Her creatinine level 3.8mg/dl which is really high level for a little child.
The creatinien is a kind of micromocule toxin which can be eliminatd by the
kidneys whne they can work well but for your daughter, her kidneys have been
damaged in a certain degree. Her kidney can not work well and eliminate the
toxin and the metabolite very well, so that the creatinine level rise up and up.
The toxin can pollute her blood and her kidney. With the circulation of the
blood, the toxin will hurt the other organs.
There are more than 1 million glamorous in one kidney. The glamorous in her
kidneys can be divided to 3 parts. One part of glamorous are healthy, they are
maintaining the rest of his renal function. One part of her glamorous are been
damaged due to lack of blood and oxygen in her kidneys and inflammation reaction
in her kidneys. The last part of glamorous have been got sclerosis and they
can't work any more .
What we can do for her now is to help her protect her healthy glomerulus and
prevent them from getting damaged by offer a good inner environment. For the
damaged renal cells we should offer enough blood and oxygen to her kidneys then
make the damaged renal cells get repaired . Only by this way can her renal
function get improved and get recovery.
Or just taking the prednisone or other immunosupressant, she will get replase
frequently and every relapse will aggravate the disease progress. The dosage of
the prednisione will larger and larger.
We have treated a 13 yrs girl from Venezuela, she had the similar illness as
your daughter,obviously her disease condition is more seriouely than your
daughter. Before coming to our hospital, she suffers from Nephrotic Syndrome
since 5 yrs, for so many years she was on medicines, such as Prednisone,
cyclophosphamide, but illness was not controlled well, when she was 11 yrs,
creatinine level suddenly rised to 2.2 mg/dl, then to 5.1 mg/dl, doctor
suggested dialysis, the little girl refused to do dialysis, her parents were
very anxious, and found our hospital on website, then took her here for
treatments, after 30 days treatments, her creatinine level reduced to 2.4 mg/dl
from 5.3 mg/dl, after taking another three months consolidation treatment at
home, now she got fully recovery. I want to share her contact information to
you, but her parents refused, her parents said for so many years her daughter's
classmates and other people all think her daughter is very healthy, just a
little fat, but no one known the fat is caused by medicines, they hope her
daughter can grow up normally as other children, so they rejected my
request.

Symptoms And Treatment For Complex Kidney Cyst
Complex kidney cysts need to be taken very seriously, because there is a risk that they might turn carcinogenic.Kidneys are part of the urinary system and take care of filtering toxic impurities out of the blood. As people grew older, there are chances of formation of kidney cyst. These cysts are also alternatively called renal cysts. There are two types; simple and complex kidney cysts. Simple cysts are spherical sacs, which might appear anywhere inside the kidneys. These thin-walled sacs are filled with liquid or blood. There is a 50 percent risk of simple kidney cyst occurring in persons over the age of 50 years. Older the person, greater is the risk of having it. There is no risk of simple cyst causing kidney cancer.
Complex kidney cyst many different symptoms are observed. They include:
Urinary tract infection
Blood in urine
Headache
Abdominal pain
Lower back pain
High blood pressure
Frequent urination
Fever
Treatment For Complex Kidney Cyst
Complex Kidney cysts can be treated effectively with the help of different treatment methods.Chinese medicine is a very safe treatment, no pain, no side effect and no any harm to the human body, the percentages of cure is about 95%, , Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy, it can quickly remove the toxins in the kidney, improve the environment in the kidney tissues, repair the damaged kidney tissues and revive the disordered cell membrane. Besides, it can eliminate the accumulation of glomerular matrix, and recover glomerular filtration function.

Anemia In Renal Failure
In patients with chronic kidney disease, normochromic normocytic anaemia mainly develops from decreased renal synthesis of erythropoietin. The anaemia becomes more severe as the GFR (glomerular filtration rate) progressively decreases. No reticulocyte response occurs, red blood cell survival is decreased, and there is an associated increased bleeding tendency due to uraemia-induced platelet dysfunction.
1. Renal failure affect hematopoiesis
Renal failure, in addition to the damaged kidneys produce erythropoietin, hemoglobin, the oxygen affinity of lower units hemoglobin increase the utilization of oxygen is relatively serious, kidney ischemia, resulting in the reduction of the main stimulus for erythropoietin, leading to erythrocyte generation of EPO significantly reduced. There are toxins inhibit bone marrow, renal failure when the accumulation of certain toxic substances in the blood has a direct inhibitory effect on bone marrow, leading to hematopoietic dysfunction, and thus give rise to anemia.
2. Kidney failure cause red blood cell destruction:
Some patients with chronic renal failure increased red blood cell destruction is also one of the reasons leading to renal failure anemia, which is due to the high polyamine hyperlipidemia in uremia lead to shortened red blood cell life occurred autolysis uremic the RBC metabolic disorders and increased erythrocyte fragility The microangiopathy red blood cells by mechanical damage and destruction caused by red blood cell autolysis Hypersplenism. The patients had better watch out.
3. renal failure, the reason will lead to the emergence of anemia, mostly due to insufficient blood volume, hypoperfusion caused. This is the case should go to the formal medical treatment.
Renal failure patients with anemia most patients will appear, so patients with mental Do not panic, maintain calm and collected. With the medical treatment, kidney failure, recovery of normal renal function, renal anemia will come good.

Traditional Chinese Medicine Treat Polycystic Kidney Disease
Polycystic kidney disease is a kidney disorder passed down through families in which many cysts form in the kidneys, causing them to become enlarged.Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is a genetic disease and there is no cure or treatment to stop the cysts from growing. However, there are treatments available to decrease symptoms and possibly slow the rate of kidney damage. Over time, the extensive kidney damage will lead to kidney failure at which point dialysis or a kidney transplant is needed for survival. A healthy kidney transplanted into someone with PKD will not grow cysts.
So Why does traditional chinese medicine treat polycystic kidney disease ?
Chinese medicine that treating the root cause of the disease and avoid the boundedness of surgical treatment.Traditional chinese medicine can speed up focal blood circulation. It taking away the cyst fluid,chinese medicine can lower the inside pressure and restrain the continuing secretion of epithelial cells on the cyst walls, reduce the production of cyst fluid, shrink the cyst and effectively prevent the enlargement of the cyst thus reducing the damage to the renal tissues.
When the clinical manifestations appear, it is the best treating opportunity for Polycystic Kidney Disease. Therefore, we should not ignore the manifestations in the early stage of the disease. Detect early and receive treatment early. Choose the correct treatment method and block the renal fibrosis caused by Polycystic Kidney Disease so as to prevent the progressing of the disease.
How Does Chinese Medicine Treatment For Polycystic Kidney Disease
Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) here refers to autosomal dominant inherited disease. Except changing the causing gene, we have no method to remove the cysts completely. If you mean the cure is to make those cysts disappear, there is no cure for Polycystic Kidney Disease for changing the gene is still in experimental stage and kidney transplantation are not suitable to all patients, but we can shrink the cysts, not affecting patients with Polycystic Kidney Disease. In treating PKD, we must control the cysts growing, protect the surviving nephrons and recover renal functions.
Controlling the cysts growing
With genetic flaw, urine tends to be blocked in the joint of kidney tubules and renal collecting ducts. As there is interspace between its epithelial cells and its wall, the blocked urine will cause cysts and the epithelial cells of cysts secrete fluid into the cysts. The cysts are growing. So in order to control their size, we must promote fluid in cysts drain out and prevent the epithelial cells of cysts secreting fluid into cysts. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy has those functions. By external application, the effective medicines will arrive at the lesion and inactivate the cells of cysts, achieving the goal of restraining fluid secreting. Though promoting blood circulation and increasing the permeability of capillaries on the surface of cysts, internal fluid will drain out along with urine. The balance of those two courses keep the cysts in a benign situation that they never get bigger.
Protect the surviving nephrons
After the cysts are controlled, the stressed renal tissues by cysts are released and the blood flow in them become smooth, which greatly improve the lack of blood and oxygen in kidneys. It is Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy that dredges microcirculation and improve internal environment. Provided with enough nutrients, the surviving nephrons can work well in the relative mild environment.
Recover renal functions
To recover renal functions, we have to deal with the damaged renal tissues. Actually, they are rooted in the destruction of renal intrinsic cells, because those cells messively proliferate, tress capillaries and make nephrons lack of oxygen and blood, which all cause necrosis of nephrons. Besides providing a relative clean environment, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy also offer necenssary substances for the body to repair the lesion and strenthen immunity of patients with PKD.

