The two most common used treatments are dialysis and kidney transplant. Dialysis is a treatment that consists of machines that clean the blood stream. These machines are used because the kidneys themselves cannot clean the blood stream. Here is a picture of the dialysis machines
Kidney transplant is a surgery in which the old kidneys that failed are removed and new healthy kidneys are implanted.
Other treatments are using ACE inhibitors which regulate blood pressure, and keeping a diet and exercising daily help in treating kidney failure.
