What are treatments for chronic kidney disease?

What are treatment options for chronic kidney disease? Well really it depends what the cause of the chronic kidney disease is. If diabetes is causing your chronic kidney disease, control the diabetes. If recurrent urine infections are causing your chronic kidney disease, treat the urine infections. The medical team will try and understand why are you getting them. you've got kidney stones, we'll seek advice as to how to resolve the kidney stones. There is no specific treatment per se for the chronic kidney disease, it is addressing and modifying what's causing it. However, if we're unable to or with the best will in the world, some people are unlucky, chronic kidney disease progresses to end stage kidney disease where the kidneys have essentially failed, at which point we are lucky enough to have renal replacement therapy or kidney replacement therapy available to us and some people will have heard of that it's called dialysis, haemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis or of course the gold standard is kidney transplantation.
