When should Renal Failure Patients Take Dialysis

It is very common that dialysis will be used for Renal Failure patients. And high creatinine levels usually happen in patients with Renal Failure. Generally speaking, dialysis will be recommended when creatinine levels reaches to about 5 while in China, it is 8. As a matter of fact, the creatinine levels has no direct relation with dialysis, that is to say, only a creatinine level can not decide whether dialysis is needed or not. In clinical, some patients have already started dialysis even though their creatinine level doesn't reach to 5 and also there are many patients have not begun dialysis though their creatinine level is too much higher than 5. Different people have different conditions, just likes the physical quality of two persons is different. Then when is dialysis necessary?

When the high creatinine begins to cause some symptoms, like nausea, vomiting, somnolence, heart problems and so on, dialysis must be used to help them eliminate the waste products and excessive water. However, dialysis does lower creatinine obviously and the excessive water, as to the aspect that repairing the damaged kidney inherent cells and recovering kidney function, dialysis does nothing. Moreover, the final result of dialysis must be a kidney function, Renal Failure patients are eager to avoid or get rid of dialysis. For Renal Failure Patients, Dialysis Is Not A Long Plan for The Future.

The clinical experience has been showed that Chinese herbal medicines can enhance the kidney function, you could never imagine how excited they are when patients see they can pass urine again. As long as the kidney function can be enhanced to about 20%, dialysis is likely to be stopped. More kidney function is left, better the prognosis will be.
