- 𝓒𝓱𝓻𝓸𝓷𝓲𝓬 𝓚𝓲𝓭𝓷𝓮𝔂 𝓓𝓲𝓼𝓮𝓪𝓼𝓮 (𝓒𝓚𝓓), when health problems affect your kidneys, they can cause CKD.
If they’re so damaged that they stop working, it’s called kidney failure, or end-stage renal disease (ESRD).
- 𝓓𝓲𝓪𝓫𝓮𝓽𝓮𝓼, this leading cause of kidney failure damages the organs’ small blood vessels and filters. That makes it difficult for them to clean your blood.
- 𝓐𝓷𝓸𝓻𝓮𝔁𝓲𝓪 𝓝𝓮𝓻𝓿𝓸𝓼𝓪, people who have this have an unrealistic body image, and they don’t eat enough to stay at a healthy weight. (They weigh at least 15% less than they should.) That can lead to a lack of water, electrolytes, and salt in the body, which can cause chronic kidney disease and, eventually, kidney failure.
- 𝓗𝓲𝓰𝓱 𝓑𝓵𝓸𝓸𝓭 𝓟𝓻𝓮𝓼𝓼𝓾𝓻𝓮, if the force of blood flow through your body is too high, it can stretch and scar -- and weaken -- your blood vessels, including the ones in your kidneys.
- 𝓗𝓲𝓰𝓱 𝓒𝓱𝓸𝓵𝓮𝓼𝓽𝓮𝓻𝓸𝓵, if you have too much bad cholesterol, it can build up in the vessels that carry blood into and out of your kidneys, and that can affect how well they work.
- 𝓛𝓾𝓹𝓾𝓼, this is a disease that makes your immune system attack certain parts of your body. When it affects your kidneys, it’s called lupus nephritis. It causes inflammation and scarring of the small blood vessels that filter waste out of your kidneys, and sometimes in your kidneys as well.
- 𝓜𝓾𝓵𝓽𝓲𝓹𝓵𝓮 𝓜𝔂𝓮𝓵𝓸𝓶𝓪, this kind of cancer involves the white blood cells (plasma) that help you fight infection. The cancer cells build up in your bone marrow, where they crowd out healthy blood cells and make abnormal proteins that can cause kidney problems. More than half the people with multiple myeloma also end up with kidney problems.
- 𝓤𝓻𝓲𝓷𝓮 𝓑𝓵𝓸𝓬𝓴𝓪𝓰𝓮, if you can’t pee, that can mean urine is backed up, and that can damage your kidneys. It can cause pressure and lead to infection in your kidneys and other parts of your body. An enlarged prostate, prostate cancer, kidney stones, bladder cancer, urinary tract blood clots, and colon cancer are some of the things that can cause this.
- 𝓑𝓵𝓸𝓸𝓭 𝓒𝓵𝓸𝓽𝓼, many conditions can cause blood clots, but a blood disorder is commonly linked to kidney problems. It causes clots in tiny blood vessels that also can affect your brain and heart. Symptoms include fever, bleeding from your nose or gums, diarrhea, chest pain, confusion, headache, bruising, and feeling very tired.
- 𝓟𝓸𝓵𝔂𝓬𝔂𝓼𝓽𝓲𝓬 𝓚𝓲𝓭𝓷𝓮𝔂 𝓓𝓲𝓼𝓮𝓪𝓼𝓮, this causes cysts - small sores often filled with fluid - to grow inside your kidneys. That makes them much larger than they should be and damages their tissue. It’s caused by problem genes you get from one of your parents. If it’s not diagnosed and managed soon enough, it can lead to chronic kidney disease and, eventually, to end-stage renal disease.
