终于在这3天内，完成2各肾健康讲座会。 谢谢REDFM与Fresenius Kabi 给我有机会提高大众对肾衰竭重要性的了解与觉醒，也让我能为大家做那一点点的贡献。
肾衰竭有那么普遍吗？
- 世卫统计，每十人当中就有1 人有慢性肾衰竭， 而我们大马每7人就有1人有这问题 （15.5%），然而才5%的人们才会自己的肾健康问题。
- 每年大马新增的透析人数每年超过1万 （这是多么吓人的数字)。
- 或者你我不会是那个的15%， 就因为你我毫无症状 （初期与中期慢性肾病是毫无征兆，但当肾功能失去90%后，才可能有比较明显的不适）。
谁是高风险群？
- 年龄大的人群
- 家史有肾疾病者
- 4高（糖高，血压高， 油高，体重高）
-长期药物使用，尤其止痛药，胃药，直销产品。。。。。。
- 抽烟，喝酒。。
- 尿酸风痛， 肾结石，尿道感染者
一当有肾病，一定要透析吗？（透析=“洗血” 或“洗肚子”）
- 不一定，要依据它的功能与病起源
- 如果无法根治，您的肾内科医生会尽力维持肾功能或缓慢衰竭与讨论肾替代疗法
- 肾替代疗法：肾移植，血液或腹膜透析，安宁治疗
肾病并不是绝症，关键在早于发现，好管理： 去验各肾功能吧！可能改变您的一生。。。
Finally, within these 3 days, I managed to complete two kidney health awareness talks. Thank you to REDFM and Fresenius Kabi for giving me the opportunity to raise public awareness and understanding of the seriousness of kidney failure. I’m also grateful to be able to contribute even just a little.
Is kidney failure really that common?
According to WHO statistics, 1 in every 10 people globally has chronic kidney disease. In Malaysia, the number is even higher—1 in every 7 people (15.5%). Yet only 5% of people are aware they have kidney health issues.
Every year, more than 10,000 new dialysis patients are recorded in Malaysia—that’s a truly alarming number.
You and I may thought we are not be the part of that 15%, simply because we show no symptoms. (in fact, In the stages 1-3 of chronic kidney disease, there are usually no signs at all. Only when kidney function drops below 90% do more obvious discomfort symptoms will appear.)
Who are the high-risk groups?
Elderly
Those with a family history of kidney disease
The “4 Highs”: High blood sugar (diabetes), high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and high BMI (obesity)
Chronic usage of medications—especially painkillers, antacids, and unregulated health supplements, OTC
Smoking and alcohol consumption
People with gout (high uric acid), kidney stones, or recurrent urinary tract infections
Does having kidney disease mean you’ll definitely need dialysis?
(Dialysis = "haemodialysis or "peritoneal dialysis")
Not necessarily—it depends on the kidney’s function and the cause of the disease.
If the disease cannot be cured, your nephrologist will do their best to maintain kidney function or slow down deterioration, and will discuss renal replacement options with you.
Renal replacement therapies include: Kidney transplant, hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, or palliative care.
Kidney disease is not a death sentence. The key lies in early detection and proper management.
Go and get your kidney function tested—it could change your life.
