What are the Symptoms of Amyloid Nephropathy

If the disease can not be treated well, Amyloid Nephropathy can aggravate into Kidney Failure at last. Hence, it is better for patents know the symptoms well.

1. Protein urine.

2. Swelling (edema) of the eyelids, the lower limbs and the whole body

3. Big tongue (amyloid macroglossia)

4. High blood pressure.

5. Hypoalbuminemia and hyperlipidaemia

6. Blood urine.

7. Pain in the abdomen, loin and back pain

8. Fatigue and some patients may have nausea.

What are Causes of Amyloid Nephropathy?

What are Causes of Amyloid Nephropathy?
1. Complications.

Neoplastic disease, infectious disease and immunological disease are the main cause of Amyloid Nephropathy. About three quaters secondary amyloidosis may progress to Amyloid Nephropathy and the others are Amyloid Nephropathy.

2. Immune system.

In the condition of immune dysfunction, proteins are not able to be resolved as normal but collect in the tissues, forming amyloid fiber which is regarded as foreign invaders. Then inflammation will occur and kidney cells will be damaged, after some time, patients may have symptoms.

What is Amyloid Nephropathy?
Amyloid Nephropathy is characterized by numerous amyloid fibers depositing on the renal tissues. primary disease-amyloidosis. The amyloid fiber is a glass-like thing and includes amyloid protein, amyloid protein A, prealbumin, etc. amyloid fiber can be are the main cells that can be produced and decomposed by Macrophages.

How is Alport Syndrome treated?

Currently there is no specific treatment for Alport Syndrome. The same treatments that are used in people with high blood pressure and other symptoms of kidney disease are used in people with Alport Syndrome. Kidney transplantation is usually very successful in people with Alport Syndrome, and is the best treatment when end-stage kidney failure is approaching.

Medical researchers are very interested in understanding why people with Alport Syndrome develop kidney failure, and in developing treatments that can slow or prevent the development of kidney failure. Several treatment approaches are being tested in animals with Alport Syndrome. Nowadays, with the development of modern medical technology, the traditional Chinese Medicine, Natural Immune Balance Treatment, Cells Treatment and other methods are proved useful for Alport Syndrome.

How is Alport Syndrome diagnosed?

Currently, diagnosis of Alport Syndrome relies on careful evaluation of the patient's clinical features, family history and results of tissue biopsies. Alport Syndrome produces unique changes in the walls of the blood vessels of the glomeruli that can be detected by electron microscopy of kidney biopsy material. Kidney biopsies can also be tested for the presence or absence of the type IV collagen alpha-3, alpha-4 and alpha-5 chains. This information is often very helpful in confirming a suspected diagnosis of Alport Syndrome. An alternative diagnostic procedure is skin biopsy. The type IV collagen alpha-5 chain is normally present in the skin. In most men with the X-linked form of Alport Syndrome the alpha-5 chain is completely missing from the skin.

What are the symptoms of Alport Syndrome?

Alport Syndrome always affects the kidneys. Many people with Alport Syndrome also have hearing problems and abnormalities of the eyes, because the type IV collagen proteins are important to the normal structure and function of the inner ear and the eye.

Kidneys: The central feature of the disease is the presence of blood in the urine (hematuria). Boys with X-linked Alport Syndrome develop hematuria in infancy, and it is always present. The great majority of girls with X-linked Alport Syndrome also have hematuria, but it may come and go The hematuria of Alport Syndrome is usually microscopic, meaning it can only be detected with a microscope or a urine dipstick. Sometimes children with Alport Syndrome have brown, pink or red urine ( gross hematuria) for several days, brought on by a cold or the flu. This gross hematuria will go away on its own and while it may be frightening, it is not harmful.

As boys with Alport Syndrome grow, they begin to show other signs of kidney disease, including protein in the urine and high blood pressure. These symptoms are often present by the time the boys are teen-agers. Girls with Alport Syndrome usually do not have protein in the urine and high blood pressure until much later in life, but occasionally these symptoms appear in teen-aged girls with Alport Syndrome.

