If these two symptoms appear in urine, it is likely that the kidneys have been injured.

 Diabetic kidney disease (glucose nephropathy) is one of the most terrifying complications of diabetes, and the uremia it causes is the leading cause of new dialysis cases every year.

However, the kidneys have strong compensatory capabilities and are particularly good at forbearing. In the 1st and 2nd stages of diabetes, there are basically no symptoms in the body until the 3rd stage.

  Only then did they start sending out distress signals.

And this stage is the "critical window period" for people with diabetes to save themselves!

If you find the following two symptoms in your urine, it may be a distress signal from your body, and you should seek medical attention as soon as possible.

1. A large amount of foam appears in the urine, which does not dissipate after 10 minutes.

Occasionally foaming in urine is normal, but if a large amount of fine foaming persists and persists for a long time

  Just pay attention.

It is likely that the glomerular filtration function is damaged, and a large amount of protein leaks from the glomerulus and is excreted in the urine, resulting in an abnormal increase in protein in the urine, increasing the surface tension of the urine, and eventually forming a layer of fine foam, and Stay for a long time.

Proteinuria is an important marker of kidney damage.

Physiological proteinuria: strenuous exercise, drinking less water, diet, etc. cause foam in the urine, which usually dissipates quickly.

2. Increased nocturia, often more than 2 times

Under normal circumstances, after falling asleep, the renal tubules reabsorb the original urine produced at night to avoid getting up at night and affecting sleep.

If the renal tubules are damaged and the reabsorption function is reduced, it will lead to a significant increase in nocturia, often more than 2 times, or nocturia often has an amount of one mineral water bottle (500 ml), or even more than the daytime urine output.

Note that morning urination and urination before going to bed do not count as nocturia.

Physiological excessive nocturia: Drinking too much water (or liquid) before going to bed, taking diuretics, eating too salty food, mental stress, insomnia, etc. lead to increased nocturia.

Other kidney diseases, heart disease, prostatic hyperplasia, urinary tract infections, etc. can also cause increased nocturia.

In addition, feeling tired, blurry or deformed vision are also danger signs of diabetes kidney disease.

How can people with diabetes stay away from diabetes? Teach you 4 tricks!

1. Regular screening for kidney disease

Patients with type 1 diabetes usually develop glucokidney after 5 years, while patients with type 2 diabetes can have glucokidney at the time of diagnosis.

Therefore, patients with type 2 diabetes should be screened for kidney disease when diagnosed, and should be screened at least once a year thereafter, including urine routine.

  , Urinary albumin/creatinine ratio

  (UACR) and serum creatinine

  (calculate eGFR).

Patients with type 1 diabetes should be screened at least once a year 5 years after diagnosis.

2. Eat fish 2 to 3 times a week

You can eat fish 2 to 3 times a week

  , fish meat is rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids

  . Try to use vegetable oils rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids such as peanut oil, soybean oil, sunflower oil and olive oil.

Studies have shown that foods rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids such as omega-3 and omega-6 can reduce inflammation and endothelial dysfunction, protect renal function in diabetic patients, and reduce the occurrence of proteinuria.

Try to avoid eating foods rich in trans fatty acids, such as fried foods.

3. Eat more foods rich in dietary fiber

Eat more rich foods, such as whole grains, beans, vegetables, etc., include vegetables in every meal, and cook with less oil, less salt, and less sugar.

Dietary fiber helps protect the kidneys and delay the progression of kidney disease.

4. Exercise 150 minutes a week

Perform ≥150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity per week. You can exercise 5 to 7 days per week for about 30 minutes each time. Avoid sitting for long periods of time.

The intensity and amount of exercise should be individualized and can be decided together with your doctor.

In addition, you must also control your blood sugar

  , blood pressure

  , blood lipids

  and weight

  , reduce the risk of diabetes kidney disease.
