Can stage 4 kidney disease be prevented? According to GFR, which is short for
glomerular filtration rate, Chronic Kidney Disease can be divided into 5 stages.
GFR can show the blood flow in the kidney, which is more accurate than serum
creatinine for creatinine is influenced by many factors such as diet and
exercise. The normal range of GFR is 80 to 120 ml/min. In stage 4, GFR falls to
15~29 ml/min. Serum creatinine rises to 451-707umol/L. In this stage, patients
should take dialysis in many western countries. The symptoms in stage 3 are more
obvious or severer such as fatigue, poor appetite, slight anemia. Patients can
also suffer from high blood pressure, the less absorption of calcium, etc.
Can stage 4 kidney disease be prevented? Stage 3 kidney disease is a critical
stage for the treatment. As long as we take effective measures to treat it, we
can get a good prognosis and stage 4 kidney disease can be prevented.
In stage 3, GFR falls to 30~59 ml/min. Serum creatinine is 186-442umol/l. The
best therapy is stem cell, which can secrete many factors after arriving at the
kidney so as to stimulate the more generation of stem cell in the renal
papillae. After this, stem cell will be activated and begins to differentiate.
Stem cell can differentiate into renal glomerular capillaries, thus forming new
renal glomerulus. In addition, stem cell can also differentiate into renal
tubules and cells in renal mesengial area. As long as the GFR keeps at 20 more
or less, we can do this stem cell. If we miss the opportunity, the kidney will
be difficult to reverse and get recover.
To assist stem cell and make sure stem cell transplant can be successful,
patients use Chinese Medicine to extend blood vessels, discharge the toxins in
the blood, thus creating a good inner environment for the stem cell. In this
way, stage 4 kidney disease can be prevented.
