Chinese Treatment for Stage 4 CKD

Both Chinese medicine and western medicine have their advantages in treating chronic kidney disease. For stage 4 CKD patients, their kidneys have been severely damaged and more than 70% of their kidney functions have been lost. But their illness condition is still early to begin dialysis or kidney transplant. In this regard, Chinese treatment is good choice.

Chinese medicine mainly adopt natural herbal medicines and some physical therapies such as massage, acupuncture, cupping, foot therapy, medicated bath therapy to regulate internal disorders, promote blood circulation and metabolism, repair damaged tissues and cells so as to help recover and improve the the patient’s kidney functions and other physiological functions.

Stage 4 CKD patients will have already developed a series of symptoms and complications such as headache, high blood pressure, fatigue, weakness, anemia, dry or itchy skin, bone pains, nausea, vomiting, swelling or even heart failure, etc. For each symptom and discomfort of stage 4 CKD, there are natural relief in Chinese herbal treatment. But the drawback is that Chinese treatment takes relatively longer time than western treatment to have obvious curative effects, therefore patients should have more patience and adhere to systemic treatment plan because patients may not have very obvious improvements of their illness condition in the early period while receiving Chinese treatment.

Nowadays, with the innovation of Chinese medicines, the efficacy has been greatly enhanced and the treatment course has been greatly shortened. Nowadays there is external application of Chinese medicine which is called Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy. It has been proved to be an effective and natural treatment for stage 4 CKD patients.

Since the active ingredients can penetrate through the acupoints and meridians and enter into the kidneys directly, the efficacy of Chinese medicines has been greatly improved and patients can have very obvious curative effects after about one week. But the treatment needs to last for 1-3 months because the relief or the disappearing of symptoms does not definitely mean the disease is cured. To reduce the relapse of kidney disease, the consolidation period is necessary and very important.
