Patient's question:
My uncle hasn't been doing well with his kidneys in the past two years. He had a thorough check-up at the hospital and was told he has chronic kidney failure. If he doesn't receive proper treatment, it will worsen very quickly. I'd like to ask, do you know any good methods for treating chronic kidney failure?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, kidney failure generally manifests as an increase in creatinine, which is caused by damage to the function of the glomeruli. It typically presents as fluid retention and electrolyte imbalances. In the case of chronic kidney failure, it is necessary to go to a formal hospital to correct the electrolyte imbalances and re-establish the acid-base balance. In addition to using diuretics to alleviate fluid retention, severe cases may require dialysis to completely remove creatinine toxins from the body.
