Knowledge indeed is power, I'm guilty of 1 and 2, I don't like taking water, but will start now.

What abt smoking?

Divinique: Thanks it's really educating. Ï tot Ï was an expert in holding back urine, Ï neva knew Ï was damaging my kidney. Thanks for sharin dis info

Do women hold back urine to as far as becoming experts on that ?

Onyenna: I'm definitely guilty of № 2. . I find it difficult to finish a sachet of pure water! . .

you only need to finish the content, not the sachet ok?

@bigwalls

Alcohol has no real value. It only reduces human value and help you forget your problems temporarily.

If you dobut, check any alcohol advert and see the message therein (always none)

@op

The post is very educative but I'd like to know how and where we can carry periodic kidney testIn Lagos? More so if it is affordable from your background experience.

I really don't know the price range, but all i can tell you for now is that you can go to lagos state university teaching hospital (LUTH) for periodic check-ups for early detection, although they are few nephrologist in the Nigeria. As at 13 of march 2012 Nigeria had just 100 Nephrologist practising in the country.

This is highly educative, of which I'm guilty of #1 & 2. Op, u have saved souls with this post.

author=Oliandre]Kidney disease is one of the costliest illnesses in the
world and managing kidney disease is very expensive.

Each year, lots of people die of kidney disease all over the world, and
the number of people suffering from chronic renal failure, and need
dialysis or kidney transplantation to stay alive keep increasing.

Statistics have it that, worldwide, more than millions patients are
waiting for kidney transplants, but only a few thousands will receive
transplants because of shortage of suitable organ donors.

Patients usually felt surprised when they are diagnosed of Kidney
Failure.

Experts have found the explanation from your daily life habits.

Here are the top habits which lead to your kidney failure:



1. Not emptying your bladder early: Maintaining a full bladder for a
long time is a quick way of causing bladder damage. That the urine stays
in the bladder for a long time can cause the bacteria breeding in urine
to multiply quickly. Once the urine refluxes back to ureter and
kidneys, the bacteria can result in kidney infections, then urinary
tract infection, and then nephritis, even Uremia.
So, no matter how busy you are, remember to drink a lot of water and
urinate regularly. Once you form the habit of holding back urine, it
will ultimately damage your kidneys.

2. Not drinking enough water: The main functions of the kidneys are to
regulate erythrocyte balances and eliminate metabolic wastes in urine.
If we do not drink enough water, the blood will be concentrated and the
blood flow to the kidney will not be adequate, thus the function of
eliminating toxins in from blood will be impaired.

3. Taking too much salt: 95% sodium we consume through food is
metabolized by the kidneys. Exceeding the salt intake will make the
kidneys work harder to excrete the excess salt and can lead to decreased
kidney function. This excess sodium will cause water retention, causing
edema. Edema usually elevates blood pressure and increases the risk of
developing kidney disease. The daily salt intake should be controlled
within 6g per day.

4. Not treating common infections quickly and properly: Common
infections, such as pharyngitis, tonsillitis, common cold etc, usually
triggers or aggravates kidney damage. They do this by causing an acute
attack of acute glomerulonephritis or chronic nephritis. So, you will
see that people who get kidney disease for the first time or whose
illness condition becomes worse usually present in hospitals with a
history of cold or sore throat.
If after having cold, symptoms like blood in urine, swelling, headache,
nausea, vomiting, fatigue, poor appetite appear, you should consult your
doctor immediately, to assess your kidney functions, and start
treatment if compromised.

5. Eating too much meat: Eating too much meat and protein can increase
the metabolic load of the kidney. For those suffering from proteinuria,
meat consumption too may aggravate protein leakage, worsening renal
pathological lesion.
It is suggested that protein intake should be 0.8g/kg per day. This
means that a person with 50 kg should consume 40g of protein per day.
Meat consumption per day should be limited within 300g.

6. Not eating enough: This is equally as dangerous as eating too much,
both of them will lead damages to your digestive organs where is full of
mucosal tissues. Mucosal tissues relates closely to your immune system.
This is why many kidney failure patients are diagnosed with “autoimmune
kidney damages”.

7. Painkiller abuse: The use of analgesics for a prolonged duration may
reduce the flow blood and greatly affect kidney function. In addition,
patients with analgesic-induced renal failure are more likely to suffer
from bladder cancer.
Use analgesics only when it's absolutely necessary, learn to rest
instead of taking to the bottles. If you have been on pain killers for a
long term, it's about time you had a test to access you renal function
done.

8. Missing your drugs: Hypertension and diabetes have been shown to
precipitate or accelerate kidney damage, so if you are diagnosed as
having any of these disease don't live your life in denial, USE YOUR
DRUGS.
This will ultimately help control your condition while also helping to
preserve your kidneys.

9. Drinking too much alcohol: Drinking alcohol without limitation may
cause the deposition of uric acid in renal tubules, causing tubular
obstruction and increasing risks of kidney failure.

10. Not resting enough: In our society, hypertension as a severe threat
to life is largely due to stress. A common symptom of stress is
insomnia. Blood pressure may increase by an average of 2-5mg/Hg because
of insomnia. Chronically elevated blood pressure can cause damage to
kidney capillaries giving rise to kidney problems. Thus, we need to
develop a good attitude to life and strike a good balance between work
and rest to protect your kidneys and live a healthy life.

At the early stage of kidney diseases, there are usually no the special
symptoms, so lots of patients are not diagnosed until the acute attack
appears or the illness condition develops into the late stage. So you
should endeavor to do kidney function test from time to time to assess
how healthy your kidneys are.

Never ignore the soreness of waist, swelling of the feet, changes in
urine color or volume, increase in night urination, palor, high blood
pressure and other such symptoms. Once found, you should go and see your
doctor immediately.source

Good info for healthy living,
In addition,I read in an article somtime ago that
Average intake of water@ about 4-5 litres of water content per-day should be administered.

1* Cigarette (Tobacco)
2* Unregulated use of herbs concoction (Agbo)
2* Abuse of hard drugs (Marijuana,Meth,Crack)

Impairs the rightfull function of the kidney .

Health is wealth.

The Kidney is a very important organ in the body and also have a good resilience to assaults although preventing the damage is important.This article may help[http://healthguardmain..com/2013/10/keep-your-kidneys-healthy.html][/url]
