According to a report published in the new issue of the American Journal of Nephrology by researchers from the University of Sydney, Australia, babies who are born underweight may increase the risk of developing kidney disease in adulthood. Researchers analyzed 32 research findings and found that babies born with a weight of less than five pounds (0.45 kilograms) at birth are about 70 percent more likely to develop chronic kidney disease in adulthood than babies born with normal weight.
The lead author of the report, Sarah White, said that studies have shown that restrictions on the growth of the fetus and baby can hinder the normal development of the fetus and baby's kidneys, which can lead to a smaller volume and fewer amounts of renal filter tissue at birth.
We all understand that a baby who is underweight can definitely pose a risk to our adult kidney disease. I personally believe that this is mainly because the mother has physical problems, so women should pay attention to their own physical problems during pregnancy. If there are any problems that require medical treatment, do not delay the time. If you delay the birth of a child, there is definitely a certain risk. There may also be a risk of kidney disease. So please all our mothers must pay attention to their own problems.
The researcher said that although a baby's underweight at birth is associated with a greater risk of developing chronic kidney disease in adulthood, timely preventive measures can effectively protect the kidney if they are taken. The researcher also suggested that during the growth of the baby, we must prevent the body from getting fat, and more importantly, we should actively prevent diabetes, adhere to physical exercise every day, avoid taking drugs that are harmful to the kidneys, and go to the hospital for regular physical examination at a specified time.
