Hemodialysis is used to replace kidney to remove toxins in human body, but
kidney function can not be repaired by hemodialysis. Damages of kidney will
aggravate. What’s more, long-term hemodialysis may cause following
complications.
Balance disturbance syndrome
Balance disturbance syndrome normally presents 1 hour after the dialysis
starts or several hours after the dialysis. In some cases, headache, vomit,
drowsiness, fidgets and muscle spasm will present. If the conditions of patients
become worse, they may have flapping tremor, muscle spasm and drowsiness. In
serious cases, there could be psychopathy, convulsions, stupor or coma.
Hypotension
Most of the time, hypotension caused by dialysis is related to excessive
dehydration and sharp declining of blood volume. Excessive ultra filtration in
very short time may lead to stroke volume and output quantity declines. In
addition, hypotension could be caused by hypoxemia, dysfunction of the autonomic
nervous system, long-term low sodium dialysis, acetate dialysis, unstable
cardiovascular function, infection, dialysis membrane or allergic toxins. A
small number of patients have hypotension, but the cause of which is unsure.
Hypertension
Sometimes patients who receive hemodialysis are accompanied with
hypertension, which may result in heart failure or death. The mechanism of
presence of hypertension is complicated. Hypertension caused by hemodialysis
could be generally divided into two types: Volume-dependent hypertension and
renin-dependent hypertension. Besides, there are also autonomic nerves,
calciumion or atrial natriuretic polypeptide, which could also lead to
hypertension.
Long time hemodialysis will do harm to kidneys. We need to try other
treatments that can repair your kidney.
In fact, we have other treatment methods which can reduce hemodialysis or
even get rid of it. The combination of Immunotherapy and Micro-Chinese Medicine
Osmotherapy has great effects on treating kidney diseases. And they can help
reduce hemodialysis. In some cases, hemodialysis can be even got rid of. If you
want to know more about this treatment, you can consult our experts on line
freely.
