Patients should use medications that are known to cause kidney damage, such as the immunosuppressant cyclosporine (Neoral® or Sandimmune®), the anti-HIV drug tenofovir (Viread®), and the antibiotic gentamicin (Geramycin®), cautiously. Patients should avoid or minimize exposure to heavy metals and other toxins because it may lead to kidney disorders. Patients should drink plenty of water to reduce the risk of developing kidney stones. Patients who are diagnosed with kidney disease should visit their healthcare providers regularly and take their medications exactly as prescribed. This will help reduce the patient's risk of developing complications, including kidney failure.
