Kidney disease has become a new national health issue, with the number of dialysis patients increasing by 8,000 annually—almost one new case every hour.
A significant proportion of these patients are young adults under 40, largely due to diets high in oil and salt and insufficient water intake.
Additionally, individuals with the "three highs" (hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and hyperglycemia) are at high risk, with a disease incidence more than twice that of healthy individuals.
The dialysis population has surpassed 60,000, growing by 8,000 each year.
Who is most at risk? Doctors have identified patients with the "three highs" as the high-risk group—hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and especially diabetes. The likelihood of developing chronic kidney disease is more than double that of healthy individuals.
Poor control of the "three highs" severely damages the kidneys.
Another concern is frequent diners-out, whose diets tend to be oily, salty, and sugary. Tests often reveal high blood sugar, high blood pressure, and poor kidney function. Doctors are particularly worried about the rising number of young kidney disease patients.
To prevent kidney disease, those with the "three highs" must not neglect monitoring blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar. Adhering to a "three-low" diet—low oil, low sugar, and low salt—can help reduce the risk of illness.
