Severe Headache After Dialysis

Headache is one of the common dialysis complications and usually occurs when dialysis is going to the end or after dialysis. Here I will introduce how dialysis cause headache and how to prevent it.
How does dialysis cause headache?
Generally speaking, headache in dialysis occurs because of the following several factors:
1. poor control of blood pressure
2.Dialysis Disequilibrium Syndrome (DDS)
3. Imbalanced electrolyte

Dialysis is just a medical method that help to remove toxins from the blood. Toxins or wastes in our blood should be normally discharged by our kidney, however because of kidney failure, these toxins can not be excreted timely, as a consequent of this, toxins build up in the blood. These toxins not only damage our kidney,but also threaten our other internal organs, so removing them is necessary. Under such a condition, dialysis is applied.
Dialysis indeed help to clean blood, but long-term application always present serious complications which may become the final cause of patient's death. Therefore, even though dialysis is helpful and at the same time, it is fatal.
For people with early stage kidney problem, they can prevent kidney failure through Immunotherapy which treats kidney problem through repairing kidney damages. As long as kidney damages are repaired, kidney function increase and also toxins are cleared away. With clean blood, no dialysis is needed and also no headache is caused.
