Symptoms and Chinese Medicine for Stage 3 Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)

Symptoms of Stage 3 Chronic Kidney Disease(CKD):

The most common symptoms are sore waist, fatigue, nocturia, dizziness, tinnitus and dryness of the throat.

Invigorating blood circulation and eliminating blood stasis is the important principle of treating Stage 3 Chronic Kidney Disease.
Modern medicine proved that invigorating blood circulation and eliminating blood stasis can regulate immune function disorder, improve renal microcirculation and hypercoagulable state, remit platelet aggregation and increase fibrinolytic activity, therefore it is beneficial to removing immune complex and the transformation and absorption of hyperplastic lesions thus promoting the repair of the damaged tissues. All kinds of acute and chronic Glomerulonephritis are immune inflammation mediated by immune complex. Expelling wind and removing dampness has the effect of restraining immune reaction and promoting the recovery of Nephritis.

In treating Stage 3 Chronic Kidney Disease, blocking the progressing of renal fibrosis and protecting the renal function is the most important.

Renal fibrosis will cause the damage of renal function and the decline of glomerular filtration rate, so the toxin discharging ability will come down and the toxins will accumulate in the body and stimulate other organs thus causing various complications.
In treating Stage 3 Chronic Kidney Disease, we choose combination therapy of both Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy and western medicine. By medicine osmosis, micro-Chinese medicine can arrive the kidney lesions directly and has the features of fast absorption and strong targeting effect. Besides, we use western medicine to treat the complications so as to provide good internal environment for the full play of Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy. It can effectively restrain the continuing renal fibrosis of the healthy nephrons, activate the metabolic function of kidney inherent cells, promote phenotype transformation of the kidney and recover the renal function and increase the toxin discharging ability thus improving the quality of life of the patients.

We hope the patients can receive treatment as soon as possible and take low salt, low fat and low protein diet.

Risk Factors of End-Stage Renal Failure

Risk factors for End-stage Renal Failure are factors that do not seem to be a direct cause of the disease, but associated to it in some way. Having a risk factor for End-stage renal failure makes the chances of getting a condition higher.
The risk factors include :

Diabetes
People with Diabetes have high levels of glucose in their bloodstream. Those with diabetes mellitus type 1 have high levels because the cells in the pancreas that should release insulin have been destroyed. People with type 2 diabetes mellitus have tissues and organs that are resistant to insulin. Insulin is responsible for keeping normal glucose levels in the blood. The high levels make the capillaries in the kidneys hard and thick, which increases the blood pressure in the capillaries and leads to End-Stage Renal Failure.

Hypertension
High blood pressure affects the brain, eyes, heart and kidneys. The high pressure in the blood vessels of the body leads to high blood pressure in the capillaries of the kidneys as well. Hypertension makes the walls in the capillaries of the kidneys thick, but eventually the capillaries will rupture and hemorrhage. Hemorrhaging means the kidneys receive less blood flow and since the red blood cells carry oxygen, when the kidneys do not have enough oxygen, they cannot function and begin to fail. If they lose enough blood and oxygen, this leads to renal failure.
Also, people with high blood pressure, or hypertension, have increased odds of developing kidney disease. Hypertension also accelerates the progress of kidney disease where it already exists.

Obesity
Obesity is a risk factor for several health disorders, including respiratory problems, heart disease, certain cancers, liver disease, sleep disorders, gynecological problems, diabetes type 2, hypertension and end-stage renal disease. Because obesity increases the risk for developing diabetes mellitus type 2 and hypertension, and these disorders are risk factors for end-stage renal disease, physicians consider obesity a risk factor for renal failure as well.

Proteinuria
History of protein in the urine is a risk factor for ESRD

Smoking
Smoking has been linked to the progression of renal disease among diabetic and hypertensive patients.

Hyperlipidemia
Various lipid disorders are associated with the development of and progression to chronic renal failure.

Drug use
Overuse of over-the-counter pain medication or abuse of illegal drugs increases your risk of ESRD.

