Dialysis is not the most terrible thing for uremia

The doctor said: The most terrible thing about uremia is not dialysis, but it fails to build confidence in treatment.Dialysis is the most terrible thing for uremia?
For people with kidney disease, this is even more terrifying Uremia is a popular term for the development of chronic kidney disease to the end stage. The most important treatment is hemodialysis, which not only makes the patient feel painful, but also puts a heavy burden on the entire family.
But do you know? The most terrible thing about uremia is not dialysis.

For doctors, what is the doctor's responsibility for hospitalization?
Treat the disease well so that the patient can live a normal life.
In other words, do not let the disease continue to disturb the patient's life.
This is a relatively abstract statement. Specifically, it is to suppress or eliminate various clinical symptoms.
Such as edema, in order to reduce swelling; urine protein, to find a way to turn yin; high blood pressure, to find ways to buck ......
Elimination of symptoms is not an end, and life is not an objective.
Therefore, with some symptoms, doctors do not think it will affect their lives. There is no need for treatment.
However, for patients, the situation is completely different!
After all, the disease has appeared on oneself. Although we have not paid any attention to the body when we indulge in eating and drinking, and carnival, once we have a problem, the past neglect will turn into a thousandfold of care.
In the doctor's eyes, the unobtrusive low-grade fever appears to the patient as if the body is really burning;
The urinary protein 1+, which appears to the doctor as not being administered at all, appears to the patient as if the kidneys are already full of holes.
When patients go to hospital for treatment, they must have the greatest hope and even the last hope.
Not a last resort, most people will not choose to go to hospital for treatment.
Therefore, the greatest significance of treatment for patients is not to return to normal life, but to establish and strengthen the confidence of living.
Uremic disease can't give the patient such confidence.
Even if the dialysis is no longer painful, the cost will be higher, and the blow to the patient will not be even greater.
Especially in the regular dialysis phase, the monotonous and painful life in the distant future has completely changed the “treatment”.
Since there is no possibility of breakthroughs in medical technology in the short term, letting patients regain confidence is the focus of doctors' work.
Maybe answering a question does not produce a substantial change;
It may not be magical to express an understanding.
However, these small things can always shine in the hearts of some patients.
