Renal failure patients will take dialysis when serum creatinine rises as high
as 445umol/L in most of countries. Indeed, dialysis can help us clear away the
toxins in the body such as creatinine, which is known to all of us. However, all
patients want to stop dialysis and hope that one day, their own kidney can work
normally again. In addition, they also consider the side effects and
complications of long time dialysis, which goes as follows:
Firstly, long time dialysis can lead to the atrophic kidney. After that,
there will be less blood flow in the kidney, so urine can not form accordingly.
In this case, kidney failure patients have to take dialysis more times than
before.
Secondly, dialysis can also cause hypophosphatemia. What’s worse, for some
patients, they may have insufficiency of breathing. If we add phosphorus
1.3mmol/L in the dislysate, we can avoid hypophosphatemia.
Thirdly, chronic kidney disease patients who are under dialysis can also lead
to the alkalosis. A large amount of basic group can correct the metabolic
acidosis in patients with renal failure, while those who are poisoned as a
result of medicine and toxins do not have acidosis, so alkalosis can come into
being and patients may also feel nausea, headache, weakness. What’s worse, some
may even have cardiac arrhythmia.
Last but not least, peritoneal dialysis in particular may easily lead to
infection, which can be operated at home by patients themselves or their family
members.
Considering this, patients all want to stop dialysis. What the method they
will choose? Stem cell and Chinese Medicine have been applied in clinic, which
has achieved good effect. The mechanism of stem cells is as follows: in renal
failure stage, there must be necrotic cells, which lead to renal fibrosis and
atrophy kidney. Stem cells are initial cells which can differentiate into
intrinsic cells the body needs after they enter the body, thus reviving renal
function.
However, do not forget that in kidney failure stage, there are toxins in the
blood, which is not good for the differentiation of stem cells. So at this time,
we use Chinese Medicine to supply a favorable environment. Chinese Medicine can
play roles such as extending blood vessels, anti-inflammation, anti-coagulation,
degradation and so on.
