Comparison of Dialysis and Kidney Transplant

Dialysis and Kidney Transplant are two important substitutive therapies for the patients with End Stage Renal Failure. They supplement each other and both have advantages and disadvantages.

Dialysis is used to replace the native kidneys, but it still has many defects at the same time. For the patients with End Stage Renal Failure, during their wait for Kidney Transplant, they need to depend on dialysis to maintain their life. Moreover, after Kidney Transplant, many patients may encounter anuria, rejection reaction or failure of Kidney Transplant so they also need dialysis to maintain their life. Therefore, dialysis is the base of Kidney Transplant.

Moreover, the kidney source is rare. Although some countries have take measures to collect corpse kidneys, but the kidneys source can not meet their need of the patients with Renal Failure. However, with the technology development, the property has much improvement. In theory, dialysis will play a more important role in maintaining the life of patients with Renal Failure.

For family dialysis, the survival rate is about 65% in 6 years, which is approximately the same with that of living donor Kidney Transplant. And the survival rate of hospital dialysis is 50% within 6 years, which is also just the same with that of cadaveric Kidney Transplant. Therefore, dialysis and Kidney Transplant have no much difference in maintaining the life expectancy of the patients with Renal Failure. In fact, at present, dialysis still does not have a perfect state. It not only can not reach the filtration function of glomeruli, but also even can not remove the middle molecular metabolic products. Although dialysis has been improved greatly in recent years, it can still not replace the whole function of glomeruli and renal tubular. We all know that kidneys not only can filter blood, but also have important endocrine function such as producing renin, erythrogenin, prostaglandin and so on. However, dialysis can not meet these physiological functions. Therefore, the complications of dialysis can be corrected by Kidney Transplant.

However, the patients with Renal Failure should also take into the complications of Kidney Transplant and serious immune rejection reaction after Kidney Transplant.


From the above, it can be seen that dialysis and Kidney Transplant have both advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, the patients need to choose a suitable therapy based on their own disease condition and physical condition. However, both of the two therapies have too many side effects on the patients. Therefore, the patients should receive a better therapy instead of Kidney Transplant and dialysis.

Hemodialysis Can Cause Hypertension and How to Deal with It

Hemodialysis is the main therapy for the patients with End Stage Renal Failure. During dialysis process, the patients’ uremic symptoms have improvement obviously. However, hemodialysis can not replace the native kidneys totally and also it may cause many complications. Hypertension is a common complication for the patients on hemodialysis, which is a risky factor of cardiovascular complications. A good control of blood pressure can alleviate and delay atherosclerosis thus decreasing the incidence of cardiovascular complications and their death rate so as to prolong their life expectancy. Therefore, it is very necessary for the patients on hemodialysis to know the causes of hypertension and how to deal with it.

1. Increased volume load

Hemodialysis can accelerate the decline of the residual renal function thus causing urine output to decline. Therefore, if the patients can not keep a proper diet and have inadequate dialysis, it is very likely to cause severe volume load.

2. Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system

For some patients with hypertension, although they have adequate dialysis and control their dry body weight, it is still very hard for them to control their blood pressure within the normal range. What’s worse, the more serious dehydration is, the higher blood pressure will be. However, excision of kidneys can help decline blood pressure. It proves that renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system can plays an important role in regulating blood pressure.

3. Application of EPO

In body, more than 90% of EPO is secreted by kidneys. As kidneys are damaged, less EPO is secreted, which is the main cause of renal anemia. The application of recombinant human erythropoietin becomes the main measure in treating anemia. However, EPO has a direct function in contracting blood vessels.

As hypertension is an important factor in causing cardiovascular complications and death, it is very important for the patients on hemodialysis to take measures to deal with it.

The patients on hemodialysis should have adequate dialysis. It can help decrease the retention of water and sodium thus benefiting the control of hypertension.

1. Keep standard dry body weight

When starting hemodialysis, the patients should remove the excessive fluid in body gradually. Within 6~8 weeks, they should reach their standard dry body weight so as to avoid hypotension and cramp.

2. Limit sodium intake

The sodium intake should not exceed 6 grams per day. Meanwhile, the sodium concentration in dialysis fluid should also be decreased.

3. Switch to hemofiltration

Hemofiltration can control body fluid better than hemodialysis and also can remove some middle molecular substances relative to hypertension. Therefore, if the refractory hypertension, they can switch to hemofiltration.


If the patients can follow the above tips and treat hypertension effectively, they will be able to reduce the damage to them.

Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is a Conservative and Natural Treatment for Kidney Failure

Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is a natural herbal therapy applied externally on skin of lower back. Herbal bags containing dozens of herb medicine are soaked in penetrants, and then the herbal bag is placed on lower back. Under the help of osmosis device, effective ingredients of herbal medicine will infiltrate into kidneys directly.

