Patient's question:
How to treat chronic kidney disease effectively? My kidney function has been poor since childhood. I often have difficulty urinating, and experience frequent urination, urgency, and incomplete urination. I feel like my life has been affected by it, which makes me very frustrated. The doctor said it's chronic kidney disease. What treatments are available?Doctor's answer:
Chronic kidney disease may lead to multiple episodes of kidney failure, so it is necessary to adopt dialysis therapy as early as possible. This can help remove metabolic waste from the body, reducing the damage to normal cells and tissues caused by metabolic waste. It can also correct imbalances in electrolytes and acid-base levels. Daily dietary management is important, with a low-protein diet being recommended. Animal-based proteins can be consumed. If there is edema and high blood pressure, a low-sodium diet should be used.
