The kidneys are a vital organ responsible for removing waste from the body. When the kidneys experience damage, the affected individual may start to notice the onset of CKD, chronic kidney disease. This condition causes the kidneys to leak proteins, causing a life-threatening situation if left undiagnosed and untreated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have any previous history of kidney issues, make sure you consult with your physician before consuming any over-the-counter medications. Always adhere to your doctor’s advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best painkillers for kidney problems are OTC solutions containing no aspirin. Aspirin <\/a>can be dangerous for children under the age of 18 years old, causing them to develop a condition known as Reyes syndrome. Use non-aspirin pain killers such as Motrin, ibuprofen, and Advil instead.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are experiencing a fever alongside kidney discomfort, it could be a sign of bacterial or viral infection. If it’s late in the evening and you’re looking for medication to help you relieve the pain and help you sleep until you see the doctor the following day, we suggest you use OTC solutions like Tylenol to help you reduce the pain symptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

11. Acidic Beverages<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Some people are predisposed to the development of kidney stones<\/a>. The kidneys act as a filter for the body, and they require flushing from time to time.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People that don’t drink enough water, typically start developing kidney stones in their late 20s or early 30s. The consumption of carbonated beverages or soda with high caffeine and sugar content isn’t good for your health. However, consuming these products for extended periods of up to years at a time may result in the development of kidney stones. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To avoid the accumulation of kidney stones, you can always try using a kidney flush. We all know it’s essential to drink eight 8-oz glasses of water each day for optimal kidney health. However, drinking acidic beverages can also help to improve kidney health. Juicing with vegetables and herbs, such as basil and celery, is a great way to get these vital nutrients into your body and flush the kidneys. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The consumption of acidic juices can help prevent the accumulation and development of kidney stones. However, make sure you speak to your doctor if you’re dealing with any chronic kidney conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

12. Avoid Oxalates<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

People that are prone to developing kidney stones may find that they are also sensitive to oxalates. Oxalates or naturally occurring substances found in food that bind to calcium <\/a>during digestion. Under normal conditions, the oxalates will leave the body in stool without any issues. However, some individuals may be deficient at removing the oxalates from the body entirely, and these particles may end up in urine.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the oxalate pass through the kidneys, they start to form calcified deposits, which eventually accumulate into kidney stones. People who are experiencing a large kidney stone passing through the organ will often have to deal with excruciating pain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, the pain symptoms occurring with kidney stones are severe, and the patient may have to deal with it for several hours before they eventually pass the stone in their urine. There are many different types of kidney stones. However, the most common or calcium oxalate stones. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are sensitive to developing kidney stones, then you should avoid eating foods such as beets, which are high in oxalate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

13. Drink Citrus Water<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

People who are dealing with severe kidney pain can consume citrus <\/a>water to help him relieve the symptoms. It’s important to note that people who are coping with chronic kidney disease should not be drinking citrus water unless otherwise recommended by their doctor.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, if you have no underlying problems with your kidneys, then drinking water fortified with lemon can help to reduce your kidney pain. The limonoids found in lemons are polyphenol antioxidants that assist with activating the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system is responsible for activating your pain response, and limonoids can help the body with upregulating this system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The majority of limonoids are available in the rind of the lemon. Therefore, we recommend that you juice the entire lemon and focus on the peels. Mix some fresh lemonade and store it in the fridge, sip on it throughout the day, and you’ll notice your kidney pain starts to diminish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

14. Stop Drinking Alcohol<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Consuming alcohol <\/a>is a popular pastime for many people. Having a drink with friends, or a cocktail on the balcony of your hotel is a pleasure that many people enjoy every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, there are times when alcohol takes a destructive role in your lifestyle. People that consume too much alcohol will end up experiencing the onset of disease in many organs in the body. The liver and kidneys are an example of organs that take a big hit from drinking too much alcohol. Severe inflammation in the liver leads to the onset of cirrhosis, otherwise known as scarring of the liver. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The kidneys may also inflame and start to increase blood pressure in the body. If left unmanaged and untreated, the patient may begin to experience the onset of CKD. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Managing your alcohol intake is the best way to avoid any alcohol-related damage to the kidneys or liver in the future. If you are having any problem regulating your alcohol intake, speak to your doctor for advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\r\n
