Treatments for<unk>  depend on what caused the scarring of the glomeruli. This is determined by renal biopsy. Immunosuppressive drugs stop proteinuria in some patients, but once the treatments have ended proteinuria will continue. The drugs may sometimes damage the patient's kidneys even more. Controlling the patient's blood pressure may control the progression of kidney failure. ACE inhibitors, a type of blood pressure medicine, preserve kidney function in patients with diabetes. ACE inhibitors may also slow down kidney failure for patients without diabetes. Low protein diets may also lighten the work done by kidneys to process waste. Some patients will need to control their cholesterol through diet or both diet and medicine.
