Can My Kidney Failure be Reversed

A:

Chronic kidney failure is gradual scarring or damage to the kidneys over periods of time. Kidney function will measure how much renal intrinsic cells are still functioning. The diagnosis of kidney failure is made by Glomerular filtration rate less than 15%. Because the kidneys are not functioning well, the patients can experience multiple complications. Dialysis is only a method to discharge wastes and fluid out of the body, but it is not a method to treat the kidneys. The kidney function will continue to decline and the urine output will become less and less.

There is not a method that will reverse severely lesioned or dead renal cells, so it is difficult to recover of the damaged kidney function as for your current condition. But you have just started dialysis, right? In people at this stage, there are three types of renal intrinsic cells: the healthy ones, which are small in number; the damaged ones; the severely atrophied cells. As for the atrophied cells, none treatment will help. So at present, our attention is to stop further damage to the still functioning ones and improve part of damaged ones.

By means of this, the kidney condition can be improved and the patients can relieve their complications and reduce their dialysis. Only depending on dialysis is not a choice, because dialysis can only remove some toxins, but cannot treat the disease.
