From the Research

Hydrophones are not part of the management or treatment of Acute on Chronic Kidney Disease (ACKD). The management of ACKD typically involves a multidisciplinary approach, focusing on treating the underlying cause of the acute deterioration, maintaining fluid and electrolyte balance, adjusting medication dosages, and monitoring kidney function through blood tests like creatinine and BUN levels 1. According to the most recent and highest quality study, the current management guidelines for CKD emphasize the importance of early detection and a multidisciplinary approach to its management, including blood pressure control, glycemic control in diabetic patients, and reducing proteinuria 1. Key interventions in the management of ACKD may include:

  • Medications like diuretics and blood pressure medications
  • Temporary dialysis depending on severity
  • Lifestyle modifications such as dietary changes, physical activity, and smoking cessation
  • Regular monitoring of kidney function and referral to a nephrologist for patients with advanced CKD or other complications 1, 2. It is essential to consult with a nephrologist who can provide appropriate medical treatment based on the specific cause and severity of the condition.
