Treatment Options for Your Diagnosis

Foundational care

Start here

Blood-pressure control with ACE inhibitors or ARBs, and SGLT2 inhibitors, are standard first-line therapy for most CKD. Your nephrologist typically starts here.

These are newer and recently approved therapies for APOL1-mediated kidney disease — not the full standard of care. Ask your care team whether any fit your situation.

No FDA-approved therapies we're tracking specifically for APOL1-mediated kidney disease yet. A nephrologist can advise on the best options.
