There are three common treatments for chronic kidney failure including
dialysis, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and western medicines. Now let's
have a look at how they treat renal failure.
1. Dialysis
Dialysis is probably needed when one’s kidneys fail. Tons of wastes, excess
fluids and dangerous levels of electrolytes accumulate inside the body as a
result of Renal Failure. Could dialysis improve one’s increasingly declined
kidney function?
The answer is, obviously, negative. Dialysis works as an artificial kidney
help remove metabolic products and wastes as well as toxins. Dialysis could
lower creatinine in a really short time; meanwhile, it is able to prolong
patients’ lives when Renal Failure attacks. However, kidney function declines
slowly but firmly even with dialysis. It relieves one’s medical condition
temporarily instead of permanently. To make things worse, urine output becomes
less and less day by day, which is unacceptable by the patients with Renal
Failure.
2. Treatment for renal failure other than dialysis
In renal failure,the kidneys are impaired seriously.To help the patients
avoid dialysis,the patients should take treatment to restore the impaired kidney
tissues and enhance renal function.
Chinese herbal medicine is an alternative treatment for renal failure other
than dialysis.The herbs can help the patients retrieve the self-healing system
in body to restore the impaired kidney structure.If your renal function can be
enhanced, you will be able to avoid dialysis.
Those treatments are based on different concepts and adopt diverse approaches
to deal with Renal Failure. TCM is short for traditional Chinese medicine, which
plays on the idea that regulating Yin and Yang could help boost one’s immune
system. It uses various herbal medicines.
Traditional Chinese medicine could promote blood circulation, relieve
hyperfunction of glomeruli, repair glomerular basilar membrane, help excrete
toxins and wastes, lower high blood pressure, improve the acidosis and reduce
vomiting and nausea etc. symptoms. Additionally, active ingredients of TCM
arrive at renal lesion and combine with immune complexes and pathogenic factors.
After blood circulation is promoted, those harmful substances could be able to
remove out from blood. However, due to certain Chinese medicines have
nephrotoxicity, professional nephrologists should be asked beforehanded so as
not to pose any further damages to your kidneys.
Traditional Chinese medicine and western medicines are good at different
aspects, meaning the combos of both medicines could possibly boost the best
possible outcomes.