Chinese Medicine Treatment For Polycystic Kidney Disease
Polycystic Kidney Disease is also named Potter Syndrome or Perlman Syndrome. It is not a rare kidney disease. Polycystic Kidney Disease has two types. One is ARPKD (Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease) and the other is ADPKD (Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease). ARPKD often occur among infants, which is rare in clinical cases; ADPKD usually occur among young and middle-aged people and it can also occur among people at any age.
In most cases, PKD is ADPKD. It will be passed down to their children at 50% if parent has PKD. Usually, clinical symptoms will show up when patients are young and middle-aged people. The main symptoms include pain in flanks, hematuria, edema and hypertension etc, which can be accompanied by polycystic liver, polycystic spleen and calculus. Cysts can become bigger and bigger as patients grow up because the epithelial cells of cysts secret cyst fluid , the cyst fluid build up and can not be discharged out. If the cyst is so big that it bursts, it can lead to intra-abdominal infection. If the cyst has pressed nephrons, it can lead to local obstruction in kidney. As a result, it may damage the renal function or even worse, it can develop into renal failure and even uremia. In that situation, it is difficult for us to treat it effectively. Therefore, patients should pay more attention to it.
To treat cyst about or more than5cm in diameter, Puncture sclerotherapy operation and Laparoscopic Renal Cyst Decortication are adopted in western medicine. Unfortunately, it will make room for the growth of small cysts after the big cysts are removed. When the pressure around these small ones is lower, they can grow more quickly. Eventually, you have to take another operation. Therefore, operation is just the expedient and the effect is limited.
The proper way to treat it is to adopt Micro-Chinese Medicine. The active substances in Micro-Chinese Medicine can improve the micro-circulation in renal capillaries and soften the cyst wall, which increases the permeability of the cyst wall. As a result, the cyst fluid can be taken out. The most important thing is Micro-Chinese Medicine can inhibit the secretion of cyst cells so that the cyst would not grow up.

Side Effect of Insulin For Diabetes Patients
Diabetes patients especially those with type 1 diabetes need to inject insulin so as to survive. However, with time passing by, more and more patients realize that insulin has side effects, which goes as follows. (And in addition, in the last of the article, we will introduce a new therapy which can treat diabetes and has no side effect. )
1. Low blood sugar
Low blood sugar is the main side effects, which may even threaten diabetic patienst lives. So we must control the amount and put some sugar or sweet biscuit in the pocket for low blood sugar can take place after we take strenuous exercise or when the injection amount of insulin is not enough.
2. increased body weight
It is also a side effect which is commonly seen. Insulin can promote the combination of protein and fat. So if patients with diabetes do not control the intake of heat, the body weight will increase. In this case, the injection of insulin of will increase, which causes vicious circle.
3. edema or swelling
Edema or swelling can lead to slight retention of water and sodium, some of which appear in the face and limbs of the patients with diabetes.
4. allergic reaction
Allergic reaction usually takes place in those who inject insulin abstracted from animals. Rash or itch appears in the injection place. What’s worse, some may even suffer shock.
5. atrophic basting fat
Atrophic basting fast is also mostly seem in diabetics with animal insulin injection. In addition, it is usually seen in the first place where patients inject insulin.
6. resistance of insulin
Patient who inject insulin for a long time will show resistance in the body.
Last but not least, considering the side effects of insulin, we will introduce a new therapy: stem cell therapy. For diabetic patients, pancreas islet β cells are damaged, which leads to insufficient secretion of insulin. In this case, the blood sugar will increase. If this can not be treated or controlled well, it will lead to systematic disorder and a series of complications will occur as well. 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.
Hba1c and Diagnosis of Diabetes
HbA1c reflects average plasma glucose over the previous eight to 12 weeks. It can be performed at any time of the day and does not require any special preparation such as fasting. These properties have made it the preferred test for assessing glycaemic control in people with diabetes. More recently, there has been substantial interest in using it as a diagnostic test for diabetes and as a screening test for persons at high risk of diabetes.
An HbA1c of 6.5% is recommended as the cut point for diagnosing diabetes. A value less than 6.5% does not exclude diabetes diagnosed using glucose tests. The expert group concluded that there is currently insufficient evidence to make any formal recommendation on the interpretation of HbA1c levels below 6.5%.
Diabetes is typically featured by high levels of blood glucose. Up to now, diagnosis for diabetes is usually adopted through two measures: first, fasting blood sugar higher than 7 mmol/l; second, oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) or random blood sugar higher than 11.1mmol/l. Because venous and fingertip blood sugar levels may differ from each other and are easily mixed together, diabetic specailists are presently trying to find new measures to diagnose diabetes.
Blood sugar increase is a gradually developing process, a1c is no expectation. Thereby, 6.5% is adopted as a tangenancy point. Patients with Hba1c higher than this level are at increased risks of developing such diabetic complications as diabetic retinopathy. Patients with hba1c level 6%-6.5% and with family history, old age and obesity belong to high risk group of developing diabetic kidney disease, or diabetic nephropathy.

What is Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy?
What is Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy? It is an external application,
taking Chinese medicine as the principle element and western medicine as the
supplement, which is the characteristic treatment in Kidney Disease
Hospital.
The ultra micro smashed medicine, effective for kidney disease treatment, is
diluted and mixed sufficiently and easy to permeate into the kidney focus lesion
by the efficient permeating fluid and advanced scientific instrument. Through
the permeating, the micro-Chinese medicine can repair the due cells and rebuild
the due organization of the kidney for it can extent vessels and anti
inflammation, coagulation, thrombus and fibrosis .
What is the four effects of micro-Chinese medicine respectively?
Extending Vessels is the premise of the treatment. Inflammatory factors can cause kinds of oxidative stress reaction with various materials in blood, which can cause damage in blood vessels at all levels, resulting in blood circulation impairment. As a result, ischemia and anoxia of kidney micro-circulation will appear finally, damaging renal intrinsic cells gradually, and then Kidney Disease occurs.
Anti-inflammation is also essential. Large amounts of inflammatory medium, following the nephritis, are sent off to the blood circulation and injure the due cells of kidney through a series of creation. Anti –inflammation from the medicine molecule can the damage of the due cells.
Anti-freezing and Thrombus is another necessary part of the treatment. It can restrain from strengthening the activity of platelet, which can hold back the progress from normal blood consistency to the blood freezing. Reducing blood coagulation factor can stop the emergence of thrombus at different degrees in order to reform the blocking of microcirculation of the kidney, ischemia and oxygen want.
Anti-fibrosis which is indispensable can effectively restrain the formation of Extracellular Matrix hyperplasia and multiplication so as to stop the progress of fibrosis development and rebuild normal kidney structure. It is easy for the four steps of treatment to stop the development of fibrosis and restore the function of patient’s kidney.

Life Expectancy Of Stage 5 Kidney Disease
In this stage, GFR falls into less than 15 mL/min/1.73m2. Serum creatinine is more than 707mol/L (>8.0mg/dL). Patients in this stage fall into advanced stage of chronic kidney disease. Patients with stage 5 CKD will still have all the symptoms which happened in the previous four stages, and heart function fails seriously. Consequently, blood volume changes, so the quantity of blood perfusion into the kidney will decrease, and there is less blood flowing in the kidney. As a result, much water and sodium will remain in the body, and poor appetite, vomit and skin itch will come in thereby. So in this stage, most patients especially those in western countries are under dialysis. Some even must receive dialysis three times a week. In addition, with time passing by, more and more complications will appear, which makes Chronic Kidney Disease(CKD) Stage 5 patients suffers and want to know the life expectancy.
As a matter of fact, patients with Chronic Kidney Disease(CKD) Stage 5 can live a long life as long as they find and receive proper treatment. So please don"t be so worried and in this passage, we will introduce you a systematic treatment: dialysis + Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy .
Firstly, patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Stage 5 can"t get rid of dialysis at once because there are many toxins accumulated into the blood. Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) have suffered from the damage of kidney for a long time. So it is quite necessary for them to receive dialysis again before they receive Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy and stem cell transplant. We can also say, patients can receive dialysis and Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy at the same time. What is the function of Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy? It can firstly repair the damaged intrinsic cells in the kidney. Secondly, as for the necrotic cells, it can not solve, but it can supply a good inner environment for the growth of stem cell. The detailed steps for how Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy plays roles are as follows: Micro-Chinese Medicine is abstracted from traditional Chinese medicine such as Chinese herbs. Similar with traditional Chinese medicine, Micro-Chinese Medicine contains many nutritious and active materials. After it comes into the patients" body, it can promote the blood circulation and dissolve the stasis, which promote the micro-circulation. Secondly, it can help discharge the immune complex, through which, the overburden of the kidney can be reduced. Thirdly, after the first two steps which are combined with timely dialysis, a cleaner environment is created. In this case, the nutritious and active materials can play their roles once more.

