The cure for chronic renal failure is:
A- dialysis
B- kidney transplant
C- diuretics
D- force fluids
---------------------------
Renal failure, also called end-stage renal disease (ERET or ESRD), is the last stage of chronic kidney disease. When your kidneys fail, this means they have stopped working enough to survive without dialysis treatment or a kidney transplant.
What causes renal failure?
In most cases, renal failure is caused by health problems that have caused permanent damage to your kidneys little by little, over time.
When your kidneys are damaged, they can stop working as they should. If the damage to your kidneys continues to get worse and your kidneys are less and less willing to do their job, you have chronic kidney disease. Renal failure is the last stage (the most severe) of chronic kidney disease. For this reason, renal failure is called end stage renal disease, or ERET (ESRD).
Diabetes is the most common cause of ESRD. High blood pressure is the second most common cause of ESRD. Other problems that can cause kidney failure may include:
- Autoimmune diseases, such as lupus and IgA nephropathy
- Genetic diseases (born with them) such as polycystic kidney disease
- Nephrotic syndrome
- Urinary tract problems
Sometimes the kidneys may suddenly stop working (within two days). This type of renal failure is called acute renal failure or acute renal failure. The most common causes of acute renal failure include:
Heart attack:
Illegal drug use and drug abuse
There is not enough blood flow to the kidneys
Urinary tract problems
This type of renal failure is not always permanent. Your kidneys can return to normal or almost normal function with treatment and if you have another serious health problem.
Having one of the health problems that can lead to kidney failure does not mean that you will definitely have kidney failure. Living a healthy life and working with your doctor can help you control these health problems and can help your kidneys work as long as possible.
Symptom:
Chronic kidney disease usually gets worse very slowly, and symptoms may not show up until the kidneys are badly damaged. In the terminal stage of kidney disease, when it is near renal failure, you may notice some symptoms that are caused by the accumulation of waste and extra fluid in your body.
You may notice one or more of one of the following symptoms if your kidneys begin to fail:
- Itching
- Muscle cramps
- Nausea or vomiting
- Do not feel hungry
- Swelling of the feet and ankles
- Excess urination or not urinating enough
- Difficulty breathing
- Trouble sleeping
If your kidneys suddenly stop working (acute renal failure), you may notice one or more of the following symptoms:
- Abdominal (belly) pain
- Back pain
- Diarrhea
- Fever
- nosebleeds
- rash
- Vomiting
Having one or more of these symptoms can be a sign of a serious kidney problem. If you notice any of these symptoms, you should talk to a doctor immediately.
Treatment of renal failure:
If you have ESRD, you will need to receive dialysis treatment or a kidney transplant to survive. There is no cure for ESRD, but there are many people living long lives while receiving dialysis treatment or after receiving a kidney transplant.
There are many options to treat kidney failure, including a transplant and various types of dialysis. Your doctor can help you decide which treatment is best for your situation. Learn about treatment options for renal failure.
Adapt to renal failure:
Discovering that you have kidney failure can be a shock, even if you have known for a long time that your kidneys are not working well. Having to change your lifestyle to make time for your treatment may face a new reality even more difficult. You might have to stop working or find new ways to exercise. You can feel sad or nervous. Not everything will be lost. You can get help to feel better and have a full life. Learn more about life adjustments with renal failure.
Complications of renal failure:
Your kidneys have many functions to keep you healthy. Cleaning your blood is only one of these functions. They also control chemicals and fluids in your body, help control blood pressure and help create red blood cells. Dialysis treatment can do some of these functions, but not all the functions that a healthy kidney does. For that reason, even when you are receiving treatment for renal failure, you may have problems due to not having well functioning kidneys.

Preparation for a natural disaster:
We cannot always know when something will happen to interrupt our treatment plans. There are a few simple steps you can take to prepare and have access to the things you need to stay healthy in the event of a disaster. Learn about how to prepare for a disaster if you are living with kidney failure.
Diet for people with renal failure:
Dialysis treatment does some of the functions that your kidneys did when they were healthy, but it can't do everything a healthy kidney does. Therefore, even when you are receiving dialysis treatment, you will have to limit what you eat and drink. Your diet needs may depend on the type of dialysis you are receiving (hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis) and the schedule of your treatment. Learn more about the diet when you are living with kidney failure.
