What causes kidney deficiency?

For most men, they are afraid of being called weak by others, because physical weakness refers to kidney deficiency, which in turn affects a person's sexual ability, which is why they will be ridiculed. However, sometimes for some men, they develop symptoms of kidney deficiency without realizing it, and they don’t know the exact reason. This is the saddest thing. So, what causes kidney deficiency?

1. Abuse of analgesics

Long-term or large-dose use of some anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs, such as painkillers, indomethacin, paracetamol, aspirin, etc., can easily cause kidney damage.

2. Overdose of certain Chinese herbal medicines

Clinically, it has been found that the Chinese herbal medicines that can "damage the kidneys" include: Tripterygium wilfordii, Aristolochia chuanxiong, Pharbitis chinensis, Xanthium sibiricum, Poppy shell, Raw Aconitum, Quisqualis chinensis, Aucklandia lappa, Stephania tetrandra, etc. Among them, Tripterygium wilfordii causes the greatest kidney damage, followed by Aristolochia scoparia.

3. Excessive drinking

Excessive intake of soft drinks and sports drinks can indirectly damage the kidneys. The pH value in the human body is 7.2. These drinks are generally highly acidic, and the pH value in the body changes significantly after drinking them.

4. Eating bread that is too soft

There is a food additive called potassium bromate in bread and pastries, which makes them taste soft, but excessive consumption can damage the human central nervous system, blood and kidneys.

5. Overeating

Modern people have more opportunities to have dinner together, and often eat too much "delicacies". Most of these wastes are excreted through the kidneys, and excessive eating will undoubtedly increase the burden on the kidneys.

6. Drink strong tea after drinking

Some people believe that drinking strong tea after drinking alcohol can help them sober up. In fact, this is not only ineffective, but can also damage the kidneys. Experts say that the tea alkaloids in tea can quickly affect the kidneys and exert a diuretic effect. At this time, the alcohol has not had time to be broken down and is excreted from the kidneys, causing the kidneys to be stimulated by a large amount of ethanol, thereby damaging kidney function.

7. Eating too salty food

A diet too salty will cause high blood pressure, and the kidneys will not be able to maintain normal blood flow, thus inducing kidney disease.

8. Frequently holding urine

Some people hold their urine for a long time because of their busy work. Experts warn that holding urine can lead to urinary tract infection and pyelonephritis. Once this type of infection recurs, it can cause a chronic infection that is difficult to cure.

9. Drinking too little water

If you don't drink water for a long time, the amount of urine will decrease and the concentration of waste and toxins carried in the urine will increase. Common clinical conditions such as kidney stones and hydronephrosis are closely related to not drinking water for a long time.
