How to treat acute kidney injury with vasculitis

How is acute kidney injury in vasculitis treated?

Repeated attacks of vasculitis can easily stimulate and damage the internal tissues of kidney blood vessels, causing patients to experience symptoms of acute kidney injury, the most common of which are oliguria, anuria, electrolyte imbalance, edema, etc. Once these abnormal symptoms occur, symptomatic treatment should be carried out to eliminate the harm and restore health.

1. Drug treatment

Acute kidney injury caused by vasculitis can be treated with drugs to eliminate the harm and restore health. However, it should be noted that when conducting drug treatment, it should be targeted to avoid abuse and harm to health. If the patient has severe symptoms such as cerebral edema, pulmonary edema, and hyperkalemia, diuretic treatment or blood purification drug treatment can be considered to relieve discomfort and restore health. In addition, during drug treatment, you can also follow the doctor's advice and combine physical therapy for comprehensive treatment to promote disease recovery.

2. Kidney transplantation

If the patient's acute kidney injury symptoms have not improved after drug treatment, and there are no contraindications, kidney transplantation can be considered. Only in this way can the lesions be completely removed and a healthy life be restored. However, it should be noted that this surgical treatment method has certain contraindications and is not suitable for every patient. A comprehensive examination must be done before proceeding. Only suitable patients can use it to control the disease, reduce harm, and protect their own health.

Acute kidney injury caused by vasculitis can be treated with the two methods introduced above, which can help to quickly eliminate the harm and restore a healthy life. In addition, patients should be reminded that during the recovery period of acute kidney injury treatment, they should not ignore related life care, such as low-salt diet, control of protein intake, avoidance of nephrotoxic drugs, quitting smoking and drinking, controlling weight, increasing exercise, taking medication on time, regular follow-up visits, etc. Doing these can assist treatment, improve the curability of the disease, and enjoy a healthy life.
