Nephrologist Prof. Dr. According to the information given by Abdullah Özkök, one of the most common kidney diseases in the society is diabetic nephropathy due to diabetes.

Noting that the gradual increase in diabetes frequency due to many factors such as unhealthy diet, increase in obesity and sedentary life may cause an increase in the cases of diabetic nephropathy in the near future, Prof. Abdullah Özkök gave the following information about other problems related to kidney diseases:

"The second most common disease causing kidney disease is hypertension. I can say that increased salt consumption here has very bad effects. According to the records of the Turkish Nephrology Association, the cause of kidney disease in 36 percent of patients with end-stage renal disease is diabetes, and in 26 percent hypertension. Other The most common causes are glomerulonephritis, polycystic kidney disease and kidney stones.Polycystic kidney disease is a genetic disease, the genetic transmission rate of the disease is high.Therefore, when this disease is detected in a family member, other family members should also be examined.

Likewise, some types of glomerulonephritis and stones can be passed on genetically and familially. Therefore, it is beneficial to check people with a family history of kidney disease in terms of kidney health.

Reminding that the kidneys have important duties such as the elimination of toxic substances in the body, the secretion of hormones that provide fluid balance and blood production, Prof. Dr. Abdullah Özkök said, “The kidneys that do not work well cause many problems such as accumulation of toxic substances in the body, inability of the heart to contract well, fluid accumulation around the heart, vascular occlusions and calcification in the vessel wall, fluid accumulation in the lungs due to excess fluid accumulation in the body and pulmonary edema, anemia due to insufficient hemoglobin production. It will bring it along,” he said.
