This body fluid can actually tell whether a man has kidney deficiency

You can tell a person’s health condition and whether he or she has kidney deficiency from his or her urine. Let’s take a look.

1. How many times a day is normal to urinate?

A, 6 times; B, 7 times; C, 8 times; D, 9 times

Correct answer: C

Expert analysis: The standard for healthy urination is: 8 times a day, about 300 ml each time, and the total volume does not exceed 3000 ml. If it is more than 8 times without drinking water, it is called frequent urination. Many people think that if they always want to urinate, it must be kidney deficiency. In fact, most frequent urination has nothing to do with the kidney.

If you urinate frequently but the amount of urine is small, it may be a problem with the bladder and urethra; if you urinate frequently and the amount of urine is not small, it may be a metabolic disease, such as diabetes or polyuria. Only if you urinate frequently and a routine urine test shows high urine protein, it may be a problem with the kidneys.

Some people urinate frequently because they always feel the urge to urinate. You can check yourself: if you feel the urge to urinate very urgently, it may be an overactive bladder; if the urge to urinate is subtle and not urgent, it may be sensory nerve hypersensitivity or chronic bladder inflammation caused by urinary tract infection.

2. How many times at night is it best to get up?

A, 0 times; B, 1 time; C, 2 times; D, 3 times

Correct answer: B

Expert analysis: The best ratio is to urinate 8 times a day, 7 times during the day and 1 time at night.

One reason for getting up too often at night is drinking too much water before going to bed. This is normal. There is no need to deliberately reduce the amount of water you drink at night to avoid getting up at night, unless you are a patient with congestive heart failure or hypertension, who needs to control the amount of water you drink throughout the day. Don't worry about drinking too much water at night and getting swollen eyes and face in the morning. This only happens to people with kidney problems. Healthy kidneys will metabolize normally and will not cause swelling.

In order to reduce the number of times they get up at night, many elderly people dare not drink any water at night. Over time, this will make their urine very concentrated, leading to diseases such as bladder stones.

Another situation is that you don’t drink much water at night but always get up at night. This is the same as frequent urination during the day. A large amount of urine each time indicates an internal metabolic disease; a small amount of urine each time indicates a problem with the bladder and urethra.

Expert analysis: Generally speaking, it takes 30-45 minutes for water to be metabolized normally in the body, which is equivalent to the time of a school class. However, even if you choose other options in this question, it does not necessarily mean that there is something wrong with your body, especially your kidneys. The length of time that water stays in the body is mainly affected by two factors. One is whether the food you eat is salty or light. When you eat too much salt, it will take longer to urinate because salt will cause water to be retained in the body.

Second, do you eat too much or too little? If you drink beer without eating anything before the party, you will feel like going to the toilet soon; but if you drink alcohol after eating, especially after a staple food, you will not feel the urge to urinate easily. The reason is simple: food absorbs water like a sponge, which prolongs the time it takes to be discharged.

In addition, whether the body is dehydrated and the weather will also affect the time of urination. After exercising, you sweat a lot and your body is highly dehydrated. All the water you drink is absorbed and difficult to excrete. If the weather is too cold, it is difficult for the water to evaporate through sweat and it can only turn into urine, which makes people want to go to the toilet frequently.
