肾衰竭

肾脏健康检查表

填写一个快速简单的肾脏健康检查表,看看您是否有患肾脏病的风险。

问题 1 of 6

您有肥胖问题吗?

肥胖会显著增加患糖尿病和高血压的风险, 这是导致肾衰竭的两个主要原因。根据保健促进局的资料显示, 体重指数在23kg/m2及以上的人处于中度肥胖风险。保持健康的体重, 将助于把肾衰竭的风险降到最低。

问题 2 of 6

您患有糖尿病吗?

在新加坡, 几乎一半的糖尿病者并不知道自己的病情。这是非常危险的, 因为糖尿病控制不好会损害肾脏的血管并破坏肾脏的过滤器。因糖尿病引发的肾衰竭病例, 新加坡在全球排名前榜。通过定期的健康体检, 可及早发现病情。这是非常重要的,因为糖尿病前期可以通过改善生活方式来逆转。

问题 3 of 6

你患有高血压吗?

高血压是新加坡肾衰竭的第二导因。事实上, 四分之一的新加坡成年人患有高血压。不幸的是, 衰老会使血压自然升高。与糖尿病相似, 不受控制的高血压可迅速发展导致肾衰竭。大多数的人在肾脏受到极大损害之前几乎没有任何症状。

问题 4 of 6

你有抽烟吗?

除了癌症和心脏病, 吸烟还与糖尿病、高血压和其他肾脏病的潜在危险因素有关。肾脏负责过滤血液中的废物, 而吸烟会影响肾脏的血液流动。肾单位的损伤是不可逆转的, 随着时间的推移可能导致肾衰竭。

问题 5 of 6

您有经常服用非甾体抗炎药 (NSAIDS) 吗?

非甾体抗炎药 (NSAIDS), 如止痛药, 如布洛芬, 萘普生和阿司匹林, 可能很容易在柜台上买到, 但如果服用过量, 它们会损害您的肾脏。有些人误以为, 因为非甾体抗炎药不需要处方, 可定期服用大剂量是安全的。事实上, 非甾体抗炎药并非完全没有风险, 应谨慎食用, 特别是那些肾功能不好的病患。

问题 6 of 6

您有肾脏家族病史吗?

肾脏病可能是遗传的。如果您的家庭有肾病病史, 您应该采取预防措施, 定期进行健康检查。一个简单的尿检可以确定蛋白质是否漏入尿液, 这是肾脏受损的迹象。血液检查能测定病人的血清肌酐水平,从而能估算肾小球滤过率。病人的肾小球滤过率能显示肾脏的排毒功能。

别乱吃药

如何检查我是否患有肾衰竭?

肾衰竭是个隐形杀手,因此肾脏病在早期时难以被察觉到。聆听您的肾脏,并注意身体可能给您发出的早期警号和症状

若您:

年龄介于21至70岁 
符合 以下任何一个条件: 
血缘亲属患有肾脏病
患有糖尿病或 / 以及高血压
马来族(鉴于目前慢性肾脏病的较高发病率)
目前没有任何医生定时跟进您的糖尿病或 / 以及高血压病情

您可报名参加我们的慢性肾脏病介入诊所所提供的免费肾脏健康检查。

如果您察觉到自己有肾衰竭的症状和体征,请立即咨询您的医生。您的医生可能会建议您进行肾病筛查,以做进一步的诊断。您的医生也可能检查您的肾小球滤过率, 以衡量您的肾功能是否正常。

随着慢性肾脏病的进展, 肾小球滤过率将下降。在慢性肾脏病的第5期, 也称为末期肾病或肾衰竭, 病患必须接受长期洗肾治疗或肾脏移植才能存活。

如果我被诊断患上肾衰竭, 我该怎么办?

被诊断为肾衰竭的病患需要接受洗肾治疗或肾脏移植。然而, 洗肾不能完全取代我们的肾脏功能。因为我们的肾脏连续工作24小时, 每周7天, 以维持我们的身体组成正常, 而洗肾是间歇性的。

洗肾患者的生活质量在一定程度上受到疾病的制约。肾脏移植是最好的治疗方法, 因为被移植的肾几乎可以完全替代已经衰竭的肾脏功能。

揪出肾衰竭背后的隐形杀手的秘诀!

保持肾脏健康是预防肾衰竭最佳方法。
