Head and Neck Cancer: Risk Factors and Prevention


What is head and neck cancer?

Head and neck cancer are a group of cancers that originate in the head or neck region, including on and around the lips, tongue, throat, sinuses, and nasal cavity. These cancers are typically divided into two types: squamous cell carcinomas (cells that line the hollow organs of the body) and non-squamous cell carcinomas (any type of cancer that does not form these cells). Head and neck cancer can be caused by tobacco use, alcohol use, genetics and other environmental factors.

What are the signs and symptoms of head and neck cancer?

The following are some common signs and symptoms of head and neck cancer:



A lump or sore in the head or neck that does not heal.


Sore throat that does not go away.


Swelling of the jaw or face.


Trouble swallowing.


Unexplained weight loss.


Chronic hoarseness, coughing or change in voice.


Ear pain and hearing loss.


Unusual bleeding from the nose or mouth area.


Pain in the neck, jaw or face that does not go away.



What are possible complications of head and neck cancer?

Head and neck cancer can lead to a wide range of complications, such as:



Difficulty swallowing, ;


Breathing problems,


Speech and hearing impairments, ;


Vision loss,


Pain and discomfort in the neck or head area, ;


Facial disfigurement due to skin damage or surgery,


Nutritional issues caused by difficulty in eating or digesting food properly, ;


Infection of the surgical wound site,


Frequent and severe nose-bleeds due to increased vascularity of the mucous membranes of the head and neck region.


Head and neck cancers may cause disruption to the nerves providing sensation from the facial area. This can lead to numbness on one side or drooping in part of your face. There are many membrane linings throughout the respiratory tract (such as larynx) that can become damaged by head & neck cancers causing dryness, dysesthesias not only around vocal cords but elsewhere too such as teeth.


The cancer may spread via local lymphatics producing enlarged lymph nodes within the neck making it appear swollen; if present these would increase risk for carotid artery dissection or airway compromise requiring intervention. ;


Head & neck malignancies also increase risk for developing second primary malignancy thus increasing morbidity rate significantly.



Head and neck cancer: risk factors and prevention

Head and neck cancer is caused by certain risk factors such as:



Tobacco products: the most common risk factor for head and neck cancer is the use of tobacco products. People who smoke cigarettes are at a higher risk of developing any type of head and neck cancer compared to non-smokers. People who have used any form of smokeless tobacco products (such as snuff or chewing-tobacco) are at an even higher risk.


Alcohol: heavy alcohol consumption also increases the risk for developing head and neck cancer.


Exposure to certain viruses and chemicals: exposure to certain viruses can also increase one s chances for developing this type of cancer, such as human papilloma virus (hpv). ;


Inflammation: chronic inflammation of the head and neck area caused by environmental toxins may also be linked to an increased chance for having this type of cancer.



The following are the steps that should be taken to prevent head and neck cancer:



Minimize risks: avoiding known risk factors, such as smoking, or managing air pollution may help decrease your exposure to potentially dangerous chemicals or toxins.


Follow a healthy diet: eating a nutritious, balanced diet is important for protecting overall health. Eating foods that are high in nutrients and low in saturated fats, cholesterol, and refined carbohydrates has been linked to a reduced risk of cancer.


Avoid tobacco: avoiding all forms of tobacco including cigarettes, cigar smoking, chewing tobacco, and pipe smoking has been associated with a lower risk of head and neck cancers.


Limit the use of alcohol: excessive consumption of alcohol has been linked to increased chances of developing certain types of head and neck cancers. It is especially important to avoid drinking when using any form of tobacco (cigarettes, cigars, or pipes).


Use natural herbs: you can use some natural herbs such as:





Turmeric powder or basil leaves juice to help reduce the chances for various head or neck cancer developments by inhibiting tumor growth or increasing immunity against cancer cells growths. ;


Lotus root juice made with fresh lotus root can be consumed everyday to improve immunity power.


Neem leaves/mint juice taken on an empty stomach helps protect against cancer activity in the body. ;


Honey mixed with fresh mulethi powder can also be taken daily for better results.





Limit sun exposure: sunburns have been associated with an increase in skin cancer rates over time, so it is important to limit sun exposure by wearing sunscreen regularly each day (even during winter months) when outdoors even if you are not going to be outside for long periods this helps protect from ultraviolet radiation from contributing to any skin cancer development. Consider wearing protective gear such as hats, long sleeve shirts, pants, wide brimmed hats when spending extended time outdoors.


Visit the doctor on a regular basis: regular medical checkups with a healthcare professional should be done in order to identify any precancerous tissue early on before it spreads further into the body which could lead toward more serious health issues down the road if not detected soon enough upon initial onset such as tumors in lymph nodes around one s throat area so getting checked often can help catch potential problems early on.



If none of the above approaches work, you may have to resort to surgical treatments.

