Researchers Warn COVID-19 May Wreak Havoc on Kidney Health

(Newswire.net — April 5, 2021) Orlando, FL — The pandemic continues to wreak havoc on the various aspects of life and health of many people. There are many things to know about the virus, and one is that it could negatively affect different organs inside the human body.

According to experts, these particularly include the kidneys as the cytokine storms can be damaging to kidneys. 

It is suggested that the reaction of the body to the infection may also be responsible. In some people, the immune response to this new virus may be extreme and this is how it leads in what is called a cytokine storm. 

Researchers say that cytokines pertain to small proteins that aid in cell communication as the immune system is battling with an infection. It is important to note that when this happens, the immune system is triggered to send a rush of cytokines in the body.

The bad news is that this large, sudden influx of cytokines can produce severe inflammation. In an attempt to kill the invading virus, such an inflammatory reaction ends up destroying healthy tissue including those in the kidneys.

It is particularly important for individuals struggling from kidney health issues to take the steps helpful in protecting themselves from the virus.

It is also wise remember that with or without the virus, it is always important to take the measures found helpful in taking care of the kidneys. 

These include the use of cranberries, which have long been found to have protective benefits to the kidneys. 

According to experts, cranberries may aid in preventing the development and growth of ulcers and bacteria in the urinary tract. What makes it all the more beneficial is that it aids in the management of current bacteria/ ulcers due to their ability to make urine more acidic.

Cranberries are further found to inhibit bacteria from latching on to the bladder. 

The American National Kidney and Urologic Diseases Information Clearinghouse even recommends consumption of cranberry juice to reduce the odds of urinary tract infections (UTIs). 

It could serve as a cleanser to the kidneys due to its ability to eliminate excess water as well as break down fatty tissue. 

Today, the therapeutic effects of cranberry are obtained through the use of certain formulas like Divine Bounty D-mannose. Aside from having cranberry extracts, it also has dandelions that are also considered to be highly beneficial for the kidneys.

Divine Bounty D-mannose is a popular remedy for individuals suffering from urinary tract infections (UTIs) (http://amazon.com/D-Mannose-600mg-Cranberry-Dandelion-Extract/dp/B01LX5KGF0).
