- Medication: To manage symptoms and underlying conditions, such as antibiotics for infections or drugs to control blood pressure.
- Dietary changes: Low-sodium, low-potassium diets to manage fluid and electrolyte balance.
- Dialysis: For severe kidney failure, to artificially remove waste products from the blood.
- Transplantation: Kidney transplants may be necessary for children with end-stage renal disease.
