Abstract

The effect of auricular point pressing beans + continuous intervention on β2-microglobulin (β2-MG), curative effect, and its relationship with prognosis in elderly maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) sufferers are explored. This examination selects 110 elderly MHD sufferers who are treated in our hospital from February 2020 to February 2021 as the examination objects, and they are randomly divided into two sets, 55 cases in the examination set and 55 cases in the contrast set. The sufferers in the contrast set are given routine attendance care, and the sufferers in the examination set are given auricular acupuncture combined with continuous attendance intervention. The experimental results show that for MHD sufferers, auricular acupuncture combined with continuous attendance during the therapy period can effectively enhance the clinical therapy effect, enhance the sufferers' inflammatory indexes and renal function indexes, reduce the readmission rate, and enhance the prognosis quality of life.
