Abstract: | Several factors promote the progression of renal disease, including glomerular hypertension and hypertrophy, molecular factors such as cytokines and growth hormones, proteinuria, acidosis, and hyperlipidemia. Regardless of the underlying etiology, many patients with chronic renal insufficiency will ultimately require kidney replacement therapy. Your goal is to delay the progression of renal failure, mainly through aggressive control of blood pressure. Other possible interventions include protein restriction, bicarbonate therapy, and lipid-lowering drugs. |
