Dialysis is addict or not

You may be recommended to start dialysis by your doctor; or you have heard dialysis many times and think about starting it. Whatever, you are curious whether you will be addicted to dialysis once you start it. In other words, you are worried that you can’t stop dialysis once you receive it. After reading this article, you will get the answer.
Dialysis is often called ‘artificial kidney’ in some countries. This is because dialysis can replace the kidneys in excreting metabolic waste and excess water in the blood, preventing the body from being damaged by the toxins. In this view, dialysis could replace the kidneys. But the kidneys also have the ability of secreting many kinds of hormone which play important role in metabolism. And dialysis can do nothing about this. Hence, we can conclude that dialysis is a way to help you clean up your blood.
When you receive dialysis, how are your kidneys? Can they be treated by dialysis? No. Your kidneys are still continuously damaged. Extra cellular matrixes of the renal intrinsic cells proliferate, resulting that your kidneys on the way of fibrosis. What’s more, these matrixes will damage the healthy renal intrinsic cells. Eventually, the kidneys become fibrosis and they loss all functions. Dialysis can do nothing to prevent this happening. On the way of renal fibrosis, your kidneys become worse and worse. So you have to perform dialysis more frequently. Just like addicting to drugs, you cannot get rid of it.
Nonetheless, some people can get rid of it. There are various reasons. But what matter are treatment and patients’ condition. If you receive other therapy to treat your damaged kidneys during dialysis, your kidneys may get better, and to some degree, you can stop dialysis.
Generally, doctors in some countries will not give patients who are on dialysis other therapies to repair the kidneys, or they don’t have better way to help rebuild functions of the kidneys.
