Is It Normal To Still Make Urine While On Dialysis

Is it normal to still make urine while on dialysis? Some people thought once someone is classified as end stage renal disease and but on dialysis all that seizes to work? Here we will help you find the answer.

Each person and each kidney disease is unique. Most patients still make some urine on dialysis but the longer you are on dialysis, the less urine that you make. In most patients, urine output rapidly decreases once they start dialysis-within the first year, most people stop urinating completely.

What is advantage of no urination?

You have no need to go to bathroom as much as everyone else and dehydration risk is decreased.

What are the disadvantages of urination?

You cannot expel fluids and toxins through urine anymore so whatever you drink stays in you until you get dialysis. Also some medications can build to to a toxic level in non-urinating dialysis patients. Phosphorus, potassium and magnesium can also pile up to dangerous levels. Thirst can never be totally satisfied without exceeding your fluid restriction.

If you still urinate on dialysis, it indicates that you still have some residual kidney function. That is a piece of good news for dialysis patients because there is still chance to repair kidney damage and improve kidney function. In order to repair injured kidney tissues and improve renal function, we recommend Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy. The active ingredients can dilate blood vessels, prevent inflammation and coagulation, degrade extracellular matrix and provide nutrients, which all serve to repair injured kidney cells and improve renal function. When kidney function is improved, dialysis frequency can be reduced or dialysis can even be avoided. Thus, more urination will be made by kidneys.
