Patient's question:
Last year, working was really exhausting. I constantly traveled around various places in the country for business. At that time, I worked for four or five months straight, and multiple times I experienced kidney yin deficiency, but I didn’t have much time to treat it. This year, it got worse—I developed kidney insufficiency. How should kidney insufficiency be thoroughly examined? Is the examination cost high?Doctor's answer:
Mainly, it involves conducting urine routine and renal function tests to clarify the condition of kidney dysfunction. These tests typically cost around 50 to 60 yuan. If kidney deficiency occurs frequently, it is recommended to primarily use traditional Chinese medicine decoctions for conditioning and treatment. If urea nitrogen and creatinine levels are abnormal repeatedly, it is essential to identify the fundamental cause of the disease and treat the primary cause accordingly.
