Urine output may change for patients with PKD, especially on dialysis. Dialysis is used to replace kidney to filter the blood to remove wastes and fluids in body. In general, if kidney function is lost more than 85% or creatinine level is over 6, patients are suggested to do dialysis. Urine is produced by the process that kidney filtering the blood to eliminate wastes.

Excessive phosphorus, potassium, creatinine, BUN, and salt are all removed from body through urine to maintain balance of electrolyte in body. If kidney function is wrong, this balance will be broken. For PKD patients with dialysis, due to growth of PKD, kidney is impaired, leading to decrease of kidney function. With the time going, kidney function is almost lost, so dialysis is needed finally. In this case, patients may have no urine, or have uremia. Some patients may have a little urine. Because kidney has much difficulty in filtering the blood. Patients with dialysis need to limit water intake in daily life, preventing swelling and retention of fluids in body.

Hence, it is very common for patients on dialysis to have no urine or little. Is there any helping PKD patients with dialysis recover urine output?

The key is to make kidney work again. Chinese medicine is very effective to prevent kidney inflammation, promote blood circulation, dilate blood vessels, degrade fibrosis, and repair damage.
