Patient's question:
Recently, my appetite has been poor, and I've been experiencing some swelling in my body. I feel completely exhausted. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it was kidney disease. Can uremia be avoided through dialysis?Doctor's answer:
Hello, uremia is the end stage of chronic kidney disease, where the kidneys have lost the ability to metabolize waste products. Various toxic decomposition metabolites accumulate in the body, and dialysis therapy must be used to remove these waste products. This is a form of renal replacement therapy. It is recommended to regularly visit the hospital's hemodialysis department for follow-up, undergo regular dialysis treatment, and have regular check-ups to allow doctors to guide the use of medications to control complications.