Other diseases —These conditions also affect kidney functioning:
Kidney stones
Polycystic kidney disease (cysts in the kidney)
Systemic lupus erythematosis
Congenital nephrotic syndrome
Atherosclerosis
All the above mentioned are the risk factors of the End-Stage Renal Failure.

Traditional Chinese Medicine Remedies for Renal Failure

With the development of advanced Renal Failure, there will be a lot of complications, which may aggravate the disease. Besides, scientific diet is very important to Renal Failure patients and the patients should also have a good state of mind to overcome the disease.

With the continuous development of medicine, Chinese medical treatment has made great progress in treating Renal Failure, forming a unique method of treatment. And the therapeutic effects have been recognized by many patients. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy has made great breakthrough in treating Renal Failure.

Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can be targeted directly at the lesion tissues and completely eliminate immune complex and necrotic tissues on the glomerular basement membrane. Besides, it can repair damaged base membrane, activate immune system of the body and accelerate metabolism. 

Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can treat both principal and secondary aspect of disease to effectively reduce serum creatinine and urea nitrogen, control blood pressure and prevent the disease from worsening continuously so that the patients can live a normal life with the disease.

Common Causes of Low Creatinine Levels

Creatinine level is an indicator of kidney health. Serum creatinine level remain normal when our body is functioning normally. Though many causes of low creatinine levels are not harmful, low blood creatinine may sometimes indicate the presence of severe medical conditions.

▪ A low protein diet.
Creatinine is produced through the processing of protein. If a person is eating unusually low levels of protein, the body will be making less creatinine, resulting in reduced creatinine levels.

▪ Loss of muscle mass.
This can occur with aging, a natural decline in the amount of muscle mass in the body. It can also be related with some medical conditions such as wasting diseases, sudden weight loss, myasthenia gravis, muscular dystrophy, and injuries that force people to take bedrest.

▪ Pregnancy
Pregnancy may cause low creatinine levels because of the redirection of nutrients to the baby. Pregnant women may have less creatine phosphate to break down due to changes in the body. Decreased creatine phosphate breakdown leads to reduced levels of creatinine.

▪ Liver disease
Usually, the liver disease is already known when low creatinine levels are observed, but drop in creatinine levels can be an indicator that the disease is deteriorating or that the liver is under stress. Diseases that can affect the liver include fatty liver disease, hepatitis and metabolic disorders such as Wilson's disease and hemochromatosis.

Case Analysis of Kidney Failure: Mesangio-Proliferative Glomerular Nephritis

Patient's Consultation:

IDENTIFIED IN THE YEAR 2002 - SINGLE FUNCTIONING KIDNEY BY BIRTH - BYOPSY REVEALED - MESANGIO PROLIFERATIVE GLOMERULO NEPHRITIS
PRESENT CREATINE 3 GFR 21.46

KINDLY ADVICE FUTURE COURSE OF TREATMENT CAN I AVOID TRANSPLANTATION HOW LONG THIS STAGE CAN EXIST WITHOUT AGGRESSIVE TREATEMENT

Expert's Reply:

According to your condition, I can see that you are in Renal Failure stage 4. If well treated, you can avoid dialysis and kidney transplant.

We are always doing research on how to help patients avoid dialysis and kidney transplant and we succeed. The treatment we adopt now are mainly Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy and Immunotherapy. I will send you two articles about the treatment and two recovered cases which is similar to your condition or even more serious. Hope it can bring you some advice.

By Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy, we can clean your internal environment and lower the serum creatinine. Then by Immunotherapy, we can repair the damaged renal tissues and recover the renal function. After the treatment, your serum creatinine will be lowered and the GFR will be raised.

Innovative Therapy for Kidney Disease: Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy

Chinese herbal medicine regulating therapy refers to a kind of osmosis therapy, it means:

kidney experts firstly choose effective herbal medicines according to patients' illness, then these herbal medicines are micronized by strong ultrasonic cultivation method, so it's very tiny, and it can permeate into patients' body with the help of osmosis device, so such therapy is also called as Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy.

