  • Title: [Conservative treatment in chronic kidney insufficiency].
    Author: Gross P, Siewerdt D, John A.
    Journal: Ther Umsch; 1994 Dec; 51(12):837-41. PubMed ID: 7784998.
    Abstract:
    Modern therapeutic concepts of chronic renal insufficiency are based on observations showing a retardation of progressive renal failure by therapeutic measures. In the context emphasis is now placed on the treatment of arterial hypertension and on the patient's adherence to a protein-restricted diet. In addition to these conservative measures it is important to avoid nephrotoxins, to hydrate the patient sufficiently and to treat advanced hyperlipidemias. Deficiencies of active vitamin D should be treated by oral vitamin D substitution after correction of hyperphosphatemia. In the treatment of the latter, preparations of calcium carbonate are now the preferred mode of treatment. In advanced renal insufficiency it is important to maintain a salt-restricted diet and to treat any attendant hyperkalemia and hyponatremia.
