What Does Kidney Dialysis Do for Kidney Failure Patients

Dialysis is the most commonly used medical method when kidneys shut down, even though it can cause lots of bad effects. Well, what does kidney dialysis do for kidney failure patients?

What is dialysis?

Dialysis is commonly called “Artificial Kidney” in many areas. It is the artificial process of eliminating wastes and unwanted water from the blood. Dialysis works by filtering blood with a machine outside the body and then transfuse clean blood back to body again. Even though it helps to cleanse our blood, not one wants to do dialysis, because long-term usage of it always cause many deadly complications as well as excruciating physical discomforts.

What does kidney dialysis do for kidney failure patients?

Dialysis is required by kidney failure patients because kidneys can not function again. Kidney is the natural filter of our body. It filters blood and during this process, it removes wastes and unwanted fluid out of the body, so as to help us maintain fluid balance and a good internal environment. However, when kidneys shut down, they can not do this job any more, as a result of which, wastes and unwanted fluid build up in blood. This is a very dangerous condition and may lead to further health tissues, so dialysis is required to replace failed kidneys to cleanse blood.

Are there any alternatives for kidney dialysis?

Dialysis is helpful, but risky and terrible. For kidney failure patients whose kidneys have shut down completely, they can do kidney transplant to avoid dialysis if they can find a matched donor. Dialysis and kidney transplant are the last two options for them to prolong life span. However, for these who still have good urine output, there is alternative treatment for them to avoid dialysis and kidney transplant. The alternative treatment is named Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy which is herb-based, but totally different from TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine). It is a very safe treatment and if you want to learn details about it, please leave us message below or consult online doctor directly.
