How about Dialysis Treatment for Diabetes with Kidney Disease

For a person with Diabetes, his blood sugar levels are too high. Over time, this can lead to damage to the blood vessels in the kidneys. If this happens, the kidneys are not able to clean the blood adequately. The body will retain more fluid and sodium that it should remove, which can lead to weight gain and ankle swelling. Also, waste products will accumulate in the blood. When the kidneys fail to support a normal life, dialysis is needed.

Definition

Kidney dialysis is a life-saving treatment given to people whose kidneys are failing. There are two mainly two forms:

Hemodialysis. A dialysis machine filters the blood and infuses it back into the body. This is a three- to four- hour process that must be done 2~3 times a week.
Peritoneal dialysis. It requires a high level of commitment, as this must be done every day.

While a person is on dialysis, he may experience problems. The following gives some of the common ones:

Nausea and vomiting

These conditions may occur during routine dialysis treatments. In most cases, the cause is low blood pressure. Medications may be given if these problems persist.

Fluid overload

Fluid may collect in the system between the treatment process with decreased urine output. Weight gain occurs which may vary from case to case. The intake of fluid should be restricted, as excess drinking will result in quite ill condition.

Some problems include elevated blood pressure, swollen hands, arms, and face, shortness of breath. In severe cases, congestive heart failure can be caused.

Muscle cramping

Muscle cramping of the hands, feet, and legs is very common among people on hemodialysis. Conditions that may lead to this problem are hypotension, being below dry weight, and use of low sodium dialysis solution.
