What Is Uremia?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
10. Treatment
By the time uremia has been diagnosed, your kidneys will already have suffered irreversible damage. While the damage itself cannot be reversed, it is possible to at least treat the patient for their symptoms. The urgent thing to do is to reduce the levels of toxins in their blood straight away.
Removing toxins in the blood can be achieved with the help from dialysis. Hemodialysis in particular involves the use of a machine that will help to filter the toxins from the blood. A kidney transplant will sometimes be necessary to help save the patient’s life, although this is only performed as a last resort.
