While there's no cure, managing your hereditary kidney disease symptoms is crucial. At the UPMC Kidney Disease Center, we will work with you to slow the progression of your disease.
People with kidney disease should:
- See your doctor regularly to control high blood pressure and blood sugar levels.
- Stay hydrated. Drink plenty of water and avoid caffeine.
- Contact your doctor right away if you have a bladder or kidney infection.
- Talk with your doctor about safe pain-management drugs.
- Exercise, control your weight, and eat healthy foods.
