Why Do I Have Nausea and Tiredness after Dialysis

Many patients may have nausea and tiredness after dialysis treatment. These terrible feelings may make the patients not want to have another dialysis treatment. Why the patients experience those horrible feelings?
Usually, the bad feelings will disappear in a few hours and by the next day. If not, the patients should make out if it is related to another problem.
It can help the patients on dialysis stop this from happening to know the causes of tiredness and nausea after dialysis. The detailed discussion of each reason are as follows:
Low blood pressure
Low blood pressure is the most common cause of tiredness and nausea. During dialysis treatment, fluid is removed to eliminate the building up of extra fluid in body. As healthy kidneys work in 24 hours persistently to remove the fluid out of body, the fluid is required to be excreted out of body in a short time. It is very likely to cause low blood pressure.
Severe aneamia
Severe aneamia is commonly seen in Renal Failure and can cause low blood pressure and weakness. This can be magnified by dialysis treatment.
Infection
Infection can lead to low blood pressure, nausea and tiredness. This can happen if there is a new infection that happens during dialysis or if there is a chronic infection that affects the way the body can tolerate the dialysis session.
Blood pressure medications
Many patients with Renal Failure have high blood pressure. Dialysis can lower blood pressure by removing extra fluid so most patients are told to stop medications for blood pressure during dialysis. As the medications start working and lowering blood pressure and the machine is removing fluid and lowering blood pressure, the blood pressure may go too low. Therefore, some patients with Renal Failure are recommended to stop taking medications for blood pressure, but some should not. It is necessary for you to discuss it with your doctors before starting dialysis.
The above are the causes of tiredness and nausea after dialysis. There are also some other possible reasons for it such as problem with dry weight, allergic reaction, etc. To learn more detailed information, please consult our online experts.

How to treat Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS)

What’s is Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS)? How to treat Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS)? Is it difficult to treat Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS)? These questions are always confusing patients with FSGS. In western countries, patients often adopt hormone, which has not satisfactory effect for it is not allergic to hormone, and difficult to treat. In this passage, doctors in our Hospital will introduce for you what is Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) and the characteristic treatment in our hospital.
Why do people get Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS)? Actually, the reason can be divided into two kinds: renal reasons such as low immunity and other reasons such as infections and cold, which leads inflammatory cells to invade and to combine with mesangial cell. As a result, a large amount of immune complex such as C3、lgG、lgM come into being and deposite in renal glomerular capillary loops, and mesangial area, which leads to the damage of mediated immune in mesangial cells of blood capillary, which damages the normal function of renal glomerular mesangial cells. In addition, the premier function which contains combined discharge barrier is also damaged.
After this function is damaged, protein in blood which shows negative charge will also be damaged due to the damage of barrier in mesangial cell. The protein will also discharge together with urine. In clinic, the urinary examination will show three pluses or two pluses.
From the above, we can make a conclusion that Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is a kind of immune disease, which manifest as protein in urine and a series of discomfort, including edema, etc.
How to treat Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) then? Is there a much better therapy instead of hormone? Traditional Chinese herbal medicine and stem cell transplant can make it.
Firstly, Traditional Chinese herbal medicine contains many nutritious substances, which can play roles after entering patients’ body. Then, the insufficiency of blood and oxygen in mesangial cell and other damaged intrinsic cells can be improved, which means that damaged mesangial cell and other damaged intrinsic cells can be repaired. In addition, traditional Chinese medicine has a micro-process compared with traditional Chinese medicine. So in contrast to hormone and other western medicine, traditional Chinese herbal medicine has no side effect, which makes it more popular among more and more patients in China and abroad.
How about stem cell transplant? As for those damaged cell, traditional Chinese herbal medicine can repair it and as for those necrotic ones, stem cell can generate into intrinsic necrotic cells. In addition, stem cell transplant can adjust the immunity.
In a word, the combination of traditional Chinese herbal medicine and stem cell transplant can achieve a perfect effect in treating Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS).

How to Reduce Creatinine

In China, the lab has a renal function test, which is actually a blood test about three index including serum creatinine, BUN( blood urea nitrogen) and uric acid, all of which is used to test whether the renal function is well for all of them are toxins which should have been discharged out. Among them, serum creatinine is the most scientific index which can show how renal functions. After all, kidney is an organ which is used to secrete the waster product. So both in Chinese labs or foreign labs, doctors value serum creatinine as the most valuable reference of renal function. Consequently, patients with kidney disease will also concentrate on the value of their serum creatinine. They also want to know about how to reduce creatinine.
How to reduce serum creatinine? Some patients with kidney disease turns to food for help, in the hope of reduce creatinine. Whether food can reduce serum creatinine is really a heated issue among those with kidney disease. As a matter of fact, food can not reduce serum creatinine at all. What’s worse, food can even increase serum creatinine. Why? Creatinine is a product of muscle’s metabolism. So the more food people take in, the more creatinine will be produced. Among all the food, meat can produce more than plants. In a conclusion, food can not reduce creatinine.
So how to reduce serum creatinine on earth? Before talking about this question, firstly, let talk about how serum creatinine increased.
In kidney, there are millions of kidney unites, which is composed of renal tubules and renal glomeruli, the functions of which is to discharge waste or toxins which is produced in the body such as creatinine. When the filtration barrier which includes basilar membrane is damaged, toxins such as creatinine can not pass through it and in this way, toxins such as creatinine, blood urea nitrogen ( BUN), urea acid will accumulate into the body, leading to the increased creatinine in the blood.
So in order to decrease creatinine, the treatment should be aimed at reparing damaged basilar membrane, which is the fundamental way to reducing creatinine.
Why does western medicine can not achieve satisfactory effect? Hormones and immunosuppressive agent,etc just focus on diminishing symptoms such as proteinuria, hematuria, and so on. What’s more, these therapies will also delay the treatment and worsen the condition, leading to more intrinsic cells damaged.

Diet Principle for Patients with Diabetic Nephropathy

As with many other diseases, a proper diet is quite important for patients with Diabetic Nephropathy. Therefore, it is very important to take preventive measures to slow down the disease progression. A reasonable diet is crucial for patients with Diabetic Nephropathy to prevent the disease progression and the diet principles are as follows:
1. Protein: The patients should adjust its protein intake according to their specific condition. Patients should maintain C-protein from 0.6 gram to 0.8 gram/per kilogram of body weight each day. Besides, it is good for patients to eat fish and lean meat. The high quality protein should cover more than half of the total protein intake.
2. Salt: In order to protect the kidney function and to lighten the burden of kidneys, patients with Diabetes should maintain the intake of salt within 3 gram each day.
3. Calcium: As a result of the electrolyte imbalance caused by the disease, the synthesis of calcium should be decreased, along with the supplement of calcium. Therefore, we should select our food carefully in our daily life.
4. Calories: It is very important for patients to control their blood sugar level. The key of controlling blood sugar is to limit amount of calorie strictly, sugar intake should be about 50%~60% of the total calorie intake.
If possible, we hope patients with Diabetic Nephropathy can send us your test report and then we can give more specific advice according to your specific condition.

