What treatment methods are used for kidney failure?
Disease description:
Hello, Doctor. Due to work-related constraints, I frequently hold my urine for extremely long periods, which has led to kidney failure. I’m afraid this may progress to uremia if left unaddressed. I’m now extremely anxious—what treatment options are available?

If uremia develops, prompt evaluation and treatment by a nephrologist are essential. For renal insufficiency and uremia, dialysis therapy is required; conservative management with oral medications alone is ineffective. Additionally, it is important to investigate and treat any underlying primary kidney disease. Measures to reduce the kidney’s workload—such as adhering to a low-salt diet and carefully controlling fluid intake—are also critical.
