คุณแม่กินยาเยอะมาก จนกลัวว่าอาจจะเป็นโรคไต...ทำไงดี

<div class="paragraph"></div>
<div class="paragraph">We would like to share information to clear up the common doubt about the phrase <strong><span style="color: #00826a;">“Taking a lot of medicine will damage your kidneys”</span></strong>. Why is that, and how much is considered a lot? Now you will know how to take care of the kidneys of the adults in your household who need to take medication for chronic illnesses every day.</div>

<div class="paragraph">
<h2><strong><span style="color: #00826a;">Know first what the “kidneys” do</span></strong></h2>
<p>The kidneys are organs responsible for excreting waste and substances that the body does not need, by eliminating them in the form of urine. Normally, the kidneys are organs that are easily damaged by chemicals. When the kidneys are severely damaged, their ability to excrete waste decreases even more. As a result, the kidneys cannot remove waste, leading to the accumulation of waste in the body and causing other diseases to follow.</p>

<h2><strong><span style="color: #00826a;">How “medicine” can harm the kidneys</span></strong></h2>
<p>No matter how we receive medicine into the body—whether by oral intake, injection, or even inhalation—once the medicine enters the bloodstream, the body treats it as a foreign substance. The toxicity of the medicine is something the body is always ready to eliminate. This toxicity affects the kidneys in many ways, such as reducing kidney function efficiency, some medicines crystallizing and remaining in the kidneys, and some damaging kidney tissue. These effects can be temporary or permanent, depending on the type of medicine, method of administration, dosage, and duration of use.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong><span style="color: #00826a;">The more kidney problems you have, the more careful you must be with medication</span></strong></h2>
<p>Patients who already have kidney disease, whether kidney failure or kidney impairment, know well that their kidney function is not 100% normal like that of healthy people. Therefore, when taking any medication, they must be more cautious than usual because it may worsen kidney failure or impairment. In cases where medication is necessary, the dosage and duration may need to be adjusted appropriately. However, it is best to be under a doctor’s supervision at all times.</p>