Can Renal Failure Patients Eat Eggs

Eggs are food rich in nutrition such as protein and amino acid. Patients are always suggested to have eggs which are helpful for the recovery of the patients. However, as for those with kidney failure, they should have eggs selectively.
Firstly, kidney failure patients can have egg white, for it contains good-quality protein, which can supply nutrition for their recovery. Generally, one egg weighs 50g and contains 7g protein. The proportion of amino acid is suitable for the patients with renal failure. In addition, the use ratio is also high. So for patients with renal failure, eating an egg one day is good for their health.
Secondly, patients with kidney failure can not eat egg yellow for it contains rich phosphorus and cholesterol. When patients are in renal failure stage, the level of phosphorus will be high in most of time, so if they take in egg yellow, it will damage kidney further. On the other hand, cholesterol belongs to lipid, which will also increase the burden of the kidney.
For more information about the diet of patients with renal failure, please consult us online or leave a message. We are glad to serve.

Which Fish Is Suitable for Kidney Disease Patients?

Fish contains a variety of good quality protein, fish oil, which is good for us, especially for the growth of brain. Fish is popular in the world. Especially in Jingzhou, China, it is a custom that fish dish is the essential one on the table when honored guests come to visit and we treat them.
However, after diagnosed with kidney disease, can patients eat fish as usual? For those who have no symptoms and increased serum creatinine, they can choose fish, which can supply protein.
Especially for nephrotic syndrome patients, they lost a lot of protein in urine and should choose food to supply. They can choose fresh water fish such as carp, which helps diminish edema or swelling and crucian, which contains lots of nutrition.
However, if the kidney disease is nephritis of Schonlein-Henoch purpura or lupus nephritis, patients should be cautious. Many patients with Schonlein-Henoch purpura and lupus nephritis will have allergic reaction after eating them, which will worsen the allergy. For those people, if they want to take in more protein, they can choose other food such as milk, lean meat, egg white, and so on.

How to Lower Serum Creatinine

People who are diagnosed with kidney disease have high blood pressure for kidney has a function of discharging toxins produced in the body. Serum creatinine is a kind of toxin which should be discharged from body together with urine. So patients with kidney disease are searching methods to lower creatinine.
What’s the normal range of serum creatinine for patients with kidney disease? Generally, the normal range is between 44umol/L to 133umol/L.When the serum creatinine rises to more than 133umol/L, it means that patients have come into renal insufficiency stage or even renal failure stage. Why? It is because kidney has a strong ability of compensation. Serum creatinine will not rise when kidney can compensate.
So for patients who are in middle stage or end stage of kidney disease, high serum creatinine is the main and obvious symptom. So how to lower serum creatinine is also an important work to do. When serum creatinine rises, vicious circle will take place if it can not be controlled well. How to lower serum creatinine on earth?
As for western medicine, patients with kidney disease are suggested to take medicine drugs, which actually can only lower serum creatinine for the time being and can not treat kidney disease fundamentally. So, symptoms recur again and again. As the disease develops, it may develop into renal failure some day and bring patients more sufferings.
It is pointed out by kidney disease experts that if we want to lower serum creatinine, we must treat kidney disease from root.
As a matter of fact, high serum creatinine is due to the continuous damage of kidney disease and the decline of its secretion function. Toxins accumulate in the body, which leads to increased serum creatinine, increased BUN, and decreased GFR. At the same time, high blood pressure and serious edema will also appear in the body.
With the development of traditional Chinese medicine, breakthroughs have been achieved in China. Based on advanced traditional Chinese medicine, Chinese Medicine is created in, which can extend all blood vessels, promote the blood circulation, relieve the “three high” condition in renal glomeruli, repair the damaged renal glomerular basilar membrane, thus discharging metabolism waste out of the body, etc. Afterwards, many symptoms such as high blood pressure, metabolic acidosis, nausea, vomiting, and so on.
With the above symptoms disappearing, internal environment becomes more cleaer. Renal function recovers consequently, so serum creatinine will decline accordingly.

The Reason Why Creatinine Is High

Why is creatinine high? Creatinine is an index which can judge the kidney’s function. What is creatinine? Creatinine is a metabolism product which should be discharged out together with urine. Generally, 20g muscles can produce 1 mg creatinine. And it is filtrated out through renal glomeruli. Actually, creatinine can be divided into two kinds. One is from the metabolism of muscles and one is from the food we take in. Generally, the level of creatinine is stable in the body and does not influenced by the food we take in.
The reason why creatinine is high goes as follows:
After invaded by kinds of pathological factors, the renal intrinsic cell will have a phenotype transformation and form pathological damage, which can stimulate the fibroblast to transform into myofibroblastlike cells. In addition, it can invade the intrinsic renal tissues and the same pathological damage takes place as well. At this time, kidney function is damaged and then the filtration function to toxins such as creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, urea acid, and so on. What’s more, other symptoms such as high blood pressure, edema will also appear.
For chronic kidney disease patients, the creatinine and GFR in different stages is as follows:
Stage 1 GFR ≥90 mL/min/1.73m2 creatinine normal
Stage 2 GFR 60-89 mL/min/1.73m2 creatinine 133-177μmol/L (1.6-2.0mg/dL)
Stage 3 GFR 30-59 mL/min/1.73m2 creatinine 186-142μmol/L (2.1-5.0mg/dL)
Stage 4 GFR 15-29 mL/min/1.73m2 creatinine 451-707μmol/L (5.1-7.9mg/dL)
Stage 5 GFR <15 mL/min/1.73m2 creatinine >707μmol/L (>8.0mg/dL)
Since long time high level of creatinine can do harm to the body and cause a series of complications, we should find out and apply effective measures. Chinese Medicine can repair the damaged intrinsic cells such as renal glomerular filtration membrane because there are materials which can improve the insufficiency of blood and oxygen and supply more blood and oxygen. After the renal glomerular filtration membrane is repaired, high creatinine level will turn normal.
However, Chinese Medicine can only treat those with damaged intrinsic cells and can not deal with those necrotic intrinsic cells. It is the necrotic ones that make the kidney shrink, worsening the renal fibrosis. Stem cell transplant can achieve it. 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 change the genes and repair the damaged glomeruli by generating into new renal intrinsic cells to replace the scarred ones.
In addition, the application of Chinese Medicine can also create a clean environment for the transplantation of stem cell. In other words, the combination of Chinese Medicine and stem cell transplantation can give hope and good news to patients with high creatinine because as long as the renal function is recovered, high creatinine will decline consequently.

Hemolytic Anemia Chronic Renal Failure

Hemolytic anemia means that the damage of red blood cells accelerates, but the compensation of marrow’s hematopoietic function is not sufficient. If bone marrow can increase the generation of red blood cells, which can replace when short survival time of red blood cell, anemia will not take place. We call this condition decompensated hemolytic disease. Hemolytic anemia is rarely seen.
Hemolytic anemia can be caused by chronic renal failure, which is one kind of anemia caused by chronic renal failure. Why do patients with chronic renal failure have anemia? When patients develop into kidney failure stage, the secretion of hemopoietin which is short for EPO, decreases. So the hematopoietic function of marrow declines. EPO is produced in the kidney, which arrives marrow through blood circulation and then adjusts the marrow to produce red blood cells. In chronic kidney failure stage, the production of EPO is not enough, which leads to the low level of red blood cells in the body, thus causing anemia.
If not treated well, hemolytic anemia will worsen chronic renal failure in turn. Chinese Medicine can relieve the insufficiency of blood and oxygen in the vessels of the kidney, thus repairing the damaged intrinsic cells and reviving renal function. In this case, red blood cells will be generated and hemolytic anemia will disappear.

