Patient's question:
My classmate's mother has chronic kidney failure, which seems to be inherited across generations. She almost doesn't eat anything with soup for dinner, and it can be said that she is even afraid to drink water. Every week, she has to go to the hospital three times for hemodialysis to remove the excess water from her body that her body cannot excrete! Can chronic kidney failure in the late stage, like her, be alleviated?Doctor's answer:
Chronic kidney failure is primarily caused by chronic kidney disease leading to kidney function impairment. Kidney failure indicates that the kidneys have almost completely lost their filtering function, making complete recovery extremely difficult and almost impossible to alleviate. However, if a kidney transplant is performed, the condition can be completely resolved in the near future. Before the procedure, continuous hemodialysis treatment should be implemented. Hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis can replace kidney function in treating the decomposition of metabolic toxins.
