What Factors Will Lead to Lupus Nephritis?

Lupus Nephritis is a kind of serious kidney disease which not only affects body function, but also threat patients’ life. What factors will lead to Lupus Nephritis? The expert in Beijing Yumei Kidney Disease Hospital Dr. Liu Jing Duo gives us some explanation.

He said that the factors include:

1. Heredity: heredity plays a decisive role in Lupus Nephritis onset, and it is the most primary cause. Patients may have family history and relative has a high risk of occurrence.

2. Sex hormone: because this disease affects more female than male, and commonly occurring in lactation period, female hormone is related to Lupus Nephritis. About 50% female patients’ condition is worsening due to pregnancy.

3. Psychological Factors:Psychological stress can trigger the disease being active, and it is also a possible cause which is resulting in Lupus Nephritis. However, stress for individuals’ response is influenced by individual’s quality, personality and stressful life practice’ intense, persistence and frequency.

4. Environmental factors: 1. Infection; 2. Stimulating immune system.

5. Medicine and decayed food may also lead to Lupus Nephritis.

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.

What is the Natural Immune Balance Therapy?

What is the Natural Immune Balance Therapy?
Natural Immune Balance Therapy is using the original classic secret prescription of Kidney Recovery Series Preparation together with the advanced modern medical technology – biological germ cells regeneration to reinforce the kidneys, balance Yin and Yang and regulate the organic immunity bidirectionally, through activating the body’s natural repair ability to arouse the kidney regenerative cells and fundamentally to reverse the lesion tissues, regenerate the nephrons, to cure the kidney disease, eliminate proteinuria, blood urine, and lower the serum creatinine and urea nitrogen.

Natural Intervention, Balance Intervention and Immune Intervention

1.Natural Intervention

(1) Diet adjustment

(2) Life nursing

(3) Psychological counseling.

Its main forms are healthy diet publicity, psychological training, regular doctor-patient symposium, and proper activity (Kidney Protection Exercise is a set of exercises which is suitable to kidney patients’ recovery, created independently by Jing Dong Yu Mei Kidney Disease Hospital.). This exercise is based on the traditional Chinese medicine acupoint movement as the theory, focus on body and spirit. After many years’ promotion, it becomes the very popular and effective movement treatment of kidney disease patients.

2.Balance Intervention

(1) Characteristic Traditional Chinese Medicine, Chinese medicine formula prescription

(2) Immune balance liquid infusion.

(3) Internal illness, external treatment, Chinese medicine with external treatment, traditional Chinese medicine ions high colon treatment and so on.

3. Immune Intervention

(1) Use Traditional Chinese Medicine to regulate and rebuild the organic the immune system.

(2) Use Stem Cells treatment to repair the regenerative function and make the renal cells regenerating.

(3) Both treatment of traditional Chinese medicine immune regulation and Stem Cell promoted eac

The key of Natural Immune Balance Therapy fundamentally curing the kidney disease lies in the original natural immune balance triple therapy and Medical Longevity Psychology Treatment of Kidney Disease, which can make all nephritic cured patients and uncured patients lifelong health.

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

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 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?

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.

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.

Cells treatment for Chronic Kidney Failure

Cells treatment for Chronic Kidney Failure
Chronic Kidney Failure is a clinical syndrome composed by a series of kidney function damage symptoms and metabolic disorder. Once patients progress to chronic kidney failure, the only treatment method is kidney transplantation. However, kidney transplantation also has risks, such as rejection response and complications after transplantation. For patients with Diabetic Nephropathy, kidney transplantation will not be recommended in our hospital. Because the recurring rate for diabetic nephropathy is more higher than patients with other kidney diseases after transplantation, and the wound healing will take a long time. However, is there any better way to treat chronic kidney failure?

With the improvement of medical equipment and development of medical technology, cell treatment come to people’s view. The cell treatment is commonly stem cell treatment. Stem cell is a kind of original cell with the ability of self-replication and multiple differentiation potential. For the treatment of kidney disease, on one hand, stem cell can produce new glomerular capillary endothelial cell, visceral cell and repair glomerular basement membrane and filtration membrane, improve glomerular filtration function and increase glomerular filtration rate, which can improve the symptoms of abnormal urine, high blood pressure, swelling caused by glomerular disease. On the other hand, stem cell can differentiate into immune balance cells, such as Ts cells, Th cells to balance immune response and remove the factors for renal tubular damage, avoid the persistent damage for glomeruli and prevent its progression to kidney failure.