Best Treatment of FSGS

What is the best treatment for FSGS? Firstly, let’s have a general understanding about what is FSGS. Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is a cause of nephrotic syndrome in children and adolescents, as well as an important cause of kidney failure in adults. It is also known as "focal glomerular sclerosis" or "focal nodular glomerulosclerosis." It accounts for about a sixth of the cases of nephrotic syndrome.
With the development of FSGS, symptoms of nephrotic syndrome appear such as a large amount of proteinuria, edema, low protein in plasma and high fat in blood. Considering the side effects of hormones and immunosuppressive agent applied in the world, immunotherapy in our hospital is created, which can be the priority for patients with FSGS and the reasons are as follows:
Firstly, most kidney diseases are caused by immune disorder, and the same goes for the FSGS. Immunotherapy in our Hospital can be divided into 6 steps: immune diagnosis, immune clearance, immune inhibition, immune tolerance, immune adjustment and immune protection. Immune diagnosis can help FSGS patients find out where and the amount of immune complex, which can supply valuable evidence for the treatment plan of the doctors.
Secondly, immune clearance can help clear away the immune complex which deposits onto the kidney, thus stopping the excessive immune reaction and stopping the damage to the kidney for patients with FSGS.
Thirdly, in immune adjustment and immune protection stage, medicines are applied such as traditional Chinese herbal remedy.
Firstly, traditional Chinese herbal remedy can extend all levels of arteries, improve the micro-blood circulation, increase the effective perfusion in the kidney, relieve the insufficiency of blood and oxygen, increase the metabolism in partial area, which can also accelerate the repair of renal intrinsic cells such as renal arterial endothelial cells, thus relieving high blood pressure. Secondly, traditional Chinese herbal remedy can also inhibit the release of inflammatory mediators and inactivate the materials which can lead to damage to the kidney, thus reducing the further damage to the renal intrinsic cells, stopping the development of renal fibrosis and treating high blood pressure fundamentally.

Renal Transplantation in FSGS

In Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) stage, Sclerosis means “scarring to the filters of kidneys, glomeruli”. The word “focal” is added because in FSGS, only some of the glomeruli become scarred. “Segmental” means that only some sections of the glomerulus becomes scarred, just parts of them. So patients with Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) still have ability of recovering as long as not all glomeruli become sclerosis.
Some patients with Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) consider renal transplantation. Is renal transplantation the most suitable for patients with FSGS?
Firstly, the donated kidney is difficult to gain. There are so many people who are suffering from kidney disease, and some of them have developed into renal failure stage or uremia, which means that the kidney can not work well. However, not every one would like to donated the kidney after his life is over. Especially in China, people are mostly influenced by traditional culture.
Secondly, although the donated kidney is found, the donated kidney should be matched with the person who is ready to receive kidney. If not proper, patients with Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) will not only get in desperation and waste lots of time, delaying the treatment.
Thirdly, although the donated kidney is suitable for patients with Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), patients need to receive an operation. When it comes to operation, many of us will think of risk. Of course, if the operation is not successful, patients even lose their life unfortunately.
Fourthly, the survival rate for donated kidney is limited. Some can accompany patients with Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) all the rest life, and some can live for several months and several years. However, some even only live for several hours.
In addition, after being transplanted, patients with Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) have to take medicine which can prevent the rejection.
So is there a better treatment for patients with Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS)? With technology developing, stem cell transplant received satisfactory effect in clinic. After stem cell is transplanted into patients’ body, it will generate and differentiate into many offsprings and different intrinsic cells, then repair the damaged intrinsic cells or differentiate into intrinsic cells which have been necrotic. In this way, renal glomerular basilar membrane is repaired, and proteinuria, occult blood etc will disappear forever.
In addition, stem cell is not difficult to get and it is transplanted just by injection and will cause no risk.
So compared with renal transplantation and stem cell, we can find out which is better. If you are interested in stem cell transplant, welcome to consult or email us.

Can Chronic Kidney Disease Patients Drink Milk?

Can Chronic Kidney Disease patients drink milk? Milk contains essential and a variety of amino acid, and the amount is also enough. In addition, the structure of protein is quite similar to that of humans, which means that the nutrition is easy to be absorbed. So it is good for Chronic Kidney Disease patients to have some milk, which contains good quality protein. Experts summed up the advantages if patients with Chronic Kidney Disease patients drink milk.
Firstly, in the process of Chronic Kidney Disease, patients may suffer from the disorder of calcium and phosphorus. But in milk, the proportion of calcium and phosphorus is proper, which can help adjust the disorder in patients with Chronic Kidney Disease.
Secondly, in milk, there is not enough milk sugar, which means that even patients with Diabetic Nephropathy can have a bag per day.
Thirdly, the carbohydrate in milk is milk sugar, which can adjust gastric acid, promote the movement of the stomach and intestine and the secretion of glandula digestive. In addition, milk sugar can promote the absorption of calcium.
Fourthly, the fat in milk contains much energy, which is also easy to be absorbed. What’s more, often drinking milk can also do good to the skin, and relieve the dryness and withered hair caused by Chronic Kidney Disease.
Besides milk, what other food should patients with Chronic Kidney Disease pay attention to?
Firstly, patients with Chronic Kidney Disease should not take in food rich in salt. For patients with Chronic Kidney Disease, they can not discharge the urine well. At this time, if they have excessive water, their edema will become more serious and the blood volume will increase as well. Both of them can lead to heart failure. In a word, patients with Chronic Kidney Disease should keep low salt diet.
Secondly, patients with Chronic Kidney Disease should avoid spicy condiment such as pepper, mustard, black pepper, and so on.
Thirdly, Chronic Kidney Disease patients with high blood presser and anemia should limit the intake of fat, for fat can worsen the arteriosclerosis, and inhibit the function of producing blood.
Last but not least, Chronic Kidney Disease patients should limit the plant protein when necessary. It is because plant protein can produce more nitrogen, which can bring more burden to the kidney.

The Harm Which High Salt does to CKD

What is the harm that high salt does? Too much intake of salt can firstly lead to the increase of high blood pressure, which is also the greatest harm it does. Water can combine with sodium easily, which leads to the retention of water and sodium in the body. The blood vessels will swell, the wall of blood vessels will become thinner and the barrier of blood vessels increases. At the same time, the blood content increases, which gives more burden to the heart and kidney, thus leading to further difficulties of discharging sodium and increased high blood pressure.
When people are suffering from kidney disease, effective kidney nephrons decrease, the concentrating capacity of convoluted tubules declines. In addition, the discharge ability to sodium also decreases, which leads to the excessive content of sodium in blood. If kidneys are not capable of discharging the sodium in the blood, the organs such as kidney will be damaged, and what’s worse, such damage is hard to recover. In addition, if the sodium in the body is too high, it can also lead a large amount of potassium to discharge out together with urine. Potassium plays an important role in adjusting the contract of cardiac muscles. If a large amount of potassium is lost, the excitement of cardiac muscles will decrease, which may even lead to the severe weakness of cardiac muscles, and even lead to death to CKD.

