According to data from the China Research Data Service Platform, the number of dialysis patients in China has experienced explosive growth in recent years, increasing annually. By the end of 2022, the number of hemodialysis patients on dialysis in China was 844,265, and the number of peritoneal dialysis patients on dialysis was 156,645, with the total number of dialysis patients exceeding 1 million. In 2022, China added 156,645 new hemodialysis patients and 20,800 new peritoneal dialysis patients, totaling 177,445 new dialysis patients. With the extensive coverage of medical insurance and the improvement of dialysis technology and treatment capabilities, the dialysis age of patients has increased significantly. At the same time, dialysis-related complications have become increasingly prominent, becoming one of the key issues affecting patients' quality of life.
In recent years, with the continuous improvement and exploration of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) technology, it has played an indispensable role in improving dialysis adequacy, alleviating malnutrition, reducing the incidence of infections, and protecting cardiovascular and cerebrovascular health. Notably, Cistanche tubulosa extract - a precious TCM herb known as "Desert Ginseng" - has become a core component in TCM intervention for dialysis patients, thanks to its high active ingredients and remarkable nourishing effects. Many people wonder, "What are Cistanche's real benefits for dialysis patients?" This article will elaborate on its practical effects in TCM application for dialysis patients, combined with our professional manufacturing advantages.

The Role of Cistanche Tubulosa Extract in Peritoneal Dialysis Patients
The core of TCM treatment lies in syndrome differentiation and treatment, and spleen-kidney qi deficiency is one of the main syndromes in peritoneal dialysis patients. Based on years of exploration and clinical practice, oral TCM formulas (modified with high-purity Cistanche tubulosa extract) such as Gancao Ganjiang Decoction and Modified Shenling Baizhu Powder, combined with Tai Chi, have played a positive role in improving dialysis adequacy in peritoneal dialysis patients. Cistanche tubulosa extract, rich in active ingredients, effectively nourishes the spleen and kidneys, replenishes qi and blood, and helps enhance the body's metabolic capacity, thereby improving the effect of peritoneal dialysis.
According to TCM meridian theory, acupoint massage combined with acupoint application (Hegu, Yongquan, Zusanli acupoints) can relieve pain after peritoneal dialysis catheter placement. At the same time, on the basis of conventional anti-infection treatment, adjuvant oral TCM with kidney-tonifying, stasis-resolving and abdominal-clearing methods (supplemented with Cistanche tubulosa extract) and external application of Glauber's salt can better control peritoneal dialysis-related peritonitis. The high active ingredients in Cistanche tubulosa extract help enhance the body's immunity, inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria, and reduce the risk of peritoneal infection.
