5. HABITS THAT WILL SERIOUSLY DAMAGES YOUR KIDNEYS.

1.Alcohol abuse:

your alcohol can damages and stress your kidneys and liver too.
it increases the pressure andmay lead to kidney failure and stones.

Summary

For most adults, moderate alcohol use is probably not harmful. However, about 18 million adult Americans have an alcohol use disorder (AUD). This means that their drinking causes distress and harm. It includes alcoholism and alcohol abuse.

Alcoholism, or alcohol dependence, is a disease that causes

• Craving - a strong need to drink
• Loss of control - not being able to stop drinking once you've started
• Physical dependence - withdrawal symptoms
• Tolerance - the need to drink more alcohol to feel the same effect

With alcohol abuse, you are not physically dependent, but you still have a serious problem. The drinking may cause problems at home, work, or school. It may cause you to put yourself in dangerous situations, or lead to legal or social problems.

Another common problem is binge drinking. It is drinking about five or more drinks in two hours for men. For women, it is about four or more drinks in two hours.

Too much alcohol is dangerous. Heavy drinking can increase the risk of certain cancers. It can cause damage to the liver , brain, and other organs. Drinking during pregnancy can harm your baby. Alcohol also increases the risk of death from car crashes, injuries, homicide, and suicide.

You may have an AUD if you can answer yes to two or more of these questions:

In the past year, have you

• Ended up drinking more or for a longer time than you had planned to?
• Wanted to cut down or stop drinking, or tried to, but couldn't?
• Spent a lot of your time drinking, or recovering from drinking?
• Felt a strong need to drink?
• Found that drinking - or being sick from drinking - often interfered with your family life, job, or school?
• Kept drinking even though it was causing trouble with your family or friends?
• Given up or cut back on activities that you enjoyed just so you could drink?
• Gotten into dangerous situations while drinking or after drinking? Some examples are driving drunk and having unsafe sex.
• Kept drinking even though it was making you feel depressed or anxious? Or when it was adding to another health problem?
• Had to drink more and more to feel the effects of the alcohol?
• Had withdrawal symptoms when the alcohol was wearing off? They include trouble sleeping, shakiness, irritability, anxiety, depression, restlessness, nausea, and sweating. In severe cases, you could have a fever, seizures, or hallucinations.

If you have any of these symptoms, your drinking may already be a cause for concern. The more symptoms you have, the more serious the problem is. If you think you might have an AUD, see your health care provider for an evaluation. Your provider can help make a treatment plan, prescribe medicines, and if needed, give you treatment referrals.

2. Insufficient water intake:

In this case, the body is unable to eliminate toxic waste.

The human body can last weeks without food, but only days without water. The body is made up of 50 to 75 per cent water. Water forms the basis of blood, digestive juices, urine and perspiration, and is contained in lean muscle, fat and bones.

As the body can’t store water, we need fresh supplies every day to make up for losses from the lungs, skin, urine and faeces (poo). The amount we need depends on our body size, metabolism, the weather, the food we eat and our activity levels.

Water in our bodies

Some facts about our internal water supply include:

• Body water content is higher in men than in women and falls in both with age.
• Most mature adults lose about 2.5 to 3 litres of water per day. Water loss may increase in hot weather and with prolonged exercise.
• Elderly people lose about two litres per day.
• An air traveller can lose approximately 1.5 litres of water during a three-hour flight.
• Water loss needs to be replaced.

Importance of water

Water is needed for most body functions, including to:

• maintain the health and integrity of every cell in the body
• keep the bloodstream liquid enough to flow through blood vessels
• help eliminate the byproducts of the body’s metabolism, excess electrolytes (for example, sodium and potassium), and urea, which is a waste product formed through the processing of dietary protein
• regulate body temperature through sweating
• moisten mucous membranes such as those of the lungs and mouth
• lubricate and cushion joints
• reduce the risk of cystitis by keeping the bladder clear of bacteria
• aid digestion and prevent constipation
• moisturise the skin to maintain its texture and appearance
• carry nutrients and oxygen to cells
• serve as a shock absorber inside the eyes, spinal cord and in the amniotic sac surrounding the fetus in pregnancy.

 

3: Urine retention:

it increases the pressure and may lead to kidney failure and stones

Definition

Urinary retention is defined as the inability to completely or partially empty the bladder.¹ Suffering from urinary retention means you may be unable to start urination, or if you are able to start, you can’t fully empty your bladder.

