Knowing the Harms of Cigarette to Your Kidneys?

May 31,2012 is the World No-Tabacco Day, as this day is coming, have you gotten a comprehensive understanding about smoking?
The harms of cigarette to the lung and cardiovascular vessels are widely known, but,do you know smoking can also harm your kidney? Ok, let's look at the fact about it.
Each cigarette could produce 4,000 kinds of toxic substances after buring, and those toxic substances, such as cigarette tar and acrolein could enter into blood circulation, so they bring about great damage to the kidneys.
Nicotine contained in the cigarette can accelerate the heartbeat and make the blood pressure elevated, which may induce myocardial infarction and reduce the renal blood flow, thus aggravating the kidney diseases.
Carbon monoxide in the cigarette can hinder the combination of oxygen and heme, so that causes the oxygen deficiency. If this condition continues for a long time, the normal blood circulation would be blocked, thereby, the burden of the kidney increases.
Long-term smoking could leave the blood vessels in a state of highly tension, which could destroy the whole body's micro-circulation system. Besides, smoking is related with the various indicators for kidney damage, especially with the decline of GFR and the appearance of proteinuria.
So, when celebrating the arrival of the World No-Tabacoo Day, you'd better get rid of or avoid the tempt of cigarette for your body as well as your kidney's health.
