Does treating prostate diseases lead to kidney failure?

Patient's question:

I have a friend who, due to prostate disease, had a follow-up visit and underwent minimally invasive surgery for the prostate. However, a week later, they were re-diagnosed with acute kidney failure! Is this a complication that reappeared after medication?

Doctor's answer:

Excess internal damp-heat flows downward to the lower genital area, causing frequent urination and urgency. It is recommended to use heat-clearing, damp-dispelling, and diuretic medications such as Sanjin Pian for treatment. Acute kidney failure may be caused by drug irritation or abnormal kidney function. For patients with prostatitis, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and maintain regular sexual activity in daily life to avoid prolonged sitting.
