How will patients with nephropathy celebrate the spring festival scientifically?
The spring festival is just around the corner, making people with strong homesickness want to go home anxiously. So do those patients with nephrothy. In the process of treatment, they catch up with the New Year, but the illness doesn’t allow them to leave for home, causing them to make blind decisions. As for this phenomenon, we survey and interview the patients in kidney disease hospital, finding that nearly 75% of patients have this blind behavior.
Aunt Zhang, 53 years old, when hospitalized, her condition is not rather optimistic, with creatinine 800umol/L, urine volume 300-400ml and basically in the anuria state. Besides, the edema has been quite serious and diagnosed as uremia. When treated ineffectively, on January 5, 2011 she came to kidney disease hospital where the clinical doctors made for her a series of treatment measures, applied the method of Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmothrapy and the western medicine. After about a month of treatment, her condition has improved obviously, that is the reduction in cretinine, the gradual increase in urine output and a good appetite.
As we see the New Year is approaching, the patients always think that they must go back home to celebrate it. Aunt Zhang said that it is ominous to celebrate the New Year in hospital, in addition, her family members are waiting for her to have reunion dinner and it is a tradition to celebrate it with family members at home. Aunt Zhang’s decision to go home became more firmly when her eldest son came back to see her from other province and advised her to go home. Thus aunt Zhang has prepared well in these days.
For this, the experts interviewed by us in kidney disease hospital told us that there did exists the phenomenon of stopping the treatment blindly so as to be able to go home to celebrate the New Year. The experts suggest that the patients like aunt Zhang with nephropathy should celebrate the spring festival cautiously and scientifically and can not be too excited. During the period of New Year, the friends and relatives who have not seen each other for a long time will get together and attend various parties, which may cause the bad effect on their mood and diet. Their blind decision of leaving hospital and stopping treatment will make their improvement in vain. Therefore, to celebrate the New Year cautiously and scientifically is a necessity for those patients, the people as their family members also should actively coordinated treatment with hospital and listen to doctors’ advice.
There will be another New Year in the later, but the opportunity for patients with nephropathy is only once, so for ones’ own health, those patients should celebrate the New Year cautiously and scientifically.
