12 Risk Factors
5. Lifestyle-related chronic diseases
Lifestyle-related chronic diseases, also known as non-communicable diseases (NCDs), are chronic conditions that do not spread from person to person.
These diseases tend to develop over a person’s lifetime and are often influenced by lifestyle factors such as diet, physical inactivity, and smoking.
Type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure
Type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure are the leading causes of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Managing blood sugar and blood pressure levels can help protect kidney function.
People with a history of heart disease, including heart attacks, strokes, heart failure, and other related conditions, may also be at a higher risk of developing kidney disease.
Being overweight or obese
Being overweight or obese increases the likelihood of developing diabetes and high blood pressure, both of which are major risk factors for CKD. Excess body weight may also directly impact kidney function by making the kidneys work harder to filter waste.

Maintaining a balanced diet, staying active, and managing weight—if needed—are key to preventing and managing these conditions. Regular monitoring and appropriate treatment are also essential, as they can help reduce the risk of kidney disease and its progression.
