How to Protect the Remnant Kidney Function

Protecting the remnant kidney function of patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is beneficial to the deceleration of the disease deterioration, the increase of the surviving rate of people undergoing dialysis and the prevention of complications. It is a rather urgent issue every patient needs to face with when much of his kidney function has been lost. The main measures to keep the renmant kidney function are usually as follows.
First, treat the primary disease. Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease caused by different primary disease will have different severity and speed of kidney function loss. The damage on kidney function caused by Diabetic Nephropathy is often the most serious one. Patients with Lupus Nephritis should have an active treatment for the Lupus even though they are already in the stage of kidney failure. Chronic Kidney Disease aroused by Polycystic Kidney Disease, Chronic Pyelonephritis and Renal Arteriosclerosis can be controlled from many aspects in order to protect the remnant kidney function.
Second, control the blood pressure actively. High blood pressure is a factor that can promote the deterioration of Chronic Kidney Disease caused by any kind of primary disease. Especially among those who undergo dialysis, water and sodium retention and Lipid Disorders will easily be found, and both of them are risk factors for high blood pressure and Renal Arteriosclerosis. Keep the blood pressure in the normal range is so significant for patients with CKD, and another point is the medicine they choose to lower down the pressure needs to have less renal toxicity.
Third, prevent the complications aroused by dialysis and the risk during the process of dialysis. Those who are on dialysis cannot have water retention, and at the same time they cannot lose weight sharply, so in the process of dialysis, the excretion of water cannot be so quickly so as to prevent the occurrence of low blood pressure. Once it happens, the actual blood volume will be inadequate, and kidneys will have less blood, which damages kidney lesion further. The dialysis technique is also important, and patients need to choose dialysis schedule according to specific condition of themselves to protect the remnant kidney function maximally.
Fourth, choose treatment approach which is both effective and safe. Because dialysis is simply a replacement of kidney, and if it lasts for a long time, the original kidney will be useless due to long-term abandon, so the remnant kidney function will be lost quickly. Proper treatment can repair the kidney and help them to remain original function at the same time with dialysis for patients with Chronic Kidney Disease.

The protection of remnant kidney function is really crucial for those who suffer from Chronic Kidney Disease especially in the end stage. All in all, a suitable treatment and proper treating schedule are the most helpful factors.
