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. What should I do about the left kidney injury?Doctor's answer:
Kidney damage is primarily caused by renal contusion or laceration due to external force. If there is no external force involved, it is generally not easy to cause damage. The first step is to confirm whether the kidney damage is due to kidney injury or other diseases that lead to abnormal kidney function. Therefore, renal ultrasound or CT should be performed for a thorough examination to determine the diagnosis and cause, and then address the issue. If it is confirmed that there is kidney damage, hospitalization is necessary, with absolute bed rest and the use of hemostatic drugs as part of the treatment.
