The kidneys filter over 1,700 liters of blood daily, making them one of the body's most vital detoxification organs. They not only remove waste but also regulate blood pressure, produce red blood cells, and maintain bone health. However, if kidney function begins to fail, the body will send out a series of warning signals—Hong Kong residents need to pay attention!

The most common cause of kidney disease: Diabetic nephropathy
High blood sugar can damage the tiny blood vessels in the kidneys (nephrons), causing blood to leak and resulting in protein loss in the urine. Long-term high blood sugar can damage nephrons, leading to chronic kidney disease and even requiring dialysis.
Seven early symptoms of kidney poisoning:
- Decreased urine output: Water seeps into the tissues, causing edema, which in turn reduces urine output.
- Frequent urination but small urine volume: The body retains water, but excretes little, resulting in "pitted edema" around the eyes and ankles.
- Ammonia-like odor in urine, body odor, and breath indicates that the kidneys are unable to eliminate waste, leading to toxin accumulation.
- Foamy urine: This may indicate excessive protein, possibly due to the kidneys' inability to filter it.
- Feeling cold easily: The kidneys cannot produce enough red blood cells, leading to anemia.
- Dry, itchy skin: Toxin buildup affects skin health.
- Persistent fatigue: Decreased kidney function prevents the body from effectively detoxifying, leading to low energy levels.
Kidney disease and liver disease are closely related
The kidneys and liver are the body's main detoxification organs, and they influence each other. Patients with kidney disease often also have liver problems, and their symptoms may overlap.
Three dietary principles for improving kidney function:
- Reduce carbohydrate intake, especially sugars and grains : replace them with vegetables as your carbohydrate source.
- Avoid refined grains: as they offer no benefit to the kidneys.
- Complete abstinence from alcohol: The kidneys are already damaged, and alcohol will only worsen the burden. It's not about "reducing" it, it's about "completely quitting" it!
- Consume adequate amounts of high-quality protein: Choose eggs, fish, and grass-fed meat.
- Avoid processed proteins such as protein powder and soy protein isolate.
Hong Kong people need to be discerning: Kidney health can't wait!
If you have any of the above symptoms, don't delay any longer. Starting today, adjust your diet, reduce sugar and alcohol, and choose high-quality protein and plenty of vegetables to help your kidneys reduce stress and restore function. Kidney disease doesn't develop overnight, but early detection and treatment can prevent you from needing dialysis!
