Healthy Tips When Fasting: Properly Maintaining Kidney Health<\/a><\/h3>
Puasa adalah bagian penting dari praktik keagamaan bagi banyak orang di seluruh dunia. Namun saat berpuasa, penting untuk memperhatikan kesehatan tubuh, termasuk kesehatan ginjal. Ginjal mempunyai peranan yang sangat penting dalam membersihkan darah dari zat-zat beracun dan menjaga keseimbangan cairan dalam tubuh. Oleh karena itu, menjaga kesehatan ginjal saat berpuasa sangatlah penting. \n\n \n\n Peran Penting Ginjal Saat Puasa \n\n Ginjal bertanggung jawab untuk menyaring darah dan membuang limbah melalui urin. Selama berpuasa, tubuh akan beradaptasi dengan perubahan pola makan dan mungkin mengalami perubahan volume dan komposisi cairan. Hal ini dapat mempengaruhi fungsi ginjal dan menimbulkan risiko gangguan kesehatan jika tidak dikelola dengan baik. \n\n \n\n Tips Menjaga Kesehatan Ginjal \n\n \n Konsumsi Cairan yang Cukup: Salah satu aspek penting dalam menjaga kesehatan ginjal adalah memastikan tubuh tetap terhidrasi dengan baik. Selama berpuasa, pastikan minum air putih yang cukup saat berbuka dan sahur. Hindari minuman bersoda atau berkafein yang dapat meningkatkan risiko dehidrasi. \n Pilihan Makanan Sehat: Pilihlah makanan yang seimbang dan bergizi saat berbuka puasa dan sahur. Perbanyak konsumsi buah, sayur, dan biji-bijian yang kaya serat, vitamin, dan mineral. Hindari makanan yang tinggi garam, lemak jenuh dan tambahan gula yang dapat mempengaruhi kesehatan ginjal. \n Kurangi Konsumsi Garam: Garam dapat meningkatkan tekanan darah dan mempengaruhi keseimbangan elektrolit dalam tubuh, sehingga dapat membebani ginjal. Usahakan untuk mengurangi konsumsi garam saat berpuasa dengan menghindari makanan yang banyak mengandung garam dan mengurangi penggunaan garam tambahan dalam masakan. \n Perhatikan Asupan Protein: Konsumsilah protein dalam jumlah seimbang. Protein merupakan bagian penting dari pola makan sehat, namun konsumsi protein berlebihan dapat meningkatkan beban kerja pada ginjal. Pilih sumber protein rendah lemak seperti ikan, daging tanpa lemak, atau tahu. \n \n\n \n\n Menurut Kementerian Kesehatan Republik Indonesia (Kemenkes), menjaga kesehatan ginjal saat berpuasa sangatlah penting. Mereka menyarankan untuk menjaga pola makan sehat, rutin berolahraga, dan memperhatikan konsumsi cairan agar tetap terhidrasi dengan baik. \n\n \n\n Kesimpulan \n\n Puasa adalah waktu yang tepat untuk merenungkan dan meningkatkan kesehatan secara keseluruhan. Dengan memperhatikan kesehatan ginjal dan menerapkan tips sehat saat berpuasa, kita bisa menjaga keseimbangan tubuh dan tetap bugar selama bulan suci ini. Ingatlah untuk selalu berkonsultasi dengan ahli medis jika Anda mengalami masalah kesehatan serius atau memerlukan nasihat khusus terkait kesehatan ginjal. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Rainy Season, Beware of Leptospirosis Disease<\/a><\/h3>
The rainy season, often accompanied by floods, can bring health risks that need to be cautious, one of which is leptospirosis disease. Leptospirosis is a bacterial infection disease that can be transmitted by water contaminated with the urine of infected animals. This condition can spread rapidly in humid environments, making the rainy season a more potential time for its transmission. \n\n What is Leptospirosis? \n\n Leptospirosis can cause mild to severe symptoms, including fever, headache, nausea, and muscle pain. In more serious cases, this disease can lead to kidney, liver problems, or even organ failure. Therefore, maintaining cleanliness and vigilance during the rainy season is crucial. \n\n Symptoms of Leptospirosis Disease \n\n Leptospirosis can cause various symptoms, ranging from mild to severe. The symptoms of this disease can appear in two different phases: \n\n Early Phase (Acute Phase) \n\n \n \n High Fever: Significant body temperature increase is a common symptom of leptospirosis in the early phase. \n \n \n Muscle and Joint Pain: You may experience muscle and joint pain that can make daily activities uncomfortable. \n \n \n Headache: This symptom often accompanies the early phase of the disease. \n \n \n Nausea and Vomiting: Some people with leptospirosis may experience nausea and vomiting. \n \n \n Red Eyes (Conjunctivitis): Infection can cause redness in the eyes and inflammation of the conjunctiva. \n \n \n\n Advanced Phase (Weil's Phase) \n\n If the disease is left untreated, or if the condition worsens, more serious symptoms may appear, including: \n\n \n \n Kidney Function Disorder: Leptospirosis can cause kidney function disorders that can result in bloody urine and decreased urine production. \n \n \n Jaundice (Yellowing): Yellowing of the skin