Is there a cure for kidney disease?

Answer by  mpartin (1600)

No, there is no known cure. You only can treat the symptoms with diet, what you drink and dialysis. If the condition is chronic then dialysis will be performed more frequently so that the toxins are being flushed out of your system because the kidneys are no longer able to perform their function.

Unfortunately, no. When a person's kidneys are severly diseased or failing, the treatment usually involves a specialized low-sodium or low-potassium diet and a lifelong therapy called dialysis. The kidneys cannot regenerate, so the treatment is terminal, meaning until the patient dies. This is usually caused by advanced diabetes mellitus and hypertension. However, mild-to-moderate damage from other causes usually involves medication.

That is a very broad question. Some problems with the kidneys can be cured with dialysis, medication or even changes in the diet. Other problems require surgery. Unfortunately there are some kidney probles that are at present without a cure. Only a kidney specialist can determine this clearly.
