CKD Risk & Awareness Quiz

Diabetes and high blood pressure cause the majority of CKD cases. Heart disease also increases kidney risk.

Body Mass Index (BMI) compares weight and height. Excess weight raises the chance of diabetes and high blood pressure.

These are called NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs). Regular use — especially when dehydrated or with high blood pressure — can stress the kidneys.

Fluid needs vary based on health status, medications, activity level, weather, and clinician recommendations. Some people with kidney or heart conditions may need individualized fluid guidance or fluid restrictions.

Sugary drinks raise blood sugar and add metabolic stress that can affect the kidneys over time.

Alcohol can raise blood pressure and blood sugar in some people.

Excess sodium raises blood pressure and fluid retention, which stresses the kidneys over time.

Most adults need 7–9 hours of sleep. Short sleep is linked with higher blood pressure and poorer glucose control.

Chronic stress can raise blood pressure and blood sugar, both of which affect kidney health over time.

Regular stress management can help protect your heart and kidneys by reducing blood pressure and improving overall well-being.

Regular activity helps control blood pressure, blood sugar, and weight. Most guidelines recommend at least 150 minutes of moderate activity per week.
