Doctor's answer:

Chronic kidney failure, in clinical diagnosis, if it is in stage 14, the treatment primarily focuses on symptomatic methods, such as correcting acid-base balance and addressing electrolyte and acid-base disturbances. It is essential to undergo hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis at a local hospital during treatment to remove toxins from the body. Additionally, appropriate control of fluid intake and active treatment of complications should be maintained during the treatment period.
