Chronic Pyelonephritis

Chronic Plyelonephritis is the chronic inflammation caused by bacteria infection of kidneys. The main lesion is to injury renal interstitium, renal pelvis and renal calices. Because the inflammation progression or recurrence results in damaging renal interstitium, renal pelvis and renal calices and forms scarring tissue, which will cause to nephrarctia and renal insufficiency. Commonly patients may only have abdominal pain and (or) low fever, and no noticeable urinary infection: painful urination, frequent urination and urgent urination. Its primary presentations are nocturia increasing and a bit of white blood cells and proteins. Patients who have the history of long-term or recurrent urinary infection will occur to Uremia at the late stage.
Symptoms and Signs
1. Systemic poisoning symptoms: chill, fever, fatigue and poor appetite.
2. Local symptoms: abdominal soreness, abdominal pain and percussion pain between ribs.
3. Bladder irritation signs: frequency, urgency and pain urination, urination difficulty. And the history of urinary tract infection is more than half a year, with no response for antibateria treatment.
Clinical Symptoms:
This disease presents complicatedly and variously in clinical practice. The main presentation is true bacteriuria. There are a bit of white blood cells and proteins in the urine. And bacteriuria may be persistant or intermittent. Patients mostly have recurrent urinary irritation signs. Some patients may neither have systemic symptoms or noticeable urinary irritation signs. Some patients have low fever, abdominal pain, fatigue, frequent urination or pyuria after recurrent tests. Sometimes, patients may just have sallow complexion, tireness, poor appetite. In children, they present loss of appetite, mental fatigue, anemia, maldevelopment, growth retardation or enuresis, uroclepsia.
It can be divided into five types:
1. Recurrence type: it is typical chronic pyelonephritis. Patients usually recurrently occur to urinary irritation signs, with bacteruira. Low fever or medium fever and dull pain between the kidneys are also the symptoms.
2. Long-term low fever type: patients often have no urinary irritation signs, and just have low fever, dizziness, fatigue, losing weight and poor appetite, which is often misdiagnosed by neuronal low fever, tuberculosis, or other chronic infectious disease.
3. Hematuria type: a minority of patients are characterized with recurrent hematuria. And hematuria can relieve without treatment.
4. Asymptomatic bacteriuria: Patients neither have systemic symptoms nor urinary irritation signs, but there are many bacteria, a bit of white blood cells, and occasional cast in the urine. This type is commonly seen in pregnant women and girls.

5. Hypertensive type: patients may have urinary infection history before, but the main clinical presentation is Hypertensive symptoms featuring with dizziness, headache and fatigue, or occasionally high blood pressure, but no urinary irritation signs. So it is easy to be misdiagnosed by idiopathic hypertension. This disease is one of the basic diseases for progressive hypertension. If young man and women have hypertension, it should be considered to chronic pyelonephritis. Patients may complicate with proteinuria and anemia, and GFR is decreasing.

What is the Harm of Diabetic Nephropathy?

Diabetic Nephropathy refers to long-time Diabetes resulting in kidney damage. The main symptoms are protienuria (protein in the urine) and high blood pressure. So, what is the harm of Diabetic Nephropathy? Experts in Beijing Yumei Kidney Disease Hospital told us that the harms of Diabetic Nephropathy include:
1. patients’mental stress and agony. For people with and without kidney disease, there physical condition and life quality are different, as well as threat and mental stress.
2. Resulting in death. Although Diabetic Nephropathy is not like heart disease that easily leads to sudden death, it is a primary cause for patients with Diabetes to result in death. In clinic practice, the main death population of Diabetic Nephropathy is Type ⅠDiabetes. Because, patients with Type ⅠDiabetes are occurring at the early age, the progression is rapid, and the kidney function is poor, finally all patients will appear damage in heart, cerebrovascular, and kidneys. In addition, kidney disease will lead to disability. For example, patients with dialysis will have a different life from the healthy people
3. Resulting in huge economic waste. For example, if patients need dialysis, they must require dialysis twice a week at least, which will bring a large economic burden. Also, the work and manual labor will be affected, which is also a waste.
So, we should try to avoid having Diabetic Nephropathy. We can’t make all people avoid Diabetes, But we can try our best minimize the number of Diabetic Nephropathy. Even people have had Diabetic Nephropathy, we should try to slow down its progression to Uremia and avoid dying early.

