What is the difference between renal function compensation and decompensation?

Hello, renal insufficiency is divided into four stages. The compensatory period and decompensated period you mentioned are the first and second stages of renal insufficiency respectively. Decompensation period is also called azotemia period. The specific four stages, let me tell you:

The first stage, the compensatory stage of renal insufficiency: the serum creatinine is133-177 umol/l;

The second stage, decompensated renal insufficiency (azotemia stage): the serum creatinine is177-451umol/L;

The third stage, renal failure stage: serum creatinine is 451-707 umol/l;

The fourth stage, uremia stage: creatinine is greater than 707 umol/L, you can have a look and get to know it.

If you are diagnosed with renal insufficiency, you need early treatment. The creatinine index in the first and second stages is not too high, so it is not difficult to get effective treatment. The decrease of creatinine and urea nitrogen is completely hopeful.

I am interested in studying some aspects of kidney disease myself. You can try Chinese medicine treatment. For example, some time ago, the famous Chinese medicine "protecting the kidney along the meridian" therapy. Traditional Chinese medicine aims to cure the root cause, protect the residual nephron, improve the glomerular filtration rate and help the kidney to detoxify independently. This is very important.

The above are some of my own research and opinions, hoping to help you.
