Let’s move on to the treatment and prevention of chorionic kidney failure.

The aim of CKD treatment is to reduce complications, manage associated problems,

and slow disease progression, as there is no cure. Treatment strategies vary by stage:
for stages 1-3, lifestyle changes and medications for associated problems are used;
for stages 4-5, dialysis and kidney transplant may be necessary due to substantial
kidney damage.

The two main associated problems with CKD are systemic hypertension and diabetes.
To manage hypertension, medications such as ACE inhibitors or ARBs are given to
patients under 55, while calcium channel blockers are for those 55 and older or of
African/Caribbean origin. Lifestyle changes include controlling LDL cholesterol,
sodium intake, and regular exercise.
For diabetes management, metformin is used for type II diabetes, while insulin
injections are for type I. Lifestyle changes involve a low-calorie, low-fat diet for type II
diabetes and low sugar intake with regular exercise for type I diabetes.

Dialysis is a treatment for stage 4 and 5 chronic kidney disease (CKD) used to remove
excess fluid and waste from the bloodstream. The two main methods are peritoneal
dialysis, where the peritoneum in the abdomen acts as a filter, draining out small
waste particles like urea and toxins. Electrolyte concentrations, like bicarbonate and
potassium, are controlled in the solution to address electrolyte imbalances.
and hemodialysis, where blood is filtered externally by a machine before returning to
the body. This prevents the of waste and fluid, which can cause uremia and edema.

A kidney transplant is a surgery where a healthy kidney from a living or deceased

donor is implanted into a person with non-functioning kidneys, typically those with
stage 5 CKD. Replacing the damaged kidney with a healthy one eliminates the
problem if the etiological factors are managed effectively.
Preventing associated problems and etiological factors like diabetes and systemic
hypertension can help protect kidney function. By managing these factors, CKD
development may be avoided, preventing chronic kidney failure.
CKD treatment aims to reduce complications and slow progression, with no
cure available. Stages 1-3 involve lifestyle changes and medications, while
stages 4-5 require dialysis or kidney transplant due to significant kidney
damage.

Two main CKD-associated problems are hypertension and diabetes.

Hypertension management includes ACE inhibitors or ARBs for patients under
55, calcium channel blockers for those 55 or older, and lifestyle changes such
as controlling LDL cholesterol and sodium intake, and exercising regularly.
Diabetes management involves metformin for type II and insulin injections for
type I, with lifestyle changes including a low-calorie, low-fat diet for type II
and low sugar intake with regular exercise for type I.

Dialysis treats stage 4-5 CKD by removing excess fluid and waste from the
bloodstream. Two methods are peritoneal dialysis, using the peritoneum as a
filter to drain waste out, and hemodialysis, filtering blood externally by
dialyzer before returning it to the body, preventing uremia and edema.

Kidney transplants replace damaged kidneys with healthy ones from living or
deceased donors, usually for stage 5 CKD patients. Effective management of
etiological factors is essential afterwards .

Preventing and managing associated problems like diabetes and hypertension

protects kidney function, potentially avoiding CKD development thus no
chronic kidney failure.
