4. Medication
If you are sick then there is a good chance that you will be prescribed medication to help cure and/or treat the condition. Modern medicine is, generally speaking, very good at helping to make us better. Many types need to be used with considerable caution, however.
Medication is designed to do certain things to the body. This means that while it works as intended in one way, it can also have unintended effects in others. This can include affecting the functioning of the kidneys, and this means that some drugs may not be suitable for everybody. Some cancer treatments might also contribute to kidney disease in some cases.
