Title: Is it possible to recover from kidney failure?


1
  • A kidney is a bean-shaped organ that is present
    in the lower back area. Each kidney is present
    on each side of the spine. The kidney helps to
    remove toxins from the body and filter the
    blood. These toxins, while going to the bladder,
    are further eliminated when you urinate. You may
    wonder, can kidney failure be cured? The answer
    to this question is yes, Kidney failure can be
    cured and it depends on the treatment plans.
  • Kidney failure occurs when the kidney loses its
    ability to filter the waste.
  • In case you are going through underlying symptoms
    of kidney failure, you may consider the experts

  • What are the different types of kidney failure?
  • There are five major types of kidney failure. Out
    of all these, acute kidney failure occurs when
    your kidney all of a sudden stops working. On the
    other hand, chronic kidney failure occurs over
    time.
  • The five types of kidney failure include
  • Acute prerenal kidney failure This concerns
    insufficient blood flow. It can cause acute
    kidney failure. The kidney becomes unable to
    filter the toxins from the blood without enough
    blood flow. This type of kidney failure can be
    cured once the cause of decreased blood flow is
    corrected.
  • Acute intrinsic kidney failure It is the result
    of direct trauma to the kidneys. The chances of
    trauma may occur because of a sudden fall or any
    major accident. If you will ask, can kidney
    failure be cured in such a condition? The answer
    is yes, only after the condition impacting your
    blood vessels (that have become inflamed) may be
    corrected. This can often result in a lack of
    oxygen and an overload of toxins. It is the
    cause of severe bleeding, shock, and obstruction.
  • Chronic prerenal kidney failure This condition
    takes place when there is not enough blood for
    the kidneys to filter. This can make the kidneys
    shrink. Also, the kidneys may lose their ability
    to filter blood. Under such a condition, kidney
    failure can be cured only after pursuing a
    continuous treatment plan.
  • Chronic intrinsic kidney failure This condition
    happens when there is long-term damage to the
    kidneys due to intrinsic disease. The intrinsic
    disease may result in direct trauma of the
    kidney, severe bleeding, or lack of oxygen.

What are the Symptoms of Kidney failure?
Kidney failures often do not cause or show any
early noticeable symptoms. However, it affects
nearly 90 of people with chronic kidney disease.
Kidney disease is a progressive disease, that
may have the following symptoms
  • Chronic post-renal kidney failure IT takes place
    due to long-term damage of the urinary tract. It
    most often prevents urination. It damages the
    kidneys and there remains no way to remove
    toxins other than urination.
  • a reduced amount of urine
  • swelling of your legs, and other body parts like
    ankles, feet, and fingers.
  • unexplained shortness of breath
  • fatigue
  • persistent nausea
  • Confusion due to loss of blood flow
  • pressure in your chest
  • Coma, in certain severe cases
  • Treatments for kidney failure
  • The answer to the most talked and astonishing
    question can kidney failure be
  • cured? Lies in the treatment plans. These
    treatment plans may vary. This can also give you
    emotional stress, financial stress, and physical
    stress. However, the extent of whether Kidney
    failure can be cured or not depends on the cause
    of kidney failure.
  • According to kidney failure, there are different
    treatment plans. These are
  • Dialysis
  • Dialysis filters and purifies the blood and it
    utilizes a dialysis machine. With the help of a
    machine, you can only restore the basic kidney
    function. Depending on the severity of the
    condition, your doctor may utilize a large
    machine or a portable catheter bag. Dialysis not
    cures kidney failure but can extend the life span
    with each scheduled treatment.
  • Kidney transplant
  • It is another option for kidney failure. A kidney
    transplant may require a donor that matches with
    the patient. It works for a long time, so you
    need not depend on the discussion topics like,
    can kidney failure be cured? A kidney transplant
    gives you a long life that may not require
    scheduled dialysis. But, you may require to wait
    for a long time to get a donor. If you are
    having a donor at your home like your relative or

  • family member, then the process can be done
    within a few hours. However, a transplant may
    not be the right procedure for everyone. There
    can also be chances of unsuccessful surgery. You
    may require to take medications that may also
    show some side effects. In such a condition, you
    may require to talk to your doctor about which
    treatment plan suits you the best.
  • Bring a change in your lifestyle
  • Minimizing the intake of alcohol and smoking
    habits can cause a severe change in your
    lifestyle. Try to prevent the things that hurt
    the blood flow or create a bad impact on the
    function of the kidney.
  • Bring the change in your Diet
  • There is no specific diet for kidney failure.
    However, you should distance yourself from the
    things that may create a bad impact like strong
    spices in food, packed or appealing food that
    may be spicy at some point, etc. You may follow
    the following habits to keep yourself healthy
    all the time
  • Limiting the use of sodium and potassium Try to
    keep a track of these nutrients. Aim at
    achieving less amount of sodium (in the form of
    common salt) and potassium-rich food like
    potatoes, etc.
  • Limiting phosphorus It is good to keep a track
    of your mineral intake. Your phosphorus level
    should be below 1,000 milligrams. Cut down the
    excess consumption of protein. You may also
    recommend your doctor for this.
  • Your doctor may also give you certain guidelines
    regarding the avoidance of food that may boost
    kidney failure. You may need to understand that
    kidney failure means the loss of kidney function
    by 85-90. It may also impact life or may
    interfere with your chances of living. If you
    ask anyone, can kidney failure be cured? The
    answer would be not exactly. There is no cure
    for kidney failure without knowing the exact
    cause of it. You can only work on the symptoms
    and may bring up the chances of living with them.