The stem cell treatment for kidney disease is from cell levels, through producing all kinds of renal cells to recover renal physiological function. Stem cell treatment for chronic kidney failure has an excellent effect. Comparing to kidney transplantation, without the requirement of match and operation,stem cell treatment has a better effect.

What is the cause of kidney failure?

The most common causes of kidney disease are diabetes and hypertension (high blood pressure). Studies have shown that diabetes causes around half of all cases of kidney failure, and high pressure causes just over a quarter of cases.
  Diabetes
  Diabetes is a condition where the body does not produce enough insulin (type 1 diabetes) or does not make effective use of it (type 2 diabetes). Our bodies need insulin because it breaks down the glucose (sugar) in our blood in order to produce carbohydrate which provides us with energy.
  If your diabetes is not well controlled, too much glucose (sugar) can build up in your blood. The glucose can then damage the nephrons (tiny filters), which in turn, affects the abilities of your kidneys to filter out waste products and fluids.
  Type 1 diabetes is more likely to lead to kidney disease. It is estimated that between 20-40% of people with type 1 diabetes will develop kidney disease by the age of 50.
  Kidney disease rarely occurs in the first 10 years of diabetes, and usually between 15-25 years will pass before kidney disease occurs. However, as treatment methods for diabetes improve, and diabetes can be better controlled, the number of people with diabetes who develop kidney disease is gradually falling.
  Hypertension
  Blood pressure is a measurement of how much pressure is required by your heart to pump the blood around your veins and arteries. Too much pressure can result in damage to your body's organs, and can lead to heart disease.
  The causes of 90% of cases of high blood pressure (hypertension) are unknown, but there appears to be a link between the condition and general health, diet and lifestyle
  Hypertension causes damage by putting strain on the small blood vessels in the kidneys. This prevents the filtering process from working properly.
  Other causes of kidney disease include:
  •glomerulonephritis (inflammation of the kidney),
  •pyelonephritis (infection in the kidney),
  •polycystic kidney disease (an inherited condition in which both kidneys are several times the normal size due to the gradual growth of masses of cysts),
  •failure of normal kidney development in an unborn baby while developing in the womb,
  •systemic lupus erythematosus (disease of the immune system where the body attacks the kidney as though it were foreign tissue),
  •malaria and yellow fever (tropical diseases spread by mosquitoes) ,
  •jaundice (a yellowing of the skin),
  •overuse of medicines, such as nonsteroid anti-inflammatory medicines (NSAIDs), the most well known of which are aspirin and ibuprofen, as well as illegal drugs, such as heroin and cocaine,
  •prolonged exposure to fuels, solvents and lead,
  •blockages - for example, due to kidney stones, and
  •a sharp blow or physical injury, to the kidney.
  If you have a chronic condition that can cause kidney disease, such as diabetes, it is important that you carefully manage your condition. Follow all the advice given to you by your GP and keep all appointments relating to your condition. People with diabetes are recommended to have their kidney function tested every year.
  Diet
  Diet plays an important role in preventing kidney disease. A healthy diet will lower your levels of cholesterol and keep your blood pressure at a healthy level. You should eat a balanced diet, including plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables (five portions a day) and whole grains.
  Exercise

  Regular exercise can help lower blood pressure and it can also help to prevent other chronic conditions, such as diabetes and heart disease. Thirty minutes of moderate exercise a day, at least five times a week, is recommended. The exercise should be vigorous enough that it leaves your heart beating faster and you should feel slightly out of breath. Examples of moderate exercise are going for a brisk walk, or walking up a hill.

How can you treat kidney failure?

