Recently, a lady came to our website and said his father who is a stage 4 renal failure patient continues to get diarrhea. She wonder if diarrhea is a part of renal failure. As for her puzzle, I have to say “Yes”. Renal failure indeed causes diarrhea in some cases.

How is diarrhea linked with renal failure?

Renal failure is an illness regarding kidney. It refers to the worst kidney condition in which kidneys have lost almost their working ability. Normally, kidney works as a filter and help us cleanse blood by removing waste products out of the body through urine. When renal failure is caused, wastes that should be removed by kidney will build up in blood. Therefore, renal failure always indicates accumulation of harmful substances in body.

Diarrhea is the frequent passage of loose, watery, soft stools with or without abdominal bloaging, prwessure, and cramps commonly referred to as gas. As we have explained above, renal failure is always accompanied with high levels of harmful substances in blood. When gastrointestinal tract is damaged by these wastes, various gastrointestinal discomforts will appear. Diarrhea is just one of them and besides it, they also experience poor appetite, nausea and vomiting.

What is the solution for diarrhea caused by renal failure?

Since diarrhea appears as intestinal tract is affected by wastes in blood, so keeping blood clean helps to alleviate diarrhea effectively. Also, that is the reason why dialysis is needed by renal failure patients.

Dialysis is a way to purify blood, but as it always cause many side effects, so no patients want to rely their rest life on dialysis. Dialysis is a must for renal failure patients whose kidneys have shut down completely, but for these who still have some healthy kidney function which can be measured through GFR and urien output, they can try Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy which is an alternative for kidney dialysis. It helps renal failure patients repair injured kidney intrinsic cells, promote renal blood circulation, improve renal ischemia, and increase bloodflow in kidney. With these benefits, kidney function can be improved greatly.

Diarrhea is a gastrointestinal discomfort caused by high levels of wastes in blood. When kidney function is improved, wastes in blood are removed successfully and consequently, gastrointestinal discomforts, including diarrhea, are alleviated fundamentally and permeanently.
