Your kidneys filter blood and remove waste from your body. But fairly common health conditions and risk factors can affect their ability to function properly. Here's a quick breakdown of how common risk factors can increase your risk of developing kidney disease:

High Blood Pressure

When high blood pressure constricts, narrows, and eventually damages blood vessels — especially in your kidneys — it can result in your kidneys not functioning properly.

Diabetes

High blood sugar from diabetes can damage blood vessels in your kidneys. Over time, it can result in loss of kidney function.
