Woman lost both kidneys before turning 30:
Kidney Failure Rising in Young Adults
Cases of kidney failure among young people are increasing, surprising doctors and the public alike. A young actress’s diagnosis of end-stage renal failure under 30 has drawn attention to the issue.
One 1994-born carpenter in Hanoi, who had no prior health problems, was diagnosed after feeling constantly tired. Another case involved a university sophomore who collapsed and was found to have advanced kidney failure. He admitted to “staying up late, eating fast food, and avoiding exercise.”
Doctors say kidney failure is no longer limited to older adults. “Poor diet” and “lack of exercise” are major risk factors. High-protein diets can lead to kidney stones, while sedentary habits contribute to obesity and metabolic disorders.
Symptoms often appear late, so routine check-ups every six months are crucial. “Early detection greatly improves outcomes.” Experts urge young people to eat balanced meals, stay active, and maintain a healthy weight to prevent kidney damage.
