This is one of the most important concerns of many new patients with UTI, and the answer is no! In fact, the essence of this question asks whether renal failure can be reversed, depending on the specific situation. Generally speaking, renal failure can be divided into three conditions: acute renal failure, chronic renal failure and acute exacerbation of chronic renal insufficiency. For acute renal failure (now renamed as acute kidney injury), if it can be detected and treated in time, as long as it is not an extremely critical multi-organ failure, the majority of patients can basically restore normal kidney function, and timely dialysis treatment can help reduce complications and facilitate the recovery of kidney function. For some patients with chronic renal insufficiency, their kidney function may be damaged to a certain extent, but not to the point of needing dialysis, and even the patients themselves do not realize that their kidneys are diseased, in this case, if they experience some factors that cause acute aggravation of renal function damage, such as the use of various drugs for kidney damage, sweating or diarrhea causing different degrees of dehydration, infection, urinary tract obstruction, renal vein thrombosis, or If the kidney function deteriorates within a short period of time and requires dialysis treatment, if the kidney function is deteriorated by the use of various kidney-damaging drugs, dehydration caused by heavy sweating or diarrhea, infection, urinary tract obstruction, renal vein thrombosis, etc., or the underlying kidney disease is in an acute active stage. In this case, if the above-mentioned causes of acute deterioration of kidney function can be identified in time, and active treatment is given in time, there is a good hope that kidney function can be restored to the original level and dialysis treatment can be stopped. Likewise, timely and adequate dialysis treatment can gain time for aggressive targeted treatment, which can help the recovery of kidney function. However, in the case of true end-stage renal disease, the kidney function is gradually and slowly declining, and there is no history of rapid deterioration within a short period of time, the whole kidney itself may have been basically sclerotic and solidified, and there is no drug in the world that can repair the kidney and reverse the condition, and renal replacement therapy is the only effective way to save the patient’s life. Therefore, the key to get off dialysis is to see if the kidney itself has the possibility to improve, which requires an experienced nephrologist to carefully consider all kinds of clinical data of the patient before making a judgment. If the patient’s kidneys have the possibility to improve, then timely and adequate dialysis treatment will help the kidney function to improve; if the kidneys themselves do not have the possibility to improve, then dialysis treatment is the only choice. It is worth mentioning that for those patients who already have renal impairment but have not yet reached the point of needing dialysis, there are many therapies and drugs that can play a role in delaying the efficacy of renal decompensation, including a few Chinese medicines, but they must be under the guidance of a specialist physician and receive regular treatment. Don’t be in a hurry to seek medical help, which will cost you your life and money.
