How to Prevent Acute Renal Failure
To help reduce your chance of acute kidney failure, take the following steps:
Â

- Drink water and other fluids to stay hydrated.
- Don't take drugs or other substances that can damage your kidneys. Check with your doctor to find out about the potential side effects of any medications you are taking.
