Compared to a natural filter, the kidneys take care of removing waste products and fluids from the blood to ensure and maintain all activities of the body. In order to have a filter that is always healthy and efficient, we need to understand and have reasonable and scientific care.

Severe consequences from chronic renal failure

Although not in the group of infectious diseases, the incidence of chronic kidney disease is increasing. According to statistics of the International Nephrology Association, more than 10% of the world population (about 2.6 million people) has chronic kidney disease and 1 in 10 have it. This number is expected to double by 2030.

Among kidney diseases, chronic kidney disease has high incidence, severity and causes more serious consequences for patients and society. When you have chronic kidney disease, your kidneys cannot remove waste products and lose control of the body's water content, blood salt levels, and calcium. The waste will accumulate in the body and cause harm to patients. Although the severity and severity of each patient is different, the basic and challenging thing for the present patient is that this disease cannot be cured. People who are sick if they want to prolong their life need dialysis and life-long care. Most patients will face the risk of premature death because there is no cure because the cost of each dialysis is quite high from 800 thousand to one million VND / time, 2-3 times per week. Moreover, the health of people with chronic kidney disease declines very quickly, can not work so this cost is really a burden for relatives and families.

In Vietnam, there are currently about 26,000 people with end-stage chronic kidney failure requiring dialysis and 8,000 new cases. In recent years, kidney failure due to complications of metabolic diseases such as diabetes, gout is constantly increasing. However, only about 5,000 people are treated and the poor have health insurance accounts for only 10%. Many people, even though they are covered by insurance, still cannot afford to pay for hospitalization, medicine, renting a house, etc.

Rising trends and culprits causing disease

Many studies show that hypertension, type 2 diabetes is responsible for two thirds of the total cases of kidney failure, especially end-stage renal failure. Recently, the World Health Organization has issued a warning about the link between obesity and kidney disease. Obesity can damage kidney function before diabetes and hypertension negatively affects the kidneys and is a major cause of kidney disease.

Currently, there are about 600 million obese people in the world, including about 220 million children. In Vietnam, the number of people suffering from kidney disease accounts for about 7% of the population and most of them fall into people with metabolic syndrome who are overweight, obesity, hypertension, diabetes. This indicates that the incidence of kidney disease will continue to increase and increase in this group of patients in the following years because obesity has been identified as a risk factor for chronic kidney disease.

In addition, health experts also warn of poisoning, including habit of using arbitrary drugs, unidentified origin, using traditional medicine mixed with western medicine as well as the cause of kidney failure. Because most drugs are eliminated by the kidneys.

Concerns about kidney disease not only because of its implications for human health, because the incidence is constantly increasing but also because the age of the disease is getting younger. In France, in 1996 the average age of dialysis was 66 years old, while in our country today is 46-47 years old. Many very young patients, unmarried students also rely on machines to maintain and extend life.

Protect the "body's natural filter"

Kidney disease usually causes no symptoms until it has progressed. As a result, those at risk should get regular checkups. Many cases, thanks to early diagnosis and treatment, slow the progression to chronic kidney disease.

For the earliest detection, people need to have regular blood tests. Also equipped with knowledge, understanding and listening to his body to detect early signs of disease such as limb edema, changes in urination (urination at night, urine with saliva, blood in the urine ... ), tired people, weight loss. Individuals who are ill need to learn more about access to information about dialysis, treatments to take care of their own health, not just rely on medical staff.

Compared to a natural filter, the kidneys take care of removing waste products and fluids from the blood to ensure and maintain all activities of the body. In order to have a filter that is always healthy and efficient, we need to understand and have reasonable and scientific care.

Because of the important role of the kidneys and the dangers, health experts emphasize the knowledge and strengthening of prevention is very important to minimize the incidence and duration. and increase the efficiency of life when acquired. Each person needs to raise their sense of weight control through a reasonable diet and exercise every day to protect the body's natural filter. For people who are overweight, need to improve health by losing weight. The closer it is to the normal weight, the healthier it is.