and eyes due to liver problems and bilirubin production disorders. \n \n \n Bleeding: Leptospirosis can cause bleeding in various parts of the body, such as the skin and mucous membranes. \n \n \n Respiratory Disturbance: Difficulty breathing and coughing can occur in some severe cases. \n \n \n\n It is important to remember that the symptoms of leptospirosis can vary from mild to severe, and some people may not show any symptoms at all. \n\n 4 Steps to Prevent Leptospirosis Disease \n\n \n \n Avoid Contaminated Water: Stay away from stagnant water, ditches, or rivers that may be contaminated by animal urine, especially rodents like rats. \n \n \n Use Protective Equipment: When working in potentially contaminated areas, wear closed footwear, gloves, and protective clothing. \n \n \n Clean Thoroughly: Make sure to clean yourself thoroughly after being outdoors, especially if exposed to rainwater or suspicious puddles. \n \n \n Maintain Environmental Cleanliness: Keep the area around the house clean, including ensuring there are no places that can become nests for rats or other rodents. \n \n \n\n Conclusion \n\n If you experience symptoms such as fever, headache, or muscle pain during or after the rainy season, consult a doctor immediately. Hermina Podomoro Hospital provides services from specialist doctors in handling various infectious diseases, including leptospirosis. \n\n Health is priceless, and preventive actions can protect you and your family from the risk of disease. Do not hesitate to seek medical help if needed. Together, we can maintain health and face the rainy season more calmly. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Do you often feel tired and lethargic and suddenly lose weight for no reason? | Be careful, you could experience metabolic disorders!<\/a><\/h3>
Understanding Metabolic Disorders \n\n Metabolic disorders are abnormalities in the body's metabolic processes. Metabolism is the process by which the body needs to produce energy from the food it takes in. Food contains protein, carbohydrates, and fat. Chemicals found in the digestive system are able to break down these foods into energy for the body. This energy can be used directly or stored in several body tissues. Metabolic disorders can occur when there are abnormal chemical reactions in the body related to this process. This disorder can cause a person to have too much or too little of various substances needed to stay healthy. There are many metabolic disorders, including effects on the breakdown of amino acids, carbohydrates, and lipids. \n\n This disorder generally occurs due to genetic abnormalities resulting in metabolic abnormalities. That way, enzymes that play a role in cell metabolic processes are lost or damaged. Apart from that, it can also be caused by non-genetic disorders such as food, toxins, infections, etc. \n\n Causes of Metabolic Disorders \n\n Metabolism is a complex process in the body. Therefore, there is a high chance of experiencing problems, including metabolic disorders. There are several things that can cause this disease, such as: \n\n \n Genetics: Genes are known to influence metabolic processes in many ways. \n Organ dysfunction: disorders of organs involved in metabolic processes. \n \n\n However, it is not always clear what causes this disorder. For example, type 1 diabetes mellitus is caused by an autoimmune disease, so that the body's immune cells attack the pancreas. However, the cause of this autoimmune disorder is still uncertain. In addition, genetic disorders can cause problems with the function of enzymes that are important in metabolism. That way, toxins in the bloodstream continue to accumulate because they are difficult to get rid of. This can also cause metabolic disorders. \n\n Risk Factors for Metabolic Disorders \n\n You also need to know that there are several factors that can increase a person's risk of experiencing this disorder, such as: \n\n \n Age: The risk of this disease increases with age. \n \n Obesity: A person with excess weight, especially in the abdomen, has a higher risk of metabolic disorders. \n \n \n Having diabetes: Someone who has diabetes while pregnant or has a family history of type 2 diabetes also has a higher risk. \n \n \n Other diseases: Some diseases can increase the risk of this disorder, such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, polycystic ovary syndrome, or sleep apnea. \n \n \n\n Symptoms of Metabolic Disorders \n\n This metabolic-related disorder can cause different symptoms for each sufferer. The symptoms of this metabolic disorder depend on the type experienced. Some common symptoms, such as: \n\n \n Pain in the