While some forms of kidney disease are hereditary, many cases are preventable through lifestyle changes. These include:
- Managing Blood Pressure and Diabetes: These conditions are major contributors to kidney damage.
- Maintaining a Healthy Weight: Obesity increases the risk of kidney disease.
- Avoiding Smoking: Smoking damages blood vessels, increasing the risk of kidney complications.
