Kidney Disease, Dialysis and Alternative Treatment

Kidneys act like a filter to clean waste from your blood. Then they mix the waste with a little water. That's what urine is — body waste mixed in water. The urine goes to your bladder, which you empty when you pee.

In addition to removing wastes from your bloodstream, the kidneys also make and regulate hormones and other chemicals in your body. When the kidneys aren't working correctly, your body can develop several problems, including:

• joint problems
• body aches and pains
• fatigue
• bone problems
• itchy skin
• sleep problems
• anemia, a problem in which the number of red blood cells or hemoglobin in the blood is too low.

Dialysis may be used for patients who have become ill and have acute kidney failure (temporary loss of kidney function), or for fairly stable patients who have permanently lost kidney function (stage 5 chronic kidney disease). Actually dialysis can make part of toxins out of body but it also can make many complications such as weakness, high blood pressure etc. So patients need find a alternative treatment of dialysis.