Ears:Deafness is another important feature of Alport Syndrome. About 80% of boys with Alport Syndrome will develop deafness at some point in their lives, often by the time they are teen-agers. The deafness affects both ears. Fortunately, hearing aids are usually very effective in these people. Girls with Alport Syndrome may also develop deafness, but less frequently than boys, and usually later in life. Kidney transplantation does not improve the deafness of Alport Syndrome.

Eyes:About 15% of men with Alport Syndrome have an abnormality in the shape of the lens called anterior lenticonus. People with anterior lenticonus may have some problems with their vision, and may develop cataracts.

Treatments for Membranous Nephropathy

Common Treatment

The goal of treatment is to reduce symptoms and slow the progression of the disease.

Controlling blood pressure is the most important way to delay kidney damage. The goal is to keep blood pressure at or below 130/80 mmHg. Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) are the medicines most often used to lower blood pressure.

Corticosteroids and other drugs that suppress the immune system may be used.

High blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels should be treated to reduce the risk of atherosclerosis. However, a low-fat, low-cholesterol diet is usually not as helpful for people with membranous nephropathy. Medications to reduce cholesterol and triglyceride levels (most often statins) may be recommended.

A low-salt diet may help with swelling in the hands and legs. Water pills or diuretics may also help with this problem.

Low-protein diets may be helpful. A moderate-protein diet (1 gram of protein per kilogram of body weight per day) may be suggested.

Vitamin D may need to be replaced if nephrotic syndrome is chronic and does not respond to therapy.

This disease increases the risk for blood clots in the lungs and legs. Patients are occasionally prescribed blood thinners to prevent these complications.

However, the above treatment only can alleviate the symptoms of Membranous Nephropathy, it can’t treat this disease from the root.

Exams and Tests
A physical exam may show swelling (edema).

A urinalysis may reveal large amounts of protein in the urine. There may also be some blood in the urine. The glomerular filtration rate (the "speed" at which the kidneys cleanse the blood) is usually nearly normal.

Other tests may be done to see how well the kidneys are working and how the body is adapting to the kidney problem. These include:

Albumin - blood and urine

Blood urea nitrogen (BUN)

Creatinine - blood

Creatinine clearance

Lipid panel

Protein - blood and urine

A kidney biopsy confirms the diagnosis.

The following tests can help determine the cause of membranous nephropathy:

Antinuclear antibodies test

Anti-double-strand DNA, if the antinuclear antibodies test is positive

Blood tests to check for hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and syphilis

Complement levels

Cryoglobulin test

Causes of Membranous Nephropathy

Membranous nephropathy is caused by the thickening of part of the glomerular basement membrane. The glomerular basement membrane is a part of the kidneys that helps filter waste and extra fluid from the blood. The exact reason for this thickening is not known.

The thicker glomerular membrane does not work normally. Large amounts of protein are lost in the urine as a result.

This condition is one of the most common causes of nephrotic syndrome. It may be a primary kidney disease, or it may be associated with other conditions.

The following increase your risk for this condition:

Cancers, especially lung and colon cancer

Exposure to toxins, including gold and mercury

Infections, including hepatitis B, malaria, syphilis, and endocarditis

Medicines, including penicillamine, trimethadione, and skin-lightening creams

Systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, Graves' disease, and other autoimmune disorders

The disorder occurs in about 2 out of every 10,000 people. It may occur at any age, but is more common after age 40.

What are The Characteristics of Natural Immune Balance Therapy?

To make up the treatment Schedule: For each patient, after the physical examination, the expert doctors will make up a treatment Schedule for them according to their examination results, 10 times is one treatment course, commonly, the patient will receive 20 times continuously, for patient in special their treatment may prolong or stop according to their illness condition.

b. Treatment method: In our hospital we adopted the unique six kinds of balance therapies together with the clinical integrated treatment to make each patient to be fully up to the balance states of Yin and Yang, and get the effects of strengthening genuine Qi to eliminate pathogenic factors.

（4）Main Method

Balance Medication is referring to the Chinese herbal medicine multi-dimensional external treatment.

