Details Determine Health

The daily lifestyle habits of hemodialysis patients are crucial for maintaining physical health and improving quality of life.

1. Maintain Good Sleep

Adequate sleep helps the body recover and boosts immunity. Patients should avoid staying up late and ensure 7-8 hours of sleep each day. Additionally, maintaining a regular sleep schedule helps establish a biological clock and improves sleep quality.

2. Quit Smoking and Limit Alcohol

Smoking and drinking can increase the burden on the kidneys and affect dialysis effectiveness. Patients should quit smoking and limit alcohol consumption to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

3. Pay Attention to Personal Hygiene

Hemodialysis patients have lower immunity and are more susceptible to infections. Therefore, patients should pay attention to personal hygiene, wash hands frequently, wear masks, and avoid crowded places. Additionally, keeping the dialysis room clean and well-ventilated can reduce the risk of infection.

4. Protect the Dialysis Access

The dialysis access is the "lifeline" between the patient and the dialysis machine. Patients should take good care of their dialysis access to avoid infections, blockages, and other complications. If any abnormalities occur, they should seek medical attention promptly.

5. Balance Work and Rest

Patients should arrange work and rest time according to their physical condition. Avoid overexertion to prevent worsening the condition. At the same time, maintain a positive mood and enjoy the sense of accomplishment that work brings.

Although the daily life of hemodialysis patients is full of challenges, by managing time wisely, focusing on diet, exercise, psychological adjustment, and cultivating healthy habits, we can achieve a harmonious coexistence between dialysis and life.
