Unwilling to face the truth: decreased kidney function

When meeting with friends who haven't seen each other for a few years, they are sometimes surprised to find that the traces left by the years in appearance and physique. Perhaps after the party, in addition to lamenting that the other party is a lot older, they will also take a good look at themselves. Have you become so old too?

The maturity and aging of appearance often reflects the actual age. Although we sigh, everyone can accept it: this is a natural process.

However, with the degradation and aging of organ functions, most people have no concept. The most amazing thing about the body is that the functions of many organs have to decline until the last moment before some uncomfortable symptoms will gradually appear. If you happen to be a person with a strong personality and a habit of patience, you may also find that a certain organ function has been damaged when you can't support it. It's too late.

This is true for almost all organs. I am a nephrologist. Let's start with the kidneys.

Let's look at the picture first：



Looking at the picture, it can be seen that the kidney function of newborn babies is still developing, so the filtration rate of renal filaments is only less than half that of adults. With development and growth, by the age of two, it is roughly close to the adult's renal filaments filtration rate.Generally normal and healthy people, from the age of 20-30, the filtration rate of renal filaments is like a slide. As they get older, the value will be lower. The average decline rate of normal people is about 1 (mL/min/1.73m2) a year. About.

You will definitely ask, everyone looks different, and the differences are so big. Will everyone's kidney silk ball filtration rate fall on that line so just right?

Good question!The figure above shows the average value.So if you include more data and look at it together, the data distribution of the overall population will be as shown in the figure below.：

The figure above is a distribution map made by counting the data of all people (including patients with chronic kidney disease) together. 95% of the population is distributed between two blue lines (high standard and low standard).，

Why do you want to write this article and draw these two pictures?



In addition to letting everyone know that kidney function will slowly decline with age, I also want to tell everyone that if you only look at the value of renal filamentous membrane filtration rate, you don't know if the kidneys are sick.For example, the filtration rate of renal silk globules is 60. If it is a 20-year-old young person, it may be very problematic, while an 80-year-old person is likely to be very healthy.Nowadays, the average life span of a person is about 80 years old, so it is also very common for health check-ups to report data below 90.

Finally, the organs of the body, just like our appearance, will slowly age. Although the speed is not fast, it still needs everyone's care and good care from time to time. One day, when we live to the age of 100, the kidneys will be able to continue to work well, and we will be able to maintain a healthy body for a long time. It is considered a good life~!

Kidney exercise

1. Diagnosis - pyelonephritis 2. Indications for exercise: Physical exercises for kidney diseases help to improve blood circulation in the abdominal cavity, which has a positive effect on the condition of the kidneys. As a rule, moderate exercise leads to an increase in urine output, while high-intensity exercise leads to a marked decrease in urine output. Under the influence of muscular work, the excretory function of the kidneys increases, and the regulation of the acid-base balance improves. 3. Contraindications for physical exercises: In case of kidney diseases, the vast majority of the sports complex is occupied by exercises for the muscles of the upper body, lumbar, sacral and coccygeal regions, and the abdomen. Big demands are placed on the pace of exercise and the use of weights. As for the pace, it should be calm and measured. Any increased muscle tension is excluded. Only such training will increase blood flow in the peritoneum, strengthen the muscles of the diaphragm and the

What is the theoretical basis of UP-BRO?

Image
According to the “natural medicine” theory in the Medieval Europe and theories of the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), kidneys are the root of vital energy. As people grow older, irregular vitalstyle, unhealthy diet or congenital factors will result in energy consumption greater than energy intake in the long run, finally leading to energy imbalance. The latest scientific researches show that the replenishing of kidney energy is the fundamental way to solve the above problem.

Vitamins for the prostate

With the development of any pathology in the body, mechanisms are launched aimed at eliminating this problem.Various resources of the body are used, which are spent on fighting the disease. This leads to a lack of vitamins and minerals in the body.Especially with a long and aggressive course of the pathology and in connection with the intake of drugs that have a suppressive effect on the immune system.When replenishing the wasted substances, the protective function of the body is restored. What vitamins are needed for the normal functioning of the prostate Inflammation of the prostate gland has a damaging effect on the tissues of the prostate, provokes a violation of microcirculation and metabolism in the organ, and contributes to a decrease in immune defense. As a therapeutic agent, antibiotics are used, which, by inhibiting the beneficial intestinal microflora, provoke the development of hypovitaminosis. This is explained by the synthesis in the intestines of many vitamins. Beneficia
