Kidney is the major excretory organ of our body. They can excrete almost
every kind of waste product existing in our blood, including the toxic
substances. As we know many drugs contain toxic substance, so taking too many
medicines will cause renal damage, that is to say, drug abuse will lead to
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD).
As one of the major organs of our human body, our kidneys have function of
removing metabolin from our body. Due to its special ability, our kidneys have
to contact with different kinds of wastes, including the drugs we take.
Therefore, if we take too much drugs or too many types of drugs, then the burden
of our kidneys will be increased. Especially the medicines such as tetracycline,
streptomycin, gentamicin, kanamycin, neomycin, antalgesic and some anti-cancer
drugs, they are of great harms to our kidneys and if we take too much of them,
then our renal function will be impaired easily. Therefore, we should avoid drug
abuse, so as to reduce the damages to our kidneys.
In the past years, people just take for that phenacetin can damage our
kidneys and they do not know the paracetamol which is the substitute of
phenacetin also do harm to our kidneys. In addition, similar to paracetamol,
aspirin also can damage our kidneys in different degree. Thereby, to avoid
damaging our kidneys, we should prohibit drug abuse.
As to elders and women with pregnancy, due to the decline of their organs,
they are more likely to get Chronic Kidney Disease. In this light, if they have
to take some medicines, they must follow the direction of their doctors, so as
to avoid causing damages to their kidneys. Moreover, in our daily life, we
should drink more water, which will promote the excretion of the waste products
in our body. There are many causes of Chronic Kidney Disease and drug abuse is
the most dominant one. Therefore, we should avoid drug abuse strictly in our
daily life. For more information, please email to me or consult our consultant
