- There is a high case of kidney disorders among men in Ghana
- This comes on the back of recent records from the Komfo Anokye Hospital
- Alcohol intake and the use of sex-enhancing drugs have been stated as factors
The intake of alcohol and sex-enhanced drugs continues to kill thousands of young men in Ghana. This comes from records at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital where doctors have linked kidney cases among men to the high intake of alcoholic beverages and aphrodisiacs to emerging trends of kidney diseases.
According to health experts, while in some countries people in their 60s and 70s those often diagnosed to have kidney issues, the situation is different in Ghana because it is prevalent among persons in their 30s and 40s.
“It is a worrying trend to see more people in their prime ages reporting of kidney diseases in Ghana. Elsewhere in world, people in advanced ages of sixties and seventies are diagnosed with kidney diseases but that is not the case in our hospitals,” Kidney Specialist Dr. Elliot Tannor Koranteng stated.
