    The kidneys filter waste and balance fluid, salts and blood pressure. Most kidney damage is silent in its early stages, so prevention and screening matter.

    Key points to know

    • Control blood pressure and blood sugar.
    • Stay well hydrated unless your clinician advises otherwise.
    • Use painkillers such as NSAIDs sparingly.
    • Ask about kidney function if you have diabetes or hypertension.
