How to prevent acute kidney failure?

kidney failure

· Follow instructions on over-the-counter (OTC) medications
Follow the instructions on OTC pain medications such as aspirin, acetaminophen (Tylenol, others) and ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB, others). Taking doses that are too high may increase your risk of acute kidney failure. This is especially true if you have pre-existing kidney disease, diabetes or high blood pressure.
· Work with your doctor to manage kidney problems
If you have kidney disease or other diseases or conditions that increase your risk of acute kidney failure, such as diabetes or high blood pressure, follow your doctor's recommendations for managing your condition.
· Make a healthy lifestyle a priority
. Be active; eat a sensible, balanced diet; and drink alcohol only in moderation — if at all.
. Get a physical every year that includes a urine test to monitor your kidney's health.
. Drink water and other fluids to stay hydrated.
. Don't take drugs or other substances that can damage your kidneys. Check with your doctor to find out about the potential side effects of any medications you are taking.http://www.sos-kidney.com/Symptom/FAQ/114.html#.U9ddQrLs56g
