Chronic kidney disease (CKD) treatment focuses on slowing progression and managing complications. Options include:
- Lifestyle changes (low-sodium, kidney-friendly diet, exercise, avoiding NSAIDs)
- Blood pressure control (usually with ACE inhibitors or ARBs)
- Blood sugar control in diabetics
- Managing cholesterol and anemia
- Avoiding further kidney damage
