The kidneys are the purification plants that remove waste from the body. But in certain situations, the kidneys can suddenly stop working or slowly deteriorate. The main reasons for this are:
Uncontrolled diabetes and high blood pressure: These are the two biggest causes of kidney disease. High blood sugar and excessive pressure damage the delicate blood vessels in the kidneys. This destroys the kidneys’ filtering ability over time.
Excessive use of painkillers: Taking painkillers (Painkillers / NSAIDs) for a long time without a doctor’s prescription can cause serious damage to the kidneys. This can lead to a condition called ‘analgesic nephropathy’.
Dehydration and low blood flow: Excessive loss of water in the body (Dehydration) reduces blood flow to the kidneys. Kidneys can fail quickly due to severe diarrhea, vomiting, or blood loss due to major accidents.
Urinary obstruction and stones: Urine retention due to stones in the urinary tract, tumors, or inflammation of the prostate gland increases pressure on the kidneys and damages their cells.
Infections and antibodies: Severe blood infections (sepsis), pus that affects the kidneys, or conditions in which the immune system attacks its own kidneys (autoimmune diseases) can also quickly damage the kidneys.
