Reducing stress and anxiety can lower blood pressure, which is good for your kidneys. Ask your healthcare provider the following key questions about your kidney health during your next doctor visit. The NIDDK translates and disseminates research results to increase knowledge and understanding about health and disease among patients, health professionals, and the public. Because late-stage kidney disease can cause waste to build up in the body and cause a number of other health conditions, such as gout, bone disease and heart disease, it's a good idea to protect your kidney health even if you haven't been diagnosed with CKD.
During your next doctor visit, you may want to ask your healthcare provider about your kidney health.
