Patient's question:
My relative was hospitalized last year due to a fall accident, and after a thorough examination, it was found that they have chronic kidney disease, which has already reached the end-stage of renal failure. Sometimes they may experience multiple episodes of hematuria. Currently, they are taking medication, but their condition is still unstable.Hello, how should my relative take care of their condition?
Doctor's answer:
Chronic Renal Insufficiency in the Uncompensated Stage, with relatively severe functional impairment, this condition may quickly progress to uremia. Therefore, timely adoption of dialysis as a replacement therapy is necessary for treatment. Alternatively, artificial kidney methods can be used for treatment, or kidney transplantation can be chosen. It is important to follow a low-protein diet, as animal-based proteins can be consumed, but not plant-based proteins. If edema occurs multiple times, a low-sodium diet is required.
