What to do if you have uremia

With the continuous advancement of science and technology, people's living standards are constantly improving, and the food they eat is becoming more and more diverse. Every organ in the human body is likely to become diseased, and modern life and work and rest also increase the possibility of organ disease in the human body. For example, kidney disease may cause a variety of diseases, such as uremia. People may panic when they hear about uremia, but with the development of medical technology, there is no disease that is incurable. Next, let us understand what we should do if we have uremia?

Many people do not know why they suffer from uremia. Experts say that uremia is actually caused by long-term uncured kidney disease. It is a chronic kidney disease and can also be called "the second cancer". What are the common symptoms of uremia? For this question, quite a number of people are not very clear. In order to detect and treat it in the first place, let's take a look at the common symptoms of uremia.

Common symptoms of uremia

1. Edema: For patients with uremia, edema is an early symptom that is relatively easy to detect. Because the patient's kidneys can no longer completely remove excess water from the body, the fluid is retained in the interstitial spaces of the body, thus inducing edema.

2. Hypertension: Patients with uremia will have varying degrees of hypertension. Because the kidneys have the function of excreting water and sodium, when kidney function is impaired, water and sodium will be retained in the human body, leading to high blood pressure. At the same time, the kidneys also secrete substances that cause blood pressure to rise.

3. Yellow complexion: The yellow complexion of patients with uremia is caused by anemia. Because this change occurs and develops very slowly, patients will not notice a significant contrast in complexion for a long time, which is also a symptom of uremia that is easily ignored.

4. Skin itching: This is also a common early symptom of uremia, which may be caused by the stimulation of toxic products on skin receptors.

5. Impaired immune function: The incidence of urinary tract infection is 44%, and gastrointestinal and skin infections are more common.

6. Decreased urine volume: Due to decreased renal filtration function, some patients will experience decreased urine volume as the disease progresses. However, there are also many patients whose urine volume is normal, but the toxins excreted in the urine are reduced. Therefore, the quality of kidney function cannot be judged solely by urine volume. This is also a symptom of uremia.

Liu Jialan, a nephrologist at our hospital, said: Since uremia is a serious disease, when symptoms are discovered, patients must seek medical attention in a timely manner to control the disease. Delays must not occur, which may cause serious consequences. Selective treatment methods are also needed.

Scientific treatment is efficient

The "DA-C Chinese and Western Medicine Dual Conduction Treatment System" emphasizes the comprehensive use of multiple methods: Chinese medicine dialysis, skin fumigation to clear away heat and detoxify, promote blood circulation and diuresis, promote the excretion of toxins and alleviate symptoms; in vitro therapy promotes drug absorption, accelerates detoxification, and improves kidney microcirculation; ion introduction, meridian medication and blood circulation, enhances immunity, and regulates overall balance; psychological counseling and health management regulate health, consolidate, and prevent recurrence; supercritical CO2 extraction technology promotes drug absorption, improves utilization, and enhances.

1. Purification - raising the clear and lowering the turbid, efficient detoxification

Highly active preparations act directly on the lesions to regulate the human kidney function, promote blood circulation, regulate water, electrolyte and acid-base balance, eliminate the accumulation of toxic metabolites, and alleviate symptoms. At the same time, Chinese medicine dialysis, acupoint penetration and other methods are used to improve microcirculation, enhance the ability of kidney cells to repair, and promote the recovery of kidney function.

2. Strengthen the foundation - warm the kidney and strengthen the foundation, replenish essence and benefit qi

It regulates the balance of yin and yang in the human body as a whole, by warming and nourishing the spleen and kidneys, replenishing vital energy, nourishing yin and blood, strengthening the body and replenishing deficiency, coordinating the self-regulatory abilities of the five internal organs of the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys, strengthening the self-compensatory function, and improving the state of insufficient heart qi, poor blood circulation, and long-term illness and physical weakness caused by drug-induced kidney damage.

3. Repair - Activate reversal and improve immunity

Through natural therapies such as Chinese medicine fumigation and meridian penetration, we can invigorate blood circulation, remove harmful substances such as creatinine and urea nitrogen in the blood, enhance the body's immune ability, repair damaged kidney cells, activate dying kidney units, reverse the fibrosis process, and restore the detoxification function.

4. Consolidation - Adjusting care to prevent recurrence

Through appropriate psychological counseling and strict health management, patients are guided to correctly understand the disease and reduce negative emotions such as anxiety and fear. Help patients develop good eating and living habits, improve their quality of life, promote physical recovery, and avoid deterioration and recurrence.

Treatment is mainly through renal replacement therapy, namely hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, and kidney transplantation.

[Surgical treatment]

A kidney transplant is the surgical placement of a kidney from a donor into a recipient to restore kidney function. Currently, kidney transplant surgery has become relatively mature and standardized, and the management of related medical issues is the key to affecting the patient's long-term survival rate. In addition, actively addressing the shortage of donor kidneys is an urgent issue in order to benefit more patients with end-stage renal disease.

[Other treatments]

Hemodialysis (also known as "artificial kidney") is one of the most widely used treatments for uremia. The method involves introducing the patient's blood and dialysate into the dialyzer at the same time to remove uremic toxins in the blood and excess water in the body. Peritoneal dialysis uses the human peritoneum as a dialysis membrane to purify blood. The dialysate is introduced into the patient's abdominal cavity. The toxins and excess water in the blood pass through the peritoneum into the dialysate in the abdominal cavity and are then discharged from the body.