What are the surgical treatments for head and neck cancer?

Some common surgical procedures used to treat head and neck cancers are as follows:



Tumor resection: in this procedure, doctors try to remove the entire mass of tumors or parts of a tumor while preserving normal physical structures as much as possible. Other treatments like radiation therapy or chemotherapy may also be implemented following tumor resection.


Neck dissection: this procedure involves removing lymph nodes in the neck region affected byhead and neck cancer. It can either be cursory or radical depending on which neck tissues need to be removed. If a lot of tissue needs to be removed (radical), reconstructive surgery may also be necessary afterwards.


Functional endoscopic sinus surgery: endoscopic sinus surgery is mainly needed for treating cancers located in dug passages of sinuses such as those found in mucosal melanomas or adenoid cystic carcinomas which lead into nose and throat areas from paranasal sinuses (located adjacent to nasal cavities). During this procedure doctors use an endoscope (a thin tube with camera attached) instead of surgical incisions to reach deep into the cavity.


Transoral robotic surgery: newer robot-assisted devices like da vinci surgical system are now being used during head and neck surgeries making it less invasive than traditional open surgeries while providing better accuracy and precision in effectively removing tumors located in hard-to-reach areas in mouth or throat without much collateral damage on nearby healthy tissues. ;



Best doctors to consult for head and neck cancer?



The best doctors to consult for head and neck cancer are oncologists specialized in otolaryngology (ent specialists).


They have the expertise to diagnose and treat this group of cancers, which typically affects the throat, voice box, sinuses and mouth.


Ent specialists may also offer expertise in reconstruction surgery for function or appearance after removal of facial structures due to head and neck cancer.


It is important that patients suffering from this type of cancer seek advice from specifically trained experts who can discuss the risks, side effects, expected outcomes and treatment options.

Hydronephrosis: Causes, Diagnosis, Treatment and Prevention




When there is swelling of one or two kidneys in the body. Inside kidney urine gets collected due to blockage of tubes. Urine stores inside when urine tubes block due to anatomical defect or stones get stuck inside. This can cause infection inside the kidney. The filtered water from the kidney is stopped by it and this whole swelling of the kidney is called hydronephrosis.

At any age this swelling called hydronephrosis can happen. Hydronephrosis is diagnosed when a child is at infancy stage or by prenatal ultrasound done to the baby inside the womb.

;

Usually hydronephrosis do not have any symptoms, however there could be some sign that might tell something about hydronephrosis:

1) there will be pain at the back or side of the lower abdomen. It may sometimes go to the groin and pain will be heavy.

2) there will be signs like burning while urinating, or there will be pain while urinating. There may be a want of urinating but urine passage will be in small amounts.

3) there will be nausea and vomiting whenever there is pain.

4) sometimes there will be fever, not severe but usually happens when there is constant pain.

5) infants thrive much more than adults which can be lacking when there is pain.

;

Causes:

When blood is filtered by kidney urine, it passes from the kidney into a tube known as ureter. From this tube it goes to the bladder where storage of urine happens and then by muscle contraction it goes out of the body. Nevertheless when this urine is stopped from passing down it causes infection and swelling that is where hydronephrosis developed.

Some common causes of hydronephrosis include:



Partial blockage of kidney system: there are two places where blockage happens: 1) there may be blockage at the meeting of kidney and ureter. These types of blockage are more common.



2) there may be blockage at the meeting of the ureter and bladder. These blockages are less type.



Vesicoureteral reflux: usually urine goes one way from kidney to bladder through ureter but sometimes there is backflow of urine from bladder to ureter to kidney. This causes difficulty in passing the urine and the kidney swells and causes hydronephrosis.


Kidney stones in the ureter or in the kidney may block the passage of urine, sometime there is disturbance of the muscle which controls the want to urinate can cause urine to retain and kidney swells up.



Diagnosis:

When we visit a health care provider he/she advises us to go to a doctor who specializes in dealing with the condition of the kidney. These doctors are called urologist and they will do your further diagnosis: ;

There are many tests for diagnosing hydronephrosis. Which are:



A blood test will be taken to know the filtering function of the kidney.


A urine test will be done to know the health of urine whether it is infected or more uric acid is coming through urine or any stones are there.


An ultrasound imaging is done of the kidney and bladder as well as of other structures. By this many majors can be seen. ;


A specialized x-ray of all structures of the urinary system with special dye to see any problem in other areas of systemic problem is due to its structure.


When there is no surety of stones in the kidney or blockage of it by something other, doctors advise to go for ct scan or mri. They are best to see any type of stones in the kidney.



