Kidney issues caused by diabetes, high blood pressure, unhealthy lifestyle
Well-known kidney disease specialist Dr. Wahid Khan, while addressing the gathering, said that kidney health has become an important problem in the present times.

Kidney health is adversely affected due to hectic lifestyle, disordered eating habits, excessive stress and inadequate exercise habits.

“We should avoid this because it can cause kidney problems. Therefore, we should consult a specialist,” he said.

The main objective of this is to highlight the importance of a healthy diet, regular exercise, and regular checkups among people.
