Whether the Stem Cell Transplant is effective for the Diabetic Nephropathy

Clinic practice shows that the incidence of the Diabetic Nephropathy increases with the duration of Diabetic. The Diabetic disease in the early stage is showing that the kidney are being a high filtration because of its size enlarged, its glomerulus filtration increased, then gradual onset of interstitial proteinuria and microalbuminuria. With the extension of Diabetic disease course, protein urine, edema, hypertension and the decreased rate of glomerulus filtration would be occurred, then continuous the Renal Insufficiency and Uremia. These are the main causes of death of diabetes. The Diabetic patients have a high glucose in blood, while the glucose is like sediment in the river, when it is flowing through the kidney it can easily adhere to the strainer, make the kidney harder, narrower, obstructed and even destructed. All of these changes are in quietly process, therefore, the Diabetes is like “sugar-coated bomb” which is quietly entering into the kidney. The Diabetic Nephropathy patient should pay attention to the control of glycemic. If this disease treated well in early stage, it can be reversed. Or it cannot be reversed once it is in the stage of clinical albuminuria. Therefore, initial prevention is very important which also require the diabetic nephropathy pay attention to the control of glycemic. The Diabetic Nephropathy patients must pay attention to glycemic control. Hyperglycemia can promote the sodium reabsorption of kidney, which adds extracellular fluid volume, increases releasing of Atrial Natriuretic Factor (ANF). The ANF augments glomerular anterior vessels, constringes glomerular posterior vessels, which lead to form Renal Hypertransfusion and High Filtration; advanced Glycosylation end products can lead to increasing of glomerular basement membrane and mesangial matrix, and then damage the renal structure and function. However, urinary albumin is extremely relevant to the control quality of glycemic, and strict control of glycemic is the key point for preventing and reducing initial diabetic nephropathy. Excessive intake of protein, especially vegetable protein with bigger molecules can aggravate the damage of renal filtration and accelerate the glomerular capillary sclerosis. Although low protein is conducive to protect the kidney, and this diet is too early for the initial diabetic nephropathy therapy. Is stem cell transplant is effective for the diabetic nephropathy? The conventional therapy must be combined with the later treatment. With the development of medical science, stem cell transplant is applied to the therapy of diabetic nephropathy.

Treatment of Diabetic Nephropathy

The main diagnostic base of clinical diabetic nephropathy is proteinuria. If the factors, such as urinary infection, diabetic ketoacidosis, heart failure, glomerulonephritis, can be excluded, it’s more likely to be diabetic nephropathy. DN still has no effective therapy. The treatment principles are:1. To strictly control blood sugar to make the blood sugar close to the normal level, and prevent and delay the occurrence of DN; 2. to delay the rate of kidney function decrease;3.to treat with dialysis or kidney transplant. 1. To strictly control glucose. Before occurring to clinical DN, use insulin pump or multiple subcutaneous insulin injection to control Diabetic Mellitus and keep the glucose the normal level, which can delay even prevent the occurrence and development of DN. It is good for other complications to lower the increasing GFR and improve microalbuminuria. According to The Diabetes Control and Complications Trial(DCCT) study, T1DM treated with insulin intensive treatment can reduce by 35%-55% of the occurrence rate for DN. Controlling glucose for the patients having developed into clinical DN and having obvious proteinuria is less useful for disease development. Hypoglycemic drugs will change into insulin after occurring to Clincial DN. 2. To control hypertension. Hypertension can accelerate the development of Renal Failure. The effective hypotensive treatment can slower the speed of GFR reduction and decrease the output of urinary albumin. Angiotensin coverting enzyme inhibitor or angiotensin Ⅱ receptor antagonist can be the first choice, and often used together with other hypotensive drugs, such as calcium antagonists, diuresis, β adrenergic receptor, methyldopa, and clonidine. If patients’ pressure is more than ≥130//80mmHg 3. Limit in protein intake. Proper reducing protein intake in food can decrease the intraglomerular pressure, high filtration and proteinuria. In contrast, high protein food may aggravate glomerular histological lesion. Patient with renal insufficiency should strictly control protein intake and take high quality protein containing essential amino-acid. 4. Dialysis and kidney transplantation。 Once patients progress to renal failure, the only effective ways are dialysis and kidney transplantation. Kidney transplantation is the best treatment for diabetic nephropathy, prior to dialysis. But for the patients over age of 65, the after-transplantation effect is poor.

How to Prevent the Occurence of End-Stage Renal Failure (ESRF)

Patients with Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD), Diabetes, hypertension, Nephrotic Syndrome, glomerular nephritis, frequent urinary tract infections (UTI), etc, are all susceptible for end-stage kidney disease. End-stage kidney failure patients may need to go dialysis or do kidney transplantation to sustain life. If we want to prevent the occurrence of end-stage renal failure, we need to be sure of some warning signs of kidney injuries: 1. Edema in eyelids, ankles, face, lower limbs, etc. Usually, protein loss in urine will go hand in hand with edema in kidney disease patients. Severe edema can result in short breath. 2. Frequent urinations at night, which is detectable if renal tubular reabsorption ability is damaged. 3. Foams or bubbles in urine which don′t disappear for a long time- this is a warning sign for protein loss caused by impaired glomerular filtration membrane. 4. Anemia. Anemia will happen as the kidneys can no longer produce enough erythropoietin- a hormone that promotes production of red blood cells. Patients will often feel very overfatigued. 5. Toxins such as creatinine and blood urea nitrogen levels increase gradually in blood, so the patient will have the following symptoms: Symptoms in digestive tract: poor appetite, vomiting and nausea; Poor sleeping quality Skin itching 6. Decreasing urine output. A main function of kidneys is to remove excess water from the body. With gradual loss of functioning kidney function, patients will find themselves making less and less urine. If you have some of the above symptoms, it is necessary to do full check-ups about your kidney condition. There are actually many inducing factors for kidney diseases. All in all, early detection, proper treatment and careful nursing measures protect you from entering end-stage kidney failure. Do you have any other questions? You can send an email to the experts in Funeng Kidney Disease Hospital,or you also can call the phone number directly. Our experts will reply you as soon as possible.

Fruits for the Patients with Kidney Disease

Eating a balanced diet is important for good healthy, especially for people with Kidney Disease. As fruits contain abundant vitamins, the patients are often recommended to eat more fruits in their daily diet. However, some fruits may contain substances that can aggravate kidney function. Therefore, the patients with Kidney Disease should know what fruits are beneficial to their health. Here a list of the fruits that benefit to the Kidney Disease patients. 1. Apples Apples are rich in fiber and anti-inflammatory properties. They are helpful in reducing cholesterol level and decrease the incidence of complications like heart disease. 2. Red grapes Red grapes contain several flavonoids. They can prevent oxidation and reduce the formation of blood clots thus decreasing the incidence of heart disease. Moreover, a kind of flavonoid resveratrol in grapes can promote the production of nitric oxide, which can relax the muscle in blood vessels. In this way, it can promote the blood circulation and relive the renal ischemia and anoxia. In addition, the flavonoids can prevent the renal inflammation. 3. Cherries Cherries are abundant of antioxidants that are beneficial in protecting heart. If the patients can eat the fruits daily, it can reduce the renal inflammation. 4. Strawberries Strawberries contain two types of antioxidants and lots of vitamin C and fibers. These integrants in strawberries have anti-inflammation properties and also are beneficial in protecting heart health. 5. Blueberries Blueberries contain compounds antioxidants anthocyanidins and are also abundant of nutrients, vitamin C and fibers. They can reduce the kidney inflammation. Also the manganese in blueberries can contribute bone health. If you are or your loved one is Kidney Disease suffer, you should ask your renal dietitian to make a kidney-friendly diet plan and remove the foods that are bad to your kidneys from your daily food list.

