7 Unintentional Ways You Could Be Harming Your Kidneys on World Kidney Day

Reading Time: < 1 minute

Kidneys are vital organs that play a crucial role in filtering blood, removing waste, and maintaining overall health. However, chronic kidney disease (CKD) is becoming increasingly prevalent, with Indians at a higher risk due to factors such as diabetes and high blood pressure.

CKD is a progressive condition that can lead to serious health complications if left untreated. Many people may not experience symptoms until the disease has advanced significantly, making early detection crucial. Some signs of advancing CKD include swollen ankles, fatigue, and blood in the urine.

Several harmful behaviors can contribute to kidney damage and the development of CKD. High salt intake, uncontrolled blood sugars, and high blood pressure are just a few examples of habits that can negatively impact kidney health. Smoking, overuse of painkillers, and excessive consumption of sodas and processed foods can also increase the risk of kidney disease.

It is important for individuals with high-risk factors such as diabetes, hypertension, obesity, or a family history of kidney disease to get their kidney function checked regularly. Simple blood and urine tests can detect CKD early on, allowing for timely interventions to slow the progression of the disease and improve quality of life.

Overall, taking steps to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including monitoring salt intake, controlling blood sugar levels, and staying hydrated, can help protect kidney health and reduce the risk of developing CKD.
