Why do people go into coma after dialysis? Recently. this question has been posed so many times by people on-line. To help people solve this problem, we update this article to explain the causes why people go into coma after dialysis and how to prevent dialysis.
Why do people go into coma after dialysis?
Some people go into coma after dialysis. In mild cases, patients just suffer coma for several minutes after dialysis, but in serious cases, coma lasts for several days or until the death of patients. Dialysis causes coma in different ways and the followings are the several major causes.
1. Many dialysis patients have anemia and for these people, they suffer from anoxia and ischemia of brain easily. Without enough blood and oxygen in the brain, coma appears. For this problem, we can inject some human albumin to make their marrow to produce blood.
2. Dialysis is a procedure which replace our failed kidney to discharging wastes in the blood. For dialysis patients, there are large amounts of toxins in their blood, and with dialysis, wastes and toxic substances can be cleared away greatly. However, because of the sudden clearance of these wastes, brain disease appears every easily. In clinical, brain disease caused by dialysis is manifested as intense headache, nausea, vomit, speech disorder, muscle cramp, somnolence, coma and even death. To avoid brain disease caused by dialysis, the first duration time of dialysis needs to be limited within 2 to 3 hours. Besides, high sodium dialysis is also needed.
How to prevent dialysis?
Apart from coma, long time dialysis alway present us different kinds of serious complications, so preventing dialysis actively is very important for kidney disease patients. As long as we get far away from dialysis, coma caused by dialysis is avoided therewith.
Dialysis is needed when kidneys are failed in discharging excess wastes in the blood. Therefore, increasing kidney function is the most fundamental solution for preventing dialysis.
