Natural Remedies for Constipation for Dialysis Patients

Dialysis is one of the kidney replacement treatments for kidney failure patients. But for most patients, they have to bear its various side effects, one of which is constipation. Are there any natural remedies for constipation for dialysis patients?

Causes of constipation for dialysis patients

Because the damaged kidneys can not remove excess water from body, you should restrict water intake between dialysis sessions. Limited water intake can make you constipation.

Besides, you may have poor appetite, which reduces your intake of fiber. This is also a common cause of constipation in dialysis.

-Consume moderate vegetables

On the precondition of water restriction, you should consume 250-300g vegetables, which help you relieve constipation.

-Enema Therapy

This therapy is an external therapy, which is to infiltrate the medicinal soup into intestinal tract. It can help improve the function of your intestinal tract so as to help remove waste products from body. It can also help improve your kidney function.

-Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)

TCM does not have so many side effects as western medicine, because all the medicines are from nature. Here I would like to introduce some to you, for example, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy, Medicated Foot Bath, Mai Kang Mixture, various medicinal soup, etc. They can dilate blood vessels and remove stasis to increase blood flow into kidneys so as to improve ischemia and anoxia. They can also draw toxins out of the body to reduce their accumulation in body. Besides, they can decompose the deposited immune complexes to reduce kidney inflammation and degrade extracellular matrix to stop kidney fibrosis. And they can also help stabilize your blood pressure and reduce blood cholesterol level. In a good blood environment, the damaged kidneys can regain their ability. And then you can avoid dialysis and its various side effects. But this needs long-term treatment.

Hope the above natural remedies are helpful for you to relieve constipation. If you have been fed up with dialysis and want to get rid of it, you can take treatment as early as possible.
