What is the treatment for renal arteriosclerosis?

Renal artery sclerosis affects renal vascular function, which is mainly of two types: benign and malignant. Treatment of renal artery sclerosis must be timely to avoid worsening of the disease. Renal artery sclerosis may also lead to multiple function failures, so you should also pay attention to proper physical exercise.

1. Renal artery sclerosis, secondary to hypertension, can be clinically divided into benign and malignant arteriolar nephrosclerosis. The former has a longer course, generally 20 years, but a small number of patients (1%-8%) will turn into the malignant stage during the disease. If not treated in time, they often die within 1-2 years. The latter progresses rapidly, renal function deteriorates sharply, and enters renal failure and uremia in a short period of time, often accompanied by multiple organ function decline such as heart and brain. If not treated in time, the mortality rate will reach more than 50% within 3 months and 90% within 1 year.

2. Renal artery sclerosis, like systemic arteriosclerosis, is an inevitable result of age, diet, physique, and genetic factors. Everyone will have it. Reduce fat intake: Eat less fried foods with a high content of "saturated fatty acids" and foods containing "high cholesterol" such as shrimp, liver, kidney and other internal organs, egg yolks, etc.

3. Do not smoke and prevent passive smoking: Tobacco poisons cardiovascular endothelial cells, damages the function of the endothelial system, can cause myocardial hypertrophy and thickening, affect normal contraction and relaxation movements, and can cause a decrease in "good" blood lipids HDL.

4. Maintain a moderate amount of physical activity: The amount of physical activity should be determined according to the original physical condition, and should be gradual. It is not advisable to force yourself to do strenuous exercise. It is best to insist on no less than 30 minutes of activity every day. It can be completed "all at once" or divided into 3 times, each time for 10 minutes.
