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.