Clinical Application: Computer Medium Frequency Fumigation Therapy used together with Traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine of Multifunctional Electromagnetic Medicated Bath Therapy, Iontophoresis Therapy and Aerosol Inhalation Therapy and so on, are mainly for dredging meridian of the whole body, regulating the Yin and Yang balance, strengthening genuine Qi to eliminate pathogenic factors to improve the body’s metabolism, promote the restore of the damaged tissues and recover its physiological function.

（5）Assistant Method

During the course of main method treatment for the patients’ existing problems, it needs other five kinds of balance therapies to have a further treatment. It’s mainly bases on the patients’ different presentations, after syndrome differentiation, to choose the different treatment schedule.

Balance Acupuncture includes multi-needles acupuncture (one time tens or hundreds needles used), one needle acupuncture (one time one needle or dozen needles used), and abdominal acupuncture. With these three different acupunctures, according to syndrome differentiation The patient’ body can quickly enter the balance states within a short time (commonly 3-5 times). This kind of treatment is suitable for the difficult and complicated cases.

Balance of Auricular Acupoint Therapy is referring to balance the vital organs of the human body at one time and improve the symptoms rapidly in 1 to 3 days. This treatment is different from the traditional auricular acupoint therapy. It is suitable for the functional disease, such as insomnia, hard breath, gastrointestinal dysfunction and so on. It can also be used as an assistant treatment for the other balance therapies.

Balance of cupping therapy is referring to put tens or hundreds of cups on the fourteen meridians for 5-10 minutes in one time, to improve the symptoms rapidly and get the effect at one time. It is suitable for damp-heat and damp-cold symptoms with severe blood stasis.

Balance of Light Bath Therapy is referring to using the treatment method of Special Electromagnetic Spectrum following the Qi and blood movement direction, with the uniform reinforcing-reducing method to get the effect of warming meridian to dredger collaterals, promoting the blood circulation to remove blood stasis, strengthening genuine Qi by restoring normal functioning of the body to consolidate the constitution, balancing the vital organs and Yin and Yang of the human body. It is suitable for deficiency-cold patients.

Anion Balance therapy is referring to that under the function of anion, through adjusting the internal acid-base balance, to make the body recover its Yin and Yang Balance and its physiological state. This treatment is suitable for conservative treatment of all kinds of systemic diseases of the whole body.

What is the Function of Natural Immune Balance Therapy?

1.To improve kidney function: medicine of activating blood circulation and eliminating stasis can improve the renal blood circulation, relieve hypercoagulable state, promote the absorption of fibrous tissue. And may some of obsolete nephrons at different levels; and TCM of Cordyceps Sinensis can really improve the kidney function, and has been used to the treatment of Renal Insufficiency and even Uremia.

2. To regulate immunity: all tonics, blood-activating drugs and heat-clearing and detoxicating drugs in Chinese medicine can increase the phagocytic function of reticuloendothelial system. Some of the Chinese medicine have the bidirectional regulating function in immunity. Chinese antirheumatic medicine has the anti-allergic function, especially the Common threewingnut root has a good efficacy for Glomerulonephritis. According to the research, this drug can restrain the forming of immune complexes, and relieve the glomerular’s inflammation.

3. To excrete metabolic waste: For example, Rheum can accelerate excretion of urea nitrogen and creatinine and then relieve Azotemia.

4. Diuresis : Traditional Chinese medicine has a good diuretic function. Such as: Grifola, Poria Cocos, Rhizoma Alismatis, Plantain, Lysimachia, Chinese Lobelia and so on used together with some mild kidney medicine may have a good effect in promoting Diuresis. Research suggested that mild kidney medicine may improve kidney’s blood flow, and increase glomerular filtration rate. And water-disinhibiting medicine can reduce the reabsorption of kidney tubules. So these two kinds of medicine used together can promote diuresis.

