What medication do you use for kidney failure ?

These medicines include:

• Erythropoietin (rhEPO) therapy and iron replacement therapy (iron pills or intravenous iron) for anemia.



• Medicines for electrolyte imbalances.



• Diuretics to treat fluid buildup caused by chronic kidney disease.



• ACE inhibitors and ARBs.

My question to you is? Have you been diagnosed with kidney faile by a " kidney" specialist. This is not a simple diagnosis. The interventions range from taking certain medications to different types of dialysis. I would most certainly see a Nephrologist

As a dialysis patient, I alwasy take medicines like sodium bicarbonate 3x a day to neutralize acid level, calcium carbonate to help my body block phosphorus absortions from foods containing phosphorus, losartan and amlodipine to help hearth health and multivitamins with iron. Also after dialysis session, we are injected by erythropoietin to help our body increase the hemoglobin level.

Dialysis: Dialysis artificially removes waste products and extra fluid from your blood when your kidneys can no longer do this. In hemodialysis, a machine filters waste and excess fluids from your blood. In peritoneal dialysis, a thin tube (catheter) inserted into your abdomen fills your abdominal cavity with a dialysis solution that absorbs waste and excess fluids. After a period of time, the dialysis solution drains from your body, carrying the waste with it.

Kidney Transplant: A kidney transplant involves surgically placing a healthy kidney from a donor into your body. Transplanted kidneys can come from deceased or living donors. You'll need to take medications for the rest of your life to keep your body from rejecting the new organ. You don't need to be on dialysis to have a kidney transplant.

Consult with doctor. He gives you right advise

I never faced a problem of kidney failure but seen many people who are suffering from kidney failure are generally consult with a specific specialist or doctor for kidney failure. One thing you can do to save yourself from kidney failure is to control your blood pressure.

If you suspect kidney failure, call your doctor immediately. He will most likely advise going to an emergency room.