This therapy acts on kidney directly and it takes effect fast. The main curative effect of this therapy is to promote whole body blood circulation, and especially the blood circulation within the kidneys. As you know, kidney function decline is closely related to insufficient blood supply to functional kidney cells. This insufficient blood supply main stem from proliferated kidney cellular matrix, blood circulation blocks like stasis or thrombus, as well as less blood flow into kidneys due to whole body blood circulation problem. And, the insufficient blood supply to these functional cells of kidneys will accelerate the aggravation speed of kidney condition.

If analyzed from cytology, when kidney function decline occurs, there are three type of cells in the kidneys. There are healthy cells that are overburdened, and there are damaged but still reversible cells, and there are completely necrotic cells that have no function at all. For these necrotic ones, no method can save their function, not even this natural herbal therapy. However, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy creates a great environment for the self-repairing of these damaged but still reversible cells, and prevents kidney function from further declining. This therapy can also somehow promotes overall kidney function to a more satisfying level. But more specifically speaking, this is a conservative treatment method.

This therapy is commonly used in treating kidney diseases like glomerular nephritis, cystic kidney disease and Diabetic nephritis that are not closely related to immunity disorder. Or, this therapy is applied to patients with relatively slight kidney function decline.

As to other kidney diseases like IgA nephropathy, Lupus Nephropathy and Purpura Nephropathy that are closely related to immune system disorder, or if there is serious overall kidney function decline, Immunotherapy transplant is commonly recommended to apply at the same time. This is because that Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can hardly rectify the dysfunction of immunity, nor regenerating more functional kidney cells to replace these necrotic ones.
However, Immunotherapy transplant can help with this. This is because that Immunotherapy are original cells of the body, and after cultivation, they can differentiate into various functional cells of the body. Due to its multi-directional differentiation potential, Immunotherapy is commonly recommended in treating immune related cells and restoring overall kidney function.


In short, the combination of Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy and Immunotherapy give a good chance for better kidney function restoration. As mentioned before, whether can how this therapy can help with your specific case, please send more details about your condition or that of your loved ones to kidney-treatment@hotmail.com and I will help with more.

Chinese Herbs for Renal Insufficiency

If you know Chinese culture, you should know traditional Chinese herbs culture. It origins from the thousands of years ago and has showed its tremendous effect in treating various diseases. In recent years, Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital in China has a further development of traditional Chinese herb and has introduced a new therapy: Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy into the treatment of Kidney Disease.

Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is an innovation of traditional Chinese herbs and has its own unique characteristics.

In the traditional herbs therapy, the herbs have to be boiled for a long time before taken. In that process, the medicine effect will be discounted greatly. Moreover, as the traditional herbs are oral-taken medicines, they can cause much irritation to intestinal tract and stomach. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is an external therapy so it totally gets rid of the above mentioned shortcomings of the traditional Chinese herbs. After the herbs are superfinely shattered with the help of the advanced machines, they can be penetrated into kidney lesions directly through channels and collaterals on kidney area with the help of penetrants and osmosis devices. Therefore, the patients can get a completed absorption of the medicines.

Moreover, compared with the western medicines, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy also shows its unique therapeutic advantages. In the western medicines, dialysis and Kidney Transplant are only two therapies for the patients with Renal Insufficiency. Although they have showed their tremendous effect in improving kidney disease, they still cause a lot of side effects to the patients.

Once the patients with Renal Insufficiency start dialysis, they have to disorder their routine life and make their plan around their dialysis session. What’s worse, they have to deal with a series of complications such as hypotension, skin itch, and heart failure and so on. The patients have to endure so many sufferings before Kidney Transplant is possible. However, Kidney Transplant also brings many worries to the patients. Firstly, they have to face the problem of rare kidney source. Many patients may die in their wait for Kidney Transplant. Moreover, many patients have to encounter sever rejection reaction. Many patients may lose their renal function in a short time.

Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is a natural remedy. The medicines used in the therapy are all plants deprived from the nature so this therapy does not have side effects at all. It aims at repairing the damaged renal function. Micro-Chinese medicines can provide the nutrients for repairing the damaged renal intrinsic cells thus improving their function greatly. Moreover, it can treat the fundamental causes of Renal Insufficiency. For example, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can shrink cysts for the patients with Polycystic Kidney Disease, degrade immune complex for the patients with IgA Nephropathy.


