Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. What makes Shijiazhuang Hetaiheng Hospital different from other kidney treatment centers?
Our hospital combines Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) with Western nephrology, following the core principle of “clearing blood toxins first” to treat the root cause of kidney disease rather than just managing symptoms, helping many patients avoid or delay dialysis.
2. Can Traditional Chinese Medicine really treat chronic kidney disease?
Yes. Our treatment protocol uses a three-stage process that promotes blood circulation, clears toxins, and balances Yin and Yang, supported by 36 research projects, 10 patents, and 165 published papers on kidney disease treatment.
3. Do I need to stop dialysis before starting treatment at your hospital?
No. Many patients continue necessary blood purification treatments (such as hemodialysis or plasma exchange) alongside TCM therapies, as our approach is designed to complement, rather than replace, essential medical care.
4. What kidney conditions do you treat?
We treat a wide range of conditions, including chronic glomerulonephritis, IgA nephropathy, nephrotic syndrome, membranous nephropathy, lupus nephritis, diabetic nephropathy, polycystic kidney disease, and chronic renal failure.
5. How do international patients arrange treatment and travel?
Once you contact us via phone or WhatsApp, our international partner (Imedix) arranges your treatment plan, accommodation, and airport pickup either through Beijing’s international airports or Shijiazhuang Zhengding International Airport.
6. Will I have a translator during my treatment?
Yes. Every international patient is assigned a dedicated professional translator to ensure smooth communication with our doctors throughout diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up care.
7. What diagnostic technology do you use to assess kidney health?
We use advanced equipment, including the Roche COBAS 8000 biochemical immune analyzer, the Siemens BNII protein analyzer, and specialized urine and blood tests, to detect kidney damage early and accurately monitor treatment progress.
8. How can I book a consultation or ask about my specific condition?
