Other Treatments for Stage 5 Kidney Failure with 8% Kidney Function

“Hello, dear doctor, my husband is a patient with stage 5 kidney failure, now only 8% kidney function is left. He is not on dialysis yet, and name was just put on the list for a kidney transplant. We are told it could take up to 4 years for a donated match. I would like to know are there any other treatment plan can help his stage 5 kidney failure and get him back to stage 4?”

“For patients on stage 5 kidney failure, in many countries, kidney transplant seems to be the last and only choice. Just like you said, waiting for a donor may take years, and we do not know what will happen during the period of waiting. However, after a kidney transplant, patients will take the anti-rejection drugs for the rest of life. What is more, do you know your husband’s primary disease? I mean what type of kidney disease caused his stage 5 kidney failure? The reason I ask such a question is because some types of kidney diseases usually have relatively high relapse of rate after a kidney transplant, such as FSGS, IgA Nephropathy, lupus nephritis and other autoimmune diseases. And we have met so many such cases in the clinic.”

“I have to say there still has the possibility to help him get back to stage 4 kidney failure with the proper treatments. Now 8% kidney function is left, he can still produce urine, right? In that case, it will be good. It means there still has blood flows to kidneys, then we can use the Chinese herbal medicines with the functions of anti-inflammation, anti-coagulation, degradation, improving blood circulation, removing blood stasis, offering kidneys nutrients and promoting DNA replication of damaged kidneys cells to help him repair kidney damage and recover renal function. The active materials of medicines will be directly taken to kidneys by blood flow. This treatment is called Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy, and it is used externally.”

“So, patients with stage 5 kidney failure should be optimistic about their life, with the proper treatment, they can still live a normal life without dialysis and kidney transplant. If having any questions, remember that we are here helping you more.”
