With the diagnosis of chronic kidney disease, patients must be afraid of the onset of kidney failure. Then, they will try their best to save their kidney function and slow down the progression of kidney disease. Well, how prolong can they save their kidney function?
The answer is complex, because it depends on not only patients' illness condition but also their treatment plan, lifestyle and diet plan.
According to glomerular filtration rate (GFR), chronic kidney disease can be divided into five stages. The lower GFR, the more severe patients' illness condition.
If their kidney function or GFR is still more than 60, they can reverse their kidney damage completely and save their kidney function forever.
If their kidney function ranges from 15 to 59, the damaged kidney tissues can be repaired and patients can delay the loss of kidney function for a long time.
However, if kidney function has been less than 15, what we can do is to preserve the remaining kidney function and prevent patients' illness condition from worsening.
How to achieve the above goals? The treatments should include four aspects: a healthy diet plan, scientific lifestyle, well management of kidney disease complications, and therapies to save damaged kidney cells.
A healthy diet plan: Kidney disease patients should control their intake of sodium and protein at any stage of kidney disease, and other dietary requirements should depend on patients' illness condition. To get a correct diet plan, you can consult the Doctor online.
Scientific lifestyle: Avoid unhealthy living habits, and keep healthy habits. For example, quit alcohol and smoking and do regular exercise.
Well management of symptoms and complications: With the progression of kidney disease, patients must suffer from various symptoms and complications. Once patients have one or more symptoms, they should take medications to manage them timely.
Therapies to improve kidney function: Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy and Clear Blood Pollution Therapy are two good treatments that can help repair impaired kidney cells, nourish kidneys, and improve patients' overall health condition. Therefore, they can help prevent kidney function from declining and save damaged kidneys.