The kidney is where the body derives it's power, energetically speaking. Many things cause kidney problemsbecause it is an elimination organ responsible for many functions in the body.
  Kidney failure in so many people is due to the nanobacteria that is NOT detectable by typical lab tests doctors use. You need to have him get a PCR lab test that is expensive and will show this bacteria. This bacteria enters the body from cooked food and when a person has low levels of stomach acid, the body cannot sanitize properly and the bacteria goes after the Kidney, pancreas, or arteries around the heart.
  There has to be a two step process to get rid of this bad guy and it can be done within a few weeks, but to ignore this possibility and rely on a bunch of drugs and surgery without trying this would seem foolish.
  The next thing is to look at his digestion and in particular, his stomach acid concentration. The pH of the stomach must be between 1.5 and 3.0 to properly sanitize and assist in the digestive process. Calcium, magnesium, and zinc can only be absorbed if this pH is in that range. The kidney plays a role in blood calcium levels and if inadequate calcium is being processed by the body, it can become toxic to the kidneys. If he has taken ANY antacids, this can contribute heavily to this problem because the antacids destroy the body's ability to digest food properly and create lots of toxins both the liver and kidneys have to deal with. The $50 billion dollars a year business for drug companies is just too much for them to stop promoting this insanity.
  If his liver is overburdened with toxins, it will throw them off to the kidneys and further exacerbate the problem. Eating high quantities of protein, especially red meat from cows fed GRAIN, heavy metal toxicity from typical dental work, especially amalgam fillings and root canals.
  Here's a good video to watch if you don't think amalgam fillings are bad for your body:
  Weak adrenal glands due to eating low salt diets, high carb, low fat, etc. will all contribute to the kidney problem.

  If it is possible, I would have him tested using QRA testing and determine the "root cause" of the problem. Additionally, I would take the herbs necessary to kill the nanobacteria and this may help considerably. Since it is a food base, there are no side effects. I would also NOT give him any calcium supplements and encourage him to take some greens to get the minerals into his body that I'm sure he is greatly lacking now.

What can cause acute kidney failure?

Kidney failure can occur from an acute situation or from chronic problems.
  In acute renal failure, kidney function is lost rapidly and can occur from a variety of insults to the body. The list of causes is often categorized based on where the injury has occurred.
  Prerenal causes (pre=before + renal=kidney) causes are due to decreased blood supply to the kidney. Examples of prerenal causes are:
  Hypovolemia (low blood volume) due to blood loss
  Dehydration from loss of body fluid (vomiting, diarrhea, sweating, fever )
  Poor intake of fluids
  Medication, for example, diuretics ("water pills") may cause excessive water loss.
  Loss of blood supply to the kidney due to obstruction of the renal artery or vein.
  Renal causes (damage directly to the kidney itself) include:
  Sepsis: The body's immune system is overwhelmed from infection and causes inflammation and shutdown of the kidneys. This usually does not occur with urinary tract infections.
  Medications: Some medications are toxic to the kidney, including nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen and naproxen. Others are antibiotics like aminoglycosides [gentamicin (Garamycin), tobramycin], lithium (Eskalith, Lithobid), iodine-containing medications such as those injected for radiology dye studies.
  Rhabdomyolysis: This is a situation in which there is significant muscle breakdown in the body, and the degeneration products of muscle fibers clog the filtering system of the kidneys. Often occurring because of trauma and crush injuries, it can also be caused by some medications used to treat high cholesterol.
  Multiple Myeloma
  Acute glomerulonephritis or inflammation of the glomeruli, the filtering system of the kidneys. Many diseases can cause this inflammation including systemic lupus erythematosus, Wegener's granulomatosis, and Goodpasture syndrome.
  Post renal causes (post=after + renal= kidney) are due to factors that affect outflow of the urine:
  Obstruction of the bladder or the ureters can cause back pressure when there is no place for the urine to go as the kidneys continue to work. When the pressure increases enough, the kidneys shut down.
  Prostatic hypertrophy or prostate cancer may block the urethra and prevents the bladder from emptying.
  Tumors in the abdomen that surround and obstruct the ureters.
  Kidney stones
  Chronic renal failure develops over months and years. The most common causes of chronic renal failure are related to:
  Poorly controlled diabetes
  Poorly controlled high blood pressure
  Chronic glomerulonephritis

  Less common causes:
