Prevention is the best treatment !

Many patients are unaware that they are losing nephrons. If detected and intervened in time, it is entirely possible to avoid renal failure.
For ordinary people: prevention is the best treatment.

1. Eat less salt and sugar, eat a balanced diet, quit smoking and drinking, and get enough sleep

The average daily salt intake per person should not exceed 5 grams. In addition, you should also eat less sodium-rich condiments such as MSG, chicken essence, soy sauce, and miso, as well as foods such as pickles, pickles, and kimchi. Ensure 7 to 8 hours of sleep every night.

2. Drink plenty of water and don’t hold in your urine.



Drink at least 1500-1700 ml of water every day. Enough water can allow the kidneys to maintain normal work, eliminate harmful metabolic substances in a timely manner, and maintain good health.
Another suggestion is not to hold in your urine, because holding in your urine can easily lead to upward reflux of urine, which can cause urinary tract infection and also affect the kidneys.

3. Maintain ideal weight (BMI)
The ideal weight range actually varies from person to person, but the general standard is BMI 18.5 to 24.0. It is recommended that you exercise at least 5 times a week for 30 minutes each time.

4. Use medication with caution and standardization
Be sure to take medicine as directed by your doctor, and remember not to add or change medicines without permission.

For high-risk groups suffering from diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and gout, they must actively control their blood pressure and blood sugar. It is recommended to do two simple checks:



1. Urine test: A simple routine urine test can detect whether your urine contains protein. The presence of protein in your urine indicates that you may have kidney disease.



2. Blood test: A simple blood test can estimate your GFR (glomerular filtration rate). Glomerular filtration rate is the best way to tell how well your kidneys are functioning.
