Patient's question:
Recently, my appetite has been poor, and I've also noticed some swelling in my body. I feel completely exhausted. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it's kidney disease. How is kidney failure treated?Doctor's answer:
This disease is a condition where renal function is partially or completely lost due to various chronic kidney diseases. Currently, the treatment for this disease primarily involves therapy. When kidney failure is caused by insufficient blood supply or excessive blood loss, it is essential to promptly and thoroughly restore blood supply. If the kidneys have lost function, dialysis should be considered for treatment. If conditions permit and a suitable kidney source is available, kidney transplantation can be performed for treatment. Currently, kidney transplantation is the most ideal method for treating this disease.
