How can I prevent Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)

Diabetes and high blood pressure are the two leading causes of CKD. The best thing you can do to help protect your kidneys is to keep these in control. Get your blood sugar and blood pressure checked often.

You can also help prevent CKD with other healthy habits. You should:

  • Have regular check-ups with your doctor
  • Eat a low-fat, low-salt diet
  • Exercise most days of the week
  • Avoid tobacco
  • Drink alcohol only in moderation
