Hydration, blood pressure control, diabetes care and appropriate medicine use are all important parts of protecting kidney health.
Know your risk factors
Diabetes, high blood pressure, family history and some long-term medical conditions can increase kidney risk. Routine medical follow-up may include blood and urine tests when appropriate.
Avoid unnecessary medicine use
Some medicines can affect kidney function, especially when used frequently or in people with existing kidney disease. Ask a qualified clinician or pharmacist when you are unsure.
