My husband is diagnosed with Chronic Kidney Disease and his creatinine level raises to 6.0mg/dl, so his doctor suggest him to begin dialysis. I want to know “will kidney work normally after dialysis”. Many other people who are just diagnosed with kidney disease or don’t have a clear understand of dialysis may also want to ask this question. Don’t worry! Today, you can follow me to find the answer.
Will kidney work normally after dialysis?
We know dialysis is the artificial kidney that can eliminate waste and unwanted water from the blood. Normally, the healthy kidneys are responsible to do these jobs. However, the damaged kidneys will lose their ability to work optimally. Generally, patients whose creatinine level is higher than 5.0mg/dl, symptoms are life-threatening or kidney function is less than 15% have to start dialysis to maintain their basic life. However, dialysis is just a kidney replacement treatment rather a kidney repairing treatment, that is to say, dialysis can’t do anything to make the kidney work normally again.
Does the above analysis mean no treatment is able to repair damaged kidney?
Fortunately, the answer is no. Because kidney damage is mainly due to poor blood and oxygen transport to the kidney tissues and deposition of toxins and wastes in the blood, the treatment that can help kidney disease patients to avoid dialysis should be to change these conditions. In view of this, kidney experts have explored a new breakthrough called Immunotherapy. It, combining the essence of dialysis and herbal medicines, can not only eliminate waste productions from the body and purify blood but also repair a part of kidney tissues which are damaged but not necrotic. Once this part of kidney tissues recover to work again, patient’s kidneys can work by themselves without dialysis.
Now, more and more patients with kidney disease are preferable to treat their disease with Immunotherapy. Hopefully, it can help more patients avoid dialysis and improve their kidney function.
