Hi thanks for asking question in HCM.
Allow me to know you the fact that there is no single curative treatment available for it.Treatment will definately delay the renal complication and need for transplantaion and dialysis will be delayed.
ACE inhibitors are the best drug use for secondary hypertension.
Meat and dairy product has to be taken minimum.TAKE LESS GLUTEN IN DIET.Take low protein diet.
The ultimate effective treatment for end stage disease is renal transplantation.
In your case regular monitoring has to be done. Enalapril like drug will be helpful to you.
I hope my suggestion will help you.
I find this answer helpful
