17.6% is the number of Thai people with chronic kidney disease or those with latent kidney disease. Representing approximately 8 million people of the Thai population But the patients with kidney failure in the final stage It is approximately 8 thousand and tends to increase every year about 1-2 thousand people per year.
Previously, the World Health Organization or WHO issued a announcement to people around the world. Be aware of the consumption of salty food As a risk factor for kidney disease But if they are exactly the same Salty food is not just the ticket to a destination for kidney disease. Because there are still many causes and risks That is ready to take us to run the path of the disease at any time And not just on the second Thursday of March But everyday That we need to be aware about "kidney disease" more than this
Cause of "kidney disease" that is not from "eating salty"
Eat foods that are spicy, sweet, oily, etc.
Let's say you don't like eating salty food anyway. Do not cut the card just beware of kidney disease Because if you accidentally push to love food that is oily or sweet. The risks are almost the same.
Drink less water
In addition to eating habits Drinking less water Can be a cause that increases the risk of developing kidney disease as well
Do not exercise
The research found that People who lack regular exercise They are at twice the risk of developing kidney disease than the average person.
Take NSAIDs
Dr. Phongpan Thanak, MD. Specialist in Nephrology Institute of Nephrology and Kidney Transplantation Praram 9 Hospital stated that in addition to known dietary factors, Also need to be careful about taking medication Especially in the group of painkillers, NSAIDs that cause blood to the kidneys to decrease. And resulting in worsening of kidney function as well But what is the main cause of the risk of kidney disease really about 70% is the underlying disease. Like diabetes and blood pressure Or even fat and obesity It is also a risk.
Dangerous signs "kidney disease"
Symptoms that may occur first. For patients with kidney disease is
There is swelling, especially on the eyelids, face or in some cases on the shins.
Abnormal urination, such as blood in the urine Or looks like a fine bubble It also results in an abnormal amount of urine as well, such as decreased urine volume even though drinking the same amount of water. Or urinating more often at night
The danger of kidney disease
For other diseases When we encounter abnormal symptoms quickly We are always getting good treatment. But it's unfortunate that kidney disease is not like that. Because as soon as we notice the abnormal symptoms that mean we are suffering from a dangerous stage of kidney disease. Or the worst is the fifth phase that will follow "End-stage renal failure symptoms"
Dr. Phanphan said the symptoms of kidney disease patients had five stages, but most of the patients, if not in the final or really bad stages Usually asymptomatic Therefore, than some patients will come to the doctor He was already sick in the last stage. Even if the patient has an underlying disease with it Until kidney function deteriorates The options that doctors can do are just to slow down the deterioration of the kidneys. To prevent symptoms from spreading to the final stage AMB