;



Treatment:

;

All though sometimes problems resolve with medicines but sometimes surgery is needed to eliminate the underlying cause. Hydronephrosis can be treated:

1) there are mild to moderate hydronephrosis: where doctors advise you to wait and see that it may resolve by its own or through medicines. Sometime doctors may give antibiotic medicine to reduce the infection caused to kidney in hydronephrosis

2) when there is severe hydronephrosis: it interferes with the function of the kidney. Doctors advised surgery to remove any blockage in the urinary system. Doctors also fix if there is reflux of urine back to the kidney and treat the severe infection. Kidney stones are removed surgically or with laser.

Many times hydronephrosis happens only to one kidney while other ones remain functionable. This hydronephrosis can if left untreated in severe condition it can cause permanent damage to the kidney that is kidney failure.

Prevention:

We should be careful not to take in any food and make sure of our diet. Some more points arelike:



We should not consume food with high salt in it.


Non-veg items like meat and chicken should be avoided or limited.


Seed items should also be checked.


High consumption of protein should be avoided.


Alcohol consumption should be avoided.


Citric fruits should be taken in the diet.


Have an exercise daily.



;



Conclusion:

Hydronephrosis is caused by blockage in the urinary system. Stones are the major cause of it and infection may occur in the urinary system. We should have the right diet and exercise to avoid this. For any query please visit the doctor and if possible use medicines or else surgery to eliminate the blockage.

जानिये हाइड्रोनफ्रोसिस से जुड़ी कई जानकारियां
हमारे शरीर में दिल, गुर्दा, दिमाग की तरह कई तरह के भीतरी अंग होते हैं, जिनका अलग-अलग काम होता है। जब इन्ही अंगों की संरचना में कोई बदलाव आता है या उनके काम करने की क्षमता में कोई कमी आती है तो शरीर में रोग की उत्पत्ति होती है, जो विभिन्न प्रकार से जनजीवन को प्रभावित करता है।

शरीर में ऐसा ही एक अंग है किडनी, जिसका मुख्य कार्य खून को साफ़ करना और पानी व क्षार का संतुलन करके पेशाब का निर्माण करना है। लेकिन किन्ही कारणों से जब पेशाब बाहर नहीं निकल पाता और किडनी में जमा हो जाता है, तो किडनी में सूजन आ जाती है। इस सूजन को हाइड्रोनफ्रोसिस कहा जाता है।

हाइड्रोनफ्रोसिस के प्रकार
चूंकि हमारे शरीर में दो किडनी होती हैं, इसलिए हाइड्रोनफ्रोसिस भी दो तरह का होता है। पहला एकतरफा हाइड्रोनफ्रोसिस जिसका अर्थ है कि पेशाब के जमा होने की वजह से एक किडनी में सूजन आई है। वहीं, अगर पेशाब जमा होने की वजह से दोनों किडनी प्रभावित हुई हैं, तो यह द्विपक्षीय हाइड्रोनफ्रोसिस की श्रेणी में गिना जाएगा।

वैसे तो हाइड्रोनफ्रोसिस होने की कोई उम्र नहीं होती है, लेकिन अगर बच्चों को यह समस्या होती है तो उसका इलाज बचपन में ही किया जा सकता है। इसके अलावा बच्चे के जन्म से पूर्व प्रसवपूर्व अल्ट्रासाउंड के दौरान भी किया जा सकता है।

हाइड्रोनफ्रोसिस के लक्षण
हाइड्रोनफ्रोसिस होने के लक्षण में निम्न कारक शामिल हैं:-

बाजू और पीठ में दर्द जो पेट के निचले हिस्से या कमर तक जा सकता है
मूत्र संबंधी समस्याएं, जैसे कि पेशाब के साथ दर्द या पेशाब करने की तत्काल या बार-बार आवश्यकता महसूस होना
मतली और उल्टी
बुखार
हाइड्रोनफ्रोसिस के कारण
दरअसल, किडनी जिस पेशाब का निर्माण करती है वह एक ट्यूब के माध्यम से मूत्राशय में जाती है। इस ट्यूब को मूत्रवाहिनी कहा जाता है। मूत्राशय से यह पेशाब शरीर से बाहर निकलती है। लेकिन कभी कभी हम किसी काम में व्यस्त रहने की वजह से या अन्य कारणों से पेशाब को बाहर नहीं निकालते, जिसकी वजह से यह मूत्रवाहिनी या किडनी में ही रह जाता है। इसी वजह से हाइड्रोनफ्रोसिस विकसित हो सकता है।

हाइड्रोनफ्रोसिस के कुछ सामान्य कारणों में शामिल हैं:

