The ancients said: With copper as a mirror, one can dress properly. Taking history as a mirror, one can know the rise and fall.
In fact, [taking urine as a mirror], you can also know some physical health conditions.
Why don’t you go with Dr. Clove today?
There is much foam in urine, which indicates that the kidney is not good?
In fact, bubbles in urine can really explain some problems, but the key is not to see how many bubbles there are, but to see-
How long can bubbles live?
Under normal circumstances, the foam in urine will dissipate quickly. When the composition of urine changes, such as more organic substances such as protein and glucose, the surface tension of urine will increase, thus forming more bubbles that are not easy to dissipate, which is what we call [proteinuria].
You know, protein is the basic substance that makes up the human body and cannot be easily [flow with urine]. About 95% of the protein will be reabsorbed by the kidney, so the normal protein content in urine is very low.
However, if it is really found that the bubbles in urine do not disperse for a long time, don’t panic first, because even proteinuria has a short duration and a relatively light degree of [physiological proteinuria].
This kind of proteinuria is usually [transient] and usually occurs after strenuous exercise, big fish and big meat eating and drinking, fever and mental stress. It is a normal phenomenon. After a rest and a good diet, it will disappear.
After drinking water, urinate, indicating that the kidney is not good?
The concept of “going to the toilet after drinking water = kidney deficiency” seems to have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. However, even doctors like us who deal with urine every day cannot judge whether the kidney is good or not only because-
Normal people are likely to want to pee after drinking water.
For example, when drinking water, the body is not short of water and naturally needs to urinate more. Especially after drinking tea or coffee and other diuresis effects, urine will be more turbulent.
For example, when the temperature is lower, more urine will be urinated. This is because the capillaries of the skin contract and the water evaporated by sweat in the body decreases, making more water excretion done through urine (kidney).
After all, one of the kidney’s jobs is to produce urine and excrete urine. After drinking urine, it only shows that the kidney produces more and excrete more. If the kidney is really [weak], can it still work so hard?
Of course, if you not only want to urinate after drinking water, but also want to urinate at any time, urinating * times a day, then you must consider that there is something wrong with your body and go to see a doctor.
The color of urine is dark, indicating that the kidney is not good?
The color of urine is one of the most intuitive indicators to reflect the state of urine, but you must have found it carefully-
The color of urine is also fickle.
If the water in the body is insufficient, the kidney will try its best to concentrate the urine and excrete the waste with the least amount of urine to free up more water for the body. At this time, the concentration of urine is extremely high and the color is relatively dark. This often happens after getting up in the morning.
You see, sometimes the color of urine is darker, which reflects good renal function from the side.
Some drugs can also change the color of urine, such as sulfonamides, chloroquine, furantoin, primaquine and other drugs can make urine brown or rust yellow to brown. However, don’t worry, the color of urine will return to normal after withdrawal.
If dark yellow (strong tea-like) urine and yellow foam that is not easy to dissipate continue to appear, it indicates that urine contains a large amount of [conjugated bilirubin].
Conjugated bilirubin is formed in the liver and excreted mainly through the intestinal tract and urine. When the bile duct is blocked or the liver cannot work normally, a large amount of conjugated bilirubin can only be excreted through urine, thus causing the color of urine to deepen.
In short, the persistent occurrence of deep yellow urine may be due to liver problems, not kidney problems.
The smell of urine is heavy, indicating that the kidney is not good?
There are many factors that affect the smell of urine. Generally, the first factor we consider is-
Eat what.
Sometimes, even if you drink an extra cup of coffee, the smell of urine will change.
There are also times when a person enjoys asparagus to his heart’s content and may pour out an unspeakable strange smell in his urine in the bathroom, which is called asparagus urine.
However, if we don’t eat anything special, fresh urine always smells very heavy, or has a strange smell different from usual, how can we [smell urine to recognize diseases]?
Here is a brief introduction:
- The pungent smell of ammonia: It is usually the smell of old urine (the kind of urinal that no one cleans, As you know …) If fresh urine has a pungent smell (ammonia smell), It may be that the body is dehydrated, It is more likely to indicate chronic cystitis or urine retention. In addition, Menopause, certain sexually transmitted diseases and metabolic disorders may also aggravate the taste of ammonia. Garlic flavor: The person who can’t think of it did not agree with a word and dried the whole bottle of pesticide (organophosphorus poisoning), At that time, Their urine smells like garlic. Sweet: It is said that the urine of diabetics attracts ants because it tastes sweet (untested), but it may also be because their urine has the smell of apples. Fecal odor: If the smell of urine is similar to that of stool, it is likely that the person who urinated is already lying in a hospital bed, which is more common in [bladder colon fistula].
Of course, I would like to remind you here that we still cannot diagnose diseases only by the taste of urine. After all, the smell is only a small clue, and 1,000 people may be able to smell 1,000 kinds of smells…
If you feel that your urine smells abnormal and cannot be clearly explained, then the most reliable way is to go to the hospital for examination.
If you want to know the condition of the kidney, it is really not difficult, Dr. Clove thinks, let’s not have difficulty urinating.
It is good to go directly to a regular hospital for urine routine, renal function, urinary system B-ultrasound, CT and other examinations.
In short, urine does know whether the kidney is good or not, but more importantly, we need to know ourselves.
