How to survive when kidneys shut down? We know kidney plays an important part for our health. It helps us regulate blood pressure, maintain electrolyte balance, maintain fluid balance, produce urine, secrete hormone and remove wastes in blood. When kidneys are damaged for some reason, kidney function will decrease. In that case, if no measures are taken, our life will be threatened seriously. Well then, how to survive when kidneys shut down?
For kidney disease patients who have not started dialysis, they can try Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy, Immunotherapy and Polluted Blood Therapy. What treatment should kidney disease patients receive depends on their specific illness condition. Besides, although these treatments work differently, they all can help to improve kidney function. We know kidney disease patients experience various symptoms, as affected kidney can not function properly. Therefore, when kidney function is improved, all the symptoms will be remitted radically.

However, for injured kidney intrinsic cells, they can be repaired effective with a certain medications. In such a condition, kidney function can be improved. However, in some cases of kidney failure, kidneys have shut down completely. For this reason, patients usually have no urine output and in that case, patients can receive dialysis or kidney transplant to survive.
Dialysis is a medical procedure in which a dialysis machine is used to replace failed kidney to purify blood. Dialysis helps kidney failure patients sustain their life, but unfortunately, they can not repair injured and necrotic kidney intrinsic cells. Therefore, its treatment effect is temporary. Also, for this reason, kidney failure patients need to do dialysis regularly.
Kidney transplant is another life-sustaining method for people whose kidneys have shut down. It is a surgery and during this process, a healthy kidney is put kidney failure patients’ kidney to replace damaged kidney to work. It is a way for kidney failure patients to live a longer time, but it is not ideal, as matched kidney is not easy to found. What is worse, kidney disease comes back again after kidney transplant in some cases.
