Pay Attention to Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) refers to conditions where your kidneys are damaged and kidney functions decrease. People often think that this disease is not life-threatening, so they pay little e or even no attention to CKD. If you are one of them, you are totally wrong. As CKD gets worse, you will develop many complications and it will develop into renal failure in the future. Pay attention to CKD early, or you will regret.
Since everyone may develop CKD, everyone needs to be careful of it. Of course, there are high risk groups, including those with Diabetes, Hypertension and family history of kidney disease.
Then how can you get to know that you have developed CKD?
There are some symptoms as follows that you could refer to. You should be careful when you have loss energy, trouble concentrating, poor appetite, muscle cramping at night, swollen feet and ankles, puffiness around your eyes and dry, itchy skin. However, most people may not have any severe symptoms until their kidney disease is advanced. In such case, those with Diabetes, Hypertension and family history of kidney disease should test their urine and blood regularly. And for diabetic patients, microalbumin examination is necessary, because urine protein is negative at the early stage of Diabetic Nephropathy.
After those tests, you may find you have developed CKD. But don’t worry. CKD at early stage can be cured. Functions of the kidneys could recover by proper and timely treatment
Hence, recognized and treated earlier, CKD will not progress rapidly to Renal Failure, and even don’t develop into it at all.
Then, what’s proper treatment for Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)?
It refers to a treatment method which could control symptoms as well as repairing the damaged kidneys. Usually, western medicine only could control you blood sugar, blood pressure or other symptoms. And you take such medicines day after day until someday when most of your kidneys fail to do work; your doctor may recommend you of dialysis or kidney transplant. Both of them will burden your life and make you suffer a lot of pain. In fact, before most of your kidneys are damaged, you can prevent them from deteriorating as long as you choose a better treatment timely.
What is the proper treatment?
Chinese herbel medicine plus Immunotherapy are proven effective in treating CKD. Many patients with CKD have better conditions after receiving these treatments. The former istraditional Chinese medicine and the latter is a new technology full of powerful vitality.

If you have this disease, you should pay much attention to CKD. Early treatment can protect your kidney function, providing you a big chance to avoid dialysis and kidney transplant. Know more about Chinese therapy, please email to me.

Back Pain and Kidney Disease

When people feel pain in back, they may not have had kidney disease. However, if people are diagnosed with kidney disease, they are more likely to suffer from pain in the back. And generally, the pain in kidney disease can be divided into several aspects.
Firstly, renal cyst (kidney cyst), or PKD(Polycystic Kidney Disease) can cause pain in the back. If the cysts grow big enough, they will stretch renal capsules, leading to continuous bursting pain or dull pain. The pain in renal cysts can also be caused by press to surrounding tissues. What’ more, if there is much more water in the cysts, they will sink, which can also lead to pain in the back. The characteristic of pain is also dull pain, which takes place in one side or in both sides. If the cysts bleed, or are caught by secondary infection, pain will become more serious suddenly. If merged by stone or being blocked by blood stasis caused by bleeding, renal colic will come into being.
Secondly, parenchymal diseases can also cause pain in the back, which are usually in acute renal glomerular nephritis, progressive renal nephritis, and so on. The symptoms which are sometimes accompanied by gross hematuria, edema, high blood pressure, and so on.
Thirdly, infectious disease in kidney can also lead to pain in the back, which is seen mostly in acute pyelonephritis, which is usually caused by bacteria infection. The pain in the back can manifestate as pain in one side, and patients can not bear when the area is being pressed or knocked when patients are receiving an examination. The pain in the back can also be accompanied by fever and shiver.
Fourthly, kidney stone can also cause pain in the kidney area, which can be sharp, and can spread towards other area. The symptoms which are accompanied are vomiting, nausea. In addition, patients can also suffer from severe gross hematuria.
The above mentioned are about pains in the kidney. People should have an examination when they feel pain in the back to check whether they have kidney disease or not. If diagnosed with kidney disease, patients should receive treatment as soon as possible.

As for the treatment of pain in the back caused by kidney disease, Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital has characteristic treatment Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy. If you are interested in it, welcome to consult the experts on line or email us.

