Dialysis and its complications were debated recently. There was lack of an adjuvant renal replacement method to reduce the complications of patients with chronic renal failure and dialysis itself.
Materials And Methods:

Conclusions:
Traditional Chinese medicine-mediated hot bath could be one of the adjuvant renal replacement methods.
