What is the relationship between nitrogen and kidney disease? When it comes
to nitrogen, we will think of blood urea nitrogen immediately. In normal
condition, kidney has function of filtration. Nitrogen is a kind of metabolism
products, which should be discharged out of the body. However, when kidney
disease takes place, nitrogen especially blood urea nitrogen will rise
accordingly. So BUN, which is short for blood urea nitrogen is a very
significant index which shows the function of kidney.
In detail, BUN (blood urea nitrogen) is the terminal metabolism of protein in
the body. Generally, 1g protein can lead to 0.3g urea. Urea contains nitrogen,
which accounts for 28/60, nearly reaching as high as half. In normal condition,
kidney is the organ which discharges nitrogen. Urea can be reabsorbed after
being filtrated through the renal tubules. But the damage of kidney will make a
difference. At the beginning, because of the compensation ability, blood urea
nitrogen level will not rise. With the damage is serious, there will be
increased level of blood urea nitrogen. In this case, the GFR ( glomerular
filtration rate) has declined to less than 50%.
For a normal person, the normal range of BUN ( blood urea nitrogen)
3.2-7.1mmol/L(9-20mg/d1). Due to kinds of renal parenchyma lesion, such as renal
glomerular nephritis, acute or chronic renal failure, BUN ( blood urea nitrogen)
will rise.
Even if the BUN ( blood urea nitrogen) level is out of normal range, we need
not worry for we can solve it with specific therapy by repairing the damaged
intrinsic cells in the body. In Shijiazhuang kidney disease hospital, we have
Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy, which can help patients decrease nitrogen in
the body by repairing the damaged intrinsic cells and discharging the toxins
such as blood urea nitrogen, thus reviving kidney function.
