Your kidneys have stopped (or almost) functioning; They are the body’s filtration system, which eliminates toxins that you don’t need, and that maintains normal hydration and retains necessary elements. Kidney failure, if left untreated, leads to death, but modern medicine offers us a life-saving treatment: dialysis.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”How long do hemodialysis treatments last?” tab_id=”1566413211908-126656c8-ff01″][vc_column_text]The time needed for your dialysis depends on:<\/p>\n

The dialysis treatment itself is painless. However, some patients may have hypotension. If this occurs, you may feel nauseous, vomiting, have a headache or cramping. With current guidelines, these problems usually disappear. However, if you feel discomfort in dialysis, notify the nursing staff; Your treatment may somehow be modified to reduce the symptoms you feel.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Will I be fine with dialysis?” tab_id=”1566413211991-0a66921a-5b37″][vc_column_text]We cannot promise that you feel as good about dialysis as you felt before kidney failure, since there is no substitute as accurate as your own healthy kidneys. But to keep as good as possible, your treatment will consist of 3 basic pillars: dialysis, diet and medications. The diet is quite strict and can take a bit of getting used to. You will have to limit your fluid intake and you will need to control foods rich in sodium and potassium. But with imagination, you can cook tasty diets. The healthcare staff will also explain details about your diet. There are several drugs that you will need to take to help prevent some of the complications of dialysis.

They include anemia, cramps, dry skin, itching or weight loss. Long-term complications may include depression, decreased sexual function, abnormal bone regeneration and osteoarticular pain. Although these are frequent complications, it does not mean that you are going to experience them all. Many patients have reported that dialysis and a drug called EPO (which helps prevent anemia) improved most of the symptoms they experience before dialysis: itching, tiredness, mood swings or insomnia.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Do dialysis patients have a normal life?” tab_id=”1566413212057-2e4da1f5-406f”][vc_column_text]Many patients have a normal life except in the periods necessary for treatments.
