What Causes Headache In Dialysis

Dialysis increases the expected lifetime of the patients with End Stage Renal Disease, but due to its terrible side effects, many patients prefer to die rater than dialysis. Headache is the most commonly seen side effect of dialysis, referring to hemodialysis here. It usually comes when dialysis is going to the end or after dialysis, and sometimes, it may become too severe to endure. Well then, what causes headache on earth in dialysis?

1. Poor control of blood pressure

One of the causes for headache in dialysis is the presence of hypertension during hemodialysis. And usually, the poor control of blood pressure is, the higher risk for headache during dialysis. Medicines like ACE inhibitors and ARBs can be used by kidey failure patients to control their blood pressure and with tight control of blood pressure, the occurrence rate of headache can be reduced greatly.

2. Dialysis disequilibrium syndrome

Another possible cause for headache among dialysis patients is dialysis disequilibrium syndrome. According to clinical studies, long dialysis duration, an effective dialysis and higher ultrafiltration rate all significantly increase the incidence of headache during dialysis. Under such a condition, asking dialysis technician to change the parameters or methods in dialysis helps to alleviate headache.

3. Fluid and electrolyte disbalance

Imbalanced fluid and electrolyte also contributes to headache. Kidney is responsible for regulating fluid balance and electrolyte balance. When kidneys shut down, excess fluid build up in the body and also electrolyte imbalance appears. Dialysis helps to remove excess fluid and electrolyte, but it can not work as well as our kidneys, so during dialysis, fluid and electrolyte disbalance may occur. Under such a condition, you need to change your daily fluid intake according to your dry weight and take some medicines to deal with electrolyte imbalance, so as to reduce the risk for headache.

4. Change of dialysis fluid

When dialysis fluid is changed, headache may also occur.

Lastly, headache is just one of the physical discomforts caused by dialysis. In some cases, apart from headache, patients may also suffer from some others like vomiting, muscle cramp, itchy skin, tiredness and sleep problems. (Consult our online doctor for proper management of these side effects)

What Can Cause Numbness On The Left Leg When One Is On Dialysis

Numbness can result from sitting in one position too long or sitting in an awkward position and then realizing, upon trying to get up, that your legs or feet are numb. This is a temporary condition that goes away. However, numbness on the left leg when one is on dialysis indicates something serious. What can cause numbness on the left leg on dialysis patients?

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.

Is Dialysis Painful

Dialysis is life-saving for kidney failure patients, but some patients should said they would rather die than have dialysis. Why is this? Is kidney dialysis painful?

Is dialysis painful?

Dialysis plays a very important role for many kidney failure patients to live longer. For this reason, some patients wrongly think they will be treatment  after dialysis. Actually this is a total wrong idea. Kidney failure can not be treatment  at all with dialysis, and once a patient starts dialysis, he needs to do dialysis regularly for the rest of his life. Worse still, dialysis is painful and risky.

Dialysis is the medical procedure in which blood is drained out of the body and then transfused back to the body after being purified by a machine. Blood is normally filtered by kidney, so when kidneys shut down, toxins will build up in the blood. Dialysis is used to replace damaged kidney to cleanse blood. It can not repair kidney damages, so kidney failure can not be treatment with dialysis. To keep blood clean, kidney failure patients have to do dialysis regularly.

Dialysis is helpful, but as the machine can not work as well as a healthy kidney, so during or after dialysis, patients always experience a group of discomforts like vomiting, muscle cramp, tiredness, dizziness, headache and even coma. Dialysis helps kidney failure patients prolong life span to some extent, but as it is painful, many patients would rater die than do dialysis.

What is the alternative for painful kidney dialysis?

Dialysis is just a way to keep blood cleanse and it is not a real treatment for kidney damages. To avoid or get off dialysis fundamentally, repairing damaged kidneys to improve kidney function is necessary.

For an affected kidney, there are healthy, injured and dead kidney tissues. So far no medicine or treatment has been proven to be able to bring dead kidney tissues to back to life, so kidney failure can not be treatment. But for the injured kidney tissues, they can be repaired by stimulating them, strengthening their self-curative ability and proving them with necessary nutrient. Kidney works through a group of kidney tissues, so when some of the injured kidney tissues are repaired, kidney function gets improved. When kidney works better, painful dialysis can be delayed or stopped.

