According to Mr. Tran, he suffered from headaches and persistent fatigue for about 3 consecutive weeks.At first, he thought it was because he was lacking sleep, but even though he slept early and getting enough sleep, he still did not change.Until the fourth week, the migraine was so severe that he took painkillers many times a day but did not work.
When preliminary checking, the nurse in the waiting room panicked realized that Mr. Tran's blood pressure was alarming.The systolic blood pressure reaches nearly 180mmHg and diastolic blood pressure is nearly 100mmHg.While these two indicators will be at 90 - 140mmHg and 60 - 90mmHg respectively.Asking more daily life, Mr. Tran said that recently he or his chest, when he walked back, had urinating blood.
Facing excessive hypertension and arrhythmia, headache with signs of proteinuria, Mr. Tran was directly transferred to the emergency room for dialysis.Turns out, he has long kidney failure but does not know and does not treat, leading to the formation of blood.
Doctors found the cause of the disease from his unhealthy lifestyle.Mr. Tran has 4 types of eating and drinking in young people are harmful to the kidneys: like to eat late at night, drink a lot of alcohol, drink a lot of coffee every day and eat a lot of salt.In addition, he stays up late every day, lacks sleep and likes smoking.They all made him suffer from kidney disease, high blood pressure when he was very young.
Dr. Cai Qian at Kidney Department of Beijing Oriental Medicine Hospital (China) said:“Kidney failure is a gradual renal loss, unable to filter blood effectively and remove waste from the body.Hemorrhage occurs when the kidneys are no longer able to filter waste from blood effectively, leading to the accumulation of toxic substances such as urea nitrogen and creatinine in the body.This is a sign of end -stage renal failure and if not treated, it can cause serious problems from nerves to cardiovascular, digestive ... even death. "
He also issued a warning that kidney diseases, especially kidney failure, are rejuvenating very quickly.One of the main reasons is that the unhealthy lifestyle in young people, while this age group is often subjective to health, does not attach importance to the abnormalities on the body, leading to easy to ignore the signs of disease.So is Mr. Tran's case.

He missed many signs of the disease, such as fatigue, bleeding or headache.Dr. Cai explained that high blood pressure and renal failure cause headaches.High blood pressure causes headaches due to increased blood vessels, anemia and nervous system disorders.Severe kidney failure accumulates toxins, hypertension, anemia and electrolyte imbalance.
Kidney impairment also causes swelling due to accumulation of liquids, usually in the ankles, hands, and face.Fatigue due to anemia or shortness of breath due to accumulation of fluid in the lungs or lack of oxygen.Weak kidneys also cause accumulation of toxins, leading to skin itching, nausea, anorexia.In particular, the most important sign of kidney failure is changes in urination.It can be mentioned as urinating too much or too little, with lots of foam or very dark urine color, strange smell.When seriously ill may have blood.If there are these signs, you need to see a doctor right away!
