What is dangerous for your kidneys?

The man does not know how lucky he is when healthy. In working with patients with renal failure, dialysis, which sustains life, I realized just how important the kidneys and how little we are trying to ease their hard work. On the contrary, most of us every day doing things that threaten the health of our fellow kidney.



The kidneys are organs that steam have many functions in the body. The kidneys filter the blood and removes harmful substances from our body maintain fluid and electrolyte balance, regulate blood pressure and produce substances that maintain normal blood composition (erythropoietin). The basic unit of the kidney is called the nephron. Kidney nephrons filter every 45 minutes the whole blood from the body and produce about 2 liters of urine in 24 hours.

Kidney, liver, together with the most powerful natural mechanism to detoxify our body and disrupt their daily health. Every few exceptions!

The following is the story of substances in large quantities and daily consumption harm our body.

1 Increased intake of salt
In moderate amounts of salt is necessary for our bodies, but larger amounts cause us harm. When you eat salt and salty foods make a great load for the kidneys, besides increasing blood pressure. The high pressure damages the body and all organs, primarily the kidneys, heart. brain and eyes. One teaspoon of salt a day is quite enough. People who are diagnosed with a kidney disease and high blood pressure should reduce salt in your diet.  Reduce consumation of salt meat products (pâté, salami, ham, sausage, dried meat) and salty cheeses. Soup from the bag are also unhealthy.

2 Painkillers can be dangerous
There are certain groups of drugs that are highly neprotoxic. Some of these drugs, such as aminoglycoside antibiotics can rapidly and in a short time, damage your kidneys. Also Tylenol, which is widely used in daily life, headache, fever, pain in the bones, to soothe menstrual pain also damage the kidneys. a kidney disease called analgesic nephropathy. I tell you this name speaks for itself.Kidney damage can make some medicines for high blood pressure.

3 Sugar is also not harmless

Excessive sugar intake can cause multiple problems such as obesity and diabetes. Do not forget the fact that the highest percentage of patients to hemodialysis because of diabetes.

4 Cigarette smoking

Ingredients other than tobacco smoke damages the lungs and heart, damage blood vessels and kidneys.The kidneys are mostly built of blood vessels, and smoking increases the risk of just blood vessels thrombosis.  Particularly dangerous cigarette smoking among people with diabetes.

I tried briefly to show you how important it is to think of the daily health of your kidneys. Kidneys have a large reserve capacity. The biggest problem with kidney disease is that it is difficult to detect in the advanced stages.
One common urine test can tell you a lot. Never frivolous understand the presence of proteins (protein) in the urine. If you have high blood pressure, be sure to check kidney function. If you have anemia in blood Always check kidney function!
