Which groups of people are most likely to be "targeted" by kidney disease? Come and take a look

1. Diabetic patients

About 20% to 40% of diabetic patients may develop diabetic nephropathy, especially those with diabetes duration of more than 5 years and complications of diabetic retinopathy and peripheral neuritis.

2. Hypertension patients

Long-term hypertension can easily lead to intrarenal hypertension and vascular sclerosis, causing an increase in urinary albumin excretion rate, increased nocturia, and even affect kidney function.

3. Elderly people aged 65 and above

As we age, kidney function gradually declines, the kidneys become more fragile, and more susceptible to infection and cardiovascular disease.

4. People with metabolic abnormalities

The risk of renal damage is also significantly increased in patients with hyperlipidemia, hyperuricemia, and obesity.

5. People who use drugs recklessly or irregularly

Drug-induced kidney injury is a key pathogenic factor of kidney disease. Antipyretic and analgesic drugs, traditional Chinese medicine or Chinese patent medicine containing aristolochic acid, health products with unknown ingredients, and diet pills may all cause damage to the kidneys. If you blindly take drugs based on "folk remedies" or "secret recipes", it may cause acute or chronic renal failure.

6. Other groups

People with autoimmune diseases, family history of kidney disease, recurrent urinary tract infections and stone obstructions, and smoking habits are also susceptible to kidney disease.