Early Symptoms Of Polycystic Kidney Disease
Polycystic kidney disease is a common clinical disease, multiple strong. Cause that everyone should pay attention. Understanding of the early symptoms of polycystic kidney disease, in order that we can in a timely manner to prevent the occurrence of the disease, early detection and early treatment to reduce the unnecessary suffering of patients. About the early symptoms of polycystic kidney disease, we do not know.
Polycystic kidney disease is a relatively high incidence of the disease in the life, the early onset of the disease is not so obvious, it is difficult to timely detection of diseases, give patients have caused more serious damage, you will be able to be able to understand the early symptoms of better guarantee its therapeutic effect. The early symptoms of polycystic kidney, as follows:
1, the family members of someone suffering from polycystic kidney disease, those. Polycystic kidney disease is often accompanied by multiple cystic liver, liver cyst, splenic cysts, pancreatic cysts, cerebral aneurysms, abdominal aortic aneurysm, such as gastrointestinal diverticular disease themselves or their family members have these diseases should special attention to polycystic kidney disease, renal cysts hematuria cycle attack or mild proteinuria (to be differentiated and nephritis) by;
2, the long-term life of the people of the serious pollution of the environment, or exposure to toxic chemicals (including taking nephrotoxic drugs) or rays of people;
3, overworked, including manual labor excessive, excessive mental work and lack of physical exercise or training methods, improper strength, excessive labor room, etc.;

Iga Nephropathy (Berger's Disease) Diet Plan
|What You Can and Cannot Eat withIgA Nephropathy?IgA nephropathy is a kidney disorder that occurs when IgA¡ªa protein that helps the body fight infections¡ªsettles in the kidneys. After many years, the IgA deposits may cause the kidneys to leak blood and sometimes protein in the urine.The following is detailed diet plan for IgA Nephropathy.
1. Limit water and salt intake. Patients with serious edema, high blood pressure and little urine, should have diet without salt. Daily water intake should be no more than 800 to 1200 liters and do not eat food rich in sodium such as pickles, vegetables pickled in soy sauce, salted eggs, preserved bean curd and tuber mustard.
2. Vitamin E can reduce the protein in urine. Therefore, the patients should increase the foods high in vitamin E in their daily diet such as green leaf vegetables.
3.Low-protein diet: because the metabolic of protein such as creatinine, uric acid will be discharged by kidney. For IgA Nephropathy patients, their renal function is damaged, this waste products can not be well discharged by kidney and accumulate in body and causes poisoning. So patients should take low-protein diet to relieve the burden to kidney. Besides, they should also take high-quality protein diet which not only meets the nutrient requirement but also reduces the waste product of protein.
4. High quality and low amount protein intake
Such metabolic products of protein as urea nitrogen are excreted by the kidneys. Thereby, to decrease kidney burdens, IgA Nephropathy sufferers are advised to restrict protein intake carefully. In some cases, with positive treatment, if kidney function can be improved, swelling decreases and urine output increases above 1000ml, patients can gradually increase protein consumption.

Policystic Kidney Disease Develop Renal Failure
My name is Joelene Jackson but my friends call me by my nickname Jackie. You
have responded to my friend tricia via e-mail in connection with my kidney
failure and me looking for a kidney transplant. My two kidney donors both failed
the tests and seeing that I have policystic kidney disease and so does my only
son I have no more family members I can turn to for help in connection for a
kidney.
I want to thank you for replying to her as she forwarded your email to me. My nephroligist is currently in England and not available to help me with some test results as their offices is closed till after the easter weekend.
The following info is what I have available from the latest test results that I could find for you but some info is not available to me yet. I hope this info will be of some help to you as yet.
Currently the following info is all I have available till my dr returns from England and until I can get an apointment I cannot answer all your questions.
I have taken a 24 hour urine monster and measured it and it is currently only 350ml in 24hours that I pass.
From time to time there is foam in my urine. The colour is currently a little dark but not to dark with tiny obsticles as I call it in it.
The last ultrasound that was done the results I can remember was the one kidney 17" and the other 19". The last time I saw results the renal funtion was 4 but they tell me it may vary due to the dialysis. They did a ultra sound a few years back and it showed that the kidneys is covered in cysts.
I am on dialysis 3 times a week for 4 hours at a time. I get eprex twice a week and also an iron suplement twice a week. I do have edema in the morning .They draw blood on a monthly basis but I havent received any back yet seeing it is a public holiday here and the person working with the results is currnetly also on leave. I am still waiting for the results of the red and white blood cells results and all outstanding results that i can get I will send to you as soon as they are available.
As soon as my nephrologost returns from england I will try to get all outstanding results for you.
My answer :
To be honest, your condition is serious and because we have many patients with similar illness condition like you, I can undertsand your condition without test reports: low renal function, low GFR, serious anemia, high creatinine, high potassium, electrolyte disturbance, edema, flexible blood pressure, nausea, vomitting and so on. Now, what I want to know is your heart condition and whether you test for HIV, pneumonia, hepatitis and malaria. You know, to patients with this diseases, there are requirment on medication. Ok, the following are our suggestions for you.
Firstly, your creatinine is high. To some degree, many complications caused by high creatinine are more terrible than the disease itself. Creatinine is a kind a metabolic waster and there are mainly three ways to lower it: medicines, dialysis and treatment for kidney disease. To your condition, Dialysis is better for you now for it can lower creatinine in a short time, but dialysis can not treat kidney disease and improve kidney function. The cause of high creatinine is the damage on kidneys. Kidneys can not eliminate toxins out, then creatinine and so on pile up in kidneys. So, if you want to lower the creatinine effectively, it is better for you to repair kidneys and improving kidney function. After renal function improves, your creatinine will be lower naturally.
Secondly, it is necessary for you to treat your anemia for serious anemia can lead to heart attack. Anemia is a common manifestation of patients with end stage Renal Failure and when the serum creatinine is higher than 4 ( it is about 320), anemia will occur. And it may worsen with the aggravation of renal function. The decrease of EPO generated by kidney; inhibitory action of toxins to bone marrow; short of red blood cells’ life; the insufficiency of iron, folic acid, protein; lose blood caused by dialysis; hyperparathyroidism and so on. All of the above reasons can contribute to the occurrence of renal anemia. Usually, patients treat anemia by iron tablets, injections of EPO or the improvement of kidney function. Similar to the creatinine, the basic and effective way is improving kidneys functions first.
Finally, as you know, time is the key for your treatment. if you can not take kidney transplant in one month, we hope you can consider stem cells transplant and the following are our reasons:
1. Dialysis can help reliving some symptom caused by toxins, but can not repair the harm on kidneys. Your renal function is decreasing while only dialysis. Some complications like anemia can not be treated by dialysis.
2. Different from kidney transplant, stem cells can be transplanted without match. So you can take time to save and improve your renal function. Now, 96% renal function has been damaged, there is no time to wait.
3. you are taking dialysis regularly and you still have urine, that is, your filtrating ability is working, that is why we can suggest u stem cells.
4. According to the information you provided, your kidneys enlarged a lot and the enlargement is caused by PKD, so we will apply Chinese medicine to shrink the cysts as well, which will also do good for your kidneys.

How To Manage Iga Kidney Disease
Q. I am 32 years old. I am have IgA Kidney Disease(Berger's disease) . Doctor said that I am not in a severe stage. How can I manage myself by diet ? I heard that such patients should not do all exercises. What kind of diet will help me?
IgA nephropathy is a common cause of glomerulonephritis. Although it is a benign disease in most patients, chronic renal failure and ESRD occur in about 20-40% of patients within 20 years of presentation. Currently, no cure exists for IgA nephropathy, but therapies that can delay the onset of need for dialysis and transplantation are available.
A low-antigen diet, which consists of restricting dietary gluten and avoiding meats and dairy products, has been recommended to decrease mucosal antigen exposure but has not been shown to preserve renal function.
Low-protein diets have been recommended to slow the rate of progression of many nephropathies. No large trial explicitly addresses the role of low-protein diets in slowing the decline in renal function in IgA nephropathy. The MDRD Study Group trial is the largest trial of low-protein diets to date, but it included patients with a variety of renal diseases. This trial was unable to determine whether a low-protein diet was beneficial. Although the meta-analysis of studies of low-protein diets suggests some benefits, the effects are subtle and difficult to apply to a given patient.

What Are The Symptoms Of Kidney Failure?
What are the symptoms of kidney failure?I have a kidney transplant for 26
yrs. so far but my blood pressure has been a little bit up like 110/90 but it's
always been this way. My cholesterol has been going up but my doctor say it's
because I've been taking Prednizone all my life. Out of curiosity, I just want
to know what is the most that a kidney can last. I have my mom's kidney because
I have no sibblings.
What are the symptoms of kidney failure?
According to statistics, by 10 to 15 years, about 50% of transplanted kidneys are still functional. Rates improve if the kidney comes from a living relative.
The signs and symptoms of kidney failure vary, depending on whether the failure is acute or chronic.
Acute kidney failure occurs when your kidneys suddenly stop filtering waste products from your blood. The signs and symptoms may include:
Fluid retention
Bleeding, often in your stomach or intestines
Confusion
Seizures
Coma
Chronic kidney failure
According to the National Kidney Foundation, almost 20 million adult Americans have chronic kidney disease and another 20 million are at risk of developing it. Over time, chronic kidney failure can lead to congestive heart failure, weak bones, stomach ulcers and damage to the central nervous system. Unfortunately, signs and symptoms often don't appear until irreversible damage has occurred. They include:
High blood pressure
Unexplained weight loss
Anemia
Nausea or vomiting
Malaise or fatigue
Headaches that seem unrelated to any other cause
Decreased urine output
Decreased mental sharpness
Muscle twitches and cramps
Bleeding in the intestinal tract
Yellowish-brown cast to the skin
Persistent itching
Sleep disorders
End-stage renal disease

How to Lower High Creatinine 900 in Clinic
How to lower high creatinine level 900 in clinic? Generally the normal range
of creatinin in serum is 44 to 103umol/L, which is the metabolism of muscles and
should be discharged out of the body through kidney for in renal glomerular
basilar membrane, there are pores which allow the small molecules to filter
out.
So when serum creatinine is 900 in clinic, it indicates that the serum creatinine has been relatively serious. In clinic, in most of the countries, patients with kidney disease begin to take dialysis when the serum creatinine is 445umol/L. In China, many kidney failure patients take dialysis when the creatinine is as high as 707 umol/L. Of course, some specific diseases are different. For example, diabetic kidney disease patients (diabetic nephropathy) patients should take dialysis as soon as the serum creatinine is 300 umol/L.
From the above, we can find out that creatinine 900 is indeed serious and patients should take dialysis or other blood purifications first, which however is not enough for once kidney fails, there must be damage in the kidney such as damaged cells and even necrotic cells. In this case, we should take measures to repair the damaged cells in the kidney. Only in this way, can we treat kidney disease and lower high creatinine from root.
After blood purification, 900 serum creatinine will be lowered to some extent. Next, we will make full use of Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy in Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital. In Micro-Chinese Medicine, there are herbs which can promote the blood circulation, discharge the toxins, which can create a good inner environment for the repair of the damaged cells in the kidney. After these, the active materials can repair the damaged cells in the kidney by supplying nutrition and high creatinine 900 can be lowered fundamentally.

