Patient's question:
Doctor, my father is 59 years old this year. In the past two years, he has been suffering from illness and pain, and we have always longed for him to be cured as soon as possible. However, it has always been contrary to our wishes. Recently, his condition has improved. I would like to ask the doctor, in addition to saving him, what are the treatment options for heart and kidney failure with generalized edema?Doctor's answer:
For your father's condition, it is necessary to rely on medication to control the disease and alleviate symptoms, though it cannot be fully resolved. Common medications for heart failure patients include diuretics, renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers, etc. Follow the doctor's advice to take additional medications correctly. Long-term illness and the recurring nature of heart failure have left the patient unable to live independently, leading to a loss of confidence in treatment. It is also important to provide support and encouragement to help the patient return to work.
