How to Prevent and Delay Kidney Failure

Kidney Failure usually exists some reversible worsened factors, if these can be corrected in time, the disease course can be reversed, the renal function can be improved, so as to prevent and delay the coming of the Renal Failure.

1. Infection
The end-stage Kidney Failure and toxic symptoms patients affect by various kinds of toxins, resulted in body’s resistivity worsening extremely, immune function lowering, being complicated by general infection easily, which must cause the further deterioration of renal function damage. So, for the end-stage Renal Failure and toxic symptoms patients whose renal function deteriorate rapidly, existing low fever with unknown causes, and with pyuria or accompanying infected original disease, we should pay more attention to them. Once the infection is found out, the patient should take a treatment actively. After the infection is controlled, the end-stage Renal Failure and toxic symptoms patients can be relieved and even get rid of the condition of end-stage Kidney Failure and toxic symptoms

2 Urinary tract obstruction
After the urinary tract is obstructed, the internal pressure of the upper urinary tract increases. Then, the urine liquid flows back, causing kidney damage, the end-stage Renal Failure and toxic symptoms severer. For the obstruction patients, if they can be removed the obstruction in time, the renal function can be improved to varying extent.

3. Hypovolemia
As the end-stage Kidney Failure and toxic symptoms patients limit the intake of sodium and water, and take some diuretic drug, resulted in the reabsorption of sodium by the renal tubular, causing dehydration, hypovolemia, glomerular filtration rate decrease, and further damage of renal function. If supplied hypovolemia properly, these symptoms may be improved.

4. High blood pressure
The end-stage Kidney Failure and toxic symptoms patients caused by various reasons, whose blood pressure increases suddenly, then, their renal function will be worsened. Maintain the blood pressure in the suitable level, achieving the purposes of both lowering the blood pressure and guarantee the certain renal filtration rate, so as to delay the development of Kidney Failure.

5. Acidosis
When the patient’s CO2-CP is less than 18mmol/L, besides the basic drugs, the doctor should find out the factors of acidosis worsening actively, then, eliminating them, to lighten the symptoms of end-stage Kidney Failure and toxic symptoms patients.

6. Electrolyte disorder
The end-stage Kidney Failure and toxic symptoms patients often have hypocalcemia, hyperphosphatemia, calcium phosphate deposited in kidney, resulted in the further deterioration of the renal function. In addition, as the potassium intake is lack and the using of diuretic drug may cause hypocalcemia, measures should be taken. Otherwise, severe results may be caused.

7. The using of nephrotoxic drugs
While Renal Failure, the drug discharge will be delayed, so, depositing in the blood and tissue easily, causing kidney damage. When the patients take that kind of medicines, the renal damage become worsening, we may attribute to the medicine.

8. General desease
The chronic end-stage Kidney Failure and toxic symptoms can be caused by both primary renal injury and some diseases or general diseases, such as Connective tissue diseases, Metabolic Diseases, and cardiovascular disease etc. If the end-stage renal failure and toxic symptoms are caused or deteriorated by the above diseases, treatment of primary disease timely and effectively can improve the illness condition of end-stage Kidney Failure and toxic symptoms to some extent.

9. Excessive protein intake
The protein content and BUN content in the food for the end-stage Kidney  Failure and toxic symptoms are parallel with the kidney damage degrees. So, protein intake should be determined by the condition of renal function.
