Kidney cysts are a common kidney problem, and many people may find out that they have a kidney cyst during a physical exam but don't know what it is.
Some people even think that this is a "minor problem" and there is no need to pay special attention to it, in fact, the formation of kidney cysts,There may be some reasons behind it that cannot be ignored.
If we don't pay attention to it, these causes may affect the health of the kidneys and even lead to a series of complications. So, why do some people develop kidney cysts?
有一位年逾四十的男人患者，平日工作繁忙，長時間伏案於辦公室，幾乎終日毫無運動之舉。
His diet is also irregular, preferring high-fat, high-salt foods.Doctors found multiple cysts in his kidneys, varying in size.
The patient did not have any obvious kidney discomfort at first, and even felt very healthy, however, the burden on the kidneys quietly increased under the prolonged sedentary and lack of exercise, which led to the appearance of kidney cysts.
The dangers of sitting for a long time, you may have heard a lot, sitting for a long time, especially when you are sedentary, the blood circulation of the human body becomes poor,The blood supply to the kidneys is insufficient, which affects the detoxification function of the kidneys.
Metabolic waste products and toxins accumulated in the blood may not be excreted in time through the kidneys, increasing the burden on the kidneys, and over time, the cells of the kidneys will gradually be damaged, and cysts may form.
Studies have shown that long-term lack of exercise not only affects cardiovascular health, but is also closely related to the decline of kidney function, and a sedentary lifestyle is an important factor in the decline of kidney function.
這種情況在現代社會越來越普遍，尤其是那些從事辦公室工作的職員、程式師以及長時間開車的司機，都會面臨這樣的問題。要避免腎囊腫的發生，最有效的辦法就是在日常生活中增加運動量，至少每天走一萬步，Increases blood flow to the kidneys and helps the kidneys get rid of toxins better.
When it comes to kidneys, many people think of high blood pressure, which is known as the "invisible killer of kidneys".
I once had a patient, aged around 60 years old, who didn't usually feel any significant discomfort,However, a kidney cyst was found during a physical examination.
Upon further examination, we found that his blood pressure had reached the criteria for hypertension, although he did not experience headaches or other discomfort.
The renal microvessels of hypertensive patients are affected by high-pressure blood flow for a long time, which is easy to cause damage to the blood vessel wall.Kidney function gradually declines, which in turn leads to kidney cysts.
High blood pressure is closely related to kidney disease, you know, the kidneys are responsible for filtering blood waste, when blood pressure is too high,The microvasculature of the kidneys can be damaged, which can affect the normal function of the kidneys.
What starts out as small cysts may form in the kidneys, and over time, these cysts may become larger and affect the normal function of the kidneys, especially those who have not controlled their blood pressure for a long time, and the risk of developing kidney disease is greatly increased.
A number of studies have shown that hypertension is an important risk factor for kidney cysts, and long-term hypertension can damage the blood vessels in the kidneys and form cysts.The incidence of kidney disease in hypertensive patients is significantly higher than that in normotensive patients.
Therefore, controlling blood pressure and monitoring blood pressure regularly is a key measure to avoid kidney cysts and other kidney diseases.
Poor eating habits are another cause of kidney cysts, there was a patient, aged 50 years, male, who preferred greasy food in his life,Prefer to eat foods that are high in protein and salt, especially fried foods.
He didn't have a good diet, and felt that it didn't matter what he ate as long as he wasn't hungry, until he went to the hospital for an examination because of some abnormalities in the physical examination, and was told that he had a cyst in his kidney.
High-fat, high-salt, and high-protein foods in the diet have a great impact on the kidneys, and long-term high-salt diets are easy to retain water and sodium in the body, thereby increasing the burden of kidney excretion. High-fat and high-protein foods will increase the metabolic burden on the kidneys, making the kidneys in a state of high load for a long time.Such poor eating habits often promote the formation of cysts in the kidneys.
Kidney cysts may not have significant symptoms in the early stages, but if they are not careful, when the cyst grows, it is very likely to cause more damage to the kidneys and even induce kidney failure.
Some studies have shown that a high-salt diet is strongly associated with the incidence of kidney disease, especially for people with kidney problems,A high-salt diet is undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire, which can easily lead to the deterioration of kidney function.
To prevent kidney cysts and other kidney diseases, people should avoid excessive intake of high-salt, high-fat and high-protein foods to maintain a healthy diet.
When it comes to genetic factors, we must not ignore the influence of genetic factors on the formation of kidney cysts, I once saw a young woman who had a history of kidney cysts in both parents.And she also found out that she had a kidney cyst during a recent medical check-up.
Upon further examination, it was found that the cyst in her kidney was not caused by other causes, but by genetic factors, and it was not uncommon for her family to have similar cases in almost every generation.
According to research, about 15% to 0% of kidney cyst cases are closely related to genetic factors, especially the family history of kidney cysts.Then the chances of the offspring getting sick will be greatly increased.
Although genetic factors are difficult to change, we can detect kidney cysts in time through early screening, thereby reducing kidney damage and delaying the progression of the disease.
The formation of kidney cysts is sometimes "predestined" and may not be avoided with lifestyle changes, but knowing your family history and having regular kidney check-ups are still effective preventive measures.
Kidney cysts may not cause serious symptoms in the early stages, but over time, they may affect kidney function and even induce more serious complications. Therefore, we should pay enough attention to it, by improving lifestyle habits, controlling blood pressure, eating reasonably and checking regularly, we can effectively prevent the occurrence of kidney cysts and ensure the health of the kidneys.
