Why do kidney related problems occur?

Kidneys are a very important organ of the body, which works to clean the blood, remove toxins and maintain the balance of water and minerals in the body. When the kidneys stop working properly, dangerous toxins start accumulating in the body.

There can be many reasons behind kidney failure or chronic kidney disease (CKD), such as:

• High blood pressure – Uncontrolled blood pressure over a long period of time damages the kidneys.
• Diabetes – Diabetes is the biggest cause of kidney disease in India.
• Recurrent infections – Infections in the kidney can reduce its functioning.
• Lifestyle and diet – Consuming too much salt, processed foods and less water puts pressure on the kidneys.
• Long-term use of medications – especially painkillers or steroids.

How dangerous is kidney disease?

Kidney disease is often called a silent killer because its symptoms are very mild in the early stages. By the time the patient shows symptoms like fatigue, swelling, urination problems or changes in blood pressure, the disease has progressed considerably. In the last stage, the patient needs dialysis or kidney transplant.
