Itchy Skin, Poor Sleep and Muscle Cramps In Uremia

Uremia, especially dialysis patients, often have these symptoms in the title, not only the high prevalence, but also super annoying.

Comparison of the cup is, although these symptoms are very common, but rarely seriously diagnosed, the data or from the US imperialist to find, China rarely study this.

However, as long as these chop succulent symptoms let our patients live unhappy, we have to rule it a rule, right?

sleep disorder 

Can not sleep, the more common reason is the mood is not good, this this, heart disease also heart medicine ... ...

The other is the blood phosphorus, blood urea nitrogen caused by increased.
High blood phosphorus patients, if you do not have high calcium can be calcium carbonate and calcium acetate, if the high calcium is not used, it is recommended with stilam and lanthanum carbonate.

You can also use long-term hemodialysis at night to significantly improve patient sleep.

"No matter where you are, the only purpose, for the sick man seeking happiness."
