Kidney Disease
Kidneys are an essential organ that helps filter excess water and waste products out of the blood. Kidney disease causes these parts to stop functioning properly, thus allowing impurities to accumulate in the body. Many factors would contribute to the development of this condition, but family history, heart disease, high blood pressure, and diabetes, are the greatest risk factors. If left untreated, kidney disease would result in other serious health issues, such as malnutrition, nerve damage, and weak bones. In worst cases, both kidneys would stop operating, meaning that dialysis is needed to keep you surviving. [4]
