2 habits that increase the risk of kidney failure in young people
In the past, kidney failure often only appeared in the elderly, but now there are many factors that make this disease “rejuvenate” quickly. The doctor said that through practical treatment, there are two risk factors for kidney failure in young people, including:
– Unbalanced diet: Regularly consuming too much protein can lead to increased uric acid, causing gout, forming kidney stones, thereby damaging the urinary system and leading to kidney failure.
– Lack of exercise: Unscientific lifestyle, lack of exercise can cause weight gain, metabolic disorders – these are the underlying factors that cause kidney damage.
Don’t wait until symptoms appear to go to the doctor
According to the doctor, most young people only go to the doctor when severe symptoms appear and the kidneys have atrophied, requiring dialysis. Early detection is very difficult because in the early stages, kidney disease often progresses silently, without clear symptoms.
When clinical manifestations appear, most have progressed to the late stage. Many early warning signs are also easily confused with other internal diseases such as: bloating, loss of appetite (easily confused with signs of digestive diseases), dizziness, vertigo (easily confused with anemia).
Therefore, the best way to detect kidney disease early is to have a regular health check-up every 6 months. Young people, even if they feel healthy, should not be subjective and ignore regular check-ups.
In addition, to prevent kidney disease, doctors recommend that everyone should build a healthy lifestyle, eat a balanced diet, control weight and increase physical activity.