Proteinuria and Treatment in kidney disease

Proteinuria is a common clinical symptom for patients with kidney disease. What makes patients with kidney disease feel headache is that proteinuria appears every now and then.
In addition, continuous leak out of protein in urine will lead to the deterioration of kidney disease. What’s more, in clinic, there will be a series of complications such as hypoproteinemia, disorder of international secretion, malnutrition, being easily to get infection. As long as we diminish proteinuria in time, can we control kidney disease well so as to avoid being developing into renal failure and uremia.
So is there a good therapy which can help kidney disease patients get rid of proteinuria?
Before we know how to treat proteinuria(Proteinuria and Kidney Disease), firstly, we should know about the reason why proteinuria appears. The occurrence of renal proteinuria is because pathological damage such as infection causes barrier of micro-circulation in kidney, which leads to the insufficiency of blood and oxygen in kidney. Once renal epithelial cells are damaged, the function of epithelial cells will change, and the dynamic balance will be influenced, which attracts the inflammatory cells in the blood to infiltrate, leading to inflammatory reaction. At the same time, renal fibrosis will start. The renal basilar membrane is damaged, the pore of filtration will be bigger or shut. Charge barrier is damaged, which leads to the leak out of protein, thus forming proteinura in clinic.
In clinic, especially in western countries, hormone and immunosuppressive agent are widely used to treat proteinuria, which is mainly aimed at diminishing the in inflammatory reaction, inhibit the immune reaction, thus diminishing proteinuria rapidly.
However, hormone and immunosuppressive agent can not block the renal fibrosis fundamentally, repair damaged intrinsic cells in the kidney, so proteinuria will appear every now and then.
How to diminish proteinuria from root? As we mentioned above, we should stop renal fibrosis first and then inhibit the inflammatory reaction, thus repairing damaged intrinsic cells and reviving renal function finally.

In Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is created, which contains much materials in it, which can repair the damaged basilar membrane and so on.

What Are the Kidney Disease Symptoms in Women

In recent years, there are more and more women who are suffering from kidney disease, which is paid more attention to by people. The number of women who are diagnosed with kidney disease is not less than the one of men with the high pace in modern times. As we know, in clinic, many symptoms of kidney disease are latent, so it is necessary to have some knowledge about symptoms of kidney disease in women.
Among all the symptoms of women kidney disease, the most obvious one is pain in the back, which includes renal colic in one side or both sides. The abnormal symptoms caused by pathological damage are as follows:
The first Immunotherapy of kidney disease in women is abnormal amount of urine. Because kidney function declines, patients will have less urine, which is less than 400 ml within 24 hours or do not have urine at all. However, the normal amount of urine is 1500 to 2000 ml within 24 hours. If women kidney disease patients apply diuretic, diuresis may appear. In addition, kidney insufficiency can also lead to increased urine at night, the retention of urine, and so on. Renal glomeruli are damaged, which leads to gross hematuria(Hematuria and Kidney Disease), microscopic hematuria, pyuria, proteinuria(Proteinuria and Kidney Disease), and so on. Proteinuria means that protein which is discharged in urine within 24 hours is more than 3.5 g. It is an important symptom of kidney disease in women.
The second symptom of kidney disease in women is renal edema. Edema is caused by increased volume of interstitial fluid, the result of which is retention of water. The pathological damage leads to the decrease of GFR( glomerular filtration rate), the acatharsia of water and sodium. Therefore, renal edema appears.
The third symptom of kidney disease in women is expanded kidney in size. This symptom is usually seen in patients with kidney cysts such as PKD(polycystic kidney disease). As a genetic kidney disease, there are numerous cysts both in side of the kidney and outside of the kidney. Cysts outside of the kidney grow bigger and bigger day by day, which leads to the increased size of kidney. When patients touch the area, they can even feel the expanded kidney.
The fourth symptom for kidney disease in women is pain in kidney, which can also appears as colic. Pain usually is dull pain which is continuous and takes place in one side or both sides.

The last symptom for kidney disease in women is high blood pressure. Some women patients can have high blood pressure, which is due to damaged renal vessels or renal parenchyma.

The Symptoms of Chronic Nephritis in Women

Different from men, symptoms of chronic nephritis in women is a little different. The pathological factors are various and the manifestations are also different. But generally, their common presentations are edema, high blood pressure and abnormal amount of urine.
The first symptom for chronic nephritis in women is edema. In the whole process, most patients can have different degree of edema. In other words, edema can be slight or serious. They can find edema in eyelid or face in the morning. In the afternoon, lower limbs and ankle show edema as well. For serious patients, they can suffer from edema in the whole body. However, there are still some patients who do not have any edema in the entire progress.
The second symptom for chronic nephritis in women is high blood pressure, which is also a reason why patients go to see a doctor in hospital. After they have an examination of urine, they find out that they have had chronic nephritis, which is the cause of high blood pressure. As a matter of fact, for patients with chronic nephritis, high blood pressure will take place sooner or later. The rise of blood pressure can be continuous and it can also rise every now and then. In turn, high blood pressure can also worsen the damage of chronic nephritis.
The third symptom for chronic nephritis in women is abnormal urine. Abnormal urine is a symptom nearly all women patients with chronic nephritis are suffering from, which includes the change of amount and the abnormality under microscopic examination. Some patients with edema can have decreased amount of urine. The more serious the edema is, the less the amount of urine will be. As for those who don’t have edema, their amount of urine can be normal. When the kidney is damaged seriously, for example, when the concentration and dilution function decreases, patients will have more amount of urine at night. What’s more, specific gravity will also decrease. Under microscope, we can find that nearly all the urine of patients with chronic nephritis contains protein, the amount of which can vary from ± to ++++. In the sediment, we can find white blood cell, red blood cells, granular cast, hyaline cast. When chronic nephritis takes place progressively, there can appear obvious hematuria and gross hematuria,(Hematuria and Kidney Disease) and so on. In addition, women patients with chronic nephritis can also suffer from dizziness, fatigue, anemia and so on.

