Chronic Renal Failure Patients Have to Rely on Dialysis? This is an idea most of patients with kidney failure have in their mind which cost a lot and bother patients and their families a lot. Then what’s the reason? First, let us see what chronic renal failure is and what dialysis is, then you may have a clear idea about it.
Chronic renal failure, abbreviated as CRF, refers to a process of progressive decline of kidney function due to caused by various type of kidney disease to complete kidney failure manifested with a series of final symptoms and clinical metabolic disturbance syndromes, End-stage of chronic failure is also the commonly called uremia, which is not a separate disease but a group of clinical syndromes of end-stage of various types of kidney disease.
Hemodialysis is that patients’ blood is lead to a dialysis machine through tube, then goes through dialysis membrane and dialyzate and finally returns to patient’s body after purification so as to discharge metabolic waste, improve electrolytes disturbance and balance acid-base imbalance. As known to all, high toxin level inside human body can affect other organs like heart, blood system, digestive system, etc. When conservative treatment isn’t able to relieve high toxin condition, dialysis becomes necessary for them, especially long-term dialysis to work as replacement treatment so as to prevent and treat various of complications and other discomforts.
Although dialysis is the necessary method for renal failure and uremia patients to maintain their life, it just can remove metabolic wastes from their body, and it isn’t a cure which can not stop renal fibrosis or repair the damaged kidney cells. So only with dialysis, patients can not recover from kidney failure. That’s why chronic renal failure patients have to rely on dialysis.
So, if patients take action in time to protect residual kidney function and restore the impaired kidney functional cells, duly stopping progression of renal fibrosis, there is chance for them to stop dialysis and do not have to rely on dialysis any more.
