The Side Effects of Long Time Dialysis

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) patients who have serum creatinine as high as 450umol/L in the world can take dialysis following doctors’ guidance, which can help clear away the toxins in the body, especially those small molecule toxins. However, long time dialysis can lead to a series of side effects, which goes as follows:
1. Long time dialysis can make patients rely on it although dialysis can help discharge the toxins out. In such condition, the remained renal function will be lost more quickly. The kidney begins to shrink. The adjustment function of the kidney begins to get lost. Renal hypertension and renal anemia will also worsen. At the same time, kidney can not filtrate urine so patients can only control the amount of water they take in.
2. Long time dialysis will influence Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) patients’ work. Although suffering from chronic kidney disease, patients should go to work as usual for they may not feel any symptoms or discomfort. Generally, at least, a patient should take dialysis once a week. But most of them will take dialysis even three times a week, each of which lasts for several hours at least for patients need to go to hospital to assure its security.
3. Dialysis can not clear away all the toxins in the body for it can only help discharge the small molecules such as creatinine, blood urea nitrogen and urea acid and so on. As for the bigger ones, we should use blood plasma exchange.
4. Long time dialysis can also damage the other organs such as heart and lung, which is dangerous.
5. Long time dialysis can also cause headache, nausea, vomiting, high blood pressure, and even coma,
6. Long time dialysis can also give economic burden to the family. They must afford the expense.
So Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) patients can choose another therapy, which can treat chronic kidney disease from root, and can help patients get rid of dialysis step by step, the name of which is Chinese Medicine and stem cell transplant.
