As the internal medicine consultant explained in a special statement to “The Seventh Day” that there are two types of kidney failure: acute kidney failure and chronic kidney failure, and each of them has causes. Chronic is one of the most common causes in society, and requires good follow-up treatment. These are diabetes and high blood pressure, which are chronic diseases.

The doctor advises those with these diseases that they are accompanied by the disease itself in order to live with it through regular treatment follow-up through medical examinations, analyzes and taking medications, but patients neglecting the disease itself will expose them to serious health problems.

Factors that increase the risk of kidney failure include high blood pressure, especially among young people who eat a lot of fast food. Unfortunately, these foods lead to high blood pressure, as well as their eating of canned and preserved foods that contain elements that increase high blood pressure, so Dr. Hala advises abstaining. Avoid fast food filled with unsaturated oils, which lead to hardening of the arteries and an increase in fats in the blood, which consequently leads to the young man suffering from high blood pressure that exposes him to the risk of kidney failure.
