According to reports, because of diabetic nephropathy, Uncle Zhong has been undergoing regular hemodialysis treatment (hemodialysis) in the Nephrology Department of Shenzhen University General Hospital. Due to vascular conditions and other reasons, it was later changed to peritoneal dialysis (abdominal dialysis). Manual abdominal penetration, Uncle Zhong asked his aunt to help at home, 4 times a day, 3 times during the day, 1 time at night, plus the legs and feet are inconvenient, Uncle Zhong stayed at home almost the entire day, and he couldn't go anywhere. Half a year later, because of the low mobility of both lower limbs and stubborn constipation, which affected the normal water output of peritoneal dialysis, the hospital recommended a more advanced method to Uncle Zhong - automated peritoneal dialysis (APD).

Hospitalization to try APD effect is good, Uncle Zhong discussed with his family, decided to use an automated peritoneal dialysis machine to start a new model of dialysis. It is worth mentioning that the automatic dialysis machine also has the Internet remote management function, data synchronous transmission, doctors can view the patient's dialysis results in real time, timely adjustment of dialysis program.
