What Is The Treatment For Plaque In Arteries And Abnormal Functioning Of Kidney?
I just found out Friday 7/13/12 that I have plaque in my arteries. Hardening of the arteries and my kidney is not functioning at its capacity and my number for functioning is between 53 & 56. In addition, my right arm has been huring me in the shoulder since 12/10/11. How can I help myself?

Hi, Thanks for asking. Based on your query, my opinion is as follows. 1. Control of cholesterol / lipid profile is the best treatment to control plaque in arteries. 2. Atherosclerosis or hardening of the blood vessels is progressive and is not reversible. Only if there is blockage, partial or complete, stenting can be tried. 3. Avoid excessive salt intake, control diabetes mellitus and blood pressure for improving functioning of kidney. Hope it helps. Any further queries, happy to help again.