How to Reduce Creatinine and Urea Level

High creatinine and urea level is usually considered as a sign of renal damage which may arouse the nervous of patient to worry about their health, for renal problems may easily develop into renal failure or uremia in a short term. Thereby most patients are seeking an effective method to reduce their high creatinine and urea level. Dietary control Vegetarian and non-greasy diet is a good choice for patients with kidney disease. Creatinine is the waste product of creatine which is resolved for providing energy to contract muscle. And dietary sources of creatine are only fond in animal products, so patients need to avoid the animal foods and go on a light diet. When the body metabolizes protein, the liver makes urea as the end products that will be discharged by kidney through urine. However, decreased ability of impaired kidney is the root cause of high blood urea. Limited protein food can help to reduce the high level of urea, but patients need protein to sustain body’s health. Thereby they should have less food which contains high-quality protein to supply protein to their tissues as well as to avert from product too much urea. Traditional treatment Patients have some options in choosing medicines to reduce the high level of creatinine and urea. Some of medicines may have a good effect to sweep out creatinine and urea through the intestinal tract. Some of them can be combined with other factors in the blood to produce harmless substances to body. But none of them can repair renal cells and tissues in order to filter the creatinine and urea by the kidneys. The new therapy for reducing creatinine and urea We use the most natural medicine---traditional Chinese medicine which can diminish inflammation and provide essential substances to rebuild renal cells. Besides, Chinese medicine can dilate the blood vessels and speed up the blood circulation so as to give more blood and oxygen to the renal tissues, which is favor to the recovery of renal cells. Provided increasing renal functions, kidney will have more ability to filter the toxins easily. Many therapies or methods are supplied for you to choose and your kidney and body health depends on your choice. Would you want to reduce your creatinine and urea level?

Will Diabetic Nephropathy be cured


Diabetic nephropathy is the complication of diabetes mellitus, and the death rate is relatively high, so it is very is of great importance to treat the diabetic nephropathy effectively in the early stage, which will be helpful to improve the life quality of the patients with diabetic nephropathy and delay the progress of this disease.
Generally, it is very difficult to cure this disease completely, which need to insist on conservative treatment and insist on the treatment of controlling blood sugar and protecting renal function. Presently, the main treatment of diabetic nephropathy include diet control, following the doctor’ advice to take hypoglycemic agents or to inject insulin and preventing the complication actively. Besides, they should also develop a good living habit and do some exercise. The over-weight patients should keep on a diet and keep the weight back to a normal range. Red Sun nephropathy found the ion-introduction therapy, which is a great-leap-forward development in the clinical treatment of nephropathy and uremia. The biggest advantage of this the therapy is that it could protect the intact nephrons from getting damaged pathologically and save those nephrons that has been damaged but are not totally completely sclerotic and necrotic as well. Thus improve the glomerular filtration rate, restore the kidney function and delay the development of renal failure. If you still have any question, you can communicate with the expert in kidney disease.

Symptoms of Purpura Nephritis


Symptoms of Purpura Nephritis
Purpura nephritis is very common in children, but many people in any ages can be affected. For purpura nephritis is liable to impair kidneys, patients should prevent or block its coming after they have had HSP. So some knowledge about symptoms of purpura nephritis is essential for patients who have had HSP or been at the risk.
The primary symptoms of HSP are purpura, arthritis and abdominal pain, which are bound to appear as a trilogy.
The purple rashes are caused by the bleeding of the capillary in skin, which are presented as small purple spots primarily developing into big or large sheets. Some of the purple rashes are swelling and higher than skin surface. They are spread all over in the body, especially in the face, neck, buttocks and legs.
The arthritis can affect many joint, such as elbow, knees, spine and ankle. When abnormal immune system flares in the joint, the cartilages between the bones are broken down, resulting in joint pain, swelling (inflammation) and stiffness.
Abdominal pain is characterized by a colicky pain, and sometimes may be accompanied by nausea, vomiting and bloody stools. The vasculitis caused by SHP may lead to the swelling of gut, resulting in serious and intermittent pain sometimes due to the intussusceptions (especially in children).
The vasculitis caused by HSP is vital to the damage of renal function. Hematuria and proteinuria are the main signs to predict that inflammation appear in the kidney tissue and destruction takes place. Almost 40% of patients with SHP involve in the kidney disease.
Most patients have evidence of blood in urine (hematuria); while only one forth of patients has this symptom which is not noticeable without special tests. More than half of patients also have proteinuria. If patients miss the best time to treat, the condition may develop more serious. One eight of patient may progress to nephrotic syndrome which is marked by protein in urine, swelling, high cholesterol levels and low blood protein.
All above are the most symptoms of purpura nephritis which is a process that disordered immune system causes a series of vasculitis disease and develops more serious to affect the renal function. Patients should grasp the best time to have an effective treatment in the early stage. Otherwise, the worst stage, uremia may be coming soundlessly. If you have some symptoms, please consult us online.

Does Chronic Renal Failure need dialysis


Chronic kidney failure is a kind of clinical syndrome which is caused by kidney damage and progressive deterioration that is resulted by various disease causes. When do kidney disease patients begin to do dialysis? Generally speaking, when renal failure develops into uremia, the patients have severe complications and some clinical symptoms, such as vomiting, nausea, skin itching and heart failure, besides, too much toxins accumulated in the body, the patients should do dialysis actively.
Dialysis has its certain positive treatment significance and it can slow down the patients’ disease condition. When the renal function is damaged more seriously, the toxins in the body can not be excreted from the body, which will damage each organs of the whole body and even threaten the patients’ life. For chronic renal failure patients, when their renal insufficiency, they need to do dialysis.
However, when patients take dialysis more frequently, it will lead to losing renal function and some complications, such as anemia, hypertension and dialysis bone disease, etc.
Therefore, here we recommend you Funeng Therapy, which is such a therapy used externally and nearly has no side effects. And in this therapy, we combine traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine; besides, Funeng therapy is not only a simple therapy, but also related to other sides of patients’ living, including medicine, nursing, psychology, emotion, nutrition, diet, exercise, rehabilitation and etc.
If you want to know more about our therapy, you can send an email to the experts in Xi'an Tongji Kidney Disease Hospital or you also can consult our online kidney experts.

Why Are You Suffering From Uremia


Why do people suffer from Uremia? The most direct reason for the patients is that they may have kidney diseases before. As everyone knows, if various kidney diseases such as Chronic Nephritis, Lupus Nephritis, Purpura Nephritis and so on, which are not well treated or lose control, they will finally develop into Uremia. The renal tissues may totally become fibrosis, which lead loss of renal function, and people have to take dialysis or kidney transplant.
What Are The Symptoms of Uremia?
Uremia is the generic terms of a series of toxic symptoms appeared in the End Stage Renal Failure. During the period of Uremia, besides the further aggravation of the following symptoms, such as disorder of water, electrolyte and acid-base balance as well as anemia, bleeding tendency, hypertension and so on, patients may occur the clinical manifestations of toxication caused by multiple system organ failure and material metabolism failure.
If you want to know more advantages of our hospital in treating Uremia, you can leave a message to our expert, we will reply you as soon as possible.

