When you get on dialysis, do you still have back pain? For some dialysis patients, they indeed have such a problem. In this article, let’s see what causes it, and how to deal with it.

Causes of back pain for dialysis patients

Patients with back pain after hemodialysis are often caused by renal vasoconstriction or local muscle spasm. The common reasons are:

-Too much fluid is filtered out in dialysis or the fluid is filtered too fast;

-Dialysate electrolyte concentration is low;

-Restart dialysis after renal graft rejection.

Precautions for dialysis patients to avoid back pain

-Eliminate the cause of low electrolyte concentration of dialysate;

-Adjust the patient's dry weight;

-Avoid excessive liquid ultrafiltration.

Treatment for back pain

-For patients with back pain together with hypotension, oxygen inhalation is given and stop the ultrafiltration temporarily. If necessary, do infusion.

-For patients with only back pain after dialysis, have a good rest on back. Drink less water. And do hot compress locally.

Back pain is just one side effect of dialysis.

If you have a lot of discomforts with dialysis, you can combine it with other therapies to counteract the adverse effects, such as Toxin-Removing Treatment. It can increase urine output, improve bowel movement and make you sweat so as to eliminate waste products and extra fluid out of body. It can also improve blood circulation and increase blood flow into kidneys so that enough essential elements like oxygen, nutrients and active ingredients of medicine can be transported into nidus to speed up kidney recovery. After about one week’s treatment, your urine volume will increase, and it will become smelly and cloudy due to the existence of waste products. Your back pain will get relieved as well. After about half month’s treatment, your high creatinine, BUN and uric acid level will decrease. And other symptoms such as weakness, poor appetite, insomnia and so on will get relieved. After about one month’s treatment, your disease will be under control, and renal function will get improved. As the treatment going on, it is possible for you to reduce dialysis frequency.

When you get on dialysis, do you still have back pain? Yes, you do. Besides, you may have other side effects, such as headache, weakness, nausea, vomiting, skin itching, etc. If you have had enough of dialysis, you can try Toxin-Removing Treatment.
