Prevent Complications of Uremia by Blood Purification Technique

Why blood purification technique may help to prevent complications of Uremia?

The main function of the kidneys is to filtrate bloodstream and discharge metabolic wastes in the form of urine. When the kidneys are not functioning as they should, various types of wasteful products will accumulate in the body. Those wastes, when circulating with bloodstream, may damage multiple body systems, such as digestive system, endocrine system, nerve system, brain and heart tissues, etc. Those complications will decrease long-term survival rate in Uremia.

For instance, high Cysc C may cause amyloidosis, HCY is an independent risk factor for development of cardiovascular diseases. Elevated IL-6 is associated to increased possibilities of cardiovascular diseases, malnutrition and uremic anemia, and increased PTH may cause renal osteopathy.

Blood purification is a thorough way to clear all kinds of wastes and toxins in the body and purify the inner environment by applying a set of purification techniques. This means to fulfill the function of kidneys through artificial facilities. The patients with Uremia will get rid of toxic substances, reduce complications, improve health status and enhance quality of life.

Clinical treatment for Uremia begins with blood purification. Imagine if those toxins stay in the body, it will be hard for any treatment to function effectively on the kidneys.

How is blood purification technique performed in Uremia?

The toxins can be categorized into micro, medium or macro molecular ones. Blood purification is applied to eliminate all those wastes. The techniques mainly include hemodialysis, hemoperfusion, immune adsorption, blood plasma exchange, blood lipid elimination, biological filtration, leucocyte clearance, etc. Clinical application of blood purification technique on Uremia mainly includes the follows:

Hemodialysis is used to get rid of micromolecular substances in the body which mainly include blood urea nitrogen, uric acid, creatinine, etc.

Medium-molecular wastes, which mainly include CysC, IL-6 and PTH will be removed by hemoperfusion.

Hemoperfusion 130 is applied to reduce chances of such chronic complications as renal osteopathy.

Hemoperfusion 230 will be used to treat kidney failure which is caused by certain drugs and toxins.

Hemoperfusion 280 will treat autoimmune kidney disorders and complications such as skin disease and vasculitis.

High blood lipids and inflammatory meditative factors can be removed by hemoperfusion 330. Patients with combined liver disease get alleviated after treatment by hemoperfusion 330-Ⅱ.

Bedside hemofiltratioon is often used for treating autoimmune diseases (such as Systemic Lupus Erythematosus) and such severe chronic complications of Uremia as heart disease, brain or lung disease, etc.

Blood plasma exchange is useful in treating acute progressive Nephritis and refractory Nephrotic syndrome. The technique is also suitable for remitting or controlling Uremic cardiomyopathy and cerebropathy.