How to Stop Kidney Dialysis

Dialysis patients are always told not to stop or skip dialysis casually as it is dangerous. However, is there really no treatment that can help to stop dialysis? If there is alternative treatment, what it is? How to stop kidney dialysis successfully?

Why is dialysis needed?

Dialysis is needed because kidneys can not help to purify blood well. Every day, large amounts of toxic substances are produced in our body during metabolism. They are normally removed out of the body through kidney, so when kidney failure is caused. These toxic substances will build up in the blood, which is a very dangerous condition for internal organs. Dialysis is needed by kidney failure patients because it can replace failed kidney to purify blood.

How to stop kidney dialysis?

If kidney failure patients stop kidney dialysis without taking any measures, toxins produced by their body will build up. These toxic substance circulate with blood and may damage other internal organs like heart. Therefore, if kidney failure patients really want to stop dialysis or avoid dialysis, they must improve their kidney function, so as to make sure the safety of other internal organs.

What is the treatment that can help improve kidney function and stop dialysis?

In Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital, Chinese medicine is used to help kidney failure patients. There are different types of Chinese medicine treatment like Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy, Feet Bath, Mai Kang mixture, Acupuncture, Medicated Bath and Enema. These treatments work differently and also they show different treatment effects. By combining them properly, not only further kidney damages can be avoided, some injured kidney intrinsic cells can be repaired successfully.

Kidney works through a group of kidney intrinsic cells, so when some of them are repaired, kidney function gets improved. Improvement of kidney function means kidney can clear some toxins away from blood. In general, dialysis is not needed any more when patient’s GFR (Glomerular Filtration Rate) is increased to be higher than 15.

Besides, Chinese medicine treatment is very effective in improving kidney function, but it works well for kidney failure patients who still have urine output. Therefore, if a dialysis patient has no urine output over a half of year, treatments we mentioned above are not suggested, as he may receive no obvious treatment effects after the treatment.

Causes of Weak Bone in Dialysis Patients

Some dialysis patients may find they become weaker and weaker, especially about their bone. Why is this? What are the causes of weak bone in dialysis patients?

Actually the number cause for weak bone in dialysis is hypocalcemia which is a condition of electrolyte imbalance wherein there is decreased level of serum calcium. Hypocalcemia is diagnosed when the concentration of free calcium ions in the blood falls below 4.0mg/dL. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and plays a very important role for bone healthy. It is also helps maintain heart rhythm, muscle function and more. Therefore, keeping calcium level in the normal range is very important.

Dialysis patients suffer from bone weakness mainly due to low calcium in the blood. Kidney is an organ with bean shape. Apart from filtering blood, it also helps to maintain electrolyte balance. Phosphorus is a very important mineral in our body. In normal condition, phosphorus level is kept in the normal range by kidney. For dialysis patients, their kidneys have been severely damaged and under a condition, phosphorus level can not be kept in the normal range any more. Large amounts of phosphos build up in the blood, leading to hyperphosphatemia. High phosphorus level in blood affect their body getting enough calcium, which can cause low calcium level directly. Bone problems like bone weakness, bone pain, bone fracture and even osteoporosis appear when hypocalcemia becomes very serious.

For dialysis patients who have weak bone, they need to ingest much more calcium through their daily diet and also try to avoid high phosphorus foods. If this condition can not be alleviated through diet, calcium supplements will be helpful.

Dietary Recommendations for Kidney Dialysis Patients

Dialysis is a replacement treatment for kidney failure patients when their kidneys are damaged severely, and the GFR is less than 15 ml/min. For dialysis patients, they also need to keep a well planed diet, which will be good for their illness condition. Then what are the dietary recommendations for kidney dialysis patients?

What Creatinine Level In Blood Indicates Dialysis

What creatinine level indicates dialysis? Dialysis is needed when kidneys shut down and creatinine level is an indicator for kidney condition, so creatinine level in blood is always used as an indicator of dialysis. Well, what creatinine level indicates dialysis on earth?

