Stage 4 Renal Failure Patients Refuse Dialysis: What Will Happen

If Stage 4 Renal Failure isn’t stopped effectively, chronic kidney failure may progress into end stage in which dialysis may be needed. Thereby, a number of patients in stage 4 are suggested to prepare for dialysis in the near future, but some patients refuse dialysis. What will happen on them?

Most often, patients with stage 4 renal failure don’t need to begin dialysis unless they have some emergent health issues such as dangerous creatinine or BUN levels, refractory high blood pressure, lung edema, cardiovascular disease, hyperkalemia, metabolic acidosis, and so on. Faced by these problems, refusing dialysis may even cause death.

If you happen to have stage 4 renal failure and don’t have the above problems, you still have chance to get rid of dialysis forever. This is because chronic kidney failure in stage 4 is the last stage that kidney damage can be reversed. In this case, patients can still live without dialysis safely, while the key to gaining this goal is to accept correct treatment plan.

Until now, several treatment options can help save stage 4 renal failure patients’ life apart from dialysis.

1. Clear Blood Pollution Therapy: Compared with conventional renal replacement therapy, it has two outstanding effects: prompting the recovery of hematopoietic and blood coagulation mechanism, and rebuilding kidney structure. Once the link between blood and kidneys can become normal, patients’ health condition can be improved effectively.

2. Immunotherapy: This therapy is mainly used to treat chronic kidney failure caused by autoimmune disorder. Through removing immune complexes, regulating immune system and repairing damaged kidney cells, it is indeed helpful to reverse stage 4 kidney failure.

Additionally, some other treatments are also helpful, but the application of them should depend on patients’ illness condition. To learn which one is helpful for you, you can ask help from the Doctor online freely.
