Patient's question:
I have been suffering from uremia for almost a year and have been undergoing dialysis treatment. Recently, I feel very weak and lack energy. What are the sequelae of uremia dialysis?Doctor's answer:
Uremia is a clinical diagnosis characterized by a series of recurrent manifestations that combine to form a syndrome when chronic kidney disease progresses to the end-stage. The treatment methods include hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. However, regardless of which type of dialysis is used, it can only replace the kidney's function of completely removing metabolic waste and maintaining electrolyte and acid-base balance, but it cannot replace the kidney's endocrine function. Therefore, kidney transplantation is the most appropriate and effective treatment for uremic patients.