Diet Principle for Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease

The diet principle for patients with chronic kidney disease is as follows: five low and one high: low potassium, low salt, low phosphorus, low fat, low protein ( except those with Nephrotic Syndrome), high vitamin.
1. low potassium high potassium content of foods should be forbidden: all kinds of edible fungi, potato, Chinese yam, cabbage, date, bananas, oranges, white fungus, peach, apricot, spinach, rape, etc.
2. low salt high salt content of foods: MSG, soda, cracker, fine dried noodles, soy sauce, etc. Patients whose blood pressure is not stable or has severe edema, should avoid salt. In general, every patient takes salt less than 3 g every day.
3. low phosphorus high phosphorus content of foods: marine food product and marine plant such as seaweed, laver, animal’s bowels, sesame, tea, honey, yolk, etc.
4. low fat note: It is forbidden to use animal oil while cooking. Take vegetable oil mainly, do not take in fatty food. It is better for the kidney disease patients to have corn oil contained unsaturated fatty acid.
5. high quality protein can take right amount of egg white, milk and fine lean meat, the amount of intake should be less than 100g. Don’t take every kind of nuts, such as peanuts, melon seeds and walnuts.
6. high vitamin take more vegetable and every kind of vitamin such as pear, apple, cucumber, tomato, etc.
Note: avoid spicy food ( such as onion, ginger, garlic, etc). Avoid smoke and liquor, and avoid dog meat. While being oliguria, patients needs to control the water intake. In general, the water intake should be less than the urine volume on the day before.

Is There a Solution to Reverse Diabetes

The number of diabetes is creasing. “Is there a solution to reverse diabetes” is the concern among diabetics. In fact, diabetes can be reversed with proper treatment and dietary restrictions and regulations which can help you to control your blood levels.
Diabetes does influence the entire body system. Diabetes occurs when either the body does not produce enough insulin or the body does not use insulin. Insulin is a kind of hormone which carries the sugar into the cells where the sugar is used for energy. When there is something wrong with the insulin, the intake of insulin becomes necessary and one needs medications to treat the condition. Early intervention helps you to minimize the effect of diabetes and even reverse it to a great extent.
Is there a solution to reverse diabetes?
It is not enough to restrict the diet alone. Proper treatment and dietary restriction are necessary to revere the diabetes.
● Proper treatment
The medications and insulin injection are the commonest way to treat diabetes. Patients are familiar to these two methods. Here, a new treatment – immunotherapy is recommended.
Immunotherapy is a brand new approach treatment which aims to correct the immune disorder and improve the immunity to fight against the diseases. There are so many therapies which may be used during treatment. Each therapies treats different illness condition. It can restore the pancreas and reduce the level of blood sugar by regulating the immune system.
● Diet change
A high fiber, plant based diet helps to control diabetes. A plant diet contains more alkaline, which helps in the prevention of cancer also.
Avoid carbohydrates, foods high in fat such as sugar, processed food.
White bread is not suitable to patients. Whole wheat bread can be preferred.
Bananas are high in carbohydrates and should be avoided.
Alcohol should be avoided.
Caffeine should not be taken.
Sweetened beverage should not be taken.
Diabetics also need to exercise to burn off the calories. Staying fit should be given high priority. Keep blood pressure under control.
Is there a solution to reverse diabetes? If you are seeking the ways to reverse your diabetes, you can consult the online experts who are glad to help you.

Can I Do Swimming and Take Exercise with Chronic Renal Failure

When you are diagnosed with Chronic Renal Failure, you may worry exercise may put strain on kidneys so you may stop all exercises. In fact, exercise is a very important part in treating Chronic Renal Failure.
Cardiovascular disease is a major death cause in Kidney Disease and dialysis patients. Exercise like doing swimming can improve HDL( good cholesterol) in the general population. However, doing exercise can accelerate the metabolism of muscle and increase the production of creatinine which can put extra burden on kidneys. Therefore, the patients who exercise regularly should have their doctors' clearance to decide if they can start an exercise program or not.
However, the patients should avoid the intense exercises such as football, basketball, etc. These exercises can consume too much oxygen to reduce oxygen supply to kidneys. Also, if Chronic Renal Failure caused by Polycystic Kidney Disease(PKD), they should also avoid touch sports in case of cysts rupturing. In Diabetic Nephropathy, they should protect their feet against wound.
They should choose mild and aerobic exercises such as running, swimming, bicycling, etc. Poor nutrition and aneamia may decrease the exercise capacity. It is very important for the patients to correct their poor nutrition condition and anemia by balancing nutrient supply and injection of EPO, etc.
As the patients with Chronic Renal Failure need to lower the protein intake tightly, in order to guarantee ample nutrient supply, they should increase the consumption of calorie accordingly. For the patients on dialysis, they may loss a large amount of protein in the process, they should increase the protein intake. It is essential for the patients to discuss their diet program before starting it.
If you are planing a exercise program and do not if it fits you, please consult our online experts.

Life Expectancy of Total Renal Failure

What is the life expectancy of total Renal Failure? This question is concerned by nearly all patients with the condition. However, it is a really hard question to answer for it is determined by many factors.
In total Renal Failure, the kidneys can not excrete the toxins from body and produce essential hormone to maintain normal physiological activity. Thus, a myriad of symptoms and complications will appear one after another.
Heart failure is a major death cause of total Renal Failure. It is mainly attributable to the accumulation of potassium and HCY in blood. Although dialysis may be used to remove metabolic wastes, it does not work in clearing HCY which combined with proteins in blood. Meanwhile, excessive fluid build up in blood vessels, which will certainly put extra strain on heart.
Apart from heart failure, hydrothorax and uremic brain disease, etc are also life threatening conditions for the patients with Renal Failure. These complications of total Renal Failure are the major influencing factors in shortening the life expectancy of total Renal Failure.
Dialysis can prolong the life expectancy of total Renal Failure, but it can not cure the disease at all. Some studies reveal that those with previous complications have 70% survival rate after five years on dialysis. However, the survival rate in those with per-existing diseases range between 29%~46%.
Renal transplantation is another way to extend life expectancy of total Renal Failure. It can retrieve normal renal function. However, it is very hard to get a compatible donor. Also, some potential risks can be inevitable like rejection, side effects of immunosuppressive drugs, cancer, etc.
In total Renal Failure, the kidney tissues and cells damaged significantly. If the patients can receive proper treatment to stimulate the regeneration of new cells, the impaired renal function will be reversed. In this way, the life expectancy of total Renal Failure will be extended greatly.

