Is there any way to reduce the pain caused by the illness?Doctor's answer:
According to the description, the patient was diagnosed with acute kidney failure, acute kidney failure. Based on different etiologies, acute kidney failure can be divided into pre-renal acute kidney failure, renal acute kidney failure, and post-renal acute kidney failure. During the course of acute kidney failure, patients often need renal replacement therapy to pass through the critical period. Generally speaking, pre-renal acute kidney failure and post-renal acute kidney failure have a better prognosis, while renal acute kidney failure has a relatively poorer prognosis. In 30% of patients, renal function cannot return to baseline levels, and a small number of patients may die due to complications.
