Drink a reasonable amount of water every day, make sure you avoid nephrotoxic drugs like excessive NSAIDs, some antibiotics like aminoglycosides and high salt intake and avoid excessive protein loading. Disease wise, people who have diabetes and high blood pressure that is not controlled will destroy kidneys quickly.
