So, patients at end stage of renal disease should positively prevent complications. In this respect, western medicine is very effective in controlling those symptoms and prevent complications. There are five different types of drugs for blood pressure. There are erythropointin and iron tablets to improve anemia; there are tablets to balance phosphorus and calcium too; And dialysis can improve electrolytes disturbance. We can not help saying that western medicine works fast in controlling those complications. This greatly increases the survival rage of end-stage renal disease patients.
However, if kidney function improves and the kidney itself can perform all those duties naturally. Traditional Chinese medicine can reverse the kidney damage to some extent, especially those who are at the beginning of end-stage renal disease and those whose condition rapidly progresses on the basis of chronic disease. There is great chance to reverse their kidney damage and help them regain their kidney function partially. In that case, if patients’ kidney function can be improved to over 15%, then patients can stop dialysis, at least reduce the frequency of dialysis.
Besides, the combination of western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine becomes another method to increase survival rate of end-stage renal disease patients. Well, if you also have the same condition, we suggest that do not give up, as long as you still alive, with time going by and developing of medical technology, there will be more and more advanced technologies to treat or cure kidney disease and help patients live a more happy life.
