2

Blood Pressure Control with ACE Inhibitors

ACE inhibitors are first-line therapy to control hypertension and slow kidney disease progression in ADPKD-TSC patients, reducing proteinuria and protecting renal function.

medication
3

Additional treatment options

Regular Renal Function Surveillance

Comprehensive monitoring including estimated glomerular filtration rate tracking, kidney imaging, and blood work to detect disease progression and complications early.

monitoring

Low Sodium and Protein-Modified Diet

Dietary modifications to reduce blood pressure, decrease kidney workload, and slow cyst progression through controlled protein intake and sodium restriction.

dietary

Cyst Aspiration or Laparoscopic Decortication

Surgical intervention to drain large symptomatic cysts causing pain, bleeding, or compression of adjacent structures when conservative measures fail.
