Six Big Early Symptoms of Female Renal Failure

 
  Kidney failure is the late stage of the development of all kinds of kidney disease caused by kidney function loss of some or all of the pathological state. This disease occurs to female often with the developing of the society.
     In recent years, the female kidney failure patients increased and this make many women live in fearful environmental all day long. But at first I want to remind you that Kidney failure is not so terrible in fact. There will be some abnormal cash at early stage of kidney failure. If you can found it timely and accept treatment in time, actually kidney failure is not so terrible! Below I will introduce you what are women renal failure early performance and hope to help more people!
1. Sleepiness, fatigue-the earliest manifestations: early symptoms of kidney failure
This may be a manifestation of early, but the most easy to be ignored, due to the reasons of sleepiness, fatigue are really too many. Especially those in business "to fight", most of the blame on work nervous and tired. If a little rest makes symptoms better,this symptom is more likely to be ignored.
2. Look yellow - patients with early renal failure caused by renal anemia:
This is caused by anemia. Because this symptom seizures and start very slow, resulting in a not too short time won't appear obvious "contrast". It is just like people meet in morning and evening and difficult to find various slow change..
3. Edema - early symptoms of kidney failure and the most intuitive one:
This is a relatively easy-to-find symptom. Because kidneys can't eliminate excess water in the body and cause fluid retention in the body tissue clearance. During the early stage, edema only appears in the ankle and eyelid edema and can fade after resting. But when launched to persistent or systemic edema, it means the disease is not light.
4. The early kidney failure patients can present symptoms of high blood pressure.
Kidney has function of discharging sodium and water. When the kidney function is damaged, the body will store sodium and water. In addition, the kidneys can secrete some material which can elevated blood pressure. Therefore, early kidney failure patients have different degree of high blood pressure. If you have high blood pressure and blood coagulation mechanism easy cause nasal or bleeding gums. So you must pay attention to edema.
5. Changes of urine - early symptoms caused by decreased kidney function of patients with kidney failure:
Due to kidney filtration function, some patients with progression pause will gradually decrease of urine. Even the urine volume is normal, because in their urine eliminate toxins, land quality, can't eduction body waste too much, so to a certain extent, urine is not in good condition show the stand or fall of your kidney function.
6. The early renal failure patients with high serum creatinine, toxin accumulation in the body can't discharge from the digestive tract function disorder, a poor appetite.
     This is due to urinary retention, toxins affect the digestive function, most people don't. For illness, will render MenZhang abdominal discomfort, nausea, vomiting, defecate number increase or mass to powder, at this point, the disease is heavier, which often is an important reason of patients have to go to a doctor.

How to Cure the Female Kidney Disease

     How to cure the kidney disease is always the problem of old people and men. But modern young women, because of the fast pace of life, work pressure and environmental reasons, also began to appear the symptom such as kidney failure. How to cure kidney disease is the problem which is Passionate to be solved.
Because the symptoms of kidney failure are not obvious. So if you want to know your healthy conditions, please find experienced Chinese medicine experts to understand how to treat kidney failure, and suit the remedy to the case.
     How to cure kidney disease of young women? For kidney Yin deficiency women are appropriate repair class food, Ian cool moist and nourish "Yin foods, such as fresh fruits and vegetables or other food rich in cellulose and vitamin. They’d better avoid spicy stimulation, fried fried detonation and heat and high carbohydrate content of food.
1.A kidney diet is a primary part of a treatment plan for anyone who is suffering from kidney failure. A kidney failure cure usually has several different parts working together to improve renal function. It is important to note, also, that diet requirements change depending on the stage of the disease, so adjustments to the kidney diet may be necessary. A dietician is recommended to assist patients with their diet plan and keep them on track based on the functionality level of their kidneys
Kidney Yang deficiency women are appropriate diets with high heat and nutritious food, avoid to eat all kinds of cold drinks, cold melons and fruits.
2.Other young women should strengthen exercise more at ordinary times. Doing exercise can enhance immunity of the body, keep the good mood, make life work ,rest and eating habits healthy and stable. As long as reached a balance of Yin and Yang, it is the symbol of health and ageing will be delay. Once appear discomfortable symptoms, not to blindly take medicine, you should treat the disease through the dialectical treatment of supplements under the guidance of a doctor. Only by this method can truly have the effect of tonifying qi and kidney. If you can do the above requirements, how to treat kidney problem will be solved.
3. How the doctor of traditional Chinese medicine cure kidney disease is mainly divided into three parts: the treatment of kidney Yin deficiency, kidney Yang deficiency and Yin and Yang deficiency of the treatment.
     Kidney treatment, the main can be divided into several kinds, namely drug therapy, exercise therapy, and dietary supplements. Each have advantages and disadvantages. But on the whole, no matter what kind of method should be to dialectic of kidney failure, that is understand Yin deficiency, Yang deficiency, or deficiency of Yin and Yang, according to the specific conditions for specific treatment.

