Cholesterol is a waxy, fat-like substance in your blood. Having high cholesterol and high blood pressure can make you more likely to get kidney disease, heart disease or a stroke.
High cholesterol can also make kidney disease get worse faster. For most people, healthy cholesterol levels are:. Your triglycerides are also important — these are a type of fat in your blood. Talk with your doctor about what your cholesterol and triglycerides levels should be and how you can control them.
Using tobacco smoking or chewing can make high blood pressure and kidney problems worse. If you use tobacco, quitting can help lower your chance of getting kidney disease or help keep your kidney disease from getting worse. Drinking alcohol in large amounts can make your blood pressure go up. By drinking less, you can help keep your blood pressure under control. Here are healthy guidelines:.

Being active can help you control your blood pressure and cholesterol. It can also help relieve stress, another common cause of high blood pressure. If that seems like too much, start slowly and work your way up. Manage other health problems such as diabetes and high cholesterol. You can help lower your risk for heart disease and blood vessel problems with a healthy lifestyle along with medicines.
Do not take ibuprofen Advil, Motrin or naproxen Aleve , or similar medicines, unless your doctor tells you to. They may make chronic kidney disease worse.
It is okay to take acetaminophen Tylenol. If your doctor recommends it, get more exercise. Walking is a good choice. Bit by bit, increase the amount you walk every day. You also may want to swim, bike, or do other activities. Limit or avoid alcohol. Talk to your doctor about whether you can drink any alcohol. Do not smoke or allow others to smoke around you.

A registered dietitian can help tailor your diet to your kidney disease. If you have congestive heart failure or edema, a diet low in sodium intake can help reduce edema and lower blood pressure.
Reducing saturated fat and cholesterol can help control high levels of lipids, or fats, in the blood. People with advanced kidney disease should speak with their health care professional about their diet.
If you have kidney disease, avoid foods and beverages that are high in sodium. Additional steps you can take to meet your blood pressure goals may include eating heart-healthy and low-sodium meals, quitting smoking, being active, getting enough sleep, and taking your medicines as prescribed. You should also limit alcoholic drinks—no more than two per day for men and one per day for women—because consuming too many alcoholic beverages raises blood pressure.
In addition, a health care professional may recommend that you eat moderate or reduced amounts of protein. Proteins break down into waste products that the kidneys filter from the blood. Eating more protein than your body needs may burden your kidneys and cause kidney function to decline faster. However, eating too little protein may lead to malnutrition, a condition that occurs when the body does not get enough nutrients.
If you have kidney disease and are on a restricted protein diet, a health care professional will use blood tests to monitor your nutrient levels. The NIDDK conducts and supports clinical trials in many diseases and conditions, including kidney diseases. The trials look to find new ways to prevent, detect, or treat disease and improve quality of life.
Clinical trials—and other types of clinical studies —are part of medical research and involve people like you. When you volunteer to take part in a clinical study, you help doctors and researchers learn more about disease and improve health care for people in the future.
Find out if clinical studies are right for you. You can view a filtered list of clinical studies on high blood pressure and kidney disease that are federally funded, open, and recruiting at www. You can expand or narrow the list to include clinical studies from industry, universities, and individuals; however, the National Institutes of Health does not review these studies and cannot ensure they are safe.
Always talk with your health care professional before you participate in a clinical study. The NIDDK has supported many research projects to learn more about the effects of high blood pressure on kidney disease including identifying genes related to a cholesterol protein that causes African Americans to be at higher risk for kidney disease.
The NIDDK translates and disseminates research findings to increase knowledge and understanding about health and disease among patients, health professionals, and the public.
