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.

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.
