Can Proper Diet And Medication Keep You Off Dialysis

We all know diet and medication help control the medical conditions and make kidney disease patients feel better. Well, can proper diet and medication keep you off dialysis?

Diet for chronic kidney disease (CKD)

You may need to make changes to your diet when you have chronic kidney disease. These changes include Limiting fluids, eating a low but high quality protein diet, limiting salt, potassium, phosphorus and other electrolytes, getting enough calories if you are losing weight. You may need to alter your diet more if your kidney disease gets worse, or if you need dialysis. The diet is to keep the levels of electrolytes, minerals, and fluids in your body balanced when you have chronic kidney disease. Proper diet is likely to put off or delay the dialysis. But it is not enough to eliminate dialysis.

Medication for chronic kidney disease

Kidney disease patients will take various medications to control their conditions. For example, ACER or ARBs are usually applied to lower high blood pressure. Diuretics is used to alleviate swelling and proteinuria. Kelosteril is prescribed to lower high creatinine level.

Proper diet and medications can manage your condition and help delay dialysis. But they fail to repair kidney damage and improve renal function so it is not enough to rely on diet and medications to eliminate dialysis. If you want to avoid dialysis, you need to repair kidney damage and improve renal function. Thus, we recommend Chinese Medicine Treatment which has the following functions in treating kidney failure:

Repair damaged kidney tissues

Active ingredients in Chinese medicines can promote blood circulation, eliminate blood clots, heat and toxins out of the body. It can improve blood microcirculation and alleviate renal ischemia and anoxia state so as to improve renal metabolism and repair injured kidney tissues.

Improve renal function

Chinese medicines can supply more blood, oxygen and necessary nutrients for new renal cells to grow. This helps rebuild renal structure and improve renal function.

When renal function is improved and urine output is increased, patients are more likely to avoid dialysis. Or the side effects or frequency of dialysis will be reduced.
