Practical Advice for Maintaining Kidney Health
Taking care of your kidneys is essential for overall health and well-being, especially for those undergoing dialysis or at risk for kidney disease.
Top Tips for Kidney Health
Stay Hydrated Wisely
Drink adequate water daily, but consult your doctor about the right amount for your condition.
Follow a Kidney-Friendly Diet

Monitor Your Blood Pressure and Sugar Levels
High blood pressure and diabetes are leading causes of kidney disease. Regular check-ups and medication adherence can make a difference.
Stay Active
Engage in regular physical activity to maintain a healthy weight and reduce the risk of kidney problems.
Avoid Over-the-Counter Medications That Harm Kidneys
Use pain relievers like NSAIDs sparingly, as they can damage kidney tissue over time.
Quit Smoking
Smoking decreases blood flow to the kidneys, reducing their ability to function properly.