The Diet Precautions of Patients with Polycystic Kidney Dise

Polycystic Kidney Disease means numerous cysts on the kidneys. It is a common genetic kidney disease. Its general treatment is diet nursing. For the diet precautions, expert points out two aspects: something harmful food and something helpful food.
The harmful food includes:
1. Alcoholic beverage: especially liquor. Patients with PKD should give up drinking. Because the liquor has a serious irritation for kidneys. And also, it can irritate the protein activity of polycysts and accelerate the cyst growth
2. Lacto-fermented foods: the lacto-fermented food refers to the fungus fermentation food, such as soy cheese, rotten eggs. Avoiding eating these foods will slow down the cyst growth.
3. High protein food: for all kidney disease, patients should have a low protein diet to avoid synthesizing nitrogen metabolism, which can reduce the kidneys’ excretion, such as soybean, tofu and other bean products
4. Animals’ internal organs: the cooked food of animals’ internal organs is not suitable for patients with PKD, particularly the animals’ liver. Because much toxin are left over the liver and kidneys, especially in the liver because of its function of detoxifying. If patients eat this, it will overload kidney’s burden and worsen the condition.
5. Forbid coffee and chocolate.
The helpful food includes:
1. Fruit and vegetables with high vitamin
2. Fruit and vegetables with rich ferrum, such as carrot
3. Vegetables that can dissolve the stones such as black fungus
4. Food with the diuresis ability

5. Base-forming food can assist the treatment

How Much Do You Know the Diet Precautions for Lupus Nephrit

Diet, as one of the important factors for treating kidney diseases, has many precautions for different patients with different diseases. However, what diet is suitable for patients with Lupus Nephritis?
Experts in Yumei Kidney Disease Hospital point out:
1. Patients with Lupus Nephritis should not eat or eat less food that enhance the light sensitivity, such as figs, milk vetch, rape, mud snail and celery. If eating these foods, patients should avoid exposing under the sunshine. Fungi such as mushroom, champignon, food dyes and tobacco will induce the systemic lupus erythematosus, so it should be avoid.
2. Patients with Lupus Nephritis should eat high quality protein diet. For the patients with kidney damage, they will lose large amounts of proteins into the urine, and result in hypoproteinemia. So they should supply enough high quality protein, such as milk, soy products, eggs, lean, fish and so on.
3. Patients with lupus nephritis should have a low lipid diet. They often have a little activity and a poor digestive function, so they should eat some light and digestible food, and try to avoid fry food containing much lipid.
4. Patients with Lupus Nephritis should have a low sugar diet. Because of long time glucocorticoid treatment, patients are easy to have steroid diabetes and Cushing syndrome. On this occasion, patients should control the appetite, eat less high sugar food.
6. Patients with Lupus Nephritis should have a low salt diet. Patients using corticoid or with kidney injury are easy to cause water and sodium retention, resulting in swelling. So they should have a low salt diet.
7. Patients with Lupus Nephritis should supply more calcium to prevent Osteoporosis and eat much vegetables and fruit containing rich vitamin.

In the whole, patients with lupus nephritis should have a low lipid, low sugar, low salt and high quality protein diet, which is helpful for patients’ health and recovery.

The Diet Precautions for Patients with Purpura Nephritis

1. Avoid touching all allergic foods. Patient should avoid eating food that can induce Purpura Nephritis, and try to avoid eating diet that can induce allergic Purpura Nephritis, such as fish, shrimp, crab, pollen and cow’s milk.
2. Fluid intake. When patients are in the early kidney failure, their kidney concentrating function has been reducing and the metabolic products need much water to be removed from the kidneys. So if patients have no serious swelling, it is not necessary to limit water aimlessly.
3. Keep a balance diet. The proper diet includes the whole grains, fresh vegetables and fruits, beef, mutton, pork and so on.
4. Avoid salty food, spicy food, and roast food. Patients with Renal Insufficiency or End-stage Kidney Failure should not eat soy products and limit animal meat with high albumin and fry food.
5.Strengthen physique and improve the immunity. Patients should strengthen physique and improve the immunity for all kinds of infections; avoid all inducing factors for allergic purpura.

6.Salt intake. The salt controlling should be based on patients’ condition and kidney function. Not all patients with Purpura Nephritis must control salt intake.

