To many people with renal failure, they think dialysis is addictive and once
people start dialysis they would not stop needing dialysis. Is it right? This
question is one of the most concerned for people who are going to take on
dialysis or have already taken dialysis. Now let us discuss it.
What does dialysis mean for people?
Dialysis is only one device which was invented to prolong the lives of people
with renal failure. It is an artificial kidney for people to help discharge
toxic substances and excess water. Some people are prone to addiction, because
they feel more relaxed and comfortable after dialysis. Once other good therapy
can clean the toxins, they will case off dialysis from their life. And for some
other people, dialysis also brings them bad feeling because of the side
effects.
Which therapy can make people cast off dialysis?
In order to put an end to dialysis, people have to seek a treatment to
improve kidney function. For the people who have taken dialysis for not long
time, they have the chance to leave dialysis. They still have urine and some
kidney function, which means that some cells are working for filtering. In our
hospital, Immunotherapy is a good method for them to retrieve some kidney
function. The Immunotherapy can arrive in kidneys through the blood stream and
produce much functional cells to combine many useful kidney tissues. Once the
new cells repair kidneys, they can help to filter toxins and excess fluid from
the body. Some people’s GFR is only 15 and it can be improved above 20 and even
more. So the higher GFR can help to put end of dialysis. The higher your GFR is,
the more the therapy can help you.
For the people who have dialysis for a long time, people would have less
kidney function and the survival kidney cells are less too. So Immunotherapy
cannot repair too much but only can prolong the interval time. Some patients
extend the interval time from 3 times very week to 1 or 2 times every two weeks.
A few people have 1 time every three months, which can greatly improve his life
quality.
