In addition, DN, who is 26 years old, also has hypertension, which can worsen his symptoms. Because of his condition, DN had to regularly do dialysis to replace his kidney function, which was no longer working properly.
Rarely drinking water can cause kidney failure?
The condition of kidney failure at a young age is often associated with the habit of rarely drinking water. What are the facts?
Quoted from Kidney, the body consists of 70 percent water. For the kidneys to work properly, the body needs water to thin the blood.
Without enough water, the kidneys have to work overtime to filter the blood. If you rarely drink water, you can become dehydrated which, if you have Severe can cause kidney damage. Some research suggests that frequent dehydration, even if mild, can cause permanent kidney damage.
You are advised to drink diligently because water helps produce more urine. And when you pee, the urine that comes out helps get rid of the bacteria that cause infection.
The National Kidney Foundation recommends that people with stage I and II chronic kidney disease (CKD) consume 8 glasses of water per day. Meanwhile, those with stage III, IV, and V kidney disease should limit their water consumption.