The Diet for Patients with Nephrotic Syndrome

Patients with Nephrotic Syndrome often complicate with gastrointestinal swelling and ascetic fluid, which is affecting digestive absorption, they should eat some digestive and slight diet.Due to kidney damage, patients will lose a large amount of protein, and the body will keep protein malnutrition state. Currently, the diet food should be high quality, and the standard is 0.8-1.0g/d/kg. Because most of patients with Nephrotic Syndrome have hyperlipidemia, the animal fate should be limited. Patients with severe edema should limit salt intake, the standard is less than 3g/d, and complement trace element.

The tips for patients’ diet with Nephrotic Syndrome:
1. Sodium salt intake: patients with swelling should have a low salt diet, in order to avoid worsening the swelling. Commonly, the standard of salt intake is 2g/d. patients must not eat salted products, and eat less monosodium glutamate and food base. When the swelling is degrading and plasma protein is close to normality, patients can get back to normal diet.
2. Protein intake：When people have nephritic syndrome, large amounts of plasma are removed into the urine, protein in the body is decreasing and in the malnutrition status. Low protein will make plasma oncotic pressure decreasing, and leads to stubborn swelling, and the body resistance is reducing. So when people have no renal failure, they should be given high quality protein diet (0.8-1.0 g/kg.d), such as fish and animal meat, which is helpful to relieve hypoproteinemia and its complications. When the urine protein becomes negative and plasma protein is normal, patients can have a low protein diet with high quality.
3. Lipid intake: patients with nephritic syndrome often have hyperlipidemia which will result in arteriosclerosis and glomerular lesion and sclerosis. So patients should limit cholesterol and lipid intake, such as animals’ organs, fat meat, and some seafood.

4. Trace elements supplement. Due to basement membrane permeability for patients with nephritic syndrome increasing, in addition to lose large amounts of protein in urine, patients will lose some trace elements and steroid, which will make calcium, magnesium, zinc, Ferrum insufficient. So patients should supply some trace elements. Commonly vegetables, fruits, field crop and marine products which contain rich vitamin and trace elements are recommended.

The Common Renal Toxin Drugs

In clinical practice, many drugs can affect kidneys. The common renal toxin drugs are including:

1. Antibiotic: 1. Aminoglycosides antibiotics: such as streptomycin, neomycin, kanamycin, gentamicin, amikacin, tobramycin, paromomycin and so on.2. Cephalosporin: cephalosporin II; (3) polymyxin: mainly polymyxin B; (4) amphotericin B; 5. Tetracyclines: tetracycline, declomycin, oxytetracycline and doxycycline; 6. Sulfonamides; 7. rifampicin.
2. Non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs: such as acetylsalicylic acid, ibuprofen, butazodine, diclofenac and indometacin and piroxicam usp and so on.
3. Antineoplastic drugs: such as cisplatin, carmustine, amethopterin, streptozocin,L-asparaginase, mitomycin, mithramycin.
4. Biological products: 1. Bacterin or vaccine made by microbiology; 2. Toxoid made by microbiology metabolic products; 3. Antitoxin or blood preparation made from human or animal blood; 4. Bacterial liquid or serum using in diagnosis.
5. Painkillers: such as morphine, dolantin and so on. Many painkillers contain phenacetin which is a renal toxin medicine. And aspirin in the painkillers will strengthen its renal toxin.
6. Vitamin: mainly Vitamin D, Vitamin A.
7. Other renal toxin substance: heroin, contrast agent and chemical substance such as mercury (Hg), Cadmium (Cd), gold, aluminum, silver, ferrum and such metal or heavy metal, organic solvent ethylene glycol, carbon tetrachloride, antiepileptics and anti-hyperuricosuria drugs and so on.

After knowing the renal toxin drugs, people with kidney damage should following the doctor's advice, and choose the correct treatment for kidney problem. Try to avoid taking the renal toxic drugs.

How to Take care Patients with Diabetic Nephropathy?

