Kidney disease is one of the more severe health risks linked to obesity. An individual's potential for suffering from this disease increases because of obesity for a variety of reasons. When an individual is obese, they'll have a greater chance of developing high blood pressure and diabetes, both of which are known to cause kidney disease. The extra weight on the body will also place the kidneys under an ample amount of stress that could cause them to be damaged since the kidneys will need to work harder to get rid of built-up waste. If this disease is chronic and is unable to be effectively treated, it's possible patients will eventually suffer from kidney failure.
