Since 2006, the International Society of Nephrology (ISN) and the International Federation of Kidney Foundations (IFKF) have identified the second Thursday of March as World Kidney Day, with the aim of improving People's awareness of chronic kidney disease and related cardiovascular diseases and mortality, and the urgent need for early detection and prevention of chronic kidney disease. The theme of 2015 World Kidney Day is "Kidney Health for All" health)".

From the overall situation of the world, the prevention and treatment of chronic kidney disease is facing severe challenges. This challenge is mainly characterized by the high prevalence of chronic kidney disease prevention, high cardiovascular disease rate and high mortality rate, low awareness rate, low prevention rate and low cognitive rate of cardiovascular disease. Three low" features.

According to estimates by ISN and IFKF, patients with chronic kidney disease account for one-tenth of the world's population, that is, more than 500 million people, most of whom have not been diagnosed and treated promptly. Patients with chronic kidney disease who are found to have serious consequences, first of all, loss of kidney function leading to renal failure and need dialysis or transplantation therapy, more importantly, premature death from cardiovascular disease before entering the kidney failure period.

Early detection, early treatment

With the increasing global kidney disease, the cost of treatment for such diseases has become a serious burden on the global health care system. Taking a healthy lifestyle to reduce the risk of kidney disease, the strategy of "early detection, early treatment" for chronic kidney disease can effectively control the development of chronic kidney disease.

Hypertension and diabetes are the most common causes of kidney disease. Among them, more than one-fourth of patients with renal failure are caused by hypertension, and about one-third of renal failure is caused by diabetes. Other causes of kidney disease include inflammation (glomeritis), infection, genetic or long-term obstruction of the urinary system (eg, enlarged prostate or kidney stones). In addition, the abuse of some drugs, especially long-term use of painkillers, can also cause chronic kidney disease.

Early chronic kidney disease can be without any symptoms. If kidney disease is detected early, it can delay or even prevent kidney failure. If you have the following high-risk factors, a kidney function test is recommended.

Seven criteria for kidney protection

Professor Wang Haiyan, the mother of Chinese nephrology, published an influential survey on the prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in China in the international authoritative medical journal Lancet. According to the survey, the prevalence of chronic kidney disease in the Chinese adult population is 10.8%. According to this calculation, there are more than 100 million patients with chronic kidney disease in China. So, how should we protect the kidneys in daily life? The following are the seven guidelines for kidney protection proposed by the World Kidney Day website:

1. Do more exercise: you can lower your blood pressure.

2. Maintain healthy body water absorption: The kidneys can discharge body waste through the urine.

3. Control blood sugar: About half of diabetic patients develop kidney damage, and diabetic patients must perform regular tests to ensure kidney function.

4. Control blood pressure: Although many people know that high blood pressure can cause stroke or heart attack, only a few people know that it is also one of the most common causes of kidney damage.

5. Healthy eating, maintaining weight: This can help prevent diabetes, heart disease and other diseases associated with chronic kidney disease.

6. No smoking: Smoking slows the flow of blood to the kidneys. If the blood flow to the kidneys is reduced, it will damage the normal working ability of the kidneys. Smoking also increases the risk of kidney cancer, which can increase by more than about 50%.

7. Do not abuse drugs: Some common drugs such as the steroid anti-inflammatory drug ibuprofen, if taken regularly, can cause kidney damage and kidney disease.
