How much kidney function can you survive without dialysis? In this article, you will find out the answer.
First of all, let’s see when you need to start dialysis.
Generally speaking, when GFR is lower than 15, dialysis is recommended. But for some renal patients, they do not have any discomforts. In such a case, they can put off dialysis. When GFR is lower than 5, dialysis is a must. That is to say, as long as your GFR is over 5, you can survive without dialysis, but some other treatment is needed to prevent serious complications.
Alternatives to dialysis
In end stage renal disease (ESRD), the most severe problem is the high toxin concentration in the blood. Those toxins can not only cause further kidney damage, but also affect all body systems so as to threaten your life. The main function of dialysis is to cleanse the blood. If there is other treatment to help eliminate those toxins, you can avoid dialysis.
After years of research and clinical practice, Peking Tung Shin Tang Chinese Medical Hospital develops Toxin-Removing Treatment, also known as Detoxification Therapy. This treatment is made up of 9 therapies. Those therapies can work together to increase your urination, sweating and bowel movement to eliminate waste products and extra fluid from body. But this is not the only goal. If you can not restore renal function, those wastes will build up in the body again. This treatment can dilate blood vessels and remove stasis to improve blood circulation and increase blood flow into kidneys so that enough essential elements can be transported into nidus to speed up kidney recovery. Moreover, it can restore the balance of anti-inflammatory cytokines and pro-inflammatory cytokines to reduce renal inflammation and control the disease from getting worse.
After about one week’s treatment, your urine will become cloudy and smelly due to the existence of toxins.
After about half month’s treatment, high creatinine, urea and uric acid level will be reduced.
After about one month’s treatment, your illness condition will be under control, and renal function will be improved gradually. And then it is possible for you to keep dialysis away.
