The Side Effects of Kidney Dialysis

When kidney disease develops into a more serious stage, the creatinine level would rise higher in patients. In western countries, no effective treatment can be adopted to reduce the level of creatinine except for renal dialysis. However, this therapy has side effects so patients should know some in order to avoid a further bad illness condition.

Heart failure

People with renal failure cannot filter the potassium from the body. Dialysis is a best way to remove it, but potassium cannot be discharged when it combines with macromolecule substances. So even after dialysis, they also have the risk of heart failure.

Low blood pressure

Low blood pressure is very common for patients with dialysis. About 20%-40% of patients would suffer it. Many factors may lead to this symptom, such as too much fluid is filtered through dialysis devices. If you have these side effects during dialysis, you had better inform the staff in order to remit your suffering.

Less urine

Proper renal dialysis can remit patients sufferings and many symptoms. The key point is that it can sustain people’s lives, for it is an artificial kidney to filter excess fluid and salt as well as waste material. However, long-term dialysis would lead to a nonfunctional kidney which gradually does not work and form no urine. In the end, the kidney is full of scars and damages. Other functions of kidneys will be stopped, so patients will have anemia and osteoporosis etc.

Infection and clotting

Intensive care for the access for dialysis is very important for dialysis. The access may be infected by the foreign invaders. The access also may become clotted with blood. If the access is blocked, another access is needed and gives more sufferings for patients.


In order to avoid the side effect of dialysis, patients may need to improve the renal function. In our hospital, Immunotherapy is the best treatment to produce new renal tissues so as to repair kidneys. In this way, even if you have lost most of kidney function, you can also get a normal ability to discharge wastes and excess water after this therapy.
