Dr. Zhao Xinju
Diffuse bilateral renal lesions typically indicate chronic kidney disease (CKD), commonly caused by hypertensive nephropathy, chronic glomerulonephritis, IgA nephropathy, or chronic renal failure. Treatment requires identifying and addressing the underlying cause and should be tailored based on urinary protein levels and renal function. Diffuse renal changes are often accompanied by elevated serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen (BUN). Medications such as Bai Ling Capsules may be used to protect renal function, while Uduqing Granules can help lower creatinine levels. Additionally, strict control of blood glucose, blood pressure, and lipid levels is essential to slow the progression of renal dysfunction.
