For some kidney failure patients, they often have abdominal distention, which causes a series of discomforts. In this article, let’s see the treatment of abdominal distention from kidney failure.
Causes of abdominal distention for kidney failure patients
This is often a result of water retention in the abdomen. When kidneys fail to work, extra fluid can not be eliminated from body, so they build up in your body. When there is severe swelling, you may have abdominal distention.
Besides, if your kidney failure is associated with polycystic kidney disease (PKD), the enlarged kidneys oppress your stomach, leading to abdominal distention.
Treatment of abdominal distention for kidney failure patients
If it is water retention, diuretics can be used to flush out the extra fluid. If it is the enlarged polycystic kidneys, you need to shrink kidney cysts.
In Kidney Disease Hospital China, we often use Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy. This is an external application of herbal medicine, which can infiltrate the micronized herbs into kidneys to take effect. It can dilate blood vessels and speed up blood microcirculation on cyst wall so that fluid can be taken away. It can also suppress the abnormal secretion of lining cells to reduce the production of cyst fluid. Under these two functions, cysts will shrink, and then abdominal distention will get relieved.
In addition, Toxin-Removing Treatment is often used in kidney failure treatment. This is a systemic treatment, which can eliminate waste products and extra fluid from body. It can also dilate blood vessels and remove stasis to improve blood circulation and increase blood flow into kidneys so that enough essential elements such as oxygen, nutrients and active ingredients of medicine can be transported into nidus to speed up kidney recovery. Moreover, it can reduce renal inflammation and control the disease from getting worse. After about one month’s treatment, renal function will get improved gradually, and then associated symptoms will get under control.
The above treatment is helpful for kidney failure patients to improve abdominal distention, but it is not suitable for all patients. And this is intended for informational purposes only. For specific treatment suggestions, please consult a physician.
