Bacteria fighting drugs or antibiotics can damage the kidneys when used too often.

Some antibiotics like cephalosporins, sulfonamides, and penicillin, are likely to cause problems.

It’s highly important to know about your kidney disease risk. It’s more likely if you or a close relative has heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, or someone in the family who had kidney failure. Specific kidney tests may be suggested by your doctor as part of your checkup. It’s easier to treat if you catch it soon, and sometimes it may even be cured.