---

Symptoms

Symptoms of urinary retention may include:

• Difficulty starting to urinate
• Difficulty fully emptying the bladder
• Weak dribble or stream of urine
• Loss of small amounts of urine during the day
• Inability to feel when bladder is full
• Increased abdominal pressure
• Lack of urge to urinate
• Strained efforts to push urine out of the bladder
• Frequent urination
• Nocturia (waking up more than two times at night to urinate)

---

Causes

There are two general types of urinary retention: obstructive and non-obstructive. If there is an obstruction (for example, kidney stones), urine cannot flow freely through the urinary track. Non-obstructive causes include a weak bladder muscle and nerve problems that interfere with signals between the brain and the bladder. If the nerves aren’t working properly, the brain may not get the message that the bladder is full.

Some of the most common causes of non-obstructive urinary retention are:

• Stroke
• Vaginal childbirth
• Pelvic injury or trauma
• Impaired muscle or nerve function due to medication or anaesthesia
• Accidents that injure the brain or spinal cord

Obstructive retention may result from:

• Cancer
• Kidney or bladder stones
• Enlarged prostate (BPH) in men

Diagnosis

Talk to your doctor about your symptoms and how they affect your daily life. Your doctor will make a diagnosis based on your symptoms.

4: Sleep deprivatation:

it could easily lead to kidney disease because the body doesn't get enough time ti repair its issues.

Sleep deprivation occurs when an individual gets less sleep than they need to feel awake and alert. People vary in how little sleep is needed to be considered sleep-deprived. Some people such as older adults seem to be more resistant to the effects of sleep deprivation, while others, especially children and young adults, are more vulnerable.

Although occasional sleep interruptions are generally no more than a nuisance, ongoing lack of sleep can lead to excessive daytime sleepiness, emotional difficulties, poor job performance,obesity  and a lowered perception of quality of life.

There is no questioning the importance of restorative sleep, and a certain amount of attention is necessary to both manage and prevent sleep deprivation.

This Medical News Today Knowledge Center article examines the consequences of sleep deprivation, along with what can be done to treat and prevent it.

Fast facts on sleep deprivation

Here are some key points about sleep deprivation. More detail and supporting information is in the main article.

• Sleep loss alters normal functioning of attention and disrupts the ability to focus on environmental sensory input
• Lack of sleep has been implicated as playing a significant role in tragic accidents involving airplanes, ships, trains, automobiles and nuclear power plants
• Children and young adults are most vulnerable to the negative effects of sleep deprivation
• Sleep deprivation can be a symptom of an undiagnosed sleep disorder or other medical problem
• When you fail to get your required amount of sufficient sleep, you start to accumulate a sleep debt.

 

5.Vitamin deficiency:

The food you has great impact on the function of your kidneys consider increasing your magnesium and vitamin B6 intake.


Vitamin deficiencies
Fat soluble vitamins may be deficient in diseases of malabsorption such as Celiac disease (sprue), cystic fibrosis, chronic pancreatitis, inflammatory bowel disease or short bowel from multiple bowel resections. Water-soluble vitamin deficiencies are uncommon, but may be seen in wasting states (cancer, HIV, etc.), or after gastric bypass surgery during rapid weight loss and non-compliance with vitamin intake. Vitamin and mineral deficiencies may cause the following signs or symptoms:
Vitamin A = difficulty seeing at night, xerophthalmia (corneal erosions and scarring), dry skin Vitamin B1 = double vision (nystagmus, ophthalmoplegia), impaired gait, confusion, memory loss Vitamin B2 = anemia, dermatitis, sore throat-mouth-tongue Vitamin B3 = vomiting, hyperpigmented rash, diarrhea, disorientation-delusions-dementia Vitamin B12 = anemia, abnormal gait and balance, impaired memory and irritability, dementia Vitamin C = scurvy (poor wound healing, bleeding gums, petechiae, arthralgias, hyperkeratosis) Vitamin D = osteomalacia or rickets (in children), bone loss, muscle weakness or spasm Vitamin E = abnormal gait and balance, muscle weakness, neurologic abnormalities Vitamin K = poor blood clotting, skin bruising
Not Enough Fiber
Fiber refers to carbohydrates that cannot be completely digested. Fiber is present in all edible plants to include fruits, vegetables, grains and legumes. However, not all fiber is the same. One way to categorize fiber is by its source of origin. For example, fiber from grains is referred to as cereal fiber. Another way to categorize fiber is by how easily it dissolves in water. Soluble fiber partially dissolves in water whereas insoluble fiber does not dissolve in water. These differences are important in understanding fiber's effect on the risk of developing certain diseases.

So do avoid these things and protect your health to be damages.
