There are two reasons of numbness with dialysis:
First, numbness on the left leg is related to the fistula. Before, hemodialysis, fistula plays a role of connection between vein and artery. In the first days, the blood circulation can not function normally. Deficient blood supply to hands may lead to coldness or numbness in the legs with the fistula. After a period of time, the blood circulation can return to normal and the bad sensation will be alleviated. If the sensation becomes more severe, the patients should tell their doctor immediately as it may indicate too much leakage of fluid from hands.
The other cause of numbness on the left leg is steal syndrome. Steal syndrome means steal of blood from the distal circulation. This leads to a zone of arterial insufficiency in the tissue distal to the fistula, which is characterized by pain, ischemic neuropathy, ulceration and numbness.
Numbness is only one of the side effects of dialysis. Besides, dialysis will also lead to low blood pressure, muscle cramp, headache, itchy, infection and nausea or vomiting. These bother people very much so many patients are not willing to undergo dialysis. If they want to avoid dialysis and its side effects, they should improve their kidneys’ self-healing ability. To improve kidney function, Chinese Medicine treatment including Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy, Medicated Bath, Foot Bath, Acupuncture, Mai Kang Mixture is most effective. The active ingredients can immerse the kidney lesion directly with the help of osmosis device. Damaged kidneys can be repaired and gradually kidney function can get improved to some extent. If your kidneys can work by their own, dialysis is not necessary and also numbness on the left leg can be alleviated.
Dialysis is one way of sustaining your life span, but it is not only way. You can have a try of Chinese medicine therapy to make you live longer.