Diabetic Nephropathy is the disease that Diabetes leads to different levels of kidney damage. In 10 years, most patients with Diabetic Nephropathy will develop to Chronic Kidney Failure and Uremia. After having Diabetic Nephropathy, the glomerular capillary basement membrane will grow thick and then appear glomerular sclerosis. The clinical symptoms are proteinuria (protein in the urine), swelling, high blood pressure, anemia, abnormal kidney function and retinal disease. For patients with Diabetic Nephropathy, from excreting proteinuria to dying of Uremia, the death interval is about 10 years. For the patients with protein more than 3g, they are usually dying within 6 years. Uremia is a serious and high concurrent rate complication in the urinary system for patients with Diabetes. So Diabetic Nephropathy is one of the most common complications for Diabetes. Patients usually develop to End Stage Kidney Failure because of Diabetic Nephropathy, which is the direct inducement resulting to a high death rate for patients with diabetes.

In Yumei Kidney Disease Hospital, there are many experts with rich clinical experience for Diabetic Nephropathy treatment. The treatment using integration of Western Medicine treatment and Traditional Chinese Medicine treatment is very effective. As to how to take care of patients with Diabetic Nephropathy, the experts have much reasonable suggestions. The suggestions are:
1. Control and mix the diet reasonably.
Patients should eat less food with high sugar, such as potato, sweet potato, banana, rice, wheat flour. All these food contains large amounts of starch, after digestion, it is easy to transform to carbohydrate, which can increase kidney burden.
Patients can eat a little food with low protein, such as milk without fat, egg white, fish and shrimp and such protein food, accompanying with vegetables containing much cellulose, which cannot only ensure that protein intake will not increase kidney burden, but also help patients recuperate the more healthy physique.
2. Doing exercise and prevent disease
Patients with diabetes can consume and control blood sugar through doing exercise. According to patients’ physique and disease condition, they can do exercise with the help of Patients can medical sports equipment or walking and running to strengthen the function of muscle tissue resolving glucose, which can eliminate excessive fat and improve lipid metabolism.
3. Activities that is suitable for patients with Diabetic Nephropathy.
For patients with Diabetic Nephropathy and Diabetes, they should choose the slow, regular-frequency, persistent and malleable activity. Patients should choose the low-intensity and low-toughness activity.
4. The characteristic treatment in Yumei Kidney Disease Hospital.
(1)Use the Traditional Chinese Medicine treatment to differentiate the syndrome and symptoms. Integration of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Western Medicine Treatment, and systemic treatment.
(2)Use medicine through multiple pathways to accelerate medicine factor absorb and improve immune balance.
(3) Classical prescription together with external treatment can tonify the kidneys, clear away the lung-heat, promote blood circulation, keep balance of Yin and Yang, repair the damaged cells and recover kidney function.
(4)The theory of Traditional Chinese medicine is strengthening genuine Qi to eliminate pathogenic factors, strengthening spleen and tonifying lung.

(5) The treatment together with natural treatment can improve the effect, no poisoning, no side-effects, and also reduce the recovering time to regulate systemically, which can effectively recover the kidney function and prevent recurring.

How do we solve hyperkalemia in kidney failure?

Patients with renal failure appear high potassium should be deal with as soon as possible.According to the illness,we need different treatment .Today we discussed from three aspects. The Potassium in blood increased sharply, if it is short time usually need to take active measures to treat, we need the help of the doctor by correct acidosis who use of certain drugs to potassium dropped to normal level in a short period of time.For particularly serious patients, they should give blood dialysis treatment. For hyperkalemia slightly higher, the illness is not serious , we can reduce potassium though the habits and customs.First of all, daily intake of potassium content control in 50 to 60 mmol.stay away from coffee, bananas, oranges, spinach, potato.Such as food containing potassium is higher, it should be noted is that broth containing potassium is high, so should go to eat soup, meat for vegetables, especially high potassium should also go to eat soup. Far from leading to a high potassium drugs, including inhibiting renin - angiotensin - aldosterone system drugs, beta adrenergic receptor blockers, indomethacin and inhibition of potassium in the distal renal tubular secretion of drugs (e.g., spironolactone, ammonia, benzene pteridine) such as renal failure patients will cause hyperkalemia increased drug use. Learn the correct judgment of hyperkalemia in patients with renal failure, pay attention to the details in life, avoid to cause high potassium, TCM has roots in regulate renal failure avoid hyperkalemia in-depth research and good effect.want to understand more details

