The Side Effect of Insulin

Diabetes patients especially those with type 1 diabetes need to inject insulin so as to survive. However, with time passing by, more and more patients realize that insulin has side effects, which goes as follows. (And in addition, in the last of the article, we will introduce a new therapy which can treat diabetes and has no side effect. )
1. Low blood sugar
Low blood sugar is the main side effects, which may even threaten diabetic patienst lives. So we must control the amount and put some sugar or sweet biscuit in the pocket for low blood sugar can take place after we take strenuous exercise or when the injection amount of insulin is not enough.
2. increased body weight
It is also a side effect which is commonly seen. Insulin can promote the combination of protein and fat. So if patients with diabetes do not control the intake of heat, the body weight will increase. In this case, the injection of insulin of will increase, which causes vicious circle.
3. edema or swelling
Edema or swelling can lead to slight retention of water and sodium, some of which appear in the face and limbs of the patients with diabetes.
4. allergic reaction
Allergic reaction usually takes place in those who inject insulin abstracted from animals. Rash or itch appears in the injection place. What’s worse, some may even suffer shock.
5. atrophic basting fat
Atrophic basting fast is also mostly seem in diabetics with animal insulin injection. In addition, it is usually seen in the first place where patients inject insulin.
6. resistance of insulin
Patient who inject insulin for a long time will show resistance in the body.
Last but not least, considering the side effects of insulin, we will introduce a new therapy: stem cell therapy. For diabetic patients, pancreas islet β cells are damaged, which leads to insufficient secretion of insulin. In this case, the blood sugar will increase. If this can not be treated or controlled well, it will lead to systematic disorder and a series of complications will occur as well. Stem cells can repair the damaged pancreas islet β cells, thus recovering the function of insulin. In this case, the secretion of insulin can turn normal and diabetes can recover consequently.

How to Control Diabetes?

How to control diabetes? Diabetes mellitus, often simply referred to as diabetes, is a group of metabolic diseases in which a person has high blood sugar, either because the body does not produce enough insulin, or because cells do not respond to the insulin that is produced. This high blood sugar produces the classical symptoms of frequent urination, increased thirst and increased hunger. The majority of type 1 diabetes is of the immune-mediated nature, where beta cell loss is a T-cell mediated autoimmune attack.
How to control diabetes? As we mentioned above, diabetes is closely related to immune disorder. On the basis of it, we created immunotherapy, which can adjust the immune system and help diabetic patients recover as soon as possible. Among immunotherapy, stem cell is the best method which can adjust the immune system.
Firstly, stem cells have the ability of differentiation and regeneration. The damaged area will give a sign, which makes stem cell arrive there, and repair the damaged intrinsic cells, thus reducing the renal damage and protecting renal function.
Secondly, stem cell can also differentiate into immunocyte, and inhibit the CD8. The generation of matrix decreased. Renal glomerular membrane can be repaired as well.
Thirdly, after stem cell enters human’s body, it can relieve a large amount of growth factor, nutritious factors, and so on, which can supply good environment for the proliferation of stem cell.
Usually, before it is applied, we use Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy, which can improve the blood circulation, dissolve the blood stasis, thus creating a good environment for stem cells.
Besides the treatment, to control diabetes, patients should also pay attention to the following aspects.
1. Patients with Diabetes should take proper exercise and don’t stay up. They should also remember to wear proper clothes so as to prevent themselves from catching a cold. In addition, avoiding mental stress is also necessary in the recovery.
2. Patients with Diabetes should also control the blood sugar in the normal range. Meanwhile, treating the complications of Diabetes is also important such as high blood pressure, infection of urinary system, lesion of nerve and blood vessels, etc.
The above mentioned are about how to control diabetes. For more information, please consult us or email us.

How to Rebuild Renal Function for Diabetic Nephropathy

Diabetic Nephropathy is a kind of secondary nephritis which is caused by long time diabetes. Long time high blood sugar can decline immunity, and lead to the disorder of immune defense, thus causing kidney disorder. In addition, the pathological mechanism of diabetes is also the immune deficiency. So in Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital, patients are arranged to use immunotherapy, which can be divided into 6 steps, which are immune diagnosis, immune clearance, immune inhibition, immune tolerance, immune adjustment and immune protection, which is more systematic and scientific than that of traditional western medicine and also make full use of Chinese traditional medicine.
Firstly, we should point out that after a systematic diagnosis, we can figure out where the immune complex deposits exactly, the amount of immune complex and the exact type of immune response so that doctors can get more scientific diagnosis and arrange better treatment.
Secondly, immune clearance can help clean the immune complex which is in blood and reduce excessive immune reaction, thus creating a cleaner environment for the treatment.
Thirdly, although immune complex is cleared, there are still those which deposit onto the kidney, which leads to the immune reaction again, so patients come into immune tolerance, which means allow them to stay in the kidney for the time being. To achieve this, of course medicines are taken.
Fourthly, immune adjustment is applied, in which step, Chinese medicine can improve the blood circulation and dissolve the blood stasis, as well as clear away the immune complex in the kidney.
Last but not least, immune protection is applied, in which step, stem cells can also be used in clinic, which can repair the damaged intrinsic cells, differentiate into necrotic cells, as well as increase the immune ability at the same time.
After these steps, both diabetes and Diabetic Nephropathy will be treated, thus rebuilding renal function eventually. For more information, please consult us on line or email us.

Daily Care for Diabetic Nephropathy

In modern society, with the diet changing and rapid pace, more and more people are diagnosed with Diabetes. Diabetes is a kind of disease which can cause damage to the kidney and lead to kidney damage. Once patients are diagnosed with Diabetic Nephropathy, besides treatment, patients with Diabetic Nephropathy should also pay attention to the daily care, which can assist the treatment and help patients recover sooner.
Firstly, patients with Diabetic Nephropathy should control the intake of food. They should have more fresh vegetables which is rich in vitamin and coarse fibre. They should also take in enough fish, meat, egg, milk, etc. In addition, spicy food, fat ones, alcohol and smoking should also be forbidden. At the end stage of renal failure, patients should also take in good quality protein.
Secondly, patients with Diabetic Nephropathy should keep clean and tidy especially in skin, mouth, respiratory tract and private part so as to prevent the deterioration of Diabetic Nephropathy.
Thirdly, patients with Diabetic Nephropathy should observe the color of the urine, smell, and the amount change and deal with it if the urine is normal.
Fourthly, patients with Diabetic Nephropathy should control the sexual life especially when they begin to suffer from renal failure.
Fifthly, patients with Diabetic Nephropathy should take proper exercise and don’t stay up. They should also remember to wear proper clothes so as to prevent themselves from catching a cold. In addition, avoiding mental stress is also necessary in the recovery.
Sixly, patients with Diabetic Nephropathy should also treat Diabetes at the same time and control the blood sugar in the normal range. Meanwhile, treating the complications of Diabetes is also important such as high blood pressure, infection of urinary system, lesion of nerve and blood vessels, etc.
Last but not least, patients with Diabetic Nephropathy should also have regular test on blood sugar, urine. Once there appears trace of albumin in urine, they should also take effective measures as soon as possible.

Sweet Taste in Mouth

Why is there sweet taste in mouth? Is it a sign of diabetes? Sweet taste in mouth can indeed be seen in patients with diabetes. As we know, diabetes have three typical symptoms, increased thirst, increased hunger and increased urine. Due to high blood sugar, internal secretion becomes out of order, which stimulate the taste bud in the tongue. In this case, patients with diabetes feel taste in mouth. So at this time, we should strictly control the blood sugar.
However, when people are suffering from diabetes, there must be damaged beta cells or there must appear resistance of insulin. In this case, we can choose stem cell to repair, which is considered the priority till now.
How does stem cell work? Firstly, stem cells have a strong ability of generating and differentiating, which means that it can generate into a large amount of pancreatic B cell and solve the problem that the patients’ body is short of islet cells. Secondly, the islet cells generated by stem cells can adjust the blood sugar. Thirdly, stem cell transplant can prevent the complication of Diabetes, and treat Diabetes fundamentally. Fourthly, the sources of stem cell are wide, and in addition, they will not be injected after injected in human body. Fifthly, patients with Diabetes can get rid of long time intake of medicine and in addition, it will not lead to the side effects to human body. In this way, the sweet taste in mouth will also disappear.

How to Improve Kidney Function to Avoid Dialysis

How to improve kidney function to avoid dialysis? Some patients with kidney disease ask this question. Generally, when creatinine in serum is more than 445umol/L, it indicates that kidney disease patients need to take dialysis. How to avoid this condition? When serum creatinine is 445umol/L, people come into renal failure stage. Before it, people are in compensation stage, which means that although there are damaged cells in the kidney, other healthy cells can do more work such as filtration, secretion, etc. However, we can also know that it is a critical stage. If we allow the damage to continue and don’t take timely effective measures, we will be faced with renal failure soon. This stage is also a stage when kidney can recover or reverse as long as we take effective measures.
Generally, the combination of stem cell and Chinese Medicine can make it.
Chinese Medicine is a natural herbal therapy applied externally on acupoint of lower back. Herbal bags containing dozens of herbal medicines are soaked previously in penetrants, and then placed on the lower back part. With the help of osmosis device, effective ingredients of herbal medicines will infiltrate into kidneys through the main channels. After the application of Chinese Medicine, people with kidney failure may sweat in the center of palm and feet, which indicates that the micro-circulation is improved.In detail, it can repair the damaged intrinsic cells after it is into the body for it contains natural herbs and active substances.
Stem cell can perfect this therapy, which can not only repair the damaged intrinsic cells in the kidney, differentiate into cells which can replace those which have been necrotic, but also increase the immunity of kidney disease patients. As we mentioned in the above passages, most of kidney diseases are caused by immunity problem. As long as the immunity is strengthened, kidney disease can be treated fundamentally.

Can Diabetic Kidney Disease Patients Drink Alcohol(Wine)?

