Misuse of Medications
Some over-the-counter drugs, painkillers, antibiotics, and other medications, if misused or used improperly, can damage the kidneys. Additionally, some herbal medicines also have nephrotoxicity. Therefore, when using medication, it is essential to follow the doctor's instructions correctly and avoid long-term or excessive use.
Insufficient Water Intake
Water is the source of life, and adequate water intake helps maintain normal metabolism and detoxification in the body. If water is not consumed for an extended period, it can lead to concentrated urine, increasing the risk of kidney stones. It also increases the filtering burden on the kidneys, affecting their normal function. Therefore, maintaining sufficient daily water intake is an important measure for protecting kidney health.
