What are the Main Factors Influencing the Development of Chronic Nephritis

Cold and infection: the Chronic Nephritis is a kind of immunological disease and it often is caused by a cold or infection. When the external antigen ( bacterium or virus) invades the human body, the human body will mobilize its defensive system and produce antibody to unite with the antigen, forming the antigen antibody immune complex. This is the immune response of body. When the antigen antibody immune complex flows through the kidney along with the blood circulation, it will deposit in the special site of glomertuli and damage glomerular permeability, therefore, large quantity of macromolecular substances are leaked into the urine, such as albumin, red blood cells. In the long course of Chronic Nephritis, the repeated immune response will lead to the damage of massive glomerulis and promote the chronic nephritis to process into the Chronic Renal Failure.
So we should take exercise positively in daily life and prevent the cold and infection.

Dietary factors: during the Glomerular Nephritis, its filtration membrane is damaged seriously. So in this situation, if we take much food with high protein, the kidney burden will be aggravated, which can accelerate the leakage of protein. The long-term and large quantity intake of food with high protein will make the kidney under overworked state and aggravate the illness condition gradually. When the disease develops into the Renal Failure, the intake of abundant protein will make the serum creatinine and urea nitrogen rise rapidly.
So we should take a reasonable diet and avoid the intake of abundant food with high protein.

Medicine factors: most of the medicines will be discharged by the kidney after the metabolism. However, some medicines will cause damage to kidney. We call them renal toxic medicines. If a healthy person has taken renal toxic medicines, it still has the possibility to damage his kidney, and even lead to the Renal Failure. Clinically, the commonly seen renal toxic medicines are gentamicin, kanamycin, tetracyclines family etc..The Chinese medicines which have renal toxicity are caulis aristolochiae manshuriensis and so on.
So we should avoid the western and Chinese medicines which have renal toxicity.

Hypertension: during the course of Chronic Glomerular Nephritis, it may be accompanied by the hypertension which is called renal hypertension. And the primary high blood sugar can give rise to the damage on kidney. The hypertension makes capillaries under the state of convulsion and sclerosis for a long time and cause the kidney ischemia and glomerular sclerosis. This is the main reason for the Kidney Atrophy and Renal Failure.
We should take the blood pressure medicine and control the blood pressure in the appropriate level.

Hyperlipidemia and hypercoagulability: the Glomerular Nephritis is often companied with hyperlipidemia which can worsen the glomerular capillary tissue damage and severely influence the restoration of kidney disease. Another complication of Chronic Nephritis is hypercoagulability. The blood viscosity will increase and the blood platelet is likely to gather. All of these can directly cause microcirculatory disturbance and block the glomerular capillaries.

The effect of mental state: the process of any disease will be affected by the mental state of patients. And a good mood is favorable for the recovery. During the Chronic Nephritis and Renal Failure, if the patient is in the long-time anxiety, frightening mood, the immunity will be reduced and the hypertension will rise then the illness condition will be aggravated. So we should be confident to ourselves and regulate our mentality to enjoy each day fully.

Chronic Renal Failure : Is It Good to Take Much Soy Products

Patients with CKD (chronic kidney disease) should take diet with high-quality protein, but the intake of protein should be limited. Soy product contains low-quality protein which is a kind of vegetable protein. It has small quantity of essential amino acid but large quantity of non-essential amino acid. The excessive intake of soy product will aggravate the azotemia.
A reasonable diet is favorable to relieve the retention of metabolic wastes and delay the process and aggravation of Chronic Renal Failure. A high-quality protein diet is suggested.
Food protein is from vegetable protein and animal protein. Although the protein content of most vegetables is less than that of animal, the protein content of the daily principal food, like rice and flour is 8%-9%. The protein content of Bean and soy products can be more than 20%. Meanwhile the non-essential amino acid content of vegetable protein is over 50% and that of essential amino acid is little. And vegetable protein also contains much patossium. So vegetarian food is not suitable to patients with Chronic Renal Failure. And they should take more animal protein which contains high essential protein, like milk, egg, fish, and it is not beneficial to vegetable protein like soy products.
But the intake of protein should be limited and it can be roughly calculated according to serum creatinine.
In one word, high-quality and low diet doesn’t mean vegetarian diet, which can’t relieve kidney burden. If you still have any other question about dietary habits of kidney disease, you can consult us online!

How to avoid and deal with the hyperkalemia during Acute Renal Failure

It is essential for patients with Acute Renal Failure to prevent the hyperkalemia:

(1) Strictly limit the intake of food and medicines containing potassium, like lean beef, banana, peanut, orange, sea-tangle, potato, soy products. Penicillin is rich in potassium, so large quantity usage of penicillin should be avoided.

(2) Enough energy should be supplemented. The proper intake of heat for Acute Renal Failure patient should be 146.5-188.4KJ/kg·day. If the energy is not enough in body, the protein decomposition will increase, which can lead to the hyperkalemia.

