What are the causes of renal failure?

What causes kidney failure? I think many people have been racking their brains over this question. Kidney failure may be caused by external diet or personal illness. Here are some of the main causes of kidney failure.

1. Improper diet

Improper eating habits, including overeating, long-term hunger, picky eating, and excessive drinking, will damage the spleen and stomach, affecting their functions of digesting food, transforming it into essence, and generating qi and blood.

2. Emotional injury

Long-term emotional discomfort, worry and anger, liver failure to release, liver qi stagnation, and blocked triple burner qi can, on the one hand, go against the will and suppress the spleen and earth, causing liver and spleen disharmony, spleen dysfunction, and water and dampness overflowing; on the other hand, qi movement is blocked, qi and blood circulation are unfavorable, which can cause qi stagnation and blood stasis, or liver depression for a long time, which turns into fire, and liver fire burns kidney yin, leading to liver and kidney yin deficiency.

3. External invasion

If kidney disease is not cured after long-term treatment, the function of internal organs will decline, the qi, blood, yin and yang will be weak, and the body will be weak in defending against external pathogens, which will make it easy for the body to be invaded by external pathogens. This may be caused by wind evil, or by insufficient yang in the body. The cold and wind will invade the stomach and intestines, and the cold will attack the middle jiao, causing the stomach to lose harmony and descend, and the stomach qi will rise. Or because of living in a damp place, wading in water and rain, the water and moisture will invade the middle jiao, blocking the spleen, and the qi and blood will be insufficient.

4. Overwork

Long-term heavy physical labor and excessive fatigue will damage the spleen and kidneys; excessive drinking and sex, early marriage and multiple children will damage kidney qi, lead to insufficient kidney yang, weakened life gate fire, failure of fire to warm the earth, and deficiency of both spleen and kidney.
