It should be used immediately if the toxins in the body cause some complications which can be life-threatening. There are many toxins in the body of patients with 5% kidney function. However, dialysis is not the only solution for kidney disease. Well, what are the other ways to remove toxins and fluid from the body.

Some Chinese medicines like Chinese rhubarb can eliminate the toxins from the body. And then some Chinese medicines are used to expand blood vessels, promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, supply nutrient substances for damaged kidneys. Gradually damaged kidneys can be repaired to some extent and renal function can be improved. As long as kidney function can be enhanced, patients with 5% kidney function are likely to avoid dialysis.
