Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala has endowed man with two kidneys. These glands are actually located below the ribs, towards the abdomen, on the right and left side of the waist. The kidneys are 11 cm long, about 7 cm wide and 2 or 3. Each kidney contains more than 1 million tubular glands, nephrons, or filters (membranes), with an estimated 1,500 litres of blood flowing through the kidneys in 24 hours.
The function of the kidneys is to remove waste, harmful, and excess substances from the body. The kidneys maintain a balance of water and salts in the body. For example, in addition to the amount of calcium, potassium and phosphorus in the body, water and other salts must be present in the body to some extent. Its deficiency can lead to many diseases. Man cannot survive, the function of the kidneys is to maintain a balance between these substances, salts and water.
The kidneys produce many of these beneficial hormones for the body. If these hormones are depleted in the body, anaemia develops. According to the United Nations, 500 million people worldwide suffer from kidney disease. In which it is increasing by 8% annually. Every tenth person in Pakistan suffers from kidney disease. In other words, about 20 million people in Pakistan suffer from various kidney diseases.

There are many causes of kidney failure, some of which are as follows: Inflammation of the kidney membrane, membrane filter or nephron. If it does not work, if it gets damaged for any reason, then the membranes attached to it also start getting damaged, which causes the kidneys to stop working.
This causes fat or blood to start in the urine. The most common cause of kidney failure is the inflammation of the membranes. The second cause is diabetes and high blood pressure. If you have diabetes, it is usually after 10 to 15 years. Kidney disease occurs. Therefore, diabetics should be very careful and try their best to control diabetes.
In the same way, high blood pressure can lead to kidney damage. It is very important for patients with high blood pressure to control their blood pressure. Failure to do so can lead to kidney attack as well as heart attack and stroke.

I cause stones, these stones cannot be excreted in the urine, there are sores in the lining of the kidneys, which cause inflammation which gradually leads to kidney failure.
Dehydration is the third leading cause of kidney failure. Inflammation of the membranes, diabetes, blood pressure, dehydration, etc. If we look at it, it is all due to dehydration, in addition to the lack of clean water. included. Research from around the world has shown that obesity affects the kidneys the most as the rate of obesity is increasing significantly in the world, including Pakistan, due to overeating, overeating while lifestyle, junk foods.

Transplantation is the only treatment. Kidney disease is treated according to its type and stage. Usually, 50% of kidney failure is caused by diabetes, blood pressure, kidney infection, etc., if they're If treated, it can prevent further damage to the kidneys.
