A number of measures can be taken to help protect yourself from kidney failure:

Avoid severe dehydration, especially for those who are in a risk group (such as diabetics).
Diabetics should also make sure their blood sugar levels are kept under control.
Maintain a healthy blood pressure (neither too high or too low). This means having a healthy diet (particularly avoiding added salt) and lifestyle (for example, taking gentle exercise and avoiding stress) and taking medication prescribed by your GP.
Reduce the amount of cholesterol in diets â€“ cholesterol increases blood pressure and thus impairs kidney function.

Take the 5-a-day fruit and veg test
Do not smoke.