Why is creatinine level used to indicate dialysis?

Our kidneys play a very important role for a healthy body. It helps to regulate blood pressure, maintain electrolyte balance, purify blood and produce urine, so when kidneys fail to function properly, various medical problems will appear. Failed kidney can not remove toxins out of the body any more when they are damaged severely, so large amounts of toxic substances will build up in the blood at that time. Dialysis is needed by kidney failure patients because it can replace failed kidney to purify blood, so as to maintain the normal function of our body.

Creatinine is one of the wastes in the body that need to be removed by kidney, so when kidney failure is always accompanied with high creatinine level in blood. In general, the higher the serum creatinine level, the poorer the kidney function, the higher the toxin levels in the blood and the more emergency for patients to do dialysis.

What creatinine level indicates dialysis?

Generally speaking, kidney failure patients need to prepare for dialysis when their creatinine level becomes higher than 5, but of course, dialysis is not a must at at that time. If they have no symptoms like fluid retention in lung, severe vomiting and severe skin itching, they can delay dialysis. Also, if they have good urine output at that time, there is great chance for them to avoid dialysis completely if they can take right treatment as quickly as possible. (You can consult our online doctor for medical suggestions about your illness, so as to make sure you are getting the right treatment).

Serum creatinine level is just one of indicators for dialysis, apart from it, potassium level in blood is also a very important. High level of potassium in blood is extremely harmful for heart, so dialysis is also recommended when potassium level in blood is as high as 6.5mmol/L. Any questions, please leave us message below

In general, when the creatinine level is higher than 5 mg/dl, patients will be recommended to take dialysis, so patients will wonder whether dialysis is a must for creatinine 5.91 patients.

In fact, whether creatinine 5.91 patients should start dialysis is all depending on their own illness condition. As we know, creatinine is the waste product of muscle metabolism, and it is mainly excreted by kidneys. And the high creatinine 5.91 is much higher than the normal level 0.5-1.3 mg/dl, which means the kidneys have been damaged severely, and there too much toxins and wastes building up in blood.

For patients with high creatinine 5.91, if they have the severe symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, skin itching, severe swelling, high blood pressure, etc, they need to start dialysis as soon as possible. Dialysis is a replacement treatment for kidney failure patients, which can help remove the excess fluid and wastes products out into urine. Then it can help relieve the severe symptoms.

First, let’s get why serum creatinine level gets elevated for kidney failure patients.

Serum creatinine means the creatinine level in blood, which is mainly waste produce of muscle metabolism in blood, and the meat intake can also produce creatinine. The creatinine will flow into kidneys with blood circulation, which will be excreted by kidneys. However, once the kidneys are damaged severly, the kidneys will fail to work well to excrete the creatinine out into urine, then patients will have elevation of creatinine level in blood. This is why kidney failure patients will have high serum level with kidney damage.

Second, why creatinine cant be lowered effectively in dialysis?

Dialysis is a kind of treatment to help purify blood and remove the toxins and wastes out from blood. Through dialysis, it can help remove the creatinine out into urine, then the creatinine level can be reduced. However, the muscle will still produce creatinine, then the creatinine level will be increased as well after dialysis. So we can know dialysis is not the good treatment for kidney failure patients to remove the creatinine out. They need to have effective treatment to repair the damaged kidney tissues and improve kidney function. Once the kidney function is improved effectively, it can help lower the creatinine level from root.

Third, how to reduce the creatinine level effectively?

Here we recommend the “Four Therapies” in Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital, which include Maikang Mixture, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy, Oral Chinese Medicine Therapy, Foot Bath Therapy. And the effective treatments can help repair the damaged kidney tissues and improve their kidney function. Then it can help lower the creatinine level fundamentally.

What Can We Do When Blood Pressure Is Low During Dialysis

A drop in blood pressure is a common side effect of dialysis, which can be caused in many conditions. Untreated low blood pressure will lead to coma and even death. Well, what can we do when blood pressure is low during dialysis?

Major causes of low blood pressure during dialysis

Since low blood pressure is a very common side effect of dialysis, it is necessary to firstly understand why blood pressure decreases during dialysis.

-Quick removal of fluid from the body.

