Is That Normal For Patients After Dialysis To Have High Fever

Dialysis is the most important and effective treatment method for patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD) but dialysis itself will cause some side effects including low blood pressure, weight loss and muscle cramp as well as high fever. It is normal for patients after dialysis to experience high fever.

Severely damaged kidneys, decreased immunity and mild infection all can cause high fever. As a matter of fact, many patients want to stop dialysis due to its various complications. The best way to get rid of dialysis is to repair injured kidneys and improve kidney function. Thus, patients on dialysis can have a try of the following methods:

1. Immunotherapy

Immunotherapy combines western medicines and Chinese herbal medicines. It includes six steps like accurate diagnosis, immune blocking, immune tolerance, immune regulation, immune clearance and immune protection. With these steps, it can not only alleviate symptoms, repair kidney damages but also rebuild the immune system. In this condition, patients are not easy to get infection, the risk for high fever can be reduced.

2. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy

It is an innovation of traditional Chinese medicines but used externally. Two medicated bags filled with processed Chinese herbs are placed on patients’ back where the kidneys are. Via an osmosis device, the active ingredients in Chinese herbs can be infiltrated into kidney lesion directly. The herbs have functions of anti-inflammation, anti-coagulation, dilating blood vessels and providing nutrients for damaged kidneys, relieving renal ischemia and hypoxia state. Gradually injured kidneys can be repaired to some extent and kidney function can be improved. When kidney function is improved, dialysis frequency can be reduced or even dialysis can be avoided. Thus, fever and other complications of dialysis can all be treated well.
