The study published in the medical journal Kidney International shows that fairness creams can cause kidney problems. 

Study reveals fairness creams are causing kidney problems in India; all you need to know 

<h2>The study published in the medical journal Kidney International shows that fairness creams can cause kidney problems.&nbsp;</h2>

The study published in the medical journal Kidney International shows that the huge amount of mercury in fairness creams can cause auto-immune diseases like Membranous Nephropathy (MN), a condition damaging kidney filters and causing protein leakage.
The study examined 22 cases of Membranous Nephropathy reported between July 2021 and September 2023. The findings of the study showed that about 68 per cent or 15 out of the 22 were positive for neural epidermal growth factor, - a rare form of Membranous Nephropathy that is more likely to be associated with malignancy or kidney disorder.&nbsp;
Patients at Aster MIMS Hospital presented subtle symptoms: fatigue, mild edema, and increased frothing of urine. Elevated protein levels were common. One patient had cerebral vein thrombosis, but renal function remained intact for all.
"Mercury gets absorbed through the skin, and wreaks havoc on kidney filters, leading to a surge in nephrotic syndrome cases," one of the researchers Dr Sajeesh Sivadas, Department of Nephrology, Aster MIMS Hospital, Kottakkal, Kerala, wrote in a post on X.com.
He also added these creams, widely available in India's unregulated markets, promise quick results, but at what cost? Users often describe a disturbing addiction, as stopping usage leads to even darker skin,".&nbsp;
Dr. Sajeesh also criticized social media influencers and actors for "endorsing these creams" and "promoting their usage in a lucrative industry."

If you are suffering from kidney ailments, make sure to stay away from processed meats which are loaded with salts and preservatives. Here are some more foods to avoid!

While fruits and vegetables are healthy and a must-add to your diet, if you have kidney-related ailments, there are some foods that you must avoid. Kidneys play a vital role in maintaining overall health. They filter waste and excess fluids from our blood. For those with kidney issues like chronic kidney disease (CKD) or kidney stones, it is important to note what you are eating. Here are some foods you should avoid!
<h3>Foods to avoid if you have kidney disease</h3>
If you are suffering from kidney ailments, make sure to stay away from processed meats which are loaded with salts and preservatives. Uncontrolled consumption of animal protein leads to hyperfiltration, i.e. increased workload on the kidneys. This could especially affect people with reduced kidney function.
Pickles have high sodium content and should be avoided by anyone suffering from kidney ailments. You should also steer clear of bananas as they are full of potassium. Replace bananas with pineapples as they are a rich source of vitamin A and fiber and are low on potassium content. One should also stay away from sugary drinks like sodas.&nbsp;
If you are suffering from kidney ailments, stay away from dairy products like milk. which is high in phosphorus.
You should also avoid indulging in processed snacks, canned soups, and fast food. Maintain a healthy diet, drink water and exercise.

Consuming carbonated or aerated drinks can surge the risk of kidney diseases. According to dieticians' diet or non-diet carbonated drinks are poisonous for our kidneys.

Consuming carbonated or aerated drinks can surge the risk of kidney diseases. According to health experts, carbonated drinks are poisonous for our kidneys.

Kidney Health and Kidney Disease :&nbsp;Kidney diseases can happen due to various reasons. Even though drinking enough water, leading a healthy lifestyle and involving physical activities can combat kidney diseases, consuming carbonated or aerated drinks can surge the risk. According to health experts, carbonated drinks are absolutely poisonous for our kidneys. &nbsp;
A 2015 study suggests that drinking more than 4 sugar-sweetened carbonated drinks per week can prone chronic <a href="https://www.editorji.com/lifestyle-news/health/world-kidney-day-2022-expert-shares-tips-on-how-to-ensure-good-kidney-health-1646914862434">kidney </a>diseases.

An operation theatre would be a scary place for most people. But what if the person doing the surgery is not a doctor? And the patient has been lured or cheated into coming for the procedure? And the objective is to steal the patient's internal organs?
This nightmare plays out time and again in different parts of India. This time it is the national capital. More than ten people have been arrested by Delhi police in a kidney racket case.
The gang allegedly transplanted over 20 kidneys, and the procedures were done at a clinic in Gohana, in Haryana's Sonipat. The gang was allegedly led by Kuldeep Ray Vishwakarma, an operation theatre technician. Some of the accused worked at prominent hospitals in the national capital region.

The gang adopted a modus operandi similar to many kidney rackets in the past. They targeted people in dire need of money, and in the age group of 20 to 30 years. The gang used motivational videos and also a Facebook page to lure targets.
Two accused named Shailesh and Sarvjeet allegedly enticed and convinced victims. A person named Latif allegedly helped in conducting the victims' medical tests. Vikas, another accused, helped with accommodation and travel of the victims to Gohana, where illegal transplants were done at Dr Sonu Rohilla's clinic, as per police.
Many such rackets have been busted by police in various parts of India. In 2002, a dangerous operation was uncovered in Punjab's Amritsar. In 2008, a similar racket was unearthed in Haryana's Gurgaon. Surgeries were done at a private house. In 2018, needly recipients were allegedly lured with fake documents at a Kolkata hospital. In May 2022, an alleged kidney racket was busted at Pune's Ruby Hall clinic.
There are multiple reasons why kidney rackets are so common. The biggest reason is demand. India sees around 2 lakh cases of end-stage kidney failure every year, with patients needing either transplant or dialysis. But only 5,000 to 9,000 transplants reportedly take place.
Another reason is that kidneys survive outside the body for 24 to 36 hours, compared to just a few hours for liver and lungs. At ₹5-10 lakhs, the cost of a kidney transplant is also much lower than other organs. Additionally, most urologists are trained to do kidney transplants, and patients do not face undue risks.
Kidney transplant is governed in India by the Transplantation of Human Organs and Tissues Act, 1994. The law reportedly says that organs can be taken from recipient's living close relatives like children, siblings, spouse, grandparents, and grandchildren. Distant relatives, long-term friends, and parents-in-law can also donate, but money can't exchange hands. Swap transplants, and donations from brain-dead and cardiac-dead patients are also reportedly allowed. Living donations are checked by a hospital committee to prevent commercial transactions.
The law also lays down punishments for different types of offences. For removal of human organs without authority, the maximum penalty is a 10-year jail term, and ₹20 lakh fine. For commercial dealing in human organs, the maximum punishment is a 10-year jail term, and ₹1 crore fine.
Despite such strict penalties, organ trade - especially kidneys - continues to thrive in India. Apart from plugging gaps in the implementation of the laws, experts believe that spreading awareness about organ donation from the deceased can help deal with the demand-supply issue to a great extent.
