Question
Can the Beijing Nephrology Institute treat kidney failure?
Answer
Kidney failure is categorized into acute and chronic forms. Acute kidney failure occurs due to insufficient kidney blood supply, kidney damage, or exposure to toxins, leading to rapid deterioration in condition. Chronic kidney failure is primarily caused by long-term kidney diseases, where kidney function gradually declines over time and leads to the development of kidney failure. Here are some treatment guidelines:
- Appropriate protein intake.
- Adequate calorie intake.
- Precautions in controlling fluid and salt (sodium) intake.
- Avoiding foods high in potassium and phosphorus.