Can diabetic kidney disease patients drink alcohol (wine)? Besides treatment, diabetic kidney disease patients also care about the food which they should take in to assist the treatment. Generally, they are forbidden to drink alcohol or wine.
Firstly, liver is used to detoxify what we take in, which includes detoxifying alcohol or wine we take in. Patients with diabetic kidney disease are suffering from disorder of sugar metabolism. So they can not store sugar in liver and the detoxifying ability of liver is bad.
Secondly, drinking too much alcohol or wine can lead to high blood fat, which accelerates the occurrence and development of diabetic kidney disease and the arteriosclerosis.
Thirdly, excessive amount of alcohol or wine can also inhibit the degradation of liver glycogen, which makes low blood sugar appear. Low blood sugar is very dangerous, which can even threaten patient’s life.
Fourthly, long time taking in alcohol or wine can also lead to obstacles in the absorption of nutrition, thus causing insufficiency of vitamin. Every kidney disease patient should complement enough vitamin.
In addition, report from England said that a doctor analyzed 1239 type 2 diabetes aging from 55 to 81. The investigation lasts for five years and a half. The researchers find out that compared with those who do not take in alcohol or wine, patients who take in alcohol or wine every week have declined eyesight. So diabetes patients should also limit the intake of alcohol or stop alcohol. The heat in alcohol is obviously higher than that of other food, which may lead to the fluctuating of blood sugar, thus accelerating the disorder of sugar metabolism.

Dialysis Diet Differences

What food patients should pay attention to when under dialysis? In this passage, we will introduce for you in detail.
Firstly, the total amount of water intake every day should be the amount of urine plus 500ml. Here, the amount we take in includes the juice and other drinks we take in.
Secondly, patients who have high blood pressure and retention of water and sodium should avoid food such as salted vegetables, cans, salted snacks, and so on.
Thirdly, patients who are under dialysis should also choose good quality proteins, which can produce less nitrogen. Such protein can supply enough amino acid, which is essential for the body. Milk, egg white and lean meat contain good protein.
Fourthly, patients should avoid food which is rich in phosphorus such as animal’s organs, peanuts, snacks, dried fish, kelp, cheese, and so on.

Is Watermelon Good for Chronic Kidney Disease

Is watermelon good for chronic kidney disease patients? Summer is coming and watermelon is on sale, which can diminish thirst and inflammation in the body. However, some patients with chronic kidney disease are concerned about whether they can have it.
Generally speaking, most patients can take in it for it contains less sugar and much vitamin and trace element and so on. However, if the patients have edema or swelling, they are not suggested to take in much watermelon for watermelon contains much water. If taken in, we should take it into account of the total water we take in every day.
Besides watermelon, patients with chronic kidney disease should pay attention to the following principles: low potassium, low phosphorus, low fat, low salt, low protein and high vitamin especially when the kidney disease develops into advanced stage and there appears disorder of electrolyte.
1. low potassium.
Food which is rich in potassium is such as mushroom, tomatoes, sweet tomatoes, cabbage, date, bananas, oranges, apricot, spinach, and so on.
2. low salt. Food which is rich in salt is such as aginomoto, sauce, salted vegetables, and so on. In addition, those who have edema or can not control high blood pressure should not take in salt.
3. low phosphorus. Food which is rich in phosphorus is such as sea food, sea plant, kelp, internal organs, tea, and egg yellow, etc.
4. low fat. When we cook, we had better use plant oil and avoid animal oil.
5. low protein and good quality protein. Patients with kidney disorder should take in egg white, milk, lean meat and so on, which contains good quality protein. In addition, plant protein should be avoided at the same time such as beans. Beans or bean milk is so popular all around the world. Why do patients with chronic kidney disease should limit it? As we know, there is damage inside of the kidney once kidney disease takes place. Beans can produce much nitrogen in the course of metabolism, which will worsen the kidney function and give kidney more burden.

Is Kidney Bean Bad for Diabetics?

Is kidney bean bad for diabetics? Kidney beans are common beans all around the world, which is rich in protein, natural fiber and kinds of vitamins and minerals. Patients who have diabetes can also take in it. In addition, the American Diabetes Association has designated kidney beans as a super food for they provide us with several nutrients of particular importance when you are living with diabetes mellitus.
1. Kidney beans contain low carbohydrates, which means that carbohydrates break down and are absorbed slowly from your intestines, which dampens the effect on your blood sugar level. A cup of cooked kidney beans contains about 39g of carbohydrates and 0.6g of sugars.
2. Kidney beans contain fiber, which is especially necessary and important for diabetics or patients with diabetes. Dietary fiber helps lower your blood cholesterol level by binding the fat in your intestines, leading to its excretion in your stool.
3. Kidney beans contain lean protein, which is also good for diabetics. Kidney beans are a nearly fat-free source of dietary protein, with about 15 g per 1-cup serving. Other protein-rich foods, such as red meat, whole-milk dairy products and eggs, contain cholesterol and saturated fat, which are bad for your heart. In addition, they will also lead to more nitrogen in the metabolism, which will give kidney more burden as well.

High Blood Cholesterol in Kidney Disease

Cholesterol is a kind of blood fat which can directly lead to atherosclerosis, increased blood viscosity, and high blood pressure. If not controlled well, with time passing by, the scar will become bigger, which leads to thrombus. Thrombus in turn blocks the blood vessels, which leads to slow blood flow. What’s worse, the lumen of blood vessels will be blocked completely. As for patients with kidney disease, their blood pressure will rise and hypertensive nephropathy comes into being accordingly.
So patients with high cholesterol should pay more attention to how to lower high blood cholesterol.
On one hand, they should keep scientific diet and take in food less in fat. Take in more fresh vegetables and fruit.
On the other hand, develop a good living habit. Stop drinking and smoking, which can also relieve the high blood cholesterol.
Last but not least, if patients’ condition is serious, for example, if the GFR decreased a lot, it indicates that the filtration function of kidney has declined. The filtration of toxic decreased. What shall we do then? Chinese medicine would be priority, which has no side effect and has attracted more and more foreign patients’ attention. Making full use of traditional Chinese medicine, experts innovated Chinese Medicine in. How does it work?
Firstly, Chinese Medicine can improve the blood circulation and dissolve the blood stasis for it contains active materials. Secondly, the blood stasis will be discharged out of the body together with urine, which improves the inner environment. Thirdly, the nutritious substances in Chinese Medicine can also supply nutrition, which relieves the insufficiency of blood and oxygen in the blood.
In addition, we would like to introduce food rich in cholesterol and we should avoid them such as egg yellow, liver and other animal’s internal organ, which is very popular by Chinese.
For more information about how high cholesterol influences kidney disease, please consult us online or email us. We are glad to help.

Why Is There More Urine at Night

For a normal person, if he or she does not drink much water before going to bed, the person will not go to toilet. He at most goes to toilet twice. The amount of urine at night is 500 ml on average, which takes up 1 /3 of the total one. In normal condition, after we go to bed and fall asleep, the body also stops working, blood flow becomes slow, the renal glomerular filtration rate becomes lower as well. But the renal tubules reabsorb water, which makes little urine at night.
Generally, the following factors can lead to increased urine at night.
1. People have water retention in the body. When we have heart failure, liver function declines or water in chest, after we lie down, the blood perfusion in the kidney will improve, which leads to more water discharge in the evening.
2. Urine at night can also be caused by renal insufficiency. In renal insufficiency stage, healthy renal nephrons decrease, blood urea nitrogen and other metabolic products stay in the blood, which make other healthy renal units do more work, thus causing increased amount of urine at night. At the same time, it usually combines damage in renal tubules. The reabsorption ability of renal tubules declines, which leads to more urine at night.
3. In addition, due to mental pressure, some people also go to toilet at night. In this case, we do not need to worry.
Even if people are diagnosed with kidney disease, we do not need to worry. With the development of medical science, we have treatment which can treat kidney disease effectively. In our hospital, we mainly use Chinese Medicine and stem cell therapy, which are part of immunotherapy in our hospital. Chinese Medicine is abstracted from natural herbs, which has no side effect and can treat kidney disease fundamentally.

Autoantibody and Lupus Nephritis

Lupus Nephritis is a kind of autoantibody disease. Autoantibody can protect us when pathological factors invade such as bacteria and virus, which can not react to the tissues and elements of our body. It plays functions depending on the tolerance of the whole immune. One the tolerance is damaged, our organic body will consider our own tissues abnormal substances, which leads to autoimmune reaction, causing autoantibody.
In normal condition, in the blood, there is a small amount of autoantibody, which will not lead to disease. Once the amount is excess, it will damage the body and leads to kinds of autoimmune disease.

What Are Some Side Effects after Chronic Kidney Disease Dialysis?

What are the side effects after chronic kidney disease dialysis? Most chronic kidney disease patients especially those who are in stage 3 and stage 4 have already been under dialysis. Dialysis no doubt is a means which can help discharge the toxins such as serum creatinine, urea acid, blood urea nitrogen, and so on, thus prolonging the life of CKD patients for dialysis works like a machine, which can replace the work of kidney.
However, just as the saying goes, every coin has two sides. The same goes for dialysis. In other words, long time dialysis can lead to side effect.
Firstly, dialysis can not replace the kidney completely, for it can not discharge all the toxins in the blood as completely as dialysis. Long time dialysis can also lead to the atrophic kidney. After that, there will be less blood flow in the kidney, so urine can not form accordingly. So chronic kidney disease patients have to take dialysis more times than before.
Secondly, dialysis can also cause hypophosphatemia. What’s worse, for some patients, they may have insufficiency of breathing. If we add phosphorus 1.3mmol/L in the dislysate, we can avoid hypophosphatemia.
Thirdly, chronic kidney disease patients who are under dialysis can also lead to the alkalosis. A large amount of basic group can correct the metabolic acidosis in patients with renal failure, while those who are poisoned as a result of medicine and toxins do not have acidosis, so alkalosis can come into being and patients may also feel nausea, headache, weakness. What’s worse, some may even have cardiac arrhythmia.
In addition, dialysis can also lead to some complications. So an increasing number of chronic kidney disease patients are searching a new therapy.
As a matter of fact, to treat chronic kidney disease, besides dialysis, we should also take immunotherapy. It is pointed out by kidney disease experts that nearly 99% of chronic kidney disease is caused by immune system disorder. And generally, the immune therapy can be divided into 6 steps, which are scientific diagnosis, brand new medicine, immune block, immune tolerance, immune protection, and immune clearance.

