Q:
I have now been on hemodialysis for 13 years but I heard that the survival rate is usually about 15 years and then it starts to affect your heart. Does anyone know how long the longest surviving hemodialysis patient has remained on dialysis for to date?
A:
Generally speaking, the mortality rate for dialysis is about 15% for peritoneal dialysis patients, at 4 years, and about 25% for hemodialysis is about 4 years. It means that after 4 years, 85% of peritoneal dialysis patients are still alive and 75% of hemodialysis patients are still alive. Our fingers I have heard say that about 50% of patients are still alive after 7 years. However, all of this depends on your original state and other diseases like diabetes. Diabetes is not a good sign. Diabetes does huge amounts of damages to the kidneys. And it is probably the reason kidneys shut down.
Dialysis is not perfect. It is much better to have functioning kidneys. Under such a condition, an alternative therapy working for repairing kidney damage and improving kidney function is strongly recommended.
This alternative therapy is Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy which can restore injured kidney tissues and improve kidney function. When your kidney function is improved, your kidneys will perform their function to discharge excess fluid and wastes from the body, and balance electrolytes and regulate blood pressure, etc. Your symptoms like high blood pressure, high creatinine level, back pain, nausea and vomiting will all be alleviated from the root.
How does Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy improve kidney function? You may be eager to know this, right? Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is based on traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) but used externally. You just need to lie in the bed to take this therapy. During the treatment, you can also read newspaper, watch TV and surf in the Internet. It is very comfortable and just like a massage. Osmosis machine is used and helps active substances in Chinese medicines come to kidney lesion directly. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy performs four major functions including anti-inflammation, anti-coagulation, degrading extracellular matrix and dilating blood vessels. With these functions, damaged kidney cells and tissues can be restored to some extent and then kidney function will be improved as well. Besides, it is possible to reduce dialysis times or even avoid dialysis.
You can live a longer and high quality life without your improved kidney function. Dialysis is one way but not the only way for kidney disease. There are many alternative therapies and you should pay attention to them.