(3) Be cautious about the adoption of potassium-sparing diuretics, like spiraonolactone and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor.

(4) Control the infection positively.

(5) Avoid the infusion of the inventory blood (more than one week).

Whether Oliguresis is a Sigh of Acute Renal Failure or Not

Acute Renal Failure is a kind of clinical syndrome. During Acute Renal Failure, the excretion function of kidneys will decline rapidly in several hours or days. GFR (glomerular filtration rate) will reduce to 50% of the normal level and the serum creatinine will rise by 44.2umol/L each day. Once the above abnormalities are presented in short term, it may suggest Acute Renal Failure. Then patients should find out its causation positively.

The main sign of Acute Renal Failure is the rapid decline of renal function in short time: GFR declines to the 50% of normal level or lower than 50% or serum creatinine rise by on average 44.2umol/L a day.

Clinically, Acute Renal Failure can be divided into three different types: oliguria acute renal failure, non-oliguric acute renal failure, high decomposition acute renal failure. 

Oliguresis (less than 400ml each day) and anuria (less than 100ml each day) are the main features of oliguria acute renal failure. In general, oliguria acute renal failure experiences three stages: oliguric stage, aunria and recovery stage. However, some acute renal failure patients don't present oliguresis or anuresis. But their endogenous creatinine clearance rate declines rapidly in a short term and serum urea nitrogen and creatinine rise fast. This type is named as non-oliguric acute renal failure. In addition, when the urine amount reduces, we'd better ensure it is not caused by the bladder paralysis.

Features of Acute Renal Failure in the Elderly

Regarding the causation, the Acute Renal Failure in the elderly can be prerenal, renal and postrenal. Compared with adults, the causation proportion of the old is different. When people get old, the physiological sense of thirst will decline. Meanwhile, concentration function of kidney also declines and ability of maintaining sodium is poor. Although the body is short of water, there still is urine being discharged. So, once seniors present diarrhea, vomit, nausea, excessive urine, the prerenal acute renal failure is likely to occur. 

In addition, the heart failure, gastrointestinal bleeding, shock etc are also the main risk factors of causing prerenal acute renal failure of seniors. Prerenal acute renal failure accounts for about 40%-60% of Renal Failure in the elderly.

For seniors, because the high occurrence of prostate enlargement, urinary system stones and tumor, they also are easy to get postrenal acute renal failure which accounts for about 8%-38%.

For seniors, the renal-induced acute renal failure caused by glomerilar disease is gradually decreasing and the one caused by the sclerosis of renal tubules led by renal ischemia or nephrotoxic medicines and food poisoning are increasing. If the various prerenal factors are not corrected timely, it may develop into renal ischemia acute renal failure.

The treatment of acute renal failure of the seniors is familiar with that of adults. But there are more complications for seniors and the illness condition is usually more serious, so the treatment should be timely and comprehensive. The key points should be to maintain water, electrolyte and acid-base balance, control infection and positively prevent the complications.

The standard to receive dialysis for seniors is broader than that of adult. If the anuresis or oliguresis has existed more than two days and there are obvious uremic symptoms, the dialysis should be considered.

So the seniors who have Acute Renal Failure should be more careful in daily life. I hope the above information can help you, and if you have any other questions, you can consult us online or send email to khkpcn@hotmail.com.

Why do Renal Failure Patients Have Anemia

Anemia is a symptom that almost happens to every patient with Renal Failure. With the progression of kidney function deterioration, Anemia aggravates.

Renal Failure is identified as deterioration of kidney function that is caused by various chronic kidney diseases. Ordinarily, the kidney is responsible for secreting erythropoietin, which can stimulate the production of red blood cells by stem cells in bone marrow. But in patient with Renal Failure, damaged kidney affects the production of erythropoietin and its affinity with oxygen. In this condition, utilization of oxygen by hemoglobin increase relatively and ischemia in the kidney is relatively mild; resulting in stimulation of erythropoietin production decreases.

Anemia also can be caused by toxins (some metabolic waste). Patients with Renal Failure have decreased glomerular filtration rate, that is to say, some toxic metabolic waste can not be excreted by damaged kidney. Some toxic metabolic waste can inhibit bone marrow to produce red blood cells leading to hematopoietic disorder.

Sometimes Renal Failure can cause folic acid insufficiency. Increased folic acid-binding protein in patients with Renal Failure who have Uremia also can decrease the amount of cellular folic acid. Without enough folic acid, production of red blood cells will not be enough.

Anemia is a chronic health problem which may cause further health problems like weakness, gastrointestinal health problem and mental problem. Treating anemia is very important and necessary, especially for patient with Renal Failure.

Anemia can be relieved by treating Renal Failure and taking folic acid supplements or iron supplements. You can consult us on line for treatment of Renal Failure or email to khkpcn@hotmail.com.

