Why Do Dialysis Patients Experience Muscle Cramp of Hands and Feet

Why do dialysis patients experience muscle cramp of hands and feet, especially for hemodialysis patients. The cause of muscle cramp is an important part of taking treatment. The following will introduce the reason why patients on hemodialysis often suffer from muscle cramp.

Renal experts said that muscle cramp can be induced by three conditions, including (1) low blood pressure; (2) the patient being below dry weight; (3) use of low sodium dialysis solution.

Treatment for cramping vary from person to person. If your muscle cramp is due to low blood pressure, the doctor may give normal saline. This will increase the fluid in your body and muscle cramp may be relieved. Also fluid and sodium restriction every day is necessary. Maintaining a balance between your dry weight and fluid gains and avoiding foods that make you thirsty and elevate fluid intake are your best defense against muscle cramping.

If you want to relieve your muscle cramp from the root, you should take measurement to avoid dialysis. To avoid dialysis, you should repair damaged kidney intrinsic cells and improve your kidney function. In this light, we recommend Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy. This therapy is invented by Shi Jiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital through many years of experiments and trials. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is an external therapy. With the help of osmotic equipment, the active substances of Micro-Chinese Medicine can immerse into the renal lesions directly. Then, through dilating blood vessels and promote blood circulation, it can improve the condition of ischemia and anoxia in the kidneys, which can provide a good environment for rebuilding kidney function. In addition, Micro-Chinese Medicine can also provide some nutrients such as vitamins, trace elements, organic acid and amino acid and so on to help repair damaged kidney function.

If your kidneys can work by themselves, you are more likely to get rid of dialysis. Without dialysis, its side effects like muscle cramp will be alleviated. For further information about our therapies, you can consult our experts for free or leave us a message below.
