The treatment principle for diabetic kidney disease(diabetic
nephropathy)mainly includes low protein diet, control blood sugar, control blood
pressure, anti-platelet and improve micro-blood circulation and so on which go
as follows:
1. low protein diet
For patients with diabetic kidney disease(diabetic nephropathy), low protein
intake can lessen the hyperperfusion condition in renal glomeruli, decrease
protein in urine and make kidney function stable. At present, patients are
recommended that the daily intake of protein should be 0.6 to o.8 g per body
weight.
2. control the blood sugar
Patients with diabetic kidney disease(diabetic nephropathy)should control the
blood sugar strictly, which can decrease the hyperfiltration in renal glomeruli,
lower the rate of urinary infection and prevent the kidney damage caused by
urinary infection.
3. anti-high blood pressure treatment
High blood pressure can accelerate the development and worsen diabetic kidney
disease(diabetic nephropathy). Such treatment can also decrease protein in urine
and delay the decline of GFR, which is short for glomerular filtration rate.
ACEI is widely used to lower blood pressure by extending the arteries in kidney,
which however has some side effects. In recent years, Chinese herbal medicine
also attracts more and more patietnts’ attention on kidney Disease treatment for it is
natural, has no side effects and so on. Among Chinese herbal medicine, herbal
hot bathe is a priority for patients to lower high blood pressure. Chinese
herbal hot bathe can extend blood vessels naturally and the active material can
clear away the toxins, thus lowing blood pressure from root and last but not
least, it has no adverse effects.
4. anti-platelet and improve micro-blood circulation
Anti-platelet medicine which can improve micro-blood circulation is such as
aspirin and dipyridamole.