Is There Any Way to Slow Down the Progression of Chronic Kidney Failure

Slowing down the progression of Chronic Kidney Failure has significant meaning for patients. There are a lot of available methods, such as early treatment, medications and diet therapy. The following enumerate several ways to slow down Chronic Kidney Failure development.
1. Eliminating risk factors of Chronic Kidney Failure exacerbation.
2. Maintaining the treatment of primary diseases of Chronic Kidney Failure, such as Chronic Nephritis, Lupus Nephritis, Purpura Nephritis, IgA Nephropathy, Diabetic Nephropathy and so on. All these chronic diseases need long-term treatment.
3. Dietary therapy. Patients with Chronic Kidney Failure are encouraged to eat low amount of quality protein, low phosphorous food. This kind of food can abate glomerular hyperfiltration and renal tubular hyper metabolism.
4. Decrease glomerular hyperfiltration. Patients with Chronic Kidney Failure can decrease their decrease the state of glomerular hyperfiltration by controlling blood pressure and taking ACEI (angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors)
5. Elimination deposition of calcium and phosphorous in renal tubulointerstitial. Low phosphorous diet is a best way to decrease phosphorous deposition in renal tubulointerstitial.
6. Abating renal tubular hyper metabolism. Renal tubular hyper metabolism will be abated by low protein intake and some medicines.
7. Correcting Hyperlipidemia (high level of blood fat). Patients with Chronic Kidney Failure can take some unsaturated food or some lipid lowering agents. Correcting high level of blood fat can slow down glomerular sclerosis.
8. Lessening Uremic toxins accumulation. Uremic toxins accumulation may development Uremia later on. Patients with Chronic Kidney Failure can lessen uremic toxins by low protein intake and intestinal dialysis.
9. Calcium antagonist. Calcium antagonist can slow down the process of glomerular sclerosis by controlling blood pressure, eliminating glomerular hyper filtration state and eliminating calcium and phosphorous accumulation in kidney tissues. Please ask you doctor’s advice before taking any medicines.
10. Antiplatelet drug. Antiplatelet drug works to inhibit formation of thrombus resulting in slowing down glomerular sclerosis.
11. Other medications. There are also some other medications can slow down the process of glomerular sclerosis and Kidney Fibrosis.
Chronic Kidney Failure is an irreversible disease that can not be completely cured by current medical power. However, there are some treatments can stop the further progression of Chronic Kidney Failure. To live a better and longer life, patients should consult your doctors to slow down the progression of Chronic Kidney Failure. And at the same time, they should continue their medical treatment.

Renal Failure: What Foods may Lead to Further High Urea Nitrogen

Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) is a significant indicator of kidney function but it is easily affected by many factors, such as food and diseases. BUN measures end products of protein metabolism in blood which are supposed to be excreted by the kidneys. However, patients with Renal Failure have different level of kidney damage so their BUN maybe higher than normal. There are some foods badly affecting BUN levels for Renal Failure patients. If patients with Renal Failure are going to check their BUN level or they want to reduce high urea nitrogen in their blood, they should reduce intake of the following kinds of foods.
1. Food with rich purine
Purine is found plenty in nitrogenous compounds. Purine will form uric acid after oxidation in the body. Excess uric acid accumulation in body will cause Hyperuricemia (also known as Gout). Patients with Renal Failure should avoid too much purine intake; here are some foods that rich in purine: animal livers, soybean and soybean products, peanuts, seafood and other bean products.
2. Excessive protein
As was remarked above, BUN is an indicator of end products of protein metabolism. Patients should just maintain adequate daily protein intake instead of excessive protein intake. Proteins are essential for remaining normal body functions but for patients with Renal Failure, much protein intake exerts an extra load of their kidneys resulting in acceleration of kidney damage. Patients with Renal Failure are recommended to consult a dietician who can give you specific advice based on your local food supply.
Except excessive purine and protein intake, patients with Renal Failure should eat less fat-contained food which may inhibit excretory of uric acid. Additionally, beer should limited within a small amount on account of inducing Hyperuricemia. There are some antihypertensive agents and diuretics also influence the elimination of uric acids.
Renal Failure patients should take some foods that are good for eliminating uric acids and declining high levels of blood urea nitrogen. You can consult our on line service or email to khkpcn@hotmail.com for better counseling.

