Causes for diarrhea in dialysis patients

-Dialysis is unable to guarantee the electrolyte balance successfully, and the low potassium level is very likely to cause diarrhea.

-Diarrhea can be a side-effect of antibiotics. Dialysis patients may be prescribed with antibiotics, which can wipe out the beneficial bacteria in the intestine tract, thus resulting in diarrhea.

-The intestinal bacteria helps people absorb the nutrition and promote digestion. For dialysis patients, the balance of these bacteria will be disturbed. While, diarrhea will appear as a result of digestive disorder.

Treatment for diarrhea in dialysis patients

In addition to those causes mentioned above, there still have many other causes for diarrhea. While its treatment depends on the real cause for diarrhea.

But, we would like to say dialysis is no longer the only choice for kidney failure patients. And the only way to avoid or stop dialysis is to make kidneys work again by repairing kidney damage and recovering renal function. And to save kidneys themselves is the best way to relieve any symptoms and complications, also the best way to improve the life expectancy.
