Kidney failure treatment with conservative medications

The main goal of kidney failure treatment with conservative medications is to improve the quality of the patient’s life and renew the kidneys’ functions as much as possible if it’s doable. Confirmation of kidney failure diagnosis is essential to future treatment as it helps avoid unnecessary medical treatment sessions and possible side effects. Also, conservative (drug) therapy can help to get more time before kidney transplantation or other therapy options becomes available. Diuretics are the primary medication that helps to manage the condition of patients with kidney failure. They were created to stimulate urine production and improve kidney functions to some extent. Pain syndrome accompanies kidney failure in more than 75% of cases, so various analgesics (including opiates) and NSAIDs can be handy too. Patients with kidney failure will likely face high blood pressure at some point. Hence, managing this parameter is necessary to improve the quality of life. Diuretics can help decrease blood pressure, but many patients might need more medications to keep it low. Statins, amlodipine, beta-blockers, and enalapril are on the list of those drugs.
