Question
If someone has kidney disease but doesn’t go to the hospital for treatment, can they eat certain foods or use other methods, like dietary therapy or folk remedies, to treat the kidney disease?
Answer
Patients with kidney disease should use conventional treatment methods, as many folk remedies have not been substantiated and their effects and potential side effects on the body are unknown. There are various factors that can lead to pediatric kidney diseases. If a child is diagnosed with pediatric kidney disease, parents need to cooperate with doctors in actively treating the condition, including gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Children should have a balanced diet and avoid irritating and cold foods.
