Three things about winter kidneys!

Winter is a challenging time for kidney patients, and cold weather places an additional burden on kidneys. Three things are easier in winter and bad for the kidneys. Blood pressure fluctuations are high, and as temperatures continue to decline, many kidney friends find it more difficult to control blood pressure. The increase in blood pressure in winter is no accident. First, cold weather can cause human blood vessels to contract, increasing external resistance and, naturally, increasing blood pressure. Secondly, to keep our bodies warm, our bodies increase the scrutinizers of lifting substances, such as tea and phenolamine. Not only are chronic kidney patients, a large number of studies have found that blood pressure in healthy populations is generally 5-10 mm mg higher in winter than in summer and that this change is significantly negative in relation to outdoor temperatures. That is, within a given range, the higher the outdoor temperature, the lower the blood pressure, the lower the outdoor temperature, the higher the blood pressure. Changes in blood pressure are more pronounced in cases of chronic kidney disease. This phenomenon is referred to as “seasonal changes” in blood pressure. Many of the changes in life habits are also “motivating”. For example, during the winter, people are accustomed to reducing outdoor activity, with a sharp decline in physical activity; at the same time, they increase intake of high-salt and high-heat foods; and short- and long-days can affect the hysteria of vascular scalding. The challenge for kidneys to control blood pressure is even greater. Therefore, the habit of regular measurement of blood pressure is developed, and if blood pressure is found to be elevated, the doctor communicates in a timely manner and adjusts the pressure relief programme as necessary. The salt is not determined by our taste (you don’t feel salt, you don’t mean the salt is not above the standard), but is measured by salt intake. The daily intake of salt for adults is 5g, which is an old standard. But when it’s cold, we get used to high-heat, high-salt, hot foods, like hot pans, hot and warm, and a nice soup to make up for our body. The sweat can help us take a lot of salt from our bodies, while the winter sweat is significantly reduced, so the standards for salt intake cannot be too easy. High salt diets not only affect increased blood pressure, but also make the treatment of protein urine less effective. The annual winter to March of the following spring is a high-prevalence flu season. For kidney patients, any form of infection can lead to a deterioration of the kidney condition. Inflammation can result in renal inflammation, repeated or aggravated kidney disease, such as clinical symptoms such as haematosis, protein urine and rise in blood acetic anhydride. As a result, in the high-prevalence influenza season, it is more important for friends who do not have timely influenza vaccinations to wash their hands, wear masks, avoid densely populated sites, avoid exposure to cough patients and prevent influenza. In the case of symptoms such as cough fever, it is not recommended to take cold medicine on its own, and should not be used to cause kidney damage. It should be drugged under the doctor’s guidance to help you avoid risk. For our kidneys to stay safe and secure for the winter, these three things must be doubled!
