Yes, we can understand that kind of feeling. No one wants to experience dialysis or receive a kidney transplant. But if too much waste products and toxins accumulate in the body cause some obvious symptoms like nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, severe edema, heart disease, pulmonary edema, difficult breath and etc, then dialysis had better be started. Just like the condition mentioned above, generally speaking, the dialysis will be used to lower the high creatinine level and high BUN levels and relieve some symptoms.
However, dialysis should be temporary, it is not a long-term method. Some dialysis patients may complain about they are suffering from some complications of dialysis such as low blood pressure, migraines, light fluttering and spots, pulsating effect in eyes and sometimes gums, visual disturbances, nausea, vomiting, sleep problems and so on, these complications can discounts the quality of life, which becomes one of reasons why more and more dialysis patients begin to decide to stop dialysis.
Traditional Chinese medicines have been used for thousands of years and are proved to be very natural for patients. In our hospital, Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital, we have developed a systemic herbal treatment, including oral medicines and external applications. However, words are limited here so I cannot list all of them. Here, I would like to introduce Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy and Stem Cell Therapy.
Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy
Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy, an alternative treatment for dialysis patients, is expected to bring new hopes for them. This treatment is based on Chinese herbal medicines, but used externally. Two bags filled with processed Chinese herbal medicines will be put under patients’ lower back, which means patients just need to lie on the bed to take it. With the help of osmosis device, the active materials of Chinese herbal medicines can directly reach to kidney area by permeating into skin and then begin to come into play. Through extending blood vessels, promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, anti-inflammation, anti-coagulation, degradation and providing nutrition for damaged kidneys, the kidney function can be improved.
Stem Cell Therapy
Stem cells are called “universal cells” because they are undifferentiated cells that can divide into many other functioning cells. Stem cells can be delivered into the body through intravenous infusion. They can help regenerate new renal tissues and repair damaged nephrons. In our hospital, we use two types of stem cells: cord blood cells and mesenchymal stem cells. We have more than 30 years of clinic practices, and thus you can trust us!
