A member asked:
Are there any other way to cure renal disease other than dialysis & transplant?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: It depends on the cause of renal failure of course. Some causes are permanent and cannot be cured; some are only temporary. Some infections, drug reactions, or obstructions (stones, tumors, etc.) can be resolved if treated promptly.
