1 # Monitor Your Blood Pressure and Sugar Levels
The two main causes that can affect the health of your kidneys is diabetes and high blood pressure. Excessive sugar in the blood for a long period will damage the delicate millions of cells between the two kidneys.
To your knowledge, the maximum recommended daily consumption of sugar by the World Health Organization (WHO) is only 50 grams (gm).
High blood pressure also can damage delicate blood vessels to your kidneys. This damage can affect kidney function as a 'filter' of fluid that is not needed by the body.
