Can Kidney Failure Be Treated With Acupuncture Or Laser?
last month there was renal failure of my wife who is of 62 years of age last month. Since then she is on dialysis which is done twice a week. The main cause of Renal Failure according to doctor is painkiller tablets which she was taking since last 15 years. I want to know is there any treatment in accupunture or laser to treat the failed kiney so as to decrease the number of dialysis in a week? What will be the cost of such treatment?
Thanks

Hello
I'm sorry to have to tell you this but neither acupuncture nor laser treatment can treat kidney failure. Medications like ACE inhibitors may help some and sometimes, in time, the kidneys recover to the point where dialysis is not longer necessary.
