For chronic renal insufficiency, the following comprehensive treatment measures can be taken:
1. **Medication therapy**: Use immunoglobulin, immunosuppressants, and other appropriate medications, such as methotrexate tablets, according to the patient's condition, to reduce kidney damage.
2. **Other treatments**: Undergo regular hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis to promote the removal of waste products and toxins from the body, thereby reducing the burden on the kidneys.
3. **Surgical treatment**: For patients with severe disease, kidney transplantation may be considered to restore kidney function.
4. **Dietary adjustments**: Maintain a low-salt, low-fat diet and limit the intake of protein, potassium, and phosphorus to reduce the workload on the kidneys.
5. **Lifestyle management**: Avoid excessive fatigue, prevent colds, have regular follow-up examinations, and adjust the treatment plan promptly.