मूत्र पथ में आंशिक रुकावट: मूत्र पथ की रुकावटें अक्सर वहां बनती हैं जहां गुर्दा मूत्रवाहिनी से मिलता है। इसके अलावा रुकावटें वहां भी हो सकती हैं जहां मूत्रवाहिनी मूत्राशय से मिलती है।
वेसिकुरेटेरल भाटा: वेसिकुरेटेरल भाटा तब होता है जब मूत्र मूत्राशय से मूत्रवाहिनी के माध्यम से किडनी में ऊपर की ओर बहता है। आमतौर पर, मूत्र मूत्रवाहिनी में केवल एक ही तरह से बहता है। गलत तरीके से पेशाब बहने से किडनी को ठीक से खाली होने में मुश्किल होती है और किडनी में सूजन आ जाती है।
हाइड्रोनफ्रोसिस के अन्य कारण: हाइड्रोनफ्रोसिस के होने के अन्य कारणों में किडनी की पथरी, पेट या श्रोणि में ट्यूमर और मूत्राशय की ओर जाने वाली नसों की समस्याएं शामिल हैं।
हाइड्रोनफ्रोसिस का पता लगाने के लिए किए जाने वाले टेस्ट
अगर आपका शरीर हाइड्रोनफ्रोसिस के किसी भी लक्षण से प्रभावित होता है तो आपो तुरंत ऐसे डॉक्टर की सलाह लेनी चाहिए, जो आपकी समस्या के निदान के लिए सभी स्थितियों का पता लगाने में माहिर है। हाइड्रोनफ्रोसिस की जांच के लिए डॉक्टर निम्नलिखित टेस्ट करवा सकते हैं:

किडनी के काम का मूल्यांकन करने के लिए ब्लड टेस्ट
संक्रमण या मूत्र पथरी के संकेतों की जांच के लिए मूत्र परीक्षण जो पेशाब के रुकावट का कारण बन सकता है
एक अल्ट्रासाउंड इमेजिंग परीक्षा, जिसके दौरान आपका डॉक्टर संभावित समस्याओं की पहचान करने के लिए किडनी, मूत्राशय और अन्य मूत्र संरचनाओं को देख सकता है
मूत्र पथ का एक विशेष एक्स-रे जो किडनी, मूत्रवाहिनी, मूत्राशय और मूत्रमार्ग को रेखांकित करने के लिए एक विशेष डाई का उपयोग करता है, पेशाब से पहले और पेशाब के दौरान छवियों को कैप्चर करता है
यदि आवश्यक हो, तो आपका डॉक्टर सीटी स्कैन या एमआरआई जैसी अतिरिक्त इमेजिंग टेस्ट की सिफारिश कर सकता है। इस तरह के टेस्ट को MAG3 स्कैन कहा जाता है जो किडनी में कार्य और जल निकासी का मूल्यांकन करता है।
हाइड्रोनफ्रोसिस का इलाज
हाइड्रोनफ्रोसिस के लिए उपचार उसके होने के पीछे के कारण पर निर्भर करता है। वैसे तो हाइड्रोनफ्रोसिस अक्सर अपने आप ठीक हो जाता है। हालांकि कभी-कभी सर्जरी की भी आवश्यकता पड़ जाती है।

हल्के से मध्यम हाइड्रोनफ्रोसिस: पहले डॉक्टर यह देखने के लिए प्रतीक्षा करता है कि क्या आपका हाइड्रोनफ्रोसिस अपने आप ठीक हो जाता है। हालांकि इस दौरान डॉक्टर मूत्र पथ के संक्रमण के जोखिम को कम करने के लिए निवारक एंटीबायोटिक चिकित्सा की शुरुआत कर सकता है।
गंभीर हाइड्रोनफ्रोसिस: जब हाइड्रोनफ्रोसिस की वजह से किडनी को सही से काम करने में दिक्कत का सामना करना पड़ता है या वेसिकुरेटेरल भाटा की स्थिति पैदा हो जाती है, तो ऐसे मामले में डॉक्टर सर्जरी का विकल्प चुन सकता है। हाइड्रोनफ्रोसिस के कारण को ठीक करने के लिए किडनी की पथरी को तोड़ने और साफ करने के लिए शॉक वेव लिथोट्रिप्सी की जा सकती है।
हाइड्रोनफ्रोसिस को बिना उपचार के छोड़ देना: गंभीर हाइड्रोनफ्रोसिस स्थायी किडनी की क्षति या विफलता का कारण बन सकता है। लेकिन हाइड्रोनफ्रोसिस आमतौर पर केवल एक किडनी को प्रभावित करता है और दूसरा किडनी दोनों के लिए काम कर सकता है।

8 Home Remedies to Naturally Lower Your Creatinine Levels

8 Home Remedies to Naturally Lower Your Creatinine Levels




Creatinine can be best defined as an organic compound that's produced as a waste product when your muscles are used. Apart from that, eating lots of protein can also generate small amounts of creatinine in the body. In other words, creatinine is a muscle waste product that the kidneys are responsible for removing from the body and is found in a person's blood and urine.

