Why do kidneys stop working ! and what can i do to prevent kidney desease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Kidney Failure: The most common causes of chronic renal failure are poorly controlled diabetes and high blood pressure. If you have one of these medical problems, diligent treatment and attention to its management will prevent kidney failure. Other causes of kidney failure are harder to prevent and have strong genetic predispositions.
