Once kidney tissues are impaired,they will release and attract more inflammatory factors.These inflammatory mediators can infilter into kidneys and worsen renal function further.The inflammation in kidneys can cause fibrosis and scarring of kidney tissues.Eventually,the kidney tissues will become scarred and kidneys will fail completely.

Therefore,anti-inflammation treatment should be an important part in treating stage 4 CKD.It can stop further renal function deterioration.

In stage 4 CKD,as a large part of kidney tissues has become impaired,to improve renal function,treatment should be used to restore the impaired kidney tissues.
