Prognosis
Provided an early diagnosis occurs, prognosis is usually excellent, and a large part of kidney function can be saved, depending on the treatment chosen. If kidney damage has already occurred, high blood pressure may be present and this must be controlled to prevent further damage to the kidneys. This can be controlled with medication. Absorption of calcium from the digestive tract may also be a problem due to unactivated vitamin D. Again, calcium or activated vitamin D supplements can reduce this problem.
