Risk Factors of Kidney Disease
Care Trust Promise
We know that kidney disease can sneak up on you, so it’s important to know the things that can put you at risk for getting it. It is our goal to give you the information you need to take charge of your kidney health.
Diabetes
One of the main reasons people get kidney disease is diabetes. Over time, having high blood sugar can hurt the kidneys’ filtering abilities, which raises the chance of getting chronic kidney disease (CKD). Keeping diabetes under control with medicine and changes to your lifestyle is important to keep your kidneys healthy.
High Blood Pressure
High blood pressure that isn’t under control puts extra stress on the kidneys’ blood valves, which makes them less effective. High blood pressure is a major risk factor for both kidney disease and kidney failure, so it is important to keep an eye on your blood pressure and keep it healthy.
Family History of Kidney Disease
You are more likely to get kidney disease if someone in your family has had it. Genetics can play a part in getting polycystic kidney disease (PKD) or other genetic diseases that affect how well the kidneys work.
Obesity
Diabetes and high blood pressure are two major causes of kidney disease that are more likely to happen if you are overweight. Keeping a healthy weight through food and exercise can make it less likely that you will have problems with your kidneys.
Smoking
The kidneys are hurt by smoking in the same way that the heart and lungs are hurt. It makes the blood flow to the kidneys slower, which makes them less effective and raises the risk of getting CKD.
Excessive Use of Painkillers
Over-the-counter pain killers like ibuprofen and aspirin can hurt your kidneys if you take them too often or for a long time. To keep your kidney health from getting worse by accident, you should always talk to your doctor about how to deal with pain.

Older Age
Kidney function usually decreases with age, which makes older people more likely to get kidney disease. As you age, it’s important to keep an eye on your kidney health to spot any early signs of damage.
Chronic Conditions
Kidney damage can be caused by long-term illnesses like heart disease, liver disease, and autoimmune diseases. Taking good care of these situations can help keep your kidneys healthy.
Dehydration
Being dehydrated for a long time can hurt and cause kidney stones. For healthy kidneys, it’s important to stay hydrated by drinking enough water every day.
