China's blood purification technology continues to improve, and the quality of life for dialysis patients has significantly increased. With the standardized management of dialysis centers and the popularization of advanced technologies such as high-flux hemodialysis and online hemodiafiltration, the long-term survival and quality of life of patients with end-stage renal disease continue to improve.
Main methods of blood purification
Blood purification mainly includes hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis and hemofiltration. Hemodialysis removes metabolic waste and excess water through an artificial kidney; peritoneal dialysis uses the patient's own peritoneum as a semipermeable membrane and is suitable for home treatment. Patients can choose the most suitable method under the guidance of doctors.
Improvement in quality of life
Advanced dialysis technology makes each session more adequate with fewer complications. Combined with anemia management, mineral metabolism regulation and nutritional support, patients can maintain a good life state, and many can return to work and normal social life.
Kidney transplantation and long-term planning
For suitable patients with end-stage renal disease, kidney transplantation is a better long-term option. Adequate dialysis management, donor evaluation and legal procedure preparation should be completed before transplantation.
MedBridge services
MedBridge can help international patients understand the situation of blood purification centers in Shanghai, providing dialysis arrangements, regular examination coordination and kidney transplant evaluation consultation.
