Causes of Chronic Kidney Disease

Surely, you can cure your damaged kidney by working on causes because if these small reasons can spoil your kidneys, you can also fix your kidneys by improving these causes.

1. High Blood Pressure 

Having High Blood Pressure is considered the most common cause of kidney disease. Because high blood pressure damages the blood vessel of the kidney, this is the reason the kidney can’t filter the blood properly. Therefore, normal blood pressure should be between 120/80mm Hg.

2.Diabetes                                                     

Diabetes is the second major cause of kidney disease. High sugar levels in a person’s body damage the tiny filtering membranes of the kidneys. Although, a blood sugar level of 200mg/dl or above indicates that you have diabetes.

3. Excess of allopathic medicines

In this case, multiple allopathic medicines affect the kidney most because these are a combination of many chemicals. In addition, a regular dose of medicines can destroy healthy cells. Healthy and strong cells help to protect the surface of organs and the body from damage.

4. Blood vessel disease   

High blood pressure and diabetes damage the tiny tissue and cells of the kidneys that cause impairment in kidney function.

5. Smoking and alcohol  

Undoubtedly, alcohol also affects your blood pressure. In addition, regular heavy drinking has been found to double the risk of chronic kidney disease. As a result, it does not cure over time.

Healthy kidneys help to remove extra phosphorus, helping balance phosphorus levels in the blood. Maintaining a good level of phosphorus in the blood helps to keep bones strong.
