Eating salt more than required level increases the amount of sodium chloride in (NaCl) in blood and disturbs the balance levels. This can result in effect in capacity of kidneys in filter and removing waste fluids/waters from our body. This damage further can make entire kidney failure, if the effected kidney left untreated well. So the kidney no longer will be in working condition, the wastage removal process is getting stopped.
