Why do diabetes patients have swollen feet? Generally, the causes can mainly
be divided into two kinds. On one hand, swollen foot is caused by diabetic feet
and on the other hand, swollen feet are caused by diabetic nephropathy. Both of
them are complications of diabetes.
Firstly, when diabetic feet take place, the damage will occur in feet.
Accordingly, blood circulation is blocked. In this case, patients will suffer
from edema or have swollen feet.
Secondly, with the long time high blood glucose in the body, there will be
blocked micro-blood circulation in the body, including the micro-blood vessels
in the kidney. Diabetes kidney disease or diabetic nephropathy will take place.
Diabetic nephropathy can be divided into 5 stages in clinic. As we know, one of
kidney’s functions is filtrating water. So when kidney is damaged, water can not
be filtrated out of the body, thus causing edema or swollen feet.
From the above, we can get a conclusion that we should treat the
complications of diabetes especially diabetic nephropathy.
In our Hospital, Chinese Medicine can relieve edema maximally. Firstly,
Chinese Medicine can extend blood vessels, improve the blood circulation, which
can repair the damaged intrinsic cells and lay a foundation for the stem cell
therapy, which is the core therapy in diabetic nephropathy treatment.
Stem cells are initial cells with strong self-renewing and
multi-differentiation abilities. They are infused into human body through
intravenous injection, and then stem cells will transfer into the kidney lesions
by auto-homing function. Stem cells can adjust the immune disorder by repairing
the damaged glomeruli and by generating into new renal intrinsic cells to
replace the scarred ones.
In addition, stem cells can repair the damaged pancreas islet β cells, thus
recovering the function of insulin. In this case, the secretion of insulin can
turn normal and diabetes can recover consequently. In this case, swollen feet in
diabetic nephropathy can be diminished.
