Can Stage 5 Kidney Failure Be Cured?

Stage 5 kidney failure is, in fact, uremia. Uremia leads to significantly elevated serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) levels, resulting in systemic edema, periorbital edema, and pruritus. Therefore, based on the individual’s specific clinical condition, prompt initiation of hemodialysis is required. If feasible, kidney transplantation is recommended; however, complete and permanent cure remains extremely difficult at present, and treatment focuses on optimal management.
