Rethink of Home Dialysis for Kidney Failure Patients
The medical case of Jiang Yulin from Hunan, China, was reported yesterday on the internet. He takes home dialysis for three years, but his kidney condition worsens gradually. This causes the rethink of home dialysis for kidney failure patients.
Rethink 1: What to do faced by the bad therapeutic effects?
As described by Jiang Yulin, his condition wasn't so bad when he was just diagnosed with kidney failure. However, with three years' treatment, his illness condition becomes worse and worse. Then, the question is coming: why does he adhere to this treatment?
Are dialysis and kidney transplant are the only treatment options for kidney failure patients?
Blood purification is one important part of kidney failure treatment, but dialysis isn't the only choice of blood purification. Moreover, dialysis can only remove fluid and small molecular waste chemicals, but it fails to eliminate immune complexes. This is why the outcome of dialysis can't meet patients' need.
Rethink 2: Without effort, treatment goes to waste
Until now, quite a number of kidney failure patients have got rid of dialysis and lived just like normal people. What treatment do they take? Where do they get the treatment? Which therapy is best for them? If other patients don't try to find the answer of these questions, it means they haven't made the big effort.
Rethink 3: How to prevent this tragedy?
As told by the wife of Jiang Yulin, he becomes susceptible to cold after being diagnosed with kidney failure. The high cost makes him accept dialysis at home. However, he should learn more about his illness condition before choosing treatment option. If treated timely, he may have chance to improve his kidney condition and prevent this tragedy successfully.
From the above analysis, we can know home dialysis isn't the best option for kidney failure patients. Try to find the most suitable therapy for yourself, if you have kidney failure.
