Kidney Failure Prevention

Prevention

In some cases, you cannot prevent kidney failure. But there are some steps you can take that will lower your risk:

  • Maintain normal blood pressure.
  • If you have diabetes, control your blood sugar.
  • Avoid long-term exposure to toxic substances, such as lead and solvents.
  • Do not abuse alcohol or over-the-counter pain medication.
  • Limit the amount of drugs toxic to the kidney.
  • If you have chronic kidney failure, talk to your doctor before you become pregnant.
