To do dialysis, you must do a fistula on one of your blood vessels. How to protect the blood vessels of fistula from damage becomes a required course for dialysis patients. Here, especially for patients entering stage 4 of chronic kidney disease (the glomerular filtration rate is lower than 30ml/min/1.73m2), the following four points should be noted in usual treatment:

1. Double-upper limb vascular puncture should be avoided, such as blood drawing, infusion, and indwelling trocar. When blood sampling is encountered, please pay attention to the selection of vessels at the distal end of the limb to avoid repeated puncture at the same place.

2. When using an intravenous trocar, the retention time should be as short as possible.

3. Avoid infusion of drugs, such as levofloxacin, that cause greater irritation to the vein.

4. Avoid long-term use of central venous catheters to prevent central venous stenosis from affecting or missing the opportunity to establish arteriovenous fistula of the upper extremities.

Arteriovenous internal fistula has always been regarded as the lifeline of dialysis patients. Generally, doctors will inform patients in advance to do the fistula.

The reason for this is not to make patients pay more money, but because at this time the disease has been difficult to reverse, that is to say, you have to do dialysis sooner or later. In addition, after the completion of arteriovenous internal fistula, dialysis can be conducted after a mature period of 2-3 months, with inherent time difference. In this way, complications such as hyperkalemia, hyperkalemia and acidosis can be avoided.

How to promote the living quality for dialysis patients?

With dialysis going on, your living quality may be lowered due to the side effects. Here we recommend you to try Toxin-Removing Treatment, also known as Detoxification Therapy. It can help cleanse the blood, improve blood circulation and increase blood flow into kidneys and provide the essential elements so as to make internal environment good for kidney self-healing and other medication application. This treatment can help protect the residual renal function and counteract the side effects of dialysis so as to promote living quality.
