Artificial kidneys look to replace dialysis treatment

Kidney disease is the eighth leading cause of death in the United States and more than 10 percent of the U.S. population suffers from chronic kidney disease. Kidney disease is the gradual loss of the function of the kidneys. The kidneys filter waste and excess fluid from your blood which is then excreted through urination. Kidney disease is so dangerous because once it reaches an advanced stage, dangerous levels of fluids, electrolytes and wastes can build up in your body. The buildup of these wastes can cause symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, fatigue or weakness, sleeping problems, changes in urine output, muscle twitches and cramps, swelling of feet and ankles, and a decrease in mental sharpness. Many of the signs and symptoms of kidney disease can be nonspecific and can also be caused by other illnesses. It is best to be checked by a doctor if you notice any signs or symptoms.

Toby needs dialysis to do the work of his failing kidneys. But the treatments have taken over his life, even forcing him to quit his job.

Now, researchers are studying a wearable artificial kidney. It does the same job as dialysis but it's portable, so it offers patients the ability to move while they receive therapy.

Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy develops on the basis of Traditional Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy. Traditional Chinese Medicine, known as Chinese Herbal Medicine, is extracted from plants for use in the treatment of disease and certain medical conditions. It is the world's most ancient form of medicine.

Traditional Chinese Medicine takes effects on kidney disease slowly for the ingredient of herbs needs to be absorbed by our alimentary system firstly. Meantime, the oral herbal soup makes many patients sick due to the bitter taste.

Micro-Chinese Medicine is designed as an external application to avoid the two major disadvantages of TCM.The core technology of Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is to make the effective herbs of kidney disease super-finely shattered. Then with the help of effective penetrant and osmosis devices, the effective medicines are permeated into kidney lesions by external application, thus achieving the goal of treating kidney disease. Clinical practices have been proved that this application method is both effective and convenient. At present, this therapy has become the core and most basic treating technique of Kidney Disease Hospital.
