Not only kidney dialysis and endocrine disorders? Study: Chronic kidney disease increases risk of "3 cancers"
According to reports, Taiwan’s kidney disease population is “the highest in the world” and its nearly 100,000 people on kidney dialysis are also the world’s largest. The kidneys are responsible for excreting waste, secreting hormones, maintaining electrolytes in the body, regulating blood pressure and other important functions. If the dangers caused by related diseases are ignored, the consequences may be disastrous. A study published in the American Journal of Kidney Diseases (AJKD) pointed out that people with kidney disease have a higher risk of “cancer”, among which the incidence of “three types of cancer” is the most significant.
Does chronic kidney disease increase cancer risk? Study says these “3 types of cancer” are the most common
A research team from Canada tracked the kidney health of an estimated 29 million Ontario residents through their glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) data. The normal glomerular filtration rate is 120 ml/min/1.73㎡, and the subjects were further subdivided into 5 groups based on the glomerular filtration rate: more than 60, 45-59, 30-44, 15-29, and less than 15ml/min/1.73㎡.
The results showed that subjects with glomerular filtration rate index in groups 2, 3, and 4 (ie, patients with mild to moderately severe kidney disease) had a significantly increased chance of developing cancer and cancer mortality in the future. In addition, people who have previously received a kidney transplant may also have a higher risk of cancer. The study pointed out that “bladder cancer”, “kidney cancer” and “multiple myeloma” are one of the three most common types of cancer among subjects.
Research statistics pointed out that among the follow-up records of nearly 29 million subjects, 325,895 cases of cancer were diagnosed, with the incidence rate ranging from 10.8% to 15.3%. The results showed that subjects with a background of chronic kidney disease had a higher risk of being diagnosed with cancer than healthy controls, but there was no significant association in advanced cancer.
Are the “three highs” the culprits of chronic kidney disease? 8 rules to ensure the “kidney benefit” formula
Chronic kidney disease is related to the common “three highs” diseases, among which “hypertension” has a greater impact. The Taiwan Ministry of Health and Welfare, Health Promotion Administration once analyzed the prevalence of kidney disease in Taiwanese people over 19 years old and found that those with high blood pressure are 3.8 times higher than those without high blood pressure, and those with high blood sugar and high blood lipids are 2.6 times and 4.6 times higher respectively. times, showing that three high-risk diseases may double the risk of chronic kidney disease.
Good control of blood sugar, blood pressure and blood lipids is the foundation for preventing and treating early chronic kidney disease. To this end, the Taiwan Health Promotion Administration further proposed the “Eight Golden Rules”, which are three high control, healthy diet, regular exercise, weight control, avoiding inappropriate drugs, drinking more water, not smoking and regularly checking kidney function. The public should pay attention to kidney health as early as possible and be alert to related symptoms.
The Taiwan Health Promotion Administration also calls on those who suffer from chronic kidney disease to actively cooperate with the medical team and adopt a three-pronged formal treatment of “drugs, diet, and exercise” to control blood sugar and blood pressure within the ideal range. In general, paying attention to your own health and actively preventing the occurrence of kidney disease is the best answer to avoid dialysis treatment.
