What Are Common Medications For Chronic Kidney Disease Stage 3

Once people are diagnosed with a certain disease, they generally take oral medicines to alleviate symptoms. Kidney disease has a severe impact on human beings. Let’s learn the common medications for stage 3 chronic kidney disease (CKD).

Common medications for kidney disease include the following:

1. prednisone

Prednisone is used for many different indications including: asthma, allergic disorder, ulcerative colitis, adrenocortical insufficiency, hypercalcemia, multiple sclerosis, nephrotic syndrome and lupus and as a part of a drug regimen to prevent rejection post organ transplant.

2. dipyridamole

Dipyridamole is a medicine which helps inhibits thrombus formation when given chronically and cause vasodilation when given at high doses over a short time.

3. cellcept

Patients after kidney transplant can take cellcept to prevent rejection reaction. Cellcept, ciclosporin and adrenocortical hormone can be applied together.

4. lotensin

Lotensin is a strong and active angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor which can decrease surrounding obstruction of blood vessels but does not lead to retention of metabolic fluid. This can reduce workload on the body. Lotensin can improve sugar tolerance of diabetics and be used to treat high blood pressure.

Since some kidney disease patients will have fluid retention in the body, which makes less use of efficacy of medications. What’s more, dialysis will filter some medication by artificial kidneys. Some medications have severe damages on kidneys so this will aggravate the medical conditions.

Although western medicines have amazing effects on relieving kidney disease symptoms, they cannot repair the kidney damage, and patients will get kidney failure. Therefore, they should choose some effective treatments which can repair damaged kidney tissues and improve the kidney function. In this aspect, the combination of Chinese medicines and western medicines is proven to be the best and effective treatment for kidney disease.
