As we all known, the long term of dialysis will take away the patients’
remaining kidney function, in this case, how to protect the remaining kidney
function for dialysis patients become a major concern to more and more kidney
disease patients. The methods are as below:

patients should according to the doctor's advice, because some drugs can not
only cure the disease, but collect toxins, besides, patients should careful with
renal toxicity drugs to prevent kidney function.
2. Control blood pressure

stable, especially during the dialysis. Low blood pressure can lead to renal
hypoperfusion, reduce the residual renal function; high blood pressure will
induce glomerular hypertension, aggravate renal damage.
3. Prevent infection
Dialysis can lead to infection easily, which will cause kidney function
damage.
4. control the blood lipid levels
Lipid metabolism disorders is common in the process of dialysis, high blood
lipid will aggravate the kidney function damage.
5. Improve nutritional status

and inflammation easily, the three bad conditions can form a vicious circle,
becoming a important cause of kidney function damage.
Dialysis can only replace the kidney to expel out the metabolites and toxins,
which can not treat the disease on root pathogenesis, so patients should seek a

fibrosis, duly improve kidney function. More details please refer to: Life Expectancy After Stopping Dialysis
