Medical - Medical: Pharmaceuticals
Spanish term or phrase: se mantiene con tratamiento
Estoy haciendo una traducción certificada de un informe médico corto:

"...quien consultó por presentar valores de colesterol y triglicéridos por encima de lo normal. Con sobrepeso se indica combinación sumvastatina/ ezetimiba 10/20 con lipofibrato 100 mg una diaria. Con buen control de sus valores de lípidos. **Se mantiene con tratamiento** y se instruyó cambios en el estilo de vida."

Entiendo que el paciente acudió a consulta por altos valores de colesterol y triglicéridos y el tratamiento recetado funcionó (la química sanguínea muestra niveles normales de colesterol y triglicéridos), por lo que el médico decidió mantenerlo además de indicarle que debería cambiar de estilo de vida.

¿Estará bien traducirlo como "I decided to keep (patient's) treatment" o algo similar como "I decided to maintain (patient's) medication" (and recommended changes in lifestyle)?

Muchas gracias

Explanation:
Hola Yvonne, ¡espero que estés bien!

You could say "treatment" instead, or "medication."

Y estoy de acuerdo con tu interpretación de lo que dijo el médico.

  -> yo también! Gracias!
agree  Thomas Walker: This may be one of those cases where the idiomatic English equivalent could use future tense: it [the condition] will be kept under treatment.

  -> Joseph tiene razón, Tom. Me utilicé del "it" porque no sabemos el género del paciente. Gracias!
neutral  Joseph Tein: It's the patient who is kept under treatment, not the condition. // (Yvonne says "el" paciente ... presumably the gender is stated in some other part of the report.)//Also: one way to deal with unknown gender in English is to use "he/she."
