Hemodialysis is the most common method used to treat advanced and permanent
kidney failure. Since the 1960s, when hemodialysis first became a practical
treatment for kidney failure, we've learned much about how to make hemodialysis
treatments more effective and minimize side effects. In recent years, more
compact and simpler dialysis machines have made home dialysis increasingly
attractive. But even with better procedures and equipment, hemodialysis is still
a complicated and inconvenient therapy that requires a coordinated effort from
your whole health care team, including your nephrologist, dialysis nurse,
dialysis technician, dietitian, and social worker. The most important members of
your health care team are you and your family. By learning about your treatment,
you can work with your health care team to give yourself the best possible
results, and you can lead a full, active life.
Even in the best situations, adjusting to the effects of kidney failure and
the time you spend on dialysis can be difficult. Aside from the "lost time," you
may have less energy. You may need to make changes in your work or home life,
giving up some activities and responsibilities. Keeping the same schedule you
kept when your kidneys were working can be very difficult now that your kidneys
have failed. Accepting this new reality can be very hard on you and your family.
A counselor or social worker can answer your questions and help you cope.
Many patients feel depressed when starting dialysis, or after several months
of treatment. If you feel depressed, you should talk with your social worker,
nurse, or doctor because this is a common problem that can often be treated
effectively.
In Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital, Chinese therapies especially
Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy are commonly used in the clinic to help
repair kidney damage and recover renal function. In general, after one month of
treatment, renal function and GFR level can be improved to a certain degree. Due
to its safety and efficiency, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is becoming
more and more popular among the whole world. Welcome to consult online doctors
to learn more. Glad to help.

Can Hemodialysis Be Avoided
Healthy kidneys clean your blood by removing excess fluid, minerals, and
wastes. They also make hormones that keep your bones strong and your blood
healthy. When your kidneys fail, harmful wastes build up in your body, your
blood pressure may rise, and your body may retain excess fluid and not make
enough red blood cells. When this happens, you need treatment to replace the
work of your failed kidneys.
In hemodialysis, your blood is allowed to flow, a few ounces at a time, through a special filter that removes wastes and extra fluids. The clean blood is then returned to your body. Removing the harmful wastes and extra salt and fluids helps control your blood pressure and keep the proper balance of chemicals like potassium and sodium in your body.
One of the biggest adjustments you must make when you start hemodialysis treatments is following a strict schedule. Most patients go to a clinic—a dialysis center—three times a week for 3 to 5 or more hours each visit. For example, you may be on a Monday-Wednesday-Friday schedule or a Tuesday-Thursday-Saturday schedule. You may be asked to choose a morning, afternoon, or evening shift, depending on availability and capacity at the dialysis unit. Your dialysis center will explain your options for scheduling regular treatments.
Researchers are exploring whether shorter daily sessions, or longer sessions performed overnight while the patient sleeps, are more effective in removing wastes. Newer dialysis machines make these alternatives more practical with home dialysis. But the Federal Government has not yet established a policy to pay for more than three hemodialysis sessions a week.
It is a fact that no one kidney disease patient wants to experience dialysis or kidney transplant. So many patients are wondering what the efficient treatment can help them effectively avoid dialysis and kidney transplant. It is easy to understand that the only way to avoid dialysis is to recover kidneys’ functions, then dialysis will naturally become useless.

Avoid Dialysis with Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy
Doctors use a urine test, the "creatinine clearance," to measure the level of
kidney function. The patient saves urine in a special container for one full
day. The waste products in the urine and in the blood are estimated by measuring
the creatinine. By comparing the blood and urine level of this substance, the
doctor has an accurate idea of how well the kidneys are working. This result is
called the creatinine clearance. Usually, when the creatinine clearance falls to
10-12 cc/minute, the patient needs dialysis.
Patients generally go to the dialysis unit three times a week for treatment. For example, the schedule is either Monday, Wednesday, and Friday or Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. Before treatment, patients weigh themselves so that excess fluid accumulated since the last dialysis session can be measured. Patients then go to assigned chairs that are like lounge chairs. The area of the graft or fistula (the connection between the artery and vein), is cleaned thoroughly. Two needles are then inserted into the graft or fistula. One takes the blood to the machine where it is cleaned. The other needle allows blood that is returning to the patient to go back into the patient's body.
No western medicines have the ability to help kidney failure patients avoid dialysis. The only way to avoid dialysis is to make kidneys work again. Take the safety and efficiency into account, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy will be strongly recommended. You can directly consult online doctors to learn more about Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy, very glad to help.

Avoid Dialysis for Patients with Chronic Kidney Failure
For kidney failure patients, can dialysis be effectively avoided? Nowadays,
Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy brings patients new hopes.
Dialysis helps the body by performing the functions of failed kidneys. The kidney has many roles. An essential job of the kidney is to regulate the body's fluid balance. It does this by adjusting the amount of urine that is excreted on a daily basis. On hot days, the body sweats more. Thus, less water needs to be excreted through the kidneys. On cold days, the body sweats less. Thus, urine output needs to be greater in order to maintain the proper balance within the body. It is the kidney's job to regulate fluid balance by adjusting urine output.
Patients usually require dialysis when the waste products in their body become so high that they start to become sick from them. The level of the waste products usually builds up slowly. Doctors measure several blood chemical levels to help decide when dialysis is necessary. The two major blood chemical levels that are measured are the "creatinine level" and the "blood urea nitrogen" (BUN) level. As these two levels rise, they are indicators of the decreasing ability of the kidneys to cleanse the body of waste products.
Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is commonly used in the clinic to help kidney failure patients effectively avoid dialysis, and patients should know that the only and the best way to avoid dialysis is to save kidneys by repairing kidney dam,age and recovering renal function, while Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is used to achieve this. You are worth learning more about it. If having any questions, feel free to directly consult online doctor, we are glad to help.
