What are the treatment methods for kidney failure?
Disease description:
I have been feeling a lot of pain in my lower back recently, so I went to the hospital for a checkup. The doctor told me I have kidney failure. May I ask the doctor what are the treatment options for kidney failure?

The treatment for renal failure mainly includes the following aspects:
1. General treatment: Ensure adequate rest, avoid overexertion, maintain a reasonable diet, and control the intake of protein and sodium to reduce the burden on the kidneys.
2. Medication therapy: Use antihypertensive drugs (such as amlodipine besylate tablets), diuretic drugs (such as bumetanide tablets), and others to control symptoms and correct disturbances in water, electrolyte, and acid-base balance.
3. Dialysis therapy: For patients with severe renal failure and significantly elevated indicators such as creatinine, peritoneal dialysis or hemodialysis can be performed to remove toxins and excess water from the body.
4. Surgical treatment: Kidney transplantation is the ultimate treatment for renal failure, suitable for patients who have completely lost kidney function and are eligible for surgery.
5. Etiological treatment: Actively treat the underlying diseases that cause renal failure, such as controlling hypertension, diabetes, and others.
