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.
