On the other hand, exercise can enhance kidneys’ reabsorption ability. Exercise will make you sweat a lot and fluid in your body decreases. In order to keep fluid and sodium, kidneys increase their ability to these substances.
Kidney patients need to take exercise but avoid strenuous exercise. Besides, you can try Chinese medicine treatments including Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy, Medicated Bath, Medicated Foot Bath, Mai Kang Mixture, Moxibustion Therapy and Steaming Therapy, etc. They aim to remove wastes from your body and then improve your renal function through dilating blood vessels, improving blood circulation, preventing inflammation and coagulation, degrading extracellular matrix and providing nutrients.
