Kidney is one of the vital organs in the body which requires utmost care. Failure to care for or protect the kidney results to kidney diseases or kidney failure
The speed at which young people suffer from kidney disease is alarming.

HERE ARE THE MAIN CAUSES OF KIDNEY DISEASE

Holding back your urine
Keeping your urine in your bladder too long is a bad idea. A full bladder can cause bladder damage. The urine left in the bladder multiplies the bacteria quickly. Once the urine returns to the ureter and kidneys, toxic substances can lead to kidney infections, then urinary infections, then nephritis and even uremia. When nature calls, do it as soon as possible.

Too much salt intake
You should not eat more than 5.8 grams of salt a day.
Eating too much red meat. Too much protein in your diet is harmful to your kidneys. Protein digestion produces ammonia, a very destructive toxin for the kidneys. More meat equals more kidney damage.

Drinking too much caffeine
Caffeine is a component of many sodas and soft drinks. This increases your blood pressure and your kidneys begin to suffer. So you should reduce the amount of coke you drink every day.

Overusing Painkillers
Some non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs that are meant for pain relief in things like headaches and muscle pain can actually cause damage and lead to higher chances of developing kidney Disease.

Eating processed food
Packaged food contains a lot of sodium which affects the heart and can cause kidney problems. By consuming too much salt the organs have to work more to excrete the excess salt.

Smoking
Lung cancer is not the only risk of cigarettes. Smoking can harm the whole body by increasing blood pressure, lowering the circulation and constricting blood vessels in the kidneys.

Missing Out on Sleep
A good night’s rest is extremely important to your overall well-being and, it turns out, your kidneys. Kidney function is regulated by the sleep-wake cycle which helps coordinate the kidneys’ workload over 24 hours.

Drinking too much alcohol
Intake of too much alcohol has been found to be one of the major habits that cause kidney disease. It doubles the risk chronic kidney disease. Heavy drinkers who also smoke have an even higher risk of kidney problems. Smokers who are heavy drinkers have about five times the chance of developing chronic kidney disease than people who don’t smoke or drink alcohol in excess.
