Patient's question:
I am 67 years old this year. I previously had kidney inflammation, which has now been treated. However, I am concerned about the risk of developing uremia. How can uremia be prevented?Doctor's answer:
For kidney disease such as uremia, the general public is indeed quite fearful. How can we prevent uremia? First and foremost, it is essential to develop good lifestyle habits. This means avoiding overeating and consuming a light diet, and maintaining a regular lifestyle without staying up late. For some underlying conditions, such as hypertension or diabetes, it is important to control them promptly. Of course, if, unfortunately, high creatinine levels are detected during a test, it is crucial not to ignore the situation. Regular monitoring should be conducted under the guidance of a doctor to slow the progression of kidney disease and delay the stage at which kidney dialysis becomes necessary. This can alleviate the financial burden on both the kidney disease patients and their families, as well as improve the quality of life for the patients.
