"What are the Preventive Measures for Uremia?"
1. Actively treat the primary disease: Uremia usually develops from chronic kidney disease. Early diagnosis and treatment of the primary disease can control the progression of the disease. Common causes of chronic kidney disease include chronic glomerulonephritis, diabetic nephropathy, and hypertensive kidney damage. If these diseases exist, they should be actively treated to prevent further progression.
2. Control blood pressure: Patients with uremia often have hypertension, so active blood pressure control can help reduce proteinuria and delay the progression of kidney function. Medications such as nifedipine, furosemide, and captopril can be used under a doctor's guidance.
3. Correct anemia: Patients with uremia often have anemia, mainly due to a lack of erythropoietin. Therefore, when anemia exists, medications such as recombinant human erythropoietin and iron supplements can be prescribed. Daily consumption of pork liver, lean meat, and other foods can also help correct anemia.
4. Avoid urine retention: Patients with uremia often have difficulty urinating, which may lead to urine retention and induce uremia. Therefore, urine retention should be avoided as much as possible. When there is a sense of urination, it should be expelled promptly to prevent bacteria from breeding locally and affecting health.
In addition to the above measures, attention should also be paid to dietary adjustment in daily life. A low-protein, low-salt, and low-fat diet should be adopted. Appropriate physical activities and weight control are also recommended. Maintaining a pleasant mood can also be helpful for disease recovery.
