Hydration: And avoiding anything that might harm them, like nsaids. If you have or develop high blood pressure or diabetes manage them aggressively. Ask your doctor if a referral to a kidney specialist is needed. Some of the changes may be related to age, we begin to lose kidney function around age 30.