Ten Kind of Food to Supplement the Female’ Kidney

     Many people may think that kidney failure is men’ "patent", but as people’ knowledge continuously enlarge, female kidney receives more and more attention.

What is Haemodialysis and how does it work

Haemodialysis Access
     To place an access to get your blood, a surgeon will perform an operation to strengthen one of your veins or to put a soft tube inside your arm or thigh.
If possible, the surgeon will attach a vein and an artery together to form a fistula. If your veins are small or weak, the surgeon inserts a graft instead. This is a soft tube connected to an artery on one end and a vein on the other. Both a fistula and a graft are underneath the skin. Placing the access requires a small surgical procedure. A permanent access takes a few months to mature properly before it can be used.
If you need dialysis before a permanent access is in place, the doctor will create a temporary access. This is done by placing a special tube, called a catheter, in a large blood vessel under the collarbone or in the leg (groin).
Caring for a Haemodialysis Access
    
Check your access every day to be sure that blood is flowing through it. You can do this by place your fingers lightly over the access to feel the pulse.
Don't put pressure on the access, it can cause clotting.
Don't sleep on the access arm.
Don't hold a child or anything heavy with the arm that has the access.
Don't wear jewellery or tight clothing over the access.
Don't let anyone draw blood or take your blood pressure in the arm with your access.

What is Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR)

     GFR (glomerular filtration rate) is the optimal way to measure kidney function and determine a person's stage of kidney disease. The level of GFR and its magnitude of change over time are vital to :
· the detection of kidney disease
· understanding its severity
· making decisions about diagnosis, prognosis and treatment
How is GFR measured ?
     GFR is measured using plasma or urinary clearance of an exogenous filtration marker. However, this is a complex procedure and generally not routinely performed. Therefore, GFR is usually estimated from the person's serum creatinine level, in combination with demographic factor such as age, race, and gender using various formulas.
What does GFR indicate ?
     GFR is equal to the total of the filtration rates of the functioning nephrons in the kidney. In most healthy people, the normal GFR is 90 mL/min/1.73m2 or higher.
· a result of 60-89 mL/min/1.73m2 without kidney damage may be normal in some people such as the elderly or infants (if, for example, there are no other findings indicative of kidney disease, such as protein in the urine).
· a result of 60-89 mL/min/1.73m2 for => 3 months, along with kidney damage (such as persistent protein in the urine), means the person has early kidney disease.
· When GFR is < 60 for => 3 months, chronic kidney disease (CKD) is present.
Why use GFR as a measure of kidney function ?
    
Normal GFR varies according to age, sex, and body size; in young adults it is approximately 120-130 mL/min/1.73m2 and declines normally with age. However, a decrease in GFR may also be a marker of kidney disease and precedes the onset of kidney failure; therefore a persistently reduced GFR is a specific diagnostic criterion for chronic kidney disease. Below 60 mL/min/1.73sq.m, the prevalence of complications of CKD increases, as does the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD)
Whet does "Traceable to IDMS" mean ?
· all laboratories should now be using a creatinine method that has been standardized or traceable to isotope dilution mass spectrometry (IDMS). The way creatinine levels are calibrated affects the GFR estimating equation slightly.
· to properly estimate GFR, the serum creatinine must be measured accurately. When a laboratory calibrates their method to the single standardized serum creatinine using reference materials traceable to the primary reference material at the National Institute of Standards, we say that value is traceable to IDMS because the test is based on isotope dilution mass spectrometry (IDMS).
· with the exception of the Cockcroft-Gault formula, all other calculators in this Smartphone application are designed for use with standardized creatinine values that are traceable to IDMS. Also, only standardized cystatin C values are used.
· your laboratory can confirm whether or not it uses standardized creatinine values that are traceable to IDMS. It can also confirm whether it uses cystatin C values that are standardized.