How to Stop Dialysis for Renal Failure Patients?

With renal fibrosis developing, renal failure will take place and patients have to take dialysis. Considering the expense, side effects and complications, patients with renal failure begins to search a new method which can help them get rid of dialysis.
One of my patients Miss Yang is a typical case. Four years ago, she got an infection, after which, she began to have swelling in eyelids, and felt headache. The blood pressure was 130/110, and the urine tests shows protein +++, occult blood +++. Miss Yang was diagnosed with renal glomeruli nephritis in a hospital of Beijing. With the guidance of doctor, she had prednisone, cyclophosphamide, captopril. After these medicines, she felt better and protein in urine and red blood cells in urine disappeared. However, the symptoms can not disappear forever. They recur easily especially after infection such as flu. When it recured once more, Miss Yang went to Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital. After she was discharged in our hospital, we arranged a systematic physical examination for her. The serum creatinine was 587umol/L. BUN is 9.75 mmol/L. Protein in urine was +++, occult blood ++. She also felt nausea, vomiting, edema in face, severe high blood pressure and anemia.
5 days after she received Chinese Medicine,Miss Yang stopped hypotensor. About 20 days after Chinese Medicine, her mental condition become better and felt liking eating. The amount of urine increased as well. What’s more, serum creatinine decreased to 350umol/L. BUN decreased to 5.43mmol/L. She needn’t take dialysis, and take in large amount of medicine. Now she is still under dialysis. In addition, she also take stem cell transplant.
Doctor’s comment:
Chinese Medicine can improve the blood flow in the kidney, increase the amount of urine. It can also promote the secretion of EPO, activate the hematopoietic function of marrow, thus relieving anemia. What’s more, Chinese Medicine can also extend the blood vessels, decrease the secretion of renin, which can lower high blood pressure.
With the help of Chinese Medicine and stem cell, renal failure patients can stop dialysis.

After Kidney Transplant, Would I still Have Kidney Disease?


After a successful kidney transplant, would still have kidney disease? This is a question which is put forward by some patients. As a matter of fact, in many cases, kidney disease will still recur several years later. For example, diabetic nephropathy is a kind of secondary kidney disease which is caused by long time high blood sugar in the blood and immune disorder in the body. So after transplant, if these factors can not be controlled well, patients will still have possibility of getting kidney disease.
What shall we do then? The fundamental problem is that we should treat kidney disease and only in this way, can we avoid the new damage in the transplanted kidney and avoid another kidney transplant. How to treat then?
As we know, most kidney diseases are caused by immune disorder. So our focus should be aimed at adjusting the unbalanced immune system, thus increasing immune ability. On the basis of this, in our Hospital, doctors and experts created immunotherapy, which is the combination of both Chinese Medicine and western medicine and can be divided into six steps: immune diagnosis, immune clearance, immune inhibition, immune tolerance, immune adjustment and immune protection.
Through immune diagnosis, we can know where the immune complex deposits exactly and the exact type of immune response so that doctors can get more scientific diagnosis and arrange better treatment. Through immune clearance, we can clear away the immune complex in the blood, which can supply a cleaner inner environment for the treatment of kidney disease. The third one is immune inhibition. There is immune complex deposit onto kidney, which leads to immune response. In this case, we use medicine which can stop the excessive immune response, thus stopping the inflammation response at a rapid speed.
After that, patients will come into immune tolerance and immune adjustment stage. In adjustment stage in particular, many effective medicines are used such as Chinese Medicine, which is used to clear away the immune complex which deposits onto kidney, which is very critical. In the last step, stem cell therapy is also applied, which is used to repair damaged intrinsic cells, differentiate into necrotic cells and increase the immune ability at the same time.
From the above, we can know that after these steps, the transplanted kidney can avoid getting damaged, thus preventing from kidney disease once more.

FSGS after Kidney Transplant, on Dialysis now

Patients: Doctor. I have FSGS. One year ago, I received kidney transplant. But now I am on dialysis. Can I stop dialysis?
Doctor: What level is your serum creatinine now and how many times do you take dialysis?
Patients: I received haemodialysis twice a week and my creatinine is 400 now.
Doctor: How long do you receive dialysis after the kidney transplant?
Patients: For three months.
Doctor: OK. Do you have any symptoms or discomfort?
Patients: No obvious symptoms.
Doctor: Sir. Firstly, I would like to tell you that your transplanted kidney can still receive treatment as your front kidney. Secondly, your dialysis time is not long, which is also good for the treatment. Do you test your GFR recently?
Patients: OK.
Doctor: How about the amount of urine every day?
Patients: About 400ml.
Doctor: You should be confident for urine stands for hope. As long as there is urine, it means that there is blood which flows through kidney. In this case, we can use medicine to treat.
Patients: What about the treatment in your hospital?
Doctor: Firstly, Chinese Medicine and secondly, stem cell transplant, which can also be accompanied by some western medicine if necessary.
Chinese Medicine is abstracted from natural herbs, which contains active and nutritious materials and can relieve the insufficiency of blood and oxygen in the kidney and repair the damaged intrinsic cells, thus rebuilding the renal structure to some extent.
Stem cell transplant can also be used to differentiate into necrotic cells. As we know, when patients are in FSGS stage, there must be necrotic cells in the kidney.
After the combination of stem cell transplant and Chinese Medicine, the dialysis frequency can reduce. With time passing by, you can stop dialysis.
Patients: Thank you, doctor.

Getting Ready for Dialysis in IgA Nephropathy

As we know, as long as kidney disease patients’ serum creatinine rises to as high as 450umol/L, they are suggested or asked by their doctors to take dialysis for creatinine is toxins which will do harm to the kidney if it stays in the body for a long time. The same goes for those with IgA Nephropathy. Here, we would like to introduce IgA Nephropathy patients who are ready to take dialysis.
Firstly, there is no doubt that haemodialysis is essential or necessary, which can help clear away the toxins such as creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, and immune complex, thus reducing the damage caused by excessive immune response.
Secondly, as we mentioned before, Primary IgA nephropathy is characterized by deposition of the IgA antibody in the glomerulus. There are other diseases associated with glomerular IgA deposits, the most common being Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP), which is considered by many to be a systemic form of IgA nephropathy. So we should also increase the immunity as well as clear away the immune complex and toxins in the blood through haemodialysis. So how to increase the immunity becomes the focus of IgA nephropathy treatment. To meet this, immunotherapy is created, which is a combination therapy of both western medicine and Chinese traditional medicine, the former of which mainly refers to stem cell transplant and the latter of which is mainly regarding Chinese Medicine. Both of them can increase the immunity in the immune protection stage for the whole immunotherapy can be divided into 6 steps, which are systematic diagnosis, immune clearance, immune inhibition, immune tolerance, immune adjustment and immune protection.
In immune protection period, patients with kidney disease will take stem cell injection. On one hand, they can repair the damaged intrinsic cells, thus helping reviving renal function. On the other hand, some stem cell injection is free of charge such as Treg cells. What’s more, stem cell injection is convenient and has no side effects as well as brings no suffering to chronic kidney disease patients. In immune protection period stage, Chinese Medicine is also used to increase the immune ability.
So patients who are ready for haemodialysis can consider the above mentioned as well as dialysis for only when all the above are paid attention to, can they get a better treatment effect. For more information, please consult us online or leave us a message.

How to Avoid Dialysis in CKD Stage 3

How to avoid dialysis in CKD stage 3? Stage 3 of chronic kidney disease equals renal insufficiency of discompensation stage according the reference in China. In this stage, the creatinine is 186-442umol/l.
In stage 3, patients are in a critical stage. The reasons are as follows: on one hand, if chronic kidney disease patient can find it out and treat it as soon as possible, they can recover. On the other hand, if they can not receive effective treatment, with the renal function declining, they will take dialysis. In most of the countries in the world, when creatinine is more than 445 umol/l, patients will start dialysis. Dialysis can only help discharge the toxins for the time being and can not repair the damaged intrinsic cells in the kidney. What’s more, patients have to afford the expense which is expensive and suffer from the side effects it takes.
Is there an effective method which can avoid dialysis in CKD stage 3? In our Hospital, chronic kidney disease stage 3 patients receive immune therapy for as we mentioned in the other articles, most kidney diseases are related with immune. So we are aimed at increasing the immunity of patients as well as repairing the damaged intrinsic cells, which rebuilds renal function.
On one hand, Chinese Medicine is used, the main purpose of which is to promote the blood circulation, even micro-blood circulation, dissolve the blood stasis which leads to thrombosis. In addition, the active materials in it can also increase the immune ability, which can help discharge the immune complex away from the body.
On the other hand, stem cells are also transplanted, which can differentiate into necrotic cells, thus helping rebuilding renal function as well. In addition, stem cells can also increase the immunity of patients with chronic kidney disease stage 3.
We believe that after Chinese Medicine and stem cell transplant are applied, the renal function can be recovered and patients with chronic kidney disease stage 3 can avoid dialysis.

