Dialysis is usually recommended to you when your kidneys has nearly lost all of renal functions. Speaking of dialysis, most patients have a strong conflict psychology so that they will refuse firmly to accept the treatment. Then, what are effects of the treatment? And another concerned question is that what will happen if I stop dialysis. Here we will give you a overall explanation.

As we all know, the healthy kidneys help filter waste, excess fluid and toxins from our blood. They are also important for blood cell production and bone health. If the kidneys cannot function well, harmful substances build up in the body, blood pressure can rise, and too much fluid can pile up in the body’s tissues, which leads to swelling, called edema. Along with the deterioration of illness condition, your kidneys will fail, you will need dialysis or a kidney transplant to take over their job.

What are the curative effects of dialysis?

Dialysis is a life-support treatment that uses a special machine to filter harmful wastes, salt and excess fluid from your blood. Indeed, kidney dialysis is a necessary treatment for people with end-stage kidney disease or permanent kidney failure. Although dialysis can help prolong the life time for kidney disease patients, meanwhile, it also can induce some adverse effects like nausea, vomiting, anemia, fatigue, muscle cramps and so on. In order to avoid these side effects, patients are recommended to pay much more attention to their diet, lifestyles and medicines intake.

What will happen if I stop dialysis?

Without dialysis, toxins build up in the blood again, causing a condition called uremia. In the condition, if patients stop dialysis suddenly, it is dangerous for patients and can shorten patients’ life time. Meanwhile, patients are prone to suffer from a low quality of life. The decision to treatment should be an informed and voluntary choice.

Actually, dialysis is not the only way to prolong life time. In our Shijiazhuang Hetaiheng Hospital, we do use Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy, Immunotherapy, and Blood Pollution Therapy and so on to repair kidney damage and try to avoid dialysis.
