Principles of treatment of renal failure

The kidneys play a detoxifying role in our body. They can excrete excess substances from the body and keep the body running healthily. However, many people's bad living habits have caused certain harm to our kidneys. Kidney function gradually declines, and even kidney disease may occur. In severe cases, kidney failure may occur, which requires our attention. What are the main principles of treatment for renal failure?

There are many symptoms when the kidneys are diseased. Patients will experience nausea and vomiting, and in severe cases, they may even have hematuria, which endangers the patient's life and requires us to actively treat it.

What are the treatment principles for renal failure? For many diseases in life, as long as the word "failure" is involved, it means that the disease is very serious. Renal failure is a common severe kidney disease in clinical practice. The kidneys are important organs for excreting waste from the human body. Once they fail to function normally, the consequences are disastrous. Renal failure can occur in people of all ages and is often difficult to prevent. So, how should renal failure be treated? Let’s see what nephrologists say.

Finding the cause of the disease is the top priority in treating it. Only by finding the cause can treatment be implemented more targetedly. The renal function of patients with chronic renal failure is mainly maintained by the remaining perfect nephrons. Any factor that increases the burden on the kidneys can aggravate renal failure; therefore, harmful factors that induce deterioration of renal function should be actively eliminated, such as controlling infections and reducing high blood pressure. In addition, water and electrolyte disorders and acidosis should be corrected to maintain the stability of the internal environment. For more serious cases, when patients with kidney disease and renal failure develop uremia, emergency measures should be taken to maintain the stability of the internal environment. Commonly used measures include peritoneal dialysis, hemodialysis, and possibly kidney transplantation if necessary.

To treat renal failure, most patients will use hormones. Although hormones are effective, they always have side effects, which is a headache for patients. Dialysis is a method of treating uremia, renal failure and other diseases. In the long term, it will cause the kidneys and other organs to gradually atrophy and fail. A kidney transplant is ultimately necessary, and the survival period is limited. In addition, kidney transplantation is affected by factors such as rejection reactions. Therefore, Chinese medicine should be used as an auxiliary treatment for renal failure to reduce the side effects of Western medicine treatment.

The above content is an introduction to the treatment principles of renal failure. I hope it can be of some help to you. In addition to actively receiving treatment, patients also need to develop good living habits, eat small meals frequently, reduce the intake of irritating foods, quit smoking and drinking, and also exercise regularly to enhance the body's resistance and reduce the occurrence of diseases.
