Chinese Medicine and Diabetes

Chinese medicine is Five Thousand years.At same time , diabetes is a common disease. Chinese medicine is a good treatment method. It have usefull for diabetes.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) refers to a broad range of medicine practices sharing common theoretical concepts which have been developed in China and are based on a tradition of more than 2,000 years, including various forms of herbal medicine, acupuncture, massage (Tui na), exercise (qigong), and dietary therapy.These practices are a common part of medical care throughout East Asia, but are considered alternative medicine in the Western world.
The doctrines of Chinese medicine are rooted in books such as the Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon and the Treatise on Cold Damage, as well as in cosmological notions like yin-yang and the Five Phases. Starting in the 1950s, these precepts were modernized in the People's Republic of China so as to integrate many anatomical and pathological notions from scientific medicine. Nonetheless, many of its assumptions, including the model of the body, or concept of disease, are not supported by modern evidence-based medicine.
TCM's view of the body places little emphasis on anatomical structures, but is mainly concerned with the identification of functional entities (which regulate digestion, breathing, aging etc.). While health is perceived as harmonious interaction of these entities and the outside world, disease is interpreted as a disharmony in interaction. TCM diagnosis consists in tracing symptoms to an underlying disharmony pattern, mainly by palpating the pulse and inspecting the tongue.
Diabetes mellitus, often simply referred to as diabetes, is a group of metabolic diseases in which a person has high blood sugar, either because the body does not produce enough insulin, or because cells do not respond to the insulin that is produced. This high blood sugar produces the classical symptoms of polyuria (frequent urination), polydipsia (increased thirst) and polyphagia (increased hunger).
There are three main types of diabetes:
Type 1 diabetes: results from the body's failure to produce insulin, and presently requires the person to inject insulin. (Also referred to as insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, IDDM for short, and juvenile diabetes.)
Type 2 diabetes: results from insulin resistance, a condition in which cells fail to use insulin properly, sometimes combined with an absolute insulin deficiency. (Formerly referred to as non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, NIDDM for short, and adult-onset diabetes.)
but Chinese Medicine on Treating Diabetes
First, we need to correct the high blood sugar, hyperlipidemia and other metabolic disturbance so as to promote the normal metabolism of sugar, protein and fat.
Second, we need to relieve the symptoms that caused by the metabolic disturbance of blood sugar.
Third, we need to prevent the diabetic ketoacidosis and other acute complications.
Gestational diabetes: is when pregnant women, who have never had diabetes before, have a high blood glucose level during pregnancy. It may precede development of type 2 DM.
Forth, for the obesity patients, they should lose weight positively and keep the normal weight. And for the pregnant patients, we should make sure the safe delivery.
Chinese Medicine on Treating Diabetes

nephrotic syndrome and high blood pressure

The kidney performs several vital functions. It filters blood, removes waste products from the body, balances the body's fluids, and releases hormones that regulate blood pressure. A number of diseases and conditions can damage the kidney's filtration apparatus, such as diabetes and immune disorders. This damage leads to a condition called nephrotic syndrome, which is characterized by protein in the urine, high cholesterol and triglycerides, and swelling (edema). People with nephrotic syndrome retain salt and water in their bodies and develop swelling and high blood pressure as a result.
Scientists have now begun to understand kidney damage on a cellular level and how the activity of certain molecules in damaged kidneys contributes to salt and water retention in nephrotic syndrome. Several new insights in this area of research will be presented at the7th International Symposium on Aldosterone and the ENaC/Degenerin Family of Ion Channels, being held September 18-22 in Pacific Grove, Calif. The meeting is sponsored by the American Physiological Society.
Faulty Filtration
The kidneys are marvels of filtration, processing roughly 150 to 200 quarts of blood each day through tiny structures called nephrons. There are about 1 million nephrons per kidney, and each nephron consists of a filtering unit of blood vessels called a glomerulus, which is attached to a tubule. Filtered blood enters the tubule, where various substances are either added to or removed from the filtrate as necessary, and most of the filtered sodium and water is removed. The filtrate that exits the tubule is excreted as urine.
But How to Control Neptrotic Syndrome with High Blood Pressure.
How to control Neptrotic Syndrome with high blood pressure? This is really a question which confused many patients with Neptrotic Syndrome together with High Blood Pressure. Is it serious? No. High blood pressure is a complication of Neptrotic Syndrome. And as long as we control and treat Neptrotic Syndrome well, High Blood Pressure will diminish gradually. Or else, High Blood Pressure can also influence Neptrotic Syndrome, and worsen Neptrotic Syndrome. So effective measures must be taken to control Neptrotic Syndrome with High Blood Pressure.
So how to control Neptrotic Syndrome with High Blood Pressure? Micro-Chinese Medicine osmotherapy  can treat Neptrotic Syndrome fundamentally.
Firstly, Micro-Chinese Medicine osmotherapy can diminish protein in urine from root. The leak out of protein is due to the damage of renal glomerular filtration membrane. The active and nutritious substances in Micro-Chinese Medicine can supply nutrition to those damaged intrinsic cells and make them function well.
Secondly, after glomerular filtration membrane is repaired, protein will not leak out so that proteinuria will be controlled. As we know, the lost of protein leads to hypoproteinemia. So after the leak out of protein is improved, hypoproteinemia will also improve consequently.
Thirdly, other two symptoms edema and hyperlipemia will accordingly decrease as well.
How about the treatment to high blood pressure? As we point out, high blood pressure is the complication of Neptrotic Syndrome. After Neptrotic Syndrome is recovered, high blood pressure will decline as a result. If blood pressure is too high, which even threat people’s life and influence the treatment, patients with Neptrotic Syndrome can take some hypotensor so as to guarantee the therapeutic effect.

Christmas Day and Nephrotic Syndrome patient

Christmas or Christmas Day is an annual commemoration of the birth of Jesus Christ, celebrated generally on December 25 as a religious and cultural holiday by billions of people around the world. A feast central to the Christian liturgical year, it closes the Advent season and initiates the twelve days of Christmastide.Christmas is a civil holiday in many of the world's nations, is celebrated by an increasing number of non-Christians, and is an integral part of the Christmas and holiday season.
Many of the popular celebratory customs associated in various countries with Christmas have pre-Christian or secular themes and origins. Popular modern customs of the holiday include gift giving, Christmas music and caroling, an exchange of Christmas cards, church celebrations, a special meal, and the display of various decorations, including Christmas trees, lights, nativity scenes, garlands, wreaths, mistletoe, and holly. In addition, several closely related and often interchangeable figures, known as Santa Claus, Father Christmas, Saint Nicholas and Kris Kringle among other names, are associated with bringing gifts to children during the Christmas season and have their own body of traditions and lore. Because gift-giving and many other aspects of the Christmas festival involve heightened economic activity among both Christians and non-Christians, the holiday has become a significant event and a key sales period for retailers and businesses. The economic impact of Christmas is a factor that has grown steadily over the past few centuries in many regions of the world.
What do people do on Christmas Day?
People celebrate Christmas Day in many ways. In the days or even weeks before Christmas Day, many people decorate their homes and gardens with lights, Christmas trees and much more. It is common to organize a special meal, often consisting of turkey and a lot of other festive foods, for family or friends and exchange gifts with them. Children, in particular, often receive a lot of gifts from their parents and other relatives and the mythical figure Santa Claus. This has led to Christmas Day becoming an increasingly commercialized holiday, with a lot of families spending a large part of their income on gifts and food.
Many Sunday schools, churches and communities organize special events. These can include decorating the neighborhood or a shopping mall, putting up a Christmas tree and planning a Nativity display, concert or performance. A lot of plays and songs have a aspect of Christmas as a theme. Some groups arrange meals, shelter or charitable projects for people without a home or with very little money.
But How to Celebrate Christmas Day for Patients with Nephrotic Syndrome?
Firstly, Patients with Nephrotic Syndrome should avoid getting tired or cold.So patients with Nephrotic Syndrome had better choose transportantion, such as air plane, which is faster than train and bus.
Next, when patients with Nephrotic Syndrome arrive home, they must go to supermaChristmas Day is a national holiday. So people all over a country will have more than half month’s rest. No matter how far they work from home, they will go home. rket and choose what they like to cook. Remember the principle patients with Nephrotic Syndrome should follow. They should still continue to keep low salt diet. Patients with Nephrotic Syndrome have had serious edema, if they take in much food rich in salt, the salt will increase the retention of water in the body, which worsens edema, and makes they have more difficulty in getting rid of suffering from Nephrotic Syndrome.
Then, patients with Nephrotic Syndrome must have enough rest after they arrive home.

