Jong Byung-Hoon – "The secret of the story of life" "Chronic renal failure" called hypertension and diabetes, the concept – What are the causes and symptoms?

[진병훈 기자] The 24th, "The secrets of the story of life", "An absurd threat! Chronic Kidney Disease" was broadcast.

The kidneys serve as water purifiers that drain the waste into the urine. "Chronic kidney disease", in which such a kidney can not function, is more dangerous because it does not present any distinct pain or symptom.

Yoo Soon-hee (65) was diagnosed with chronic kidney failure, while he had been diagnosed with kidney failure last year. As a result, hypertension did not know it would be called "chronic kidney disease".

Yun Jong-seong, who is currently on dialysis, also did not notice at all until he was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease. Yun's kidneys have become harder and smaller. This is a common symptom of "chronic kidney disease".

A 45-year-old South Korean who had had a cold from time to time started dialysing two months later, after being diagnosed with a lot of fatigue. The diagnosis was "fast-changing glomerulonephritis". It is a disease that causes inflammation of the glomeruli that make up the kidneys.

When the glomeruli are inflamed, blood and protein escape from the urine. However, in many cases, they do not know it because they are visible only by microscopy.

Nam was a terminal kidney disease, but fortunately his brother received a kidney transplant.

If you have noticed the concept up to now, the causes are hypertension and diabetes.

If the blood pressure is high, the glomerular wall of the kidney is thickened, resulting in the accumulation of protein and fat and kidney failure. When the kidneys get worse, they develop a vicious cycle that is reminiscent of hypertension. The management of blood pressure is the most important reason.

Chung Man – tae (76) has been suffering from hypertension since the age of 50 and has finally suffered from high blood pressure. chronic kidney disease. According to the Korean Kidney Science Society, more than half of patients with chronic renal failure 1, 2 and 3 had hypertension and 80% of them were in the fourth stage.

Diabetes is also a major cause of chronic kidney disease.

When the blood becomes sticky, the capillaries become clogged and various metabolic byproducts accumulate. Finally, the glomerulus is damaged by waste, resulting in chronic kidney disease.

Mun-kwon-shik (55) had diabetes from the age of 30, but he ignored it. Mr. Munkwon starts his breakfast by bike to heal himself even later.

KBS1 – Secrets of Life & # 39; is broadcast every Wednesday night at 22:00.
