COMMON HABITS ,LIFESTYLE AND OCCURENCE THAT CAUSES KIDNEY FAILURE
The kidneys are vital organs of the human body whose function is to help maintain overall health including filtering waste product and excess fluid from the body. The function of the kidney is closely connected to other vital organs like the heart and lungs. If the kidney begins to have problem and it is left untreated, the other organs like the heart especially will start having problems as well.
Humans needs less than one kidney to function normally. Hence kidney failure may not cause symptoms in the early stage.
Some common causes of kidney failure are:
1. Illicit drug use like heroine, marijuana ,cocaine etc.
2. Untreated infections especially urinary tract infections
3. Overuse of over the counter pain killers like Tylenol, paracetamol, ibuprofen, Panadol etc.
4. Dehydration and starvation
5. Uncontrolled hypertension
6. Uncontrolled diabetes
7. Certain auto immune diseases
8. Excessive bleeding or blood loss
9.Cancer
10. Exposure to chemicals through the skin, mouth, other opening in the body.
11. Pee holding
12. Kidney stones
13. Use of fake drugs
14. Misuse of prescription drugs or overdose.

HOW TO SAFELY CONSUME EGGS AND PREVENT FOOD POISONING
Large number of eggs are consumed daily world wide. Many egg consumers know very little about safe handling of eggs. Egg is an ideal medium for micro-organisms to grow and flourish. One of the most common is salmonella. Salmonella is a bacteria know for causing food poisoning. When egg is handled properly, the risk of contamination is greatly reduced. They can be contaminated outside through the hands, hair, and saliva of people that handle them during preparation. Do not use eggs when the shells are cracked, even eggs when intact may be contaminated by bacteria that penetrates the shell through its numerous pores. Those with cracked shells have greater risk of contamination. Discard eggs with faeces on their shells, faeces have lots of bacteria that can penetrate through the pores of the shell. So washing the eggs to consume will not be helpful.
Do not consume raw eggs, since bacteria grow easily on raw eggs. Instead consume pasteurized eggs, pasteurization kills micro-organisms. Cook thoroughly until egg yolk and white becomes solid. Consume eggs immediately after cooking and discard left overs. Wash hands thoroughly after handling eggs. Do not store eggs with other foods due to the risk of contamination. Studies show that 67% of salmonella food poisoning comes from eggs. Discard eggs after 3 weeks. Refrigerate eggs after pooling, do not add additional eggs after pooling eggs for a while. Use same the same day. Clean kitchen surfaces thoroughly after preparing eggs.
Store eggs in refrigerator.
