I have met a lot of patients having Renal Failure or Uremia caused by
Polycystic Kidney Disease, and they are on dialysis. They told me that they feel
good after dialysis, and they think that they can live a normal life with
dialysis. They all think dialysis is a very effective treatment.
But at first, I should give you an explantation about dialysis. Dialysis is
not a kind of kidney repair treatment, it can only remit the patients' illness
symptoms temporarily. What is worse, it will speed up the aggravation of the
kidneys. Dialysis is only a replacement of kidneys. dialysis is needed and some
patients must do dialysis with a high creatinine. But what they should do next
is to seek for effective treatments to treat the kidney disease and to try to
get rid of the dialysis, and not only undergo dialysis.
But what is the normal life expectancy if patients only on dialysis?
The normal life expectancy of a dialysis patient is about 3-5 years. If a
person is undergoing dialysis for Chronic Kidney Disease and he doesn’t take
treatment to repair the damaged kidneys, then the end is near. But there are
also some patients with serious kidney diseases living with dialysis for many
years, however, these patients are very small part of all. The mortality rate
for patients suffering from End Stage Renal Disease is 22% annually, and this
means that surviving beyond 5 years is hard for the patients. The life
expectancy depends on the severity of the disease, and if someone suffers from
acute kidney failure, he can with the treatment and may dialysis, and then he
expects to live a long life.
But we cannot deny the importance of dialysis, if without dialysis, patients
with Renal Failure or Uremia may not live till the next treatment or kidney
transplantation. So dialysis is very important for patients with Renal Failure
and Uremia.
When a person decides to do dialysis, there is a reality that he must face
to. The fact is that once without dialysis, the patient will not survive for
more than a few weeks. The vascular system will soon get flooded with liquid,
and the heart will be unable to keep up with this added volume. The lungs will
also get flooded, and this will result in a lack of oxygen to the brain and to
the heart. Additionally, the kidneys then fail to absorb potassium and
phosphorus, causing the heart to beat irregularly, and causing the aorta to
harden respectively. The added amount of urea in the body will also lead to
toxemia, which will damage the heart, the brain and blood vessels. Sooner or
later, the body will be unable to deal with all these added pressures. So
patients need to seek for some effective treatments to help them get rid of
dialysis.
So an effective treatment is very important for patients on dialysis. If
patients' damaged kidneys can be repaired effectively, patients can get rid of
dialysis in the future. In Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital, Micro-Chinese
Medicine Osmotherapy and Immunotherapyation has been used into the treatment of
Renal Failure.