The Introduction of Lupus nephritis

     Lupus nephritis (LN) is a systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and an immune complexes nephritis caused by kidney. It is a major complication of SLE and the leading causes of death.
     SLE (systemic lupus erythematosus, SLE) is a clinical manifestation of Multi-system damage symptoms of chronic systemic autoimmune disease which is mainly composed of antinuclear antibodies. Its’ serum has a number of different antibodies. And the remission of the disease progression are acute and episodes alternate characterized,. The patients with internal organs (kidney, central nervous system) damaged are difficult to prognosis. The prevalence of the disease in our country is 1/1000, 1/2000 of the higher than western countries according to the report. The most common patients are women, especially women of child-bearing at the age of 20-40 years old
Systemic manifestations
     Systemic manifestations of lupus nephritis are fever, arthritis and skin mucous membrane damage is the most common. The involvement organs of the system are liver, heart, central nervous system and hematopoietic organs, more than a third of patients with multiple serositis (pleural and pericardial), etc. Pulmonary hemorrhage may also be one of the main symptom of the disease which should identify
with Goodpasture's disease and small vasculitis. Renault often occurred to 40% patients.
Kidney manifestation
     1. subclinical type or "silence" type: no renal involvement manifestation, urine negative, but the pathological examination often have varying degrees of pathological changes.
     2. light type: account for 30% ~ 50%, no clinical symptoms, only mild and moderate proteinuria (< lg/d), microscopic haematuria and RBC tube type, but with normal renal function.
     3. Nephrotic syndrome type: this is accounts for about 40% ~ 60%, and appear the massive proteinuria, edema, hypoalbuminemia and occasionally appear raised blood cholesterol. At the late stage of the disease, there can appear high blood pressure, kidney damage, the majority of patients may develop into renal failure.
     4.Chronic glomerulonephritis type: accounts for about 35% ~ 50% with high blood pressure, different levels of proteinuria. There are a large number of red blood cells in urine sediment and tube type, many associated with kidney damage.
     5. Acute nephritis model: show the clinical manifestation of acute nephritis.
    
6. Radical nephritis type; Appear less urine to acute renal failure in a short period of time, or for the light or the transformed nephrotic syndrome. Pathology of crescent nephritis

The Prevention and Treatment Principles of Lupus Erythematosus (SLE)

     Lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease characterized by acute and chronic inflammation of various tissues of the body. Autoimmune diseases are illnesses that occur when the body's tissues are attacked by its own immune system.
     The immune system is a complex system within the body that is designed to fight infectious agents, such as bacteria and other foreign microbes. One of the ways that the immune system fights infections is by producing antibodies that bind to the microbes. People with lupus produce abnormal antibodies in their blood that target tissues within their own body rather than foreign infectious agents. These antibodies are referred to as autoantibodies.
1. Prevention of Lupus erythematosus (SLE)
     1. You should set up the optimistic emotion, take correctly treat to the disease, establish the confidence of conquer disease, keep your life rule, pay attention to combining exertion and rest, proper rest, to prevent infection.
     2. Remove all kinds of causes, including a variety of possible within drugs, chronic lesions such as infection, avoid excitant medicine for external use only, and all external stimulus.
     3. Avoid exposure to sunlight and ultraviolet (uv) light irradiation, especially in the activity, when need to add the sun drugs such as quinine ointment, compound titanium dioxide ointment, 3% and 15% of ammonia benzoic acid ointment, etc., and other such as cold, X-ray exposure can also cause the disease, too much can not be ignored.
     4. Hydralazine, procaine, penicillamine, antibiotics and sulphonamide to reasonable action.
     5, patients should be sterilization, activity need to avoid pregnancy, if there is kidney function damage or multi-system damage, suitable for early therapeutic abortion.
2. The principle of treatment to Lupus erythematosus (SLE)
     1. The doctors should explain the condition to the patients and strengthen confidence to cure the disease and accept periodic review activily. The patients should pay attention to good rest and avoid infection, vaccination, pregnancy, and surgery.
     2. The patients should avoid to sunlight or ultraviolet light, strong photoelectric and X-ray irradiation and take light-resistant measures。At the same time, patients should avoid the use of photosensitive drug, such as sulfa, grams of urine thiamethoxam, phenol thiazine medicine, etc.
     3. Avoid overwork, have rest as more as possible, eat easy digestive food of high quantity of heat.
     4. Internal medicine general using quinine chloride or small amounts of cortical hormone , vitamin c and other treatment. System of rendering should be preferred cortical hormone, and should be adequate and continuous application, using immune inhibitors and tripterygium wilfordii when necessary. With multiple organ damage, severe symptoms and curative effect of corticosteroids claim with plasma exchange therapy may be considered.
     5. Topical therapy available cortical hormone ointment, quinine ointment substandard cha.
    
