Acute Renal Failure: An Overview
Preventing Acute Renal Failure

It’s hard to prevent acute renal failure, but there are some things most individuals can do to help lower their risk of developing this condition. Keeping hydrated is important to keep the kidneys functioning at optimum levels. Additionally, healthy lifestyle choices such as following a low sodium diet and exercising regularly help. It is also important to read the labels of over-the-counter treatments, and only take what is recommended. Ingesting too much acetaminophen or ibuprofen along with other over-the-counter medications or supplements can cause acute renal failure. It is also important to visit the doctor regularly, particularly for those at an increased risk of acute renal failure.