Renal Fibrosis in Chronic Nephritis


Renal fibrosis is a kind of pathological changing process, in which the kidneys are damaged gradually until the kidneys fail completely. Renal fibrosis is an important cause in causing Chronic Nephritis progression.
In Chronic Nephritis, various causes cause renal injury and releasing of inflammatory factors resulting in inflammatory response and enhanced cellar activity. As the renal functional cells get more damage, the cells begin to have phenotypic transformation and ossify and lose function gradually. This is the early stage of renal fibrosis, in which more than half of the renal function still keeps normal so the patients do not present obvious symptoms yet. If the renal fibrosis process is not inhibited effectively, the renal function will keep declining further. When the renal fibrosis approaches to the middle stage, the levels of creatinine, BUN etc will rise obviously. With the progression of renal fibrosis, more and more nephrons lose their normal function. When the residual nephrons are less than 15%, the disease develops into End Stage Renal Failure, namely Uremia. In this stage, nearly all nephrons are ossified. In clinic, the patients will have a series of serious complications like brain disease, heart disease, systemic poisoning symptoms etc.
From the above we can see that if the Chronic Nephritis can not be controlled effectively in its early stage, it will activate the renal fibrosis. Further more, if the renal fibrosis can not be blocked, it will cause the renal function to decline gradually. The key to prevent Renal Failure is to block renal fibrosis.
As the inflammatory response is the primary cause of renal fibrosis, the patients should firstly take relevant treatment to prevent the releasing of the inflammatory factors. In this way, they will be able to prevent Chronic Nephritis from developing into Renal Failure.
If you or your loved one is Chronic Nephritis suffer and want to know other aspects on Chronic Nephritis, you can consult us on line or leave a message blow.

How to Lower Your Creatinine Level


Creatinine is a metabolic product of creatine, and creatine is a substance in your body to store energy. A rise in your creatinine levels may be a sign of an underlying problem. And furthermore, high creatinine level could induce metabolic disorder and lesions concerning many systems in the body. So here you can see how to lower creatinine levels.
The higher creatinine level could be induced by a lot of reasons. Find out the underlying reasons for high creatinine level can be helpful for us to lower the creatinine effectively.
People with Renal Insufficiency or Kidney Failure even or Diabetes can have high creatinine levels gradually without warning. As the kidneys are damaged, creatinine and other toxins and wastes are unable to be completely eliminated out of the body, so the accumulation of creatinine in the body certainly leads to the higher creatinine level.
Directing at this cause, the main focus should be placed on treating kidneys or diabetes or any other underlying diseases, while emergent measures should also be adopted so as to remove these creatinines as soon as possible, because the more time retention of creatinine, the more damage they cause to the body.
Natural Immune Balance Therapy is proposed in our hospital for the purpose of treating Kidney Disease effectively, obviously, only the kidneys are well repaired, we could really lower the creatinine levels.
Some complicated diseases such as infection, pneumonia, intestinal infection and urinary infection even catching cold may also make creatinine level elevated in a short time.
Another reason for high creatinine leve is due to the diet or some medications, or due to the life reasons. A diet that is high in protein can raise the creatinine levels in the blood. Also, try to reduce the intake of meat and add more vegetables to your diet are useful in lowering your creatinine levels. Some medications such as aspirin can also elevate your creatinine levels. Life inattentions, for example, over fatigue, bad rest, may also lead to the high creatinine level.
If patients suffer from high blood pressure, and the blood pressure is not well controlled for a long time, and if there is abundant proteinuria(overall amount of protein within 24 hours are surpassing 1g or even 1.5g), in such cases, creatinine may increase gradually. Maybe you have gotten a general knowledge about how to lower creatinine level, in one word, treating the underlying reason is the basic point.
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 as soon as possible.

Can the Patients with Chronic Nephritis Be Treated Effectively


Chronic Nephritis usually starts without obvious symptoms and has a long course. It has different pathological types which induces various clinical manifestations. Edema is mostly the first symptom to be seen, which shows various levels of severity. However, the same or severer pathologic changes can usually be found again, after Chronic Nephritis recovers. Can Chronic Nephritis be treated effectively? This article will give detailed information as follows.
Clinically, western medicine regards hormone, cytotoxic drugs and hypotensor as common drugs for Chronic Nephritis and those drugs ally together can control symptoms rapidly. However, under the influence of hormone, the disease becomes easy to relapse and even slight cold or fatigue can be a trigger. At that time, more hormones need adding into treatment. With vicious circle repeating, the disease becomes out of control gradually and the side effects of those drugs begin to appear: some patients can be found moon shaped face, buffalo bump and allergy to infection. Some others even can be found Osteoporosis and Femoral Head Necrosis. From above, we can see hormone is not the best choice of treating Chronic Nephritis.
The key treatment on Chronic Nephritis is to block renal fibrosis and repair damaged renal function, thus achieving a better curative effect. Then how to achieve the goal? The answer is: Treat timely. Otherwise, Chronic Nephritis may induce Renal Injury, then Renal Fibrosis, Renal Failure and even Uremia.
In order to solve this problem, after years of research and experiment, our hospital adopts Natural Immune Balance Therapy to treat all kinds of Chronic Nephropathy, including Chronic Glomerulonephritis. Natural Immune Balance Therapy is an advanced treatment in treating end stage of kidney disease in the world. China is the leading country in using Funeng Therapy in clinic. Besides, Natural Immune Balance Therapy is a traditional Chinese medicine, without any side-effect for the human body.
Through the treatment of Natural Immune Balance Therapy, all symptoms of Nephropathy disappear slowly. Even Chronic Glomerulonephritis patients who appear to have slight or moderate Renal Injury can be found the maximized recovery of renal function, blocking Uremia and thus restoring normal life and work for patients.

Advice for patients with relapses of Nephrotic Syndrome

1. Prevent cold and infection actively
Cold and infection are the leading to factors for relapse of kidney disease, including Nephrotic Syndrome. Also, it is reported patients who gets cold and infection frequently run high risk for acute kidney failure. Seeing from this point of view, preventing cold and infection is very beneficial for Nephrotic Syndrome patients.
2. Do not be too tired or exhausted
A relaxed life also plays an important part in preventing relapse of Nephrotic Syndrome and some patients report their illness relapses easily when they live a stressful life, so try to live an easy life and avoid staying up at night.
3. Avoid foods that may worsen your kidney condition
Strict diet restriction is an essential part of prevention for relapse of Nephrotic Syndrome. The exact diet instruction is closely based on patients’ specific illness condition, so if you want to learn about the exact diet for you, you can describe your illness condition to our on-line doctors and then get practical suggestions.
4. Get Nephrotic Syndrome treated fundamentally
In many cases of Nephrotic Syndrome, patients are just prescribed with some medicines to control their symptoms, and they do nothing with repairing of damaged kidney tissues. Actually, Nephrotic Syndrome patients experience a series of discomforts as kidneys are damaged and can not function properly. Under such a condition, only when kidney damages are repaired and kidney function gets improved, can symptoms be remitted or removed radically. Dead kidney tissues can not be revived, but some injured kidney intrinsic cells can be repaired, so do not give up these kidney cells and by repairing them, kidney function can be improved.
The above are the several advices for patients with relapse of Nephrotic Syndrome. And if there is anything unclear, please leave us message in the below and our experts will give a replay within 48 hours.

Five Special Tests for Immunization



Five items for immunization include IgA, IgG, IgM, complement C3 and C4. Changes of those indexes, under some circumstances, signal certain diseases and help diagnose.

