5 ways to help protect Renal Failure patients’ remaining kidney function

1. Treat primary disease induced Renal Failure

Primary disease, as its name denotes, is the causes of Renal Failure. By treating the primary disease, one can slow down the progression of Renal Failure. However, different kidney diseases have its own progression and speed, so different therapies should be adopted. Diabetic nephropathy, for example, obtains a quick progression, but with proper insulin treatment, the remaining kidney function as well as its progression can be significantly protected and decelerated.