But Diabetics:Take Care While Celebrating Christmas Day.
However, for diabetics, due to their own specific illness condition, there are some aspects that should be paid enough attention to so as to pass a happy and safe holiday. A lifelong disease as Diabetes is, diet controlling, proper medications and prevention of over fatigue should be obeyed at any time. While looking forward and preparing for the Christmas Day, Diabetics should take enough care of themselves. Some tips are shown as follows in the hope of helping you control your diabetes better.
First, select your foods carefully.
Second, keep in positive mood
Third, avoid staying up at night and over fatigue
Conclusion:
Actually, for diabetics, what's dangerous is not diabetes itself, but the potential diabetic complications in overall blood vessels, such as diabetic foot, diabetic retinopathy, diabetic nephropathy, coronary diseases and brain accident. Sometimes, the early signs of certain complications are really hard to be detected, such as blurred vision, shivering and tinging(a symptoms of diabetic neuropathy), proteinuria(symptom of kidney disease), skin itching, etc. In this way, patients usually miss the opportunity to reverse the disease and prevent the disease getting severer.
Controlling high blood sugar from all aspects(including proper diet, medications and exercise) and keeping alert of all the complications should be always attached importance to for diabetics.

An Introduction of Uremia

The function of kidney screens out harmful ingredients in blood; at the same time, stays the useful ingredients, such as cells ingredients, fat and protein. Under the situation of renal failure, the harmful ingredients in blood can not be ejected from body, thus damages the body issue and organ. This is uremia.
It is known that uremia is the final stage of renal failure and also a chronic difficulty and complicated case. All kinds of kidney disease will change to uremia sooner or later if not controlled in time. Chronic renal nephritis has not been effectively controlled; it may start renal fibrosis, and if the course of renal fibrosis has not been blocked, renal will lose it function gradually. Therefore uremia is the final appearance of renal fibrosis. Blocking the course of renal fibrosis is the initiative to prevent or to cure uremia.
When normal nephrons are less than 10% there will be serious metabolic acidosis, and a series of symptoms appear in heart, brain, or other parts. This is end stage renal failure, namely uremic stage. This period is called late stromatic prosphase. In this period, nephrons are all in hardening time, and all cells are in hardening procedure. This period is also called stromatic independent prosphase. The synthetic and hyperplasia of extracellular matrix are both autonomic, not depend on external factors.
General public know it is because the worse of kidney disease. But the exact reason is renal fibrosis. Tessence of chronic kidney disease changing to renal failure or uremia is the loss of effective nephrons and the progressive decline of renal function. There is a direct, inevitable relationship between renal failure, uremia and renal fibrosis. Accurately speaking, the course of renal failure and uremia is the progressive course of renal fibrosis. More, renal failure and uremia are both functional expressions when the renal fibrosis is at a proportion of 50% or higher. So blocking the course of renal fibrosis is very important, especially for controlling the development of the illness condition and preventing kidney disease change to uremia.

The different types of polycystic kidney disease(PKD)

The different types of polycystic kidney disease(PKD)

There are two primary inherited forms of PKD and one non-inherited form:

1. Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (inherited)

The most common inherited form of polycystic kidney disease is autosomal dominant PKD(inherited), accounting for about 90 percent of all PKD cases. "Autosomal dominant" means that if one parent has the disease, there is a 50 percent chance that the disease will pass to a child, and that both males and females are equally affected.

Usually, at least one parent must have the disease for a child to inherit it. In 10 percent of cases, there may be no family history of PKD. These cases are new mutations in a family. In very few cases, autosomal dominant PKD occurs spontaneously after conception. Parents would not be at increased risk to have additional children with PKD. But individuals with PKD have a 50/50 chance of passing the gene on to their children.

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease is often called the adult polycystic kidney disease. Symptoms usually develop between the ages of 30 and 40 (but they can begin as early as childhood), and may include the following:

abdominal pain

detectable abdominal mass

pale color to skin

bruise easily

high blood pressure

kidney stones

aneurysms (bulging of the walls of blood vessels) in the brain

diverticulosis (pouches in the intestines)

urinary tract infections

hematuria (blood in the urine)

liver and pancreatic cysts

abnormal heart valves

Autosomal dominant PKD may occur with other conditions including:

tuberous sclerosis - a genetic syndrome involving seizures, mental retardation, benign tumors, and skin lesions

liver disease

severe eye problems (cataracts or blindness)

The symptoms of autosomal dominant PKD may resemble other conditions or medical problems. Always consult your child's physician for a diagnosis.

Diagnosis of autosomal dominant PKD may include the use of imaging techniques to detect cysts on the kidney and other organs and a review of the family history of autosomal dominant PKD. There are three different dominant genes which have been identified that further subdivide autosomal dominant PKD into PKD1, PKD2, and PKD3.

A physician will establish a treatment protocol for autosomal dominant PKD only after careful consideration of the child's symptoms and medical history. Treatment may include:

pain medication

surgery to shrink cysts and relieve pain

treatment for high blood pressure

treatment for urinary tract infections

dialysis

kidney transplantation

2. Autosomal recessive PKD (inherited)

Autosomal recessive PKD is a rare, inherited form of polycystic kidney disease thought to be caused by a particular genetic flaw that is different from the genetic flaw that causes autosomal dominant PKD. Parents who do not have the disease can have a child with the disease, if both parents carry the abnormal gene and both pass the gene to their child. Carrier parents have a 25 percent chance with each pregnancy to have a child with this type of PKD. Males and females are equally affected. Autosomal recessive PKD is sometimes detected prenatally (before birth) using a fetal ultrasound.

Symptoms of autosomal recessive PKD can begin before birth. In most cases, the earlier the onset, the more severe the outcome. There are four different types of autosomal recessive PKD, depending upon the child's age when symptoms become evident:

perinatal form - present at birth

neonatal form - presents within the first month of life

infantile form - presents between 3 and 6 months of age

juvenile form - presents after 1 year of age

Children born with autosomal recessive PKD may develop kidney failure within a few years and often experience the following:

high blood pressure

urinary tract infections

frequent urination

The disease also usually affects the liver, spleen, and pancreas, resulting in low blood cell counts, varicose veins, and hemorrhoids.

The symptoms of autosomal recessive PKD may resemble other conditions or medical problems. Always consult your child's physician for a diagnosis.

Diagnosis often includes ultrasound imaging of the fetus or newborn to reveal cysts in the kidneys. Ultrasound examination of kidneys of relatives may also be helpful.

Your child's physician will establish a treatment protocol for autosomal recessive PKD only after careful consideration of the child's symptoms and medical profile. Treatment may include:

treatment for high blood pressure

treatment for urinary tract infections

hormonal therapy

dialysis

kidney transplantation

3.Acquired cystic kidney disease, or ACKD (non-inherited)

Acquired cystic kidney disease (ACKD) may develop in association with long-term kidney problems, especially in persons who have kidney failure and who have been on dialysis for a long time. Therefore, it tends to occur later in life and is an acquired, not inherited, form of PKD.

The Symptoms of Chronic Nephritis

What are the symptoms of chronic nephritis? Chronic nephritis is a disease that comes on slowly. Chronic nephritis is mostly caused by some other diseases that are not treated in time. What are the symptoms of the chronic nephritis in clinical? They are mainly edema, hypertension, and urinary abnormalities. For the main clinical symptoms of chronic nephritis are mainly edema, hypertension and urinary abnormalities, all three can appear simultaneously or they can appear single or alternately. Detailed analysis is as follows:

The symptoms of chronic nephritis with hypertension:

Chronic nephritis patient is generally moderate hypertension, systolic pressure is at about 20 ~ 22.7kPa and diastolic pressure is at about 12.7 ~ 14kPa. Blood pressure can be effectively controlled, by taking diuretics and β-blockers such as propranolol,

The symptoms of edema in chronic nephritis:

Edema site often appears in the eyelids, face and legs, and usually is mild to moderate edema. When the chronic nephritis hasn’t caused uremia, it is rare to appear the symptoms of pleural effusion, ascites and so on.

The symptoms of chronic nephritis with urine abnormalities:

Moderate proteinuria: the certain quantity urine protein is about 2g /24-hour and is often non-selective proteinuria.

Gross hematuria or microscopic hematuria in urine is one of changing situation of chronic nephritis’ urine. Using phase contrast microscope to examine, more than 90% is the deformation of red cell hematuria and a small number of red cell is a homogeneous type of hematuria. Except for proteinuri and hematuria, there are still abnomalties of tube urine, urine volume changes, specific gravity and uosm urine osmotic pressure.

After understanding of the clinical symptoms of chronic nephritis, we have a look at why the chronic nephritis has stubborn sustained hypertension?

The symptoms of chronic nephritis - the reasons for high blood pressure

Possible reasons for the high blood pressure:

(1), when kidney has a disease, renal parenchyma is destructed. Renal anti-pressor substance is decreased. Some people think that renal hypertension may be associated with the decrease of renal anti-pressor substance formed by kidney. So we can make use of prostaglandin to treat hypertension, because prostate have a strong effects to bring high blood pressure down and improve renal blood flow volume.

