EFFECTS OF MODERN MEDICATION ON KIDNEYS

Its been very helpful in improving the medical care worldwide due to intensive research and advances in technology however as we know that anything that is man-made has to have some side-effects and although there are numerous side-effects of the medicines and treatments we get but in this post I will specifically highlight what affects the functioning of kidneys as it is one of the most rising disease worldwide and approximately each year there are 2 million patients diagnosed with a kidney failure. The medicines that we frequently use every now and then have serious effects on our kidneys and these medicines include antibiotics and pain-killers such as Advil. We use these medicines with a mindset of getting fine as soon as possible without thinking of the consequences that one might have to face in the long run.

It is a very chronic disease to deal with because it does not show any major symptoms and mostly there is swelling on some parts of the body so by the time you realize something is wrong it might be too late as a major indicator is when one's urine stops which mostly means the problem has advanced to renal failure and then it is to be treated with dialysis which is undoubtedly one of the most painful and expensive treatment one can get. It is basically removing the excess water from the body with the help of medical equipment and it has to be conducted more or less three to four times a week.

So to sum it up, what I'm suggesting here is that the pain-killers and antibiotics that we use for minor pains and infections, we should avoid using them because not only they affect your kidneys but weakens your immune system as well, so instead go for home remedies as they are harmless. It might be not appealing to the young audience but kidney failure is not just limited to aged people anymore so it is as beneficial as you can think to avoid using unnecessary medication.
