Treat, cure is rare: Higher blood pressure is a common finding 20-30years after kidney removal. Controlling blood pressure is possible, curing is rare. There are many good treatment options to control your blood pressure. Weight loss, exercise, low sodium diet, and NSAID avoidance all together can help lower blood pressure and sometimes delay the need for medications.