stomach. \n Tired and lethargic. \n Weight reduce. \n Vomit. \n Low appetite. \n Abnormal smell of sweat, saliva,urine,e or breath. \n Delay in physical development. \n Failure to gain weight or grow. \n Jaundice. \n Convulsions. \n Coma. \n \n\n Symptoms can occur suddenly or develop slowly. Apart from that, symptoms can also arise due to food, drugs, dehydration, or other factors. In babies, symptoms can appear several weeks after birth. Meanwhile, in congenital metabolic disorders, the symptoms may take years to develop. \n\n Diagnosis of Metabolic Disorders \n\n To diagnose a metabolic disorder, the doctor will ask about symptoms and check your medical and family history. The doctor will look for genetic factors that can cause this disease. After that, the doctor will perform several different medical tests to identify the problem, including blood tests. Some disorders may be more difficult for doctors to diagnose. \n\n In babies born with symptoms of metabolic disorders, routine screening tests are needed to diagnose the cause. If this disorder is not detected at birth, it will be difficult to diagnose it until symptoms appear. \n\n Treatment of Metabolic Disorders \n\n \n\n Most types of this disorder cannot be cured and can only be treated in a limited way. Sufferers need to apply several principles related to managing metabolic disorders, such as: \n\n \n Reducing or eliminating food or drug intake that the body cannot process normally. \n Removes toxic substances that the body fails to remove. \n Replacing enzymes or other chemicals that are missing or inactive so that metabolism can approach normal. \n \n\n Medication consumption is also needed to fulfill several things in the body, such as insulin. Medication can also be taken to control certain symptoms, make a person feel better, and avoid life-threatening emergencies. \n\n Meanwhile, treatment measures can include: \n\n \n Taking enzyme replacement supplements to help the metabolic process. \n Removing harmful substances resulting from metabolism from the blood using certain chemicals. \n \n A special diet that eliminates certain types of nutrients that the body cannot absorb properly. \n \n \n\n A person with a metabolic disorder with severe symptoms should generally be treated in the hospital. Apart from that, sufferers also need life support equipment. In this case, emergency treatment and improving organ function will be the doctor's main focus. \n\n Complications of Metabolic Disorders \n\n There are several complications that can occur in people with metabolic disorders, such as: \n\n \n Type 2 diabetes. \n \n\n This disorder occurs when there are no lifestyle changes to control excess weight. This can develop insulin resistance, so that sugar levels rise. Eventually, type 2 diabetes occurs. \n\n \n Heart and blood vessel disease. \n \n\n Plaque buildup in the arteries can cause cholesterol and blood pressure to increase. If left untreated, you can experience a heart attack or stroke. \n\n \n Kidney illness. \n \n\n Decreased kidney function or kidney leakage can be caused by metabolic disorders. \n\n \n Liver Disease. \n \n\n Diseases due to disorders of carbohydrate and fat metabolism can cause fatty livers. \n\n Prevention of Metabolic Disorders \n\n There are several efforts that can be made to prevent metabolic disorders, such as: \n\n \n Avoid consuming foods that are difficult for the body to process normally. \n Replace enzymes that are lost from the body by consuming supplements that replace these enzymes, so that metabolic processes can improve. \n Do a special diet, which can be consulted with a doctor or nutritionist first. \n Maintain an ideal body weight. \n Eat healthy foods, such as vegetables and fruit. \n Make sure to stay physically active. \n Consume more water than drinks containing sugar. \n \n\n When should you see a doctor? \n\n Consult a doctor if you experience symptoms of metabolic disorders, as mentioned above. Have your baby or child checked by a pediatrician regularly. This is important for monitoring growth and development as well as for the early detection of any abnormalities that he may experience. The examination can be carried out at the same time as the child's immunization schedule. \n\n If you experience symptoms or complaints like those above, you should immediately discuss them with your doctor. Proper and immediate treatment can reduce the negative impacts of this condition. For this reason, immediately visit Hermina Pasteur Hospital. \n\n \n\n Made by: Dr. Tri Sasangka Putra \n\n Reviewed by: Dr. Affan Ahmadi, Sp.PD, M.Kes, FINASIM \n\n \n\n Reference: \n\n National Institute of Health (2021).

