The cream of chronic kidney disease is recuperated! !

Winter tonic is a folk custom with a long history in China. As the saying goes, "Everything is born in spring, longer than summer, closed in autumn and hidden in winter, which is why people are like this." The ancients thought that winter and March were the seasons of "hidden gas reservoirs", so we should pay attention to "the way of hiding", that is to say, winter is the stage of maintenance and savings all year round.

Facts have proved that winter tonic can not only regulate the body, make kidney essence abundant, but also enhance physical fitness, improve immune function and improve the body's disease resistance. Promote metabolism, improve chills and fatigue, and lay a good foundation for health in the coming year.

As the saying goes, "September makes up for a winter, and the next year is disease-free." "Make it up in winter and kill the tiger in spring." So for a long time, people have been circulating the habit of eating cream in winter.

So, what should kidney patients pay attention to when taking cream?

one

The cream is suitable for people.

Stable patient

The ointment has good curative effect on various renal diseases, including various primary glomerular diseases (such as IgA nephropathy, membranous nephropathy, minimal lesion, mesangial proliferative nephritis, etc.). ).), secondary kidney diseases (hypertensive nephropathy, diabetic nephropathy, gouty nephropathy, purpura nephropathy, lupus nephropathy, drug-induced renal damage, simple hydronephrosis, etc. ).), chronic recurrent urinary tract infection, proteinuria, hematuria and kidney puncture undiagnosed middle-aged and elderly women.

Especially for refractory hematuria, refractory proteinuria in middle-aged and elderly patients and repeated urinary tract infections in middle-aged and elderly women, it often has unexpected curative effects.

However, in the acute phase of chronic nephritis and chronic pyelonephritis, patients with chronic kidney disease complicated with acute upper respiratory tract infection, diarrhea, skin infection, acute gout, nephrotic syndrome with high edema, massive proteinuria and other uncontrolled severe kidney diseases should not take cream for the time being, and then recuperate after the disease is controlled.

sufferer of a chronic disease

There is a saying in Chinese medicine that "a long illness enters the kidney". Early primary nephropathy is common in wind-heat syndrome, damp-heat syndrome and blood-heat syndrome. Over time, spleen and kidney deficiency, kidney yin deficiency, kidney yang deficiency and other deficiency syndromes are seen. For secondary nephropathy such as hypertensive nephropathy, diabetic nephropathy and gouty nephropathy, besides a series of symptoms of renal damage and laboratory examination, there are also a series of symptoms of deficiency of kidney qi and kidney essence and deficiency of yin and yang in TCM syndromes, such as soreness of waist and knees, soreness of lower limbs and frequent urination. Therefore, patients who have been ill for a long time often have better curative effect by taking ointment.

Patients with normal renal function

In patients with chronic renal failure, with the gradual decline of renal function, the intake of protein should be reduced accordingly, especially after moderate renal function damage (glomerular filtration rate 177umol/L), and the intake of protein should be controlled at 0.6~0.8g/kg body weight per day. However, donkey-hide gelatin, tortoise plastron glue, turtle shell glue, antler glue and other flesh and blood products are often added to the paste, and the content of protein is high. If you take the cream, it will often lead to the increase of serum creatinine and urea nitrogen.

At the same time, for patients with congenital solitary kidney or unilateral nephrectomy caused by various diseases, even if the renal function is normal, due to the decline of renal reserve function, it should be carefully considered when taking cream; At the same time, renal function should be checked regularly after taking the cream.

Middle-aged patient

When people reach middle age, their physiological functions change from exuberance to decline. Many people have the symptoms of aging, such as backache, frequent urination, excessive urination in men, incontinence in women's urine, tinnitus, dizziness, decreased thinking ability and memory, forgetfulness, insomnia, fatigue, impotence and nocturnal emission, decreased libido, premature graying or alopecia of hair, loose teeth, chills, and less menstrual flow in women. Or people who work in a fast-paced and stressful environment for a long time, have "overdraft" energy, and have sub-health conditions such as dizziness, backache, fatigue, poor sleep, irritability and depression. No abnormality or abnormality was found.

When is the best time for winter tonic? Generally, the ancients had three sayings: one was from beginning of winter to beginning of spring; Second, the solstice around winter; It's three or nine days. At present, Chinese medicine generally believes that tonic is best in winter.

The winter solstice is the shortest day and the longest night in a year. There is a saying that "the winter solstice is sunny". Specifically, when the solar term runs to the winter solstice, the cathode rises. At this time, the human body is full of yang, and it is the easiest to absorb external nutrients, thus exerting its nourishing effect, which fully shows that it is most appropriate to take supplements around this day. Of course, people with chronic kidney disease and yang deficiency often need long-term tonic, and they can take two creams at a time, from beginning of winter to beginning of spring the week before.

Matters needing attention in taking ointment

During taking the cream, you should avoid eating cold, greasy, spicy and other indigestible and irritating foods; It is not advisable to drink strong tea and avoid eating raw radish. Cream can't be eaten with milk, because milk is rich in calcium, phosphorus and iron, which is easy to react with organic substances in nourishing Chinese medicine to generate insoluble and stable compounds, which will lead to the destruction of the effective components of milk and drugs, and even stimulate or allergic reactions.

When you have symptoms such as cold, fever, cough and excessive phlegm during taking the cream, you should stop taking the medicine and continue taking it after the cold is cured. For those with mild symptoms, while taking cold medicine, the amount can be reduced as appropriate.

When taking the cream, dissolve it with a small amount of boiling water and take it on an empty stomach in the morning. Don't let it cool. It is recommended to take cream once a day for the first week and a half; If there is no discomfort, take it twice a day from the second week and take it on an empty stomach one hour before going to bed in the morning and evening. If you feel uncomfortable taking it on an empty stomach, you can take it after meals 1 hour.

Some patients often need Chinese medicine 1-2 weeks to take ointment, commonly known as "prescription" There are two purposes: first, "eliminating evil and benefiting deficiency", eliminating redundant evil in the body by expelling wind, clearing heat and eliminating dampness; Secondly, "invigorating the spleen and harmonizing the movement" regulates the digestion and absorption function of the spleen and stomach through drugs such as invigorating the spleen, regulating qi and eliminating dampness, so as to better play the nourishing role of the cream.

In a word, winter is a good time for tonic. Patients with chronic kidney disease and kidney deficiency syndrome can replenish ointment, invigorate qi and promote blood circulation, tonify kidney and replenish essence, improve symptoms, strengthen physique and improve immune function. At the same time of tonic, we should also pay attention to moderate exercise, so that the whole body blood circulation and spleen and stomach function are strong, which will help the cream to absorb better.
