Will kidney failure kill me? This question is usually posted by people who are newly diagnosis. As for the answer of this question, I am afraid it is yes. Kidney Failure indeed kill people and so far has deprived millions of lives.

Kidney Failure is a medical condition which usually occurs as the final consequence of both chronic kidney problem and acute kidney problem. According to clinical investigation, kidney failure causes kill people by causing different fatal complications like heart failure, myocardial infarction, stroke and cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, for kidney failure patients, preventing the occurrence of these complications is very necessary.

Kidneys help us remove wastes out of our body, and once they fail to work, these wastes build up in the blood, as a result of which, abnormal examination results like high creatinine level and high blood urea nitrogen level appear. Generally speaking, with kidney failure, patients need to do dialysis, kidney transplant or receive medical treatment to increase kidney function. Otherwise their other internal organs will be damaged by toxic substances in the blood.

Dialysis and kidney transplant are the two commonly used conventional treatments and also they are regarded as the last two treatment for kidney failure. Actually, due to the bad side effects of dialysis and kidney transplant, various new medical treatment have been created to treat kidney failure and among these treatments, Immunotherapy shows outstanding treatment effects.

Immunotherapy is the effective combination of western medicines and eastern medicines. Although impaired kidney function can not be recovered completely through Immunotherapy, kidney function can be increased greatly. As long as patient's GFR (Glomerular Filtration Rate) which is used to reflect kidney function in clinic is no lower than 15, kidney failure patients can live without dialysis and kidney transplant. Therefore, Immunotherapy holds great promise for kidney failure patients.
