Keep An Eye On Your Weight
Since obesity is a chronic kidney disease risk factor, maintaining a healthy weight is vital. Obesity can cause scarring and inflammation of the kidney tissue. Maintaining a healthy weight also reduces your high blood pressure and diabetes risk and helps slow kidney disease progression. While certain factors, such as genetics, may be out of your control, there are still certain things you can do to keep your weight at a healthy level. For instance, you can ensure that there is a good balance between the calories you consume and the calories you burn. This can be achieved by watching what you eat and adding more physical activities to your daily life.
