If kidney diseases are not taken care of in time, then they can have fatal side effects. The risk of kidney-related diseases is seen increasing rapidly in the young population. Health experts say that lifestyle and dietary disturbances hurt overall health, but it is considered to increase the fatal side effects related to kidneys in younger people.
According to a Harvard Health report, an estimated 37 million (37 million) people in the United States suffer from chronic kidney disease (CKD). A large number of these are people under the age of 30. During the early stages, nine out of 10 people do not know that they have this disease. If kidney disease is detected in time and treated properly, serious problems can be avoided.
If kidney problems are not taken care of in time, then it can also be fatal.
Why is kidney disease increasing?
Many bad habits of daily routine have been considered to increase kidney diseases. People suffering from high blood pressure, diabetes and high cholesterol may be at a higher risk of developing chronic kidney disease. As far as the increase in kidney diseases in young age or young population is concerned, two conditions are mainly considered responsible for this - smoking and high blood pressure.
If kidney disease occurs in the early stages of life, then there is a risk of negative impact on the quality of life.
Smoking habit is dangerous
Smoking can hurt overall health, but this habit can also cause serious damage to the kidneys. Smoking damages your heart and blood vessels (cardiovascular system), which can obstruct blood flow to the kidneys. The risk of problems in blood flow is also considered very harmful to kidney health. It is advisable to stay away from smoking to maintain overall health including kidney.
Disadvantages of high blood pressure
Many studies have raised concerns that the problem of high blood pressure is increasing in the young population. Over time, high blood pressure starts damaging blood vessels throughout your body, reducing the blood supply to vital organs like the kidneys. Due to high blood pressure, the small filtering units present in your kidneys also start getting damaged, which impedes the normal functioning of the kidneys. Problems in removing waste and excess fluid from the blood are harmful to overall health.
