Patient's question:
My grandfather is already 60 years old this year. Just recently, he went for a physical examination and was diagnosed with kidney failure. Our whole family was stunned, so we really want to know what the causes of kidney failure are. We look forward to the doctor's prompt reply.Doctor's answer:
The causes of kidney failure are very numerous. Any disease that causes kidney damage can lead to kidney failure. For example, insufficient blood volume can also cause kidney failure. Kidney diseases, especially acute and chronic glomerulonephritis or nephrotic syndrome, as well as interstitial nephritis, or obstructive kidney damage, can also lead to kidney failure. Traumatic injuries or tumors can also cause kidney failure, requiring timely dialysis or alternative therapy for treatment. Kidney transplantation is also a possible treatment method.