1. IgG is also known as immunoglobulin G. Glomerular damage severity can be found by detecting changes of IgG in serum. General speaking, the content of IgG in umbilical cord blood is around 7.6-17g/L and 6-16g/L in adults.
When would IgG elevate? People with chronic liver disease, subacute or chronic infections, connective tissue diseases, IgG myeloma or asymptomatic monoclonal IgG disease etc. may suffer from increased IgG level. Immunoglobulin G reduces in the case of Nephrotic Syndrome, receiving immunosuppressant, selective IgG deficiency, mixed immunodeficiency syndrome, inherited or acquired antibody syndrome, protein-losing enteropathy or myotonic dystrophy etc.
Immunoglobulin A is a major immunoglobulin in secretion, which plays an important part in local immunity.
2. Increased IgA signals acute nephritis and other diseases mediated by immune inflammatory response. They can be autoimmune disease, such as SLE or rheumatoid arthritis, and also may include IgA Nephropathy, chronic liver disease, IgA myeloma, breast cancer and subacute or chronic infectious disease, for example, tuberculosis and fungus infection etc. Immunoglobulin A may lower under circumstance of burn, latter half of gestation, immunodeficiency disease, selective IgA deficiency, inherited or acquired antibody syndrome, anti-IgA antibody syndrome or immunosuppressant therapy.
3. Content of IgM in umbilical cord blood is 40-240mg/L, newborn in blood is 50-300mg/L while adults is 400-3450mg/L.
Increased IgM indexes are often in accordance with malaria, infectious mononucleosis, mycoplasma pneumonia, hepatopathy, connective tissue disease, macroglobulinemia or asymptomatic monoclonal IgM disease etc. Meanwhile, burn, acquired antibody syndrome, mixed immunodeficiency syndrome or immunodepression etc. would decrease the level of IgM.
4. Detection of complements such as C3 and C4 could instruct later treatments and also become a pretty vital index for future diagnosis and prognosis. Reduced C3 and C4 occur in active immune complex nephropathy, such as Lupus Nephritis, while elevated complement concentration can be seen in people with acute gout, diabetes, ulcerative colitis, acute myocardial infarction, obstructive jaundice, dermatomyositis and so on.
Thses are the five special tests for immunization. If you have some other questions about test or the treatment of immunization disease, please contect with our online exports. I hope you all well.

How to Treat Proteinuria Occurring in Patients with IgA Nephropathy


What measures should be taken when a large amount of protein urine occurs in patients with IgA Nephropathy. It is a main clinical manifestation in patients. So how to treat it becomes very important.
Hormone is medicine most frequently used by patients to treat protein urine. It is exactly right that hormone has great effects on treatment for protein urine and is able to decrease protein in a short time even becoming negative. However, it often occurs in patients that protein urine is likely to appear again when they have a cold. They also experience the hormonal side effects strongly. Every time protein urine appears, the condition will be more severe. Created by Funeng Kidney Disease Hospital, Traditional Chinese medicine iontophoresis will send the active ingredient of Chinese medicine to the damaged part of kidney making the most of medicine. It has great curative effect of Nephrotic Syndrome, IgA Nephropathy, Purpuric Nephritis, Lupus Nephritis and Nephritis. Thousands of people is treated with Traditional Chinese medicine iontophoresis Funeng therapy, getting well public praise.
1. In addition, diet as the subsidiary treatment is needed for patients with protein urine.
Patients should make sure the enough intake of high -quality protein within diet. Patients had better not to eat too salt food in case of increasing the burden of kidney which can drop the ability to filter protein.
2. Prevent the cold to reduce the chances of inducing protein urine.
3. Avoid overstrain and keep proper physical activity.
4. Follow the advice of doctors to pay attention to details in life.
5. Mental self care
In daily life, people should notice the words and behaviors. Trepidation and scream will make patients upset and terrified. So it is very important to be of good heart for patients, which is benefit for their recovery.
If you have any question about IgA kidney disease, you can consult experts online for more information, they will be glad to help you.

Diet of Renal Cyst Patients


For renal cyst patients, except accepting medical treatment positively, they should also pay attention to their diets. Healthy diets could help to control the advance of cysts, the following diet princle for your reference:
1. Control salt intake
Patients should strictly control their intake of salt in 3-5g per day. Especially for patients who have swelling, too much salt can make it severer.
2. Limit diary products
Diary products will increase the burden of kidneys, causing dehydration. Most cheese and ice cream contain added salt, which will increase blood pressure. so the diary products should be limited and the cheese should not be more than 1 oz. one week.
3. Balance intake of protein
Patients who present proteinuria (protein in urine) should take some foods containing high quality proteins. The proteins can be found in eggs (without yolk), lean meat and so on.
4. Have some foods containing alkaline
Study shows that the diet of alkaline can lower the growth of kidney cysts. We can find alkaline from apples, watermelon, bananas, melons, kiwi, cabbage, spinach, greens, turnip greens, swiss chard, romaine and so on.
5. Others
Patients should avoid taking spicy food such as hot pepper, chocolate, coffee, shrimp, marine fish, crab, and so on. What is more, they can not drinking and smoking.
In our hospital, there are specialist nutrionists to provide you diet plan according to your own condition, and there′s also specialist dining room for patients, if you have any question, please feel free to contact with us. Wish you recover early.

What Patients with End-Stage Renal Failure (Uremia Should) Eat


When kidney disease develops into End-Stage Renal Failure (Uremia Should), patients should be strict in the diet. On one hand, the protein and energy they take in should not add the burden of the damaged kidney. on the other hand, the food they take in should maintain the nitrogen balance, correct hypoproteinemia, anemia, promote the immunity. Therefore, proper diet plays an important role in treating Uremia(end-stage of renal failure). What patients
with Uremia(end-stage of renal failure) should pay attention to go as follows:
The principle that patients with Uremia(end-stage of renal failure) should follow is that the food should be low in salt, phosphorus, potassium, saturated fatty acid, and rich in vitamin, which in a word is “five low and one high”.
How about the degree of the food?
Generally, it depends on whether patients are under dialysis or not. Some of them do not get to dialysis stage and the others are under dialysis. As for the former ones, they should accept the following aspects:
Low salt
Generally, the daily intake of salt should be 2-3g, including gourmet powder, which is rich in sodium, soda biscuit, fine dried noodles, deep-fried dough sticks. In addition, patients with severe edema should avoid salt, and keep salt below 1 g. when the urine increases and the edema disappears, they can increase the salt to 2-3g per day.
Low potassium
The metabolic disorder of potassium is common in patients with Uremia, end-stage of renal failure. It should be corrected in time or else, severe results such as heart damage will take place.
The principle as follows:
If potassium in blood is high than normal, patients should limit the sylvite strictly, especially the oral Chinese medicine which contains much potassium. When the potassium in blood is normal, (dilution low potassium is not included), and the urine is more than 1000ml per 24 hours, potassium is not necessary to control. If the potassium in blood increases, and the urine amount is less than 1000ml, we should limit the food rich in potassium.
Avoid food rich in phosphorus
Because GFR is decreased for patients with Uremia(end-stage of renal failure), the secretion of phosphorus declines. So patients are in high phosphorus. At the same time, because the absorption of calcium decreases, it also worsens the above-mentioned condition. Food rich in phosphorus is such as sea food, including plant and animals living in water, animal pluck, sesame, peanut, nut, honey, egg white, tea leaf, fried fruit, etc.
Low protein
Patients with Uremia, end-stage of renal failure should take in high quality low protein from milk, egg white, lean meat, etc. according to specific condition, patients should take in 50-100g lean meat per day or 2-3 egg white. Fresh milk should also depend on specific condition. Here, we should point out that the plant protein in bean product is called coarse protein, which contains less essential amino-acid. What’s more, after metabolism, bean product produces much more urea nitrogen. So Bean product should be forbidden. The main principle for low protein supply is that the total amount should be less than 20-30, including plant protein in staple food.
Low fat
The energy that patients with Uremia, end-stage of renal failure need mainly is from sugar and fat. The change of fat can influence the development of kidney disease. some uremia patients, such as those with chronic nephritis, membranous nephropathy, serious mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis, have high fat and even hypercholesterolemia. Especially for those with nephrotic syndrome, they have metabolic disturbance of cholesterol, excessive intake if oil and fat will worsen the renal arteriosclerosis.
If you still have any questions, welcome to consult the experts on line or email us. We are very glad to help you.

