Patient's question:
The boss's father had diabetes checked carefully many years ago. This time, when he was hospitalized for discomfort, it was found that he has chronic kidney failure and uremia. How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
If diabetic nephropathy has not yet reached the stage of uremia, it is necessary to first strictly control blood sugar, then use ACE inhibitors or ARBs to reduce blood pressure and decrease proteinuria. Chinese herbal medicine can be used concurrently to reduce creatinine and protect the kidneys. If it has already progressed to the stage of uremia, renal replacement therapy is required, such as kidney transplantation, hemodialysis, or peritoneal dialysis.