-The prescribed dry weight may be too low.

-Reduced response to fluid removal and this is especially common among elderly and diabetics.

-Taking anti-hypertensive drugs before dialysis

What can we do when blood pressure is low during dialysis?

Low blood pressure is a very dangerous complication of dialysis, as it may lead to death directly. Therefore, when there is severe drop in blood pressure during dialysis, we need to take actions immediately, so as to avoid unexpected consequence.

Dialysis-induced low blood pressure is always accompanied with muscle cramp, nausea, vomiting, chest pain, dizziness, weak and loss of consciousness. When these symptoms appear, blood pressure should be checked and if the blood pressure is low, effective measures should be given immediately, so as to prevent unexpected consequence. The followings are the most commonly used remedies for dialysis-induced low blood pressure.

-Check the fluid rate and adjust it as needed

-Sodium modeling: this helps to prevent further decline of blood pressure as well as elevates blood pressure.

-Trendelenburg position: keeping being in trendelenburg position also helps to remedy low blood pressure, and reduce risk for coma.

Low blood pressure is a side effect of dialysis that should be payed high attention. If you have any questions about this problem, please leave a message below or ask online doctor for help.

Top 5 Facts about Dialysis

All the kidney failure patients are familiar with dialysis, but few of them know the following top 5 facts about dialysis. Read on to see if you have misconception about dialysis.

Top 1: Dialysis only cleanses blood and can not treatment kidney failure

Dialysis is the most commonly used medical method for kidney failure, not because it can treatment kidney, but because it can replace failed kidneys to purify blood. It only helps to cleanse blood and can not repair kidney damages, so dialysis is lifelong if no treatment is given to increase kidney function.

Top 2: Not everyone with kidney failure need to do dialysis

Dialysis is most commonly mentioned by kidney failure patients, because it is usually suggested when illness develops to kidney failure stage. However, this does not mean not everyone with kidney failure need to do dialysis. In general, if patients have no symptoms like vomiting, itchy skin and pulmonary edema, they can delay dialysis or take alternative treatment to increase kidney function. Dialysis is not needed if GFR can be increased to be higher than 15.

Top 3: There is chance to stop dialysis successfully

Many people hold the idea that dialysis can not be stopped, but actually it is not true. Dialysis is needed as kidneys can not help to maintain the normal life activity. There is no treatment for chronic kidney failure, because dead kidney tissues can not be treatment , but this does not mean there is no way to increase kidney function. In medicine, many treatments like Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy, Immunotherapy, Blood Pollution Therapy and Circle Therapy can be applied to strengthen kidney. When kidney function is increased to the the level that is able to sustain the life, dialysis can be stopped.

Top 4: Dialysis is risky

Dialysis is really helpful and life-supportive, but it is also risky. Long-term dialysis always cause physical discomforts like headache, skin itching, vomiting, tiredness, infection and sleep problems. What is worse, survival rate decreases over time after starting dialysis.

Top 5: Creatinine level might keep being high after dialysis

Serum creatinine level is an important indicator to decide whether dialysis is needed. Creatinine and urea nitrogen belong to small molecular substances, and dialysis is especially effective in removing these substances, so usually high creatinine level can be reduced down to the normal range. However, in some cases, serum creatinine level is still high after dialysis, which usually means dialysis can not effectively purify blood any more.

The above are the top 5 facts about dialysis. And if you have any further questions, please leave a message below or ask online doctor for help.

From we mentioned above, we can know If we want to stop dialysis with End Stage Renal Disease, we must be sure we can keep our blood clean without dialysis. So far the most commonly mentioned method for kidney failure patients is kidney transplant except dialysis. Kidney transplant is a way, but actually not the only way. Many people believe the damaged kidneys can not be repaired, actually this is partly true. Kidney is composed of different kidney tissues. Dead kidney tissues can not be repaired, but the injured one can be repaired. By repairing injured kidney tissues, kidney function can be increased. We can stop dialysis when our kidneys work better to help us maintain the normal life activity.

Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is the treatment that can help to repair injured kidney tissues. And to increase treatment effects, it is always used together with Mai Kang mixture, Foot Bath and some other Chinese herbs.
