Who Says Dialysis Is a Must for Uremia Patients

Once kidney disease progress into Uremia period, patients need to undergo dialysis regularly. It seems to become a “iron law”, but if patients refuse to dialysis, how should we do?
Most kidney disease patients may don’t know what function do dialysis have, and have no idea about side effect of dialysis. But it still cannot relieve patients resistance to dialysis-in most patients’ mind, dialysis is very expensive, is a “addiction” thing. Patients try their best to avoid dialysis.
So we can understand why patients feel so helpless when doctors say, “you need to undergo dialysis”.
Mr. Lai come from Jiang have a strong feel.
In May,2012, due to swollen lower limbs, he came to hospital for test. He was diagnosed with Chronic Nephritis and renal insufficiency. At that time, his proteinuria was 2+, serum creatinine level is 150umol/L. But, he stopped the treatment when his swelling and proteinurie got controlled. Until Sept.2014, he suddenly experienced dizziness, nausea, vomiting, etc. He went to Nanjing, this time his creatinine level has increased to 902umol/L. During two years, his illness has developed into uremia.
He did not learn dialysis. When doctor suggested him to accept dialysis, he refused firmly.
The director Yan Lixue was his doctor and when director saw him fist time, his kidney function was very poor. Director Yan also see many cases which is similar to Mr. Lai.
In most conditions, it is reasonable to take treatment of dialysis. But due to the patient’s rejection, so Yan Lixue decided to adopt the conservative treatment.
In fact, dialysis is just responsible for discharging micromolecular substances rather than preventing regeneration of wastes. However, blood purification is not only to discharge micromolecular substances. Therefore, the functions of dialysis is not as good as people imagines.
We purify polluted blood by adopting Chinese herbal medicines. Although its curative effects are slow, we do realize the goal of blood purification by stopping the kidney cells damage and recovering kidney function. Therefore, the therapeutic effects is more better than dialysis.
This can be well understood: machine can never replace kidneys.
Purifying blood is a must to treat uremia. But dialysis is not only method to clean blood. --dialysis is just a lazy way which has many adverse effects.

Mr. Lai’s treatment experience tell us, dialysis is indeed not a must for patients with uremia, the key points lie in whether doctors are responsible.