What are the Most Common Causes of Renal Failure

Renal Failure can be the result of many reasons like Hypertension, Diabetes, genetic diseases like Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD), immunological related disease like IgA Nephropathy, or direct kidney injury by renal toxic drugs and so on. Kidney is an organ where blood filtration takes places. And the pathological changes of kidney are almost all related to blood circulation within and outside of the kidneys.
In order to make explain how these above mentioned factors affect kidneys and lead to final kidney function decline, we need first to make clear the most important tissue of kidneys----glomerulus.
Glomerulus consists of massive blood capillaries, and is the main place where blood filtration takes place. Once there is blood capillary break, squeeze, or block, pathological changes of blood vessel cells can easily take place and lead to overall kidney function decline. And, the above mentioned several factors damages kidneys mainly through affecting blood circulation within the kidneys.
Hypertension can easily lead to blood hyper transfusion into kidneys. Hypertension within kidneys not only lead to blood capillary break down, but also damages of filtrating barriers (endothelial cells, basement membrane and the epithelial cells). The damage of glomerular filtrating barriers gives rise to further damages of other renal tissues like renal tubules and intestinal cells, which accelerates the aggravation of kidney failure.
Diabetes damage kidneys through direct injuring kidney blood capillaries. It is known well that the most common complication of Diabetes is arteriosclerosis caused by dysfunction of glucose metabolism. Arteriosclerosis with in kidney capillaries can easily give rise to blood circulation blocks and following insufficient blood supply to kidney cells. Cellular necrosis and kidney function decline will be the final result.
Immunological related kidney diseases like Lupus Nephropathy or IgA Nephropathy are closely related to the immune complexes deposition in kidneys, which leads to pathological changes of the kidneys. Pathological change of kidneys gradually gives rise to final kidney function decline. This is kind of similar to renal toxic drug influence to kidneys.
Another common causation of Renal Failure is Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD). With the swelling up of these cysts, more and more pressure will be added to kidney functional tissues like glomerular blood capillaries and renal tubules. Finally, kidney function decline will finally be the result.
In summary, hypertension, diabetes, PKD and renal toxic drugs can all be the causation of kidney function decline. Based on different causation there are corresponding treatment methods. For more information, you can contact me at khkpcn@hotmail.com.

The Relationship between Serum Creatinine Increase and Chronic Renal Failure

Serum creatinine increase indicates kidney function decline. For renal failure patients, serum creatinine level increase could be the most common and dangerous situation.
The following is the reply to one patient whose serum creatinine level increased and then dropped after some treatments, but later on it started again. If you are suffering from serum creatinine level increase, you should have a good look at this following article.
After more than seven years treatments, I think you know well about your condition. Treatments you received before did help, but not blocking the aggravation completely. During the past years, your creatinine level was mostly above normal range. In terms of kidney disease, the increase of creatinine level indicates more than 50% of kidney function decline. Frankly, you are now facing large quantity of protein leakage, as well as serious kidney function decline. And that is why I recommend Immunotherapy. I once also mentioned micro-Chinese medicine osmotherapy, which takes effect in the similar mechanism as that of Ayurveda, which slows down aggravation. But none of Ayurveda or Chinese medicine can regenerate new kidney cells. During your past treatments, there was decrease of creatinine level. But that is not a sign of kidney function improve. Kidney has powerful compensatory ability, once kidney cells are relieved of the stressed situation like inflammatory response, the decrease of creatinine level is possible. However, kidney damage or pathological change can not repair by itself for kidney is incapable of generating new functional cells. So, we need to repair damages and restore overall kidney function. Immunotherapy is the latest treatment for kidney disease. As in your case, creatinine level was kept less than 3mg/dl and has been taking treatments continuously; there is a great chance for even more satisfying recovery. Sincerely hope you can consider about this before it is too late for any possible treatments but dialysis or kidney transplant.
If you are a renal failure patient with serum creatinine level increase, you can consider about Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy and Immunotherapy. Have you any more concerns; please send you specific condition to khkpcn@hotmail.com.

When should People with Kidney Failure Start Dialysis

As we all know that long-term diabetes can cause various complications, like diabetic retinopathy, neurological disorder and kidney disease. These are the commonest ones. if patients' high blood sugar can not controlled effectively, the kidney damage will be aggravated. It may process into kidney failure, even uremia. The treatment will be quite difficult.
Once our kidney damage develops into end-stage kidney failure, the common traditional treatment is dialysis, which can be named as artificial kidney. More and more patients want to know whether he or she needs to receive dialysis. Then I will introduce a general idea about the standard for dialysis.
If patients suffer from oliguria or anuria and the serum creatinine is higher than 442umol/L. In addition, patients also have obvious vomit, nausea and so on. Doctor often suggests the dialysis.
Because each person has different physical condition, they also present different symptoms. Then what is the proper time for dialysis?
Most patients are quite afraid of dialysis, which make them suffer a lot and also produces kinds of complications, even the death. So they may delay the time of start dialysis as possible as they can. But they ignore the living quality.
Then what are the advantages of taking the dialysis in the early stage of disease?
1 The contraction of stay time in hospital
The average stay time for patients who take the dialysis earlier is 6 days, while the stay time for patients who delay the time of taking dialysis is 35 days.
2 The reduce of expenditure
Due to the improvement of physical condition and quality of life, the occurrence rate of some complications will also be reduced. This will be helpful to lower the cost.
3 Obvious raise of survival rate
4 The early dialysis can ease water retention and be favorable to the control of hypertension. Then the dose of antihypertensive medicine will decrease, so the stimulation to gastrointestinal tract will also be eased.
I hope the above information can help you and if you have other questions, you can send email to khkpcn@hotmail.com. Our doctor will offer you the proper suggestion. Wish a good health.