Pathogenesis of Uremia


Uremia has a series of autologous poisoning symptoms, which is caused by the accumulation of metabolism and water, disorders of eletrolyte, acid-base balance and endocrine, when Acute or Chronic Renal Insufficiency develop into a severe stage.
Patients with Uremia can not excrete waste and excess water of metabolism with urine by kidney. Modern Medicine thinks that Uremia is not an independent disease but a complex syndrome, which occurs when patients lost their renal function and the internal biochemical processes are disorders.
Pathogenesis of Uremia
One, Various of Primary Glomerular Nephritis such as Membranoproliferative Glomerular Nephritis, Rapid Progress Glomerular Nephritis(RPGN), Membraneous Glomerulus Nephritis (MGN) and Focal Glomeruloscerosis, etc, if not effectively treated it can lead to Uremia.
Two, Uremia can be secondary to systemic disease such as Hypertension and Arteriosclerosis, Systemic Lupus Erythematosus(SLE),Allergic Purpura Nephritis, Diabetes and Gouty, etc.
Three, Chronic kidney infectious diseases such as Chronic Pyelonephritis.
Four, Chronic urinary tract obstruction: for example renal calculus, double side of ureteral calculi, Urinary tract stenosis, prostatic hyperplasia and tumour, etc.
Five, Congenital renal diseases: it includes Polycystic Kidney Disease(PKD), Hereditary Nephritis and various kinds of Congenital renal tubular dysfunction.
Six, other causes: for example, taking renal toxic medicine or blindly losing weight can lead to Uremia.

How Long Can the Uremia Patient Live with Dialysis


How long can the Uremia patient live with dialysis? In fact, most of the Uremia patients can recover completely without dialysis, when their illness condition is in the early stage. As the dialysis is not only one of the traditional treatment methods for Uremia, but also the currently most popular western method. After receiving uremia patients, most hospitals will suggest taking dialysis. But “popular” is not equal to “suitable”. Once the uremia patient began to take dialysis, it will be difficult to get rid of. Long-term dependence on dialysis, the kidney will be inevitable scrapped finally, turning to kidney transplantation. But the high treatment cost of kidney transplantation make many Uremia patients go no further. So, many Uremia patients can not help but inquire on the internet: How long the Uremia patients can live with dialysis!
The situations vary with each individual from 2 or 3years to decades. So, how long can the patient live with dialysis generally?
If the economic condition permits, guaranteeing sufficient hemodialysis to decrease complications, and patient own condition is not bad, of that kind, the patient can live more than twenty years. The patient must do proper exercises, maintain regular life, supply adequate nutrition, avoid being tired and prevent cold or other diseases, for they may aggravate renal failure.
At present, the data displays that if all the conditions go smoothly, the survival time of hemodialysis is similar to kidney transplant. About 80% patients can live more than one year, 60% patients can live more than 5 years. Within the first five years, death is mainly caused by too late dialysis and most patients are accompanied with severe complications, such as diabetes. In addition, the patients’ age is relatively high. Afterward, moreover, for the senile patients, even they have not entered into the Uremia Stage, it is uncertain whether the patients will have other accident or not within that five years.
The cause of death for the renal failure patients is due to heart, brain, and lung complications. Heart may be aggravated by anemia and edema etc. Hyperkalemia and Metabolic acidosis (caused by food), etc. may also lead to die. High blood pressure can cause cerebral hemorrhage.
As to the treatment, here we recommend our Natural Immune Balance Therapy. Natural Immune Balance Therapy is an advanced treatment in treating end stage of kidney disease in the world. China is the leading country in using Natural Immune Balance Therapy in clinic. Besides, Natural Immune Balance Therapy is a traditional Chinese medicine iontophoresis, without any side-effect for the human body.

Is Nephrotic Syndrome with SLE Curable


Q: Nephrotic Syndrome with SLE, is this curable? Now my blood pressure is around 140/90 and urine protein within 24hours is 960mg. Why I want to know if there is any kind of danger in future if this continues?
A: Hi, regarding to your first question: is Nephrotic Syndrome with SLE curable, I am so sorry to tell you there is no cure as of now, but please do not worry, your kidney condition can be improved with right treatment.
Nephrotic Syndrome is a condition that is often caused by any of a group of diseases that damage the kidneys’ filtering system. Normally, protein can be prevented from being leaked, and when the filtering system is affected, protein will leak out and form proteinuria. This is the reason why 960mg protein can be found in your urine everyday. Are you receiving any treatment now? If you left your illness condition alone, much more protein will be found in urine and your illness condition will become more and more serious.
Besides, for your second questions, I’d like to know is your SLE controlled or not? SLE is an autoimmune disease, which can involve all the symptoms of your body, so it is also a threat to your kidney. You mentioned your blood pressure is 140/90 which is a little higher than the normal range 120/80. To protect residual kidney function, it is necessary to bring your blood pressure into normal range.
Lastly, according to your illness condition, I suggest you to try Immunotherapy which not only helps you improve kidney function, but also remit SLE. Immunotherapy is a combination of western medicines and Chinese medicines. It shows more obvious treatment effects compared with simple Chinese medicine or western medicines. If you are interested in this treatment and want to learn more, you can leave message to us and we send you more detailed information about it.

Can Complex Kidney Cyst Cause Back Pain and Blood Urine


Q: I have done a MRI that suspects there is a complex cyst in the extreme upper pole of the left kidney. Recently, I have terrible back pain and blood in my urine. I am wondering whether complex kidney cyst could cause back pain and blood urine.
A: Complex kidney cyst indeed can cause back pain and blood urine. Different from simple kidney cyst, complex cyst has irregular cyst lining, shape and internal structure. The internal walls in complex cyst can divide it into many parts. Just because of these irregular walls, complex cyst has a high risk of developing kidney cancer.
A complex cyst is filled with fluid, but it may also have tissues inside of it. These tissues, called enhancements, mean that part of complex kidney cyst gets a blood supply. As more and more fluid fills in cyst, the growing cyst, sometimes larger than the kidney itself, is more likely to stretches its wall and put pressure on kidney or other organs. In this condition, back pain occurs easily.
At the same time, an enlarged cyst present on the surface of the kidney might be pressed by the surrounding tissues, leading to burst. Then, a ruptured cyst can cause severe back pain, blood urine or even sepsis. If left untreated timely, a life-threatening situation might arise.

Is Tylenol Good for People with Fever After Dialysis



Q: I have been undergoing dialysis for several months. After the last dialysis treatment, I have high fever and chills. I know Tylenol can help treat high fever. Can I use it? Is Tylenol good for people with fever after dialysis?

A: Dialysis is usually used for kidney failure patients to maintain their basic life, but it may easily cause some complications and fever is just one complication. Normally, three underlying conditions can induce fever for dialysis patients.

1. Cold dialyzate: If the dialyzate is too cold but flow into patients’ body, it is more likely to cause fever.
2. Infections: Dialysis has two common types: hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. People on peritoneal dialysis usually have a high incidence than ones on hemodialysis. Once patients suffer from infections, fever and chills may occur easily.
3. Pyrogen reaction: It is another cause of fever for people on dialysis.
Tylenol is one common medicine that can be used as pain relief or fever reducer. However, for people on dialysis, we don’t recommend this medicine. This is because it may cause adverse reaction for the liver and kidney. Dialysis patients commonly have severe kidney damage. Incorrect use of any medication can lead to irreversible condition.
Since fever after dialysis is due to different factors, making an accurate is a guarantee for the following treatment. Then, take medicine with the doctor’s guidance.

