Kidney Failure

Kidney failure is characterized by acute or chronic decrease or loss of renal function due to damage to the glomeruli of kidney.

Western Medicine treatments for kidney failure usually involve dialysis and/or kidney transplant etc.

Prevent Dialysis

ACMA deems that many kidney failure patients can avoid dialysis or even kidney transplant if they receive appropriate and in time Chinese Herbal Medicine (CHM) treatments. It is wrong to give kidney failure patients dialysis and kidney transplant if the kidney failure process can be stopped or even reversed by the Chinese Herbal Medicine treatments.

In 2005, ACMA received and treated a kidney failure patient with Chinese Herbal Medicine (CHM) before the patient started Western Medicine treatments.

After a few months CHM treatments, the patient's signs and symptoms disappeared. The blood and urine tests became normal. The patient had successfully avoided proceeding to dialysis.

Prevent Kidney Transplant

In 2006, ACMA received a patient who has been on dialysis for two years. Before visiting ACMA, the dialysis side effects started appearing, the patient's conditions got worsened, and the patient was put on the kidney transplant waiting list.

After Chinese Herbal Medicine treatments, the patient's condition get improved, and the kidney failure deteriorating trend has been stopped and reversed to some degree.

ACMA predicts that the patient's kidney failure condition may be recovered by the CHM treatments to such a degree that the kidney transplant can be prevented.