2) When renal is ischemia, the rennin in blood is increased. Small artery spasm becomes serious and lead to persistent hypertension. At the same time, aldosterone’s secretion increase, which makes water-sodium retention and blood volume increase, so, the blood pressure will be further elevated.

(3) Systemic small artery spasm sclerosis: kidney with longer duration of hypertension may appear small systemic atherosclerosis and small artery resistance increased, to promote increase of blood pressure.

Do You Know What Kidney Stones Is

Have you ever heard that a person is done with kidney stone? Do you know what kidney stone is and the clinical features of it? Next is an introduction of it. We hope that it may help you. Kidney stones are a solid mass which develops from crystals that separate from urine. The stones build up on the inner surfaces of the kidney. Urine usually contains chemicals that prevent stones from forming, but sometimes these do not work and the stones appear. If the stones are tiny enough, they will travel through the body with urine and pass undetected.

Kidney stones usually contain chemicals such as calcium, which combines with other chemicals such as phosphate or oxalate. The chemicals come from a person's dietary intake and are required to maintain healthy muscles and bones. A rarer form of kidney stone is called a struvite; this is caused by an infection in the urinary tract. The medical term used to describe stones which appear in the urinary tract is urolithiasis.

Doctors are unsure of the exact reason kidney stones appear. Although ingestion of certain foods contributes to kidney stones, it is not believed that any specific food is attributable. If there is a family history of kidney stones, you may be more likely to develop this complaint. There is also a rare hereditary disease called renal tubular acidosis. People with this disease are much more likely to develop kidney stones.

Now, do you know what kidney stone is? If you are still unclear, please contact us. We will give you a more detailed answer.

The Two Signs of Kidney Stone

A kidney stone, also known as a renal calculus (from the Latin ren, "kidney" and calculus, "pebble") is a solid concretion or crystal aggregation formed in the kidneys from dietary minerals in the urine. Urinary stones are typically classified by their location in the kidney (nephrolithiasis), ureter (ureterolithiasis), or bladder (cystolithiasis), or by their chemical composition (calcium-containing, struvite, uric acid, or other compounds). Kidney stones are a significant source of morbidity. 80% of those with kidney stones are men. Men most commonly experience their first episode between age 30–40 years, while for women the age at first presentation is somewhat later.

Kidney stones typically leave the body by passage in the urine stream, and many stones are formed and passed without causing symptoms. If stones grow to sufficient size (usually at least 3 millimeters (0.12 in)) they can cause obstruction of the ureter. Ureteral obstruction causes postrenal azotemia and hydronephrosis (distension and dilation of the renal pelvis and calyces), as well as spasm of the ureter. This leads to pain, most commonly felt in the flank (the area between the ribs and hip), lower abdomen and groin (a condition called renal colic). Renal colic can be associated with nausea, vomiting, fever, blood in the urine, pus in the urine, and painful urination. Renal colic typically comes in waves lasting 20 – 60 minutes, beginning in the flank or lower back and often radiating to the groin or genitals. The diagnosis of kidney stones is made on the basis of information obtained from the history, physical examination, urinalysis, and radiographic studies. Ultrasound examination and blood tests may also aid in the diagnosis.

The Two Signs of Kidney Stone

The first sign that you have developed kidney stones will be extreme pain. This occurs when a stone blocks the flow of urine. You will feel a cramping or sharp pain in the kidney area. You may also suffer from vomiting, nausea and pain in the groin area. You may feel the need to urinate more often and a burning sensation may occur when you do.

As the kidney stones move or grow larger, blood may appear in the urine. If you suffer from chills and fever along with the aforementioned symptoms, this is a sign of an infection and a doctor should be called. The doctor will take an x-ray or sonogram. He may also take a computed tomography scan of the urinary system. These tests will help the doctor make a proper diagnosis.

Since the clinical cases are always more complex than theories, so for an accurate syndrome identification and effective treatment to you, please let us evaluate your personnel conditions by email us.

Attention Notes for the Lupus Erythematosus Patients

Lupus erythematosus is a category for a collection of diseases with similar underlying problems with immunity (autoimmune disease). Symptoms of these diseases can affect many different body systems, including joints, skin, kidneys, blood cells, heart, and lungs. Four main types of lupus exist — systemic lupus erythematosus, discoid lupus erythematosus, drug-induced lupus erythematosus, and neonatal lupus erythematosus. Of these, systemic lupus erythematosus is the most common and serious form of lupus.
Attention Notes for the lupus erythematosus patients
In spring, the bacterial virus is active, and people would like to go out, people contact with each other becomes more frequently, in this way the possibilities of getting infection is increased, the disease-resistant ability of lupus erythematosus patient is relatively weak and easy to catch a cold or get infected by other diseases, all these factors can bring out the lupus erythematosus or make lupus erythematosus worse.
In addition, spring is a time for traveling, some patients get relapse because of too much travel than they should. So these patients should be careful of avoid catching cold and getting tired.
Spring is a time of blossom of flowers, so much of pollen is gave out by flowers, this also can make patient with lupus erythematosus allergic.
It is so hot in summer, strong sunshine, patients with lupus erythematosus can not be exposed to the sun, so they should prepare them the equipment of sunshade, such as: UV-STOP umbrella , sunbonnet, clothes with long sleeve or longuette. The weather can be sultry in summer, it is forbidden for these patients to drink cold water to avoid disorder inside the body.
In autumn, the long-wave ultraviolet from the sun can hurt the skin if the patients get directly irradiated, the erythema may occur. In addition, the dry weather in autumn may hurt the respiraroty tract, the patients with lupus erythematosus or dental ulcer should be careful of relapse.
In winter, the cold weather may directly stimulate the skin may lead to vasospasm of epidermis blood capillary and bad peripheral circulation, then the chilblain erythema may occur in face, auricle, or finger tip, makes the Raynaud'sphenomenon even worse. The cold may stimulate more requirement of hormone, so the insufficient original quondam may worsen the patient’s condition. These patients should choose the neutral skin care products to avoid allergy of the skin caused by acid-base stimulation.

An Introductin of Childhood Nephropathy

Nephropathy is a condition that affects the kidneys. It requires special attention. Most children with nephropathy make a full recovery within a few weeks. This leaflet has been prepared to help children and their families understand what happens to a child who has nephropathy.
When your child first develops nephropathy they will need some blood and urine tests. These are done to see how well the kidneys are working and to look for the cause of the kidney inflammation. Over the first few days they will need further blood tests to monitor their progress.
We will need to monitor how much urine is passed during the day, and how much your child drinks.
Usually the tests and monitoring are carried out in hospital. Only if your child has unusual features for their nephropathy will we consider a renal biopsy. The kidney specialist will discuss this with you and give you more information.
Nephrotic syndrome is a set of signs or symptoms that may point to kidney problems. Both children and adults can have nephrotic syndrome. The causes of and treatments for nephrotic syndrome in children are sometimes different from the causes and treatments in adults. Childhood nephrotic syndrome can occur at any age but is most common between the ages of 1.5 and 5 years. It seems to affect boys more often than girls. A child with nephrotic syndrome has these signs: high levels of protein in the urine, a condition called proteinuria, low levels of protein in the blood, swelling resulting from buildup of salt and water, less frequent urination, weight gain from excess water. Nephrotic syndrome is not itself a disease. But it can be the first sign of a disease that damages the kidney’s tiny blood-filtering units, called glomeruli, where urine is made.
Points to Remember
* Nephrotic syndrome is a set of signs or symptoms that may point to kidney problems.
* Childhood nephrotic syndrome is most common between the ages of 1.5 and 5 years.
* Nephrotic syndrome causes proteinuria, low levels of protein in the blood, less frequent urination, and swelling and weight gain from the buildup of fluid.
* Diagnosis of nephrotic syndrome requires urine and blood samples and may include a kidney biopsy.
* Most cases of childhood nephrotic syndrome result from minimal change disease.
* The two most common diseases that damage the kidneys’ tiny blood-filtering units and cause nephrotic syndrome are focal segmental glomerulosclerosis and membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis.
* Congenital nephropathy is a rare condition that causes nephrotic syndrome in newborns.

