People with kidney disease can undergo dialysis treatment during bedtime at night, so they can have independent time during the day and have more time to arrange work and home life, which will naturally improve their quality of life.
Long-term damage to kidney tissue and the inability to restore original function is called chronic kidney disease (CKD). When kidney function is less than one-tenth of normal, blood levels The uremia index continues to rise, and the kidney disease may be approaching or entering the end-stage renal failure stage.
According to the 2015 report of the United States Renal Data Registration System (USRDS), Taiwan has the highest incidence rate of End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) in the world, with an incidence rate of 458 people per million people. Prevalence 3,138 per million population]. Due to the shortage of kidney transplant organs and the highly specialized nature of the surgery, chronic dialysis (commonly known as kidney dialysis) is still the main treatment method for patients with end-stage renal disease in Taiwan. Dialysis can be divided into hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis.
Beirong is a pioneer in dialysis treatment in Taiwan. The medical community is working together to improve kidney disease care
Dr. Tang Decheng, director of the Department of Nephrology, Department of Internal Medicine, Taipei Veterans General Hospital, said that the initial development of dialysis was quite slow. In the 1960s of the Republic of China, the domestic economy had not yet improved, and medical insurance did not cover hemodialysis. At that time, Beirong introduced "intermittent peritoneal dialysis treatment" with lower medical costs; in terms of clinical services, it was the first to introduce continuous portable dialysis in the 1973s of the Republic of China. Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD) has become one of the pioneers of CAPD in Taiwan.
Dr. Tang Decheng added that in the development process of dialysis, the medical community has worked together and the equipment has been continuously improved to improve the quality of dialysis and the quality of life of kidney patients. For example, with the introduction of Automated Peritoneal Dialysis (APD), patients with kidney disease can undergo dialysis treatment during bedtime at night, so they can have independent time during the day and have more time to arrange work and home life, and their quality of life will naturally increase. The 35th anniversary of peritoneal dialysis in Taiwan has benefited the majority of kidney patients. Medical care has been constantly updated and improved with the advancement of science and technology. Foreign APDs have been combined with cloud technology, which is expected to be beneficial to improving the quality of peritoneal dialysis medical care. Beirong will continue to provide patients with the best Excellent and comprehensive care.

Peritoneal dialysis enjoys flexible life and decision-making to increase patient autonomy
In addition, as patients’ awareness of autonomy rises, Beirong Medical Care The team has also formed a "dialysis mode selection where doctors and patients make joint decisions" to provide patients with disease-related information, analyze the risk assessment and communication of various dialysis options, and also further understand the patient's daily routine and preferences, and provide patients with fully interactive consultation. The mechanism is also a major progress in dialysis treatment.
A woman in her 40s was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease five years ago due to shock caused by uremia. The woman wanted to have more flexibility in her time to arrange her own affairs, and through medical treatment* **Xinxiang decided to choose peritoneal dialysis treatment, and now he arranges unlimited overseas travel every year.
The implementation of dialysis and exercise by kidney friends can help the physical and mental cooperation between doctors and patients to achieve the best treatment quality
Dialysis treatment can replace part of the function of the kidneys, but the residual renal function is still very important to kidney friends. It is very important that Taipei Wing Hospital established a peritoneal dialysis room very early. The complete medical team can also provide the most immediate care for kidney patients. The convenience of peritoneal dialysis treatment at home allows patients to work and live normally, which is suitable for patients with high autonomy. kidney patients. Dr. Tang Decheng also mentioned that there are three very important things to pay attention to during dialysis treatment: 1. Adequate dialysis, 2. Adequate nutrition, and 3. Moderate exercise.
Dr. Tang Decheng reminded that kidney patients undergoing dialysis treatment must undergo dialysis on time and in sufficient quantity to remove uremic toxins from the body; in addition, maintain a positive attitude, appropriately arrange exercise and activities, and have a positive impact on the body and mind. All are extremely helpful. With the joint efforts of kidney patients and the medical team, I believe that all kidney patients can enjoy good medical care and quality of life!
