Patient discussions
Provide all patients with advice and support to maintain a low-salt diet, stop smoking, control weight, and exercise.[40] Stress the importance of good blood pressure control and encourage patients to monitor their own blood pressure at home, agreeing on a frequency and target with their nephrologist. Similarly, highlight the importance of strict adherence to prescribed medications.
Routine follow-up with a primary care physician and/or a nephrologist is recommended.