What is the Diet of IgA Nephropathy


1.The diet for IgA nephropathy patients should be light and easy to be digested and try to avoid sea products, beef, mutton, spicy and excitant foods such as alcohol, spiced aniseed, parsley,coffee, etc.
2.Have more fresh vegetables and fruits and moderate water ; avoid all cordial, tonic, and foods that are easy to cause excessive internal heat such as hot pepper, litchi, chocolate, etc especially those that suffer from stasis syndrome like bosom frowsty, abdominal distension, etc.
3.In case of severe edema, patients should have no salt and limit the intake of protein and water; if the edema is not so serious, patients can have low-salt diet and if there is no edema, patients need not control water and protein. Patients that have microscopic hematuria should drink more water and eat more foods that have cooling effects such as apple, sugar, black sesame, edible fungus, etc.

What are the Symptoms of IgA Nephropathy


1. Recurrent hematuria (30-40%)
Usually occurs hours or 1-2 days after upper respiratory tract infections.
Many have no other symptoms. Some cases can be easily misdiagnosed as acute bladder inflammation due to urinary discomforts.
Seen in 80-90% children and youngsters; and 30-40% adults.
Seen in LevelⅡ~Ⅲ
2. Chronic nephritis.
Microscopic hematuria
High blood pressure is commonly seen.
Kidney function is likely to decline.
Pathological type LevelⅡ~Ⅳ
3. Heavy proteinuria or Nephrotic syndrome
Most have high blood pressure
Some have symptoms of Nephrotic syndrome-proteinuria, swelling and hypoproteinemia. Microscope indicates Minimal change and moderate diffuse proliferative nephritis.
Level Ⅰ~Ⅳ
4. Malignant hypertension:
Uncontrolled high blood pressure.
Often combined with renal insufficiency.
Protein urine+-+++, microscopic hematuria is sometimes detected.
5. Acute Nephritis syndrome.
Kidney function deteriorates continuously. Persistent reducing urine output.
Protein in urine+-++
Most have high blood pressure and anemia
Pathology often indicates cresent nephritis. Lee Level IV~V.

What are the Effects of Ketosteril for Lowering Creatinine



Ketosteril is generally known as Compound α-Ketoacid Tablets and it is used for preventing and treating renal damages due to protein metabolism disorder in chronic kidney disease and the effects are better with low-protein diets. It is usually applied to those that have glomerular filtration rate (GFR) less than 25ml/min and the standard of low-protein diet is 40g/day or less for adults.

There are many treatments for chronic renal failure and in recent years both eastern and western scholars advocate the use of ketosteril to treat chronic kidney disease and help lower creatinine level. Metabolic disorders of protein, amino acid are very common among renal failure patients and they are in a state of negative nitrogen balance. Ketosteril can supply amino acid and reduce the producing of urea and help lower the level of creatinine and urea nitrogen and at the same time improve the nutritional status.
The combination of ketosteril and low-protein diet can achieve the following functions:
1. Alleviate the symptoms of uremia. The symptoms and discomforts of uremia are caused by the excessive accumulation of metabolic wastes of proteins.
2. Protect the remaining renal functions and slow down the progression of illness conditions.
3. Guarantee the patients’ nutrition even with obvious reduction of protein intake.
4. Improve the metabolic complications due to renal insufficiency.
Ketosteril does have certain effects on lowering creatinine, but it still depends on the patients’ illness and physical conditions and patients should not rely on ketosteril only. The root cause of increased creatinine level is the damage of renal intrinsic cells and tissues and the decreased ability of the glomerular filtration, therefore when the damaged parts are repaired and the glomerular filtration rate is improved the accumulated creatinine and other wastes will be filtered out of the body by the kidneys and the creatinine level will decrease naturally. Micro-Chinese Medicine has the functions of softening and dilating blood vessels, anti-inflammation, anti-coagulation and degradation of extracellular matrix. It can block the process of renal fibrosis, repair damaged renal intrinsic cells and tissues and rebuild kidney structure and functions so as to lower creatinine naturally and from the root.

What is IgA Nephropathy,What are the causes of IgA Nephropathy


What is IgA Nephropathy
IgA Nephropathy, also known as Berger's disease, is a kind of primary glomerular nephritis characterized by deposition of IgA or IgA antibodies in glomerular mesangial areas. Common clinical manifestations mainly includes frequent or recurrent hematuria and protein in urine. Severe high blood pressure is also seen in some cases. If not treated properly, the disease will develop into chronic kidney failure.
What are the causes of IgA Nephropathy
IgA Nephropathy is generally accepted as a glomerular disease caused by the deposition of immune complex. Its occurrence is associated with the following factors:
1.Immune system disorders. IgA nephropathy is mainly caused by the deposition of Polymer IgA in the glomeruli and this indicates disorders of the IgA immune system.
2.Bone morrow disorders. The IgA depositing in the kidneys is bone marrow-derived.
3. Abnormal cellular inflammatory factors. The IgA1 in the mesangial areas will cause the mesangial cells to secrete inflammatory factors and cause extreme inflammatory reaction resulting in damages of renal structure and renal function.

Is Bitter Orange Good for Kidney Disease Patient


Bitter orange is an herb that has various health benefits. Its peel, flower, leaf, fruit and fruit juice all can be used to make medicine. However, is bitter orange good for kidney disease patients?
One big benefit of bitter orange is to treat skin problem. Bitter orange oil, when applied to the skin, may be effective to treat skin infections such as ringworm, jock itch and athlete’s foot. In addition, this type of oil can also be used for general feebleness, hair loss, cancer, frostbite or as a tonic.
At present, many people are bothered by their overweight because of unhealthy living or other reasons. Although bitter orange has been used for a long time to stimulate appetite, its peel contains the stimulant chemical synephrine that helps to prompt weight loss. Other uses of its peel are for upset stomach and chronic fatigue syndrome.
Besides, bitter orange flower and its fruit shows a big effect on treating gastrointestinal disorders such as constipation and diarrhea.
People with kidney disease are more likely to be faced with the above problems. Does this mean bitter orange is good for kidney disease patient. The answer is complex.
One reason is that some people who use bitter orange experience an increase in blood pressure. High blood pressure is one big risk for people with kidney disease, because it can accelerate the progression of patients’ illness and cause further kidney damage.
The other reason is that bitter orange may have negative interactions with certain prescription and over-the-counter medications. No matter what kidney disease you have, you may not avoid to take some medicines to control your condition. When using bitter orange, it may cause adverse reactions.
If you have kidney disease and would like to try bitter orange, you had better ask first the doctor whether you are candidate to it. The safe dosage of bitter orange can guarantee you to get its health benefits and avoid its health risks.

How Stem Cell Enter Human’Body for Treating Kidney Disease


We know that kidney disease is very hard to be cured completely. But now days, there are more and more methods being used to cure kidney disease. stem cell therapy is one of methods to cure kidney disease.
Stem cell is the cell which has the of self-replicating and multipole-directional potential function. Stem cell is a primitive cell. Stem cell is the origin cell of the body. It is also the formation of all kinds of tissues and organs of primitive cell of human body. stem cell therapy has an obvious effect to the treatment if kidney disease.
1. The current situation of stem cell therapy to treat kidney disease.
In recent years, stem cell transplantation therapy has been applied to many fields, and helped many patients out of the woods. But some patients also worry that whether the curative effect can be last when have a satisfactory effect. Most patients are hoping to once and for all.
2. How stem cell plays a part in the treatment of kidney disease.
Stem cell technology is a kind of regenerative medicine, and its effectiveness depends not only on the quality and quantity of stem cells, but also on body temperature and the type of disease. To the patients with spinal cord injury, cerebral palsy, brain injury patients, the curative effect of stem cell therapy to repair nerve function can be persistent, even can keep life long.
Once injected into the body, stem cells would be "targeted" to move to the lesion due to the biological characteristics. Stem cells secrete a variety of nutritional factors, promote or protect damage cells recovery. And then stem cells will combined with the apoptosis cells which is ill, injure. Then with the growth in the number of cells, replacement, repair the damaged cells to activate dormant cells in the body at the same time, gradually restore function, so the curative effect usually appeared after two or three months after the treatment.
Stem cell can regenerate cells in the body, make the body’cells number increase, recover the quality of early cells, make the cell,tissues and organs function younger. The body get obvious improvement. The aging process of human body will be effectively control and mitigate.
Those are the introduction of how stem cells treat kidney disease. If you still have some question about stem cells or the treatment of kidney disease, you can call our online exports.
Xi’anTongji Hospital is in the north of China, Asia. It is the kidney special hospital. The hospital has more than 30 years experience to treat kidney disease. It has the Natural Immune Balance Therapy which combined Chinese Traditional Medicine and Eastern Medicine. Stem cells therapy is another therapy for kidney disease treatment. Xi’anTongji Hospital had help lots of kidney disease patients recover to health and being widely praised.

