Every week, Xiao Cui rides her old electric car to the hospital for dialysis three times, with a journey of about 1 hour, rain or shine. A family-seeking program group also filmed Xiao Cui's dialysis process in the hospital:

As the illness became more and more serious, Xiaocui had a series of complications: heart problems, severely impaired vision, and it was almost impossible to see objects within 2 meters.

But Xiaocui has always had an unfulfilled wish to see his mother. Considering Xiaocui's physical condition, the staff of the program group always advised Xiaocui not to record the program, but later Xiaocui had an eye operation, and his right eye condition improved, so he insisted on appearing on TV programs. In the program, Xiao Cui called affectionately: "I want to see my mother!" "

Finally, Xiaocui told the host that although his physical condition will get worse and worse, he still wants to donate his cornea in the future, so that more people can see the light again. This emaciated uremia girl warms the world with kindness when the road ahead is uncertain.

Uremia, dialysis ... Some people think that these words sound far away, but I don't know. According to the data published by China Kidney Disease Network, the number of dialysis patients in China showed a rapid upward trend from 20 13 to 20 17. In 20 17 years, the number of dialysis patients in China reached 580,000. According to experts' prediction, in the next 10 years, this number will be constantly refreshed. It is estimated that by 2025, the number of dialysis patients in China will reach 900,000!

So, what is the reason for the increasing number of dialysis patients? On the one hand, with the advancement of medical insurance reform policy, dialysis has been included in the category of reimbursement for serious illness, and the reimbursement rate can reach up to 90%. On the other hand, with the development of economy and the change of lifestyle, more and more people are "targeted" by obesity, diabetes and hypertension, which increases the incidence of chronic kidney disease to some extent.

Dialysis is the main way to treat end-stage renal disease, which can be divided into hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis and colon dialysis, among which hemodialysis is the most popular and can be carried out in most medical units above the county level in China.

Hemodialysis needs to export the blood in the patient's body through a blood pump, then wash it through a dialyzer to remove toxins and excess water in the blood, and finally send the blood back to the body. The purpose of hemodialysis is to expel excess water from the body, control blood pressure within a reasonable range, and avoid edema and heart failure; The second is to remove metabolic wastes such as creatinine and urea nitrogen in the body and relieve physical discomfort such as nausea, vomiting and itchy skin.

Generally speaking, it takes 4-5 hours to do hemodialysis once, 2-3 times a week. Hemodialysis has the advantages of safety, simple operation and wide application, but for patients themselves, there will be a series of dialysis reactions, causing physical discomfort. The common side effects of hemodialysis include dry and itchy skin, persistent high fever, nausea, vomiting, irritability, hypotension, restless leg syndrome, convulsion and coma. , not only make patients physically and mentally painful, but also lead to poor quality of life and short survival time.

So, how should patients avoid the side effects brought by hemodialysis and improve their quality of life?

If hemodialysis causes dry and itchy skin, you can increase the intake of lean meat, beef, eggs, fungus and other foods in your diet, and apply moisturizer to moisturize your skin after bathing every night.

If hemodialysis causes dialysis imbalance syndrome such as nausea, vomiting and restlessness, albumin can be given according to the severity, sedatives can be used if necessary, and dialysis can also be suspended.

If hemodialysis causes hypotension, you can take a posture with your head down and your feet high, or stop ultrafiltration, slow down the pump flow, take oxygen, or supplement normal saline and glucose under the guidance of a doctor.

If hemodialysis causes edema or muscle spasm of lower limbs, you can stretch and move the spasmodic muscles, or apply a hot towel to the spasmodic muscles to improve muscle tension.

According to big data, the prevalence of chronic kidney disease in adults in China has reached 10.8%, of which patients with chronic renal failure are about 1 10,000. The final result of chronic renal failure is uremia. It should be noted that uremia is not exclusive to middle-aged and elderly people. In recent years, uremia has shown a younger trend. Among them, uremic patients aged 10-30 account for about 40% of the total uremic patients. I like to hold my urine, eat too salty, and have a long-term high-protein diet. , is the cause of the rising incidence of uremia.

Once uremia occurs, the harm to the body is all-round. In fact, uremia started from childhood nephropathy. No matter what age stage, we should learn to prevent uremia, eat healthily, balance nutrition, exercise and drink water in moderation. In addition, we should avoid drug abuse and actively prevent diseases that may damage renal function, such as obesity, hypertension and diabetes.

People who have not really experienced dialysis are not enough to talk about uremia. Before uremia occurs, we still have many opportunities to build a solid fortress for our body. Have you learned to prevent kidney damage?
