Patient's question:
My mother has not been in good health since she was young due to excessive fatigue. Two years ago, my mother was hospitalized for nephritis. Last week, my mother suddenly felt completely weak at home and had blood in her urine. After being taken to the hospital, she was diagnosed with acute kidney failure. I want to ask the doctor if acute kidney failure can be cured.Doctor's answer:
General acute kidney failure can be effectively treated through active medical intervention to eliminate the causative factors, and acute dialysis can stabilize renal function. However, if the underlying cause of acute kidney failure is chronic nephritis, this situation may be relatively more challenging to treat. Therefore, it is currently recommended to promptly consult a nephrology department for follow-up. Based on individual circumstances, early dialysis should be considered, and later, a comprehensive analysis can be conducted based on renal function indicators.