Stem Cell Therapy for Kidney Disease


The kidney is a highly complex organ, composed of more than 30 different cell types in different compartments, such as tubular epithelial cells, interstitial cells, glomerular cells and cells of the vasculature.
Currently the CKD patients are increasing worldwide and there is no appropriate treatment available for chronic kidney disease. So based on successful experiment on the animals, now researchers are hopeful of its application on human being.
Chronic kidney disease causes dysfunction of the cells from vascular, interstitial, glomerular and tubular compartments, which triggers the release of fibrogenic cytokines and recruitment of inflammatory cells to injured kidneys. The rapid interposition of scar tissue probably confers a survival advantage by preventing infectious microorganisms from invading the wound, but prevents subsequent tissue or renal cell regeneration.
After Stem cell transplantation into CKD patient provides improvement like reduced creatinine level because stem cells like mesenchymal stem cell has the property to differentiate into renal specific cells also like nephron, tubular epithelial cells and others. After infusion of stem cells into the CKD patients via intravenously then these stem cells automatically migrate to the injured/inflammated site and then start to regenerate the damaged/injured renal tissue and also induce/activate resident stem cells in the renal via para/autocrine signaling. So mesenchymal stem cells therapy provides better environment to regenerate the damaged cells via differentiating into the renal specific cells and also induce the resident stem cells.
Mesenchymal Stem Cells have some advantages after the transplantation followed as 
• Antiapoptic
• Immune modulation
• Anti inflammatory
• Anti- fibrosis
Stem cell treatment may reduce/maintain serum creatinine level in end stage/chronic kidney patient for a long time but there is no assurance that it may be alternative of kidney transplant in future after stem cell therapy. As kidney transplant success rate is not 100% in kidney failure patient and few patient may get again kidney related problem even after kidney transplant because of the usage of immunosuppressant drug for a long time so if patients who already got kidney transplant and again facing kidney disease then stem cell therapy may reduce/maintain serum creatinine level and also reduce the immunosuppressant drug dosage because mesenchymal stem cell has the immune-modulation property and suppress the activation of T-regulatory cells after infusion.

What are the Advantages of Traditional Chinese medicines (TCM)


Traditional Chinese medicines (TCM) have thousands of years history in China and it is the precious heritage of Chinese culture.It has great advantages compared with Western treatments. According to the Chinese medical concept, doctors will arrange the patient to take the Chinese herbal medicines and at the same time, combine with some Chinese external therapies, such as acupuncture, massage, and medicated bath, etc.
These measures are effective for the recovery of patients' diseases. They have such functions as diuresis, adjustment of immune systems, improvement of the renal function and excretion function, etc. What is more they will cause few side effects and the patients will not become dependent on the medicines.
The main function of TCM is to regulate and balance various disorders and imbalances in the body and build up physical strength, therefore long term proper intake of certain Chinese medicines can not only cure diseases but also can make people stronger and healthier.
What are the side effects of TCM
Though Traditional Chinese Medicines have relatively fewer side effects compared with western medicines, they do cause some damages to the body when used improperly or abused blindly. Therefore the medicine formula and the dosage of every medicine should be under guidance of professional physician.

Can Natural Immune Balance Therapy Help to Lower High Creatinine Level 5.6

Pulling creatinine level 5.6 down is the common pursue of kidney disease patients, especially patients with advanced kidney problems. Can Natural Immune Balance Therapy help to lower high creatinine level 5.6.
When creatinine level increases to as high as 5.6, dialysis or kidney transplant will be suggested. Natural Immune Balance Therapy is a new treatment and combination of Chinese medicine and Western medicine. This therapy show obvious treatment effects in dealing with high creatinine level, so it is accepted by more and more kidney disease patients. Well then, how does Natural Immune Balance Therapy help to lower creatinine level at all?
Unlike some medicines, Natural Immune Balance Therapy lowers creatinine level by recovering some kidney function, not by restricting the generation of creatinine. Creatinine is the end product or meat, including meat eaten by us and our muscles. It is normally discharged by our kidney, so the level of it is always kept in a stable range. However, once kidney is damaged, kidney secretion function decreases as well, leading to the increase of creatinine level. Creatinine is harmful and it is just one of the wastes produced by our body. Most of these wastes are excreted by our kidney, when high creatinine level indicate there are lots of wastes in our blood. Generally speaking, patients are suggested to start dialysis or do kidney transplant when creatinine increases to 5.6.
Natural Immune Balance Therapy combines Chinese medicine and western medicine which play different role in recovering kidney function. Usually, western medicines are applied firstly to control symptoms and stable illness condition and this is because western medicines show quick treatment effects. After that, Chinese medicines are used to increase the curative ability of damaged renal tissues. We know our tissues have function to recover by themselves when they are mildly damaged. Therefore, through increasing the curative ability of renal tissues, some damaged renal tissues can recover by themselves. As long as much more renal tissues function normally, kidney function get increased to some extend.
Besides, Chinese medicines contain lots of nutrition, and this is helpful for patient's recovery. As high creatinine level results from impaired kidney function, when kidney function is improved, creatinine level is lowered.
At present, Natural Immune Balance Therapy is not the only method that used to lower creatinine level, but it is the most effective and natural medical treatment. Therefore, if you want to be free from the bothersome side effects of hormone medicines, you can look into Natural Immune Balance Therapy. Our online kidney exports will offer you free help anytime.

What Foods and Herbs Can Lower High Creatinine Level

High creatinine level after repeated tests is more likely to reveal a decline of kidney function. In this condition, the correct consumption of foods and herbs can help lower high creatinine level largely.
Creatinine is one nitrogenous waste produced by the muscles. Our kidneys are in charge of eliminating these wastes from the body, so creatinine level remains relatively stable in healthy people. If more than 50% of kidney filtration function is damaged, the serum creatinine will stay at a high level persistently.
From the above analysis, we can know low kidney filtration function is the root cause of elevated serum creatinine. Therefore, foods and herbs that can help increase patients’ kidney function are the best choices for people with high creatinine level.
What foods can lower high creatinine level?
Two types of foods should be selected. It is reported that vitamins especially vitamin C can help prompt the regeneration of new tissues so as to improve kidney function. Generally speaking, fruits or vegetables may contain rich vitamin C, so you can consume more fruits and vegetables which are high in vitamin to lower your creatinine level. Here, we would like to first recommend two fruits: cranberry and pomegranate.
Additionally, another type of foods are also good to lower high creatinine. It is the one that can increase the rate of kidney filtering wastes. Once more waste products including creatinine are removed from the body, patients’ creatinine level will come down naturally. Here, you can try celery, cabbage, cauliflower, and so on, with the guidance of your doctor or us.
What herbs can lower high creatinine level?
Compared with food therap, herbal medicines shows a more obvious and quick effect on improving patient’s illness condition. The principle to select foods also applies to selecting herbs, so the herbs that can enhance your kidney function should be your case. According to clinical research, salvia, dandelion root, siberian ginseng, cinnamon and other herbal medicines indeed have an effect on improving patients’ kidney function thus lowering their high creatinine level.
Even though you have know what foods and herbs can lower high creatinine level, make sure you have consulted the doctor before using any of them.

