Polycystic kidney: People with polycystic kidney disease usually have to start on some form of dialysis before they die and microabluminuria is not in blood. You have protein in your urine (P), which can be an ominous sign. You are on olmesartan (O), which can reduce both protein in the urine and hypertension. Ask your doctor if you can have your dose of O increased, that will reduce both your blood pressure and P.

Polycystic kidney: Only 50 percent of persons with polycystic kidney disease progress to kidney failure. Diet is hugely important. Eat only 30 grams of animal protein per day. Make 90% of your diet fruit and vegetables and grain. Avoid saturated fat and cholesterol. Control blood pressure to 125/75-80. Don't smoke. Keep weigh ideal.
