Proteinuria is a common symptom of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Under some inducements, it gets relapse frequently. Here are 4 common factors that trigger relapse of proteinuria. Let’s have a quick look.
1. Infections recurs frequently.
Kidney patients themselves have low immunity, coupled with the use of steroids, immunosuppressive drugs, so they are more prone to infections. If the prevention of infection is not done, more and more serious inflammation in the body will be caused. As a result, proteinuria comes back now and then. What is worse, it can aggravate the destruction of renal function.
Kidney patients must pay attention to the prevention and treatment of infection, including respiratory tract infection, oral infection, urinary tract infection, etc. On the one hand, you can make a vaccine in advance, such as the vaccine to prevent a cold; On the other hand, to pay attention to the discomforts of body, such as periodontitis and foam urine. Once you find any of them, timely treatment should be started. At ordinary times, to pay attention to the combination of work and rest; Nutrition and diet can also improve immunity and anti-infection ability.
2. Diet is always poorly managed.
In the treatment period, a lot of kidney patients manage their diet well, but after being discharged from hospital, they do not have diet restriction at all, which trigger the relapse of proteinuria easily. Kidney disease usually has a long progression, so you need to maintain good dietary habit for a long time, which is more conformable for kidney function stability and proteinuria reduction.
For patients with massive proteinuria, adhere to a low amount of high quality protein, and low-salt diet, which can reduce the workload of kidneys, while decreasing protein leakage.
3. Drugs are used improperly.
Steroids and immunosuppressant drugs are commonly used in the treatment of protein lowering drugs. Take steroids as an example, some renal patients are too sensitive to steroids and will relapse once the drug is stopped. In face of this situation, renal patients can adjust the dosage appropriately or find alternative drugs. In recent years, two types of antihypertensive drugs have been studied: ACEI and ARBs have obvious effects on lowering proteinuria and delaying renal function. Patients with steroid intolerance can choose such drugs. However, renal insufficiency and ESRD patients are not recommended, but patients with creatinine lower than 265 can use.
4. Overwork
Staying up late for a long time will lead to decreased immunity, which will also increase the burden of the kidney, not conducive to the stability of proteinuria. It is suggested that kidney patients must coordinate the relation between job and life, and avoid stay up late as far as possible.
Hope you pay attention to the above 4 factors that trigger the relapse of proteinuria. In fact, with proper treatment, you can get a permanent control of it without worrying about relapse. For more information on proteinuria treatment, please leave a message below or contact online doctor.
