### Patient: Doctor, I've been diagnosed with kidney failure. What medications do I need to take?
### Doctor: You will need to take Sevelamer (Renvela) to lower your phosphorus levels, Epoetin Alfa (Procrit) to stimulate red blood cell production, Mycophenolate Mofetil (Cellcept) and Tacrolimus (Prograf) to prevent rejection if you get a kidney transplant. You also need to take Hydralazine and Labetalol to lower your blood pressure. Additionally, Sodium Polystyrene Sulfonate (Kayexalate) and Calcium Acetate to lower your potassium and sodium bicarbonate to balance the pH of your blood. You will also require Calcitriol and Darbepoetin Alfa (Aranesp) to improve your bone health and increase red blood cell production respectively. Finally, Vancomycin is needed to treat any bacterial infections you may get.
