With the frequent changes of diet and living habits, more and more diseases
have been attacking human being. Following cancers and heart disease, Chronic
Kidney Diseasebecomes another rival against human being with vital threat at any
time. On the basis of incomplete statistics, in the world widely there is one
patient with Chronic Kidney Disease(CKD) out of ten people. And most of patients suffer from Proteinuria
and Hematuresis.
So what causes Proteinuria and Hematuresis?Why patients with
Chronic Kidney Disease(CKD) bear these symptoms?
As we know, each kidney contains about 1.2million nephrons. These functions
like toxicant elimination, regulatory function, secreting and excretion, are all
performed by these nephrons. So if these nephrons are damaged, that means the
damage of kidneys.
One nephron is made up of one renal corpuscle and one kidney tubule. One
renal corpuscle is constituted by one glomerulus and one renal capsule. The
symptoms like Proteinuria and Hematuresis are caused by the damage of glomerulus.
The barrier functions has two types, namely, electric charge barrier and
mechanical barrier. Electric barrierrefers that due to negative charge of some
factors like sialoglycoprotein secreted by end othelial cell and epithelial cell
of glomerulus, according to the principle of like charges repelling and opposite
charges attracting, in normal condition, the cells of glomerulus block
macromolecule substances with negative charge like protein, andpromote
absorption of micromelecule materials with positive charge. Owing to some
factors such as inflammation virus, the damage of endothelial cell and
epithelial cell, in addition to disorder of electric charge, make macromolecule
substances leak out of micro-blood vessel,causing Proteinuria(Proteinuria and Kidney Disease) and
Hematuresis.
Besides the electric barrier, there is mechanical barrier. The separation
distance between two cells of endothelial cell, interstitial cell, and
epithelial cell is diminishing gradually. That of endothelial cells is 70-100nm,
and that of epithelial cells is 20-50nm. After the glomerulus cells are damaged
and the mechanical barrier is broken, macromolecule substances like protein, red
blood cells leak into the original urine, giving rise to Hematuresis and
Proteinuria.
We can conclude from the above that the production of Proteinuria and
Hematuresis is due to the damage of renal intrinsic cells. Long-term undesirable
diet and living habits induce the lesion of renal cells. As a result, the
reasonable diet and regular living habits are inevitable conditions to avoid
Chronic Kidney Disease.