Diet for Renal Failure Patients

Renal failure or kidney failure (formerly called renal insufficiency) describes a medical condition in which the kidneys fail to adequately filter toxins and waste products from the blood. The two forms are acute (acute kidney injury) and chronic (chronic kidney disease); a number of other diseases or health problems may cause either form of renal failure to occur.
Renal failure is described as a decrease in glomerular filtration rate. Biochemically, renal failure is typically detected by an elevated serum creatinine level. Problems frequently encountered in kidney malfunction include abnormal fluid levels in the body, deranged acid levels, abnormal levels of potassium, calcium, phosphate, and (in the longer term) anemia as well as delayed healing in broken bones. Depending on the cause, hematuria (blood loss in the urine) and proteinuria (protein loss in the urine) may occur. Long-term kidney problems have significant repercussions on other diseases, such as cardiovascular disease.
What are Diet for Renal Failure Patients?
● Limited intake of salt.
● Limited intake of water
● Limited intake of protein
● Limited intake of sodium
● Limited intake of phosphorus
It’s necessary to pay attention to the diet. But only controlling the diet cannot repair the damaged kidney tissues. So it’s important to adopt positive and systemic therapy to treat and to control the disease.
Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital, after many years’ researching, puts forward the combination of the three advanced technology: Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy,  Immunotherapy   and Intervention, which creates new possibility for treating kidney disease. The combination of the three characteristic technologies highlights five functions for the treatment: blocking, adsorption, purification, repair and rebuilding. The close combination of Chinese and Western medicine can ensure our timely and effective therapy. The effective combination of the four technologies ensures the implementation of the three-dimensional treatment with multi-direction, multi-target point, multi-channel and multi-system.

How to Prevent Hypertensive Nephropathy by Diet .

Hypertensive nephropathy (or "hypertensive nephrosclerosis", or "Hypertensive renal disease") is a medical condition referring to damage to the kidney due to chronic high blood pressure.It should be distinguished from "renovascular hypertension" (I15.0), which is a form of secondary hypertension.In the kidneys, as a result of benign arterial hypertension, hyaline (pink, amorphous, homogeneous material) accumulates in the wall of small arteries and arterioles, producing the thickening of their walls and the narrowing of the lumina — hyalinearteriolosclerosis. Consequent ischemia will produce tubular atrophy, interstitial fibrosis, glomerular alterations (smallerglomeruli with different degrees of hyalinization - from mild to sclerosis of glomeruli) and periglomerular fibrosis. In advanced stages, renal failure will occur. Functional nephrons have dilated tubules, often with hyaline casts in the lumens. Additional complications often associated with hypertensive nephropathy include glomerular damage resulting in proteinuria and hematuria.

There are some measures available to prevent this disease, or to manage the kidney damages early to improve the quality of life for patients with Hypertensive Nephropathy. It is necessary to visit a nephrologist to get the most current and effective therapeutic schedule. However, apart from the medical treatment, this disease can also be prevented by diet. And the following are several dietary tips for preventing this disease.
1. Low-salt diet
A delicate diet is appropriate for patients with Hypertensive Nephropathy. And high-salt diet should be limited, for too much salt intake will cause vascular sclerosis and the increase of blood pressure. For patients with Hypertension, just limiting the salt intake can make their blood pressure return to normal; and for those who have moderate or severe Hypertension, limiting the salt intake not only can enhance the curative effect of hypotensor, but also can decrease the patients' need of hypotensor, thus decreasing the side effects of the medicines greatly.
In addition, patients should also pay attention to the invisible salts such as
· monosodium glutamate, soy sauce, ketchup and mustard
· pickles
· cooked food such as sausage, pork luncheon meat, spiced beef and roast chicken

2. Patients with Hypertensive Nephropathy should eat LESS sweet food, for sweet food is high in sugars which will transform into fat and cause arteriosclerosis easily.
3. Fat foods should also be limited, for fat foods are rich in cholesterol which will accelerate the arteriosclerosis.
4. Patients with Hypertensive Nephropathy should get rid of smoking and had better drink less wine, for too much smoking and drinking will cause damages to our heart and kidneys.
5. High-potassium foods are recommended for patients whose renal function is normal, for in our human body potassium can buffer the effect of sodium. And the commonly seen high-potassium foods are soybean, tomatoes, celery, fresh mushroom and various green vegetables, and the fruits mainly are oranges, apples, bananas, pears, kiwis, pineapples and watermelons.
6. It is appropriate for patients to eat more foods which are rich in high-quality protein and vitamins, such as fishes, milk, eggs and lean meat.
7. Patients with Hypertensive Nephropathy should also eat more high-calcium foods, for high-calcium foods are conducive to lower the blood pressure. And the commonly foods are dairy products, sesame paste, dried small shrimps, kelp, black fungus, walnuts, sardines and eggs.
The aforementioned tips are only a partial listing of suggestions for patients with Hypertension or Hypertensive Nephropathy. Your needs may vary depending on your kidney function. For help creating a meal plan that meets your needs, consult your doctor.

How should we Prevent and Treat Diabetic Nephropathy

Diabetic nephropathy also known as Kimmelstiel-Wilson syndrome, or nodular diabetic glomerulosclerosis and intercapillary glomerulonephritis, is a progressive kidney disease caused by angiopathy ofcapillaries in the kidney glomeruli. It is characterized by nephrotic syndrome and diffuse glomerulosclerosis. It is due to longstanding diabetes mellitus, and is a prime indication for dialysis in many Western countries.
Therefore, how to prevent and treat Diabetic Nephropathy is of significant importance for patients withDiabetes. In order to prevent or prolong the progression of Diabetic Nephropathy, what should we do?
The key point of preventing Diabetic Nephropathy is receiving effective treatment as early as possible so as to make the blood sugar level under control. Once Diabetic Nephropathy occurs, the therapeutic schedule should be made according to the patients' condition in different stages.
In stage 1 Diabetic Nephropathy
In this stage, the key point of the treatment should target at controlling the blood sugar. If the blood sugar can be controlled well, the kidney lesion mainly shows the increase of the glomerular filtration rate, which can be reduced to normal level.
In stage 2~3 Diabetic Nephropathy
In these two stages, apart from controlling the blood sugar continuously, the patients should also adopt angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor(ACEI) or angiotensin receptor blockers(ARB) timely, no matter whether they have Hypertension. If they do have Hypertension, they should also adopt other antihypertensive drugs at the same time so as to lower the blood pressure.
Stage 1~3 is the best time for treating Diabetic Nephropathy, for in the three stages, the kidney damages can be reversed.
In stage 4~5 Diabetic Nephropathy
In these two stages, besides treating Diabetes, the treatment can only target at the symptoms, including lowering the blood pressure, promoting the urination, removing the edema and regulating the blood lipid. Once End-Stage Renal Failure occurs, renal replacement therapy such as dialysis, kidney transplant, or Stem Cell Transplant should be adopted.

Clinical Types of IgA Nephropathy

Many patients with IgA Nephropathy may doubt how many types of this disease there are and which type they belong to. This article mainly focuses on solving this problem for the patients.
Type I: Gross hematuria
This type usually occurs secondary to mucomembranous diseases like upper respiratory tract infection, cold, overstrain, prophylactic immunization, pneumonia or enteritis. The urine is usually brown or seems like water where flesh is washed and blood clot is rarely seen. The immune latent period is the shortest, and it will remit spontaneously after lasting for several hours to one week. Those with repeated gross hematuria have a good prognosis while those with one isolated gross hematuria have a poor prognosis because they are usually accompanied with Nephrotic Syndrome and Hypertnesion and even acute oliguria or Acute Renal Failure which is probably related to blocking of the renal tubules by erythrocyte cast or necrosis of tubules.
Type II: Abnormal urinalysis
Onset of this type is latent. It can be divided into two types according to whether it is combined with hematuria.
A. Only persistent microscopic hematuria without proteinuria or hypertension. The cases are mainly mesangial proliferative changes, and renal interstitium and vascular lesions are not obvious.
B. Persistent microscopic hematuria with slight proteinuria. This type is more common and protein quantitation is less than 1.0g/d, without hypertension or hypofunction of the intrinsic cells. Pathological changes of this type vary greatly from mesangial proliferative changes to sclerosis of glomerular intrinsic cells, as well as interstitial lesions.
Type III: Massive proteinuria (Nephrotic Syndrome)
Protein quantitation is more than 2.0g/d and it is one of the factors that lead to a poor prognosis of IgA Nephropathy. This type often occurs in cases with severe glomerular changes and it usually shows focal segmental glomerulosclerosis with foot cell damage and fairly wide tubule-interstitial damage or crescents formation. If it is presented as sudden persistent proteinuria without gross hematuria and hypertension history, it can be further divided into two types.
A: Typical “three highs and one low” Nephrotic syndrome, with its pathological changes dominated by slight mesangial proliferation and usually without sclerosis of the intrinsic cells or obvious interstitial change.
B: massive proteinuria and unobvious swelling, usually with increased nocturia, which is clinically called “dry nephrosis”. The pathological changes are: extensive sclerosis of the glomerular intrinsic cells in renal tissues, interstitial fibrosis, protracted course of disease and poor prognosis.
Type IV: Acute Renal Failure
The features are acute onset, rapid progress and poor prognosis. It can be further divided into two types:
A: large amount of crescents formation and vasculitis-like changes ANCA (+).
B: during gross hematuria, large amounts of erythrocyte cast block the renal tubules, making it easy for the patients who are receiving anticoagulant treatment to have large amount of erythrocyte cast.
Type V: Chronic Renal Insufficiency (End-stage)
At the early stage of this type, renal tissues are often at the stage of “inflammatory reaction period” of the fibrosis. Functions of the renal intrinsic cells especially the “filtratin function” is in a high filtration and compensative state and there is no decrease of GFR. Along with development of the renal fibrosis, mesnagial cells gradually appear apoptosis and necrosis and are rapidly replaced by ECM (Extracellular Matrixes). There is also progressive decline and rapid deterioration of the cellular functions, which is followed by a series of Uremia symptoms. SCR (serum creatinine) >442, GFR<15ml/min. B-ultrasonic test shows atropy of both kidneys and thinning of cortex which becomes more sensitive to light. Gradually the disease enters scar formation period.
Certain period after damage of the mesangial cells, Acute Renal Failure will occur in 5% of patients, chronic renal damage in 10% of patients and 50% to 70% of the patients will develop Uremia after 20 years.
Type VI: Hypertension
Pathological features of this type: pathological changes will occur when endothelial cells are involved by mesangial cells lesions, manifested as functional disorder of endothelial cells which will cause more release of vasoconstrictive agents. Besides hematuria, clinical manifestations may also include hypertension especially in the elderly. This is an important sign of deteriorating progression of mesaangial cell diseases, which must be treated with hypotensive drugs to control the symptoms.
Pathological changes show much discarding changes like focal or global sclerosis of the glomeruli and extensive interstitial fibrosis.

