As a common side effect of dialysis, diarrhea can be treated by imodium which is a medication that is effective in reducing the symptoms of diarrhea. Is it safe for dialysis patients with diarrhea to take imodium?

Imodium can be used to treat diarrhea in dialysis and it has a quick effect in reducing the symptoms of diarrhea. However, dialysis patients should not take imodium for a long time since Imodium is not a radical solution for diarrhea in dialysis.

Thus, we need to what causes diarrhea in dialysis.

We all know kidneys are responsible for removing excess wastes, toxins and water from the body and also keep electrolyte balance. When kidneys are damaged, they cannot function well. And then patients have to rely on dialysis or kidney transplant. As for dialysis, it can maintain patient’s basic life but it has nothing to do for the damaged kidney. Generally the longer patients on dialysis, the more complications they have. Toxic deposits in the body and electrolyte imbalance are common complications. When patients’ gastrointestinal tract is damaged by these disorders, diarrhea will occur.

How to treat diarrhea in dialysis?

From the above, we can see electrolyte imbalance and toxic accumulation in the body are the root cause of diarrhea. The best treatment is to improve renal function so as to rectify electrolyte imbalance and discharge wastes from the body.

Here we recommend Immunotherapy. This therapy has six steps including exact diagnosis, blocking immune reaction, immune tolerance, immune adjustment, immune clearance and immune protection. This therapy can not only purify blood but also repair the damaged kidney cells. When blood is purified, this sets up a good blood environment for repairing kidney damage. The Chinese medicines in Immunotherapy can expand blood vessels, prevent inflammation and coagulation, degrade extracellular matrix, and provide nutrients to these damaged kidney cells. In this way, damaged but not necrotic kidney cells can work gain and kidney function can be improved. With the increased kidney function, electrolyte imbalance can be corrected and excess wastes can be eliminated from the body. Thus diarrhea can be treated in dialysis as well.
