How is drug-induced kidney injury treated?

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 drug-induced kidney injury treated?

Doctor's answer:

Generally speaking, drug-induced kidney damage is relatively rare. It is absolutely essential never to use medication blindly and to strictly follow the doctor's instructions. If leg swelling has already started after completing the infusion, it is likely not caused by the medication. At this point, it is important to undergo thorough examinations at a reputable hospital and cooperate with the doctor's treatment. Rest more frequently and consume foods that support kidney health, while minimizing the intake of spicy and irritating foods.
