Dr. Yang Ziqi
Main medications for renal failure include:
1. Antihypertensive drugs: such as Nifedipine and Amlodipine, used to control renal hypertension and reduce further kidney damage.
2. Detoxification drugs: such as Uritox Clear Granules, Haikun Shenxi Capsules, and Medical Charcoal Tablets, which help remove toxins from the body and reduce the burden on the kidneys.
3. Anti-anemia drugs: such as Erythropoietin, iron supplements, and folic acid, used to treat renal anemia and improve anemic symptoms.
4. Drugs for correcting electrolyte imbalances: such as Calcium Carbonate and Lanthanum Carbonate, used to regulate calcium and phosphorus metabolism and correct electrolyte disturbances such as hyperphosphatemia.
5. Renoprotective drugs: such as Jinshuibao Capsules and Bailing Capsules, which help protect the kidneys and inhibit renal fibrosis.
6. Diuretic and anti-edema drugs: such as Furosemide and Torasemide, used to relieve edema symptoms.
Specific medication plans should be determined by a physician according to the patient's individual condition and physical status. Patients must not take medications on their own.