As we already know, creatinine is a waste product that's generated from muscle metabolism. It is then transported to your kidneys through the bloodstream, where it can be filtered out and eliminated through your urine. And if your kidneys aren't working properly, creatinine levels in your blood can rise, which can further lead to some serious health issues.

Your doctor or healthcare provider may check your blood and urine for creatinine as part of an evaluation of your kidney health. Furthermore, it should also be noted that the normal level of creatinine in your blood or urine usually depends on a number of factors, including your age, race, gender, and body size. Abnormal creatinine levels in your blood may be an indicator of a kidney disease.

Creatinine levels can also be increased due to a variety of other reasons, including:



Diabetes


Tumors


Infections such as hepatitis b and c, hiv, and syphilis (among others)


Systemic lupus erythematosus, also known as sle or just" lupus"



If high creatinine levels are found through a blood or urine test, the doctor will likely order additional tests to identify the cause.

If you have high creatinine levels in your blood, it's important to seek medical help so that you can create a treatment plan to address any health issues that may be causing damage to your kidney function. Along with your medicines and other treatments, ask your healthcare provider whether the following lifestyle changes are appropriate for you. If you're looking for ways to lower your creatinine levels naturally, here are eight home remedies that might help:

Reduce your intake of protein-rich foods

Studies have shown that consuming large amounts of protein can lead to an increase in creatinine levels, at least temporarily. In particular, cooked red meat can affect creatinine levels. The heat from cooking causes the creatine found in meat to produce creatinine.

People who eat a lot of red meat, dairy, or other protein-rich foods may have higher creatinine levels than those who eat less of these foods. If you eat a lot of red meat, try switching to more vegetable-based dishes. You could swap out your beef burgers for food items such as:



Vegetable patties


Hearty vegetable stew


Lentil soup



Make sure you're not dehydrated

Creatinine levels in the blood can also increase when a person is dehydrated, which can lead to symptoms such as a dry throat, dizziness, and fatigue. If severe, dehydration can put strain on the cardiovascular system and other organs, and in extreme cases, it can even be life-threatening. The best way to prevent or deal with dehydration is by drinking plenty of water or other healthy fluids.

However, for some people with kidney disease, fluid intake can be an issue. So, if that is the case with you as well, be sure to talk with your healthcare provider about how much water and other fluids you should drink daily, as well as the best time to drink them.

Apple cider vinegar is worth giving a try!

According to a study conducted in 2008, kidney stone formation may lead to a very small increase in serum creatinine levels (8). However, apple cider vinegar contains acetic acid, which may actually lower the risk of kidney stone formation.

Apart from that, apple cider vinegar has antimicrobial properties as well. This may help keep bacteria at bay, and it may also help prevent your blood creatinine levels from rising. However, there is a lack of scientific evidence to support these claims, but it is usually safe to consume apple cider vinegar in low or moderate quantities.

Avoid consuming foods with excess salt

Excess amounts of salt in our everyday meals can lead to high blood pressure, especially when consuming processed foods that often contain sodium and phosphorus additives. In recent studies, consuming foods high in these additives has also been linked to increased creatinine levels as well as other renal problems.

So, you must rather focus on eating whole, unprocessed foods and using healthy spices and herbs (rather than excess salt) to flavor your food when possible. By doing this, you will be keeping your kidneys healthy, which will eventually help regulate the creatinine levels in your blood.

Quit smoking without a second thought!

If you are a habitual smoker, you might notice an increase in your creatinine levels. This is a sign that smoking is gradually harming your kidneys, and it may even lead to complete kidney damage. In this case, one of the best things you can do to improve or maintain the health of your kidneys is to quit smoking as soon as possible.

Cigarette smoking is detrimental to one's health and can give rise to a number of health issues, including chronic kidney disease. That said, if you quit smoking, it can help you reduce your risk of developing high creatinine levels and other life-threatening kidney problems.

Avoid consuming too much alcohol (if you do)

Alcohol consumption can have mixed effects when it comes to kidney function. Some studies have suggested that moderate alcohol consumption may help reduce the risk of chronic kidney disease, while other studies have shown that alcohol consumption is associated with a higher risk of developing chronic kidney disease. ;

In other words, it is believed that excessive alcohol consumption can potentially lead to kidney damage, high blood pressure, and alcohol dependency, according to other studies.

All in all, we must understand and acknowledge the fact that too much of anything can be harmful. If you drink alcohol, it's best to consult with your healthcare provider about the safest levels for you specifically. This way, you can avoid any potential health risks associated with drinking.

Have you tried consuming bitter gourd to regulate your creatinine levels?

Bitter gourd is a nutrient-rich vegetable that contains high levels of minerals, vitamins, antioxidants, and fiber. Some people believe that bitter gourd can act as a natural diuretic, helping to improve blood circulation and kidney function. This can further help to regulate your creatinine levels as well.