In a word, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy treats Renal Insufficiency not only from its symptoms, but also from its root causes. Therefore, the patients can get a better therapeutic effect. If you are or loved ones are patients with Renal Insufficiency and are bored of the present therapy and want to try a new therapy, you can consult us on line or email to kidney-treatment@hotmail.com.

Can Patients with Diabetes Drink Cola

Cola is a popular drink all over the world, especially among the young people. However, the patients with Diabetes have strict dietary limits. Do they permit to drink to alcohol? The following articles will response to the question.

Cola is a kind of sodas, which contains abundant carbon dioxide that can help kill bacteria. In addition, the carbon dioxide also can bring the excessive calorie in body so as to decrease our body temperature. Therefore, we can feel very cool when drinking cola in summer. However, besides water and carbon dioxide, cola also conations much refined sugar, caramel colour, carbonic acid, spice (including caffeine). Cola nearly does not contain protein or fat. Its high energy is mainly from refined sugar. Also cola does not have dietary fiber and only composes of a small amount of mineral substances.

For the patients with Diabetes, the high energy, but low nutrients in the cola increase the risk of obesity. However, we all know that obesity is an important inducement in causing and aggravating Diabetes.

Moreover, the carbonic acid, caffeine can cause the calcium from bones, which can threaten the growth of bones severely. As many patients with Diabetes are complicated with osteoporosis, drinking cola can aggravate the primary disease.

The patients with Diabetes often have intestinal diseases. If they drink too much cola at a time, the carbon dioxide released from cola is very likely to cause abdominal distension, decreased appetite. Especially when drinking iced cola, it may cause gastrointestinal disorders.


Therefore, the patients with Diabetes should avoid drinking cola as possible as they can. If you want to know more about diet suggestions for the patients with Diabetes, please consult us on line or email to kidney-treatment@hotmail.com.

Can Kidney Failure Patients Stop Dialysis

Dialysis is the common method used for kidney failure patients. Dialysis can help the patients live a longer, and enjoy a higher quality life. For in kidney failure stage, the toxins will build up in their body, and if dialysis can't be adopted in time, it will cause many more complications.

Then once the patients start dialysis, can they stop it or get rid of it?

This depends on the individual conditions, and generally there are two situations for this:

For the patients who have started dialysis not long, and urine output is quite normal, if they can take some treatment to repair the damaged kidney cells at early stage, the left kidney function can be reserved, and prevented from further deteriorating. This is the first step, to protect the remaining kidney functions from damaging. The second step is to input new lives. The metabolism of life is the continuous supplement of the new cells with the death of the old cells. So if there are more cells can be transfused into the body, there will be more cells that can function replacing the dead ones.

However, for some patients who have had dialysis for several years, and have hardly no urine output, it will be very hard for them to get rid or stop dialysis. In this stage, their kidneys have been deserted for too long, and have already lost the working ability. No or not enough cells can maintain the condition, even transfusing some new lives into the body.

In treating kidney diseases, the patients should grasp the right time for treatment. Kidney disease is a kind of chronic disease, and if it can be treated in the early stage, and prevented from developing into late stages, the patients may avoid the later dialysis, or kidney transplant.

What to Do for Nausea in Renal Failure

Nausea is common symptom for the patients with Renal Failure. It can affect their appetite thus causing malnutrition, which can decline their resistance and aggravate their primary disease. Therefore, solving nausea problem is very important for the patients with Renal Failure.

Nausea in Renal Failure is caused by digestive system dysfunction. As the kidney function declines, the kidneys lose their normal excretion function. Therefore, the urea nitrogen level in blood will increase.

Urea nitrogen level in blood increases. The urea in intestinal tract is decomposed into ammonia with the help of urea enzyme, which will irritate the gastrointestinal mucosa thus causing nausea. Especially in the morning, the nausea may be particularly obvious. As the patients with Renal Failure often have increased urination at night, they can lose a large amount of body fluid so the fluid concentrates in the morning and the urea nitrogen level is relatively high.

In order to avoid nausea, the patients should have enough fluid supplements so as to avoid blood concentration and keep blood urea nitrogen level stale. However, as many patients may have oliguria, they should keep proper fluid intake with their doctors' guidance.

What's the important for solving the nausea in Renal Failure is to recover the normal excretion function. In many years' clinical practices, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy has showed its tremendous effect in treating Renal Failure.

The effective integrants in Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can dilate renal blood vessels thus improving blood circulation, which can improve the excretion of urea nitrogen and other metabolic wastes. Moreover, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can provide the necessary nutrients for repairing the damaged renal intrinsic cells so the kidneys will improve their excretion function greatly.


In a word, nausea is only a complication of Renal Failure. In order to solve the problem, the patients should treat the fundamental cause of the disease. If so, they will be able to get a better improvement.
