What are the treatment options for diabetic nephropathy?
Treatment for diabetic nephropathy focuses on managing diabetes and blood pressure to slow the progression of kidney damage. This includes:
Maintaining tight control of blood sugar levels through medication, diet, and exercise. Using ACE inhibitors or angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) to control blood pressure and reduce proteinuria. Adopting a kidney-friendly diet low in salt, protein, and phosphates. Monitoring kidney function regularly through blood and urine tests.
