Many ways can help minimize or reverse chronic kidney failure, especially when it is diagnosed in the early or moderate stages. Stage 3 kidney failure is the moderate stage, so patients should seize the opportunity to minimize or reverse their kidney damage.
According to the characteristics of kidney failure, the following ways can help reverse patients’ kidney damage.
Protein leakage and blood pressure management
It is reported that good control of protein leakage and blood pressure can slow down the progression of kidney disease. This is especially effective for patients whose kidney disease is caused by diabetes.
Normally, protein in the urine should be less than 150mg/24h. Kidney patients should keep their blood pressure at or below 130/85. If they have diabetes or proteinuria, the ideal blood pressure should be 125/75 or lower.
Lifestyle changes like exercise, taking in less salt and protein, losing weight, preventing infections, etc, and correct medications can relieve patients’ proteinuria and high blood pressure effectively.
Blood glucose control
With the changes of lifestyle and eating habits, many patients have diabetes. Long-term diabetes can cause kidney damage. In this condition, patients should control their blood sugar actively and tightly. If necessary, patients may need to use insulin rejection or an insulin pump. When they take other diabetic medications, make sure these medicines won’t cause burden on kidneys.
