CKD is a progressive kidney disease with gradually decline of kidney function. Depending on the GFR (glomerular filtration rate), CKD can be divided into 5 stages, and the end stage of CKD has a low GFR less than 15 ml/min. In general, if CKD patients develop into end stage, dialysis will be suggested with the low GFR.

In addition, if the creatinine level is higher than 5 mg/dl, there will be lots of toxins and wastes building up in blood and cause the severe symptoms, such as nausea, vomiting, skin itching, and so on. Dialysis will be suggested, because it is the quickest way to remove the wastes out. However, dialysis cant restore kidney function, and you need to take it regularly to purify the blood. The long term dialysis can cause some side effects, such as headache, low blood pressure, muscle cramps, skin itching, etc. So most of the CKD patients don’t want to start dialysis, and they are trying to get some alternative treatment for CKD to avoid dialysis.
