Customer question:
Can we catch a cold in our kidneys? What are the signs? Anonymous customer.
Pharmacist's answer:
A cold is a viral infection that mainly results in complications in the upper respiratory tract - especially the sinuses, nasal area, and throat. It is tough to talk about the fact that we have caught a kidney cold - but kidney problems can have symptoms similar to those you notice with a cold - for example, fever, vomiting, nausea, and the like.
Low temperatures can certainly worsen a person's health problems and, as a result, also of the kidneys, which makes people with long-term illnesses more susceptible to such problems. Therefore, kidney patients must take extra care during the winter months. Even when people lead otherwise healthy lives, caring for themselves and protecting themselves from the cold, even in the colder months, is essential.
Kidneys act as a filter in the body; their main task is to filter blood, regulate electrolytes, produce certain hormones, and remove excess drugs from the body. Optimal kidney function is linked to optimal care of your health in general; if you tend to catch colds more often in the colder parts of the year, take care of your kidneys and wear a kidney belt.
Kidneys are located in body fat and are consequently well protected against temperature fluctuations.
