If someone is in ESRD, or End Stage Renal Disease, there are several options that their doctor should discuss with them. First, they would obviously treat a patient in ESRD with dialysis, whether in acute (sudden onset, sometimes reversible with dialysis treatments) renal failure or chronic (disease induced, not revisable. Once the patient is stable, the renal team would educate the patient with some other options.

Hemo-dialysis, (hemo-blood)- Hemo- dialysis is the most common dialysis treatment because it is the fastest way to treat and stabilized a patient. Once the nephrologist has diagnosed kidney failure and dialysis is immanent, a temporary catheter is usually placed in the jugular vein for a quick access. The dialysis team connects plastic tubing to the catheter and is able to clean the patients blood of toxins and remove excess fluid.

If the patient has Chronic Renal Failure, then the Nephrologist and renal team will educate the patient and family of their options.

A graft (artificial artery) or a fistula (the patients own artery), which is a permanent access, is placed in the patients arm. A fistula takes anywhere from 6-12 weeks before it's 'mature' enough to use for dialysis, and can last anywhere from 1- 20 years. A graft is usually ready within 1-2 weeks but generally lasts for only 2 years, although, some have lasted longer. The permanent accesses are used or 'accessed' by two, arterial and venous needles, each treatment. The first (arterial) needle is connected to the arterial side of the dialysis tubing, where the blood is pumped through the tubing to an artificial kidney, or dialyzer. The blood is filtered, then the 'clean' blood is returned through the venous side of the dialysis tubing, which is connected to the second (venous) needle. This process is repeated simultaneously by a pump for several hours until the blood has been cleaned of most toxins. Each treatment time is determined by how clean each patients blood gets during one treatment.

The second option might be peritoneal dialysis, aka CAPD. This type of dialysis is done through a catheter which is placed in the peritoneal cavity of the abdomen. The port is permanently placed, but is discretely hidden by clothing. A solution is infused through the port and is left to 'dwell' in the peritoneal cavity. After a period of time, the solution is drained. There is considerably more time to do other activities and a patient might be able to continue to work.

The third option is kidney transplant. Whether a family member or friend (living donor) decides to donate a kidney, or a kidney is donated from a cadaver (a non-living donor), the organ must be 'matched' to the patients blood type. If there is a match the patient can receive a transplanted kidney, which can last approximately 2-10 years. Although, there are anti-rejection drugs that have to be taken daily and are a expensive, this is option that is most like a natural kidney.

Nephritis is a kidney disease and a serious one. Only medical doctors should be treating it, no quacks or witchcraft, no voodoo or druids, no holy water, no prayers, just medical doctors and medication prescribed by them.

Renal problems are dangerous and can be life-threatening. See a doctor and follow his instructions. You can't cure kidney problems by yourself or with natural medication.