How can I Prevent the Renal Failure

Renal failure is a manifestation of gradual decline of the renal function. If it is not controlled effectively, it will develop into uremia. In this situation, the function of kidney has been damaged seriously.
There are two kidneys in our body. But some people may only have one kidney, which will not affect their health. Therefore, in the early stage of renal failure, there is even no symptom indicating our damaged kidney. That is why patients always are suggested to do the urine and blood routine tests. What are the symptoms which can help us to get an early diagnosis?
Discomforts in our body: due to the accumulation of toxins and wastes in body, patients will feel discomfortable. The symptoms contain nausea, vomiting, bad sleep in night, loss of appetite, inching and fatigues.
Swelling: some patients may have edema, decline of urine volume, frequency in urination, especially in the night, swelling in hands and ankles, even the hard breath and swollen eyes.
Anemia: one function of kidney is to produce the hemopoietin. Once our kidney is damaged, this function will also be affected.
Other symptoms: hematuria, high blood pressure, foams in the urine, diarrhea, thirsty, uneasy sleep, decline of sexual desire.
In this situation, patients should pay attention to their daily diet and some foods should be avoided, like sea food and animal giblets.
When the hematuria and high blood pressure is discovered, patients should take the further test so as to avoid the occurrence of renal failure. If you have other confusion about kidney disease, you can send email to khkpcn@hotmail.com. Our experts will offer you proper suggestion on treatment.

Life Expectancy for the End Stage of Renal Failure

When the patients’ renal function is less than 15%, it has been the end stage of renal failure. In this condition, most patients feel worried and panic. And they will think about the life expectancy for the end stage of renal failure. Although dialysis and kidney transplant can prolong their life to some extent, the treatment of dialysis and kidney transplant is suffering and can lead to series of complications. While, what the patients should do when the condition develops into end-stage of renal failure?
For this question, in Chinese medicine theory, we always stress on treatment based on syndrome differentiation. This is because different patients have the different condition, then the treatment effects may be different.
Therefore, patients may achieve different life expectancy even they adopt the same treatment. What we can do is to try our best to achieve the best effects for the patients. And at the same time, we need the cooperation of the patients. Indeed, for the treatment, patients are the leading role and the principal part, not the doctor.
We hope all patients can strong up their mind and cooperate with the doctors, and then they will be the winner.
We always promote the idea that “asking your mind for the health”, this is not the idealism or mentalism. We just believe patient is the leading role for the whole treatment and doctors are your assistant for the treatment. And then plus the correct and effective therapy, so you certainly will get better, even the patients are in the end stage of renal failure.
In addition to the effective treatment and correct attitude for the illness condition, reasonable diets and life style are both important for the patients to prolong their life expectancy. The following suggestions may help the patients.
A. control the intake of protein: patients without the experience of dialysis, the kidney can’t eliminate the waste generated by protein metabolism, which will aggravate the condition of chronic renal failure, therefore, we suggest that the patients should control the volume of protein; while if the patients are taking dialysis, they should pay attention to preventing protein drain during dialysis, so the patients should maintain the demand of the body under the direction of nutritionist.
B. control the volume of sodium: for salt contains a large amount of sodium, so taking in too much salt will generate too much sodium, which will aggravate the renal failure and cause the cardiorespiratory failure. However, we must not take in low sodium salt, because the low sodium salt contains a large amount of Potassium ion.
C. control the volume of potassium: the accumulation of potassium in the body may cause the irreg. heart beat, and then cause the heart failure.
D. control the volume of phosphorus: for taking too much phosphorus may cause the drain of calcium, doctors will use medicine to assist the regulation of phosphorus in the body, preventing the occurring of osteoporosis.
E. the volume of water: if the patients have taken too much water and the kidney can’t eliminate the water out, it will lead to the edema and cardiopulmonary collapse, therefore the control of water is rather important. And doctors usually will determine the volume of water according to the volume of urinate and water eliminated during the dialysis, it usually is the urinate volume of the previous day adding 500-750cc.
Hope the above information is helpful for you or you loved. If you have other questions about the renal failure and the treatment, please send email to khkpcn@hotmail.com.