This kind of therapy is safe, and won't cause any side effects, some patients describe it as massage.

This method not only put more medicines into renal lesion, but also enhance the use ration of medicines, avoid the gastroenteritis which is caused by oral taking medicines and also avoid medicines loss, as we know if medicines are taken by oral, medicines need to go through all digestive systems.

After entering into patients' body, through dilating blood vessels, anti-inflammation, anticoagulation, and preventing blood viscosity, the internal environment of the kidneys will be improved much, so the kidneys will be protected in such environment, and some of the kidney cells who are being damaged will self-heal.

Chinese Medicine Treatment for Acute Renal Failure

If Acute Renal Insufficiency patients fail to receive proper treatment, they will develop into Chronic Renal Insufficiency and then Uremia. So timely treatment is necessary. Then, how about Chinese Medicine Treatment for Acute Renal Failure?

Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy refers to a creative therapy summed up by many years' research in China. It is different from traditional oral medicine because it has no side-effects and the active ingredients can be penetrated into the patient's kidney lesions effectively.

Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy has the effects of promoting blood circulation and removing obstruction in channels, eliminating stasis and renewing kidney cells. As a result, it can improve renal blood perfusion and accelerate the body's micro-circulation so that the symptoms of the patient can be alleviated gradually.

Micro-Chinese Medicine refers to ultrafine grinding of Chinese medicine so that the active ingredients of it will be released and mixed together. Then, guided by effective penetrant and infiltration devices, the active medicine will be penetrated into the patient's damaged kidney to effectively repair it.

By enlarging blood vessels, anti-inflammation, anticoagulation and degradation, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can block renal fibrosis and repair damaged inherent cells and restore renal function. Therefore, the effects of Chinese medicine can be referred to as: blocking, repairing and rebuilding.

Patient's Consultation of Renal Failure

Patient's Consultation:
My brother is having kidney problem and he is on dialyasis.
His BP was high one day and then we understood both kidneys are shrink.
Kindly view the attachment for latest report of my brother's health.
Also plz send me some recovered cases similar to his condition.

Expert's Reply:

I have analyzed the Test Report. From the report I can see your brother has renal anemia and also hyperphospheremia. His serum creatinine is too high and renal function seriously damaged.
According to his condition, we can predict the effect on your brother. The nearest effect of Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy will be protecting the remaining renal function. The micro-Chinese medicine will expand the blood vessels and improve the microcirculation. In this way the supply of blood, oxygen and nutrition for the kidney will be increased and the blood flow in the kidney will be improved. The toxins will be discharged out with the blood flow so all the symptoms can be removed and the patient will feel very good. These effect can be seen in 5 to 7 days.

Immunotherapy can help repair the damaged nephrons and recover part of the renal function.I will send you two recovered cases similar to your brother's condition. Hope it can bring you some confidence.

3 Stages of Kidney Failure in Terms of Clinical Manifestations

Clinical manifestations of Kidney Failure can be categorized into 3 stages.

The early stage of Kidney Failure
During this stage, patients are suffering from hypertension, ischemia, sepsis or nephrotoxin, and all of which can easily cause Acute Tubular Necrosis. However, no serious damages have been caused to renal parenchyma during this time, so the symptoms are inconspicuous. In order to prevent the occurrence of Acute Tubular Necrosis, urine ordinary test and blood test are necessary for the timely detection and treatment of this disease.

Sustaining period
During this period, serious damages have been caused to renal tubular epithelial cells, with sharp decrease of GFR and more obvious clinical manifestations of Renal Failure. And these symptoms can sustain for a long time. Firstly, there is a oliguria period. Generally this symptom can last for seven to fifteen days, with some serious patients lasting for four to six weeks. For some patients, there may no oliguris symptom, and this generally indicates a promising prognosis. The symptom of oliguria stems from GRF decrease. With the further decline of renal function, more clinical symptoms will become apparent. Infection is one of the most common complications of Acute Renal Failure, and this usually causes function decline of other organs, with the mortality rate being more than 70%.

