In general, when GFR is less than 15, dialysis is suggested. But for diabetics, they usually start dialysis earlier than other renal patients, because diabetes can cause a series of severe complications, which may threaten life. Therefore, you had better take treatment as early as possible to improve your GFR.
Treatment for diabetics with GFR 17.49
First of all, you should have a good control of your blood sugar level to prevent it causing further damage to your kidneys.
Second, you should set up a good blood environment for kidneys to heal themselves. Because of the declined GFR, a lot of waste products can not be filtered out of body so that they will build up in blood. If you do not clear them away from blood timely, they will cause damage to your kidneys or even other body systems, and they can also counteract the effects of medications to affect your recovery. In our hospital, Toxin-Removing Treatment is often used in this case. It takes advantage of various Chinese medicine therapies such as Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy, Medicated Bath, Foot Bath, Enema Therapy, Steam Therapy and so on to remove massive waste products from body to make internal environment clean. It can also dilate blood vessels and remove stasis to improve blood circulation and increase blood flow into damaged kidneys to supply them with enough essential elements to speed up kidney recovery. After a short period of treatment, symptoms such as swelling, proteinuria, high blood pressure, headache, nausea, vomiting, skin itching, back pain and so on will get relieved or disappear. After a long period of treatment, your kidney function will improve and your GFR will increase. As a result, you can delay dialysis.
How long before dialysis for diabetics with GFR 17.49? It depends on how well you control your disease. If you are not satisfied with your current treatment effect, you can try Chinese medicine.
