The kidneys play a crucial role in filtering and eliminating waste products and excess fluids from the body. Various factors can contribute to kidney damage, and it’s essential to address these factors to prevent or manage kidney disease. Some common causes of kidney damage include:

• Hypertension (High Blood Pressure): Persistent high blood pressure can damage the blood vessels in the kidneys, reducing their ability to function properly over time.
• Diabetes: Diabetes is a leading cause of kidney disease. High levels of blood sugar over time can damage the kidneys’ filtering units (glomeruli).
• Infections: Infections, especially urinary tract infections (UTIs) that spread to the kidneys, can cause damage. Chronic kidney infections may lead to scarring and impaired kidney function.