Understanding Gastritis (Ulcer) : Causes, Symptoms, & How to Manage Your Gastric Health<\/a><\/h3>
Gastritis is a common condition that involves inflammation of the stomach wall . Knowing the causes, symptoms, and ways to manage gastritis can help you better maintain your stomach health. The following is information collected from various trusted sources, including the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia (Kemenkes). \n\n \n\n Gastritis is divided into two types, namely chronic and acute gastritis. Acute gastritis occurs when inflammation of the stomach lining occurs suddenly, causing severe pain in the pit of the stomach that is temporary. However, if not treated immediately, acute gastritis can progress to chronic. \n\n \n\n Causes of Gastritis \n\n Gastritis can be caused by various factors. One of the main causes identified by the Ministry of Health is Helicobacter pylori bacterial infection . This bacteria can cause inflammation of the stomach wall and can be found in individuals who experience gastritis. In addition, consuming non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as aspirin or ibuprofen in high doses and over a long period of time, can also damage the stomach lining and cause gastritis. \n\n \n\n Gastritis Symptoms \n\n Gastritis symptoms can vary from mild to severe. According to the Ministry of Health, some common symptoms include abdominal pain, especially in the upper part, a burning sensation in the chest, nausea, vomiting and flatulence. These symptoms may worsen after eating or drinking. \n\n \n\n Diagnosis and Treatment \n\n If you experience symptoms of gastritis, consult a doctor immediately. Diagnosis usually involves a physical examination, medical history, and possibly additional tests such as endoscopy or blood tests to detect H. pylori infection. Treatment may include antibiotics to treat bacterial infections, antiacid drugs, or acid blocking drugs. \n\n \n\n How to Manage Your Gastric Health \n\n \n Healthy Diet: Avoid spicy, sour and fatty foods. Choose foods that are easy to digest and high in fiber. Eating small portions frequently can help reduce pressure on the stomach. \n Avoid Excessive Use of NSAIDs: If you need anti-inflammatory drugs, consult a doctor to choose the right dosage and monitor the effects on the stomach. \n Manage Stress: Stress can worsen gastritis symptoms. Find ways to manage stress such as through exercise, meditation, or enjoyable activities. \n Consult a Doctor Regularly: If you have a history of gastritis or persistent symptoms, regularly consult a doctor for proper monitoring and treatment. \n \n\n \n\n Through a thorough understanding of the causes, symptoms, and management of gastritis, you can take preventive steps to keep your stomach healthy. Stay in touch with a health professional for guidance appropriate to your individual health condition. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Get to know the Mysterious Hepatitis Disease That Affects Children<\/a><\/h3>
The Beginning of Mysterious Hepatitis Cases \n\n The first case of Mysterious Hepatitis was discovered on 5 April 2022 in the United Kingdom. On April 15, 2022 WHO declared Mysterious Hepatitis as an Extraordinary Event (KLB). Then on April 16-30, suspected cases of acute hepatitis in children were found in Indonesia. Three Indonesian children died of suspected acute hepatitis of unknown cause. This Mysterious Hepatitis Disease attacks children aged one month to 16 years and most commonly attacks under 10 years of age. \n\n Mysterious Hepatitis Classification \n\n To facilitate mitigation, tracking, and evaluation, the Ministry of Health compiled a case definition, so that every Health Facility that found a possible Mysterious Acute Hepatitis case could explain it clearly. Quoted from the website of the DKI Jakarta Provincial