When treating the causes of renal failure, such as insufficient blood supply or blood loss, patients will be supplemented with lost body fluids and water; If there is infection, anti-infection treatment should be given.
2. Renal function
Because the kidney has lost its function, doctors will temporarily adopt dialysis treatment (commonly known as kidney washing) to help eliminate toxins and waste in the body; If patients with acute renal failure are not properly treated or unable to control their condition, and their condition evolves from acute renal failure to chronic renal failure, they must be dialyzed for life because of uremia.
Dialysis refers to the selective elimination of certain substances in blood by filtration. In other words, toxic waste, water and salt accumulated in patients with renal failure are removed by manual means, so that the physical condition of patients can be restored to a healthy state. There are two forms of dialysis at present: hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. Hemodialysis uses a special machine to replace the function of the kidney. Peritoneal dialysis uses the human peritoneum as a filter to remove toxins from the body.
Step 3 prescribe diet
Diet control, for patients with renal failure, due to impaired renal function, toxins and wastes produced after food intake cannot be excreted normally, so special attention must be paid to diet to avoid causing physical burden.
4. Kidney transplantation treatment
Some patients with end-stage renal failure need long-term dialysis treatment, and kidney transplantation can bring better quality of life to patients under suitable conditions. However, kidney transplantation is a big project. Although the current medical technology is quite good, it still needs a lot of pre-evaluation to improve the chances of successful kidney transplantation.
Kidney transplantation refers to the process of transplanting the kidney of an organ donor into the transplanted patient through surgery. Possible sources of kidneys: family members, spouses, close friends or brain death, and people who signed up for organ donation before their death. Of course, the best matching kidneys usually come from the brothers and sisters of the recipients, because their genes are most likely to match.
Kidney transplantation is the best way to treat renal failure at present, because the kidney transplanted into the patient can almost completely replace the failed renal function and let the patient live a normal life.