Last but not least, as long as women are diagnosed with chronic nephritis, they should go to hospital and receive better treatment. The sooner, the better.

Five Different Stages of Diabetic Nephropathy

Diabetic Nephropathy patients in America account for 1.6 % to 2 % of the total people. The number of them is 5 million. Patients who are diagnosed with Diabetic Nephropathy take up 40% of those with Diabetes. Is Diabetic Nephropathy serious and how to treat Diabetic Nephropathy? Generally, Diabetic Nephropathy can be divided into five stages and different stages have their specific treatment measures. And doctors will give specific prescription according to the different stages. In this passage, we will mainly introduce the five stages of Diabetic Nephropathy.
The first stage of Diabetic Nephropathy is called ultrafiltration, which means the filtration is much. The size of the kidney also increases in this stage due to hard working. The purpose is to discharge the sugar out. The load from kidney is heavy, kidney becomes bigger. What we should point out is that there is no symptom in the first stage.
The second stage of Diabetic Nephropathy is called clinical stage. In this stage, patients can also not be diagnosed with Diabetic Nephropathy easily. Some have a little high blood pressure and the high blood pressure is not steady. At this moment, if patients take a renal biopsy or puncture, they can find out that in kidney, there is damage or lesion. However, urinalysis can not tell the change and there are also no clinical manifestations in clinic.
In the third stage of Diabetic Nephropathy, there starts to appear some steady manifestations such as high blood pressure. There is also protein in the urine. The third stage is a critical stage for patients with Diabetic Nephropathy. After treatment, the disease can be reversible as long as patients with Diabetic Nephropathy take effective treatment. In the fourth and fifth stage, patients’ Diabetic Nephropathy is difficult to get recover with the damage become more and more.
So it is quiet necessary for patients or normal people to have examinations on urine. microalbumin is an important index which can identify whether people have tend to develop into kidney disease.
In the fourth stage of Diabetic Nephropathy, patients will have a large amount of protein in urine. No matter what measures they take, protein in urine is hard to diminish. Blood pressure increases continuously. Blood urea nitrogen and serum creatinine increase as well.(High Creatinine Level)

In the last stage, patients with Diabetic Nephropathy develop into renal insufficiency stage. Many symptoms come out such as high blood pressure, edema, increased urine or no urine, pain in the back, and so on. In addition, patients with Diabetic Nephropathy may also have other symptoms such as anemia, fatigue, osteoporosis and so on.

The Introduction of IgA Nephropathy

IgA Nephropathy, also known as Berger’s disease, is a special form of glomerulonephritis, which often happens to children and young adults. Before the attack, many patients would have upper respiratory tract infection. The pathological characteristics are the glomerular mensangial proliferation. Through immunofluorescence method, the deposit of IgA can be seen in the mesangial area.
IgA Nephropathy is chronic glomerular disease which is caused by various pathogenesis but shows the same immunopathological characteristics. The clinical manifestations are also varied, with hematuria the major symptom, which is accompanied by different levels of proteinuria, hypertension and impaired kidney function. IgA Nephropathy is a common primary glomerulonephritis that leads to kidney failure. Approximately, about 40% to 50% of the patients present gross or microscopic hematuria, and 35% to 40% of the patients present microscopic hematuria and proteinuria, while the rest present nephrotic syndrome and kidney failure.
Worldwide, IgA Nephropathy is a very common glomerulenephritis. In Asian and Pacific region, IgA Nephropathy is the most common primary glomerunephritis, accounting for 30% to 40% of the patients taking renal biopsy. In China, IgA Nephropathy accounts for 40 to 47.2% of the primary glomerulonephritis and it is in an upward tread in recent years.
So far, the precise pathological mechanism is not clear. Many factors are involved in the making and progression of this disease. The synthetization, release and existence of IgA1 molecule(the immunoglobin deposited in the glomerular mesangial area) in the peripheral blood, its combination with mesangial cells and its deposition, and the following inflammatory response, are the characteristic pathogenic process of IgA Nephropathy. The chain response, such as the cell proliferation of glomerular cells, the hardening of glomeruli, the atrophy of tubules and the fibrosis of the interstitium are the route shared by all types of glomerulonephritis.
The clinical manifestation of IgA Nephropathy that patients could present include:
1. intermittent gross hematuria
This symptom tends to happen to children. It usually happens in the aftermath of upper respiratory tract infection( such as tonsillitis). The gross hematuria can persist for several hours to several days. Then it would change into microscopic hematuria, even disappears in some cases.
2.microscopic hematuria with asymptomatic proteinuria
These are the major clinical manifestations of children and teenagers with IgA Nephropathy, which are usually spotted during physical examinations.
3.proteinuria
The level is light, and the UPQ(Urine Protein Quantitation) is usually less than 1g/24h. In a few cases, gross proteinuria even nephrotic syndrome could happen.
4. other symptoms
Some patients can present acute nephritic syndrome, kidney failure, with few presenting severe abdominal pain and hematuria.
