Dialysis will cause possible side effects and one of them is fever. As for the cause of fever on dialysis, please see the following explanation.

The causes of fever on dialysis:

1. infection

People with kidney disease and dialysis often have higher risk of infection. Because the insertion site is exposed to the outside, bacteria and virus are very likely to attack your body, thus leading to infection at the site. If the infection can not be treated immediately, patients are very easy to suffer from fever.

2. cold dialyzate

When the dialyzate is too cold, this will lead to some discomforts. If you do not take treatment to treat them, patients may develop fever.

3. pyrogenic reaction

There are two causes for pyrogenic reaction. One is fever reaction due to presence of dead bacteria endotoxins. Another cause is contamination of bicarbonate containers, water system, machine, dialyzer or bloodlines.

How to treat fever on dialysis?

1. Improve immunity

Patients with dialysis should consume enough nutrients and eat some foods with rich vitamin C to increase immunity. It can prevent the virus or bacteria from attacking your body.

2. Chinese herbs

Some Chinese herbs have functions of preventing inflammation, providing nutrients for damaged kidneys, alleviating renal ischemia and hypoxia state and stopping renal fibrosis. Gradually, damaged kidneys can be repaired and kidney function can be improved. When renal function is improved, dialysis frequency can be reduced and dialysis can even be avoided. Thus fever will be treated naturally. Chinese herbal medicine treatment is the radical way for fever for people on dialysis.
