What should I do if I have chronic kidney disease?

  As a nephrologist, dealing with all kinds of chronic kidney disease patients every day, the following two types of patients are particularly prominent: 1, let it go, get by type: do not take chronic kidney disease seriously, and finally to the doctor, the disease is already at an advanced stage, quite a pity.  2, over-medication: over-treatment of patients. This type of patients are often overly panic, talking about kidney disease, wandering between the doctors in various hospitals. In fact, both are not good, so that the whole society’s medical resources are not effectively allocated, the treatment is not effectively treated, the general treatment of over-treatment, doctors are also tired to cope.  So what should I do if I have chronic kidney disease?  Correct diagnosis and treatment and self-management are especially important. First of all, don’t believe in rumors and secret recipes and prescriptions. If you have chronic kidney disease, you should go to a nephrologist in a regular hospital. If you have doubts, you can go to more hospitals and listen to more doctors, which is definitely better than believing rumors, where you can get professional advice. I urge all chronic kidney disease patients to go to regular doctors for at least one or two visits at the beginning of the disease, and it is best if you can do regular follow-up.
