Treatment plans

There are various treatments and strategies that may be used to help repair damaged kidneys and improve kidney function.

For example, in some cases, medications or other interventions may be used to address the underlying causes of kidney damage, such as high blood pressure or diabetes. Controlling these underlying conditions can help prevent further damage to the kidneys and allow them to repair and regenerate.

​

Other treatments that may be used to improve kidney function include certain medications that help to improve blood flow to the kidneys or reduce inflammation, as well as lifestyle changes such as a healthy diet and regular exercise.

​

Nutrition and Lifestyle

Lifestyle changes may include dietary modifications, such as limiting salt and protein intake, maintaining a healthy weight, and engaging in regular physical activity. In some cases, certain supplements or alternative therapies may be used in conjunction with traditional medical treatments to support kidney repair.

​

Dialysis care

Other treatments that may be used to help restore kidney function include dialysis, which is a treatment that uses a machine to remove waste products and excess fluids from the blood when the kidneys are not able to do so, and kidney transplantation, which involves replacing a diseased or damaged kidney with a healthy one from a donor.

​

Regenerative therapies

In some cases, experimental treatments or clinical trials may be available for people with kidney disease, including regenerative therapies that aim to promote the growth of new, healthy kidney tissue.

​

It is important to note that the specific approach to kidney restoration will depend on the individual patient's underlying condition, severity of kidney damage, and other factors. Patients with kidney disease or damage should work closely with their healthcare providers to develop a personalized treatment plan that addresses their unique needs and goals.
