What should be done if the elderly have kidney failure?

Patient's question:

My great-grandfather recently said he wasn't feeling well and went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor said it was kidney failure. The whole family is very worried. Can this still be treated? How should we deal with kidney failure in a 90-year-old?

Doctor's answer:

The early symptoms of kidney failure patients are mainly unclear causes of anemia, abnormal urine output, edema, etc. Generally, the more severe the kidney damage, the more severe the anemia, and the more pronounced the yellowing of the patient's face. His body remains in the interstitial tissue, leading to the recurrence of edema symptoms in patients. Low-protein diet. Patients with edema and hypertension should follow a low-sodium diet. In the late stage, without edema, with large urine output, more water should be consumed. In the early stage, with edema, with small urine output, drinking should be cautious.
