MAA-MEDIcare Kidney charity Fund

First of all, take preventive measures! A healthy lifestyle plays a big role in delaying the two biggest risk factors for kidney disease. These include:

o Regular exercise
o Healthy diet
o Cessation of smoking and alcohol consumption
o Reduce your weight if you are obese/overweight
o Drink lots of fluids

Put your mind at ease: make it a point to have periodic screening to check your kidney function, especially if you have the risk factors above.