Tell You More about Oliguria and Acute Renal Failure
When we heard about the word Acute Renal Failure (ARF), we will usually think it as a rather horrible disease. Actually, if you get the disease, what you need to do first is to calm down and try to know more about the disease. Only when you know better about it, can you find and receive effective treatment in time.
Maybe you have already known that the Acute Renal Failure (ARF) can be divided into three stages, say, the Stage of Oliguria, Diuresis and Recovery. If you are newly diagnosed with this disease, it may possibly in the stage of Oliguria. To know Oliguria, we should firstly have some knowledge of urine. For normal people, the urine volume in a day (24h) is 1500-2000ml. When the urine volume is less than 400ml/d (or 17ml/h), it can be called Oliguria, and when less than 100ml/d (or 4ml/h), Anuria.
How can you know which stage you are in? Now let's have a look at the clinical manifestations of Acute Renal Failure.
1. Oliguria always appears after the precursory signs and will last for 2-4 weeks.
2. You may have a series of malaise such as poorer appetite, nausea, vomit, diarrhea, hiccup, dizziness, headache, short breath and even spasm and coma.
3. You will have Metabolic Acidosis, which is caused by the accumulation of metabolic wastes in your body; the value of serum creatinine (SCr) and Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) will rise as well.
4. Disordered electrolyte appears, including hyperkalemia, low serum sodium, high serum phosphate and hypocalcemia, etc. In some cases even the cardiac arrest may appear.
5. Excessive water will remain in human body, so encephaledema or pneumonedema may appear.
In the Acute Renal Failure, renal function decreases progressively and the damages on kidney is deteriorate rather quickly, so there will be various complications during the process. Some common ones are introduced here for your reference.
A. Infection.
It is the most common complication of Acute Renal Failure in the stage of Oliguria, and it is usually seen in the cases of Hypercatabolism ARF which is aroused by severe trauma and burn.
B. Diseases in cardiovascular system.
Arrhythmia, Heart Failure, Pericarditis and Hypertension are usually seen.
C. Diseases in nervous system.
The symptoms are headache, somnolence, spasm, coma and epilepsy. Those are all caused by the retention of metabolic wastes and disordered electrolyte and acid-base balance.
D. Diseases in digestive system.
You may have asitia, nausea and vomit, etc. Sometimes bleeding will appear due to the erosion of the gastrointestinal mucosa.
E. Diseases in the blood system.
Due to the severe decrease of renal function, the quantity of erythropoietin (EPO) will decrease therewith, so Anemia will appear.
F. Electrolyte disturbance & Metabolic Acidosis.
These are the most serious complications of Acute Renal Failure, including Hyperkalemia and Hyponatremia and serious Acidosis.
So far, you may get more detailed information about the stage of Oliguria in Acute Renal Failure (ARF). During this period, the most significant thing is to have effective treatment as soon as possible after the diagnosis and control the progressive deterioration of the condition, and also, the prevention of complications matter a lot in this stage because they are so severe that will even lead to death. If you wonder about the treatment, or just want to know a little more, you are welcome to talk with the consultant online or leave a message to kidneyfailure@hotmail.com .

To Lower Creatinine At The Early Stage of Renal Failure
Creatinine is something our body does not need and the healthy kidney will filter it out of body. Once the kidney function is damaged, creatinine and other toxins can not be discharged out of body and they will deposit in our body. These harmful substances will make the kidney function worse and worse, if we do nothing about it, the final result is Renal Failure or Uremia and what you will be faced with is dialysis or a kidney transplant.
Renal failure can be divided into four stages according to the different creatinine level. Please look at the form:
At stage 1 and stage 2, the illness condition is not very severe, and it is comparatively easy to get the disease reversed. So patients should take actions in time, in case delay the illness condition. Once the disease develops into Renal Failure or Uremia, that means the condition is very severe and it is difficult to get the disease reversed, for little kidney function has been left, however, it is not impossible. If you still have some certain volume of urine and the bloodstream, of course, you need to do the checks to know how much kidney function is left, there will have the possibility to control your disease and avoid dialysis or a kidney transplant.
If you want to know more about our therapy or the service in our hospital, you can directly talk to online expert or you can leave a message, we will send you the information including some similar cases if you like.

Life Expectancy Of Dialysis
It is important to know about the risks involved with kidney dialysis, because it is best to be prepared for the worst that could happen. Kidney dialysis is the artificial replacement of the kidney functions in an individual who has suffered from serious renal failure. The life expectancy obviously depends on the severity of the disorder, as someone suffering from acute kidney failure can reverse the process and recover soon and expect to live a long life.
The normal life expectancy of a patient is 3-5 years. It is assumed that if a person is undergoing the treatment for chronic kidney diseases, then the end is near. This is because only someone with the most advanced stage (stage 5) of this disease will be put under the treatment. This stage is also known as End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) and recovering from this is virtually unheard of. The mortality rate for patients suffering from ESRD is 22% annually, and this effectively means that surviving beyond 5 years is going to be highly unlikely.
When a person decides to undergo dialysis, it is a conscious decision that he/she must make. The fact is that without dialysis, the patient will not survive for more than a few weeks. The kidneys process the urea in the body and release it in the form of urine, so when the kidneys stop working, urine stops getting released from the body. As a result of this, the vascular system will soon get flooded with liquid, and the heart will be unable to keep up with this added volume. The lungs will also get flooded, and this will result in a lack of oxygen to the brain and to the heart.
It might be hard to read such statistics, but I believe knowing such statistics can give you a chance to change your life.
How? Well it gives us a clue that dialysis is not your winning ticket home to health. That although dialysis is helpful in severe cases of kidney failure, it is not a complete solution and therefore begs the questions "why is this the case?", and "how can I change my outcome?"
There are many reasons why this is the case, among them are:
Complications Caused by Kidney Failure
Anemia
Bleeding from the stomach or intestines
Bone, joint, and muscle pain
Congestive heart failure
Coronary artery disease
Dementia
Edema
Fluid buildup around the lungs (pleural effusion)
High blood pressure
Hyperparathyroidism
Increased risk of infections
Liver damage or failure
Malnutrition
Miscarriages and infertility
Pericarditis
Seizures
Stroke

