Hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis is the two methods of renal dialysis, the same effect is to clean the kidneys, the working principle is the same, but the hemodialysis is directly derived from the use of dialysis machine to replace the function of the kidney, In the abdominal wall and the dirty layer (including the liver, spleen, intestines or bone) on the thin film instead of kidney function. Hemodialysis is still good? Southern Medical University, Chinese and Western Medicine Hospital, Department of nephrology physician summarized a few points.
1. which one is convenient?
Hemodialysis need health care personnel monitoring, abdominal penetration only need the patient or their families can be carried out at home, uremia or renal failure patients if the peritoneal, can save the time to the hospital line and round trip fees. Hemodialysis on the site, equipment and manpower demand is great, but a limited number of patients on the machine, hemodialysis in some areas of China has reached a saturated state, and peritoneal dialysis treatment and hemodialysis is basically the same, peritoneum is more suitable for far away from the hospital Of patients with kidney disease, can save time and save a transportation fee.
2.Which one is safe?
May be a lot of uremia or renal failure patients feel that they operate dialysis, will have their own ability to doubt, but the patient or family members are to undergo a two-week training in the hospital, the hospital examination can allow self-examination, and health care workers Will follow up. As long as the patient through their own abdominal surgery to ensure that the dialysis environment and dialysis supplies clean and sterile, in accordance with the doctor's medication and referral, to avoid infection, it is the same with hemodialysis patients.
3. which one is expensive?
Rough estimates, hemodialysis cost of about nine to ten thousand yuan a year, while the peritoneal dialysis than hemodialysis 10% -15% or so. According to the national health insurance policy, as long as the purchase of medical insurance, uremic patients can enjoy dialysis reimbursement, peritoneal patients can enjoy the monthly limit of 7500 yuan protection, as long as their attention, to avoid infection or other complications, uremic patients enough to cope with peritoneum Dialysis costs, coupled with the need to save some of the costs and time to the hospital, peritoneal dialysis should be a very good choice.
