Dialysis is one way to alleviate conditions caused by kidney disease. However, it is not the only method for kidney disease and most people do not favor dialysis since dialysis will cause many side effects. Well then, before starting dialysis, is there any other way to elevate kidney function?
To improve renal function, the therapies should treat both symptoms and root cause. That is, symptoms control and damaged kidney restoration should be combined together.
1. Control symptoms
As for relative symptoms of kidney disease such as high blood pressure, anemia, nausea and poor appetite, you can alleviate them by some medications.
2. Healthy living style
Exercise and healthy eating is a big part of your daily ritual. They both help regulate blood pressure and blood sugar which are two leading factors of kidney disease. This in turn helps to manage kidney disease. Give up smoking because tobacco toxins will damage the small blood vessels in the kidneys and worsen kidney condition. In addition, kidney disease patients should follow a low sodium, low protein but high quality protein, low potassium and low phosphorus diet.
3. Hot Compress Therapy
Hot compress therapy, also called Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy, is our hospital’s unique Chinese medicine therapy. It is an external application and the main ingredients are Chinese herbs. This therapy infiltrates fully-shattered Chinese herbs into kidney lesion directly through skin with the help of osmosis device. It is very comfortable and patients just need to lie on the bed to take this therapy. The Chinese herbs have functions of dilating blood vessels, preventing inflammation and coagulation, degrading extracellular matrix. Moreover, herbs can provide necessary nutrients for injured kidneys. All these help repair injured kidneys and improve kidney function effectively and naturally.
If you have not started dialysis and want to try alternative therapy, Hot Compress Therapy and symptom control can elevate renal function.
