Question
A friend’s mother suddenly lost her ability to eat and drink water, experienced swelling all over her body, and couldn’t urinate. After being transferred to a major hospital in the provincial city for examination, she was diagnosed with kidney syndrome. She spent two months in the hospital, but the situation was not optimistic.
Answer
Kidney syndrome is not a terminal illness and can be cured. With continuous treatment and good lifestyle care, the lifespan can be quite similar to that of the general population. However, if left untreated, the condition can progress rapidly and become fatal. Please persist with treatment and focus on bed rest. The food choices should be high in calories, high in protein, low in fat, low in sodium, high in calcium, and rich in vitamins.