Cure for Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS)

Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is an medical item which is diagnosed by renal biopsy, which indicates that there are damaged intrinsic cells in the kidney and effectively treatment is so urgent. It is also one stage of IgA Nephritis. The treatment for Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) should be the combination of stem cell and traditional Chinese herbal remedy.
Firstly, stem cell are not familiar to people. It is a relatively new but also advanced therapy which has improved its effect in treating kidney disease especially that in the advanced stage. Stem cells are from cord blood, human marrows, etc, which have potential or ability to generate itself or differentiate into different functional cells which human body in short of. It enters human body through injection in vein. As we know, in the stage of Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), there must be some cells which have become nephrotic. So stem cell can play its role.
However, since stem cell’s growth needs a clean inner environment, we should create it so as to ensure the effect. There is no doubt that in Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) stage, kidney has damaged. The function of kidney is to secrete toxins which are metabolized by the body. So patients with Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) should also apply traditional Chinese herbas.
The first stage for the treatment of Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is promoting blood circulation, extending all levels of arteries, improve the micro-circulation. The principles we should follow are as follows:
1. Extend renal arteries and digestive arteries, improve micro-circulation, increase the effective blood perfusion volume of the whole body.
2. Improve the partial barrier of microcirculation, increase the supply of oxygen and strengthen the metabolism.
3. Relieve the disorder of inner environment which is caused by the insufficiency of oxygen.
4. Relieve the symptoms which are caused by toxic.
The second stage for the treatment of Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is dissolving the stasis. In this process, traditional Chinese herbas can help the discharge of immune complex. In addition, the active materials in herbal Medicine can activate a series of degradative enzyme, degrade the matrix and immune complex, thus blocking the chain which can deteriorate the fibrosis.
The third stage for the treatment of Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) goes as follows:
1. Activate the metabolism of damaged intrinsic cells in the kidney.
2. Improve the disorder of inner environment and the insufficiency of oxygen, thus creating a good environment for the repairing.
3. supply necessary materials which kidney needs such as vitamin, trace elements, amino acid and protein.

Signs of FSGS

FSGS, short for focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, is a kind of kidney disease, the damage of which takes place in renal glomeruli. The characteristic of histopathology is renal segmental scar, with or without adhesion in renal glomerular capillaries. Focal means that there are less than 50% of renal glomeruli which are influenced. Segmental means that there are partial leaflets are influenced. Glomerulosclerosis means that the whole renal glomeruli show hyaline change or scar. FSGS mostly takes place in children and youngsters, and generally, men are more than women. Few of them have got infected or had allergic reaction.
The initial symptom of FSGS is Nephrotic Syndrome in clinic. About two thirds of them have a large amount of proteinuria and serious swelling. The detailed signs are as follows:
1. Protein in urine is the first signs of FSGS.
The amount of protein can be as high as 1 to 30g per day.
The presence of protein in the urine could cause it to appear foamy. Sometimes no symptoms are experienced but protein is detected in the urine during a routine check. When large amounts of protein are lost in the urine and excess fluid causes the ankles to swell, this is known as Nephrotic Syndrome, a condition which can be caused by a number of kidney diseases.
2. About half of them have hematuria, most of which is microscopic hematuria. Gross hematuria is rarely seen.
3. Symptoms of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis can also include loss of appetite, swollen ankles, fluid retention and increased weight.
Besides these, we can also divide the symptoms according to the age: Adult FSGS and Children FSGS.
Adult FSGS:
It is reported that about 60% of cellular FSGS have creatinine which is more than 2mg/dl. But typical FSGS patients who have increased creatinine can only account for 10%.
Children FSGS:
The clinical manifestations of Children FSGS are similar with those of Adult FSGS, the main signs of which are Nephrotic Syndrome. Compared with adults, the rate of high blood pressure and renal failure is lower. Most of Children FSGS develops slowly, which leads to renal failure at last. A few of them develop at a rapid speed into renal failure. If FSGS is treated timely, their condition can be reversible.

FSGS (Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis)Relapse

As we mentioned in the premier articles, FSGS (Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis is a stage of IgA Nephritis, a kind of kidney disease according to the pathological diagnosis internationally. FSGS (Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis is a traditional term, which on the view of cytology, is termed as renal glomerular epithelial cell disease. Segmental means the glomerulosclerosis does not diffuse to the whole glomeruli. In this stage, symptoms such as proteinuria, occult blood and edema will occur if not controlled well.
For patients with FSGS (Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis), what troubled them most is the recurrence or relapse of this disease. Why?
In most countries all around the world, patients who are diagnosed with FSGS (Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis)mainly choose hormone or (and) immunosuppressive agent to treat. As a matter of fact, both of these two therapies mainly focus on the diminishing of the symptoms such as protein in urine, red blood cells in urine, edema, and so on. For example, if patients have serious edema, they are suggested to take diuretic.
However, hormone, immunosuppressive agent and diuretic do not repair the damaged intrinsic cells that we mentioned. Although the symptoms disappear for the time being, they will recur again.
An increasing number of patients start to realize the disadvantages of western medicine. And more and more of them are surfing a new method which can give them new hope.
China is a country with long history, and it is also a well-known country which is prominent for its Chinese medicine, which has developed for thousands of years.
In recent years, based on traditional Chinese medicine, there exist many breakthroughs for traditional Chinese medicine also has some shortcomings. For example, it must be boiled before it is taken, which can lead to low use ratio and what’s more, cooking costs time. Time is valuable especially for those who are under suffering from kidney disease. They want to get timely treatment, which is also important for the recovery. So after years of trial and error, traditional Chinese herbal medicine comes out, which proved by many patients can repair the kidney intrinsic cells and recover renal function.
Three processes how traditional Chinese herbal medicine goes as follows:
Firstly, invigorate the circulation of blood and dissolve the stasis, which can improve the micro-circulation.
Secondly, clear away the stasis and immune complex. Degrade the fibrosis and the deterioration chain which is caused by renal fibrosis. Through this step, the load burden of the kidney is decreased.
Thirdly, repair the damaged intrinsic cells and rebuild normal renal function.
All in all, after the intrinsic cells are repaired, FSGS (Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis)will not relapse easily.

Management of Renal Failure

1. Observe carefully. Patients with renal failure should observe body weight, blood pressure, and the condition of water retention.
2. Renal failure patients who have vomiting and frequent diarrhea should observe whether there is disorder of water and electrolyte. If there appear some symptoms, patients should inform doctors as soon as possible. If there appear abnormal manifestations due to brain or low potassium, patients may begin offend themselves. In this case, inform doctors immediately.
3. If patients with renal failure can taste ammoniacal odour while breathing, and they are easy to get stomatitis, patients should take care of mouth.
4. Patients should take food rich in calories, vitamin, low but high quality protein. In addition, we should also adjust the intake of protein. Those who have high blood pressure should restrict the intake of salt.
5. Treatment plays the most critical role in the management of renal failure. Most of kidney diseases are caused by immune disorder. So immunotherapy is created in Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital, which can be divided into 6 steps: immune diagnosis, immune clearance, immune inhibition, immune tolerance, immune adjustment and immune protection.