The risk factors affecting the development of renal failure

High blood sugar has no control in a reasonable range.Poor blood sugar control seriously affect the body′s metabolism, cause kidney damageHigh blood pressure. Usually are varying degrees of renal failure patients with high blood pressure, long-term unreasonable application of blood pressure drugs as well as the bad living habits are also contributing to the cause of high blood pressure, high blood pressure and may increase renal function failure.Proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia.Proteinuria is kidney changes reflect, at the same time, a large number of protein leakage of protein in the body is reduced, affect the normal metabolismIn addition, the study showed that anemia, hyperlipidemia, high homocysteine hematic disease, malnutrition, elderly, uremic toxin accumulation and so on, may also be in the middle of the clinical course of chronic renal failure.

1. Acute worsening risk factor is mainly composed of the cumulative renal diseases (such as primary glomerular nephritis, hypertension, diabetes) recurrence or worse.

2. Insufficient blood volume (hypotension, dehydration, massive bleeding or shock, etc.)

3. Kidney local blood flow decreased dramatically (such as renal artery stenosis patients using ACEI and ARB drugs)

4 .Serious failed to control the high blood pressure

5. Nephrotoxicity drugs

6 .Urinary tract obstruction

7. Severe infection

8 .Hypercalcemia, severe hepatic insufficiency.Comprehensive the above factors, insufficient blood volume and reduced local blood supply lead to renal hypoperfusion, low filtration, is the main cause of a sharp deterioration in renal function.For a sharp deterioration in renal function in chronic renal failure course, such as processing timely and properly, may make the illness has a certain degree of reversal, and prevent the development of the disease.In everyday life many risk factors affecting the development of renal failure can be avoided, but have a plenty of inevitable in our life, a lot of the details of the life casual likely will lead to kidney failure, how to protect the renal function, avoid kidney failure, more details

Do you know about chronic kidney diseases?

Kidney failure cannot be cured really?

Many experts in this area to make sure answer, to the end of the uremia kidney damage is irreversible, life only have once, is irreparable.But if you are a kidney failure patients please don′t give up the hope of life, we discussed from three aspects: the treatment of renal failure, may be able to help you

The early renal failure is usually by drug treatment, usually you will use some clinical control symptoms of drugs to control your blood pressure, blood glucose, serum creatinine indicators to achieve the goal of treatment.Patients at first look each index is normal, but with the development of the disease simply the applicati.

After declining kidney function, when the body of toxins accumulated to the kidneys are not able to completely remove the patients should be treated by dialysis.Dialysis three times a week, usually about 4 to 6 hours at a time.Dialysis probably many patients will appear between 5-10 years reduced the volume of urine or anuria.General 15-20 years kidney dialysis patients with complete loss function.on of the drug is not enough.

How can’t rely on drug treatment for renal failure patients?How can’t rely on dialysis treatment for renal failure patients?Experts also say the middle and the early renal failure is not irreversible, but many patients to try traditional Chinese medicine for external use to prevent the development of the disease who has obtained the good effect.For more detial of Traditional Chinese medicine for external use only。

The Disadvantages of Western Treatment for Kidney Disease

For the treatment of kidney disease, in western countries, steroid and immunosuppressive drugs are usually the first choice, but patients have a little effect. What is the reason? It is because both of these drugs have the ability of anti-inflammation and immunosuppression. They can eliminate the inflammation within a short time in the kidneys, thus prevent the renal intrinsic cell damaging, controlling the symptoms temporarily. But the renal intrinsic cells are still at the damaged state. Once patients catch a cold and have overworked, the disease condition may relapse and even worsen.

