Four Misunderstandings to Treat Renal Insufficiency

Chronic Kidney Disease(CKD) progresses slowly and patients present no obvious symptoms in early stages. With the aggravation of the disease, proteinuria, hematuria and edema might occur. The level of Serum Creatinine(Scr) usually can increase suddenly if more than half of your renal function damaged, so the value of Scr can be regarded as a watershed of renal function. In other words, your renal function would decrease rapidly once your Scr value increases abnormally without any treatment or treated improperly. To better treat Chronic Kidney Disease(CKD), we listed some misunderstandings in the treatment of CKD to help you get pleasant effect.
The first one, patients with Hypertension are just satisfied with their Immunotherapyatic blood pressure in a normal range. Actually, this thinking is not correct. For patients with Hypertension, they should not only control their Immunotherapyatic blood pressure, but reduce the internal pressure in glomerulus so that the remaining renal function can be protected. Patients can take calcium channel blocker( CCB), angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors(ACEI) or angiotensin receptor blockers, α and β inhibitors and diuretic. CKD Stage 3 Treatment and CKD Stage 4 Treatment
The second misunderstanding is hypotensor can stop once blood pressure get controlled. Patients with chronic renal insufficiency usually suffer from Nephrotic Hypertension. Conversely, elevated blood pressure can rev up the progression of renal damage. Controlling blood pressure in a normal stage is helpful to deter the deterioration so you should insist on taking hypotensor even your blood pressure keeps in a normal level. Some patients think it is unnecessary to take medicine any more once blood pressure is normal or they stop taking hypotensor because of economical reason, which can cause their condition get worse and even develops into severe disease like stroke.Is There Any Medicine to Cure Chronic Kidney Disease Stage 3
The third error is they control the diet intake strictly. Chronic Kidney Disease(CKD) patients need to adjust their diet so that their condition could be controlled properly. Usually, it is important for Chronic Kidney Disease(CKD) patients to take diet with low salt and reduce the protein intake. If patients present elevated blood pressure (High Blood Pressure and Kidney Disease) and edema (Swelling and Kidney Disease), they must decrease salt intake and the standard of protein intake is 0.5-0.8g/kg. And they should take qualified proteins like lean meat, egg albumen and fresh milk. Some patients think the more strict they take, the better effect they get, so they do not take salt for long. Moreover, they would take little or no qualified protein. In this case, they are prone to suffer from electrolyte disorder , malnutrition, immunity decrease which can trigger other complications.

The forth misunderstanding is only taking Chinese medicine or western medicine. Chinese medicine is good at diagnosis and treatment based on a general analysis, and the active ingredients like Chinese rhubarb, cordyceps. Both of them have a certain efficacy on chronic kidney disease. Whereas, western medicine can deter the progression of renal damage by curbing hypertension. But only taking one treatment cannot attain the optimum curative effect. The combination of Chinese medicine and western medicine not only exploit their advantages but treat disease properly, and clinical practices have proven that it has pleasant curative effect in short and long run.
