5. Special reminder from experts
The "three-day stone elimination method" and "kidney-tonifying folk prescription" that have been popular on the Internet recently have health risks. The Nephrology Department team of Peking University First Hospital pointed out:
① Blindly taking diuretic herbs may cause electrolyte imbalance
② Applying plaster on your own for undiagnosed low back pain will delay treatment
③ Health products cannot replace regular treatment
If you have persistent backache, abnormal urine or blood pressure fluctuations, it is recommended to go to the nephrology department of a regular hospital in time. Complete examinations include: renal function testing, urine microalbumin, renal color ultrasound, etc. Early intervention can effectively delay the progression of the disease.
