Three Treatment Options for Stage 4 Kidney Disease

Chronic kidney disease can be divided into five stages, and what can be the treatment options when condition develops stage 4 kidney disease, the second advanced stage of kidney disease? We do believe the following content can benefit you.

Dialysis

Dialysis can be a common treatment option for stage 4 kidney disease patients. It can help patients improve the life expectancy to a certain degree by removing wastes and excess fluid out of body. But dialysis is unable to replace all of the kidneys’ functions. The renal function will be continued to be lost as dialysis is unable to repair kidney damage and recover renal function, and we can prove this from the less and less urine volume. Moreover, there are various dialysis problems such as muscle cramps, low blood pressure, nausea and vomiting, sleep problems and so on. Nowadays, more and more patients want to stop dialysis treatment. We can say that many patients with stage 4 kidney disease are waiting for receiving kidney transplant while undergoing dialysis treatment, however, some patients die during this period of time.

Kidney transplant

Kidney transplant is also one of treatment options for stage 4 kidney disease. If you are lucky enough, you will soon have such an operation. Compared to dialysis, a successful kidney transplant can help patients live longer.

However, some types of kidney diseases usually have high relapse rate after a kidney transplant, and this rate can even reach up to 50%, like IgA Nephropathy, lupus nephritis, purpura nephritis and FSGS. In that case, we do not think kidney transplant will be a good choice.

Chinese medicine therapies

Nowadays, Chinese medicine therapies are commonly used in the clinic to treat kidney disease from the root, thus helping patients avoid dialysis and kidney transplant. Most Chinese medicine therapies can play a series of special functions including expanding blood vessels, improving blood circulation, removing blood stasis and immune complexes out of body, promoting DNA replication of damaged kidney inherent cells, offering kidneys nutrients, anti-inflammation, anti-coagulation and degradation to repair kidney damage and recover renal function. While western medicines cannot achieve these functions. We do believe that it is the best treatment for stage 4 kidney disease.
