Con t r ol of h igh blood pr essu r e This also slows progression of chronic kidney
disease. It is recom m ended to keep blood pressur e below 130/ 80 m m Hg if one has
kidney disease. It is often useful to m onitor blood pressure
(http:/ / www.lloydhealthcare.org/ hyper tension-high-blood-pressure-sym ptom str eatm ent/ ) at hom e. Blood pressure m edications like angiotensin converting
enzym e (ACE) inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blocker s (ARB) are recom m ended
in pr otecting the kidneys.
Dialysis It articially rem oves waste products and extr a uid from blood when
kidneys can no longer do this. In hem odialysis a m achine lter s waste and excess
uids from blood. In peritoneal dialysis a thin tube (catheter) inserted into your
abdom en lls your abdom inal cavity with a dialysis solution that absorbs waste and
excess uids. After a period of tim e the dialysis solution drains fr om body carrying
the waste with it.
