Abstract

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a disease characterized by a progressive decline in kidney function that requires assistance in the form of dialysis machine replacement therapy to replace kidney function. Hemodialysis with a hemodialysis machine must be carried out routinely 2-3 times a week and continuously for the life of the patient. In addition to hemodialysis or routine dialysis, CKD patients also have to consume relatively large amounts of drugs which, if not consumed regularly, will trigger an acute condition that may worsen kidney function.
