Renal insufficiency is a category of nephropathy syndrome complex, and the treatment measures for patients at different stages of the disease vary.
How to implement standardized treatment for different stages of renal insufficiency? How to improve the prognosis and therapeutic effects in the long term? How can we regain health as quickly as possible? This text will tell you what to do.
The treatment of renal insufficiency can be approached from various aspects.
1. Etiological Analysis.
The most effective method of treating a disease is to treat the underlying cause of the illness.
Based on the analysis of the causes leading to renal insufficiency, treating the primary disease is the first and essential step in managing renal insufficiency.
For example, if the development of chronic nephropathy leads to chronic kidney failure, then it is advisable to first treat the chronic nephropathy.
Given that long-term diabetes leads to chronic kidney failure, treatment must first address the diabetes, followed by symptomatic care for chronic kidney disease.
2. Symptomatic treatment.
Symptomatic treatment refers to the therapeutic approach aimed at addressing a series of symptoms experienced by patients with renal failure, such as anorexia, nausea, and other gastrointestinal symptoms; anemia, hemorrhage tendency, etc., in the blood system; fatigue, memory impairment, etc., in the nervous system; skin itching, etc.
3. Dialysis and Renal Transplantation.
If renal failure patients cannot effectively control the progression of the condition, leading to end-stage renal disease (ESRD), then dialysis treatment is necessary. In some cases, kidney transplantation may be considered.
Dietary treatment for renal insufficiency is now becoming increasingly common. As the disease progresses and the duration of illness increases, it can lead to other complications, such as gout, which in turn accelerates the deterioration of renal function.
Therefore, in addition to conventional medication treatment, appropriate nutritional supplementation and dietary structure are also significant aids in helping patients recover.
Let's now introduce the principles of dietary therapy for kidney failure and a few simple diets.
1. 15g of black fungus, 50g of jujubes.
Soak the wood ear mushrooms in water, and then mix them with dates and cook in a pot until the wood ears swell. Add sugar to taste.
Vitamin supplementation and caloric supply are suitable for patients with renal insufficiency.
2. Prepare an appropriate amount of each ingredient: millet, jujubes, red beans, fresh yams.
Stick the Chinese yam into small pieces, add mung beans, red dates, and adzuki beans to the water and cook until done.
For patients with renal insufficiency anemia, it is suitable for oral administration. It has the effects of strengthening the spleen and promoting water excretion, harmonizing the stomach and nourishing blood.
3. 100g (or 500g) of Mulberry, 250g of honey.
Sang seng (mulberry) is placed in a pot, and enough water is added to make it into a thick paste. Then add 250g of honey and boil until the paste becomes thick. Take this medicine.
Indicated for patients with renal insufficiency and kidney yin deficiency, it is also effective for treating insomnia and irritability. It has the effects of nourishing blood and supplementing kidney, moisturizing and enriching blood.
What to Eat for Kidney Failure: What to Eat for Kidney Failure? Treatment of Kidney Failure Can Be Treated with Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) treatment often focuses on promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis as well as reducing dampness and clearing turbidity to achieve therapeutic effects. Therefore, it is recommended that patients should control their blood pressure during the treatment period, correct anemia, ensure appropriate nutrition, and strictly prevent the occurrence of infections such as colds.
Astragalus, rhubarb, cordyceps, salvia miltiorrhiza, and ligusticum chuanxiong, among other single-ingredient traditional Chinese medicines, can have a certain effect in treating renal insufficiency.
Astragalus: Astragalus can promote the degradation of extracellular matrix in patients, playing an anti-fibrotic role and thus delaying the progression of kidney disease.
Gotu Kola: Can reduce the 24-hour urinary protein excretion in patients, lower blood lipids, improve creatinine clearance rate, and has a preventive and therapeutic effect on glomerulosclerosis.
Rheum palmatum: The extract of Rhubarb can effectively reduce the proliferation of renal tubular epithelial cells and decrease their metabolism, thereby alleviating the damage to healthy renal units caused by hypermetabolism.
Cordyceps sinensis: it can inhibit the compensatory hypertrophy of renal glomeruli in patients, obviously reduce the pathological changes to kidneys and especially has a obvious effect on the pathological change of tubular interstitial.
Salvia miltiorrhiza: can improve the blood flow dynamics by improving capillary osmotic pressure difference, lower blood pressure and improve renal function, inhibits proliferation of fibroblast.
Ligusticum Chuanxiong: Ligustilide can inhibit cell proliferation of renal glomerulus and improve the blood flow in the kidney.
Furthermore, Chuanxiong Zheng also inhibits the formation and development of progressive renal interstitial fibrosis.
Is it possible to cure renal failure? Yes, with the right treatment and active cooperation with nephrologists, it is possible to cure the disease.
Before treating renal failure, it is essential to understand the causes of renal failure.
As is well known, the kidneys have a particularly strong metabolic function. Typically, the majority of the kidney's functions are in a state of "rest", with only a small portion being active. If blood creatinine and urea nitrogen levels rise, it indicates that the kidney's storage capacity has been utilized, but not yet sufficient to maintain normal bodily functions, leading to elevation in various indicators.
In the initial stage of renal failure, it is crucial to seize the opportunity for standard and systematic treatment. If one overlooks this optimal period and inadvertently triggers complications due to various causes (such as colds or fevers), there is a high risk of exacerbating symptoms to the stage of uremia.
This is a common mistake made by many patients. Initially, they think nothing of it, but when it progresses to uremia, regret is useless.
All patients with renal insufficiency, regardless of their stage (early, middle, or late), clinical evidence shows that taking Chinese medicine is beneficial and the best treatment method. The primary approach is to use Chinese medicine, supplemented by Western medicine mainly for the treatment of complications such as hypertension, heart disease, infection, etc.
Modern pharmacology confirms that Chinese medicine can restore a considerable portion of renal function. For patients with early kidney damage, if the injury is not severe, it is entirely possible to return to normal function.
