What is the effect of painkillers on kidney health?
The kidneys play an integral role in body detoxification, and maintaining a normal blood pressure, ideal levels of important minerals of the body, and a healthy blood pH level, as well as their role in the production of “hemoglobin”. Any malfunction caused by the adoption of certain wrong habits affects their functions, most notably the excessive intake of painkillers that puts the kidneys at risk of inflammations.
The painkiller tablets decrease the excretion of prostaglandin which is responsible for pain relief in the affected areas.
It expands the arteries of the kidneys, thereby facilitating blood flow and thereby improving the blood nutrition that reaches them, but taking painkillers decrease its excretion in the kidneys, thereby reducing the blood flow to the kidneys which is responsible for their nutrition, thereby reducing their functional efficiency responsible for detoxification in the body, causing the toxines deposing on the kidney tissue and consequently their exposure to inflammation.
The effect of painkillers on the kidneys not only causes inflammation, but also causes the retention of fluid and salts in the body. Blood pressure rises, and as it continues to rise, the kidney arteries are distressed and the blood nutrition supply to them decreases.
The exposure of the kidneys to inflammation makes the patient suffer from these symptoms:
High body temperature.
Flank pain.
Increase in urination urge.
Burning sensation during urinationر
Change in urine color, especially if inflammation is severe.
In some cases the urine smells bad.
When these symptoms are felt, the doctor must be consulted immediately, as neglect of the treatment of infections causes the presence of dead cells and bacteria, leading to the formation of stones, which does not stop at this point, but it extends to kidney fibrosis, and may cause kidney failure.
And because the problems that result from excessive intake of painkillers are numerous , we must search for the cause of the pain, whether if its stomach pain, bone pain, or head pain, and avoid it. In case of taking an analgesic, it is preferable to drink large amounts of water to reduce its effect on the kidneys and facilitate blood flow to them.