Bitter gourd juice has many potential health benefits, but it's important not to consume too much. According to a recent study, the tolerable range is 4000 mg/kg. Any amount or dose that exceeds this limit may be nephrotoxic, or harmful to the kidneys.

Drinking chamomile tea can do wonders for your renal health

Chamomile tea has been shown to reduce elevated creatinine levels. To make the tea, you will have to add the chamomile herb (or tea leaves) to a cup of boiling water. Thereafter, you must let it steep for at least 10 to 15 minutes before you finally strain it. You also have the option to add a few drops of honey to your tea for a better or enhanced taste, if desired.

In fact, this tea can be amazing for your overall health! not only does it taste great, but it can also help lower your creatinine levels (as mentioned above). You can drink this great tea three to four times a day, so what's stopping you from giving it a try?

Conclusion:

We hope you enjoyed our article on how to lower creatinine levels naturally. There are many ways to naturally lower creatinine levels, and we hope that this article was able to provide you with some great ideas and inspiration when it comes to things you can start doing today.

क्रिएटिनिन कम करने के 10 घरेलू उपचार
शरीर है जटिल मशीन
हमारा शरीर एक जटिल मशीन की तरह है जिसमें कई तरह के सिस्टम मौजूद हैं। एक रक्त संचार चलता है तो दूसरा शरीर से गंदगी बाहर निकालता है। आज हम शरीर से जहरीले कचरे को खत्म करने के लिए मौजूद तंत्र के बारे में विमर्श करेंगे।

इस तंत्र के विफल होने पर आपको उच्च क्रिएटिनिन लेवल जैसी जटिलताओं का अनुभव हो सकता है। ऐसी समस्या से गंभीर स्वास्थ्य जोखिम हो सकते हैं।

क्या आपको पता है कि उचित क्रिएटिनिन स्तर क्या है और उसे संतुलित क्यों होना चाहिए। तो इस लेख में हम इसी पर चर्चा करेंगे कि क्रिएटिनिन के उच्च स्तर को घरेलू उपचार के माध्यम से आप कैसे संतुलित कर सकते हैं।

सारांश- शरीर एक जटिल मशीन है। इसमें ब्लड सर्कुलेशन के साथ टॉक्सिक निकालने का काम साथ चलता है। जब ये सिस्टम फेल होता है तो शरीर में किएटिनिन जैसा कचरा बढ़ने लगता है।

क्रिएटिनिन क्या है?
क्रिएटिन एक महत्वपूर्ण अणु है जो ऊर्जा के उत्पादन में मदद करता है। आपके शरीर का लगभग 2% क्रिएटिन क्रिएटिनिन में परिवर्तित हो जाता है। यह रक्तप्रवाह के माध्यम से आपके गुर्दे तक पहुँचाया जाता है।

गुर्दे अधिकांश क्रिएटिनिन को फ़िल्टर करते हैं और इसे मूत्र के माध्यम से आपके शरीर से निकाल देते हैं। मूत्र में क्रिएटिनिन का कम होना रक्त में अधिक क्रिएटिनिन का संकेत हो सकता है।

कुछ मामलों में यह चिंता का कारण हो सकता है। शरीर में अधिक क्रिएटिनिन होने से किडनी डैमेज होने का खतरा होता है। इसके अलावा हृदय संबंधी समस्याएं और सांस संबंधी रोग भी हो सकते हैं।

सारांश- किएटिनिन दरअसल क्रिएटिन से बनता है। सामान्य तौर पर गुर्दे किएटिनिन को फिल्टर कर पेशाब के रास्ते निकाल देते हैं। मूत्र में क्रिएटिनिन का कम होना रक्त में अधिक क्रिएटिनिन का खतरनाक संकेत हो सकता है।

घर बैठे कैसे कम करें क्रिएटिनिन
आइए जानते हैं कि कैसे घर बैठे आप कुछ आसान उपाय कर के क्रिएटिनिन के स्तर को कम कर सकते हैं।

सेब का सिरका
गुर्दे की पथरी बनने से सीरम क्रिएटिनिन का स्तर थोड़ा बढ़ सकता है। सेब के सिरके में एसिटिक एसिड होता है, जो किडनी स्टोन बनने के जोखिम को कम कर सकता है ।

इसके रोगाणुरोधी गुण जीवाणु संक्रमण को दूर करने में मदद कर सकते हैं और आपके रक्त में क्रिएटिनिन के स्तर को बढ़ने से रोक सकते हैं।

कैसे करें सेवन
इसके सेवन के लिए एक गिलास गर्म पानी में एक बड़ा चम्मच एप्पल साइडर विनेगर डालें और अच्छी तरह मिलाएँ। इस घोल में थोड़ा सा शहद मिलाएं। इस घोल को रोजाना एक बार पिएं, कोशिश करें कि इसके साथ उच्च कार्बोहाइड्रेट वाला आहार लें।

