What to do if dialysis patients suffer from insomnia

Dialysis is a treatment method developed in medicine in recent years. It is especially suitable for patients with kidney failure and uremia. Dialysis can be used to eliminate toxins in the body and maintain health. However, dialysis has great side effects. Dialysis can cause insomnia, vomiting, and nausea in patients. Dialysis can cause skin edema by purifying the blood. Patients can easily suffer from poor sleep quality due to high stress. Here are several treatment options.

Patients with uremia can maintain their body functions through blood pressure dialysis, and good sleep is very important for the dialysis effect. Insomnia is one of the common symptoms of hemodialysis patients because dialysis causes skin itching, or excessive economic and psychological pressure are common causes of insomnia. Rest on time, relax, eliminate bad emotions in time, and have a relaxed mood to improve sleep quality.

One of the side effects of hemodialysis is insomnia. One of the side effects of hemodialysis is itching of the patient's skin, which can affect sleep. In addition, high-efficiency dialysis can lead to cerebral edema, and insomnia is prone to occur the night after dialysis; another possibility is that excessive psychological pressure leads to insomnia. It is recommended to maintain a good mood and deal with skin itching. I believe that insomnia will be relieved.

Insomnia is one of the common symptoms of hemodialysis patients. The factors that usually cause insomnia in patients are as follows: First, long-term hemodialysis patients have urea deposited on the skin surface to form a layer of urea frost, which can cause dry and itchy skin. At the same time, long-term dialysis can lead to peripheral neuropathy, renal anemia, and restless legs syndrome caused by secondary hyperthyroidism. These can make patients feel unwell and have difficulty falling asleep, interrupted sleep, and difficulty falling asleep after waking up.

High-efficiency dialysis during the dialysis process will cause the urea nitrogen in the blood to be cleared too quickly and excessively, causing the extracellular fluid solutes to move too quickly, resulting in the osmotic pressure of the cerebrospinal fluid falling slower than the osmotic pressure of the blood. This gradient difference causes dialysis imbalance and forms cerebral edema, and insomnia is prone to occur that night after dialysis. In addition, the occurrence of insomnia is closely related to the patient's psychological factors. Patients often reduce their social activities due to regular dialysis. At the same time, the cost of dialysis is high, the economic burden is increased, and excessive mental stress causes insomnia. Every night, due to the worry of difficulty falling asleep, they become mentally excited. The more they force themselves to sleep, the more they cannot fall asleep.
