"Is Suffering from Uremia a Life Sentence? Is There a Cure?"
Uremia Does Not Mean the End
Uremia is a disease associated with the deterioration of renal function, and generally, it cannot be cured. However, through standardized treatment, patients' survival time can be extended, their quality of life can be improved, and the progression of the disease can be controlled. Nevertheless, if treatment is not timely, the treatment method is inappropriate, or there is a deterioration of renal function, it is usually more difficult to control the disease.
In cases of uremia caused by acute renal failure, if children receive timely and standardized treatment under medical guidance, partial renal function may be restored, and the progression of the disease can be delayed. Taking medications such as Mannitol Injection and Rhei Radix and Sodium Bicarbonate Tablets as prescribed promptly can help excrete uremic toxins, reduce the toxic effects on the body, and selecting dialysis or kidney transplant surgery based on medical advice, adjusting the diet structure to reduce kidney burden, can also contribute to slowing down kidney deterioration.
If patients fail to receive timely treatment, the deterioration of renal function may progress rapidly, potentially leading to a loss of self-care ability. Improper treatment methods, continuous deterioration of conditions such as massive gastrointestinal bleeding or hyperkalemia, may cause hemorrhagic shock or cardiac arrest. Furthermore, if the renal function itself deteriorates, even triggering complications like metabolic acidosis or uremic encephalopathy, it can significantly harm the patient's health.
It is recommended that patients seek medical attention promptly, actively cooperate with doctors in treatment, delay the progression of the disease, and maintain good health.