How To Treat Proteinuria In Iga Nephropathy Patients
Proteinuria, the typical symptoms of chronic kidney disease, proteinuria causes of glomerular barrier function has a close relationship. Glomerular capillary consists of a three-tier structure, from inside to outside, respectively, for the endothelial cell layer, the base layer and epithelial cell layer. The cell of this three-tiered distribution of the filter pore sizes and negative charge, the barrier function of the glomerular capillary can be divided into two, namely, the mechanical barrier - the filter hole and charge barrier - negative charge.
iga nephropathy is already a common disease, and disease prevalence populations teenagers is more common, how treatment when iga nephropathy accompanied by proteinuria? proteinuria is the symptoms of kidney disease, people with iga nephropathy with proteinuria is not wonderful, we just treatment will play an effective role for the cause, following up a look.
The experts pointed out that: proteinuria is a symptom of a kidney injury, once this symptom occurs, it should be resolved as soon as possible for iga nephropathy patients with proteinuria how do is the same, we must first eliminate proteinuria.
IgA nephropathy with hematuria, with a large number of proteinuria is often ignored, and misleading treatment of renal biopsy before diagnosis. The nephrotic hospital had some IgA nephropathy patients, clinical statistics, found in the extraction of medical records in IgA nephropathy urine protein up to 3.0 ~ 4.5 g/24h, more performance for the nephrotic syndrome.
The pathogenesis of IgA nephropathy proteinuria is complex and depends on the degree of glomerular and (or) tubular injury. In the hospital extracted proteinuria in patients with IgA nephropathy, the serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen were increased, indicating that glomerular function by varying degrees of damage; pathologically confirmed pathological grade, renal tubular interstitial fibrosis in IgA nephropathy 24h proteinuria amount, suggesting tubulointerstitial damage may be an important mechanism of proteinuria in patients with IgA nephropathy.
Clinical manifestations of proteinuria in patients with IgA nephropathy, suggesting tubulointerstitial damage, protect the kidney function is very important. Massive proteinuria as the main clinical manifestations of IgA nephropathy, although the cause can not be independent for a set of characteristic cases, but in clinical practice does have separate performance of proteinuria in IgA nephropathy medical treatment of hematuria of IgA patients with kidney disease is more difficult. Recent studies confirmed proteinuria promote the progress of IgA nephropathy. Accompanied by a large number of animal models of proteinuria, proteinuria increase of extracellular matrix proteins and TGF-β in the gene encoding the kidney protease inhibitor increased expression; the degree of proteinuria and renal interstitial inflammation, and monocyte-macrophage cell infiltration .
Restricted diet of protein intake may reverse the glomerular filtration and small ball and small tube mast, slow decline in glomerular filtration rate. Extracted the medical records of massive proteinuria in IgA nephropathy showed pathological damage, re-graded, renal tubular damage and proteinuria; clinical manifestations of serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen. Prompted massive proteinuria may contribute to the progress of IgA nephropathy.
treatment of proteinuria with Iga nephropathy patients :
1 , A traditional Chinese medicine treatment of urinary protein. Penetration of the active ingredients of traditional Chinese medicine directly to the damaged glomerular, tubular, to repair, and increased glomerular filtration ability of the protein, progressive renal tubular reabsorption of protein capacity.
2, Immunosuppressive therapy, urinary protein. Chinese medicine effective active ingredient in the treatment of urinary protein is a process, iga nephropathy patients in the initial stages of treatment still need to immunosuppressant drug class with the to ensure that protein is down in the near future, so that traditional Chinese medicine to catch this opportunity to to repair the damaged kidney.
3, If necessary, be combined with hormone therapy proteinuria. All know, prices and other reasons, some patients in the initial stages of treatment of urinary protein still want to use hormone treatment of patients with iga nephropathy urinary protein with Western. It goes with the use of immunosuppressive agents is the same, all the protein in the short term stable housing, repair the kidney to the traditional Chinese medicine to provide a more comfortable time.
After a certain period of treatment, when the kidney tissue repair by traditional Chinese medicine active substances, glomerular filtration protein and tubular reabsorption of the protein's ability to rise gradually restored, proteinuria will gradually decline, and finally negative.
Got iga nephropathy is not terrible, horrible, no systematic treatment to delay the disease, delayed treatment period, so if it is found necessary to systematic treatment, can not be purely symptomatic treatment, from the pathological injury to start, Hospital Nephrology for the treatment of iga nephropathy, iga nephropathy of Chinese medicine treatment at the same time, the use of the theory of Chinese medicine and treatment methods to check the diagnosis of disease, observation analysis of disease treatment principles and methods of disease experienced repeated validation and to enrich and perfect to take different approaches to treatment differences according to the pathological findings, a leading level in the treatment of a variety of nephritis, cure many patients, the majority of renal patients at home.
iga nephropathy patients with proteinuria with treatment including:
1, Patients in the diet to ensure high-quality low-protein intake should not eat salty foods to avoid increasing the burden on the kidneys, the filtration ability of the protein further decline;
2, Prevent colds, in order to minimize the probability of induced urinary protein repeated;
3, Should not be overworked, the right amount of activity;
4, Strictly by your doctor to pay attention to every little detail of life.

Can I Smoke with IgA Nephropathy
IgA Kidney Disease patients can not smoke as smoking is an important inducement of kidney damages. Therefore, if someone with IgA Kidney Disease (IgA Nephropathy) has developed the habit of smoking, he need to kick this habit immediately. Also, if he found it is hard for him to give up smoking, he can ask his doctors, family members and friends for help.
As a matter of fact, since 2003, a substantial number of clinical and experimental data regarding the adverse renal effects of smoking have been published. Although many IgA Kidney Disease patients know that smoking is the number one preventable death in most countries, they do not take it seriously as they do not know how does smoking affect their life.
And as one of the dominant cause of death for people, smoking affect people's immune system seriously. Because of strong immune system, our immunity is powerful to against varies diseases. However, under the effects of smoking, we are very likely to suffer from immune dysfunction. IgA Kidney Disease is a autoimmune disease and it occurs due to abnormal immune system. Hence, for IgA Kidney Disease patients, they need to adjust their immune system and increase their immunity, at least protect their present immune system. Smoking damage their immune system, so they need to avoid smoking; otherwise, the possibility that they suffer from cardiovascular disease will be increased greatly.
Actually, smoking not only affects our immune system, as well as many our other internal organs like respiratory tract, digestive tract, brain, heart and lung. Smoking can cause so many life-threatening diseases. Since smoking means so much, IgA Kidney Disease patients should and must give up smoking and also, to live more healthily, they need to even avoid having too much contact with smokers because they can be affected by second hand smoking.
Warmth warning: smoking not only push IgA Kidney Disease patients into a more dangerous condition, they can also cause so many other fatal diseases such as Cancer and Leukemia. Hence, please keep being far away from smoking if your cherish your life as well as your family members' life.

Does Creatinine 3.7 Mean Dialysis
Does creatinine 3.7 mean dialysis? People who ask this question are mostly those who are diagnosed with kidney disease not long ago. They don’t know how kidney is damaged and only are told that creatinine is an index which indicates the damage of our kidney. They even doubt they need to take dialysis. Indeed, creatinine is a metabolism of muscles, which filters through kidney and the normal range is 0.5 to 1.2 mg/ dL. Creatinine 3.7 mg/ dL also equals creatinine creatinine 321umol/L. In other words, we can use different ways or units to express the level of creatinine. The rate between them is 88.4.
When will kidney disease patients take dialysis? Generally, in the world, most patients take dialysis when creatinine is as high as 445 umol/L. In China, kidney disease patients mostly take dialysis when creatinine rises as high as 707 umol/L. In addition, diabetic nephropathy take dialysis when creatinine is 300 umol/L, which is an exception.
So from the above, we can know whether creatinine 3.7 means dialysis. In fact, dialysis can not solve the kidney problem from root for once kidney disease takes place, there must be damage in the kidney. Dialysis can only help discharge the toxins such as creatinine, urea acid, urea nitrogen, etc. Only after the damaged cells are damaged, can kidney disease be treated from root.
So for creatinine 3.7 patients, only if they take effective measures to repair, can they be far away from dialysis. In Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital, we have Micro-Chinese Meidicine Osmotherapy, which can solve this problem. It is applied through osmosis, which can relieve the blood and oxygen insufficiency and repair the damaged cells for it contains active Chinese herbs.
We can also say that creatinine 3.7 mean that kidney disease patients are in a critical stage or in the edge of dialysis. So please be aware and treat in time so as to avoid dialysis some day in the future.

