Patient's question:
Can the Beijing Institute of Nephrology treat kidney failure?Doctor's answer:
Kidney failure can be divided into acute and chronic types. Acute kidney failure progresses rapidly and is usually caused by insufficient blood supply to the kidneys (such as from trauma or burns), obstruction of the kidneys due to certain factors leading to functional impairment, or damage from toxins, which result in acute kidney failure. Chronic kidney failure is primarily caused by long-term kidney disease. As time passes and the disease progresses, kidney function gradually declines, leading to the occurrence of kidney failure.Guidelines:
1. Appropriate protein intake;
2. Sufficient calorie intake;
3. Pay attention to controlling fluid and salt (sodium) intake;
4. Avoid foods high in potassium and phosphorus.
