Premature nephron failure can be caused by a variety of diseases and behaviors. Here are some of the main factors:
Disease factors:
Prerenal renal failure: This usually results from reduced renal perfusion and acute volume depletion. Hypovolemia may result from gastrointestinal loss (such as severe vomiting, diarrhea), excessive skin water loss (such as extensive burns or excessive sweating without timely rehydration), renal polyuria (such as overuse of diuretics or diabetic patients) ), and heavy bleeding (such as a car accident or accident). Additionally, reduced cardiac output (eg, heart failure) may also lead to premature nephron failure.
Diabetes and hypertension: Long-term hyperglycemia and hypertension can damage glomeruli and renal tubules, leading to irreversible necrosis of the nephron.
Acute and chronic urinary tract infections: such as acute urethritis, acute cystitis, etc. These inflammations may further develop into chronic nephritis and affect kidney function.
Behavioral factors:
Unhealthy eating habits: Frequent overeating and excessive intake of salt, oil and protein, especially when dining out, as restaurant food usually contains more oil and salt, which will increase the burden on the kidneys.
Lack of sleep and staying up late: Prolonged lack of sleep and physical tension may lead to abnormal vasoconstriction, which in turn triggers a sustained increase in systemic blood pressure and intrarenal pressure, thereby aggravating kidney disease.
Over-reliance on snacks: Snacks usually contain high sodium, such as plums, spicy strips, ham sausages, potato chips, etc. Long-term intake of these foods may cause damage to the nephron.
Sedentary: Prolonged sitting, lack of exercise, and obesity may lead to an increased risk of diabetes and high blood pressure, which indirectly affects kidney health.
Frequently holding in urine: Bacterial growth in urine can lead to urinary tract infections, which can damage kidney health in the long term.
Abuse of "kidney-tonifying" foods: Some foods that people think can nourish the kidneys, such as kidneys, collagen soup, etc., may actually contain too much cholesterol, inferior protein and other nephrotoxic substances, and long-term consumption may cause damage to the nephrons.
In summary, premature nephron failure is the result of a variety of diseases and adverse behaviors. To protect kidney health, we should maintain a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, regular work and rest, moderate exercise, avoiding drug and food abuse, as well as regular physical examinations and timely treatment of kidney diseases.
