Uremia sounds terrible for patients and it usually means they are much closer
to death. If your thought is like this, you are totally wrong. Many patients with uremia can cast off dialysis and lead a full life. What Lab Tests Determine ESRD (Uremia)? Although
the effective treatments play an important role, the good effect also needs
attic faith and powerful optimism.
Uremia is the most serious stage of kidney diseases. In this stage, patients’
kidneys have lost most of their function. So many people rely on dialysis for
sustaining life or they turn to kidney transplant for help if they are lucky to
find a suitable donor or their economic capability can support. Is this
true?
Knowledge about kidneys in uremia
The kidney in uremia is like the thick calluses which have no activity.
Because there are only 5% of kidney tissues alive and other tissues have been
replaced by the ECM (extracellular matrix). Originally the ECM exists to support
kidney cells in order to keep exquisite kidney tissues. And ECM is like the
walls in a building and the cells are like the rooms. Now as the cells are
damaged one by one, excessive ECM is secreted to replace the damaged one and
also affect the healthy ones. Little by little, the kidney tissues are
substituted by ECM. So kidney cannot function well and toxins cannot be
discharged.
Dialysis and uremia
In this stage, dialysis is essential for patients. No matter how much you are
unwilling, dialysis is recommended as one of your treatments. Because it can
keep a better internal environment and save people from poisoning. However, it
is not the chief treatment in our hospital. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy
is adopted to wake the left kidney cells. Although they are only 5%, they have a
magical power. If they are greatly repaired by this therapy, they are hopeful to
cast off dialysis and at least can prolong the interval time between times of
dialysis.
Immunotherapy is another method for uremia. If their illness condition is
permitted, Immunotherapy infusion can provide more healthy cells for patient’s
kidneys. They are not as the Chinese medicine which only can recover the damaged
ones. But Immunotherapy can produce active cells for kidney, so patients has
more chance to get a better kidney function in order to cast off dialysis.
