Peritoneal dialysis can be done for uremia.
Uremia is the final stage of the development of various acute and chronic kidney diseases, in this stage, the patient’s kidney function has basically been lost, the patient’s glomerular filtration rate is less than 10ml/min, in this stage, the application of drug therapy has been ineffective, the need to apply renal replacement therapy.
At present, the commonly used renal replacement therapy methods are hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. The principle of hemodialysis is to draw out the patient’s blood through a machine, filter it through a filter to filter out the toxins from the body, and then input the filtered blood into the patient’s body. Peritoneal dialysis, on the other hand, removes the excess toxins from the body through the filtering effect of the peritoneum of the body and through the peritoneal dialysis solution.
Therefore, peritoneal dialysis is a way to treat uremia, and patients with uremia can do peritoneal dialysis. It is recommended that patients with uremia go to a regular hospital in time and follow the doctor’s instructions to choose the appropriate treatment.