The Treatment Methods of Renal Failure

What are the treatment methods of Renal Failure? In this passage, experts will introduce some methods about how to treat Renal Failure.
1. If renal failure is caused by insufficiency of blood, patients should supply water so as to supply enough body fluid. If infected, patients should take specific measures.
2. Most doctors will let patients receive dialysis since the kidneys have lost function, which is used to help clear the toxins and wastes in the body. If patients with Acute Renal Failure can not be controlled well, Acute Renal Failure may develop into Chronic Renal Failure. Then patients have to receive dialysis when it is into Uremia.
3. Diet control. For patients with renal failure, their renal function has been damaged. After food is digested, it will produce toxins and waste, which can not be discharged out well, so patients should pay attention to the diet so as not to bring burden to the body.
4. Kidney transplant
Patients with end stage renal failure should receive long time dialysis. When patient’condition is good, they will embrace qualified life. Kidney transplant is a big operation, and we can also call it large project. Although the operation is advanced now, doctors still should do much evaluation before doing the operation. And only in this way, can the operation be successful.
Unluckily, not every patient can have chance to receive kidney transplant for there may be not a person who can supply a proper kidney. So patients should wait.
“Wash kidney” means that by filtration, some substances in the blood will be discharged. That is to say, by men, harmful substances in the body will be discharged out from body such as excessive water and salt, which can make patients recover.
At present, there are mainly two kinds of methods which are used to “wash” the kidney: hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. Hemodialysis machine is a kind of special machine, which is used to replace the function of kidney. Peritoneal dialysis takes the peritoneum as the filter, and discharges the toxins in the body.

Side Effects of FSGS Treatment

Patients with FSGS (Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis)are seeing doctors here and there, seeking a new hopeful therapeutic method which can help them get rid of sufferings. Actually, FSGS (Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis)is one stage of IgA nephritis.
FSGS (Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis)is a kind of common primary renal glomerular disease, which has symptoms like Nephrotic Syndrome, accounting for 55%. FSGS (Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis) belong to refractory kidney disease for in most cases, it represents as steroidresistant and has bad prognosis. The most common medicine which is used to treat FSGS (Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis)is hormone. The side effects of hormone to treat FSGS (Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis)go as follows:
Long time excessive use of hormone may lead to central obesity, moon-shaped face, purple striae, thinner skin, myasthenia, sweeny, hypokalemia, edema, nausea, vomiting, high blood pressure, infection,etc. For children, long time use of hormone will influence the growth and even leads to mental symptoms.
From the above-mentioned, we can get a conclusion that we had better reduce the amount of hormone and it will be best to find out another therapeutic method? What’s the treatment principle?
Firstly, FSGS (Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis)shows that IgA nephritis developed into middle stage. At the moment, protein in urine has occurs and serum creatinine has risen, which is because the wide deposition of immune complex in membrane area, with damaged intrinsic cells. IgA nephritis is a pathological diagnosis disease, the clinical symptoms of which are recurrent gross hematuria with or without protein in urine.
For patients with FSGS (Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis), their kidney is in a condition of insufficiency of blood and oxygen, which is the critical stage causing pathological damage. If in this stage, patients with FSGS (Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis)don’t receive effective and systematic treatment, renal glomerular membrane will not be repaired, occult blood in urine, protein in urine will just disappear for a while. If medicine is stopped, these symptoms will recur again. Even serum creatinine will increase accordingly. Edema may also recur consequently. So patients with FSGS (Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis)should find out another therapeutic methods to treat FSGS (Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis)thoroughly.
Traditional Chinese herbal medicine can repair the damaged renal glomerular membrane when the active materials play roles in patients with FSGS (Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis)’ body. After that, filtration barrier will be repaired. Protein in urine, occult blood in urine will disappear forever.

Diet for Patients with Kidney Failure

Kidney is an organ whose main function is producing urine and secreting. Once the kidney is damaged, the metabolism products such as creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, urea acid and so on will not discharge normally. With time passing by, more and more toxins will accumulate into the body, leading to uremia if not treated in time. What’s more, patients with kidney failure also want to have a detailed food list to assist the treatment and recover soon. The experts in kidney failure suggest the following the points:
Firstly, patients with kidney failure should take in good quality protein. What is good quality protein? It is protein which can produce less nitrogen in the metabolism. Nitrogen as we know should have been discharged out. When kidney is damaged, it can not filtrate the nitrogen normally. So patients should have good quality protein which can produce less nitrogen such as milk, lean meat and fish, etc.
2. Patients with kidney failure should also take in more energy. They can choose sweet potatoes, potatoes, apples and so on when they feel hungry. In addition, if the kidney failure is caused by Diabetes, they should control the intake of sugar.
3. Patients with kidney failure should also take in more food which contains vitamin, for in the process of suffering from kidney failure, they have lost vitamin. Especially for those who are under dialysis, in the process of dialysis, there must be lost of vitamins.
4. Patients with kidney failure should also complement some minerals. Most patients with kidney failure have had more or less disorder of electrolyte such as low calcium, high phosphorus and so on. In addition, if they have had little urine, they should keep low salt diet, and the total intake amount in one day should be less than 3g.
5. Patients with kidney failure should adjust the intake amount of water when patients have little urine, edema, high blood pressure, heart failure, and so on. In addition, patients who are under dialysis should also control the intake of water so as to prevent the deterioration of edema, heart failure, and so on. If the urine amount is more than 1000ml, and patients do not have edema, high blood pressure, heart failure and other complications, it is not necessary for them to limit the intake of water.
Last but not least, patients with kidney failure should also decrease the intake of fat for high fat in the blood is also a factor which leads to the progression of kidney failure. They should reduce the intake of saturated fatty acid such as animal fat, fat pork, and so on. In contrast, they can increase the intake of unsaturated fatty acid such as plant oil, fish oil, and so on. In addition, they should also take in less or don’t eat aninal’s internal organs.

What Causes Skin to Itch in Kidney Failure

What causes skin to itch in kidney failure? Patients with kidney failure often complain that they are suffering from itch in skin, which are tormenting them day and night. Medicines can not achieve satisfactory effect and even dialysis can not make the symptom relieve, either. The reasons why itch occurs in those with kidney failure are as follows.
1. The retention of metabolism caused by nitrogen stimulates skin, which can lead to itch in skin. On the other hand, the shrink of sebaceous gland and sweat gland also leads to dry skin, resulting in itch in skin.
2. Itch caused by polyneuropathy of uremia belongs to Neurogenic skin disease, which can not achieve effect even after dialysis.
3. For patients with chronic renal failure, electrolyte disturbances leads calcium to deposite in skin, which is mainly related to the hyperparathyroidism.
4. Another thought is that patient with renal failure can not secrete the metabolism such as urea, which will discharge out together with sweat, leading to itch in the whole body. In recent years, it is reported that skin itch accompanied by uremia patients can revive soon after parathyroid gland is cut off. So it is generally believed that itch in skin is closely related to excessive parathormone.

