Hemodialysis (hemodialysis for short) is also called artificial kidney, and some people call it kidney dialysis or kidney washing. It is a blood purification technology. In the world, uremia patients basically rely on dialysis to maintain their lives. Hemodialysis has certain significance in relieving symptoms and prolonging survival time. Hemodialysis is based on the principle of membrane balance, which allows the patient's blood to pass through a membrane or pipeline with many small holes, which is called semi-permeable membrane in medicine. These pores allow molecules smaller than them to pass through, while molecules larger than the membrane pores are prevented from staying. The semipermeable membrane is in contact with dialysate containing certain chemical components. During dialysis, the patient's blood flows through the small gap formed by the semi-permeable membrane, and the dialysate flows outward, so that large particles such as red blood cells, white blood cells and protein cannot pass through the small holes of the semi-permeable membrane; Water, electrolytes and metabolites in blood, such as urea, creatinine and guanidine, can diffuse into dialysate through semi-permeable membrane; Substances in dialysate, such as bicarbonate and acetate, can also diffuse into the blood, thus eliminating harmful substances in the body and supplementing substances needed in the body.

What are the hazards of dialysis?

At present, there are many dialysis hospitals all over the world, which basically use dialysis as a technical means to prolong the survival of patients. Therefore, everyone advocates long-term dialysis, which means that the patient has a "machine kidney", and the original kidney is gradually shrinking and useless. Hemodialysis does more harm than good: First, it increases the difficulty and cost of treatment. Secondly, at this time, the organ damage of the whole body is obvious, and some of them are irreversible hazards. Third, the complications after dialysis are more and more serious. Fourth, after starting dialysis, the quality of life is poor, the survival time is short, the original renal failure, and it is impossible to actively choose the dialysis method that suits you according to your specific situation. Fifth, late dialysis increases the cost of treatment.

How to avoid the harm of dialysis?

In the face of uremia patients with creatinine as high as 1000, dialysis is inevitable, and dialysis at this time can also play a key role in alleviating various complications and saving patients' lives, but this is only temporary. Therefore, while the symptoms of dialysis patients improve, their harm should also be considered. It is best to treat with traditional Chinese medicine, starting with the damaged renal function and protecting the residual renal function. Only in this way can we hope to stay away from complications step by step and avoid the permanent harm of dialysis to the body.

After many years of clinical practice, many nephrologists in Shenzhong Hospital of Anhui Province have successfully developed a good prescription for treating nephrosis-traditional Chinese medicine Yunhuo Huoshen characteristic therapy combined with Huoshen series prescriptions. By regulating the whole body immune function and repairing the glomerular basement membrane, the effective components of the drug can permeate and spread to the patient's kidney through acupoints, with the aim of dispersing kidney and promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis and reducing turbidity, and expelling toxin. Promote and improve the microcirculation of atrophic and necrotic kidneys, accelerate the metabolism of diseased kidneys, give full play to the effective components in drugs, repair damaged glomeruli, enhance the reabsorption of glomeruli, and restore the normal physiological function of kidneys, thus reducing serum creatinine and urea nitrogen to normal.
