Oliguria in CKD Stage 4 and Stage 5

The normal amount of urine is 2000 to 2500 ml per 24 hours. Oliguria is defined as a urine output that is less than 1 mL/kg/h in infants, less than 0.5 mL/kg/h in children, and less than 400 mL or 500 mL per 24h in adults - this equals 17 or 21 mL/hour. The decreased output of urine may be a sign of dehydration, renal failure, hypovolemic shock. Generally, for stage 4 Chronic Kidney Disease or stage 5 Chronic Kidney Disease.

ronic kidney disease patients, oliguria indicates that there is damage in renal tubule’s reabsorption ability. Oliguria appear mostly in
1. What is the damage of oliguria?
One important function of kidney is to filter waste product, which leaks out of the body through urine such as creatinine, BUN, urea acid and so on. So oliguria for a long time will accumulate more toxins and patients have to take dialysis.
2. What is the regular method?
Generally, the regular method of treating oliguria is kinds of diuretics, which can really help discharge extra fluid from the body. A diuretic provides a means of forced diuresis which elevates the rate of urination. There are several categories of diuretics. All diuretics increase the excretion of water from bodies such as High ceiling loop diuretic, Thiazides such as hydrochlorothiazide, carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, Potassium-sparing diuretics, Calcium-sparing diuretics, Osmotic diuretics and so on.
3. What’s the adverse or side effect of regular diuretics?
The most common side effect of diuretics is increased urination. This occurs most frequently in people taking loop diuretics. People who take diuretics may also have too much potassium in their blood if they take a potassium-sparing diuretic, or too little potassium in their blood if they take a thiazide diuretic. Other side effects of diuretics may include: Low sodium in blood, increased blood sugar, increased cholesterol. For stage 4 and stage 5 chronic kidney disease patients, they want to seek a safer method.
4. What is the latest effective and safe method?

We can turn to traditional Chinese herbal medicine for help, which has developed into Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy. It is abstracted from herbal medicine, which contains active and nutritious materials. After into the body through osmosis, it can repair the damaged cells in the kidney such as renal tubules, which has reabsorption ability. After these, renal tubular function turns normal and extra fluid can be discharged out of the body naturally. What’s more, edema or dropsy or swelling will disappear as well.
