What are the methods that can treat renal failure? Today I will provide you with some content.
1. Remove triggers, provide targeted treatment, control infections, and correct water, electrolyte disorders, and acidosis.
2. Non dialysis therapy. A low protein and low phosphorus diet can delay the progression of the disease. Adjust protein intake based on renal function, with high-quality protein (eggs, milk, lean meat, etc.) accounting for 50% to 70%. The calorie should be 146.3 kilojoules per kilogram per day, limiting the proportion of plant protein, and replacing rice and noodles with wheat starch, potato or corn starch as staple foods. Supplementing essential amino acids to increase protein synthesis, improve malnutrition and immune deficiency caused by long-term low protein diet, and reduce blood phosphorus. Oral administration of traditional Chinese medicine rhubarb or decoction enema has the effect of reducing bun in mild uremia. Oral adsorbents oxidize starch, which can combine with urea nitrogen or amines in the intestine to excrete with feces and reduce Bun.
If kidney damage is still in the early stage, it can be controlled through medication and diet, but there is no hope of recovery for end-stage renal failure. For chronic kidney failure, there are only two ways to treat it: kidney washing therapy or kidney transplantation.
Kidney transplantation refers to the process of transplanting the kidney of an organ donor into the body of a transplant recipient through surgery. A family member, spouse, close friend, or person who has died of brain damage and signed their consent to donate organs during their lifetime. Of course, the most matched kidney usually comes from the siblings of the recipient, as their genetic compatibility is the most likely.
Kidney transplantation is currently the best method for treating kidney failure, as the kidney transplanted into the patient's body can almost completely replace the function of the already failed kidney, allowing the patient to live a normal life.
Kidney washing refers to selectively removing certain substances from the blood through filtration. That is to say, the toxic waste, water, and salt accumulated in the patient's body after kidney failure are eliminated through artificial means, so as to restore the patient's physical condition to a healthy state. There are two forms of kidney washing used before: hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. Hemodialysis is the use of a special machine to replace the function of the kidneys. Peritoneal dialysis uses the human peritoneum as a filter to eliminate toxins from the body.
What are the treatment methods for renal failure provided by the editor above? I hope it can be helpful to everyone.