The Symptoms of Purpura Nephritis

Purpura Nephritis is a kind of kidney damage caused by allergic purpura. It is a secondary kidney disease. The cause of Purpura Nephritis has not been figured out clearly in the kidney disease field. And a theory says it is maybe related to the infection and allergic reaction. Allergic Purpura Nephritis is a common disease which can be found among many people especially in youngsters. Youngsters are often children who are under 10 years old. The morbidity of Allergic Purpura Nephritis is not clear. And it is reported that among 2840 patients with purpura, 37.6 of them have developed into Purpura Nephritis? So what are the symptoms of Purpura Nephritis?
Firstly, there are symptoms outside of the kidney. About half of patients with Purpura Nephritis have upper respiratory tract infection 1 to 3 weeks before the disease takes place. Nearly all the patients have characteristic bleeding rash. At first, it looks like urticaria, then becomes spot purpura, which is often seen in the lower limbs and buttocks. 60% of Purpura Nephritis patients have ache in belly and hematochezia. About 30% of patients with Purpura Nephritis suffer from pain in joint, especially pain in knee and ankles.
Secondly, patients with Purpura Nephritis also have damage in the kidney. About 40% of them have damage in renal glomeruli, which often appears 8 weeks after the occurrence of purpura. In addition, it can also appear two years later. The characteristic of Purpura Nephritis is that patients have hematuria, which can be accompanied by slight proteinuria. The clinical symptoms are as follows:
1.Progressive nephritis syndrome, which is rarely seen can develop into uremia within several weeks to several months.
2. Asymptomatic hematuria and ( or) proteinuria accounts for 50% in patients with Purpura Nephritis.
3. Acute nephritis accounts for 30% of those with Purpura Nephritis.
4. Nephrotic Syndrome accounts for 10% of adults Purpura Nephritis. It is rarely seen in children.
5 A small number of patients with Purpura Nephritis can develop into Nephrotic Syndrome.
The above mentioned are about the main symptoms of Purpura Nephritis. If you have been diagnosed with it, please do not worry and receive treatment as soon as possible. According to the therapeutic theory, nearly 95% of kidney disease is due to the abnormal immunological system. So to make sure patients with Purpura Nephritis get rid of it, the abnormal immunological system should be repaired. In our hospital, the combination of Chinese Medicine is applied, which in clinic has proved its effect in thousands of patients with Purpura Nephritis.

Why I Get Purpura Nephritis

Purpura Nephritis is a kind of allergic vasculitis which is characterized by the damage of renal mesangial cells. It reflects a change from the inflammatory cell infiltration to necrotic small vessel vasculitis. It is also featured by the proliferation of renal glomerular nephritis, which is accompanied by cresent.
On one hand, allergen comes from outside such as infection, food, medicine, and so on. On the other hand, allergen comes from inside such as metabolism products. These recur every now and then. Due to a large amount of immune complex deposits into kidney, it leads to Purpura Nephritis. If patients don’t take effective measures to treat, renal fibrosis will develop, which becomes refractory.
Even caught by Purpura Nephritis, we should also be confident for we have a systematic immunotherapy for Purpura Nephritis is also an immune disease.
In many western countries, a lot of people also use immunosuppressive agent, which however is not systematic compared with immunotherapy in our Hospital. Immunotherapy can be divided into mainly six steps such as immune complex, immune clearance, immune inhibition, immune tolerance, immune adjustment and immune protection. This therapy is a combination of Chinese medicine and western medicine. As we know, all medicines have their own advantages. Immunotherapy makes full use of them. On one hand, Chinese Medicine contains many active and nutritious materials, which can improve the blood circulation, including micro-blood circulation, relieve the insufficiency of blood and oxygen, repair the damaged intrinsic cells and rebuild renal function. In addition, the active herbs can also help clear away the immune complex which deposits onto kidney, thus increasing immune ability at the same time.
Besides, stem cell in immunotherapy can also increase the immunity as well as differentiate into intrinsic cells the kidney needs and help repair the damaged intrinsic cells.

My 8 Year Old Child Was Diagnosed with SLE

Mrs Smith gets confused because her child Lily who is only 8 years old now, is diagnosed with SLE, which is short for Systemic Lupus Erythematosus. In this passage, we will mainly introduce the pathogenesis, the treatment of SLE, so as to diminish the anxiety of people such as Mrs Smith.
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus is a category for a collection of diseases with similar underlying problems with immunity (autoimmune disease). Symptoms of these diseases can affect many different body systems, including joints, skin, kidneys, blood cells, heart, and lungs. Four main types of lupus exist — systemic lupus Erythematosus, discoid lupus erythematosus, drug-induced Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, and neonatal lupus erythematosus.
In abroad, there are 50 cases among 100, 000 people, and in China, there are 70 cases among 100,000 people. Among those who are diagnosed with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, young women take up a larger proportion.
However, even if patients are diagnosed with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, they do not need to be anxious and loose confidence. With the development of modern technology in medical field, there takes place breakthroughs in the treatment of immune disease, including SLE.
One the basis of both western medicine and Chinese traditional medicine, immunotherapy is created in our Hospital, which can be divided into 6 steps, immune diagnosis, immune clearance, immune inhibition, immune tolerance, immune adjustment, and immune protection.
After a systematic diagnosis, we can figure out where the immune complex deposits exactly, the amount of immune complex and the exact type of immune response so that doctors can get more scientific diagnosis and arrange better treatment. Without it, we can not know the dosage of medicine. Less dosage can not achieve the treatment effect while too much can also cause damage to the kidney.
In immune clearance step, patients with SLE should clear away the immune complex in the blood, which can supply a cleaner inner environment for the treatment of kidney disease. For patients with SLE, the most proper blood purification method is the plasma exchange. Pay attention that the immune complex we clean is the one in the blood not the one on the kidney.
The third one is immune inhibition. There is immune complex which deposit onto kidney, which leads to immune response. Medicine is used, which can stop the excessive immune response, thus stopping the inflammation response at a rapid speed.
The fourth one is immune tolerance. After immune inhibition, the immune response can be stopped. And the damage to the kidney can be blocked. However, the immune complex still deposit onto the kidney, which leads to a new series of immune response.
The fifth one is immune adjustment. In this step, Chinese medicines are applied, which can improve the blood circulation, including micro-blood circulation and dissolve the blood stasis. In this case, the immune complex can be discharged out, and the immune system can be repaired. Note that in this step, the immune complex we clean is the one on the kidney not the one in the blood. Blood purification such as dialysis and plasma exchange can not achieve this.
Last but not least, immune protection is applied, in which stage, we use medicine which can nourish qi and blood to rebuild the intrinsic immune system. In addition, biochemical cell therapy is also used in clinic such as the transplant of stem cell, which can also help achieve this effect.
We believe that with this method, patients with SLE can control the condition and remit gradually.

Does Kidney Disease Cause High Blood Pressure?

Does kidney disease cause high blood pressure? Yes. Long time kidney disease can cause high blood pressure and generally, high blood pressure appears at the end stage of kidney. We can also say that high blood pressure is one complication of kidney disease.
1. Acute renal glomerular nephritis
Acute renal glomerular nephritis is the most common kidney disease which can lead to the increase of blood pressure. When patients are suffering from kidney disease, the renal glomerular filtration rate decreases, the filtration of sodium decreases, but the reabsorption ability of renal tubules’ function keeps normal. So the unbalance of renal glomerulus and renal tubules takes place, which leads to retention of water and sodium, thus causing high blood pressure.
2. Chronic renal glomerular nephritis
About 23% to 70% patients with chronic renal glomerular nephritis will suffer from high blood pressure with the disease developing. The more renal function declines, the higher blood pressure will be. In addition, lesion in renal parenchyma and renal tubules can also lead to high blood pressure such as insufficiency of chronic pyelonephritis. Half of them can lead to high blood pressure.
From the above mentioned, we can know that kidney disease can really lead to high blood pressure.
What measures should we take after blood pressure rises in kidney disease patients? Effective treatment is essential and critical. In this passage, we will recommend you a method Chinese Medicine.
Due to high blood pressure, the lumen of renal small arteries will become much narrower, so the perfusion to the kidney will decrease. In this case, renal fibrosis comes into being as a result of the insufficiency of blood and oxygen. The deposition of matrix becomes more and more, which invades and even takes place of the intrinsic cells in the kidney. So the physical function of kidney lose gradually. Chinese Medicine can extend all levels of renal arteries, improve the partial blood circulation, increase the effective perfusion in the kidney, improve the insufficiency of blood and oxygen in the kidney, increase the partial metabolism, accelerate the repair of damaged intrinsic cells.
In addition, the active materials in Chinese Medicine can also extend the blood vessels in all levels of the whole body, improve the micro-circulation in the whole body, promote the whole system’s blood circulation, thus reliving the high blood pressure condition.

Why We Get Hypertensive Nephropathy

Hypertensive Nephropathy is a secondary kidney disease which is caused mainly by long time high blood pressure. Generally, four factors can lead to Hypertensive Nephropathy.
1. People have disorder of nerve or internal secretion.
2. People have family history. People whose parent have Hypertensive Nephropathy are more likely to get it than those whose parents do not have it.
3. Bad living habit can also lead to Hypertensive Nephropathy such as too much intake of salt, smoking, alcohol, obesity, enormous pressure, and environment of life and environment, and so on. If the above mentioned are not paid attention, high blood pressure will develop into Hypertensive Nephropathy after 10 to 15 years.
4. Patients with high blood pressure do not attach importance on it or do not receive effective treatment, which leads to Hypertensive Nephropathy later.

How High Blood Pressure Leads to Kidney Failure

Every year, high blood pressure causes more than 25,000 new cases of kidney failure in the United States, which attracted in an increasing number of people’s condition about how to prevent it.
Long time high blood pressure will firstly develop into Hypertensive Nephropathy, which is a secondary kidney disorder. On the basis of cytology, Hypertensive Nephropathy is a kind of kidney disorder, the damage of which is endothelial cell because of insufficiency of blood. When patients are in hypertension or high blood pressure condition, blood pressure will not keep stable, which rises or decreases suddenly. In this case, the rising and falling blood pressure will stimulate the renal glomerular capillaries, which leads the wall of the renal glomerular to suffer from more pressure. The capillary walls suffer from brushing, which leads the lumen of renal capillary to become narrower, thus causing renal insufficiency. In this condition, the renal glomerular capillaries will be damaged, which attracts the infiltration of inflammatory cells. Long time filtration will make the structure of the cells change. Then, the renal glomerular filtration function will be damaged, thus causing kidney failure.
So preventing high blood pressure or hypertension is very important.
1. Taking exercise regularly, which can help blood pressure keep stable, prevent thrombosis, and sclerosis. Do not sit or lie on the bed for a long time, both of which are not benefit for the blood circulation.
2. Keep low salt diet. If people take in too much salt, which will give more burden to the body, thus causing high blood pressure as well.
3. Have more food which can keep blood pressure stable. Celery is really a good green plant which can lower high blood pressure.