6. Support treatment and symptomatic treatment of each viscera lesions. Systemic lupus erythematosus with systemic symptom should go to the physicians to make a diagnosis and give treatment, lest bungle illness.

Get Rid of Kidney Disease Harm, Achieve a Perfect Life

     Most people may believe that kidney disease is impossible to be cured. But miracle had happened on Mrs. Wang under the help of the doctors and nurses in Tongji Hospital. She had got rid of kidney disease.
1.The situation before being admitted to hospital
     Patients were Mrs. Wang, 35years old, due to the face and two lower extremity’edema, she must receive treatment in hospital. At first, the disease is not obvious but became serious gradually with lumbar debility, weight gain, stay, nausea and severe proteinuria. There is no irritation of hematuria and urinary tract infection. Within one month before the disease, there were fever, sore throat and joints.In the past she had no clear hepatitis history. Clinic check HBsAg and HBeAg to be positive, liver function is normal. There is no history of anemia and high blood pressure. Hospital medical examination: blood pressure 20.0/10.7 kPa, weight 43 kg, kidney disease face and without anemia. Cardiopulmonary is normal, abdominal is plain soft, but the liver and spleen is enlarged, depression in both lower limbs edema + + +. Hb100g/L test, routine urine: protein + + +, the more negative. BUN7.14 tendency, L Cr88.4 mu mol/L, 55 g/L, the plasma total protein, albumin is 28 g/L, globulin 27 g/L, ALT28U, HBsAg and HBeAg + and serum cholesterol tendency for 12.93 / L. The patient could not walking as normal people and could not eat anything . Everyday she is suffered from Edema, nausea, back pain and had lost hope to life.
2.Diagnosis:
     1. Nephrotic syndrome
     2. The mesangial hyperplastic glomerulonephritis.
     3.Hepatitis b virus carrying state
3.The treatment plan
     1.Tongji hospital used "Natural immune balance therapy"to treat her disease. "Natural immune balance therapy" based on overall, balanced and syndrome differentiation of TCM thought as the basis, combined with modern nephropathy immunology theory. On treatment, it argues the overall coordination of the five internal organs: heart, liver, spleen, lung and kidney, harmonic environment immune balance of Yin and Yang, qi and blood, dredging the main and collateral channels,adjusting the factors, and activation of kidney function. Through classical effects curing agent for oral and topical and compound liquid regulating the body's immune balance. And ion superconducting improved speed, point injection, kidney magnetic wave approach targeted therapy restore the body's immune balance and correct. A variety of methods of "Natural immune balance therapy" are integrated together, complement each other, within the disease outside, administer thoroughly, a variety of hand rehabilitation period of dialectical choose side, ways and targets targeted treatment, the overall environment regulation, restore the body balance of Yin and Yang, to correct the disorder of the immune and metabolic disorders, achieve zang-fu organs physiological function of dynamic balance to cure kidney disease.
     2.Actively to prevent infection
     3.Patients lie in bed to rest until the swelling subsided; High protein low salt food
     4.the situation when she left the hospital
Appetite is back to normal, the waist back ache relieved, edema disappeared. She is in a good mental state, normal and healthy face and completely with no sick face.
