1. Limit the fluid intake
As we know, water is a necessary substance for people, so people often be recommended to drink more water everyday. But for peritoneal dialysis patients, they need to limit the fluid intake. Because too much fluid intake will increase the kidney burden and worsen their symptoms such as swelling and high blood pressure.
2. Limit the salt intake
For peritoneal dialysis patients, they also need to limit the salt intake, because it can increase kidney burden, and the high salt intake will cause severe swelling in body. So patients need to limit the foods high in salt and sodium.
3. Limit the potassium intake
Peritoneal dialysis patients also need to limit the foods high in potassium, because the high potassium level in blood will cause some severe symptoms such as irregular heart beat, heart failure or even sudden death. So patients need to limit the foods high in potassium.
Above are some of the precautions for peritoneal dialysis patients. Besides, if patients still have urine, they can also take the alternative treatment to improve their kidney function.
In Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital, we use Chinese herbal medicine to help repair the damaged kidney tissues and improve the kidney function, which include Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy, Foot Bath Therapy, Oral Chinese Medicine Therapy, Maikang Mixture, etc. Once the kidney function is improved effectively, it can help reduce the frequency of doing peritoneal dialysis or even stop the dialysis.
