No Dialysis, Swelling Feet, What Can Be Done

A:

The kidneys are unable to remove fluid and waste from the body when they are damaged. And fluid and wastes will retain in your body, causing swelling, poor appetite, nausea or vomiting. To alleviate this condition, the treatment for kidney disease requires dialysis. Dialysis is a renal replacement to help injured kidneys to remove extra fluid from the body. Without dialysis, it is possible for a person to retain water in face, feet, ankles and even the whole body.

In this regard, if your brother has severe water-retention in his feet, dialysis is necessary. If he does not want to begin dialysis, he needs to take the following alternatives:

The treatment Characteristic in our hospital is Chinese medicine treatment. Here I mainly give you natural and effective treatments for your kidney issues.

1. Massage

Accumulation of excess fluid in the tissue results in swelling. Gently massage in the swelling area can stimulate blood circulation thereby reducing the edema.

2. Foot Bath

Foot Bath can dilate your blood vessels and improve blood circulation. It can also open your skin pores and make you sweat. In this way, edema can also be alleviated.

3. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy

This therapy is an external application and based on traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). This therapy helps repair injured kidney tissues and improve kidney function. When your kidney function is improved, kidneys can remove extra fluid out of body thereby reducing edema from the root. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is simple and convenient to operate. You just need to lie on the bed to take this treatment. No pain occurs to you. It is just like a massage and feels very comfortable. More importantly, it can help you avoid dialysis.