How to Prevent High Blood Pressure Developing into Kidney Failure?

Long time high blood pressure can make the inner pressure in the blood rise, which leads to the leaking out of protein into urine. In this case, the filtration net of kidney will be damaged, thus causing vicious circle. If it lasts for a long time, the condition will be hard to reverse. The compensation ability of kidney will increase, so patients will develop into renal failure in advance. So how to prevent high blood pressure from developing into kidney failure? The detailed instructions are as follows:
1. monitor the blood pressure
High blood pressure can begin with youngsters and those whose parents have high blood pressure. If both of the parents have high blood pressure, their child has 46% rate of getting this disease. If one parent has high blood pressure, the rate for their child of getting high blood pressure is 28.3. So it is put forward that those who are more than 35 years old should have blood pressure test in particular so as to get timely treatment.
2. control the body weight
Obesity is a main factor which leads to high blood pressure. It is reported that the rate of high blood pressure for the fat people is 4 times higher than that of those who are not fat. So controlling the body weight is also very important.
3. control blood fat
Keep the fat in blood normal. People should have less animal fat and those which is rich in cholesterol, which can lead to atherosclerosis, thus influencing kidney as well.
4. stop smoking and drinking wine and alcohol
Both smoking and drinking wine and alcohol will increase blood pressure.
5. taking exercise
Take exercise every day, which is an effective measure which can prevent the blood pressure from rising, thus preventing kidney failure eventually.

How to Treat Hypertensive Nephropathy

As we mentioned in the premier passage, in renal fibrosis stage, patients with Hypertensive Nephropathy can have a variety of symptoms. To treat Hypertensive Nephropathy, we must start with stopping the renal fibrosis and declining high blood pressure. Chinese Medicine can function as extending blood vessels, anti-inflammatory, anti-coagulation, and degrading, etc.
The first one is extending blood vessels. Due to high blood pressure, the lumen of renal small arteries will become much narrower, so the perfusion to the kidney will decrease. In this case, renal fibrosis comes into being as a result of the insufficiency of blood and oxygen. The deposition of matrix becomes more and more, which invades and even takes place of the intrinsic cells in the kidney. So the physical function of kidney loose gradually. So to solve the insufficiency of blood and oxygen in the kidney should be the first step which can stop the renal fibrosis.
Firstly, Chinese Medicine can extend all levels of renal arteries, improve the partial blood circulation, increase the effective perfusion in the kidney, improve the insufficiency of blood and oxygen in the kidney, increase the partial metabolism, accelerate the repair of damaged intrinsic cells.
Secondly, Chinese Medicine can improve the obstruct of micro-circulation in digestive system. It can also relieve the edema in mucosa, which is caused by renal fibrosis. It can also promote the increase of digestive juice secretion, and improve the appetite. In this case, the condition of patients with Hypertensive Nephropathy can be improved.
Thirdly, the active materials in Chinese Medicine can also extend the blood vessels in all levels of the whole body, improve the micro-circulation in the whole body, promote the whole system’s blood circulation, thus improving the high blood pressure condition.
The second function of Chinese Medicine is that it can play as anti-inflammation. Due to high blood pressure, the intrinsic cells will be damaged, which will lead to the infiltration of inflammatory cells. Then, inflammatory mediators will be relieved, which can lead to the renal fibrosis. So if we do not diminish inflammatory reaction, renal fibrosis cannot be stopped. Chinese Medicine can inhibit the inflammatory mediators, inactivate the toxic materials, relieve the continuous damage to the kidney, and so on.
The third function of Chinese Medicine is anti-coagulation. Long time high blood pressure can lead to the barrier of micro-circulation, which leads to the insufficiency of blood and oxygen. Gradually, the activity of anti-coagulation decrease, which promotes the adhering and gathering of blood cells, so microthrombus comes into being. In turn, microthrombus can worsen the insufficiency of blood and oxygen, leading to the development of renal fibrosis.
The last function of Chinese Medicine is degrading. It is the key point to degrade the metabolism waste. It is also a key which can reflect whether the kidney disease can be reversible.

The Prevention of Hypertensive Nephropathy

Hypertensive Nephropathy is a kind of benign or malignant small artery arterial sclerosis caused by long time high blood pressure. Kidney is an organ which can filtrate the toxins in the body, prevent the leak out of proteins and blood cells, etc. High blood pressure can lead to high pressure in the blood, make the protein leak out. Once the protein leaks out, the filtration net system in the kidney will also be damaged, which leads to vicious circle. In addition, long time damage can lead to the irreversible condition. So if we don’t treat Hypertensive Nephropathy timely and properly, blood vessels will be damaged, which leads to the insufficiency of blood supply, thus causing damage to the damage. The above mentioned are the process of how Hypertensive Nephropathy deteriorates. Preventing Hypertensive Nephropathy becomes more and more important and necessary.
Firstly, to prevent Hypertensive Nephropathy, we should change unhealthy or unscientific lifestyle. Keep on a diet and loose weight if necessary. For those who have more fat in the waist and extra body weight, they are more likely to suffer from high blood pressure. So they should lessen the intake of energy, do more exercise, and keep a proper body weight.
Secondly, people should keep low salt diet. If they take in too much salt, the blood vessels sclerosis will take place. WHO suggest that the daily intake of salt should be under 6g. As for those with high blood pressure, only limiting the intake of salt can make blood pressure turn normal. As for those with serious high blood pressure, limiting the intake of salt can help increase the treatment effect of hypotensor and makes the dosage of hypotensor decrease gradually.
Thirdly, people with high blood pressure should balance the intake of diet. They should reduce the intake of fat, increase the intake of fresh vegetables and fruits. In addition, have more food which is rich in calcium such as milk and beans which can help control the fat in the blood and complement the potassium and calcium.
Fourthly, patients with high blood pressure should take part in regular exercise according to the specific physical condition for enough and proper exercise can help strengthen the body and accelerate the metabolism in the body.
Last but not least, have test on the blood pressure, prevent it from being abnormal. Once blood pressure increases rapidly or people feel discomfort, go to see a doctor as soon as possible. In daily life, we should take in medicine following doctor’s advice.

Treatment for Hypertensive Nephropathy

Hypertensive Nephropathy is a secondary kidney disease which is caused by long time high blood pressure. According to the data from recent years, among those who are under dialysis, renal failure patients whose disease is caused by primary kidney is decreasing, while those whose kidney disease is caused by high blood pressure is increasing. Experts in kidney disease field say that as long as patients find and treat high blood pressure as soon as possible, they can avoid kidney damage. However, in most time, when many patients develop into uremia stage, they start to realize that high blood pressure caused it. So how to treat Hypertensive Nephropathy?
Firstly, let’s know about the pathological mechanism of high blood pressure. Continuous high blood pressure in arteries leads to arteriosclerosis in the whole body, which leads to the supply of blood in the tissues and organs, causing serious result. And in this case, the complications of high blood pressure come into being. Among the complications, Hypertensive Nephropathy is the most obvious one. What’s more, people who are diagnosed with Hypertensive Nephropathy are increasing day by day.
Long time high blood pressure will lead to the insufficiency of blood in kidney. Day by day, kidney glomeruli and kidney tubules suffer from change and their functions decline consequently. With time passing by, the sclerosis of glomeruli is more serious, which leads to renal failure and even uremia. So effective and timely treatment is necessary.
Many patients in western countries choose western medicines such as hypotensor, and don’t adjust the treatment plan, which makes them miss the best opportunity. Western medicine can not treat the damaged intrinsic cells and only focus on diminishing the symptoms.
In contrast, Chinese medicine contains much active and nutritious materials, which can first promote the blood circulation and dissolve the blood stasis, after which, an inner environment is created. Then the nutrition in Chinese medicine can also repair the damaged intrinsic cells and recover renal functions gradually. As we mentioned above, in advanced stage, there appear sclerosis, which means that many intrinsic cells become nephrotic. However, Chinese medicine can not help. At this moment, Hypertensive Nephropathy patients are suggested to receive stem cell transplant. Stem cells are primary cells which can differentiate into different cells which have various functions which the body is in need of after they are transplanted into the body.
Compared with western medicine, stem cell has advantages.
The advantages of stem cell therapy are as follows:
1. Stem cell therapy can enter kidney nidus and then play roles and has no side effect.
2. Stem cell can generate capillary blood vessels and improve partial micro-circulation.
3. It can secrete a series of nutritious stimulating factors, which activates the damaged intrinsic cells and makes them recover.
4. Improve the damaged immunologic function.
In other words, the combination treatment of Chinese medicine and stem cell transplant is the best choice.
Besides these, patients with Hypertensive Nephropathy should also pay attention to the following aspects so as to assist the treatment.
Firstly, Hypertensive Nephropathy patients should change the diet habit and take in food with the instructions from doctors. They should control the supply of energy. Take in proper amount of energy according to their specific condition such as weight. In addition, Hypertensive Nephropathy patients often have disorder of fat metabolism. So reducing the intake of fat is also necessary.
Secondly, Hypertensive Nephropathy patients should also keep low salt diet and rich vitamin. They should control the intake of salt and avoid salted food. In addition, those with preservative should also be limited. The intake of vitamin is also beneficial to the metabolism adjustment.

