Treatment for Stage 5 Kidney Failure Other Than Dialysis

In stage 5 kidney failure,the kidneys nearly or completely fail. Due to limited treatment modalities,dialysis is still the first-line treatment for stage 5 kidney failure.However,once dialysis is initiated,the patients’ life will be changed dramatically.Therefore,many patients with stage 5 kidney failure are eager to find an treatment for stage 5 kidney failure other than dialysis.

How does dialysis work in treating stage 5 kidney failure?

Kidneys are important organs in body.Nephrons are basic functional units in kidneys and can filter out the wastes and extra fluid from body.However,as the condition progresses, more and more nephrons will be involved and affected. In stage 5 kidney failure, the most of the nephrons have been impaired and fail to function properly.

Dialysis is also known as artificial kidney.It can take over a partial function of native kidneys and help filter out wastes and extra fluid from body.However,it has no use in improving renal function at all.What’s worse,the patients will experience a number of side effects and complications like nausea and vomiting, cramp, fatigue etc. The average life expectancy of people on dialysis is just between 5~6 years.

Treatment for stage 5 kidney failure other than dialysis

As mentioned above,stage 5 kidney failure results from impairment of nephrons.To treat it effectively,the goal of the treatment is to restore the impaired nephrons and enhance renal function. If the renal function can be enhanced, dialysis will not more be needed.

The combined treatment of Micro-Chinese Medicines Osmotherapy and Blood Pollution Therapy is an alternative treatment to dialysis for stage 5 kidney failure.Blood pollution therapy can purify the blood and create a favorable internal environment.Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can improve renal function by restoring the impaired kidney structure. If the kidneys can perform functions, dialysis will not be required.
