What to do if men have high urea nitrogen

As the pace of modern society continues to accelerate, more and more male friends have slowly entered their sixties after struggling for most of their lives. When they should have been enjoying their old age, they found that they had severe nephritis and nephropathy syndrome, which would lead to high urea nitrogen. This would also greatly reduce the quality of their sex life. So what should we do if the male factor is too low? In the next period of time, please learn with me.

1. First, rule out whether you have symptoms and history of kidney disease, such as edema, high blood pressure, proteinuria, etc. Because creatinine and other kidney function indicators will only be abnormal when the kidneys have been damaged by more than 50%. The simplest way is to check urine and do a kidney ultrasound. If everything is normal and there is no history of kidney disease, it means that the kidneys are not sick. If the kidneys are not sick, the kidneys are not damaged, and the kidney function must be normal.

2. There is no kidney disease, so why are creatinine and urea nitrogen higher than normal? This requires some understanding of the principles.

Creatinine is a metabolite of creatine in the human body. The amount of creatine is proportional to the amount of muscle. Therefore, the creatinine value of adult males is higher than that of females. In old age, the muscle is less and the creatinine value is lower. Usually, the normal value refers to the average value of many normal people. In statistics, there is also the concept of standard deviation, that is, the mean represents 95% credibility, and the standard deviation is added to reach 100%, which means that 5% of people are higher or lower than the mean, which is still normal. Therefore, you may have a high index but it is not necessarily caused by kidney disease. According to the above principle, the speculation and explanation is that you may be a tall, muscular man. In order to make a more accurate judgment, you can do creatinine clearance.

Blood urea nitrogen is the end product of protein metabolism in the human body. Its production depends on the amount of protein intake in the diet, tissue protein metabolism and liver function. Urea nitrogen is affected by more factors and can only be used as a reference value for kidney function. As long as you eat high-protein food, your blood urea nitrogen can be high. It does not mean that your kidneys are diseased and no further analysis is needed.

3. It should be pointed out that some medicines (including Chinese and Western medicines) will affect kidney function. It is worth paying attention to and please check whether there are any suspicious medicines.

In short, a high single index is not necessarily caused by a certain disease. Don't be nervous. It is good for your health to do more understanding and analysis and have regular check-ups before drawing conclusions.

I believe that through the above learning, as long as friends who have read the above content carefully, they will have a better understanding of the high urea nitrogen in men.

Of course, I would like to remind you that many of the reasons for high urea nitrogen are also caused by serious kidney damage. Therefore, you should eat more kidney-tonifying foods in your diet.
