The incidents of quack doctors misusing people are not uncommon, not only failing to cure the disease, but also causing patients to spend unjustified money in vain, and most importantly, delaying their illness. Especially for patients with kidney disease, the renal damage itself is difficult to reverse, and once it is believed that quackery will cause great harm to the body. Understanding how to identify quackers is important for the treatment of kidney disease. Here are three methods for your reference.
Aunt Wu has suffered from nodular periarteritis and has repeatedly failed to heal. According to a newspaper, a doctor from a Chinese medicine hospital in a certain city, who is skilled in treating such diseases, is pleased to go to see her. The doctor took a hasty look at the disease and said without hesitation, "It's easy to treat. You haven't treated well for so long, just because the treatment is not effective.". Aunt Wu was overjoyed and took a large packet of Chinese herbal medicine decoction every day. After about two months, her condition became worse and worse, and she developed a low fever.
Uncle Chen is a suburban farmer who has suffered from duodenal ulcer disease and unbearable upper abdominal pain. He has visited a hospital for one or two outpatient visits, but he has not improved. He feels very confused. One day, I came across a street recruit and learned that the X City Medical Center recently received a medical consultation at Weishang. It has an ancestral secret method for treating stomach diseases, which can cure the broken roots within a short period of time. Uncle Chen went to the clinic on time and saw several people wearing white coats on the stall, who looked like doctors. There were many people seeking treatment. Uncle Chen saw that there were so many patients, and he thought it would work, so he paid 40 yuan for the diagnosis. The doctor attached a tape to his ear and contained a small pill similar to the Six Shens Pill. And boasted that it only took three days to apply it, and the medicine would cure the disease. Unexpectedly, after a few days, the upper abdominal pain worsened instead. In a neighboring village, there was a person named Huang who had also suffered from the disease and had been hospitalized. Uncle Chen went to inquire and learned that it was also invalid. Only then did he know that he had been deceived.

Beware that kidney disease quacks are mainly in patients, and the following three points should be kept in mind:
1. We should dispel superstitions and believe in science. Do not believe in exaggerated kidney disease propaganda, nor blindly believe in hearsay, but believe in objective laboratory tests.
2. We need to find out what kind of kidney disease it is. In order to have a targeted and targeted treatment. This should be the case regardless of Chinese or Western medicine. Western medicine has relatively effective treatment methods for many diseases and should not miss a good opportunity. Of course, there are also some diseases for which Western medicine does not have specific treatment. Even so, it is a scientific approach to first determine what kind of disease to treat, and then ask TCM to treat it according to its syndrome differentiation and treatment. Based on the above, it is best for patients to go to a well-equipped hospital for diagnosis first, and only after the diagnosis is established can they decide to use western or traditional Chinese medicine for treatment. The example of Aunt Wu fully illustrates this point.
3. Currently, all major hospitals have experts for consultation, and the registration fee is not expensive. If you feel that your condition is more complex, it is better not to be afraid to bother to queue up, so that you can find a trusted doctor to see a doctor without delaying your condition.
The above prevention methods are not only useful for preventing kidney disease patients from being mistaken by quackers, but also applicable to other diseases. In general, patients should not be confused by superficial phenomena when choosing a doctor for treatment. Those who wear white coats are not necessarily doctors, and the advertising content is not necessarily accurate. Let alone listen to the personal experiences of unknown people. Be sure to polish their eyes or choose a regular hospital for kidney disease treatment.
