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.
