Top-6 Bad Habits That Cause

So here are the top 6 causes of kidney disease:

1. Delaying going to a toilet
Keeping your urine in your bladder for too long is a
bad idea. A full bladder can cause bladder damage.
The urine that stays in the bladder multiplies bacteria
quickly. Once the urine refluxes back to the ureter
and kidneys, the toxic substances can result in kidney
infections, then urinary tract infections, and then
nephritis, and even uremia. When nature calls – do it
as soon as possible.
2. Eating too much salt
You should eat no more than 5.8 grams of salt daily.
3. Eating too much meat
Too much protein in your diet is harmful for your
kidneys. Protein digestion produces ammonia – a
toxin that is very destructive to your kidneys. More
meat equals more kidney damage.
4. Drinking too much caffeine
Caffeine is a component of many sodas and soft
drinks. It raises your blood pressure and your kidneys
start suffering. So you should cut down the amount
of coke you drink daily.
5. Not drinking water
Our kidneys should be hydrated properly to perform
their functions well. If we don’t drink enough, the
toxins can start accumulating in the blood, as there
isn’t enough fluid to drain them through the kidneys.
Drink more than 10 glasses of water daily. There is
an easy way to check if you are drinking enough
water: look at the colour of your urine; the lighter the
colour, the better.
6. Late treatment
Treat all your health problems properly and have your
health checked regularly.

OP failed to mention the major cause angry:
- Excessive alcohol consumption.
- Prolonged medication e.g for the management of HBP, Diabetes, etc.
- Prolonged use of skin bleaching products (according to NAFDAC's Dora Akunyili RIP).
- Consumption of Potassium bromate.
- Some diseases that may lead to septicaemia.

To mention a few.
