Treatment
Treatment goals vary depending on what the doctor finds and the severity of symptoms.
Medicines may include medicine to treat high blood pressure and to lower serum lipid/cholesterol levels. Other treatments for renal failure or other complications may be appropriate.
Taking care of yourself is important to reduce progression of the disorder. You may need to reduce fats and cholesterol in your diet. If you have renal failure, you may need to restrict protein, salt, and fluids, or make other dietary changes. Your doctor may also recommend other lifestyle changes. Stopping smoking is extremely important, increasing exercise, weight loss, and a variety of other things may also help.