Chinese Traditional Medicine treatments for Focal Segmental Glomerulous Sclerosis

Focal Segmental Glomerulous Sclerosis is a kind of kidney disease.Focal Segmental Glomerulous Sclerosis can’t be cured totally, but many treatments can be applied to stop FSGS effectively.
Focal segmental glomerular sclerosis (FSGS) is a common of nephrotic syndrome (NS) in children and adults with primary glomerular disease. Its histopathological features are glomerular segmental scar, with or without associated with glomerular capillaries within the foam cell formation and adhesion. Nowadays you can use the glucocorticoid or other immune suppressants to reduce the glomerular filtration membrane permeability so as to achieve the purpose of reducing proteinuria.
Hormone and cytotoxicity drugs are the currently common used drugs for the treatment of FSGS. And the new medicine of mycophenolic acid is also praised for its treatment for FSGS. Compared with the traditional treatment plan for FSGS, mycophenolate mofetil(MMF) along with prednisolone for 2-3 months can quickly induce the relieve of the clinical manifestations, reduce the using time of hormones, and reduce the untoward effect of hormones.
And studies show that ACEI could effectively reduce the proteinuria, and along with the extend of treatment, the function of ACEI becomes more and more obvious in reduction of the proteinuria. There are reports that when the traditional treatment is ineffective in treatment for FSGS, the joint application with MMF and ARB could effectively alleviate the clinical symptoms of FSGS.
As for the relapse FSGS after kidney transplant, the effect of blood purification treatment is relatively satisfactory. Especially the double filtration plasmapheresis(DFPP), it could reduce the level of proteinuria as well as extend the survival rate of transplanted kidney.
1. Dialysis and Kidney Transplantation
Generally, dialysis and kidney transplantation are adopted when FSGS develops to kidney failure. However, dialysis is just like a filter machine, it only can help the patient to discharge the waste products from human body, it can’t help the patient to repair the damaged kidneys, it can’t help the patient to absorb the useful substance from human body, it can’t help the patient to secrete useful EPO or other things etc. Therefore, after the patient receive the regularly dialysis for several years, when the kidneys become smaller and smaller, there is only kidney transplant can help them.
With the development of modern medical technology, the death rate of kidney transplant is very low, and it has rescues many patients with end stage of kidney failure. However, patients still need to take anti-rejection medicines all their life, especially for those who can’t undergo kidney transplant, it is really a disappointed thing.
2. Chinese Medicine Treatment method
Nowadays, with the development of modern Chinese Medicine, there are many useful treatment have already proved to be useful. For example, there are many Traditional Chinese Medicine methods like classical prescription, Chinese Traditional Medicine Application, fumigation and moxibustion. Natural Immune Balance Treatment has been studied and used for kidney disease patients, this treatment can intervene the patient’s life style, medicines, Immune System, thus regulate the whole body’s immunity, inhibit the disease relapse, discharge the waste products from human body, stimulate the human body’s self-healing, active and restore the kidney function.

What Does 6.2 Creatinine Level Mean


Creatinine levels can mean creatinine concentration in urine or creatinine level in the blood. But in most cases it refers to serum creatinine level and the normal range for adults is about 0.5-1.2. So first we can see that creatinine 6.2 is much higher than the normal creatinine levels and it means that at least more than 50% of the patient’s kidney functions have been damaged.
Creatinine mainly comes from a person’s muscles and meat intake, therefore it will be produced at a relatively constant rate. The severely impaired kidneys can not function well to remove creatinine out of the body. More and more creatinine will accumulate and cause high creatinine levels. Often patients will have a series of other symptoms and discomforts besides the elevated creatinine such as nausea, vomiting, fatigue, swelling, high blood pressure and symptoms of electrolyte disorders.
Creatinine 6.2 mostly occurs to patients that are at stage 4 kidney disease or end stage kidney disease. Creatinine can be used to calculate the patient’s GFR (glomerular filtration rate) which is a better indicator of the patient’s current illness conditions and residual kidney functions.
Often creatinine 6.2 patients will have to begin dialysis treatment if the high creatinine and other symptoms can not be well controlled with medications. Dialysis has quick and obvious effect at lowering high creatinine. After dialysis, creatinine 6.2 can be lowered, but patients have to have regular dialysis treatment because creatinine will be produced at a constant rate.
Creatinine 6.2 is just a symptom and the root problem is renal damages, therefore creatinine 6.2 means that effective treatment should be sought or illness conditions will become worse, more kidney functions will be lost and creatinine levels will become even higher. Lowering high creatinine should not be the ultimate goal and one more step should be done to repair renal damages and improve renal functions. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can help repair and regenerate new renal functioning cells and tissues so as to help repair damaged renal functions. When renal filtrating function is improved, high creatinine can be lowered naturally.

What are the Immunotherapy Treatments for IgA Nephropathy



Conventional Treatments
Traditionally there is no special treatment for IgA nephropathy, different treatments will be used according to different clinical types, severity of the illness condition and duration of the disease. The purpose is to protect kidney functions and slow down the illness progress. Conventional treatments mainly include tripterygium wilfordii, emodin, ACEI (Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitors), methylprednisolone, prednisone, cyclophosphamide, diuretics. For those that have repeated tonsil inflammation, tonsil excision can help reduce hematuria and proteinuria and have long term protection of renal functions.

As symptomatic treatments, they are very effective at relieving symptoms and discomforts, however they can not solve the deposition of IgA and there will be more deposition, that is why IgA is easy to relapse and the kidney functions will continue to deteriorate.
Immunotherapy
Since IgA Nephropathy is an auto-immune disease, the key point is to regulate the disorders and imbalances of the immune system and enhance immunity.
1. Immune diagnosis. Only if we make everything clear of the disease can we treat it targeted and effectively. Though patients are all diagnosed with IgA Nephropathy, the antibodies level and amount and position of different kinds of toxins vary from person to person. We should also know the severity degree of glomerular and tubular damages. Therefore, some tests have to be done for guiding the treatment. Tests of beta 2 microglobin, Cystatin C, homocysteine and retinol binding protein are necessary.
2. Immune blockage . According to scientific diagnosis, the dose and duration of medicines will be very accurate. Scientific use of immunosuppressants will bring the abnormal immune inflammatory reactions in the kidneys well under control so as to prevent further damages to the renal cells and tissues.
3. Immune tolerance. As the disease often relapses, we have to assess the disease condition before inflammation in the kidneys becomes serious again. Giving small dose of immunosuppressants regularly can prevent the relapse of the disease. This is to let our body accept the fact that there is immune complex in the kidneys and the antibodies will stop attacking them temporarily.
4. Immune regulation. The immune complex cannot always stay in our kidneys, so we have to remove it out sooner or later. Micro-Chinese medicine can invigorate blood circulation and remove blood stasis thus increasing the blood flow in the kidneys. The special material in the Chinese medicine will combine with the immune complex and take it out of body through blood circulation.
5. Immune protection. For the damaged and remaining inherent cells and tissues, we have to repair them and recover the kidney function. Glucocorticoid and oral intake of Chinese medicines will play key roles in this step. Active materials in micro-Chinese medicine can regulate the immune system and recover the self renewal ability of the body.
6. Immune clearance. Actually this step runs through the above five steps. Immune adsorption can effectively remove the toxic things in the body and control the disease in a short time so that we can strive more time for repairing the kidneys. Only by controlling the continuous progress of the disease can we repair the kidneys well.
