Is There A Possibility to Stop Dialysis When You Are OK

“Hello doctor, my husband is a dialysis patient but it seems he is OK now. Is there a possibility he can stop dialysis?” Not a few dialysis patients have similar doubt. In this article, let’s have a quick look at how renal experts from Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital explain such a problem.

With CKD, dialysis can not be stopped even if you feel better.

Before dialysis, you may be very uncomfortable, because of the severe symptoms and complications, such as headache, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, etc. After dialysis, waste products and excess fluid are removed from the blood to help relieve your body malaise and make you feel better. But it is not possibility for you to stop dialysis. Because dialysis do not repair kidney damage, after dialysis, those waste products build up in body gradually. As a result, those symptoms appear again. That is to say, you have to live on dialysis for long term to maintain your life, while long-term dialysis brings you many new troubles as well, such as skin itch, fatigue, heart failure, etc.

When can you stop dialysis?

To stop dialysis, you have to repair kidney damage and improve kidney function to more than 15%. In Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital, we use Blood Pollution Therapy to treat kidney failure. This therapy combines many blood purification therapies to expel wastes from the blood. It can also remove stasis from the blood vessels to improve blood circulation so that enough blood can flow into kidneys. And then active ingredients of medicines can be transported into the nidus to help recover. Besides, it can provide your body with essential elements such as vitamins and amino acids to speed up recover. But for your kidneys are severely damaged, you have to maintain such a good blood environment for a long period of time to give the nidus chance to heal. Generally speaking, after one month’s treatment, your kidney function will increase. Several months later, it is possible for you to reduce dialysis frequency or even get rid of dialysis.
