According to statistics, Polycystic Kidney Disease is the forth main cause of
the end stage renal failure. And among the patients doing dialysis, after the
Diabetic Nephropathy, Chronic Glomerulonephritis, and Renal Arteriosclerosis,
Polycystic Kidney Disease patients account for 5.6%, ranking at number four.
Hemodialysis is also called artificial kidney for filtrating the blood
instead of our kidneys. In clinical, hemodialysis, as one type of blood
purification techniques, has its significance on relieving the patients’
symptoms and prolonging the patients’ life.
Hemodialysis, according to the principle of the membrane balance, makes the
patients’ blood pass through a kind of film (called the semipermeable membrane
medically) with filtration pores, where the micromolecule can pass through.
However, dialysis is not a perfect technique. So what harms does hemodialysis
have?
In the long term, dialysis mainly has the following harms for the
patients.
1, the expenses of long-term dialysis is a heavy burden for the patients in
the end stage of renal failure, especially for patients in the countries without
complete medical and health system.
2, long-term dialysis can cause a series of complications, such as acquired
renal cysts, inflammation, infections and so on.
3, due the dialysis, the patients kidney will gradually lose its ability to
filtrate the blood. That means the remaining function of the kidney will
gradually degrade, because the dialysis is just a substitutive therapy instead
of treating the kidney diseases from the root causes.
4, as for the dialysis itself, it is a suffering process for the patients.
And sometimes, during the dialysis, there are many dangerous factors may cause
deadly menace for the patients, such as low blood pressure, heart failure and so
on.
Therefore, for dialysis, patients need to deliberate its advantages and
disadvantages. The best way is to take treatment early and avoid the dialysis as
much as possible. For Polycystic Kidney Disease, if the patients can adopt
treatment at the early stage and develop reasonable life style, they surely can
delay or avoid dialysis and even the kidney transplant.
In china, a developing country, we make use of the magical Traditional
Chinese Medicine for this disease to help the patients to delay and avoid
dialysis. Traditional Chinese Medicine, not only relieve the suffering the
patients, but also release the economic burden of the patient. And with the
economic globalization, the Chinese medicine get more and more generally
accepted in the world due to its magical effects.