What is the Cause of Kidney Cysts?

The cause of the kidney cyst has been a common concerned question for many people. Now following the the expert in Beijing Yumei Kidney Disease Hospital, we have a good understanding of it. The cause of Kidney Cysts includes:
1. Diet:
For people with Kidney Cysts, they should go to the regular hospital to receive the professional and systematic treatment. In diet, the patients should have a scientific and regular diet habit, and don’t do it blindly. The bad diet habit may worsen patients’ disease condition. The mainly factors are nutritional deficiencies produced by excessive hungry, excessive full bilge made the spleen and stomach’s digestion and absorption function damaged and lead to obstacle of Qi and blood circulation; excessive eating too much food containing fat and sugar. Bean and bean products should be limited for patients with Kidney Cysts .
2. Toxin.
The virus infection can bring a large detriment to people’s life.Toxin affecting the body may damage the cell tissues and thus lead to disease onset, even threat to the people’s life. Toxin is also one of the main causes for gene mutation and congenital immature development.
3. Congenital immature development.
Congenital immature development is also one of the important factor for the onset of Kidney Cysts. Congenital immature development can result in many diseases, such as Medullary Sponge Kidneys, Dysplastic Polycystic Kidneys and so on. It is different from genetic inheritance or gene mutations. Commonly, the gene in congenital immature is normal.
4. All kinds of infection

Infection can lead to internal environment occur abnormal change and thus create a environmental condition for cystic genic change. Bacterial infection, upper respiratory tract infection, urinary infection, skin infection, trauma infection and device infection, all these infections may make a big difference for cysts.

What is the Sign and Symptom for Kidney Cysts?

Most patients with Kidney Cysts have no symptoms and the physical examination also reveals normal. Occasionally a mass can be touched by percussion. If the cyst happened infection, the patients may have the pressing pain in rib and abdomen. Some patients may occur the following symptoms due to the pressure increasing or the infection in the cyst.
1. Discomfort or pain in the abdomen: the reason is because of kidney enlargement or dilation,which made the Kidney capsular tension increasing and kidney pedicle pulling or press the near organs. In addition, more cysts in kidney lead to kidney heavier due to the water contented in the kidney may also lead to waist pain. The feature of the pain is latent and dull in one side or both sides, radiating to lower part and back. If there is bleeding or secondary infection in the cysts may worsen the waist. The patients may occur renal colic If it is accompanying with stone or urinary obstruction by the blood clot after bleeding.
2. Hematuria: it can be manifested gross hematuria and microscopic hematuria with a periodic onset. The patient may have the serious pain when the disease is onset, and vigorous exercise, trauma and infection can induce hematuria or deteriorate it . The bleeding cause is because there are many arteries under the cyst wall and the pressure increasing or accompanying with infection made the blood vessels in the cyst wall broken resulted bleeding due to excessive pulling.
3. Mass in the abdomen: sometimes, it is the main reason for patients to see doctor. 60%-80% of the patients may touch enlarging kidneys. Commonly, the bigger the kidneys are, the worse the kidney function will be.
4. Proteinuria: commonly, the proteinuria volume is less than 2g per 24 hours, the patients may not occur Nephrotic Syndrome.
5. High blood pressure: due to cysts pressing kidney, it may lead to renal ischemia and renin secretion increasing, resulting in high blood pressure. When the kidney function is in normal, there are more than 50% of patients may have high blood pressure. When the kidney function is decreasing, the occurrence rate of high blood pressure will be much more

6. Kidney function decrease: the kidney function may have progressively decrease due to the cysts occupation, pressing, which makes the normal renal tissue reducing significantly.
