It involves looking at the antecedents (A), behavior (B), and consequences (C) associated with an event to help define the problem and prevent further incidents that may arise if the persons needs are misunderstood. The strongest evidence for non-pharmacological therapies for the management of changed behaviors in dementia is for using such approaches. Low quality evidence suggests that regular (at least five sessions of) music therapy may help institutionalized residents. It may reduce depressive symptoms and improve overall behaviors. It may also supply a beneficial effect on emotional well-being and quality of life, as well as reduce anxiety. In 2003, The Alzheimers Society established Singing for the Brain (SftB) a project based on pilot studies which suggested that the activity encouraged participation and facilitated the learning of new songs. The sessions combine aspects of reminiscence therapy and music. Musical and interpersonal connectedness can underscore the value of the person and improve quality of life.Some London hospitals found that using color, designs, pictures and lights helped people with dementia adjust to being at the hospital. These adjustments to the layout of the dementia wings at these hospitals helped patients by preventing confusion.Life story work as part of reminiscence therapy, and video biographies have been found to address the needs of clients and their caregivers in various ways, offering the client the opportunity to leave a legacy and enhance their personhood and also benefitting youth who participate in such work. Such interventions can be more beneficial when undertaken at a relatively early stage of dementia.
At this point the use of epsilon-aminocaproic acid may be recommended to break down clots but its use can increase risk of obstructive nephropathy.In children, the administration of multiple blood transfusions has been shown to decrease overall kidney damage, but it is unclear how long this effect lasts. Maintaining good hydration is important in those with SCN because of the risk of dehydration from increased urination and there is a major concern of sickle cell crisis that can be prevented with adequate fluid intake.To manage proteinuria a low protein diet should be avoided because of the decrease in energy and growth in those with SCN but limiting protein to the maximum daily requirement without exceeding it is beneficial in retaining kidney function. A low protein diet may be considered in end stage renal disease (ESRD) alongside phosphate binders, and vitamin D, with the potential of using dialysis or kidney transplants. Medications
Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) are beneficial in reducing proteinuria by 50% over a  period of at least six months alongside a slight reduction in GFR but there is an unclear effect in overall CKD progression. If the medication is stopped then the symptoms return to similar levels to what it was before starting the medications. The lowering of nocturia has also been shown most likely from the decrease in GFR. This addition can be done regardless of baseline blood pressure.
