Overview uremia disease

Uremia, urine means the body can not produce the waste through the kidneys in vivo metabolism and excretion of excessive moisture caused by poison. Modern medicine, uremia after the loss of kidney function and biochemical processes within the body to produce a series of complex disorder syndrome, rather than a separate disease, generally referred to as renal failure syndrome.

According to incomplete statistics, China's chronic kidney disease has more than 100 million people, of which about 100 million people in uremic patients, and the number of new cases each year at a rate of about 10% annually. At present, China is in the stage of an aging population, hypertension, diabetes is also at its peak, which can be estimated that China's high-risk groups of up to 15 million uremia.

As the final stage of chronic renal failure is the main treatment of uremic dialysis and kidney transplant to prolong the lives of patients. With the popularization of culture and improving the quality of people, people with uremia rate has significantly increased awareness, desire to survive and improve patient quality of life demands a significant increase in the number of patients will accept replacement therapy.

Chronic renal failure in our annual mortality rate of about a million, and the incidence, prevalence increased significantly year after year. More seriously, there is one for every 10 people who suffer from chronic kidney disease, if not actively control is likely to develop into uremia. Plus from the current level of treatment and uremia seems that any treatment has its limitations and adverse reactions are not up to the level of a healthy kidney. Therefore, prevention of significance is much greater than the treatment of uremia.kidneyfight@hotmail.com

Peritoneal Dialysis Treatment for Uremia

Our body like a huge city, the city where the kidney is cleaner, responsible for cleaning up a lot of garbage every day and waste, in the form of urine discharged. Once the cleaners stopped working, the body of metabolic waste, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, waste will be piled up, people will be anorexia, nausea, vomiting, shortness of breath, swelling, fatigue and other symptoms. This situation is called renal failure medicine, also called uremia.

The occurrence of renal failure and how to do? 

Suffering from uremia equals suffering from an incurable disease! This argument has become in the past. In the scientific development today, as usual uremic patients can work, study and live. From the quality of life for kidney transplantation is the best choice, but because with the type and the economy, the vast majority of patients chose hemodialysis treatment - peritoneal dialysis or hemodialysis.

What is peritoneal dialysis 

The special liquid is called a "dialysate" through a "dialysis tube" coming down the abdominal cavity, which is when one side of the peritoneum metabolic waste and excess water containing blood, the other side of the abdomen thousand quiet transparent fluid, blood metabolic wastes and excess water will go through the peritoneal dialysis fluid inside. 3-4 hours after reservations (at night can keep 8-10 hours), these dialysate containing waste water released from the abdominal cavity, and then filling into the new dialysate. Such replacement 4-5 times a day, you can continue to rid their bodies of toxins and excess water.

What are the advantages of peritoneal dialysis? 

Peritoneal dialysis is used to maintain the life of uremic patients have been eighty years of history. Currently in Hong Kong and some European countries, 80% in uremic patients under peritoneal dialysis to live, work and learn. So what are the advantages of peritoneal dialysis it?

1, place of residence without hemodialysis machine patients can choose peritoneal dialysis; 2, the economic difficulties optional dialysis. Relative kidney transplantation, hemodialysis, the dialysis is the most expensive one; 3, diabetes or heart uremic patients most suitable for dialysis, help protect the heart function; 4, do not go to the hospital, does not affect the work, study and tourism; 5, is conducive to maintaining residual renal function, help maintain hemoglobin and blood pressure, thus reducing the amount of red pigment and promote antihypertensive drugs; 6, not only gets rid of small molecule toxins good, and remove the molecules, macromolecules toxins other dialysis is unmatched, so fewer complications.

Way of life will always encounter a lot of ups and downs, but we can not give up, no matter what kind of storm dangers, efforts to live our every day will be wonderful.