High Creatinine in Dialysis Patient

“I am on dialysis, but why do I still have high creatinine level?” Many patients undergoing dialysis have this kind of doubt. Here we will explain it in detail.
Firstly, you should know why you have to go on dialysis and what the function of this treatment is.
No matter what caused your kidney disease and which kind it belongs to, the result is the same: your kidneys will gradually lose their function and failed to finish their task. This is called end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Generally, the options for this stage is either dialysis or kidney transplant. Here we just talk about dialysis.
How does dialysis help to treat your kidney failure? Actually, dialysis is not “treating” your kidney failure at all—it just take the place of the kidneys to perform the functions that should have been done by the kidneys. When the kidneys have lost most of their functions, dialysis is needed to help your kidneys to filter your blood and clean the metabolic wastes.
Secondly, why you still have high creatinine level after the dialysis treatment?
We have explained that dialysis is just a replacement therapy of kidney failure. You have to do dialysis regularly because your body is continuously producing metabolic wastes, which must be cleared out from time to time. Creatinine is just one of the metabolic products.
Creatinine is the waste product of protein metabolism. Derived from creatine and synthesized in liver, kidneys and pancreas and stored in muscle tissue. Creatinine is released into the extracellular fluid and excreted through the kidneys. Creatinine is filtered by the glomeruli and NOT reabsorbed. When kidneys are working properly, serum creatinine level is low but with renal function impaired, creatinine level increases. If half of nephrons are damaged then serum creatinine level rises to about double.
During dialysis, your creatinine would have a fluctuation. When you have just finished the dialysis, your creatinine level would go down because creatinine in your blood has been cleaned out by the dialysis. Therefore, creatinine does not really go down during dialysis (meaning while on dialysis not actually while on the machine during a run). Creatinine doesn't go down basically because labs are usually taken before a dialysis session so you can get an idea of where the body is at; if it was taken right after a dialysis session it would be artificially lower, because the toxins would be removed. Anyway since the creatinine is just a measure of the toxins in the blood and the kidneys aren’t doing their job it will remain high, reflecting the fact that toxins are building up between dialysis sessions(and hence the need for dialysis). Once on dialysis the creatinine measure is mostly irrelevant anyway since the renal function is gone anyway.
Another factor is that different kinds of dialysis have different effect. The two basic types of dialysis are hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. Compared with hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis can lower the creatinine to a smaller degree. That is to say, your creatinine can be lowered by peritoneal dialysis not as much as hemodialysis.
Normal creatinine level (for reference):
Men = 0.6~1.5 mg/dL
Women = 0.6~1.1 mg/dL
Pregnancy = reduced in children = 0.2~1.0 mg/dL
That’s all for high creatinine level in patients undergoing dialysis.

Treatment for Recurrent Nephrotic Syndrome

Treatment for Recurrent Nephrotic Syndrome
Nephrotic syndrome is a nonspecific disorder in which the kidneys are damaged, causing them to leak large amounts of protein (proteinuria at least 3.5 grams per day per 1.73m2 body surface area) from the blood into the urine.
Kidneys affected by nephrotic syndrome have small pores in the podocytes, large enough to permit proteinuria (and subsequently hypoalbuminemia, because some of the protein albumin has gone from the blood to the urine) but not large enough to allow cells through (hence no hematuria). By contrast, in nephritic syndrome, RBCs pass through the pores, causing hematuria.
At present, the traditional treatment for Nephrotic Syndrome is adrenocortical hormone, such as prednisone, hexadecadrol, etc. Nephrotic Syndrome needs large dosage of medicine to treat. Hormone treatment has the advantage of inhibiting immune response, and stopping urine protein and occult blood symptomatically. It can not repair the renal pathological damage. Although, urine protein and occult blood will turn to negative shortly, it is temporary actually. The disease can be induced easily by cold, tire, infection, or improper reducing medicine dosage. Moreover, the pathological damage will be worsened by each recurrent, resulting in protracted disease course. Hormone treatment is also a very important cause for the recurrent of Nephrotic Syndrome.
Hormone as well as other immunosuppressants and cytotoxic medicines are all targeted at the symptoms, but they can not repair the damaged kidney. Thus, if people want to treat Nephrotic Syndrome fundamentally, they must adopt the combined therapy of Chinese and Western medicine. By this therapy, Western medicine will ease the symptoms which can solve the problems of low effect of Chinese medicine and damaged renal tissues caused by long-term application of Chinese medicine. And once the Micro-Chinese Medicine enters the lesions, the active substances in the Chinese medicine can dilate systemic vessels of all levels, provide blood and oxygen for damaged cells through increasing blood perfusion so as to fundamentally ease the renal state of ischemia and hypoxia and reduce the further impairment of renal cells.
In addition,  Immunotherapy   have been applied into kidney disease treatment in recent years. Immunotherapy   have the characters of unlimited proliferation, multi-direction differentiation, support hematopoiesis, immune regulation, self-replication etc, which can be used as the ‘seed cells’ to repair the damaged tissues and organs. In recent years, clinical research has proved that  Immunotherapy   can differentiate into renal inherent cells and renal parenchyma cells etc, and then repair and rebuild the renal function. Micro-Chinese Medicine combined with  Immunotherapy   has a therapeutic effect for treating Kidney Disease.
So, to solve the problem of recurrent is to treat nephrotic syndrome from root. Hope my explanation can make you understand, and send your daughter to receive correct treatment as soon as possible. We are really worried about most of the parents who don't know the correct treatment for Nephrotic Syndrome miss the best treatment time for their .
In fact, their condition can be reversed and even recover through proper treatment. But, due to the improper treatment, the illness condition worse and worse, entering end-stage of kidney disease finally. At that time, no treatment will be helpful, besides dialysis and kidney transplantation.