करेला
करेला विभिन्न खनिजों, विटामिन, एंटीऑक्सिडेंट और फाइबर का एक समृद्ध स्रोत है। शोध बताते हैं कि यह एक प्राकृतिक मूत्रवर्धक के रूप में कार्य कर सकता है, रक्त परिसंचरण में सुधार करता है।

यही नहीं करेला आपके रक्त में क्रिएटिनिन के स्तर को स्वाभाविक रूप से कम करने में मदद करने के लिए आपके गुर्दे को टोन करता है।

कैसे करें सेवन
दिन में एक बार आधा कप करेले का जूस पिएं। हालांकि करेले या इसके जूस का अधिक मात्रा में सेवन न करें।

दालचीनी
दालचीनी को प्राकृतिक मूत्रवर्धक माना जाता है। कुछ का मानना है कि यह किडनी की फिल्ट्रेशन क्षमताओं में भी सुधार कर सकती है। दालचीनी शरीर के क्रिएटिनिन स्तर को नियंत्रित करती है।

कैसे करें सेवन
गर्म पानी या भोजन में आधा चम्मच दालचीनी मिलाएं और दिन में एक बार इसका सेवन करें।

कैमोमाइल चाय
कैमोमाइल चाय का सेवन उच्च क्रिएटिनिन स्तर को कम कर सकता है ।

कैसे करें सेवन
एक कप गर्म पानी में कैमोमाइल हर्ब डालें। इसे कम से कम 10 मिनट तक भीगने दें। अब इसे छान लें और थोड़ा सा शहद मिला लें। आप दिन में 3 से 4 बार कैमोमाइल चाय का सेवन कर सकते हैं।

ग्रीन टी
ग्रीन टी एक प्राकृतिक एंटीऑक्सीडेंट है और इसमें मूत्रवर्धक गुण होते हैं। ग्रीन टी की मूत्रवर्धक प्रकृति आपके गुर्दे की फिल्ट्रेशन क्षमता में सुधार करने और मूत्र उत्पादन को बढ़ाने में मदद कर सकती है। इससे क्रिएटिनिन का स्तर कम होता है।

कैसे करें सेवन
लगभग 10 मिनट के लिए एक कप गर्म पानी में ग्रीन टी बैग को डुबो कर रखें। इसे कुछ देर के लिए ठंडा होने दें और इसमें थोड़ा सा शहद मिलाएं। आप दिन में 2 से 3 बार ग्रीन टी पी सकते हैं।

लहसुन
लहसुन एक प्राकृतिक एंटीऑक्सीडेंट है और मूत्रवर्धक के रूप में भी काम करता है। यह आपके शरीर से जहरीले कचरे को बाहर निकालने में मदद करता है। साथ ही यह रक्त में क्रिएटिनिन के स्तर को कम करने में मदद कर सकता है।

लहसुन प्लाज्मा आयरन के स्तर को भी बढ़ाता है और हीमोग्लोबिन के स्तर में सुधार करता है।

कैसे करें सेवन
आप 4 से 5 लहसुन की कली रोज़ चबा सकते हैं या आप अपने सलाद और अन्य खाद्य पदार्थों में कटे हुए लहसुन डाल सकते हैं। ऐसा आपको रोजाना 1 से 2 बार करना है।

अदरक
अदरक में फ्लेवोनोइड्स और इथेनॉल होते हैं जो एंटीऑक्सिडेंट और एंटी-इंफ्लेमेटरी गुणों को प्रदर्शित करते हैं, जो आपके गुर्दे को क्षति और चोट से बचाने में मदद कर सकते हैं।

अदरक आपके शरीर में क्रिएटिनिन के स्तर को कम कर सकते हैं।

कैसे करें सेवन

Kidney Disease Signs: Is Frequent Urination Is One Of Them?

MBBS

Kidney Disease Signs: Is Frequent Urination Is One Of Them?
Most people have a bladder that can store urine until it is convenient to go to the toilet typically 4-8 times a day. Needing to rush to the bathroom more than 8 times a day or waking up in the middle of the night could mean you have been drinking too much fluid before going to bed. Technically, this condition is known as frequent urination.

However, frequent urination does not always happen when you drink up gallons of water. If you feel the urge to urinate frequently, especially at night, it could be a sign of a kidney disorder.

What causes you to urinate frequently?

When the filters in your kidney are damaged, your urge to urinate increases. Sometimes, this may signify an ;enlarged prostate or an ;infection in the urinary tract.



Urinary tract infections ;the bladder and the tube carrying urine from it and out of your body (urethra lining) becomes irritated and inflamed due to by-products of an infection. This urges you to empty your bladder more often. However, the amount of urine discharged decreases with every trip you make to the loo.


Enlarged prostate  an enlarged prostate presses against the urethra and obstructs urine flow. This causes the walls of the bladder to become inflamed. The bladder shrinks even when it consists of a tiny amount of urine, leading to frequent urination.



Other types of kidney disorders that may cause you to urinate frequently are



Anterior prolapse


Bladder stones


Interstitial cystitis


Urethral stricture



Signs indicating a kidney disease

Frequent urination resulting from a damaged kidney is often accompanied by other symptoms such as



Abdominal discomfort and pain


Losing control of your bladder


The unusual colour of the urine


Difficulty urinating tiny droplets oozing out



Many of the kidney diseases mentioned above could be serious. Therefore, it is imperative that you discuss the symptoms with your doctor and seek appropriate treatment to manage the condition.

Pancreatic Cancer Facts That You May Want To Know

MBBS
General Physician, Fatehabad
Pancreatic Cancer Facts That You May Want To Know
Pancreatic cancer, this type of cancer ;originates in the pancreas, the organ that lies behind the lower portion of your stomach. Abnormal cells start to grow and divide to form tumours. Over time, the disease may spread to other parts or organs of the body, making it hard to treat.

Knowing all about pancreatic cancer will give you an idea of the signs and risks of the disease. Here are a few facts you probably never knew about this grave illness:



Cancer of the pancreas ranks twelfth in the list of most common cancers across the world


Pancreatic cancer is the seventh most common cause of death worldwide


Pancreatic cancer affects women and men alike


The more you age, the more you are at risk of developing pancreatic cancer. About 90% of people living with this type of cancer are over 55 years of age. The average age of patients is 72 years when the cancer is detected


People who are in the habit of ;smoking regularly for a long period are prone to pancreatic cancer. Studies claim that at least three out of ten such cases are caused by smoking and tobacco use.


Lack of physical activity and ;obesity are the most common factors that put you at risk of pancreatic cancer


Pancreatic cancer signs can be vague, depending on the site of occurrence of the tumour whether it is present in the tail, body, or head of the pancreas


Pancreatic cancer symptoms include yellowing of the eyes and skin (like in the case of jaundice), abdominal pain, fatigue, digestive problems, and unexplained weight loss.


Physical examination, as well as imaging tests like mri and ct scans, are used to diagnose the ailment


Among all types of cancer, pancreatic cancer has the lowest rate of survival only 3-6% of people diagnosed early survive for about five years


Studies show that keeping your body weight in check and abstaining from alcohol and smoking reduces one s risk of developing cancer of the pancreas


Usually, this type of cancer is diagnosed in the later stages with about 80% of the patients having a terminal illness with an average life expectancy of 4-6 months


Although the rate of survival for other forms of cancer may have improved over the years, the same cannot be said about pancreatic cancer



Pancreatic cancer is an aggressive and fatal form of cancer. It often spreads without revealing symptoms, which makes diagnosis difficult. However, if detected early, there are ways to treat the disease.

Treatment of pancreatic cancer mainly involves chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgery. Which line of treatment would suit your condition best, depends on your health, the prognosis of the disease, and your doctor s opinion.

Warning Sings Of Kidney Rupturing

MBBS
General Physician, Fatehabad
Warning Sings Of Kidney Rupturing
Kidney rupture is usually caused by a traumatic injury or direct blow to the front or sides of the abdomen, or low-to-mid back that tears or damages the organ. This type of injury is usually common in sports activities such as rugby, football, gymnastics, boxing, and horseback riding.

Renal failure or kidney rupture occurs when the kidneys stop functioning suddenly. The organ is no longer able to eliminate waste products and maintain a balance between the salt, water, and electrolytes in the blood. As a result, the wastes and fluids start accumulating in your body, ultimately leading to a ruptured kidney.

What could possibly cause a kidney to rupture?

A kidney rupture or injury can result from any of the following reasons -



Low intake of fluid


Exertion or trauma


Loss of blood/transfusion


Exposure to harmful substances


Exposure to heavy metals or mercury vapours


Nephrotoxic drug ingestion



Symptoms to watch out for

If you suspect a kidney rupture, you should look out for the following symptoms -



Blood in the urine, commonly known as hematuria


Mild to severe pain in the right or left abdomen


Pain in the lower back


Muscle guarding


Fever


Abdominal pain, ;swelling and ;bruising


A decrease in the flow of urine


Internal bleeding ;signs - dizziness, decreased alertness, blurred vision, fatigue, vomiting, nausea, low blood pressure



The symptoms, if ignored for too long, can be fatal in the long run. Once you identify the signs of kidney rupture, do not hesitate to get yourself diagnosed for the same. Early diagnosis and treatment can help manage the symptoms and help you live a healthier life.