Membranous Nephrotic Syndrome

What is Membranous Nephrotic Syndrome? What’re the differences between Nephrotic Syndrome and Membranous Nephrotic Syndrome? Nephrotic Syndrome, as we know, is a group of renal glomerular disease, which is featured by a large amount of proteinuria, serious edema, hypoproteinemia and hyperlipemia, which in a conclusion we can call three high and one low for short. Nephrotic Syndrome, as we mentioned above, can be classified into primary Nephrotic Syndrome and secondary Nephrotic Syndrome. If patients with Diabetic Nephropathy which has developed into the fourth stage have a large amount of proteinuria, serious edema, hypoproteinemia and hyperlipemia, we can say they can also be diagnosed with secondary Nephrotic Syndrome. Diabetic Nephropathy is a clinical diagnosis which is termed according to the symptoms, indexes, and so on, while Nephrotic Syndrome is a pathological diagnosis, which is termed due to cytology.
So what’s is Membranous Nephrotic Syndrome? It is named according to cytology. When people feel discomfort and are diagnosed with Membranous Nephrotic Syndrome, they are so confused and wonder their real condition in detail. As a matter of fact, in recent years, the morbidity of Membranous Nephrotic Syndrome in increasing.
Membranous Nephrotic Syndrome, as its name implies, is a kind of primary Nephrotic Syndrome, which accounts for 10% of renal glomerular disease. Among adult Nephrotic Syndrome, Membranous Nephrotic Syndrome takes up 10% to 30%. Idiopathic membranous nephropathy for children is rarely seen. Membranous Nephrotic Syndrome can be found out in people with any age. Most of them begin with more than 35 years old. And the average age is 40 years. The onset climax is divided into two period: 30 to 40 years old and 50 to 60 years old.
Males who are diagnosed with Membranous Nephrotic Syndrome are more than women. 80% of patients with Membranous Nephrotic Syndrome have symptoms of Nephrotic Syndrome: a large amount of proteinuria, serious edema, hypoproteinemia and hyperlipemia. And 30% to 40% of them have microscopic hematuria and few of them have gross hematuria. Membranous Nephrotic Syndrome develops slowly, and it takes a long time for them to develop into renal failure. About 40% to 60% of them have renal vein thrombosis. At this stage, hormone and cytotoxic agents have no effect on it.
Generally, patients with Membranous Nephrotic Syndrome have no gross hematuria. Different from much acute infection nephritis, at the early stage of this disease, patients have no high blood pressure. However, with the disease developing, 30% to 50% will have high blood pressure. At the early stage, renal function of patients with Membranous Nephrotic Syndrome is normal. Several weeks or months after the onset, GFR(glomerular filtration rate)will decrease.
Normally, patients with Membranous Nephrotic Syndrome have no infection of upper respiratory tract. A few of patients have asymptomatic proteinuria. 70% to 80% of them have a large amount of proteinuria. The incubation period of Membranous Nephrotic Syndrome is generally several hours to several months.
From the above-mentioned, we can get a general idea about Membranous Nephrotic Syndrome. Once diagnosed with Membranous Nephrotic Syndrome, patients should receive treatment as early as possible.

Symptoms of Membranous Kidney Disease

Membranous Kidney Disease can also be called Membranous nephritis, which can be primary one and secondary one. It can be caused by infection of hepatitis virus, lupus, medical treatment and cancer. The characteristic of Membranous Kidney Disease is that it recurs easily, and develops for a long time. It is caused by the deposition of immune complex on renal glomerular basilar membrane together with increased depth. Nephrotic syndrome and proteinuria without any symptoms are the main characteristic of Membranous Kidney Disease. Membranous Kidney Disease can happen on people at any age, the most of which are adults. In addition, more than 80% of them are more than 30 years old. The summit age for this disease is 36 to 40 years old. The ratio between male to female is 1.5: 1. And males are higher than that of female. In foreign countries, Membranous Kidney Disease accounts for 30 to 50% of Nephrotic syndrome and in China, Membranous Kidney Disease accounts for 10% to 15% among Nephrotic syndrome.
Primary Membranous Kidney Disease is also not a simple disease, which can be caused by many factors and these factors cause kidney damage. Factors are such as gene and environment. Gene increases the immune response of Membranous Kidney Disease.
Although Membranous Kidney Disease can be seen in people at any age, most of whom are more than 30 years old. The average age is 40 years old and the summit age are two, which are 30 to 40 and 50 to 60. In most cases, Membranous Kidney Disease develops slowly and few of them have asymptomatic proteinuria. most of them have a large amount of proteinuria. edema is the first symptom for 80% of them and 20% of them go to see a doctor in a hospital as a result of a large amount of protein in urine. at the early stage of this disease, most of patients have no high blood pressure and with time passing by, about 30% to 50% of them will have high blood pressure.

Renal Fibrosis and Membranous Glomerulonephritis

Renal fibrosis is a kind of pathological damage in the kidney, which shows a process how a kidney develops from a healthy one to a damaged one and even a deserted one. Due to many factors such as wound, infection, inflammation, blood circulation block, and immune and so on, the intrinsic cells will be damaged, which leads to renal sclerosis gradually, thus forming scar eventually. The renal fibrosis is characterized by the abnormal deposition of ECM.
Membranous nephropathy, which is short for MN, is a kind of renal glomerular nephritis. It is a medical term which is on the basis of renal biopsy. It can be primary one, and also can be a secondary one. It usually takes place after infection, systematic disease such as lupus nephritis, medical treatment, and cancer, etc. The characteristic of membranous nephropathy (MN) is that it recurs easily, and develops slowly. The manifestation of membranous nephropathy is nephrotic syndrome, the main symptom of which is the asymptomatic proteinuria in clinic.
What’s the relationship between renal fibrosis and membranous nephropathy? All kidney disease’s development is a renal fibrosis, and the same goes for membranous nephropathy. Generally, renal fibrosis can be divided into three periods.
The first period is inflammation stage. After kidney is damaged due to the kinds of reasons, inflammation will appear. In clinic, there is no symptom except the one in abnormal urine test. Due to the strong ability of compensation, the symptoms are hysteretic. As a matter of fact, the damage has taken place inside of the kidney. In this stage, if the treatment is timely and effective, the condition can reverse.
The second stage is renal fibrosis formation stage. In this stage, inflammation has damaged renal units and influenced renal function. If in this stage, patients receive treatment such as extending blood vessels, anticoagulation, anti-inflammation, degradation, and so on, patients can be far from dialysis. However, if patients miss the opportunity, they will come into uremia stage.
In the third stage, patients develop into uremia stage. In this stage, patients can not loose confidence, for as long as there is urine, it proves that there is blood flow in the kidney and we can let medicine come into kidney through blood flow.

What Is Borderline Diabetes

Definition:
Borderline diabetes is also known as pre-diabetes. It is a state in which a person has higher glucose or sugar level than normal but not enough to be diagnosed as diabetic. For many people this is a symptom-free disease, so most people with pre-diabetes are unaware that they have. In a person without diabetes, the body will produce insulin to help the cells break down food into energy. In diabetics and pre-diabetics, however, either the body is unable to create insulin or it is unable to utilize the insulin. This is one reason why people with borderline diabetes tend to be tired much of the time. They are eating, but their body is unable to break down the food into usable energy. According to the American Diabetes Association, normal fasting blood sugar is lower than 100 mg/dl. A glucose level between 100 and 125 indicates pre-diabetes.
Symptoms:
Is there any symptoms when a person is suffering from borderline diabetes? Symptoms of borderline diabetes may be mild and go unnoticed until borderline diabetes turns into full-blown Type 2 diabetes. Alternatively, symptoms may be as severe as diabetes. Borderline diabetics may experience fatigue, increased thirst, hunger, mood swings, blurred vision and increased urination (both frequency and output). In addition, you may have wounds that heal more slowly and you may be prone to yeast or other opportunistic infections.
Prognosis:
Diabetes can lead to vision problems, kidney disease, heart disease and other life-threatening illnesses. If your doctor has diagnosed you with borderline diabetes/pre-diabetes, consider it a timely warning. You have the chance to change your lifestyle and possibly avoid serious complications. So preventing is necessary.
Prevention:
How to prevent borderline diabetes?
Prevent diabetes by following a diabetic diet and getting appropriate exercise for your physical condition. Losing extra pounds sometimes prevents diabetes. Even when weight loss does not entirely prevent diabetes, losing those extra pounds may prevent you from having to go on insulin or from developing serious complications associated with diabetes.

What Causes Type 1 Diabetes?

What causes Type 1 Diabetes? It is necessary to figure it out. Only when we understand the mechanism, can we treat it on the basis of the mechanism and achieve better effect. Generally, the causes can be divided into the following aspects:
1. defect of autoimmune system
In the blood of patients with Type 1 Diabetes, doctors find out kinds autoimmune antibodies such as GADA, ICA, and so on. Such abnormal antibodies can damage the beta cells which can secrete insulin and stop them from normally secreting.
2. genetic factor
At present, the research indicates that genetic factor is the pathological basis of Type 1 Diabetes. Patients with Type 1 Diabetes usually have family history. We can also say that if parents have Type 1 Diabetes, their children also have more ability of suffering from it compared with those whose parents do not have this disease.
3. infection
Infection is also an inducement which can lead to Type 1 Diabetes. Usually, before patients get symptoms of Type 1 Diabetes, they usually get infected.
4. other factors
Milk, oxygen radical and some raticide may also lead to Type 1 Diabetes. This is also under research now.
From the above mentioned, we can get a conclusion what can cause Type 1 Diabetes. If patients are diagnosed, they should take effective treatment so as to prevent it from developing and relieve the symptoms. In our Hospital, we have immunotherapy, which can repair the damaged beta cells and recover its function, thus lowering blood sugar.

