Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Yang Ziqi
The nursing care measures for renal contusion mainly include the following points:
1. Bed rest: The patient should remain strictly in bed and avoid any activities that may cause further kidney damage, to reduce physical activity, lower blood pressure, thus alleviating the burden on the kidneys and promoting healing.
2. Dietary adjustment: Follow medical advice to adjust diet after surgery, such as limiting protein intake and drinking an appropriate amount of water, to control edema and prevent complications.
3. Urine observation: Closely monitor the color, volume, and characteristics of urine, record and report to the doctor daily for timely detection of kidney function problems.
4. Skin care: The patient should preferably lie on an air mattress, keep the skin clean and dry to prevent pressure ulcers.
5. Psychological support: Alleviate the patient's anxiety and nervousness, and help build confidence to overcome the disease.
