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.

What is the Diet of Uremia

1. Uremia patients should have low-protein diet to reduce the kidneys' burdens. Excessive intake of protein will produce many nitrogenous metabolic wastes and other toxins. The accumulation of wastes in the body will further damage the kidney functions. Since the protein intake is less, so patients should have high-quality proteins like eggs, milk and other animal proteins instead of vegetable proteins.

2. More energy should be provided to reduce the metabolism of the proteins so as to lower the chance of nitremia.

3. Low-phosphorus diets can help reduce the deposition of calcium in the kidneys, therefore foods that are rich in phosphorus such as yeast, mushroom, pumpkin seeds, watermelon seeds, etc should be controlled.

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.