5. Itch in skin also may be a sign of Diabetes. There are many factors which can lead patients with Diabetes to itch. Firstly, surrounding endings of nerves are easy to get inflammation. Increased glucose in skin can also stimulate the skin to itch. Secondly, increased sugar in skin and increased lactic acid will also lead to decreased sweat and drier skin, thus resulting in itch. In addition, if the sugar in the blood is too high, mould will invade and itch may occur as well.
From the above mentioned, we can understand why itch in skin comes into being. How to deal with it? It may be the main question patients with renal failure are concerned about. After the inner intrinsic cells are damaged, the inner environment is clean, and kidneys functions well, itch in skin will disappear naturally and consequently. Chinese Medicine can achieve this effect. For more information about Chinese Medicine, please consult the experts online or email us.

Why High Phosphorus and Low Calcium in Renal Failure

When kidney disorder develops into renal failure stage, patients will have high phosphorus and low calcium. Why? Experts said that when it comes to this, we must mention a term PHPT, which means that in renal failure stage, parathyroid glands secretes more parathyroid hormone, which leads to the unbalance of calcium and phosphorus metabolism. The main manifestations are changing in bone, stone in urinary tract, high phosphorus and low calcium. Among those who are suffering from renal failure, females are more than males, who sometimes have medical history.
What can we do to improve this situation? Can it reverse? Absolutely. Once patients are suffering from high phosphorus and low calcium, it indicates that patients have developed into advanced stage of renal failure. In addition to these, patients can also have poor appetite, nausea, and so on.
However, please do not loose confidence. As long as we take effective measures, the above mentioned symptoms can relieve and even disappear. In our Hospital, we have Chinese Medicine and stem cell transplant, the combination of which can not only create a clean environment, repair the damaged ones, but also differentiate into necrotic cells, thus recovering renal function. In this case, phosphorus and calcium level turn normal.

Diet for Patients with Renal Failure in Advanced Stage

Diet for patients with renal failure in advanced stage who are not under dialysis is as follows:
1. Keep low salt diet. Generally, patients should take in 2 to 3g salt every day. However, those who have severe edema, high blood pressure or heart failure should keep the intake of salt under 1g. After urine increase or edema disappears, the intake of protein can turn 2 to 3g.
2. Avoid food which is rich in potassium. Disorder of potassium metabolism is common, which should be adjustment immediately or else it will damage heart as well. Food which is rich in potassium is such as tomatoes, cabbage, garlic, fresh mushroom, kelp, peach, date, bananas and so on.
3. Avoid food which is rich in phosphorus. Usually, in advanced stage of renal failure, patients are in high phosphorus state. At the same time, long time declined absorption of calcium of guts lead to high phosphorus and low calcium. Long time intake of food rich in phosphorus can also lead to the unbalance of calcium and phosphorus. Food rich in phosphorus is such as sea food, internal organs of animals, peanuts, nuts, egg yellow, tea and so on.
4. Keep low protein intake. Patients in advanced stage of renal failure should take in good quality protein such as lean meat, egg white and milk, etc. The total intake of protein should be not more than 20 to 30g. For those whose renal function deteriorates, they should control the intake of food more strictly according to Ccr. If Ccr is less than 5ml/min, the intake of protein should be 18 to 20g per day. If Ccr is 5 to 10 ml/min, the intake of protein should be 20 to 25g. If Ccr is more than 10, the intake of protein should be at 25 to 35g per day.
5. Keep low fat diet.

Why Should PKD Patients Have Low Salt?

Why should PKD patients have low salt? With the growing of the cysts day by day, the bigger one will squeeze the renal nephrons in the kidney, including the renal tubules. Renal tubules have the function that filtrate original urine. When patients are suffering from PKD, the renal tubules will also have abnormal proliferation, which leads to the retention of original urine, thus causing edema or swelling in the patients’ body.
In this case, if PKD patients take in much or normal amount of salt, after salt enters patients’ body, it will combine with sodium, which leads to the retention of water, as well. In this case, the blood content will also increase and blood pressure will become higher.
Besides diet, PKD patients should also attach importance to treatment. Only when we take effective treatment measures, can we gain fundamental effect. Immunotherapy is recommended to treat PKD, which has proved to have good effect in clinic. Generally, the immunotherapy can be divided into 6 steps which are systematic diagnosis, immune inhibiting, immune tolerance, immune adjustment, immune protection, and immune clearance. In the whole process, we can not ignore Chinese Medicine. It is also applied to create a proper treatment environment for the treatment of immunotherapy. The function of anticoagulation, preventing thrombosis of Chinese Medicine can also make up the insufficiency of immune treatment. What’s more, Chinese Medicine can decrease the side effect in the immune treatment, which can assure the effect of immune treatment.
We believe that after the immunotherapy, PKD patients can recover and they are not necessary to have low salt and can take in what they like.

How to Treat Creatinine 1.73

What does creatinine 1.73 mean? How is kidney damaged when creatinine is 1.73? To know about it clear, we should first explain two concepts: what is creatinine and what is the normal level of creatinine.
Creatinine is a kind of metabolism waste which is from muscles, and generally as long as we exercise or even speak, the body will metabolize creatinine. The ratio is 20g muscles to 1g creatinine. It is a kind of toxin, which should be discharged out of the body through urine, and kidney as we know plays a role of filtration. So from the above, we get a conclusion that if there is something wrong in the kidney, the filtration function will be damaged, and the creatinine level will increase accordingly.
How about the normal range of serum creatinine? The normal one in China is 0.5 to 1.2. In the world, chronic kidney disease is divided into 5 stages. In the first stage, the creatinine level is normal and in the second stage, the creatinine level is 1.6-2.0mg/dL. So from the above, we can know that the creatinine 1.73 shows that chronic kidney disease patients have developed into the second stage. In the second stage, the creatinine is 1.6-2.0mg/dL or 133-177μmol/L. In this stage, there are in most of time no obvious symptoms and patients can not find it out unless they have an examination. However, patients needn’t worry for as long as chronic kidney disease patients adopt treatment, the damage can be reversible.
According to the international diagnosis, more than 95% of kidney diseases are caused by human immune disorder. In most western countries, western medicine such as hormones and immunosuppressive agents are used to control the excessive immune response. In this way, the immune damage inside of the kidney can be controlled for the time being. However, the immune complex will deposit onto the kidney, which leads to further immune response again.

Can Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease Eat Bananas

Can patients with chronic kidney disease eat bananas? Bananas as we know, are fruit which taste yummy, delicious and contain kinds of element and nutrition. In addition, it can also help relax bowel, so bananas are very popular among people. What’s more, when some one gets sick, he will also be persuaded to have more fruit such as bananas to recover soon.
However, is it good for patients with Nephrotic Syndrome to eat bananas?
Bananas contain much sodium. Patients with acute nephritis, chronic nephritis, renal insufficiency can not have bananas for it contains much sodium. Especially patients with edema and high blood pressure can not have bananas. Long time having bananas for them can accelerate the edema or high blood pressure. In addition, patients with renal insufficiency can not have bananas,either. What’s more, for those who have dyspepsia and diarrhea, they can not have bananas, either.
Besides bananas, patients with chronic kidney disease should also pay attention to the following aspects:
Firstly, chronic kidney disease patients should control the intake of protein. If the supply of protein is too much, it will produce much nitrogen, which can increase burden to the kidney. Patients with Nephrotic Syndrome are an exception for they lost lots of protein in urine.
Secondly, chronic kidney disease patients should also limit the intake of salt and water. Those with serious edema, high blood pressure and little urine should keep low salt diet. The intake of water should keep at 800-1200ml.At the same time, salted vegetables, pickles, salted eggs and tuber mustard contains much sodium, which also should be limited. If the edema disappears, blood pressure declines, and urine increases, they can also take in salt and the amount should be kept at 2 to 3g per day.
Thirdly, chronic kidney disease patients should have more delicate food which can play roles as diuresis. Food which can play roles as diuresis are such as carp, crucian, ewe’s milk, watermelon, Chinese watermelon, mung bean, red beans and so on.
Fourthly, chronic kidney disease patients should also have food which is rich in vitamin such as fresh fruit and vegetables, both of which can do good to the recover of renal function.

