How to deal with a cold and cough in chronic kidney disease?

Patient's question:

My grandfather is getting older and has chronic kidney failure. He has a cold and cough with chronic kidney disease. How should it be treated?

Doctor's answer:

Based on the current situation you have described, the patient is elderly and is currently primarily experiencing multiple occurrences of chronic kidney failure. This condition has recurred multiple times. If the patient has a cold and cough, it may potentially lead to kidney insufficiency. When using medications, it is best to avoid drugs that are metabolized by the kidneys and instead consider using drugs that are metabolized by the liver. This also requires preventing the creatinine level from rising again or significantly.