Chinese Medicine for Kidney Failure

Chinese medicine has various featured characteristics, and ‘promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis’ is one feature considered as the basis of Chinese medicine concept. And this is also the basis of Chinese medicine treating kidney failure.
Kidney failure or kidney function decline is closely related to poor blood circulation of the whole body, and especially within the kidneys. We all know that kidneys are where blood filtration takes place. Blood filtration guarantees the excreting out of metabolic wastes like urea and creatinine, as well as discharging extra water within the body. So, we can tell that what matters is whether there is fluent blood flow into kidneys for further filtration. Let’s imagine what will be the result if the whole body blood circulation speed slows down, or there is blood circulation block within the kidneys? Metabolic wastes and extra water retention within body are the initiators of creatinine level increase and serious edema.
Chinese medicine helps with treating kidney failure through promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis.
For person with kidney failure, in most cases, there is problem in their whole body blood circulation. This situation will be even more obvious among person with Diabetes, Hypertension, or Hyperlipidemia. These diseases commonly injury blood vessels directly (in cases of Diabetes) or indirectly slow down blood flow speed (in cases of Hypertension and Hyperlipidemia). Chinese medicine focuses on dissolving these blood circulation blocks like stasis and thrombus, as well as alleviating pathological change in blood vessels and proving necessary materials for the repairing of these injuries.
Secondly, pathological changes of kidney functional cells (like the necrosis of kidney blood capillary cells) will block blood circulation within the kidneys. In addition, kidney cells depend on blood circulation to provide them with necessary nutrients and oxygen. Chinese medicine dilates blood vessels and guarantees enough blood flow into kidneys, in order to provide more blood to kidney cells. More blood flow into kidneys is the basis of damaged cells’ self-repairing. By this, the progression of damaged cells developing into necrosis will somehow be blocked.
In short, Chinese medicine focus on promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis to guarantee fluent and enough blood flow into and within kidneys, in order to promote the overall kidney condition. Relatively speaking this is a positive method in treating kidney failure. Using Chinese medicine, we have the confidence in making a difference in treating kidney failure, so, if you are experiencing such problem, please be confident and send your specific condition to khkpcn@hotmail.com and our kidney experts will help with analyzing your condition and offer corresponding suggestions on treatments.

Alternative Treatment for People with Renal Failure 3 Stage

In renal failure 3 stage, kidneys can not work as normally as what it used to be to remove wastes and fluid from the blood. Consequently toxins will build up in the body which can cause a series of symptoms and complications among which some are life-threatening. Your GFR is about 30-60% and Creatinine is elevated more than before. You may experience high blood pressure, fluid retention, urinary symptoms, fatigue and abnormal lab values. Stage 3 renal failure is a moderate decrease in kidney function. But your doctor may tell you that dialysis will come very soon. As we all know dialysis is not a cure which just momentarily remove the toxins in your body and during dialysis, your kidneys is declining. Most people want to find other alternative treatment other than dialysis. When asked, your doctor may tell you there is no other treatment for your kidney disorder. At this time, you are terrified and worried about your kidneys. But you are a luck dog when you read this article. There is new treatment for stage 3 renal failure patients-tradition Chinese medicine and Immunotherapy.
Traditional Chinese medicine developing two thousand years has been proved that it is magical and effective on treating disease. And also it is herb medicine,to some degree which has fewer side effects on people. Through years’ experience and clinical trails, Chinese kidney experts have created unique medicine called Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy which is used to treat kidney disorders. It has showed its effects on kidney treatment.
Immunotherapy is used to treat disease and bring new hope for people with refractory kidney disease. In China, we treat renal failure with the joint treatment of traditional Chinese medicine and Immunotherapy. One is east medicine and another is west medicine. You can believe the combination of the two different medicines can give you new life!
You can consult me by email to khkpcn@hotmail.com for more information about Immunotherapy and traditional Chinese medicine. We are glad to help you!

