Kidney failure is the advanced stage of FSGS. If the illness goes into kidney failure, kidney function will be severely damaged and patients cannot live a normal life. Dialysis is offered to FSGS patients with kidney failure. But many patients doubt that can dialysis reverse FSGS with kidney failure?

Why is dialysis needed for patients with FSGS with kidney failure?

FSGS is characterized by glomerular damage. The kidney cannot work well if part of the glomerular is scarred. The waste product and toxins will pile up in blood and cannot be filtered out. When they accumulate to a certain level, they will cause many complications or even threaten patient’s life. Now that the kidney can not do this job by itself, some external force is needed.

Dialysis is the one that can replace kidney to complete this job. It can remove the waste product and toxins from the blood and thus achieve the goal of cleaning blood. Dialysis is an artificial kidney. It indeed do some help in relieving the symptoms and reducing the burden of kidney. But dialysis is not the long-term plan.

Can dialysis reverse FSGS with kidney failure?

Though dialysis is helpful and it can also prolong the lifespan. But dialysis cannot reverse FSGS with kidney failure. It is just a replacement method and do nothing to the impaired kidney. Without dialysis, is there other treatment for FSGS with kidney failure?

Yes, there is. A newly developed therapy---Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is designed for treating kidney disease and if has a great effect on FSGS. The herbal ingredients will be permeated into the kidney lesions via an osmosis device. The Chinese herbs also functions to transport nutrition to kidney and regulate immune system. With the special effects, the damaged glomerular can be repaired, thus kidney function can be improved.
