How to Stop Dialysis for Renal Failure Patients?

With renal fibrosis developing, renal failure will take place and patients have to take dialysis. Considering the expense, side effects and complications, patients with renal failure begins to search a new method which can help them get rid of dialysis.
One of my patients Miss Yang is a typical case. Four years ago, she got an infection, after which, she began to have swelling in eyelids, and felt headache. The blood pressure was 130/110, and the urine tests shows protein +++， occult blood +++. Miss Yang was diagnosed with renal glomeruli nephritis in a hospital of Beijing. With the guidance of doctor, she had prednisone, cyclophosphamide, captopril. After these medicines, she felt better and protein in urine and red blood cells in urine disappeared. However, the symptoms can not disappear forever. They recur easily especially after infection such as flu. When it recured once more, Miss Yang went to Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital. After she was discharged in our hospital, we arranged a systematic physical examination for her. The serum creatinine was 587umol/L. BUN is 9.75 mmol/L. Protein in urine was +++, occult blood ++. She also felt nausea, vomiting, edema in face, severe high blood pressure and anemia.
5 days after she received Chinese Medicine,Miss Yang stopped hypotensor. About 20 days after Chinese Medicine, her mental condition become better and felt liking eating. The amount of urine increased as well. What’s more, serum creatinine decreased to 350umol/L. BUN decreased to 5.43mmol/L. She needn’t take dialysis, and take in large amount of medicine. Now she is still under dialysis. In addition, she also take stem cell transplant.
Doctor’s comment:
Chinese Medicine can improve the blood flow in the kidney, increase the amount of urine. It can also promote the secretion of EPO, activate the hematopoietic function of marrow, thus relieving anemia. What’s more, Chinese Medicine can also extend the blood vessels, decrease the secretion of renin, which can lower high blood pressure.
With the help of Chinese Medicine and stem cell, renal failure patients can stop dialysis.