Care for Type 1 Diabetes

Besides treatment, patients with Type 1 Diabetes should also pay attention to the daily care, which can assist the treatment. Most patients are youngsters and they should take care from diet, exercise, psychotherapy.
Diet:
1. energy intake
Patients should have proper amount of energy intake, which can meet the need of the body. And they should also limit the intake if the body weight is out of range.
2. protein
The intake of protein can influence the change of renal haemodynamics. Too much intake of protein can increase the burden of the kidney.
3. fibrin
The intake of fibrin can lower the blood glucose after meal. However, too much intake can also lead to discomfort in belly and influence the absorption of minerals.
4. fat
The intake of fat in a day should account for 30 to 50 of the total at most. They can also have two fish in a week.
Exercise
Exercise help patients with Type 1 Diabetes make full use of blood glucose and control the blood glucose. So patients with Type 1 Diabetes can take part in activities such as dancing, swimming. In addition, avoid climbing and diving, which are strenuous and may lead to low blood glucose, thus causing danger.
Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy also plays an important role in the recovery. So parents and friends should take care of children with Type 1 Diabetes and help them be confident that as long as the treatment is proper and they follow doctor’s advice, they can recover and live a normal life.
In addition, as for the treatment of Type 1 Diabetes, they are suggested to take immunotherapy, which is a combination therapy of Chinese traditional medicine and western medicine such as stem cell transplant. Firstly, it can give a general adjustment, improve the blood circulation, dissolve the blood stasis, improve the function of pancrease islet, thus lowing blood sugar, thus treating diabetes. Secondly, it has little side effect, compared with western medicine and can improve the life quality of patients.

How Much Creatinine Level Can Be Reduced by Dialysis

Some kidney disease patients who are under dialysis ask how much creatinine level can be reduced by dialysis. Generally, in China, when serum creatinine rises to 707umol/L, patients begin to take dialysis. In most of other countries in the world, patients receive dialysis when serum creatinine rises to more than 450umol/L.
Dialysis can really reduce creatinine, and long time creatinine can even help those who have not very high creatinine decrease the level into the normal one. However, dialysis can not stop. Why? Dialysis means blood purification in most of time. It is just like an artificial machine, which can help discharge the creatinine but can not stop the deterioration of kidney function. Once creatinine rises, it proves that there appears damage in the kidney, especially the damage of intrinsic cells in the kidney. The leak out of creatinine is due to the damage of renal glomerular filtration barrier. If we do not repair it, creatinine will rise again even it turns normal with the help of dialysis.
So from the above, we can get a conclusion that to reduce serum creatinine to normal, we should not only take dialysis but also use medicine which can repair damaged cells so as to maintain dialysis. What medicine can achieve better effect? In our Hospital, we have Chinese Medicine. Firstly, there are many active and nutritious herbs in Chinese Medicine, which can promote the blood circulation and dissolve the stasis in the blood, thus improving micro-circulation of all parts in the body. Secondly, the nutritious herbs can also supply nutrition to the kidney, thus improving the insufficiency of blood and oxygen in the kidney and repairing the damaged intrinsic cells in the kidney at the same time. Thirdly, the nutritious herbs can also benefit qi and blood, which can increase the immunity of chronic kidney disease patients. Fourthly, compared with dialysis, Chinese Medicine can stop creatinine from rising again. The reasons are as follows: on one hand, Chinese Medicine can repair the damaged intrinsic cells, which can prevent creatinine leaking out again. On the other hand, Chinese Medicine can increase the immunity. Patients will not be easy to suffer from it again although being infected.

Indications for Dialysis Therapy

Patients who are diagnosed with kidney disease are interested in whether they will receive dialysis one day. In this passage, we will introduce the indications for dialysis therapy. They can go as follows:
The first one is when patients are suffering from acute renal failure. The indications go as follows:
1. Patients suffer from anuria for two days or suffer from oliguria for three days should receive dialysis.
2. Kidney disease patients whose body weight increases more than 2 kg every day also should consider dialysis therapy.
3. Kidney disease patients who are accompanied by edema, pulmonary edema and hydrothorax should do dialysis as well so as to prevent the toxins from damaging in patients’ body.
4. Patients who have had symptoms of uremia such as nausea, vomiting, bleeding tendency, and nerve symptoms and mental symptoms should take measures to take dialysis at once.
5. Serum creatinine is more than 450umol/L, or serum BUN is more than 21.42m·mol/L. The serum BUN increases 10.7mmol/L per day, and the serum potassium increase 1.0mmol/L. The serum HCO3 is less than 15mmol/L.
If patients with acute renal failure have had one of the above mentioned symptoms, it is necessary to take dialysis. And what’s more, early dialysis can prevent kinds of complications, which is also the key whether the treatment is successful or not.
Secondly, as for patients with chronic kidney disease should also take dialysis when the following indicates take place.
1. Chronic Kidney Disease patients who can not correct the electrolyte and abnormal acid-base balance should take dialysis.
2. Chronic Kidney Disease patients who have damage in central nerves or nerve ending, and mental barrier should also take dialysis.
3. Chronic Kidney Disease patients who suffer from edema in the whole body, or have pulmonary should take dialysis at once.
From the above –mentioned, we can make a conclusion that those who have one of the above mentioned indications should receive dialysis. In addition, they should also consider their primary disease, clinical symptoms, the degree of anemia, the condition of heart function, and the amount of urine, etc. What’s more, during dialysis, patients should also take some medicine, which assists the dialysis.
However, patients with kidney disease also are confused about one question: what’s the side effect of dialysis? Can dialysis make patients with kidney disease get rid of disease from root? Actually, dialysis can just clear the toxins in the body for kidney is nearly out of work. To treat kidney disease, we must apply medicine which can repair the damaged intrinsic cells and in this way, the renal function can be recovered.

When Are We Supposed to Start Dialysis

Dialysis is a term which is very familiar to patients with kidney disease. For those who have been diagnosed with kidney disease not long ago, they care about whether and when they start dialysis. On the other hand, those who have been under dialysis want out of dialysis one day considering the adverse effects it brings.
1. when to dialysis
Generally speaking, different countries have different standards, but which is all mainly on the basis of serum creatinine. For example, in China, it is generally believed that in clinic, kidney disease patients start dialysis when the serum creatinine is as high as 707 umol/L. However, in China, there are patients who start dialysis when serum creatinine is more than 350umol/L. Normally, in the world, patients start dialysis when the serum creatinine is as high as 450 umol/L for in this stage, there are a certain amount of creatinine which accumulates in the body, which is toxic and will damage our body if not be cleared for a long time.
2. Can dialysis be stopped once stared?
For patients who have been under dialysis, they want out of dialysis for many reasons. Firstly, it takes time, which needs patients to go to hospital in most of time. Secondly, once patients receive dialysis, it reminds that we are patients, not a normal person, which increases the mental burden at the same time. Thirdly, some patients have realized that dialysis can not treat kidney disease fundamentally, which can only help clear the toxic in the blood.
So more and more patients look for the better treatment which can not only help patients repair the renal function but also stop dialysis. In our hospital, we mainly focus on it and after years of trial and error, we created immunotherapy, which is both on the basis of Chinese medicine but also on the basis of western medicine such as stem cell therapy. It can be divided into 6 main steps, which are immune diagnosis, immune clearance, immune inhibition, immune tolerance, immune adjustment and immune protection, which has no side effects at the same time. For more information, please consult us on line or email us.

Anemia for Chronic Kidney Disease in Children

Anemia can be caused by many factors such as kidney problems or kidney disorder. How anemia comes into being for patients with chronic kidney disease in children? Only after we figure it out, can we think of effective measures to treat it.
Firstly, the generation of red blood cells decreases. Because kidney function is damaged, the EPO in kidney disease patients will produce less, thus leading to anemia. EPO is produced in kidney in normal condition.
Secondly, in the late stage of kidney disease, a lot of toxic materials accumulates, which leads to the damage to the red blood cells and the inhibition of hematopoietic function is also damaged. Shortened lifespan of red blood cells leads to anemia.
What are the results or complications of anemia for a long time for children? Long time anemia can lead to poor appetite, fatigue, doldrums, which will influence children’s growth and even study, which is concerned by many patients. What shall the parents do for them? Which medicine or therapy is suitable for anemia children caused by renal disease? In this passage, we will introduce a therapy which has no side effects and will not influence children’s growth: Chinese Medicine. Chinese Medicine can promote the blood circulation and dissolve the stasis in the blood, creating a clearer inner environment. Secondly, Chinese Medicine contains many active and nutritious substances, which can repair the damaged intrinsic cells, thus relieving anemia. When the EPO can secrete normally, anemia can be treated fundamentally. Last but not least, Chinese Medicine is from herbs of nature, which has a micro process compared with the traditional Chinese medicine, which has no side effects or adverse effects compared with the western medicine such as hormones and immunosuppressive agent. In addition, it can also increase the immunity, thus preventing the anemia from recurring.

What Is Chronic Hematuria

What is chronic hematuria? Hematuria means that there are red blood cells in the urine. Generally, hematuria can be divided into gross hematuria and microscopic hematuria.
Gross hematuria means that with our naked eyes, we can see the urine looks red like water where raw meat is washed while microscopic hematuria means that we can not see it with our naked eyes. We can only see more than 3 red blood cells with the help of microscopy per 3 high power field.
Once diagnosed with hematuria, people will become very anxious and worried, thinking how it comes into being or the reason why there is hematuria.
Generally, many factors can lead to hematuria such as infection, the rupture of cysts in the body, menses, and so on. However, if the hematuria lasts for more than 3 months, which is also accompanied by proteinuria, we will consider whether we have had kidney disorder. Why? In normal condition, red blood cells can not discharge out of our body, for red blood cells are bigger molecules compared with small molecules such as creatinine. Only when the kidney is damaged, can the red blood cells filtrate out, thus forming hematuria. So if the hematuria lasts for a long time, we will consider whether it is physiological one.
To treat hematuria caused by kidney disorder, you are strongly suggested to treat with immunotherapy, which has no side effects and can prevent hematuria from recurring.

