Don’t wait for kidney problems to tell you something is wrong.
Your everyday choices can help protect your kidneys.
5 risks you can take action on:
1. Diabetes → Know your numbers.
Keep blood sugar controlled and get regular screening.
2. High blood pressure → Check it regularly.
Work with your healthcare provider to keep it in a healthy range.
3. Obesity → Start with one healthy change.
Move more, choose nourishing foods, and work toward a healthy weight.
4. Heart disease → Protect your heart, protect your kidneys.
Stay active, eat well, and manage cholesterol and blood pressure.
5. Long-term NSAID use → Don’t self-medicate regularly.
Talk to your provider about frequent use of ibuprofen or other pain relievers.
You don’t need to change everything overnight.
