Some may form crystals that don\u2019t <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">breakdown and can block your urine flow. If this happens you need to contact your doctor <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">immediately for a change of antibiotics.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Some antibiotics have substances that damage certain kidney cells when they filter them out. <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">These bacteria fighting drugs can damage your kidney if taken excessively and too often.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Some types of Penicillin, sulfonamides and cephalosporins can damage your kidney when<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">taken long term.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/hObOpAcaC74<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">www.Doctorharold.com<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Diuretics are prescribed by your doctor to get rid of excess water to lower your blood <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">pressure. By taking excess amounts can dehydrate you and cause damage to your kidneys.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Large doses of aspirin taken daily can damage your kidney, and that is the reason why you <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">are prescribed a small dose daily to be taken to thin your blood, as a prophylactic to stroke<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">and heart disease.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">If your kidneys are already damaged, certain drugs can make them worse and lead to kidney <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">failure. Medications taken for cholesterol, diabetes and antacids taken for upset stomach, <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">antifungal and antiviral drugs can harm your kidneys further.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">In CT scans you are given a dye to help them see a specific area of your body better. In some <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">cases the dye given into your vein can cause serious damage to your kidneys.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Ask your doctor about other tests you might have instead. <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Herbal supplements <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Always discuss with your doctor before you taken certain herbal supplements for your <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">wellbeing. Supplement makers don\u2019t have to prove their products are safe, and some can <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">damage your kidneys.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Kidneys process all foods you eat. Lots of salt, fat and sugars can harm your kidneys. Bad <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">diets give rise to high blood pressure, obesity, diabetes, and other conditions can harm your <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">kidneys. Healthy diet will have lots of veggies, fruits and whole grains and less process <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">foods.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Processed foods are significant sources of sodium and phosphorus. If you have chronic <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">kidney disease you need to cut on salt and phosphorus.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Excess salt can damage your kidneys. The only way to remove the excess salt is filtering and <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">pushing out as much water as possible. Unfortunately, this forces more proteins into the <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">urine. Excess salt intake can cause high blood pressure that can cause kidney damage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">When sodium accumulates in your extracellular fluid your face and feet start swelling. <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Eat less salt and flavor your foods with herbs and spices instead of salt.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Not drinking sufficient water daily flushes your kidneys and keep them healthy. Adequate <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">water intake will help to clear sodium and toxins from the body. You could avoid kidney <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">stone formation by drinking adequate amount of water.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">If you have kidney failure you need to restrict fluid intake. <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">A good night\u2019s sleep is important to keep your kidneys healthy, because kidney functions are <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">regulated by the sleep-wake cycle which helps coordinate the kidney\u2019s workload over 24<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">hours.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Eat less animal meat. Animal proteins generates high amounts of acid in the blood that can be <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">harmful to the kidneys and cause acidosis, a condition that kidneys cannot eliminate acid fast <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">enough.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Drinking excess alcohol can damage your kidneys. Drinking 4 drinks a day has been found to <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">double the risk chronic kidney disease.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Sitting for long periods has been linked to the development of kidney disease. Physical <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">activity directly impacts good kidney health.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The two common conditions that affect your kidneys are diabetes and high blood pressure. <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Both can be controlled with proper diet and exercise.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Kidneys filter waste products from your blood into the urine. When your kidneys don\u2019t <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">function well toxins can build up. You may get itchy skin when there is a build up of toxins <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">in your body. Over time, your kidneys may not be able to balance the minerals and nutrients <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">in your body and that can lead to loss of minerals and bone disease.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">If you are tired, you need to check your kidney functions <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">You may get muscle cramps in your legs and hands when your kidneys don\u2019t function well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Imbalance in the levels of sodium, calcium, potassium can give rise to muscle cramps <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">because it interrupts the working of the nerves.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">If you are breathless, it could be due to kidney dysfunction. When you have kidney disease, <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">your organs don\u2019t make enough of a hormone called erythropoietin. The hormones signal <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">your body to make red blood cells. Without it, you can get anemia and feel short of breath.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Another cause is fluid buildup. You might have a hard time catching your breath. In serious <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">cases, lying down may make you feel like you\u2019re drowning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">When your kidneys don\u2019t function well you could have a foggy head. This is due to the pure <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">filtering of waste and toxins out of your body. ou may feel dizzy and have trouble with <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">concentration and memory. You may even become so confused that you have trouble with <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">simple tasks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">You may lose your appetite, and cause nausea and vomiting and lead to loss of weight when <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">your kidneys fail.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">You can have a foul breath when your kidneys don\u2019t filter out waste and result in <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">accumulation of urea an excretory product. This condition is referred to as uremia.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Now you will realize the importance of keeping your kidneys healthy for better wellbeing and <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">longevity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Good luck, stay safe and goodbye for now.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Most of this information is from courtesy of WebMD<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Disclaimer:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The information contained in this article is for general information purposes only, and whilst the author will endeavour to keep the information up to date and correct, eLanka makes no representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, about the completeness, accuracy, reliability, suitability or availability with respect to the eLanka website or the information, products, services, or related graphics contained in this article for any purpose.
