Recently, according to a study published in the Famous Journal ‘Nephrology’, Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is more serious in rural areas. 15.34% people are affected by this. While 10.65% of people in cities have kidney problems.
Our bad lifestyle and all small wrong habits are responsible for this. Usually when we interrupt us by eating more sweet, we make fun of it or blow it into the air, while similar habits are mostly a major cause of chronic disease.
so ‘Sehthanama‘I will talk about kidney disease today. Will also know that-
- Which habits are causing kidney damage?
- What to do to keep the kidney healthy?
What is kidney disease?
Kidney is the lifeline of our body. If the kidney health deteriorates, all the organ of the entire body will start deteriorating. So avoid disease. Nephrologist Dr. Ravi Kumar is telling what is kidney disease-
Kidney is damaging everyday habits
Our small wrong habits are spoiling the health of the kidney. Dr. Ravi Kumar says that they are so small that we often ignore them. Suppose if no one is drinking water for a long time, the kidney has a problem in blood filtering without water presence. This causes toxins to accumulate in the blood and causes kidney infections. Gradually, all other organs also start getting damaged. All these habits are responsible for kidney damage-
Understand all these habits in a little detail why it is damaging the kidney-
Drinking less water-
When we do not drink enough water, the kidney has to work hard to get toxins out. This causes toxins to accumulate in the body. This can cause kidney stone and infection.
Eating more salt-
Salt contains high sodium, due to which water starts accumulating in the body. This increases the blood volume and makes the blood pressure high. High BP gradually damages the kidney blood vessels and damage.
Processed food and junk food-
Fast food, packaged snacks, packaged juices and sauce contain more sodium, preservatives and chemicals. Due to this, there is extra load on the kidney and gradually the kidney starts getting damaged.
Taking painkillers without doctor’s advice-
If you are eating painkillers for a long time, then the blood vessels of the kidney start shrinking and the kidney sieve nephrons starts blocking, then the ability to do the work of the kidney starts decreasing. Blood flow is reduced by shrinking blood vessels. This also increases the risk of kidney failure.
Eating more sweet and sugar items-
Eating more sugar increases the blood sugar level in the body. This increases the possibility of getting diabetes. Diabetes is one of the biggest causes of kidney failure.
Taking high protein diet-
Our kidney filters toxins made during digestion of protein. This means that eating more protein has to work more, their workload increases. If you are taking high protein diet for a long time, then the risk of kidney damage increases.
Not getting enough sleep every day-
The kidneys repair themselves while sleeping at night and the body takes out setoxins. If you are not getting enough sleep, that is, not sleeping 7-8 hours, then this process is not completed properly. Therefore, due to lack of sleep, the risk of blood pressure and kidney disease increases.
Cigarette and alcohol intake-
Drinking cigarettes and alcohol causes kidney blood vessels to shrink, which reduces blood circulation. This causes the kidneys to become weak and cannot function properly.
Often to stop urin-
If someone keeps urination for a long time, the bacteria present in urine can cause kidney infection by reaching the kidney. This can also cause urinary tract infection (UTI). This habit for a long time can also cause kidney stone and chronic kidney disease (CKD). This can cause kidney damage.
Do not exercise-
If the sydentary is following lifestyle, that is, the possibility of obesity, high BP and diabetes increases, which can cause kidney disease and damage.
Some common questions and answers related to kidney disease and damage
Question: Which habits should be adopted to keep the kidney healthy?
answer:
- Drink at least 8-10 glasses of water daily.
- Eat less salt and processed food.
- Do not take painkillers without doctor’s advice.
- Do regular exercise and keep weight under control.

Question: Is prevention possible when kidney damage occurs?
answer: Yes, if the kidney disease is in the initial stage, it can be controlled with diet, exercise and correct medicines. But if the kidney has failed completely, then only dialysis or kidney transplant is the option.
Question: What is dialysis and when is it necessary?
answer: Dialysis is required when the kidney is unable to filter blood properly. It is a medical process, in which toxins and excess water are extracted from the body with the help of a machine. Dialysis is required when the kidney work is reduced by 15%.
Question: Is there any alternative to kidney transplant?
answer: Kidney transplant is the only solution if the kidney has failed and is not improving despite dialysis. It is applied to a kidney patient of a healthy person, so that he can live a normal life.
Question: Can a person survive only with a kidney?
answer: Yes, if a kidney is healthy, then a person can live in a normal way. Many people have a kidney since birth and it has been seen that they have no problem.