Is Dialysis Inevitable for Diabetics

Diabetes Mellitus is always called Silent Killer due to its severity and latent complications. Once someone gets Diabetes, various complications are just around the corner. Among them, Diabetic Nephropathy is always attached much importance to, and finally the dialysis become inevitable if there is no effective treatment in time. Is dialysis really inevitable for Diabetes? We get some knowledge of Diabetes and Diabetic Nephropathy first.
Diabetes is characterized by the retention of blood glucose in human body which is aroused by the decreased function of pancreas and the insulin resistance. During the course, kidneys are always involved in. When there are some pathological changes in kidney, we can find the basilar membrane become broad, accompanied by proliferation of mesangial cells and the hyperplasia of extracellular matrixes in glomeruli, and also the broadening and nodosity of glomerular capsules.
There is no exact reason to explain the involvement of kidney during Diabetes. However, according to the study of pathology, we can illustrate it in the following way.
The key reason can be abnormal hemodynamics in kidneys. When the level of blood glucose is higher, the glomeruli will be in a situation of high perfusion and high filtration, so the pressure in capillaries will rise and epithelial cells in glomeruli will drop as well. Also, the type IV collagen in basilar membrane become more, so the mesangial area broadens and glomeruli are sclerosed. Meanwhile, excessive protein accumulates in basilar membrane, promoting the proliferation of extracellular matrixes. What's more, the genetic history and high blood pressure are the influencing factors for diabetics to develop Diabetic Nephropathy.
Once the kidneys are involved in the Diabetes, the course of it can be divided into five stages. In the early stages, say, the stage 1, 2, and 3, The Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) is at first higher and become normal later then; the disease condition can be reversed if effective treatment can be provided, and if no, more than 90% of the suffers can become the really obvious Diabetic Nephropathy. Then, it progresses into clinical Diabetic Nephropathy during which the GFR decreases accompanied by Hypertension in most cases, and If the blood pressure cannot be controlled well, the GFR will deteriorate rapidly, so that the suffers will develop Kidney Failure within 5-8 years, that is to say, in the end stage of Diabetic Nephropathy. The GFR decreases to be less than 10ml/min; the levels of urea nitrogen and creatinine increase; edema and Hypertension aggravate further, and Hypoproteinemia will appear. What's worse, retinal changes and nerve changes will come together with the Diabetic Nephropathy in many cases. Generally speaking, when the patient is in his stage 4, the serum creatinine will be higher than 400umol/L. In stage 5, the level of creatinine and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) rises obviously, and when the creatinine is as high as 700umol/L, dialysis is inevitably necessary because almost all the kidney functions are lost already.
Here is the summarized introduction from which you can know how the Diabetes develops into Diabetic Nephropathy, and how the dialysis become inevitable. In the end stage of Diabetic Nephropathy, kidneys lose most functions so all the wastes in human body need to be excreted outside with the help of dialysis. From all those mentioned above, we can know the importance of effective and timely treatment for Diabetes. Only when the condition is controlled in the early stages, can the progress be decelerated. Also, when effective treatment can be provided, the dialysis can be avoided thereby.

how to treat Chronic Kidney Disease

What is Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)?
Chronic kidney disease includes conditions that damage your kidneys and decrease their ability to keep you healthy by doing the jobs listed. If kidney disease gets worse, wastes can build to high levels in your blood and make you feel sick. You may develop complications like high blood pressure, anemia (low blood count), weak bones, poor nutritional health and nerve damage. Also, kidney disease increases your risk of having heart and blood vessel disease. These problems may happen slowly over a long period of time. Chronic kidney disease may be caused by diabetes, high blood pressure and other disorders. Early detection and treatment can often keep chronic kidney disease from getting worse. When kidney disease progresses, it may eventually lead to kidney failure, which requires dialysis or a kidney transplant to maintain life.
how to treat Chronic kidney disease?
There are micro-chinese medicine in shijiazhuang kidney disease.
Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is the innovative therapy summarized by years of treatment practice of Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital, the core technology of which is to make the effective prescriptions of kidney disease superfinely shattered, the aim of which is to fully release and mix the effective ingredients. Then with the help of effective penetrant and osmosis devices, the effective medicines are permeated into kidney lesions by external application, thus achieving the goal of treating kidney disease. This external application method not only eliminated the problem of toxic and side-effect of oral drugs, but also achieved the aim of transferring medicine ingredients right to the lesion. Moreover, this innovative therapy has been proved effective and convenient by clinical practice. This therapy has become one of the supportive characteristic core iatrotechnics in Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital, which occupied the main status in the treatment technique of our hospital. The therapeutic mechanism is: by blood vessels expanding, anti-inflammation, anticoagulation, anti blood viscidity and fibrosis substance degradation, achieve the goal of blocking the process of renal fibrosis, recovering damaged inherent renal cells and renal function, and rebuilding the proper structure.
Chinese herb medicine treats CKD mainly from the following aspect:
Improve micro circulation
Chinese herb medicine has effect in promoting micro circulation which contributes to improving ischemia and anoxia of the kidneys. Ischemia and anoxia of the kidneys are root causes of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). Chinese herb medicine can well improves such condition by promoting blood circulation of the kidneys.
Clear up wastes in the blood
It is very familiar to patients with CKD that many wastes build up in their blood because the kidneys cannot work normally. Some of wastes are harmful to the body. When there are too much, they will poison many organs and cause other problems. In this regard, Chinese herb medicine also has effect. It can promote process of filtering wastes by enlarging blood vessels, anti-inflammation and anticoagulation. In this case, symptoms like high blood pressure, loss of appetite, itching, high level of urea and uric acid will be relieved.
Repair the damaged renal functional cells
The kidneys cannot work normally due to damage of renal functional cells. To treat Chronic Kidney Disease, damaged renal functional cells must be repaired. This is what western medicines cannot do. Chinese herb medicine can help to repair the damage renal functional cells due to its two characteristics. One is that Chinese herb medicine can provide essential substances during restoration, such as vitamin, organic acid, trace elements, etc. The other is that some ingredients of Chinese herb medicines can stimulate damaged renal functional cells to start self-repairing mechanism and speed up DNA Replication in damaged renal functional cells.
Improve immunity
Chinese herb medicine has good effect in fighting inflammation in the kidneys, thus improving patients’ immunity. This is different from some western medicines, which often decreases immunity. These medicines include steroid, immunosuppressive agents, cytotoxic agents and medicines taken to deal with rejection after kidney transplant.
Chinese herb medicine treats Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) mainly from the above aspects. Many clinical practices have proven that Chinese herb medicine effective in treating Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). Till now, it has helped many patients with CKD.

How to Prevent Polycystic Kidney Disease from Developing into Renal Failure

Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is a hereditary disease which manifests itself as multiple or countless fluid cysts on bilateral kidneys. The changes cause the kidneys to become enlarged obviously and lose their normal shape. Along with the development of the disease, the amount of cysts becomes more and the volume becomes larger. At last, Renal Failure appears as a result of severe damage to the renal tissues. Then how to prevent Polycystic Kidney Disease from developing into Renal Failure?
First you should know what the clinical symptoms of Renal Failure are. There are multiple symptoms of PKD-induced Renal Failure. In addition to pathognomonic symptoms of PKD like waist pain, abdominal mass (enlarged kidneys) and hematuria, there can be many other complications the most common ones of which include hypertension, cyst infection, cyst fracture etc. At the advanced stage, other symptoms like abdominal intumescentia, distending pain, dyspnea, diuresis and infection, nausea and vomiting can also occur, leaving the patients suffering a lot.
When Polycystic Kidney Disease develops into Renal Failure, there isn’t any radical cure at present. The most important thing for the patients is early and positive treatment so as to prevent deterioration of the disease and occurrence of its complications. The purpose is to protect the remained renal function and avoid further damage to the kidneys. There are several ways to prevent Polycystic Kidney Disease from developing into renal failure.
1. Early detection of the disease.
According to statistics, Polycystic Kidney Disease has 60% to 70% of genetic predisposition. There is equal expectancy in male and female. Therefore, in a family with a family history of PKD, there can be several persons who have the disease at the same time. Generally, symptoms of Polycystic Kidney Disease begin to occur when the patient is 25~35 years old or when kidney failure begins. Therefore, people with such a family history had better do screening tests regularly in order to detect and treat the disease early. The commonly used test methods like B ultrasound, CT and MRI can all be used to diagnose PKD. Serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen can reflect the degree of renal functional damage as well as the stage of the disease.
2. Early prevention and treatment of complications.
Hypertension, urinary tract infection and cyst fracture are common complications of Polycystic Kidney Disease, and they are also the important factors that induce and aggravate renal functional damage, so they should be treated and controlled in time. During the process of medication, renal toxicity should be avoided. If there appears unceasing hematuria or fierce waist pain or abdominal pain, it is possibly caused by cyst infection accompanied with cyst bleeding or cyst fracture. In this condition, the patient should go to hospital in time so as to avoid delaying the disease and aggravating renal failure.
3. Tapping therapy of renal cyst.
This is a general treatment in recent years. The mechanism is to eliminate or alleviate oppression of the cysts to the renal tissues by tapping the cysts, so that renal blood flow volume can be recovered and renal function can be improved and protected.
4. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment in Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital
Traditional Chinese medicine has good effect in treating chronic renal failure. Especially for those who are at the early stage, traditional Chinese medicine can obviously improve the clinical symptoms and control the developing of the disease as well as lower the creatinine and BUN level. Many years’ clinical practice has proved that Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy in Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital has great effect in treating polycystic kidney disease.
5. Home nursing care.
PKD renal failure is a chronic progressing disease which can be aggravated by factors like mood fluctuation, overtiredness, intemperance of taking food or trauma. Therefore, the patient should keep a good state of mind and build up their confidence to fight against the disease.

How to Early Detect Renal Cyst?