The recovery period
During this stage, the restoration of damaged intrinsic renal cells and kidney functions will be the priority. The remarkable clinical manifestation during this period is diuresis. For some patients, daily urine excretion volume can reach 3,000 to 5,000ml. This is because that filtration function of glomerulus has been restored, which leads to more water excretion, however, the restoration of renal tubular reabsorption ability is relatively delayed. Generally this symptom lasts for one to three weeks. Only few patients have some damages left to their renal structure or renal functions.

What can Be Done to Avoid Dialysis with High Creatinine 5

Once the creatinine is higher than normal, it means more than 50% of the kidney function has been damaged. Then, how to avoid dialysis for patients with high creatinine level 5?

Generally, there are 3 ways to lower the serum creatinine: limit protein intake and exercise, take intestinal detoxification and recover the kidney function.

High creatinine level is only a symptom, the root cause of it is the damage of kidney function. The kidneys are damaged and are unable to discharge the toxins in the body. Creatinine is the toxins secreted by muscles.

With the first two methods, the creatinine may be lowered, but it will increase again after short time, because the kidney function is continuing to decline. We suggest patients to receive systematic treatment to repair the damaged kidneys so as to avoid dialysis.

If you want to know more information about the treatment, you can consult online or send me more details about your condition by email me at khkpcn@hotmail.com. After analysis will offer you our detailed suggestions. Best wishes!

How to Deal with Hyperkalemia in Renal Failure

Hyperkalemia means that the serum potassium is high. It can be asymptomatic, meaning that there is no symptoms. The main symptoms of hyperkalemia include slow heartbeat and weak pulse. Severe hyperkalemia can result in fatal cardiac standstill (heart stoppage). Generally, a slowly rising potassium level (such as with chronic Renal Failure) is better tolerated than an abrupt rise in potassium levels.

Potassium is a major ion of the body. Nearly 98% of potassium is intracellular, with the concentration gradient maintained by the sodium- and potassium-activated adenosine triphosphatase (Na+/K+ –ATPase) pump. The ratio of intracellular to extracellular potassium is important in determining the cellular membrane potential. Small changes in the extracellular potassium level can have profound effects on the function of the cardiovascular and neuromuscular systems. The normal potassium level is 3.5-5.0 mEq/L, and total body potassium stores are approximately 50 mEq/kg (3500 mEq in a 70-kg person).

Minute-to-minute levels of potassium are controlled by intracellular to extracellular exchange, mostly by the sodium-potassium pump that is controlled by insulin and beta2 receptors. A balance of GI intake and renal potassium excretion achieves long-term potassium balance.

The effective way to lower the hyperkalemia is to treat renal failure, for it is the root. Immunotherapy for chronic and acute renal failure can achieve remarkable curative effects. This therapy can inhibit the fibrosis progression, reduce blood creatinine concentration and nephritic ischemia. 

Through Immunotherapy, we can not only maximally repair damaged renal cells, normalize hypertension but also alleviate symptoms like edema, proteinuria and occult blood. For some patients, they can reduce the frequency of dialysis or even get away from the dependence on dialysis

The Advantages and Disadvantages of Western Medicine Treatment for Renal Failure

According to western medicine, the best way to treat Renal Failure is to take Kidney Transplant or have dialysis. Then what are the advantages and disadvantages of western medicine treatment?

Kidney Transplant. When patients with Renal Failure are in the late stage, they can take Kidney Transplant. If they can find the proper kidney, kidney transplant can greatly improve their life quality. But kidney transplant is not an easy thing. Though the technology is good enough, patients have to prepare a lot for it to raise the successful rate of Kidney Transplant.
Unfortunately, all patients with Renal Failure do not have the chance to take Kidney Transplant. They may not find the proper kidney, or people don’t want to donate their kidneys. Besides, the number of kidney donors whose brain died is far less than patients needing kidney transplant; before the kidney transplant, patients have to be on dialysis to sustain life. Because there will be rejection after kidney transplant, patients with Renal Failure have to take some immunosuppressive drug which may lead to infection or tumors. If kidney transplant fails, patients have to have dialysis and wait for another kidney transplant.

