Risk factors
Anyone can get kidney disease, but some people have a higher chance of getting kidney disease because they have one or more risk factors. Common risk factors for kidney disease include diabetes and hypertension (high blood pressure). Other risk factors are race, ethnicity, family history, heart disease, obesity, and smoking or using tobacco. Having one of these does not mean that you will get kidney disease. But if you do, and you find and treat kidney disease early, you may be able to prevent it from getting worse.