How To Treat Parenchymal Kidney Disease
Renal Parenchymal Disease means disease of the kidney cells (nephrons) themselves. It usually implies less than optimal capacity to process waste (such as urinary creatinine).
Treatment for parenchymal kidney disease seeks to remove excess salt, water and harmful substances from the bloodstream. Patients learn to manage their kidney disease by restricting their intake of salt, potassium, and protein; treating their high blood pressure; managing their diabetes; and taking erythropoietin ("epo"), a hormone that helps bone marrow to produce healthy blood cells.
Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy Consists of Three Parts)overts the defects of traditional Chinese medicines. It is an external therapy, in which the effective medicines are shattered into powder. With the aid of effective penetrant and osmosis devices, the effective medicines are permeated into kidney lesions by external application, thus achieving the goal of treating Renal Parenchymal Disease.
Micro-Chinese Medicine is abstracted from the Chinese herbs, without any side-effect. This is the oldest traditional medicines in our country, like acupuncture.
All kidney disease is caused by the renal fibrosis, which means the blood can’t flow in the vessels. Chinese Medicine can dilate blood vessels, increase the blood flow volume in the renal lesion.
Symptoms of Renal Parenchymal Disease
Renal parenchymal disease is non-specific and refers to abnormalities of the body of the kidney. There are multiple causes, including high blood pressure, drug toxicity and trauma.
The key to treatment is first to understand the potential causes and reverse as many of these as possible.
Depending on the severity of the illness and in general, avoidance of medications that can cause kidney injury is prudent. Several of these are commonly prescribed, including non-steroidal antiinflammatory medications, trimethoprim-sulfa and certain antiretroviral medications.
Kidney stones are very common, and when they pass the pain can be very severe. Stone formation can be either an inherited problem or because of an obstruction or a severe kidney infection. Kidney stones can also cause scarring and damage to the kidneys if not properly treated, however kidney stones can be managed successfully with early detection.
Diabetes is another medical condition that can lead to kidney disease. Certain medications such as chemotherapy medications, pesticides and illegal drugs can also cause severe damage the kidneys and kidney tissues.
Polycystic renal disease is hereditary type of kidney disease and starts in childhood and follows through adulthood. Other hereditary kidney diseases include Alport's syndrome and cystinuria.
Some of the warning signs for any renal disease are:
Difficulty urinating, or painful urination
Frequent urination
Blood in the urine
Swelling of the face especially around the eyes, or edema in the feet and hands
Back pain just below the ribcage
Hypertension
How to Reduce High Creatinine Levels Effectively
Creatinine, a kind of metabolin, is produced during the process that muscle provides energy for normal activities. Everybody produces some constant amount of creatinine every day and kidneys are responsible to clear it out. Accumulation of creatinine will do harm for body and the possible signs and symptoms includes: fatigue, lack of concentration and trouble sleeping, etc. As high creatinine levels have many adverse influences on human body, it is necessary to get them down.
What are the current methods to reduce high creatinine level? Creatinine can be caused in many situations, including kidney infection, high blood pressure and diabetes. Some medicines, immunosuppressive agent, or hypotensor or Hypoglycemic Agent are used according to the individual condition. We know that creatinine levels are indicators of damaged kidneys. However, these ways only aiming at lower creatinine levels not repairing the damaged kidneys. As a result, even patients using one of these methods have reduced creatinine levels will experience evaluated creatinine levels again.
How to reduce high creatinine levels effectively? The correct way is to repair damaged kidneys. To achieve this goal, Miro-Chinese Medicine and Stem Cells Transplant is urged to be used.
Micro-Chinese medicine osmotherapy is to make the effective prescriptions of kidney disease superfinedly shattered. Then with the help of effective penetrant and osmosis devices, the effective medicines are permeated into kidney lesions by external application, thus achieving the goal of repairing damaged kidney lesions. The reason why it can achieve this goal is that Chinese medicines have curative effects like dilating blood vessels, anti-inflammation, anticoagulation, preventing blood viscosity and degrading extracellular matrixes.
Stem Cells have self-renewing ability which means they can regenerate mass of offspring that may have exactly the same characteristics as these original stem cells. In addition, stem cells also have the potential of differentiating into functional cells of various tissues. So, Stem Cells Transplantation Therapy has powerful ability in repairing and regenerating various kidney intrinsic cells.

What does creatinine 1.85 mg/ dL mean
When doctors tell patients with kidney disease that their creatinine level is 1.85 mg/ dL, they are confused and don’t know how serious it is. In addition, Creatinine 1.85 mg/ dL also equals creatinine creatinine 163 umol/L. In other words, we can use different ways or units to express the level of creatinine. The rate between them is 88.4. For example, if a person’s creatinine is 1.0 mg/ dL, we can also say that the level is 88.4 umol/L. The normal range of creatinine is not the same in specific countries due to different labs. In China, the normal range in most cases is 44 to 103 umol/L. and we usually use umol/L to express the creatinine. In China, doctor mainly judge the stage of kidney disease according to the level of creatinine. The same goes for many other countries. Creatinine 1.85 mg/ dL equals creatinine equals creatinine 163 umol/L. Another example goes as follows: if patients have creatinine 707 umol/L, it shows that they have got into uremia stage or advanced stage of renal failure( kidney failure).
How serious when kidney disease patients have creatinine 1.85 mg/ dL or creatinine 163 umol/L? Patients have got renal insufficiency stage. Please do not worry because creatinine 163 umol/L shows that patients are in compensation stage of renal insufficiency. It means that some renal glomeruli are damaged, but other healthy ones can replace them and do their work as well as their own work. So in this stage, patients usually have no symptoms or discomfort at all. However, the damage inside of the kidney has happened really. So patients with kidney disease should also pay attention to it and take effective measures.
How about effective therapy in China? To answer this question, we should first figure out the definition of creatinine and the reasons why creatinine is high.

Symptoms of Chronic Glomerular Nephritis
Glomerulonephritis is an inflammation of the tiny filters in glomeruli of your kidneys. It caused by the damage of glomeruli in your kidneys which helps filter wastes and fluids from the blood. Glomeruli removes excess fluid, electrolytes and wastes from your bloodstream and passes them into your urine. There are group of primary glomerular diseases caused by various diseases. Different degrees manifest different clinical symptoms and the processes. Most patients with Chronic Nephritis don’t have very obvious symptoms at an early stage. The common symptoms may occur as follows:
1. High blood pressure
Most patients with Chronic Nephritis develop high blood pressure sooner or later. High blood pressure is likely to be the first manifestation of chronic nephritis in some patients. Headache, insomnia, declined memory may occur in some patients. Blood pressure can be elevated persistently.
2. Foamy urine
Almost all patients with chronic nephritis have abnormal urineanalysis. The protein in urine is about 1-3g/d. Also there are patients of Chronic Glomerular Nephritis who have larger amount of protein like more than 3.5g/d occasionally, blood in sugar can occur.
3. Swell
Almost all patients will suffer from swell in different degrees. Slight swell is in the eyelid, and face or ankle. Sever swell can be in the whole body. It is an obvious damaged sign in your kidney.
4. Anemia
At the early stage of chronic nephritis, slight anemia is likely to be occurred. At the end stage, severe anemia can occur due to the severe kidney damage causing reduced hemopoietin. The damage to your kidney will be great heavier and you should take some measures as soon as possible.
For different patients may occur various symptoms not mentioned above. It depends on your specific state of health. If you have any questions, please connect with us as soon as possible. Your consults are warmly welcomed

Why High Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN)
Why is there high blood urea nitrogen (BUN)? The normal range of blood urea nitrogen (BUN) is 2.86 to 7.14 mmol/L. Normally, the waste urea nitrogen which is caused by the metabolism of protein filters out of the body through renal glomerular membrane. It can successfully leak out from the pore of renal glomerular membrane together with creatinine and urea acid for all of them are small molecules.
However, due to many reasons such as immune inflammatory response in kidney or recent too much intake of protein, renal glomerular membrane is damaged as well as other kidney intrinsic cells.
What will happen after high blood urea nitrogen (BUN)? As we mentioned in the above, it is final metabolism product of protein and it is waste or toxins. Long time high blood urea nitrogen (BUN) will definitely damage the body and lead to dizziness, anemia, high blood pressure and so on.
How to treat high blood urea nitrogen (BUN)?
As we mentioned in the above, we should stop the immune inflammatory response. On the basis of which, we researched immunotherapy in Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital, which is a combination of both western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine, among which, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is the core therapy. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can not only clear away the immune complex, stop the excessive immune inflammatory response from root, but also enhance the immunity.

Stage 3 Kidney Disease Life Expectancy
Stage 3 Kidney Disease Life Expectancy can depend on the stage of the disease at diagnosis, the patient's general level of health and age, and what kind of treatment the patient receives. Patients facing a diagnosis of kidney disease should ask their doctors for a complete overview so they understand their options and the various prognoses. It is important to weigh quality oflife issues when considering life expectancy with kidney disease. A patient might live four years with one treatment and two with another, but could have a better quality of life with the shorter prognosis.
In the first stage, GFR is normal or high, which is more than 90 ml/(min•1.73㎡). In the second stage, GFR declines to 60~90ml/(min•1.73㎡). In the third stage, GFR declines to 30~59ml/(min•1.73㎡). Patients fall into renal failure stage based on Chinese traditional standard. The serum creatinine rises to 442 to 707μmol/L(5~8mg/dl). The creatinine clearance rate declines to 20 to 10 ml/min. BUN ( blood urea nitrogen) increased to 179~286mmol/L(50~80mg/dl).
Patients with CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease) Stage 3 can also have some symptoms. They will suffer from anemia, balance disorders of water, electrolyte and acid-base. Suffering from these, patients with CKD(Chronic Kidney Disease) Stage 3 even loose confidence.
So patients with CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease) Stage 3 want to know life expectancy. How long will I live? Is the future fearful really? Absolutely not. Experts in kidney disease field point out that in most time, patients with CKD(Chronic Kidney Disease) Stage 3 can not receive scientific treatment and the medicine just focus on the symptoms such as hormone, immunosuppressive agent. They focus on dimishing the symptoms and once patients with CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease) Stage 3 have got an infection such as cold, symptoms will recur again. What’s worse, it makes patients depressed and even hopeless. But do not worry because there is also a new therapy which maybe you have not heard of it before but it really can bring you new hope.
Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can promote the blood circulation and dissolve the stasis in the blood, creating a clearer inner environment. Secondly, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy contains many active and nutritious substances, which can repair the damaged intrinsic cells and prevent proteins and red blood cells, etc from leaking out fundamentally. After more than one months’ treatment in hospital, patients with CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease) Stage 3 should apply Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy for another more than 3 months to consolidate the effect. So the total treatment may take 4 months.
If patiets with chronic kidney disease stage 3 are more serious, in other words, if there are many necrotic intrinsic cells damaging renal structure and function that we can not solve it with Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy, we should add another therapy: Immunotherapy to generate new intrinsic cells and rebuild the normal renal structure and function. After Immunotherapy is transplanted into human body by injection through vein, it can reach the nidus and deteriorate into the cells which human body is in need of. In addition, it can strengthen the immunological ability and make patients with chronic kidney disease stage 3 recover as soon as possible. We can aslo say, we should use the combination of Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy and Immunotherapy transpant if necessary.
Generally, patients with chronic kidney disease stage 3 should receive Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy every day and each time lasts for 45 minutes. As for the Immunotherapy, in the whole treatment, they should inject two times generally.
So there is no need to worry. In stage 3, the damage in kidney is not so serious. In other words, it can be treated well as long as the treatment is effective and timely. Life expectancy will be longer consequently.
If you still have any other questions about Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy and Immunotherapy, please feel free to consult the experts online or email to me :ckdsite@hotmail.com.

