Father gives son lifesaving treatment for kidney disease

Li Qingzhong has been keeping his son alive by carrying out renal dialysis at home ever since the 16-year-old was diagnosed with a chronic kidney disorder two years ago.

The teenager suffers from uremia, a buildup of urea in the blood caused by kidney failure, and requires dialysis four times a day.

Li learned how to carry out peritoneal dialysis, the most economical method, at home.
