Four Methods Relieve Itchy Skin In Kidney Failure Patients
Kidney failure patients tend to suffer from disorder of calcium and phosphorus. When phosphorus level is high, you will have itchy skin. Phosphorus can affect the life quality greatly in kidney patients.
The following are some ways to help you relieve itchy skin:
1. Choose low phosphorus foods
Reduce the intake of nuts, fish, shrimp and other high phosphorus foods. Besides, eat less snacks with food additives. Phosphorus in food additives is inorganic phosphorus. It is higher than phosphorus level in fresh foods.
2. Choose to prolong your dialysis time
Your kidneys work for 24h but dialysis only works for 1-2 hours. Thus, common dialysis can not solve the problem of high phosphorus. You can prolong your dialysis time and increase your dialysis times to improve your itchy skin.
3. Take medicines to lower down your high phosphorus level
Medicines like calcium carbonate, calcium acetate, lanthanum carbonate can reduce high phosphorus level but they can cause side effects like nausea, abdominal distention, constipation and even vomiting.
4. Detoxification Therapy
The radical therapy should repair injured kidney tissues and improve renal function. Only when your kidney function is improved can high phosphorus level be reduced and then itchy skin be relieved radically. Here we recommend Detoxification Therapy which is a series of Chinese medicine treatments like Hot Compress Therapy, Medicated Bath, Medicated Foot Bath, Medicinal Soup, Moxibustion Therapy, Steaming Therapy, Enema Therapy and Acupuncture, etc. They first draw out excess substances like creatinine, phosphorus, urea and fluid out of your body via urine, bowel movement and sweat glands. This can give you a clean blood environment. Then Chinese medicines can arrive at kidney lesion directly to repair injured kidney tissues and improve renal function. In this way, itchy skin is relieved. But Detoxification Therapy is only available in China. Foreign patients need to come to China for treatment.