How to decrease protein in urine?
This is a question which is put forward by chronic kidney disease patients who have protein in urine and the urine which contains a large amount of protein is called proteinuria. Generally, in a normal condition, there is a little protein in urine, the amount of which is about 40mg to 80mg. The maximum is 150mg. Youngsters have higher level. If there is more than 150mg per day, we can call it proteinuria.
Proteinuria can be caused by many factors such as long time standing, taking exercise, and so on, all of which are just for the time being and can disappear some time later. However, if the protein in urine lasts for more than three months, which is often accompanied by hematuria, and sometimes with decreased glomerular filtration rate, which is short for GFR.
Long time protein in urine will of course lead to a series of damage. Firstly, if there is more protein in urine, there consequently must be less protein in the plasma, which is called hypoproteinemia in clinic. In turn, hypoproteinemia will lead to edema or swelling in the body. So once there appears protein in urine, especially when it lasts for a long time, chronic kidney disease patients will become anxious and seek for an effective treatment.
To decrease the protein in urine has become the focus of the chronic kidney disease patients. How to achieve it? To solve the problem, we should firstly figure out why and where protein leaks out into urine. Protein leaks out from the filtration membrane of kidney, the structure of which is just like a griddle, in which, there are many pores. The diameter of the pores is limited, so in normal condition, there are only small molecules which can pass through such as creatinine. However, when the kidney suffers from damage, the filtration membrane will also be damaged, the diameter of whose pores will also change. In this case, some bigger molecules such as protein will leak out, thus causing protein in urine.
Since that we have figured out the reason why there appears protein in urine, we can think over the solutions to decrease the protein in urine.
Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmothrapy can make it. It is abstracted from traditional Chinese medicine, which is more convenient and the ratio of use is also more effective in contrast to the traditional Chinese medicine. It is from Chinese herbs mostly, so it contains nutritious and active materials which can give nutrition to the damaged filtration membrane, thus repairing it. After that, the pores’ diameter turns normal, thus stopping the leaking out of protein in urine. For more information, please consult us online or email us.

Renal Cortical Cyst Treatment
Renal Cortical Cyst is one type of renal cyst that appears in the renal cortex. Its incidence will increase as people grow older and greatly affect people’s life.
When the diameter of the cyst is smaller than 3cm and when there is no obvious symptom(symptoms for kidney cyst), the doctors usually leave it along except the regular check every half a year. But if the cyst continues to grow, it will oppress the surrounding cells and tissues and squeeze other organs like stomach and intestines. In cases of infections and rupture of the cyst, it will cause great pains and hematuria. At this time, timely treatments are needed to remove or shrink the cyst.
Traditional treatments for Renal Cortical Cyst are pumping the fluid out of the body and puncture and harden small ones. If the Renal Cortical Cyst is larger, surgery will be required. But all these treatments only aim at removing the cyst without repaired damaged kidney tissue and improve the kidney function. So the Renal Cortical Cyst will once again appear after a period of time or under some inducements. What’s more, the injuries caused by surgery will further damage the kidneys.
In order to have a far better curative effect, we need first make clear the root causes of Renal Cortical Cyst and only if we solve the most fundamental issue, can the cyst ceases to bother the patients. The key point is to repair damaged renal cells so that they will cease to secrete cystic fluids. Through years of innovation, Kidney Disease Hospital has created the latest and the most effective treatment for the Renal Cortical Cyst---Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy. As we all know the Chinese Medicine has great advantages over the Western Medicine. But due to the low effects, few people want to try it. The Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is a new treatment originated from the TCM and it has overcome the weak point of the TCM. It is an external application and the active ingredients of the medicines can be effectively absorbed by the kidneys through the osmoscope.
Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy has the functions of anti-inflammation, anti-coagulation, dilating blood vessels and accelerating blood circulation. It can help improve the states of ischemia and hypoxia so as to provide enough blood and oxygen to the renal cells and tissues, which can help impair necrotic renal cells and activate the morbid cells so the epithelial cells will cease to secrete fluid and suck back the cystic fluids. What’s more, the active ingredients in the medicines can help ameliorate the high pressure state in the kidneys so that the cystic fluids will flow out naturally. The treatment is safe and does not cause any side-effect and the recurrence rate is greatly lowered compared with the traditional treatments.
For more detailed information or need any help, you can consult us online or email us. We are glad to help you find the best treatment.
If you have any questions about polycystic kidney disease or kidney cyst , but our renal expert not here , you can submit your cases , Our kidney expert will reply as soon as possible . I hope you'll get well soon !

Immunotherapy for Minimal Change Kidney Disease
Minimal change kidney disease is a common disease which leads to nephrotic syndrome. More than half of children primary nephrotic syndrome is caused by minimal change kidney disease.
Among adult primary nephrotic syndrome, 15% to 20% is caused by minimal change. Minimal change is caused by abnormal immune. With the microscopy, we can see that renal glomeruli are almost normal, so we call it minimal change kidney disease.
Typical minimal change can manifest as nephrotic syndrome. The protein in 24 hour urine can be as much as 10g. Different people have degree of microscopic hematuria. But gross hematuria is rarely seen. The blood pressure of people with minimal change kidney disease is usually normal. About one thirds of people have declined GFR also called glomerular filtration rate when they go to hospital for the first time. A few of them have acute renal failure. Nephrotic syndrome caused by minimal change and other diseases have obvious edema. The water is usually in the outside of blood vessels and the amount in the blood vessels is usually not enough, which leads to the insufficiency of blood in the kidney. When the blood supply is in short, which is serious, acute renal failure will take place. In the treatment, a lot of medications are needed. These medicine can also be the cause of acute renal failure. So we should identify it.
Minimal change kidney disease patients need hormone treatment. The principles are as follows: at the beginning, the dosage should be enough. The speed of reducing dosage should be slow, and the maintain time should be long. Most people can achieve obvious effect and the protein in urine can turn negative. Protein in urine disappears or reduces. It takes a long time to achieve this. It is usually 2 to 3 months. In the course of reducing dosage, it relapses easily. Some rely on hormones. Both of these two conditions need patients use more hormone.
However, on one hand, hormone has side effects and on the other hand, some minimal change kidney disease patients can not use hormone. Is there an alternative therapy for minimal change kidney disease patients?
On the basis that minimal change is caused by abnormal immune, we researched immunotherapy which can treat it according to the pathological mechanism, but also has no side effect in contrast to hormone for it is a comprehensive therapy and contains herbs from nature.