Dialysis. For Renal Failure patients, a lot of toxin and waste can not be discharged out of body because of the damaged renal function. Dialysis is to clean the toxin and metabolic waste out of blood. Dialysis is used to replace the original renal function. So dialysis is also called "artificial kidney". Dialysis is more effective in relieving the illness condition. Though the renal function is less and less, Some Renal Failure patients on dialysis can live like normal people. But the problem is that dialysis can not treat Renal Failure any more. The development of Renal Failure would not stop or slow down because of dialysis. As the toxin and waste produced by food can not be discharged, they have to strictly control their diet to relieve the burden on kidneys. Once patients can not timely have dialysis, their illness condition will aggravate.

The western medicine treatment for Renal Failure is effective in treating Renal Failure. But the effect is limited due to many factors. Is there any more effective way to treat Renal Failure?

As we all know the main problem of Renal Failure is renal cells damage which lead to the decline in renal function, the more effective method to treat Renal Failure is to restore the damaged kidney function. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can restore the damaged renal cells. At the same time, it can provide an easier environment for the further treatment—Immunotherapy.

Causes of Heart Failure in Chronic Renal Failure Patients

Heart Failure is the serious complication of Chronic Renal Failure and the cause of death. The complication of Chronic Renal Failure—heart failure can be caused by many factors:

1. hypervolemia: when Chronic Renal Failure occurs, the blood volume increases. If heart can not complement it, the function of left ventricle will decline and it leads to heart failure.

2. Hypertension. Long time hypertension can lead to ventricle wall thickening and heart enlargement. As a result, it leads to heart failure. Besides, hypertension advances the development of atherosclerosis and then advances the occurrence of heart failure.

3. electrolyte disorder and acidosis. Chronic Renal Failure can lead to the change of myocardium excitability, which can lead to arrhythmia and then heart failure.

4. Renal anemia. Long time anemia can lead to anoxia in myocardium and the function of myocardium declines.

5. Dialysis. Dialysis leads to split-flow, which can impose the burden on heart. Long time dialysis may lead to heart failure.

6. Atherosclerosis. The complication of hypertension and hyperlipemia after dialysis can advance the development of atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis can increase the mortality of Chronic Renal Failure.

7. Weak immunity. When patients are in the stage of uremia, their immunity is weak. And they are easily inflammatory. And then it can easily lead to Myocarditis or Pericarditis.

How to Protect Kidneys for People with Kidney Failure

How to Protect Kidneys for People with Kidney Failure? The following are some suggestions:

1. Actively treat the primary disease.
Because primary disease is the main cause of Kidney Failure, patients have to actively treat the primary disease. For example, diabetics should stress insulin treatment in the early stage to slow down the decline in remaining renal function.

2. Remove renal obstruction factors
Patients have to pay more attention to the renal obstruction factors, especially for those old patients with Chronic Kidney Failure. They have to actively treat prostatic hyperplasia, ureteral calculus and kidney stone.

3. Avoid Nephrotoxic drugs
Many drugs can be harmful to kidneys. So patients have to pay more attention to the medicine they take. For example, penicillin, doxorubicin, and contrast agent.

4. Avoid hypotension
In dialysis, to avoid hypotension, the water volume removed should not be too more, for hypovolemia can lead to renal ischemia which damage kidneys. The proper water volume is usually 5-7% of patient's weight. Therefore, Chronic Kidney Failure patients have to control the intake of water between dialysis.

5. Avoid high-protein food.
As high-protein food can impose extra burden on kidneys, Kidney Failure patients who are not on dialysis should eat low-protein food and quality protein food.
