Take Care With Antibiotics
Bacteria fighting drugs, known as antibiotics, can damage your kidneys if you use them too often. It can happen even if you’re perfectly healthy, while it’s more serious if your kidneys already don’t work well. Some types of antibiotics, like penicillin, sulfonamides, and cephalosporins, are most likely to cause problems.

It’s very important to know your risk for kidney disease. It’s a lot more likely if you or close relatives have heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, or a family history of kidney failure. Your doctor might suggest specific kidney tests as part of your regular checkup if this is the case. The sooner you catch it, it’s easier to treat, and sometimes even cure.
