Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist,i can understand your concern.
The diet has to be strictly controlled and follow these instructions :
1. Ensure you take restricted proteins,especially red meat.Salt up to 5g/day.
2. Smoking should be stopped completely and red wine in limited amount.
3.Ensure that B.P.'s normal at all times. No medication should be skipped.
4.Keep creatinine,sodium,potassium,urine albumin and ACR,in normal limits.
If you've any doubts,send the reports to me,as a direct question.
