Not a few kidney patients suffer from such a cycle of kidney disease: within control—relapse—control again—relapse again. How to prevent the relapse of kidney disease? As long as you can follow the following 5 suggestions, you can do it.

1. Do not take medications blindly nor stop medications

You should know what kind of medications can be taken, and which medications can not. For example, ACEI or ARBs. To stabilize proteinuria and protect kidney function, you should use them for long term. If you do not know whether you can use certain medicine or not, you had better consult your doctor. Because most medicines go through kidneys after metabolism, if you do not pay attention, they may cause further kidney damage.

2. Do not stay up, and keep positive attitude.

The best time for sleeping at night is from 11pm to 3am. If you do not go to bed after 12 pm, it is called staying up. Inadequate sleeping can speed up kidney function impairment and proteinuria. Besides, you should keep good mood and relax yourself to cooperate with the doctor’s treatment and take medications on time. Under such a circumstance, your condition can gradually get well.

3. Control salt intake

Too much sat intake can add insult to injury, while too less salt intake can cause low salt syndrome. Therefore, you should know the amount of salt intake per day. Generally speaking, salt intake should be no more than 6g per day.

4. Prevent infections

Infections can also worsen kidney disease, so it is important for you to reduce infections, but some of them are potential, such as chronic periodonititis, tonsillitis, gynecologic inflammation, etc. If you are with them, you should consult doctors timely. In daily, you can take some exercises regularly to strengthen your immunity.

5. Do regular checkups

Even if your disease has been stable, you should do regular checkups, every three months reexamine one time to check your urine routine, serum creatinine, urine protein, etc. If there is anything wrong, you should tell your doctors.
