Different Treatment Methods For Uremia

How is uremia treated in clinic? Uremia is a severe stage of chronic kidney disease and may cause deadly complications like heart failure. Therefore, treating uremia actively is very important for patients to prolong their life span and increase life quality. However, what are the treatment methods for uremia in clinic?
Treatment methods for uremia go as follow:
1. Preventing and treating the primary disease, so as to prevent the further destruction to the renal parenchyma.
2.For patients with chronic renal failure,their kidneys work mainly through residual kidney tissues. At that time, any factors that can increase kidney burn  can aggravate renal failure; therefore actively eliminating harmful factors that can deteriorate kidney condition is very necessary. Common aggravating factors include tight control of infection control and high blood pressure. Furthermore,  in order to maintain a stable internal environment, correcting the water, electrolyte imbalance and acidosis is necessary.
3. Dialysis.For renal failure patients with uremia,effective measures should be taken to maintain a stable internal environment. Common measures are  peritoneal dialysis, hemodialysis (artificial kidney), etc. When necessary, kidney transplant can be applied to replace the failed kidneys.
4. Drugs. Chinese medicine and western medicine have their own strengths. For western medicine, it does not show very good effects in treating nephritis, uremia, renal failure, polycystic kidney disease and hydronephrosis, but they show quick effects in controlling symptoms. Western drugs such as hormone therapy, show limited effects and if used for a long time, side effects will be caused. What is worse, kidney disease relapses easily if treated with these medications. Compared with western medicines, Chinese medicine is more preferable, as it causes no side effects during the whole treatment process. What is more, it can help to prevent the relapse of illness condition and strengthen patients' immune system.
5. Kidney transplant. The survival rate is limited for people with kidney transplant. Additional, there maybe severe kidney rejection after the surgery.
