Patient's question:
I have been suffering from uremia for a year, and I have been relying on dialysis to maintain my life. Now I feel much better, but can uremia be recovered after dialysis?Doctor's answer:
Uremia is not a disease of reading, but rather a clinical diagnostic feature of various late-stage kidney diseases. It is a syndrome composed of a series of clinical manifestations that repeatedly occur when chronic kidney failure progresses to the end stage. The main treatments are hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. However, whether it is peritoneal dialysis or hemodialysis, they can only replace the kidney's function of metabolizing waste products and maintaining water, electrolyte, and acid-base balance, but they cannot replace the kidney's endocrine function. Therefore, kidney transplantation is the most appropriate and effective treatment for uremic patients.
