How is chronic renal failure treated? |

Text

Treatment aims at controlling the symptoms, minimizing complications, and slowing the progression of the disease. Associated diseases that cause or result from chronic renal failure must be controlled. Hypertension, diabetes, congestive heart failure, urinary tract infections, kidney stones, obstructions of the urinary tract, glomerulonephritis, and other disorders should be treated as appropriately and also treat the serum cholesterol if high. Blood transfusions or medications such as iron and erythropoietin supplements (to control anemia) Fluid intake may be restricted, often to an amount equal to the volume of urine produced. Dietary protein restriction (0.6-0.8 gm/kg/day) may slow the build-up of wastes in the bloodstream and control associated symptoms such as nausea and vomiting. Salt, potassium, phosphorus, and other electrolytes may be restricted. Dialysis or kidney transplant may be required eventually. Psychosocial support plays a major role in improving patient's quality of living. |

Posted on: 05/12/2012 I am overweight and miserable. I am not currently on dialysis and would like to lose weight. If I eat the current high-protein diet I have been put on, I will never lose weight! HELP.

Posted on: 09/26/2011 I live in Lakeland, Florida my father has kidney failure he has been on dialyis for two years now which now he is at the ESRD...End stage of renal disease..that is the white lining developes around the kidney and draws up to nothing,no longer functioning.It is a proving fact that the FDA states the three kinds of medication to produce red blood cells is very dangerous and has caused alot of deaths NOTE:IF YOU HAVE HYPERTENION, DO NOT TAKE MEDICATION...Now what do you do for red blood cells???Kidney patients are not surpose to get blood trans..my father has to get blood trans quite often and now he has congested heart failture,which is from the medication to produce red blood cells or blood trans or BOTH...Is this a catch 22 situation??? My Question is..I know there are other things to produce red blood cells.I need to know what they are..I have heard that some steriods produce red cells..Your red cell count is surpose to read 13 to 14 count i believe..last month my fathers got down to 6.9!!!and more fluid developes around the heart...This is terrible..I pray every day for those you have kidney failture I watch what my father goes through..I hope i didnt effect anyone in a bad way with what i had to say in this comment box..Thank You and GOD BLESS...Tammy Hamann............ |

Posted on: 02/07/2011 If you had all the symptoms of acute renal failure listed on Web MD, but none of them were all that bad, and you felt pretty much normal would you go to the Emergency room, wait and make a doctors appointment, or just chalk it up to being overly sensitive and a hypochondriac?
