Many people have developed kidney problems in recent years. Hong Kong movie star Richard Ng Yiu-hon, who just passed away on April 10 at 83, suffered from kidney failure in his later years and relied on kidney dialysis to survive. However, realizing dialysis’ many challenges, such as inconvenience, the chance of infection, neuropathy, and the like, make some patients refuse dialysis treatment. Can traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) offer any alternative treatment to help patients on the verge of dialysis but unwilling to start it?
Ng suffered from severe kidney failure. In an interview, he revealed that his kidneys were functioning at only 10 percent and he had to undergo dialysis daily. As a result, his range of activities was highly restricted, and he rarely went out.