Want to know how to early detect Renal Cyst? First you ought to know what symptoms Renal Cyst has. Generally, patients realized the disease by ache. Patients begin to present with hematoma as the disease gets worse. Of course the patient acuity can only be confirmed after detailed examination.
In the early stage, the renal cysts is small and have less pressure upon renal parenchyma, which have little effect on renal function too, so most Renal Cyst patients have no symptoms. How can early detect Renal Cyst? With the growing of renal cyst, patients usually felt pain in back and waist several years or tens of years ago. Some patients may get more serious symptoms resulting from the increasing pressure of cyst and internal pressure, infection etc. As the disease progresses, these are the common symptoms as follows:
1. Discomfort or pain in back and abdomen: it is caused by enlargement and dilatation of kidney, which exaggerates the renal capsule tension, implicates renal pedicle, or presses nearby organs. Besides, polycystic kidney will get the kidney heavier and strained with water content, which leads to lumbago as well. Feature of the pain is: dull pain, fixed in one side or both sides, radiate towards under part and small of the back. Capsuloganglionic hemorrhage or secondary infection will lead to drastic aggravation of pain. And consolidated stone or urinary tract obstruction by coagula may lead to renal colic.
2. Symptom of Renal Cyst hematuria: appears as Microscopic Hematuria and Gross Hematuria. Periodical attack, accompanied by aggravated lumbago, and hematuria aggravating after strenuous exercise, trauma or infection. Cause of hemorrhage: as there are lots of arteries below cyst wall, pressure increase or concurrent infection will lead to cyst wall vessel bleeding caused by over-pulling.
3. Fluxion abdominal: sometimes the main pathogeny of patients, of which 60% to 80% have palpable swollen kidney. Generally speaking, the bigger the kidney is, the worse the renal function gets.
4. Symptom of Renal Cyst Renal Proteinuria: not much in volume, less than 2 grams within 24 hours. It has low possibility of turning into Nephritic Syndrome.
5. Symptoms of Renal Cyst Hypertension: cyst oppresses kidney, which leads to renal ischemia, brings more reninoma, and hypertension. 50 patients are suffering from hypertension when in normal circumstances; and incidence of hypertension gets higher when renal functions decrease.
6. Renal insufficiency: due to cyst occupying and oppressing, normal renal tissues get dramatically decreased, renal function gets progressive lose, and then comes the symptoms of Renal Insufficiency or Uremia.
Expert of the kidney disease hospital pointed out that, as in the early stage of Renal Cyst, there are no apparent symptoms, and then many people took no notice of its side effect. Besides, it’s not suitable for operation or puncture when cyst is small, western medicine doctors may suggest routine observation, resulting in the development of a number of Renal Cysts to the point of difficult to treat. In fact, it is effective for early Renal Cysts to have Chinese medicine controlling and cyst reduction treatment. Only early treatment can we prevent the hazards in renal function damage.
As the problem of ‘how to early detect Renal Cyst is better. Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital, after years of study, raised the high-tech treatment combination of micronized traditional Chinese medicine, immunoadsorption & blood purification, and stem cell transplantation & intervention, which created a new chance of curing kidney disease. The combined action of the three characteristic technologies featured the five healing powers of kidney disease treatment: blocking-up, adsorption, purification, restoration, and rebuilding. And the combination of Traditional Chinese and Western medicine ensured the timeliness and effectiveness of our treatment; the combination of the four technologies ensured the execution of stereotactic treatment: multi-azimuth, multi-channel, multi-pathway, multi-target spot, and multi-system.

How to Better Prevent Nephrotic Syndrome?

Nephrotic syndrome is a group of symptoms including protein in the urine (more than 3.5 grams per day), low blood protein levels, high cholesterol levels, high triglyceride levels, and swelling.
Nephrotic Syndrome Causes
Nephrotic syndrome is caused by various disorders that damage the kidneys, particularly the basement membrane of the glomerulus. This immediately causes abnormal excretion of protein in the urine.
The most common cause in children is minimal change disease, while membranous glomerulonephritis is the most common cause in adults.
This condition can also occur as a result of infection (such as strep throat, hepatitis, or mononucleosis), use of certain drugs, cancer, genetic disorders, immune disorders, or diseases that affect multiple body systems including diabetes, systemic lupus erythematosus, multiple myeloma, and amyloidosis.
It can accompany kidney disorders such as glomerulonephritis, focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis, and mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis.
Nephrotic syndrome can affect all age groups. In children, it is most common from age 2 to 6. This disorder occurs slightly more often in males than females.
How to better Prevent Nephrotic Syndrome? Here are several key points as follows.
1. Treat kinds of infectious diseases actively, such as common cold, throat infection, skin infection, intestinal infection, respiratory tract infection, vaginal infection etc, to avoid the inducing of Nephrotic Syndrome.
2. Cold is the important cause of its worsening and relapsing. We must prevent it actively. The medicine Zhenqi Fuzheng Chongji, Banlangeng Chongji, Jade Screen Powder should be taken.
3. For the patients who need Chinese and Western medicine treatment, it is advised to avoid the using of Nephrotoxic medicine, such as Gentamicin, Amikacin, large doses of Fiveleaf Akebia and Alisma Orientale etc.
4. Pay attention to hygiene, decline going to public places or big crowds, minimize the opportunity of contacting with the outside, so as to prevent the infection.
How to Prevent Nephrotic Syndrome is better? How to prevent relapse?
1. Try to cooperate with the doctor, to get the diagnosis as soon as possible. Do renal biopsies if circumstances allow, defined the disease on cell structure level, and then work out the nichetargeting programs.
2. After working out the program, the patient should follow the doctor’s advice strictly. Take the medicine strictly under the guidance, including the dose and period; carry out clinical follow-up routinely, adjust the dose following the advice of doctor. There would be more chances of repeated attack when reduce the dose of Prednisone to 20-25mg/d. Don’t be alarmed, contact the doctor instantly, and adjust the therapeutic schedule according to your condition. This will generally make a remission regaining.
3. To deal with infection actively and cautiously. For a Nephrotic Syndrome patient, large amount of albumin pass off with the urine every day, among which there are important components of our immune defense, such as immune globulin, complement components etc. Meanwhile, the decrease of function of leucocyte and lose of microelements like zinc, will weaken the body resistance towards external pathogenic factors.

Treat Uremia By Immunotherapy

More people know renal failure, But Do they know Uremia ? A lot of people don't know uremia.Uremia is renal failure in fact.Uremia or uraemia (see spelling differences) is a term used to loosely describe the illness accompanying kidney failure (also called renal failure), in particular the nitrogenous waste products associated with the failure of this organ.
In kidney failure, urea and other waste products, which are normally excreted into the urine, are retained in the blood. Early symptoms include anorexia and lethargy, and late symptoms can include decreased mental acuity and coma. Other symptoms include fatigue, nausea, vomiting, cold, bone pain, itch, shortness of breath, and seizures. It is usually diagnosed in kidney dialysis patients when the glomerular filtration rate, a measure of kidney function, is below 50% of normal.
How to treat uremia?Do you know Immunotherapy?
All the people know that a great breakthrough had been achieved for the Immunotherapy treating Neurological disease. Can the Immunotherapy treat Uremia? The Immunotherapy is the maximum one researched by Cellular Engineering and the first adult Immunotherapy applied to clinical treatment. The cause of Serum Creatinine increase is the renal fibrosis. The normal renal units possessed with filtrated function are replaced by the fibrous tissue and lose the detoxification function. The key treatment is to repair the renal inherent cell and activate the residual renal function.
Therefore, if the patient has a certain quantity of urine, it is not suggested to use dialysis only. During the process of dialysis, there may be some side effects occurred for the patient own sakes. In our hospital, we promote Immunotherapy to treat kidney disease vigorously. The Immunotherapy belongs to the regenerated medical technology. Through the processes of isolating, culturing in vitro, targeted inducement, even genetic modification, the Immunotherapy can breed new, normal and younger cells, tissues or organs. At last, through the transplant of cells, tissues and organs, the clinical treatment of disease is realized.
Every system in the human body is interrelated, inter-adjusted. Renal function is regulated by nerve and body fluid. Immunotherapy can differentiate into new nerve cells, restore and improve the regulation to kidneys by renal sympathetic nerves. Besides, Immunotherapy can also produce new vascular endothelial cell (VEC) and excrete myocardial cells etc. through the generation of various active substances to regulate the renal function, and repair and improve the kidneys in general. And, Immunotherapy can also regenerate the cells of other tissue, such as liver cell, myocardial cell etc. It can play a role of improving and restoring brain and heart damage caused by the deposition of water, electrolyte disorder and metabolic wasters.
Immunotherapy research is one of the most challenging and attractive fields in the current biology. The application of Immunotherapy in the fields of life science initiates revolutionary new therapy, providing a new breakthrough for the kidney disease treatment. Therefore, Immunotherapy treating kidney disease is based on the science. Immunotherapy Research becomes a new hotspot in bio-medical field. Since 1990s, the technology of hematopoietic Immunotherapy had developed rapidly, more safer and effective, becoming the important way to cure various benign or malignant Hemopathy and hereditary disease.

