Patients with dialysis are very prone to dry skin, and they are confused if this is related with dialysis. As is known to us, dialysis does harm to patients because of many side effects in the long term. Then, is dry skin a side effect of dialysis?

The answer is yes. Dialysis can affect sweat glands and oil glands of patients, in this way, skin may be dried. If you have dry skin, you should avoid hot water in daily life. You had better use natural daily products without chemical elements. In addition, dialysis can lead to skin itching. As dialysis can not filter the blood very completely, phosphorus level is also high in body, leading to skin itching. Some patients may be allergic to blood tubes, causing skin itching. And patients with dialysis also may have discolored skin. As kidney can not remove urochromes from body through urine, pigments called urochromes are retained in the skin, resulting in grayish, almost metallic color skin. Uremic frost is a white, powdery substance left on the skin surface after sweat dries, which appears on patients with dialysis commonly.

Dialysis can cause skin problems for patients. Recovery of kidney function and stopping dialysis are the best way to treat skin problem fundamentally. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy are very effective to make kidney function revive. Because it prevents kidney inflammation, promotes blood circulation, repairs kidney damage, expands blood vessels and degrades fibrosis. It is recommended that patients with dialysis get treated with Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy. Patients with dialysis must have a strict diet plan in daily life, and avoid much protein, rich phosphorus, rich potassium, high sodium food.
