    Stick to a vegetarian diet. Avoid meat.

    Some herbs are said to help, of which urtica semen is supposedly good. See:
    Urtica semen reduces serum creatinine levels.

    At the bottom of this page, you will see the following name and address:
    Herbalist and Alchemist Inc, 51 S Wandling
    Avenue, Washington, NJ, 07882 - 3537

    The Mother tincture used in the study was provided by them and as this Mother tincture (a Homeopathy medicine form) is not available in the market... not in India, anyway... you might have to contact them for it.
    I think it would be worth the effort to do so.

    This is another website you can get information about herbs that help to protect the kidneys.
    Mary Ann Liebert, Inc. - Alternative and Complementary Therapies - 13(1):18

    But none of these other herbs are said to act so specifically as Urtica semen, as that article and study claim.

    Juice of the fruit of Citrus medica (mahalung) also helps. The fresh fruit is available in some parts of India.

    Please do not take any herb without medical advice, though.
