The best way to prevent chronic kidney disease (CKD) is to prevent or treat the conditions that trigger it -- including diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. Free screenings, available through the National Kidney Foundation's Kidney Early Evaluation Program (KEEP), can test your kidney function, assess your risk, and give you information that could help you delay or prevent this condition. If you smoke, which could raise your chances of getting kidney disease, ask your healthcare team to help you quit.
