Kidney disease enters the terminal stage, referring to chronic kidney disease, which has developed to its most serious moment, and is often called "uremia". No one wants to suffer from uremia themselves, so after suffering from kidney disease, you should do a good job of prevention and control in all aspects. However, there are still some people who have kidney disease and eventually develop to the terminal stage.
Some people have heard that for end-stage renal disease, dialysis and kidney replacement are commonly used clinically. So are there only these two treatments? So which treatment method should be chosen, this is actually a more difficult question to choose. Today, the doctor will come to talk to you about the treatment of end-stage renal disease.

If the patient has kidney disease, if it has entered the terminal stage, it indicates that the patient's kidney function has been seriously impaired and cannot be reversed. At this time, the kidneys' ability to excrete metabolic waste and water has been completely lost. However, if it cannot be discharged in time, it will have a serious impact on physical health.
Therefore, clinically, patients need to be given renal replacement therapy, and this is the only way. Kidney replacement therapy includes dialysis and kidney replacement, of which kidney replacement refers to the replacement of kidneys, but dialysis includes hemodialysis, as well as peritoneal dialysis. Let's introduce them to each other:
1. Replace the kidneys
If this is the case, a kidney transplant is required. However, the replaced kidneys, after all, are not their own, and the body will produce rejection after replacement, so patients need to take anti-rejection drugs permanently. And affected by the phenomenon of rejection, the patient's immune function may be in a state of low, at which time the risk of developing conventional diseases increases.
Therefore, it is recommended that patients who have undergone this operation should do a good job of regular review after surgery. If your own state changes, you should communicate with your doctor in time to choose to change the dosage of drugs. Clinically, as long as the patient is in good physical condition and has a suitable renal source, it is recommended to carry out surgery in a timely manner.
Because if the kidney is not replaced, the patient can only undergo dialysis treatment, and at this time, the body's nutrition and cardiovascular function may be damaged. However, if dialysis is done for a long time and kidney replacement surgery is carried out in time, the possibility of complications after surgery will be relatively large. In addition, there is a fatal drawback of this treatment method, that is, the lack of kidney sources may not be able to undergo surgery for a long time after the diagnosis of the disease.
2, Peritoneal dialysis
This method of dialysis is mainly used in dialysate, after which the solute and water in the plasma will be replaced, thus playing a role similar to kidney function. And in the dialysate, there are also substances needed by the body, and injecting them into the human body can play a supplementary role.
The advantages of this dialysis method are more obvious, first of all, it can be continuously treated, and the internal metabolism of the human body will also appear in a relatively stable state, in addition, it will not affect its own kidney function. In daily life, patients can operate treatment on their own, without dialysis every time, they have to run to the hospital for treatment.
But there are also certain drawbacks, that is, when you operate yourself, if there is a wrong method. Then the state of the peritoneum will be affected, which may lead to the occurrence of peritonitis. In addition, this method can be treated at home, but the home environment, which may not be as clean as the hospital, may cause germs to invade the body.
3. Hemodialysis
Clinically, people call this dialysis method hemodialysis. This is a way to purify the blood, helping to flush out waste products and excess electrolytes in the blood, thus ensuring the balance of water and electrolytes in the body. The advantage of this treatment is that it is highly efficient and can help eliminate toxins in a very short time. However, this treatment has a greater impact on the cardiovascular system. And every time dialysis is performed, a vascular puncture is required, and the patient will have a certain pain.

First of all, let's talk about two types of dialysis treatments, compared to peritoneal dialysis, which can protect the patient's remaining kidney function. In general, it is recommended to perform peritoneal dialysis at the beginning of the discovery, and if there is further development of the disease, hemodialysis treatment can be considered.
The following is a kidney transplant, although the effect is better, but due to the renal source, expensive and other restrictions, many patients can not carry out this treatment. Therefore, in the clinic, most patients use long-term dialysis treatment to improve the quality of life in order to achieve the purpose of long-term survival. However, doctors recommend that if a suitable kidney source is available and the economy allows, transplant surgery should still be performed.
End-stage kidney disease, no one wants to happen, but some people can not do a good job of their own protection, resulting in their own disease. After the disease, there are usually dialysis, kidney transplantation treatment methods, clinical application is more widely dialysis treatment. However, doctors recommend that if conditions permit, it is best to have a kidney transplant.
