Besides dialysis, you can try Chinese medicine therapies, such as Medicated Foot Bath, Medicated Full Bath, Circle Therapy, Steam Therapy, Enema Therapy, etc. Those therapies can work like dialysis to cleanse waste products from the blood, and they can also draw toxins out of the renal cells, which helps them recover. Besides, they can dilate blood vessels and remove stasis to improve ischemia and anoxia and increase nutrients and active ingredients into damaged kidneys to speed up kidney recovery.
