Spot Signs of Kidney Disease Before It's Too Late

Risk Factors and Prevention

Certain factors can increase the risk of developing kidney disease. These include diabetes, high blood pressure, a family history of kidney problems, and being over 60 years of age. Lifestyle choices also play a critical role; a diet high in salt and processed foods, smoking, and excessive alcohol consumption can exacerbate the risk. By following the options for a healthier lifestyle—such as maintaining a balanced diet, exercising regularly, and avoiding tobacco—you can significantly reduce your risk.
