Easy availability and convenient preparation methods have made fried food a preferred choice among individuals. This leads to unintentional intake of high amounts of sugar and salt. Although these seem like a harmless dietary choice, in the long run, it leads to critical health issues such as kidney stones, UTI infections, and prostate gland enlargement.
If left untreated, increased infections may cause possible cancerous changes in the kidney. In some patients, even after surgical intervention, kidney cancer cells may develop some form of metastatic spread to the lung, bone, liver, and brain.
This advanced stage of cancer requires immediate diagnosis and treatment.