How to Treat Renal Failure Effectively

The treatments on Renal Failure varies, such as primary disease treatment, diet treatment, control of Hypertension, balance of water and electrolyte, correction of metabolic acidosis and the newest treatment: Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy. Then how to treat Renal Failure effectively?
I. primary treatment: make a proper and long-term treatment on secondary Glomerulus Nephritis, Hypertension, Diabetes Mellitus, and Nephropathy.
II. Diet Treatment: patients in compensatory stage of Renal Insufficiency should keep high-quality (0.6～0.8g/kg.d) and low-phosphorus (<750mg/d) diet. Add the essential amino acids or alpha ketone acid, if necessary. End-stage patients without dialysis should keep high-quality and low-protein (<0.6g/kg.d) diet and add the essential amino acids or alpha ketone acid.
III. Control Hypertension: the first choice of anti-hypertension drug is ACEI and Calcium Calcium Entry Blockers but functional GFR (glomerulus filtration rate) decline should be avoided. Patients without dialysis, if their creatinine is over than 350umol/L, they should caution or avoid using ACEI and judge to use selective beta blockers and angiotensin II receptor antagonists. For early stage patients with rapid deterioration in renal function, they can try to use dopamine prostaglandin E1. For patients with resistant Hypertension, they can take Minoxidil and transfuse phentolamine or sodium nitroprusside and so on.
IV. Keep the balance of Water and electrolyte; correct metabolic acidosis. In early stage, if dehydration occurs, patients should take some water slowly. If Oliguria, Dropsy and Hypertension occur, patients should limit intake of water and salt and transfuse Furosemide discontinuously. If the volume of Furosemide is over than 400mg/d, the condition doesn’t change and then stop transfusion. With serious Dropsy or Cardiac Failure, patients should conduct dialysis as soon as possible. With dehydration and Hypertension, patients should limit the intake of potassium and treated as disturbance of potassium metabolism. If no effect or no urine and accompanied by Myocardial Injury, emergency hemodialysis is necessary. With serious acidosis, especially accompanied with deep breath or Coma, patients should transfuse to supply alkali or conduct emergency dialysis to correct acidosis, and transfuse calcium gluconate to avoid Tetany at the same time.
V. Eliminate toxins. If disease is not serious, patients should take Coated Aldehyde Oxystarch or dialysis salt urine poisonous clear and so on. Some patients can make use of mannitol brine preparations or Chinese Medicine—enema. In the end stage, Renal Failure patients should accept replacement therapy (dialysis or kidney transplant).
All above are some traditional treatments, which can’t repair the damaged kidney and can’t block the process of Renal Fibrosis. Then how to block the Renal Fibrosis? Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is suggested, which has a special effect on Chronic Renal Failure. Chinese native medicine ingredient can spread into all levels of renal artery and prompt the blood circulation, which can repair glomerular basement membrane, enhance the discharge of metabolin, improve Hypertension and metabolic acidosis and then the symptoms (such as vomiting, nauseas etc.) disappear. Once Chinese medicine active materials enter kidney lesion, they can break and eliminate immune complex and renal toxic factors to block renal deterioration.

Is It Possible to Get Rid of Dialysis

In the world, there are many kinds of disease will develop into Kidney Failure, such as Polycystic Kidney Disease(PKD), Diabetic Nephritis, Nephritis, High blood pressure etc. For some patients in the stage of Kidney Failure, more waste produce can’t discharge out of the human body, so the local doctor suggest them to receive the dialysis. However, so many patients refuse to undergo dialysis. Even, some patients want to get rid of dialysis, is it true that they can get rid of dialysis?
Firstly, patients should know why they need to undergo dialysis.
In kidneys, there are four main functions: 1. discharge the waste produce from the human body. 2. Absorb the useful substance from the human body. 3. Secrete the EPO to produce the red blood. 4. Secrete the special substance to maintain the balance of blood pressure. Because Kidney Failure patients have many toxin substances which can’t discharge from the human body, so they need the dialysis to maintain the balance of human body. At present, dialysis only can achieve the first function; the last three functions can’t be achieved by the dialysis.
What’s more, if the patient’s kidney function is very low, that means most of his kidneys get damaged seriously, so it is very difficult to get rid of dialysis. If dialysis can’t discharge, what kinds of treatment is the best choice for the patients with Kidney Failure?
1) Micro-Chinese Medicine is abstracted from the Chinese herbs, without any side-effect. This is the oldest traditional medicines in our country, like acupuncture. 2) All kidney disease is caused by the renal fibrosis, which means the blood can’t flow in the vessels. Chinese Medicine can dilate blood vessels, increase the blood flow volume in the renal lesion. 3) Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is not an operation, without any pain. Chinese Medicine is superfinely shattered like powder, they are putted into small bags and heated for 45 minutes, and then we put these small bags on the two side of kidneys according to the Acupuncture Points. What’s more, this process can be achieved with the help of osmosis device, so Chinese Medicine can get into renal lesion effectively. 4) The effective substance can repair the damaged renal cells, and clear the immune complex in the human body. After adopting Chinese Medicine for 3-5 days, the urine color can be changed obviously. (That is immune complex discharge into urine). 5) Chinese Medicine has the function of anti-coagulation, anti-inflammatory,prevent thrombus,degradation.

Relationship between Kidney Failure and GFR

Kidney failure is an illness condition that kidneys fail to work normally. If people get kidney failure, the toxins and wastes in their blood can not be filtered out of the body. Kidney failure can be secondary to Diabetic Nephropathy, Polycystic Kidney Disease, IgA Nephropathy and other kidney disorders.
What is GFR?
GFR, glomerular filtration rate, is the golden index of calculating kidney function. It is calculated through various factors such as serum creatinine, age, race, gender and so on. Your GFR can tell you which stages of kidney disease are you at. Base on GFR, your doctor can make specific treatment plan for you.
What is the relationship between kidney failure and GFR?
Kidney failure is shown up as a decrease in glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Generally, we can say one develops kidney failure when his or his GFR declines below 15. Usually, at this stage, patients will be already put into dialysis or on the waiting list of kidney transplant.
What if I have kidney failure and my GFR is low?
When patients begin to experience symptoms of kidney failure like fluid retention, little or no urine, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting and flank pain etc, you should promptly seek medical attention to determine the cause rather than assuming it is due to kidney failure. When your GFR is lower than 15, it means 85% of your kidney function has been lost. You should seek medical help immediately. You should find a natural therapy to repair you kidney units and alleviating your symptoms. What is more, you should also pay attention to your diet and lifestyle.

