Patients who are sick must strengthen themselves. This disease is actually nothing to be afraid of. The current medical level is very high. I guess it was because of poor blood vessel conditions that I chose to do it on the right upper limb. Daily care of fistula: Patients who have not yet started using dialysis fistula tubes must perform ball pinching movements frequently. Even if they are already using fistula tubes, they must do ball pinching movements 24 hours after puncture. Pay attention to keeping the fistula tube warm, whether during dialysis or during dialysis. When sleeping at home, it is best to cover yourself with a quilt or tissue; pay strict attention to cleanliness and sterility during fistula puncture and after needle removal. It is best to apply gentle pressure for more than 30 minutes after needle removal to avoid fistula bleeding affecting the flow rate; control weight, Avoid blood embolism in the fistula caused by a drop in blood pressure caused by excessive dehydration; if there is insufficient blood after long-term use, it is advisable to check early to detect early stenosis and treat it early, and do not muddle along. In addition, you cannot perform infusions, draw blood, measure blood pressure, or lift heavy objects on the limb with the fistula. It is okay to eat and wash your face by yourself.
Decide whether someone needs to take care of you based on the patient’s basic condition. First, you must overcome the mentality of “I am sick”, and then use the care of your family to make the patient feel the warmth of home. Avoid any thoughts of dependence and try to make the patient feel the warmth of home. Patients who take care of themselves "care" about their condition and actively cooperate with doctors for treatment.
Generally speaking, entering dialysis as early as possible is helpful for residual kidney function. One of our patients has a similar situation to the above patient, but he only undergos hemodialysis once a week or even every 10 days. It has been 5 years now and his creatinine still remains around 500.
Chronic renal insufficiency is divided into four levels. It is correct to follow the doctor's advice according to the patient's condition and try to reduce the patient's pain as much as possible!
Because you still have residual kidney function, you will also be particular about your diet. It is recommended that you go to the dialysis center and ask for a promotional material. It will be very comprehensive. If you don’t understand something, you can consult it in time. Doctor!
Finally, I would like to give you six words: you should feel comfortable, obey the treatment, eat in moderation, live a regular life, combine work and rest, and have a warm family!
