Kidney medicine

Maintaining and taking care of kidney health is a very important task for humans. After all, it is to this body that one of the main roles in regulating water-salt and acid-base balances, normalizing blood pressure and nitrogen metabolism is assigned. They control the kidneys and the processes responsible for blood coagulation. They play a major role in cleansing the body of toxic substances. Their functions also include the development of biologically active elements that contribute to the normal functioning of all systems and organs. Such substances include:

-renin, which regulates blood pressure;

-aritropoietin, which contributes to the production of red blood cells in the bone marrow;

-quinine with antimalarial action;

Ξ²-prostaglandin, which is a biologically active element;

urokinase, which is responsible for blood coagulation.

Reducing the intake of these substances in the body can cause a large list of various diseases.

A kidney medicine should be recommended by a specialist in case of various symptoms that indicate interruptions in the impeccable work of this body. To date, the pharmaceutical industry produces a lot of such drugs. All of them are divided into groups.

A kidney medicine that is widely used for urinary tract infections is a sulfa drug. Biseptolum refers to such a medication. It is a highly soluble, non-precipitating drug. With pyelonephritis, Furazolidone, Furagin, Nevigramon and other drugs are recommended for use . Their intestinal absorption is quite high. They are low toxic and excreted by the kidneys. However, their use can cause allergic reactions and dyspeptic disorders.

The next group of drugs that are actively used in the treatment of kidneys are steroidal drugs that have anti-inflammatory properties. Their influence is due to the impact on the focus of the pathological process and the permeability of cell membranes. A kidney medicine, which is part of this group, is recommended for a large list of diseases, including glomerulonephritis. Steroid drugs can have a desensitizing and immunosuppressive effect. During the course of treatment, swelling is eliminated, urinary syndrome decreases, the composition of the protein in the blood serum normalizes and diuresis increases. The drugs of this group are recommended for glomerulonephritis, especially with latent and hematuric forms. These drugs include prednisone.

A kidney medicine prescribed by your doctor may also be a diuretic. These drugs are used to cleanse this organ. These include Indalamide and Hydrochlorodiazide.

Preparations for the kidneys, prescribed by specialists, can relate to phytotherapeutic agents.

In the initial stages of the disease, they are in first place in the large list of medicines used. The drugs "Kanefron N", "Lespenephril", "Uriflorin" and many others are widely used. Medicinal herbs, which are part of these products (St. John's wort, hawthorn, elderberry, astragalus), regulate the autonomic, neuroendocrine and nervous systems. Providing a positive sedative, homeostatic and trophic effects, they enhance the adaptive forces of the diseased organ, as well as the whole organism.
