Why CKD Patients Appear Joint Pain Even After the Dialysis

In the daily life, we may fell the joint pain, if we lack of the calcium or suffer from an attack. While the CKD patients always fell joint pain, even after the dialysis. now I will discuss the causes and the treatments with you.
CKD-MBD occurs when the kidneys fail to maintain the proper levels of calcium and phosphorus in the blood, leading to abnormal bone hormone levels. CKD-MBD is a common problem in people with kidney disease and affects almost all patients receiving dialysis.

CKD-MBD is most serious in children because their bones are still growing. The condition slows bone growth and causes deformities. One such deformity occurs when the legs bend inward toward each other or outward away from each other; this deformity is referred to as “renal rickets.” Another serious complication is short stature. Symptoms can be seen in growing children with renal disease even before they start dialysis.

The bone changes from CKD-MBD can begin many years before symptoms appear in adults with kidney disease. For this reason, the disease is known as a “silent crippler.” If CKD-MBD in adults is left untreated, the bones gradually become thin and weak, and a person with CKD-MBD may begin to feel bone and joint pain. CKD-MBD also increases the risk of bone fractures.

Doctors used to use the term renal osteodystrophy to describe the mineral and hormone disturbances caused by kidney disease. Now renal osteodystrophy is used only to describe the bone problems that result from CKD-MBD.

CKD-MBD can be treated with changes in diet. Reducing dietary intake of phosphorus is one of the most important steps in preventing bone disease. Almost all foods contain phosphorus, but it is especially high in milk, cheese, dried beans, peas, nuts, and peanut butter. Drinks such as cocoa, dark sodas, and beer are also high in phosphorus. Often, medications called phosphate binders—such as calcium carbonate (Tums), calcium acetate (PhosLo), sevelamer hydrochloride (Renagel), or lanthanum carbonate (Fosrenol)—are prescribed with meals and snacks to bind phosphorus in the bowel. These medications decrease the absorption of phosphorus into the blood. A renal dietitian can help develop a dietary plan to control phosphorus levels in the blood.


In our hospital we always deal with the CKD patients with joint pain with the traditional Chinese medial therapies, and the micro-Chinese medicine osmotherapy is one of it. if you want to know more information about our therapy, you can send emails to kidneyhospitalabroad@hotmail.com, or add my whatsapp +86 13383015760.