Also, after using steroid treatment, patients will present a lot of side-effects, such as weight gain, bone rarefaction, resistance reducing, blood sugar increasing, gastrointestinal ulcer, electrolyte disorder, and so on. All these symptoms are the results of using steroid treatment.

After knowing the disadvantages of western treatment for kidney disease, we hope patients could choose the correct treatment methods. The earlier treatment is, the better the result is. Never see doctor aimlessly and miss the best treatment time.

How Many Stages for Kidney Function Decrease?

The kidney function decrease caused by chronic kidney disease can be classified into 4 stages:
Stage I: the stage of kidney reserve decrease: in clinical, this stage is also called kidney insufficiency compensatory stage. At this stage, the renal nephrons will decrease by 20%-50%; the renal excretion and regulatory function are still normal; blood urea nitrogen and serum creatinine are also in the normal range; and patients commonly have no symptoms;

Stage II kidney insufficiency decompensatory stage: the renal nephrons decrease by 50%-70%, the renal excretion and regulatory function are decreasing; patients appear urination increase in the night, fatigue, nausea, vomitting, diarrhea, anemia and such symptoms; the renal concentration is a little poor; blood urea nitrogen and serum creatinine begin to increase, and patients may have slight acidosis. At this stage, the treatment should be primary with non-dialysis treatment.
Stage III kidney failure stage, also called preuremic stage, the renal nephrons decrease by 75%-90%; patients appear the symptoms of urination increase at night, severe anemia and uremic systemic symptoms, and patients may also have hypocalcemia, hyperphosphatemia, hyperchloremia and hyponatremia. The metabolic acidosis is obvious. At this stage, patients should prepare to do dialysis and rectify anemia;

Stage IV, end-stage uremia: the renal nephrons is less than 10%, patients appear the severe systemic poisoning symptoms and complications, including, digestive system, cardiovascular system, nervous system and so on. Patients may also appear secondary hyperparathyroidism. At this time, patients should take dialysis to maintain life.

How Long Can They Live for Patients with Lupus Nephritis?

For patients with Lupus Nephritis, how long they can live is a common concern topic for them and their family members. As to this question, we asked the Professor Wang in Yumei Kidney Disease Hospital who has great attainments in the treatment of Lupus Nephritis with the integration of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Western Medicine. Professor Wang told us:
Firstly, for this disease, the earlier the treatment is, the better the result is. In western countries, they often use Steroid, Cytotoxic drugs and Hypotensive drugs to control the symptoms of Lupus Nephritis. With the combination of these drugs, it can rapidly control the symptoms of Lupus Nephritis. But using steroid, Lupus Neophritis may be easy to relapse. Once catching a cold or a little fatigue, all these factors can result in the symptoms reappearing. If doctor wants to control it again, patients must get larger dosage of above drugs, such as Steroid, Cytotoxic drugs. After this condition repeating many times, the disease will become difficult and complicated. And with the period of using steroid become longer, the side-effects of these drugs will begin to appear: for the mild case, patients will present moon-shaped face, buffalo hump and easy infection; for the severe case, they will have bone rarefaction and femoral head necrosis. So the simple western medicine treatment for Lupus Nephritis is not the best treatment measure.

Most of Lupus Nephritis cases have a protracted course and slow progression, this is to say, this disease commonly has no vital danger at the early and medium stage. Only the disease is progressing to uremic stage, it will threat patients’ life. This period may be several years, ten years or several decades. So patients shouldn’t worry about how long you can live with Lupus Nephritis, when getting the first diagnosed. And the most important thing is to find the suitable treatment. If the treatment is effective and it can stop the disease progressing to Uremia, patient can have a long life like normal people.
In addition, the daily nursing is also very important for the Lupus Nephritis patients. In daily life, they should have a regular life, balance diet, proper work and rest, try to avoid infection, exposure, and nervousness. During the Lupus Nephritis activity stage, the patients need to stay in bed and receive the treatment positively. After the disease condition controlled in stable, under the guidance of the doctor, the patients can do some proper works and the young female patients may be pregnant.
At last, patients must prepare with all protections, especially out of door, patients shouldn’t be very fatigue, or it will worsen the condition.
