Is it possible to get rid of dialysis for uremia?

Uremia is a relatively common kidney disease and is also very serious. Everyone knows that dialysis is a common treatment method. Dialysis is very painful. Simply put, the kidneys can no longer filter. Dialysis helps the kidneys remove the waste that should be removed and participates in blood circulation. However, continuous dialysis will make the kidneys increasingly lazy. So, is it possible for uremia to get rid of dialysis?

Generally speaking, there are three treatment options for patients with uremia: 1. Hemodialysis: three times a week, four hours each time, go to the agreed hospital for hemodialysis or hemodiafiltration treatment by professionals. This method has a relatively high removal efficiency. Patients only need to pay attention to controlling their water intake and protecting their arteriovenous fistulas. The hemodialyzer, commonly known as an artificial kidney, only replaces the non-functional kidney to ensure the operation of human metabolism. It does not have the function of treating kidney disease. It is a separation and purification technology that separates small molecules from biological macromolecules based on the principle of small molecules diffusing into water (or buffer) through a semipermeable membrane. It is a treatment method that allows components in body fluids to be excreted from the body through a semipermeable membrane.

2. Peritoneal dialysis: After receiving medical training in the hospital, the patient and his/her family can perform dialysis treatment at home. This requires that the patient's home has certain conditions, such as being able to set aside a room specifically for replacing peritoneal dialysis fluid to reduce the risk of infection. It also requires that the patient or his/her family have a certain level of education. This type of dialysis has a relatively low clearance rate, but is more mobile and does not require frequent visits to the hospital. 3. Kidney transplantation: The patient needs to go to a hospital with transplant authority for antibody screening and matching, and then wait for a kidney source. After the transplant, the patient needs to take immunosuppressants for life. If the transplanted kidney is well protected, it can be used for up to a dozen years. Adhere to regular dialysis treatment, actively control blood pressure, correct anemia and other symptomatic supportive treatments, and strictly control a low-salt and low-protein diet, and you can maintain a quality of life close to that of a normal person.

It is impossible to get rid of dialysis. Don't be fooled. Not doing dialysis for a short period of time usually won't kill you, but it will come at the cost of sacrificing the functions of all the organs in the body. The later you delay, the more complications there will be, the more difficult the treatment will be, the higher the risk and the higher the cost.

The only way to get rid of dialysis is kidney transplantation, but for antibody-positive patients, the possibility of rejection is high and kidney transplantation is not recommended.

People who have suffered from kidney disease know that it is extremely painful. Unlike other diseases, it has very high requirements for diet. Sexual intercourse is prohibited, and people cannot eat too much meat and fish. They should eat less protein-rich foods. They must relax. It is best to combine traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine for treatment. Finally, I sincerely wish all patients and friends a speedy recovery!