Herbal Medicine Remedy for Proteinuria with CKD

Proteinuria is a very common symptom for patients with CKD. As we know, when people are suffering from kidney disease, the renal function must be damaged. When kidney function is damaged, there must be damaged intrinsic cells in the kidney. Protein in urine is common in many chronic kidney diseases such as nephrotic syndrome, diabetic nephropathy, and so on. In many foreign countries, hormones and immunosuppressive agents are applied, which is proved that protein in urine will recur someday in the future once infected, and so on. More and more patients are seeking for a more effective method towards herbal medicine remedy. Next, we will introduce you some prescription which consists of herbal medicine remedy.
1. Nightshade 30g, bittersweet 30g, Indian strawberry 30g, nidus vespae 9g, boiled. This prescription can treat refractory proteinuria, which can also play functions such as immunosuppressive agents.
2. Virgin soil 15g, radix pseudostellariae 15g, dangshen 10g, Astragalus mongholicus 20g, fuling 10g, Morinda officinalis 10g, fructus psoraleae 10g, , fenugreek 10g, boil them. This prescription can increase the protein in plasma and diminish protein in urine.
· 3. thunder god vine
· Thunder god vine is also a Chinese medicine which can play immunosuppressive function. Both cases in clinic and the experiment in animals have proved that thunder god vine can reduce the secretion of protein in urine and reduce the pathological change in renal tissues.
· 4. micro-Chinese medicine
· Micro-Chinese medicine is an advanced therapy compared with traditional Chinese medicine, which has a micro process and can increase the use ratio of the Chinese medicine. It is also abstracted from nature’s herbs and remedies. It is now part of immunotherapy in Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital which is on the basis of the theory that most kidney diseases are caused by immune disorder. Immune disorder leads to low immune ability. Low immune ability leads to the deposition of immune complex on the kidney. So immunotherapy in Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital can be divided into six steps: immune diagnosis, immune clearance, immune inhibition, immune tolerance, immune
Adjustment and immune protection. For more information, please consult us online or email us. We are glad to serve.

Treatment of Renal Parenchymal Disease

The parenchyma is functional parts of an organ in the body. This is in contrast to the stroma, which refers to the structural tissue of organs, namely, the connective tissues. Renal parenchyma is composed of renal nephrons and collecting ducts. Nephron is the essential structure and functional unit of the kidney and each human kidney contains about more than one million nephrons. The nephrons contain arterioles, or small blood vessels, known as glomeruli, that are surrounded by tubules. The glomeruli receive oxygen rich blood that contain excess electrolytes, salts, and water and transport the unnecessary blood products and water to the renal tubules. Due to their work, kidney functions such as filtrating urine, maintain the balance of electrolyte and the balance of blood pressure, and so on. We can get a conclusion that renal parenchyma plays a dominant role of the whole kidney.
Renal parenchymal disease includes maladies that damage the outermost internal region of the kidney where filtration and urine formation occur. Autoimmune disorders, medical conditions, or obstructions may all contribute to renal parenchymal disease. From the view of cytology, renal parenchymal disease can also due to the damage of five intrinsic cells. Combining the immunology and cytology, experts researched immune therapy, which can be divided into several steps, the main remedy of which is Chinese Medicine, stem cells also included.
Firstly, for those with high creatinine more than 450umol/L, they are suggested to have blood purification, which can discharge some toxins in the blood such as creatinine, urea nitrogen, and so on.
Secondly, after that, Chinese Medicine is used, which contains active Chinese remedy and can repair the damaged intrinsic cells in renal parenchyma, recover renal structure, restore renal function, thus increasing renal function.
Thirdly, stem cells can also be used, which can differentiate into intrinsic cells in renal parenchyma and increase immune ability as well.

Can Glomerulonephritis with Rheumatic patients Do Dialysis at once?

Can Glomerulonephritis with Rheumatic patients do dialysis at once? This is a question which put forward by patients. Generally, glomerular nephritis can be caused by many reasons such as rheumatoid arthritis, infection, lupus nephritis, medicines and so on. Besides, long time irregular diet, bad living habit, flu can also lead to renal glomerular nephritis.
Firstly, whether patients with Rheumatic depends on the level of serum creatinine. Generally, in the world, patients with kidney disease take dialysis when the serum creatinine is as high as 445 umol/L. Creatinine is a kind of toxin which comes into being due to the metabolism of muscle.So long time deposition of creatinine in the blood will cause a series of harm to the body, including kidney.
Secondly, Rheumatic has no bad influence and will not be influenced as well if patients do dialysis. In addition, about the blood purification, patients can choose many kinds, such as dialysis, which can filtrate small molecules, and plasma exchange, which can clear away immune complex.
Thirdly, only dialysis or blood purification technology is not enough. Glomerulonephritis and Rheumatic are both caused by immune disorder of the body. In this progress, cycling immune complex in the blood will also deposit onto kidney, which leads to excessive immune reaction, thus causing kidney disease. But blood purification can only clear away the immune complex which is in blood, after which, there is still ones on the kidney. So we should use immune adjustment medicine to clear away the immune complex on the kidney.These medicine contains Chinese Medicine, stem cell transplant and so on. Among them, Chinese Medicine can improve the blood circulation, including the micro-blood circulation, repair the damaged intrinsic cells and increase the immune ability of patients with renal glomerular nephritis. Stem cell can differentiate into intrinsic cells as well, which can also increase the immunity of patients with renal glomerular nephritis. After these, both renal glomerular nephritis and Rheumatic will remit.

GFR 14, Urine 200ml under Dialysis

One of my patients is suffering from diabetic nephropathy. 16 years ago, she was diagnosed with diabetes. Now she is under dialysis. And she takes dialysis three times a week. Her creatinine is 228 umol/L. Through ECT, the GFR is 14, which indicates that she has already in uremia stage. Her urine is 200ml per day. My patient Mrs Read told me that now her biggest dream is to stop dialysis one day. She asked me whether she can realize it.
Firstly, I told her that as long as she has urine, it indicates that there is blood flow in kidney. In this case, medicines can reach the kidney, thus playing therapeutic effect. Secondly, as long as the GFR is more than 5, there will be hope. As long as the GFR rises to 10 to 15, we can take effective measures to reduce the times of dialysis. And when the GFR is more than 15, renal failure patients can get rid of dialysis.
So from the above, we can get a conclusion that according my patient Mrs Read’s condition, she can realize her dream. To achieve it, what should we do? In this passage, we will mainly introduce the immunotherapy, which can be generally divided into 6 steps and contains mainly Chinese Medicine and stem cell.
Firstly, after patients are discharged in our hospital, we will arrange a systematic and scientific physical examination for them, the purpose of which is to know the type of pathological damage and where the immune complex deposits on earth. All this can supply evidence for the treatment plan of doctor in clinic.
Secondly, medicines are used to inhibit the immune response. In Chinese Medicine, there are active and nutritious herbs which can increase the immune ability as well as improve the blood circulation, repair the damaged intrinsic cell, thus rebuilding renal structure and reviving renal function. Generally, patients receive Chinese Medicine once a day, and each lasts for 45 minutes.
Thirdly, stem cell is applied in clinic, which is especially proper for the repair of diabetes. Stem cells can repair beta cells. Through repairing islet, new islet beta cells can be born and pancrease can have function of secreting insulin again. Factors which come into being by stem cell can stimulate the regeneration of islet beta cells. Stem cells can also repair other cells which insulin secrets. In the human body, islet beta cells can secret insulin, and besides, in other tissues and organs, there are also other cells which can play the same roles. Stem cells can repair the damaged ones, and increase the secretion amount, thus making blood sugar decrease. In addition, stem cells can also differentiate into cells which the kidney needs and increase the immune ability as well.
After these, diabetic nephropathy can not only be treated and will not recur easily. Day by day, patients such as Mrs Read can get rid of dialysis as well.

The Best Treatment for Chronic Kidney Disease

After seeing doctors here and there, patients with chronic kidney disease are seeking a better treatment considering both effective treatment and preventing the recurrence. Western medicine develops these years but there are still adverse effects. Chinese traditional medicine has little side effects also achieves big breakthrough in recent years, however, the speed is slow. Inheriting both the advantages and omitting their disadvantages, experts researched out immunotherapy, which is also on the basis that most kidney diseases are caused by immune problem. Immunotherapy can be divided into 6 steps, which are: scientific immune diagnosis, immune clearance, immune inhibition, immune tolerance, immune adjustment and immune protection.
As we mentioned above, the deposition of immune complex deposit onto the kidney, which leads to a series of excessive immune reaction, thus causing kidney disease. The reason why immune complex deposits onto the kidney is that the immune system is out of order. So from the above, we can get a conclusion that we should focus on the clearance of the immune complex and the repair of the immune system. The detailed explanation of immunotherapy is as follows:
1. immune diagnosis
Firstly, we should have a systematic diagnosis on about where the immune complex deposit exactly, the amount of immune complex and the exact type of immune response so that doctors can get more scientific diagnosis and arrange better treatment.
2. immune clearance
Secondly, patients with kidney disease should clear away the immune complex in the blood, which can supply a cleaner inner environment for the treatment of kidney disease. In this step, immune complex which exists in blood can be cleared.
3. immune inhibition
The third one is immune inhibition. There is immune complex deposit onto kidney, which leads to immune response as well. In this case, we use medicine which can stop the excessive immune response, thus stopping the inflammation response at a rapid speed.
4. immune tolerance
The fourth one is immune tolerance. After immune inhibition, the immune response can be stopped. And the damage to the kidney can be blocked. However, the immune complex still deposit onto the kidney, which leads to a new series of immune response.
5. immune adjustment
The fifth one is immune adjustment. In this step, Chinese medicines are applied, which can improve the blood circulation, including micro-blood circulation and dissolve the blood stasis. In this case, the immune complex can be discharged out, and the immune system can be repaired. Note that blood purification such as dialysis can not achieve this.
6. immune protection
The six one is immune protection, in which stage, we use medicine which can nourish qi and blood to rebuild the intrinsic immune system. In addition, biochemical cell therapy is also used in clinic such as the transplant of stem cell, which can also help achieve this effect.
