Why is there low blood pressure after dialysis? Creatinine is an important
index which indicates whether kidney disease patients need to take dialysis.
Generally, in western countries, kidney failure patients begin to take dialysis
when creatinine is more than 450umol/L, which can help discharge the small toxic
molecules such as urea acid, urea nitrogen and so on besides creatinine, thus
relieving the damage to the body and lessen burden to the kidney.
However, in the course of the dialysis, about 20% to 40% of kidney disease
patients have low blood pressure, which even make some weak person in coma. Some
yawn, feeling urinating, have pain in lower back, and then feel nausea, have
pale face, sweat, hard to breathe, and so on. How should we avoid this?
1. If kidney disease under dialysis loose consciousness, doctor should give
him injection of 100 to 200 ml saline or 50% glucose. If the injection of liquid
is more than 500 ml but still can not make it, we should check if there are
other causes.
2. Kidney disease patients themselves should also control the intake of
water, salt and protein.
3. Set proper dry body weight. Ultrafilter should not be excessive when
dialysis.
4. Bicarbonate should be applied during the treatment of dialysis.
5. The density of sodium in dislysate should be lower than the density of
sodium in blood.
6. Kidney disease patients who have low blood pressure should not take in
hypotensor before dialysis.
7. Correct the anemia and add carnitine.
Last but not least, considering the side effects of low blood pressure after
dialysis, specialists in Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital created
Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy which can help kidney disease patients escape
from dialysis for it can not only discharges the toxins but also repair the
damaged cells in the kidney.
