Caffeine consumption
Although moderate coffee consumption does not pose a health risk, excessive consumption can actually cause kidney damage. Caffeine raises blood pressure, and this really tires out your kidneys.
Abuse of painkillers

Excessive salt intake
When you consume too much sodium, your kidneys work twice as hard, and this affects their long-term health.
Foods that contain a lot of protein
Protein is essential for the proper functioning of your body, but only in reasonable amounts. Foods like red meat, fish, and even eggs can make your kidneys work harder than they should.
Excessive alcohol consumption
Resistance to the need to urinate
When your body tells you to go to the toilet, it is important to relieve yourself as soon as possible. Holding back urine is a bad idea because, in the long run, it can lead to kidney failure or incontinence.
