How can kidney function be restored better?

Nowadays, many people's kidney function is not very healthy, mainly because they do not pay attention to physical exercise in their daily lives, and they are overworked when they are young. When unhealthy kidney function problems occur, signals will be sent out in advance, so at this time everyone can improve it through exercise and medication.

Chronic renal failure is a common and serious clinical disease with a high mortality rate. Since the early symptoms of the disease lack specificity, most patients do not take it seriously. Once the symptoms become obvious, it is usually in the late stage of the disease and the only option is lifelong dialysis or kidney transplantation. However, there are indeed some cases of renal failure in clinical practice whose renal function is still recoverable to a certain extent. Timely detection of these cases and early active treatment are of great significance for saving patients' damaged renal function, improving their quality of life, and reducing the huge medical expenses caused by renal failure.

So what are the signs that indicate there is hope that the patient's kidney function can be restored?

The following situations may indicate the possibility of improvement:

(1) There is activity of underlying disease. Such as lupus nephritis, vasculitis-related nephritis, crescentic nephritis, etc.

(2) The presence of obstructive factors: such as urinary retention and hydronephrosis caused by urinary stones, tumors, and prostatic hypertrophy;

(3) The presence of complications: If the patient has severe infection, heart failure, severe hypertension, etc., renal function may deteriorate rapidly, and timely correction of these factors can restore renal function to varying degrees;

(4) Conditions in the body that may cause renal hypoperfusion, such as dehydration, blood loss, hypotension, shock, etc. Severe diarrhea, vomiting, excessive sweating, poor appetite, large amounts of pleural effusion and ascites, hypoproteinemia, etc. may all cause renal hypoperfusion and a rapid decrease in urine volume.

(5) Drug factors: Drugs that cause allergic reactions in the body and drugs that are prone to cause nephrotoxicity (antibiotics, anti-tumor drugs, antipyretic analgesics, anesthetics, contrast agents, etc.) are all likely to cause renal tubular cell poisoning, necrosis or tubular interstitial inflammatory reactions, causing rapid deterioration of renal function.
