Medical Therapy

Prompt treatment of some causes of azotemia can result in restoration of kidney function; delayed treatment may result in permanent loss of renal function. Treatment may include hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis, medications to increase cardiac output and increase blood pressure, and the treatment of the condition that caused the azotemia to begin with.

Contraindicated medications

Azotemia is considered an absolute contraindication to the use of the following medications:

• Ethacrynic acid
• Mannitol
