How to Get Rid of Dialysis for Patients with Renal Failure

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.