What Are the Effective Treatments for Chronic Renal Failure

Chronic Renal Failure patients are recommended to adopt treatment timely to avoid the development of the disease. Then, what’s a better treatment? Chinese medicine gives the answer!
Chronic Renal Failure is known as a clinical syndrome which is caused by various factors. As renal circulation decays or renal tubules changes, almost renal function loses suddenly, and thus kidney fails to discharge metabolism out of body. In clinic, dialysis is suggested due to its soothing ability. However, it can’t remove disease cause from the root. So, is there any other choice? In fact, it is Chinese medicine that is recommended by experts recently. Chinese medicine treatments for Chronic Renal Failure need neither dialysis nor kidney transplant. Meantime, it is cheap and safe.
After years of clinical research, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is developed, which treats Chronic Renal Failure mainly through adjusting systematic immune function and repairing glomerulus basilar membrane to spread drug effective components into damaged kidney, meatime, using dredging jing luo, promoting blood circulations and eliminating toxins as a way, thus activating renal function, improving necrotic renal microcirculation and speeding up the metabolism of damaged kidney. Therefore, effective components in drug can develop its ability in repairing damaged glomerulus and enhancing its reabsorption, as well as recovering normal renal function.
Due to the combination of Chinese medicine and modern technology, the effective components of Chinese medicine can develop its function adequately which spreads active ingredients into the root of Renal Failure, thus treating kidney disease fundamentally, recovering renal function gradually and discharging waste products in body, as well as increasing the elevated level of serum creatinie and urine nitrogen. At same time, with clinical symptoms improving, Chronic Renal Failure patients can take a turn for the better gradually.
Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy has already brought health and happiness for countless patients, which is also hoped to see the recovery of more Chronic Renal Failure patients.

What is the Life Expectancy of People with Kidney Failure

Kidney Failure patients' survival life mainly depend on the condition of illness, urine quantity, the severity of complications, renal fibrosis and so on. From the view of modern kidney disease pathology, if patients haven’t develops into Uremia and glomerulus filtration rate is not less than 20%, the disease have a chance to be reversed generally.
There is no exact dividing line to show how long can patients with Kidney Failure live for. According to this problem, kidney experts put forward the following suggestions. Considering lack of relative knowledge, patients may delay the disease condition. Therefore, you can keep in touch with the doctors who can give detailed guidance on your treatment and daily care.
If patients can secrete a few urine, it proves that kidney has a certain function. In this condition, if the remaining nephrons can be protected and more nephrons functions can be recovered, patients have a chance to get rid of dialysis and live a normal life with the treatment of Chinese medicine.
If patients are in the early stage of Kidney Failure and their creatinine level is not high, it is possible for them to live for a long time. In other words, if the damaged renal function can be treated well, it is possible to recover. Otherwise, the disease may develop into Uremia. Even though related to physical condition, treatment effect mainly depends on a proper and timely treatment. Besides, daily care should be notice. Never catch cold and anger. Keep insipid diet. What's more important is the confidence to overcome Kidney Failure. All of these can delay the deterioration of Kidney Failure.
If patients aggravates to the end stage of Kidney Failure, not only their clinical symptoms should be treated, but also the damaged Renal Function should be repaired. Only in this way, patient's condition can be controlled and their life quality can be improved thoroughly.
If possible, please accept conservative treatment as soon as possible, which can prolong life, even live a healthy life with disease for a long time.
To improve life quality, patients should notice daily care so as to control the disease from the aspects of mind and life. Besides, the confidence to defeat disease is important, especially during the process of treatment. Therefore, patients should keep optimistic and build confidence instead of always worrying about survival life.

How to Prevent End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD)

At present, there is no cure for End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD), a kidney disease that kidneys stop working well enough. Usually, sufferers will rely on dialysis or kidney transplant to sustain their lives. ESRD is a serious and potentially life-threatening disease.

So, patients with Diabetes should keep your blood sugar under control and you blood pressure lower than 130/80mm Hg.
Other kidney problems Uncontrolled kidney problems like Polycystic Kidney Disease, IgA Nephropathy, Lupus Nephritis, Purpura Nephritis and other conditions will develop into ESRD finally. However, measures can be taken to control these conditions from aggravating, which requires patients to have an early diagnose and an early treatment.
As for Polycystic Kidney Disease, a hereditary condition, patients can use natural herbs to control the growth of cysts. IgA Nephropathy, Lupus Nephritis and Purpura Nephritis are all connected with immunity system. Immunotherapy can deal with these disorders very well and patients can have a try.