Survival Rate of Kidney Failure

When it comes to the survival rate of kidney failure, we should divide kidney failure into acute kidney failure and chronic kidney failure. Generally, not all patients with acute kidney failure can survive. If treated well, about 80% of them can recover and get rid of dialysis. As for chronic kidney failure, if the treatment is scientific and timely, survival rate can be increased.
In clinic, because of the unscientific diagnosis, patients sometimes are treated by mistake. As a matter of fact, there are many kinds of kidney diseases and the immune complex can deposit at any place of the kidney, and the damage of cells can also take place anywhere such as epithelial cells of renal glomerulus and renal tubules. If we can not make clear the above, the diagnosis may be wrong and the treatment is useless accordingly.
In our Hospital, we have special test which can exactly tell the disease, where the immune complex is and the amount of the immune complex, which lays a good foundation for the treatment plan of the doctors. This is the immune diagnosis.
Next, patients with chronic kidney failure will come into immune clearance. In this step, blood purifications are applied such as dialysis, blood filtration, blood perfusion and plasma exchange, which can clear away the immune complex. Then, chronic kidney failure patients come into immune tolerance, immune adjustment, immune adjustment and immune protection. In these steps, some medicines are applied, which is used to repair the damaged intrinsic cells and increase the immune ability of the patients. In this way, not only the symptoms are relieved, but also they will not recur.
Immunotherapy in our Hospital is the combination of Chinese medicine and western medicine. This is why it can achieve such good effects. For more information, please consult us online or leave a message.

How to Treat Kidney Failure Caused by High blood pressure?

Kidney failure can be caused by many factors such as primary kidney disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, and so on. In this passage, we mainly introduce the treatment of renal failure caused by high blood pressure in detail.
Chinese Medicine has the curative effect for kidney disease, which can treat the kidney disease from root. (1)Chinese Medicine is abstracted from Chinese herbs, without any side-effect. (2) With the help of penetrant and osmosis devices, effective Chinese Medicine are penetrated into renal lesion by external application. (3) The therapeutic mechanism of this therapy is to block the process of renal fibrosis, dilate blood vessels, promote the micro-blood circulation, repair the damaged renal intrinsic cells, and remove the stasis in channels. At the same time, Chinese Medicine has the effect like anti-inflammation, anti-coagulation, preventing blood viscosity and degrading extracellular matrixes. The main functions of Chinese Medicine are: block+ repair.
For high blood pressure, Chinese Medicine can extend blood vessels, including micro-blood vessels, relieve high blood pressures condition and blood vessels tension condition, prevent high blood pressure from damaging renal endothelial cell, promote the blood circulation.
As we mentioned, Chinese Medicine can only repair the damaged cell. In renal failure stage, there must be necrotic cells, which should be regenerated with the help of stem cell. Stem Cells Transplant is a brand new method in Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital. Stem cells have the ability of self-renewal and multi-replication. They can differentiate into various kinds of renal cells which the kidney need, and then the new born cells can replace the necrotic cells, thus achieving the purpose of rebuilding the renal structure.
At present, with doctors gaining more and more experience in clinic, the above therapy such as Chinese Medicine and stem cell have become combined therapy, which is part of immunotherapy in our Hospital.

What Can I Do to Prevent Kidney Failure

What can patients do to prevent kidney failure? This is a question which is put forward by patients who are diagnosed with kidney disease which is not into serious stage. In china, it can be called compensatory stage. In this stage, serum creatinine is still normal. But GFR(glomerular filtration rate) declined. Patients even have no symptoms or feel any discomfort. They find out it maybe because they take an examination by chance.
Renal failure(Kidney Failure) can be divided into acute renal failure and chronic renal failure. Acute renal failure (Kidney Failure) develops rapidly, which is often due to the insufficiency of blood flow in kidney such as wound and so on. Chronic renal failure is often due to long time kidney lesion. With time going by, kidney function begins to decline and renal failure may take place. How to prevent kidney failure(renal failure)?
Firstly, if kidney failure(renal failure) is due to insufficient supply of blood or due to bleeding, patients are required to have more body fluid and water. If kidney failure(renal failure) is due to infection, patients should deal with infection first.
Secondly, kidney failure(renal failure) patients should control the intake of food. Kidney disease leads more toxin to accumulate into the body. Renal function is damaged, which means the more patients eat, the more toxins will accumulate into the body for food have metabolism and produce nitrogen waste especially some bean products. If diet is not under control, it will worsen the kidney damage and give kidney more burden.
Thirdly, kidney failure(renal failure) patients should control the amount of water intake. Since kidney function is damaged, it can not discharge water normally. If water intake is not reduced, kidney will suffer from more burden.
Fourthly, kidney failure(renal failure) patients should control the intake of sodium. Salt contains much sodium. If kidney failure(renal failure) patients take in more sodium, water retention will take place, which may even lead to the heart function failure and lung function failure. In addition, it may worsen the renal failure.

Stages of Renal Failure in Women

Generally, renal failure in women can be divided into 3 stages, which go as follows:
The first stage is the beginning stage. In this stage, some patients have suffered from damage from acute tubular necrosis, such as low blood pressure, insufficiency of blood, there are not so obvious damage in the renal parenchyma. So in this stage, acute renal failure can be prevented. With more obvious damage in renal tubular epithelial cells, GFR will decline suddenly and there will be more symptoms such as acute renal failure. Patients come into maintaining stage.
2. Patients with renal failure come into maintaining stage, which can also be called oliguria stage, which generally lasts for 7 days. But sometimes, it lasts for as long as 4 to 6 weeks. The renal glomerular filtration rate keeps at a low level, so patients may have oliguria, which means that the urine amount is less than 400ml every day. Some patients can also have urine which is more than 400ml. Their condition is usually not so bad and their prognosis is usually good. However, with the disease developing, symptoms will appear more if not treated well. Infection is a severe complication for acute renal failure.
The third stage is recovery stage. In this stage, the renal tubular cells regenerate, recover, and the renal glomerular filtration rate increases even to normal range. Patients who have oliguria begin to have more urine. The amount of urine is as much as 3000ml, which lasts for 1 to 3 weeks. Compared with the recovery of renal glomerular filtration rate, the recovery of renal glomerular epithelial cells’ function is slow, which may last for several months sometimes. A few patients may have different degree of renal structure insufficiency and functional insufficiency.
