1. Chronic kidney disease is a prevalent health issue in China, with a growing number of younger individuals being affected. The main causes are unhealthy habits and pathological factors, such as high salt intake, lack of sleep, holding urine for extended periods, high protein consumption, and alcohol abuse.

2. The early symptoms of kidney disease are often non-specific and easily overlooked, such as fatigue, increased nocturia, poor blood pressure control, anemia, and increased menstrual flow.

Regular check-ups are crucial for individuals at higher risk, including those over 60 years old, with diabetes, hypertension, proteinuria, family history of kidney disease, kidney stones, or gout. 3. Unhealthy behaviors can gradually damage the kidneys.

Taking excessive medication, staying up late, consuming too much protein, drinking strong tea, sitting for long periods without urinating, and experiencing excessive fatigue all contribute to kidney damage.

4. To maintain kidney health, it is essential to control blood sugar and blood pressure, seek prompt treatment for illnesses, stay hydrated, and avoid holding urine and staying up late.

In summary, individuals should be aware of the early signs of kidney disease, adopt healthy habits, and have regular kidney check-ups, especially those at higher risk.

Taking these measures can help prevent the progression of kidney disease and the development of end-stage renal disease.
