- Start date
Kidney failure is usually caused by other health problems that have damaged your kidneys little by little throughout many years, including:
- Diabetes, which is the most common cause
- High blood pressure, which is the second most common cause
- Autoimmune diseases, such as lupus and IgA nephropathy
- Genetic diseases (diseases passed down from one or both parents), such as polycystic kidney disease
- Nephrotic syndrome
- Problems in your urinary tract (organs that make urine and remove it from your body), such as kidney stones
- Smoking tobacco
- Drinking too much alcohol (no more than 1 drink a day for women, and no more than 2 drinks a day for men)
I used to drink a lot of alcohol during my mid 20's to my early 30's and stopped once covid came and it's safe to say I'm stick to drinking water and juice like i've been doing before I started drinking alcohol. I have a mother and grandmother that have diabetes but when I get my blood work done, my doctor told me i don't have diabetes and neither does my father.
So he been battling this disease and still got in the ring? He’s crazy
Mom's had to deal with this. Dialysis for 10 years.
Until I donated my kidney to her.
She's back like she never left. Lol.
Prayers up for Nate. I truly know how hard this is.
