Snowflake crystal interstitial nephritis kidney stones gout kidney nuts high purine
He had been urinating repeatedly for twenty years, and both kidneys were diagnosed with diffuse lesions! In the past six months, joints have become red, swollen, hot and painful. When I checked this indicator in my blood, it turned out to be 100-200 higher than the normal value! Today's show has a special audience, Aunt Gao. She has been suffering from kidney disease since 2003. She has never dared to find out the real cause through kidney puncture because of fear. Now talking about her kidney damage process has become a big deal. Clear the "confused account".
However, experts pointed out after analysis: There are not a few middle-aged and elderly friends like Aunt Gao who have injured their kidneys through "confusion", because everyone has a "snowflake"-like substance in their body, which can directly damage the kidneys once it exceeds the limit, and there is no such thing in the early stage. Any obvious symptoms can even lead to kidney failure in a short period of time!
So, what is this "snowflake" that can quietly suppress kidney function? Why should we take more precautions in winter? Please pay attention to "Silent" Kidney Damage in Winter, co-sponsored by Professor Zuo Li, Director of the Department of Nephrology, Peking University People's Hospital, and Chief Physician Sui Zhun.
It turns out that this "little snowflake" that damages the kidneys is urate crystals. Under the microscope, real urate crystals have different shapes, but they all have the characteristics of small molecules and can directly penetrate into the renal tubules and cause inflammatory reactions. When blood uric acid rises significantly in a short period of time, it can cause acute kidney damage or kidney stones; while slowly exceeding the standard of uric acid over time can also cause irreversible chronic damage to kidney function!
The most surprising thing is that this kind of gouty kidney disease does not have the familiar kidney disease-related symptoms such as back pain, edema, foamy urine, etc., and "skips" gout and directly causes kidney failure! Do you want to know what are the only symptoms of early gouty nephropathy? Don't miss tonight's show.
The Spring Festival holiday is about to begin. Do you know all the high-purine foods on the table? There is a type of New Year snack that is a must-have for every household, but it is an unexpected “purine powerhouse”!
Two experts suggest that people with hyperuricemia can eat some alkaline foods in moderation to neutralize uric acid. The so-called "alkaline foods" are not classified according to taste. These sour fruits are actually alkaline. Sex food!