What Cause Renal Failure

Renal Failure is a common kidney disease, It must be treated in time.Or kidney patient must dialysis for his kidney.so If you have Renal Failure,you must be treated in time.  But What Cause Renal Failure?  The causes are as following:  1. Hypovolemia: serious loss of blood volume may lead to Renal Failure.  2. Abnormal blood circulation:  Abnormal circulation may lead to obstruction of renal artery or vein, thus causing ischemia state, then aggravate injury on kidneys;  3. Drug abuse:  Due to kidneys are the main organ for eliminating toxins, most drugs will do harm to kidneys. For example, some patients with kidney disease take large amounts of diuretics which will cause the excessive loss of water, which may lead to Acute Renal Failure.  Comparing with Acute Renal Failure, causes of Chronic Renal Failure are complicated.  1. Common disease:  There are two kinds of disease may lead to Renal Failure. On one hand, kidney disease may develop into Renal Failure. Chronic glomerulonephritis is one of the common cause and including IgA Nephropathy, Mesangial Proliferative Glomerulonephritis and focal segmental sclerosing glomerulonephritis, etc. In addition, polycystic kidney disease,  reflux nephropathy, kidney stones and prostate disease can also cause Renal Failure.  On the other hand, other disease can also cause Renal Failure, such as poorly controlled diabetes, Hypertension and so on.  2. Infectious nephropathy:  Chronic Pyelonephritis, nephrotuberculosis, etc. Serious infection may lead to Renal Failure while patients with Renal Failure should also pay attention to avoiding infection.  3. Accumulation of ECM:  Eextracellular matrix (ECM) is not easily to be degraded, so the abundant deposition and of ECM will replace nephrons, thus leading continuous glomerulus sclerosis.  4. Gene factors:  Polycystic Kidney Disease and Alport syndrome are the main kidney disease relating with gene. Patients with family history of kidney disease should treat the disease timely to avoid Renal Failure.  5. Others:  ureteral obstruction,vasculitis, Multiple Myeloma and so on can also cause injury on kidneys, thus leading to the occurrence of Renal Failure.  Though Renal Failure is a serious stage of kidney disease, there still treatments for it. Seeing from the whole world, there are two main ways: kidney transplant and  Immunotherapy   Transplant. Kidney transplant is mature in technology, but it still have some disadvantages, such as long-term medicines for rejection, long-term waiting for suitable donor and so on.  Immunotherapy   is a new technology, so it can not be accept by most people, especially patients whose countries have no this technology. However, with the development of medical science, Immunotherapy   are applied by more and more people nowadays.

What Is the Life Expectancy for Patients With Polycystic Kidney Disease

Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD or PCKD, also known as polycystic kidney syndrome) is a cystic genetic disorder of the kidneys.[1] There are two types of PKD: Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) and the less-common Autosomal Recessive Polycystic Kidney Disease (ARPKD).
Then What Is the Life Expectancy for Patients With Polycystic Kidney Disease?
Actually, lifespan for PKD patients would be quite hard to predict. Because it not only decided by cyst size, but also related with patients’ general condition. As well know, PKD patients would complicate with polycystic liver, polycystic pancreas as well as aneurysma etc. Upper respiratory tract diseases, like cold, cough and asthema, might exacerbate the inflammatory reaction in the body. These inflammatory factors can decrease your immunity and your renal function will get damaged as well. Liver, pancreas are very important organs which can secrete bile and insulin respectively. Once these parts get invaded by cysts, their original function would be disrupted and internal systems will face a disorder. In that case, patients can not expect an longer lifespan.
Traditional treatments for cysts are cyst decortications and tapping. These treatments are surgeries, which remove the fluids with a minimally invasive injury. We have to acknowledge these treatments are effective to remove big cysts in a short time. Whereas, they can do nothing to settle small cysts. Over time, small cysts will enlarge rapidly because they have get less pressure caused by big cysts. In this case, patients have to endure many times operation. As we know these operations are invasive, they are probably to injure renal parenchyma. Herewith, invasive surgery may not benefit patients but exacerbate their condition.
Patients with Polycystic Kidney Disease should avoid conflicting exercises, say play boxing, play basketball as well as other sports. They should not bend so frequently when some symptoms appear say, blood urine, high blood pressure, proteinuria etc., because bending can make cysts rupture. At last but not least, patients should take some conservative treatment to shrink their cysts rather than take surgery constantly, clinical experience show that patients take conservative treatment can effectively prevent renal canceration and suffer from less pains.

Polycystic Kidney Natural Treatments

Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is a genetic disorder that causes fluid-filled cysts to form in the kidneys. Many cysts grow in the kidneys will press the around normal tissues and reduce the renal function. It may cause renal failure in many cases eventually.
Polycystic Kidney Disease is very dangerous because it can not only cause Renal Failure, but also cause liver cysts and especially heart and brain problem which is life threatening. Therefore, treatment for PKD is vitally important in keeping the disease and its symptoms under control and to help prevent kidney failure later. Because patients suffering from polycystic kidney disease display an array of symptoms, various treatments are prescribed by traditional doctors. Over-the-counter pain medications are given for discomfort, hormone avoidance or partial liver removal are used to treat liver cysts, low sodium healthy diets are advised to keep blood pressure under control, and antibiotics are used to treat frequent kidney infections. In serious cases, when patients have very big cysts with the size over 50mm, doctors may suggest liquid pumping, which is a lot of suffering, but the effect will not last long. Because once the bigger cysts are removed, the smaller cysts will have more space to grow. What’s more, the operation will also damage normal tissues and cause renal function decline.
So many patients were told by the doctors that there is no treatment for Polycystic Kidney Disease except dialysis and kidney transplant in the end stage renal failure. Many patients are desperate and want to search for natural treatments for polycystic kidney.
China is the birth land of traditional herbal medicine. Many herbs are believed to relieve some of the symptoms of the disease. The herbs include the following: dandelion root, which can help the kidneys excrete waste; cranberry, which has antibiotic properties and helps to acidify urine; celery, which works as a diuretic to decrease uric acid; parsley, which works as a diuretic to decrease uric acid; hydrangea, which cleanses the urinary tract; and uva ursi, which is has germicidal properties that cleanse the urinary tract. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is great improvement of traditional Chinese medicine. It is a kind of external application on the skin of the back where the kidneys are located. Main and collateral channels is an unique system connecting the outside and the inside. It is connected to the skin and the texture of the subcutaneous flesh outside and the organs inside. By applying the medicine to relevant acupuncture points combining with the modern physiotherapies such as ultrasound and medium frequency electrotherapy etc. The medicine can arrive directly at the lesions by physical permeating and main and collateral channels transmission thus achieving the purpose of treating the disease.
Micro-Chinese medicine can expand the blood vessels, improve the microcirculation around the cysts walls and increase the permeability of the cysts walls. Therefore, the cyst liquid can be reabsorbed into the blood and be discharged out of body with blood circulation. With the natural treatments, the cysts will gradually shrink and the pressure on the around tissues will decrease, the state of renal ischemia and anoxia will be improved, so the renal function will be gradually recovered.
With the development of medical science, more treatment methods will be researched to treat Polycystic Kidney Disease, so patients with Polycystic Kidney Disease should never lose heart. Don’t forget keeping in good mood is also natural treatment for Polycystic Kidney Disease.

Advice for Patients with Hypertensive Nephropathy

Advice for Patients with Hypertensive Nephropathy
Long-term uncontrolled hypertension is likely to cause Hypertensive Nephropathy. In turn, Hypertensive Nephropathy aggravates hypertension. This forms a vicious circle. Therefore, controlling hypertension is very important for patients with Hypertensive Nephropathy. Here are some pieces of advice for you to control hypertension in daily life.
◇Don’t drink
Drinking accelerates heartbeat, speeds up blood circulation and boosts rise of blood pressure. Therefore, patients with Hypertensive Nephropathy should not drink wine.
◇ Follow a low-sodium diet
Study shows that sodium increases blood pressure. As a patient with Hypertensive Nephropathy, you had better follow a low-sodium diet. As is know to all, sodium is abundant in salted foods, such as salt, canned means, salted condiments, pickled vegetables, soy sauce, etc. It is better for you to limit your salt intake to 5 grams per day, including salt in salted foods.

◇ Wash with warm water
Cold or hot water can stimulate receptors in skins, causing vasoconstriction and then affecting blood pressure. In this case, it is better for you to use warm water when doing some washing. Wash face and brush teeth with water at 30~35 degree centigrade. If having a bath, you had better not take a long time.
◇ Drink a cup of water in the morning
Drink a cup of water after brushing teeth in the morning. This cup of water has many functions, including diluting blood, decreasing denseness of blood, lowering blood pressure, promoting metabolism and washing gastrointestinal tract.
◇ Do proper exercise
Study shows that proper exercise can help to lower blood pressure. You can do some exercise like walking, Taiji and other non-strenuous exercises.