Health Office, the classification of Mysterious Hepatitis is divided into six categories as follows; \n\n \n Confirmed: Not yet available at this time, because it is not clear what causes Acute Hepatitis to arise. \n Suspect : Possible exposure to Acute Hepatitis (but not one of Hepatitis A-E). then the amount of SGOT or SGPT > 100 IU/L. The suspect is <16 years old and is included in the case criteria set, namely as of October 1, 2021 until now. \n Probable: Possible exposure to Acute Hepatitis (but not one of Hepatitis A-E). the number of SGOT or SGPT > 500IU/L, aged < 16 years, and included in the established case criteria, namely as of October 1, 2021 until now. \n Epi-Linked : A person who is likely to be exposed to Acute Hepatitis (but not one of Hepatitis A-E) of any age who is a close contact of a probable case since October 1, 2021. \n Pending Classification: That is, the suspect falls into the probable criteria with the amount of SGOT or SGPT > 500 IU/L, but is still waiting for serology results from Hepatitis A, B, C, E. \n Discarded: If one of the Serology results for Hepatitis A, B, C, E turns out to be positive or there is another etiology. \n \n\n Mysterious Hepatitis Causes \n\n Possible causes according to the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA): \n\n 1.Medicine \n\n 2. Exposure to toxins or environmental factors \n\n 3.New adenovirus variant \n\n 4.Increased susceptibility to normal adenovirus infection due to lockdown \n\n 5. A new variant that causes Covid-19 (SARS-CoV-2) \n\n \n Signs and Symptoms of Mysterious Hepatitis \n Dark urine \n Pale or gray stools \n Itchy skin \n Jaundice or yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes \n Muscle and joint pain \n High fever \n Nausea \n Feeling tired all the time \n Loss of appetite \n Stomach pain \n Increased liver enzymes (SGOT/SGPT), up to 500 u/L \n \n\n How to Prevent Mysterious Hepatitis \n\n Because hepatitis is mysterious, the symptoms attack the gastrointestinal tract so that for prevention we can do easy things, including: \n\n 1.Washing hands with soap \n\n 2. Consume clean and cooked food \n\n 3. You should not change eating utensils with other people \n\n 4. Avoid contact with patients / sufferers who experience symptoms of acute hepatitis \n\n 5. Implementing Covid-19 prokes discipline: wearing masks, maintaining distance, washing hands \n\n \n\n If symptoms of Mysterious Hepatitis appear, immediately take them to the nearest health facility for further examination of liver function such as SGOT and SGPT. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Is it simple to get sick? Beware of signs of weak immunity<\/a><\/h3>
To Hermina's friend, signs of weak immunity are important to know. The reason is that people who have a weak immune system may be more susceptible to infections with severe symptoms. \n\n "Immune" is a shield for the body against viruses, bacteria, free radicals, and other harmful compounds to stay active and healthy. It was not created without a reason. Quoted from Medical News Today, immunity is produced through white blood cells, antibodies, and other components, including lymph nodes, as a form of the immune system. \n\n However, overworked immunity can cause a person to have allergies, asthma, or eczema. Instead of protecting the body, a compromised immune system can potentially attack good compounds and other healthy organs. These conditions are known as autoimmune disorders, such as rheumatoid arthritis, type 1 diabetes, celiac disease, lupus, multiple sclerosis, psoriasis, and psoriatic arthritis. \n\n Signs of Weak Immunity \n\n The following are signs of a weak immune system to look out for: \n\n \n Icy hands \n \n\n If the blood vessels are inflamed, it's harder for your fingers and toes, ears, and nose to stay warm at normal body temperature.
