Question 1

laminine can be used for dialysis patients?

Accepted Answer

Don't Really Know: Have spent a bunch of time researching your question and can find no good answer.  It is reported to improve renal function in some patients and there are many testimonials to its benefits.  However, the peer reviewed medical literature is a bit sparse on the subject.  Before doing anything, i would strongly recommend you talk with your kidney doctor.

Question 2

i am a dialysis patient. can i have ctscan s contrast medium and moderna in the same day?

Accepted Answer

: Do not see any reason why this would be a problem, and with your medical history, a COVID-19 vaccination appears a wise idea.

Question 3

can a dialysis patient take epsom salt?

Accepted Answer

No: Epsom salt is Magnesium Sulfate and ingesting excess magnesium while on dialysis is not a real good idea.  I strongly urge you to talk with your doctor about this question.  He/she can give you more detailed information and advice.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Yes if kldney  fail: If concomitant kidney failure , then dialysis will get rid of fluid overload symptoms.

Question 5

what should dialysis and heart patients use for cough?

Accepted Answer

Depends : Depends on the cause of cough which would be best evaluated by a physician. For cough suppression, combination of Guaifenesin and dextrometorphan or Codeine may be used.

Question 6

what is dialysis, and why are the patients at risk for anemia?

Accepted Answer

Cleansing of blood: Dialysis is the cleansing of the blood through an artificial membrane.  It replaces some of the physiologic functions of a normal kidney but is generally inferior to a functioning kidney.  One of the functions of the kidney is to produce a hormone that stimulates blood produciton.  When kidney function is impaired, this hormone production is diminished, resulting in anemia.

Question 7

some medication good in renal dialysis patient and some not good ( why)?

Accepted Answer

Dialysis: If the  medication is eliminated by a normally functioning kidney, it can accumulate to dangerous levels in between dialysis treatments.  Its best to check with your nephrologist (kidney doctor) before starting a new medication.

Question 8

what renal dialysis effect while patients on   post obstructive diressis?

Accepted Answer

P-obstruct. diuresis: In majority, functional recovery in usually seen in the first week to ten days after obstruction is relieved. If severe renal failure is present, dialysis may be indicated, even after complete resolution of the obstruction.  Dialysis may be required for a few weeks. In these cases complete functional improvement may not take place.

Question 9

why is it that patients with kindey failure on dialysis have to take steroids?

Accepted Answer

Steroids: Patients on dialysis can have low testosterone, especially if they have diabetes.  Those patients may be prescribed testosterone (an anabolic steroid) or even   growth hormone to increase muscle mass or a sense of well-being.  Other times patients on dialysis may have an inflammatory condition (asthma, inflammatory bowel disease, etc.) or a kidney transplant and require Prednisone (corticisteroid).

Question 10

hi doc i'm kidney patient. it is possible to reverse my kidney. i do dialysis two years?

Accepted Answer

Not likely: After requiring dialysis for two years, to replace the life sustaining function your kidneys have failed to provide, it is unlikely they will recover. For the information you've provided you desire to stop dialysis. Talk to your doctor and see if transplant is an option for you.
