Nursing Experience of Delaying Dialysis in a Patient with End-Stage Chronic Renal Failure through Herbal Enema Combined with Chinese Herbal Decoction
This article summarizes the nursing practice of delaying dialysis in a patient with end-stage chronic renal failure through combined herbal enema and individualized Chinese herbal decoction therapy. The patient presented with recurrent elevated serum creatinine, foamy urine, systemic fatigue, and aggravated lower limb edema, which were differentiated in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as spleen-kidney deficiency with dampness-turbidity and blood stasis. Based on comprehensive nursing assessment, the integrated intervention of herbal enema and tailored herbal decoction effectively slowed the progression of renal impairment, significantly alleviated clinical symptoms (fatigue and edema), and achieved successful discharge.
