Smoking may damage the kidney .. Causes of high protein in the urine of smokers

It is known that people with diabetes are at risk of disruption of kidney function, which results in the exit of protein with urine. It seems that it did not stop on diabetics only as stated in the following report:
A study suggests that kidney function may be disturbed in smokers as it does in people with diabetes. This result was extracted from a scientific study involving 7476 urine samples. It was also found that there is a steady rate between smoking and high urine protein, ie the more smoking the more protein in the urine, and the ability of the kidneys to filter the blood as well.
It was noted that those who quit smoking for at least one year before the start of the study had lower levels of protein in their urine than those who smoked during the study, and that kidney function was also better.
The causes of high protein in the urine of smokers are unknown, but researchers attribute this to the harmful chemicals left by smoking in patients' blood.
The high intake of protein in the urine is an introduction to kidney failure. Other factors may increase protein uptake in people with diabetes and high blood pressure. If smoking is added to either or both, it means that the patient may have kidney failure early.
Life with two healthy kidneys is a thousand times better than life with a cigarette and two failing kidneys.
