I was on a Twitter space yesterday and I was listening to experts and intellects talk about the rampant rise in kidney problems these days, most especially in Nigeria.
There are many conditions that causes kidney failure, the most common causes are high blood pressure and diabetes, according to National kidney foundation.
But I will be writing about other causes too such as,
Loss of blood flow to the kidney: loss of blood flow to the kidney can lead to the failure of the kidney, hence the causes are severe infection, dehydration, liver failure, allergic reaction and heart disease.
Urine elimination problem: when ones body can’t dispose urine, toxics builds and hence overload the kidneys. Some cancers can block the kidney such as. Cervical cancer, colon cancer, prostrate cancer and bladder cancer.
Other factors that can lead to kidney failure includes:
blood clot around the kidney.
Infection.
Heavy metal positioning.
Vasculitis.
Lupus.
Hemolytic umeric syndrome.
Multiple Myeloma.
Scleroderma.
Some antibiotics.
SYMPTOMS:
- Pain.
- Breathing difficulties.
- Metallic taste in mouth.
- Skin irritation.
- Chills.
- Nausea.
- Swelling.
- Fatigue.
- Lightheadedness.
- Changes in urination.
Also take into consideration that recent studies shows that many ANTIBIOTICS can cause kidney injuries too such as: aminoglycoside, cephalosporins, amphotericin b, bacitracin, and vancomycin.
These drugs affect your kidneys in different ways. for example, some can make crystals that don’t break down and can block urine flow. Others have substance that can damage certain kidney cells when they try to filter them out.
WHAT TO DO?
You can take steps to lower your risk of kidney failure.
Follow directions when taking over the counter medications. Taking doses that are too high, even if common drugs like aspirin, can create high toxin levels in a short amount of time, this can overload your kidney.
Many kidney or urinary tract lead to kidney failure when not properly managed.
Other things to do to lower the risk of kidney failure are:
maintaining healthy lifestyle.
Taking prescribed medication as directed and not more.
Keeping conditions such as diabetes and high Pb well managed.
