Patient's question:
I have been suffering from uremia for many years, but recently the condition has become increasingly severe. Which department should I go to for uremia?Doctor's answer:
The medical term for uremia is renal failure. For your condition of having suffered from uremia for many years, it is recommended that if you visit the hospital for a check-up, you can have a urinalysis and a 24-hour urine protein test conducted in the nephrology department. If necessary, a kidney biopsy can be performed. Currently, the main treatments for uremia are hemodialysis and kidney transplantation. Hemodialysis can only alleviate symptoms, and if you want to achieve better results, you may consider kidney transplantation.
