“I have been told I need dialysis. Kidney function at 13. Creatinine at 3 plus. How long can one survive in dialysis?”. This is a question from our mail box kidneycares@hotmail.com. Follow us to see the details.

Generally when kidney function is below 15%, you will be suggested to take dialysis. Dialysis can discharge some wastes and fluid out of your body so as to make you feel better. Sometimes it can be life-threatening without dialysis in patients with acidosis, hyperkalemia or severe swelling. Thus, dialysis is necessary in most cases. However, some side effects like infection, low blood pressure or heart disease may occur in kidney patients. These side effects may make you die soon. In a word, it is a hard question to answer that how long you can live in dialysis with 13% renal function.

Moreover, due to lots of side effects and high cost, more and more kidney patients look for alternatives to dialysis. Eventually our hospital-Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital, China creates a series of Chinese medicine therapies including Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy, Medicinal Soup, Medicated Foot Bath, Medicated Bath, Moxibustion Therapy and Steaming Therapy, etc. Our Chinese medicines can restore injured kidney tissues and improve renal function through dilating blood vessels, improving blood circulation, preventing inflammation and coagulation, degrading extracellular matrix and providing nutrients. When renal function is improved, you can reduce dialysis times or avoid dialysis. Also your life expectancy will be improved.

Your life span in dialysis is affected by many factors. Aside from dialysis, you can try Chinese medicine treatments to prolong your life. Our contact information is kidneycares@hotmail.com and 008618330110929.