How to Prevent Renal Failure in Patients with Diabetes
Are there risks for patients with Diabetes getting Renal Failure?
The answer is yes. Researches have shown that approximately one third of patients with Diabetes may get Chronic Kidney Failure. The risk is higher among patients aged more than 60 or those with high blood pressure, in addition, having a family member who has Chronic Kidney Disease already may increase the risk.
Why does Renal Failure occur on patients with Diabetes?
Every person has two kidneys and each kidney contains about one million nephrons, the function of which is to filtrate toxic and waste. Each nephron has a glomerulus which contains a cluster of small blood vessels. However, Diabetes can harm kidneys by causing damage to blood vessels for high sugar levels in blood can make these vessels become narrow and even blocked, so there are not adequate blood for the operation of kidneys. Gradually, kidneys lost their function, for which symptoms of kidney disease, such as hematuria, proteinuria, anemia, fatigue and so on may occur. Without effective treatments, the progress of Renal Failure may begin.
How to Prevent Diabetes develops into Renal Failure?
To patients with Diabetes whose kidneys have already been damaged, a series of measures should be taken in order to prevent Renal Failure.
Controlling blood sugar
Actually, the most useful way to reduce damage on kidneys is to control blood sugar level. It is proposed that a test called hemoglobin A1C should be done every three to six months to monitor the average blood sugar level. The normal value for most people is less than 7%. If needed, insulin or hypoglycemic pills should be taken to lower blood sugar level. Furthermore, diet with less sugar and proper exercise are also necessary.
Keeping blood pressure steady
It is known that for diabetic patients with kidney disease, high blood pressure may increase the risk of getting Renal Failure. Therefore, lowering blood pressure is necessary to prevent the occurrence of Renal Failure. In fact, there are many medicines which can control blood pressure such as ACE (angiotensin converting enzyme) and ARB(angiotensin receptor blocker), both of which can benefit diabetic patients even though they don't have high blood pressure because these medicines help to reduce the chance of heart disease. Do remember the normal blood pressure level for Diabetes patients with kidney damage should be less than 130/80.
Limiting protein intake
Enough protein is good for diabetic patients with kidney disease. However, overmuch protein may be dangerous. It is shown that less protein can slow the progress of Renal Failure. Go to a dietitian who is specialized in kidney disease.
Besides the above, limiting the amount of salt in your diet to help control high blood pressure and reduce body swelling.
Diabetic Nephropathy Stage 3 Management
In clinic, Diabetic Nephropathy can be divided into 5 stages. Among them,
stage 3 is critical and the nephrotic sympoms appear such as micro-albumin. In
this article, we will mainly introduce the third stage and the management of
this stage.
The first stage is renal glomerular high filtration stage. GFR(glomerular filtration rate)increase, and the size of kidney becomes bigger are the main feature of this stage. Even patients who have been diagnosed with this disease just now can have this kind of change.
In the second stage, protein which is discharged into urine is normal. However, the structure of glomeruli in this stage is changed already. The membrane of renal glomerular capillary blood vessels increases.
In the third stage, UAE is continuously higher than 20~200ug/min. High filtration may be the main reason for continuous albumin. Of course, it is also due to the long time not control of metabolism. In this stage, blood pressure is a little high. Declining blood pressure can reduce the discharge of albumin to some degree.
In the fourth stage, the characteristic of Diabetic Nephropathy is large amount of protienuria. UAE is more than 200pg/min, which is nonselective proteinuria. With a lot of protein lost in urine, patients can have hypoproteinemia and edema, which form the typical characteristic of Diabetic Nephropathy. We can also consider the fourth stage as the prognosis of the third stage.
How to manage stage 3 of Diabetic Nephropathy? In this stage, the most urgent thing we should do is to control blood sugar and high blood pressure, which will worsen kidney damage if not treated well.
Firstly, control the intake of salt. A lot of research showed that too much salt can activate the amylase, which can promote the digestion of starch. In addition, it can also promote the absorption of free glucose, thus deteriorate the condition. To prevent high blood pressure, patients should control the intake of salt as well. Generally, the intake of salt should be less than 3 g in a day.
To treat high blood pressure in stage 3 of Diabetic Nephropathy, we should apply some Chinese medicine, which contains Chinese herbs and can improve the blood circulation, especially the micro-blood circulation. After the blood vessels are extended, blood stasis will disappear, thus relieving high blood pressure at the same time.

Life Expectancy of People with stage 3 chronic kidney disease
It is no doubt that life is valuable for all the people. What life expectancy
of people with stage 3 chronic kidney disease is a questions concerned many
kidney disease, this article will give kidney disease patients answers.
There are many factors can influence the life expectancy for stage 3 kidney disease patients, such as the age, the gender, the other disease and so on. The most important thing is the conditions of the patients.
For stage 3 kidney disease patients, if you want to prolong the life expectancy, there are many things you need pay attention to, such as your diet, your lifestyle and so on. For kidney disease patients, the main cause for death is renal failure, so reserve kidney disease can prolong greatly the life expectancy. The most effective way for stage 3 kidney disease patients prolong the life expectancy is good treatment for kidney disease, such as Immunotherapy therapy in kidney disease hospital. Here I would like give a brief introduction of the Immunotherapy therapy for stage 3 kidney disease patients.
Immunotherapy in kidney disease hospital is a breakthrough in biomedical science. hey have been called the centrepieces of regenerative medicine – medicine that involves growing new cells, tissues and organs to replace or repair those damaged by injury, disease or aging.
Immunotherapy are the precursors of all cells in the human body. What makes Immunotherapys special is that they are regenerative and malleable. They have the ability to replicate themselves and to repair and replace other tissues in the human body. In addition, Immunotherapy therapy needs no surgery or cause sufferings or blood matching at all, which help the patients save valuable time. It does not have side effects at all.
Clinical data has showed that Immunotherapy therapy can prolong the life expectance of stage 3 kidney disease patients greatly. As a result, there are about 1000 foreigner kidney disease patients come here to perform Immunotherapy therapy. More information, please get from experts on line for free.

How Terrible Is IgA Nephropathy
IgA nephropathy is a kidney disorder that occurs when IgA-a protein that helps the body fight infections-settles in the kidneys. After many years, the IgA deposits may cause the kidneys to leak blood and sometimes protein in the urine. As we all know, if patients with IgA Nephropathy don’t treat it timely, there will be risks for you lives when it turned into uremia after 3to five years.
How terrible is IgA Nephropathy? This is a question confused many patients with it.
Firstly, we should know that IgA nephropathy can occur at any age, even in childhood. More men are affected than women. It has been found all over the world, especially in Caucasians and Asians. It is one of the most common diseases of the kidney, other than those caused by diabetes or high blood pressure.
Secondly, let us learn how terrible IgA Nephropathy is and how it harms our body. IgA Nephropathy is a kidney disease caused by the excessive IGA deposition in our kidney. Why is there excessive IGA deposit in our kidney? Because some cells and tissues in your kidney damaged lead to the kidney can’t work as it is. If IgA Nephropathy can’t be treated timely, it may turn into uremia. As we all know, once you got uremia, your life will be at a risk. So IgA Nephropathy is a killer in your life. What you should do is just kill it when it is still younger killer. IgA Nephropathy is the younger killer in our body. We should control it timely. Life is valuable for all of us. We have dreams which haven’t come out, we have happier life to enjoy and we have many things to do.
There are latest treatments in Kidney Disease Hospital including Chinese Micro-medicine, Immune Therapy and Cell Transplant. All have amazing effects of treating kidney diseases, especially for IgA Nephropathy .They have helped many patients defeat IgA Nephropathy.
Do you still confused about IgA Nephropathy? If the answer is yes, please connect with experts on line. We hope we can do something different and useful for patients with IgA Nephropathy. Our mainly goal is to help patients reduce the pain caused by kidney disease.

What is Atrophy Kidney
Atrophy of kidney means that your kidney is relatively smaller or obviously shrinks. The size of kidneys is up to age, sex, height and weight of the person. Long-term kidney disease will do damage to the kidney units. As the necrosis and hardening of kidney units, the kidneys will become smaller in size. As the kidneys atrophies, the renal function declines as well. When the patients' kidneys become smaller, the disease has already or inevitable developed into Renal Failure or Uremia. Therefore, in order to treat kidney disease, to improve and control atrophy of the kidneys is very important.If you are having painful problems with your kidney, you might have an atrophic kidney. This condition happens when there is a loss of nephrons or poor circulation leading to the kidney. It can shrink the kidney’s size and it can also shrink the blood vessels surrounding the kidney. An atrophic kidney can mimic a urinary tract disease because it can be difficult or impossible to urinate normally. So people who suffer from an atrophic kidney can have the exact same symptoms.
For chalking out an atrophic kidney treatment plan, doctors first need to determine the underlying cause of this condition. Sonography and intravenous urography might not always help in the diagnosis, however, imaging procedures such as CT scan and MRI can surely help in the diagnosis of renal atrophy. The treatment will basically depend on the extent of damage. In case of a urinary tract infection or acute pyelonephritis, use of medications might help, but if one is suffering from renal failure, the treatment will involve dialysis. One must also make certain lifestyle-related changes. Excessive consumption of alcohol can cause severe damage to the kidneys and make one prone to kidney disease, therefore it's recommended that you cut down on your intake of alcohol. If you are suffering from a kidney disease, it would be better to increase your intake of water and follow a renal diet to keep your kidneys in a good condition.

Infections should be Prevented by Diabetics
Diabetics are more likely to suffer from infections, as high blood sugar levels can weaken patients’ immune system defenses. Moreover, some diabetes-related tissue damage such as nerve damage and decreased blood supplement to extremities, also increase patients’ vulnerability to infections.
What kinds of infections are more common in diabetics?
Diabetics are more susceptible for infections in foot, yeast, urinary tract and in surgical site. The insulin injection site may be a possible source for infections. Injections provide a potential gateway for certain immune-suppression agents to enter the blood. For example, common bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus can enter the blood system and cause staph infection.
Another major concern is diabetic neuropathy, or diabetic nerve damage. Patients can experience sensation loss (such as numbness feelings), which sometimes mean injuries go unnoticed. Untreated injuries can lead to infections. Some types of neuropathy can also result in dry and cracked skin, thus allowing an easier entry for infections into the body.
Diabetes can also cause low blood supply to peripheral parts of the body. With less blood flow, the body is less able to mobilize normal immune defenses and nutrients that promote the body’s ability to fight against infections and promote healing.
Warning signs of infections in diabetics
Diabetics should be vigilant for any changes in their body that could be early signs of infections: some patients experience body temperature elevation or change of blood sugar levels; foul-smelling vaginal discharge; pain with urination; cloudy or foul-smelling urine; difficulty or painful swallowing; changes of bowel habits; redness or warmth at any cut or scrape.
What is damage of infections to diabetics?
Diabetics have weakened immune defenses and infections take longer time to heal than others. The damage can be very dangerous for diabetics with severe vascular complications, such as heart disease, cerebral disease, kidney failure and so on. Diabetic patients in hospitals don’t necessarily have a higher morbidity rate due to infections, but they do face longer hospitalization and recovery times.
