Radioactive Radiation Dangers For Body

9 Richter scale earthquake that shook Japan on Friday last week, raising the threat of nuclear holocaust with the radiation levels are very high radioactivity around nuclear Dai-ichi, Fukushima Prefecture. The threat came after the earthquake to blow up a number of nuclear reactors at the plant.

"The fan, air conditioning, and all electronic devices that can bring in air into the house must also be turned off," said one health expert, Dr. Richard Besser, as quoted from the pages of ABC News.

Besser said, exposure to radiation from a nuclear reactor explosion generally have levels that endanger human health. This is evident from the case in Fukushima that produce radiation exposure reached 1,000 millisieverts per hour, on Wednesday morning, local time. Levels were 10 times the safe limit.

Exposure to high levels of radiation can trigger acute radiation syndrome (ARS). This syndrome is characterized by nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and skin damage, only a few hours after exposure to high levels of radiation.

In the long run, it will trigger the exposure of bone marrow damage, internal bleeding, cancer, and other infections. In the worst condition, the patient will die within a few months after exposure to radiation.

Besser said nearly all the human body contains elements of radiation. However, within safe limits. About 80 percent are exposed to radiation from natural elements such as uranium, thorium, radium, contained in the soil.

While 20 percent of radiation exposure from manmade sources, such as pengguaan X-rays for therapeutic treatment. In addition to medical devices, radiation elements are also commonly exposed through a number of electronic devices such as lat heaters, lamps, or microwave. "But the levels are generally still safe for human health," Besser said.

Trigger Chronic Kidney Disease Hypertension

Maintaining kidney health is as important as keeping other vital organs, like heart and lungs. Therefore, maintaining healthy kidneys was also able to save the heart to stay healthy.

Need to watch out, now the problem of chronic kidney disease (CKD) can be a deadly disease, because people with CKD have a risk of heart disease three times higher, and nearly 50 percent of people with CKD die of cardiovascular disease.

"The incidence of CKD are now rising 10-13 percent of the population in many countries and millions of kidney patients currently on the verge of death," said POF. Dr. dr Suhardjono, SpPD-KGH, Kger of Nephrology Association of Indonesia (Pernefri) when the event Rally PT Pfizer Media, 'Protect Your Kidneys, Save Your Heart', Monday, March 21, 2011.

Chronic kidney disease is a condition suffered kidney structural abnormalities or dysfunction that has lasted more than 3 months. The main cause could be due to diabetes and hypertension, which can also cause cardiac complications in patients with CKD. For that, controlling blood pressure is very important for patients with chronic kidney disease.

Early stage CKD patients also have 5-10 times the risk of heart problems died of events. "Like there is a time bomb in the body, chronic kidney patients can die anytime," he said.

Careful, with age, hypertension problems that became one of the many causes of CKD experienced by those with age above 55 years. Those with the age of 55 years and over 50 percent risk of suffering from hypertension.

Not only that, for those who have a family history of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, stroke and urinary tract stones, could be at higher risk of CKD. To prevent this, do the medical check-ups regularly reach above the age of 40 years.

Dr. Dharmeizar, Sp.PD-KGH from RSCM adding a routine medical examination should be done as early detection of chronic kidney disease. Perform simple laboratory examinations ranging from a complete urine examination, urea and creatinine, blood sugar, cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and triglycerides can be an inexpensive initial examination to prevent it.

"If the current check-up found the protein in the urine, further investigation is needed, because this could be a sign of CKD, especially if the presence of protein in the urine settled within three months," Dr. Dharmeizar explained.

This disease can be treated as long as it is detected early. Patients who have decreased kidney function need to undergo treatment. This treatment is necessary to prevent further damage kidney function and attempt to preserve remaining kidney function as long as possible before ending at the end stage renal failure requiring dialysis or kidney transplantation.

In addition, by treating kidney disease, it is expected to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.

"Because CKD is progressive (gets worse), then prevention is better than cure, because for patients who require dialysis, the cost could reach Rp 60-100 million per person in one year.
