Patient's question:
My uncle is only 50 years old and has been working all along. However, he suddenly discovered that he has high blood pressure, and his health has started to decline. Subsequently, his kidney function has repeatedly become problematic. How should this be treated? What should be done about incomplete kidney function?Doctor's answer:
Recurring this issue is quite tricky. Before treatment, it's crucial to consider all potential consequences. Hypertension itself requires continuous medication. The best approach for kidney insufficiency or failure is kidney transplantation, followed by dialysis. As for hypertension, it must first be controlled to normal levels before the aforementioned treatments can be performed. Blood pressure-lowering medications that are recommended include those that are kidney-friendly, such as Captopril and Nifedipine.
