Atrophic Kidney

Horror of atrophic kidney
Once suffering from atrophic kidney, it means that the kidney is in a fibrosis stage. Fibrosis means atrophy. And fibrosis stage usually means advanced stage of renal failure. Atrophic kidney makes people with chronic kidney disease feel desperate, worrying whether their kidney can work for a long time. As a matter of fact, kidney which shows atrophy is not as horrible as they imagine.
Essence of atrophic kidney
Atrophic kidney means the kidney shrinks with more and more parenchyma is damaged, where there are not so many intrinsic cells but matrix, which makes it easy to shrink and in other words, the size of the kidney become smaller. In atrophic kidney stage, renal fibrosis becomes serious, the whole kidney is in the insufficiency of blood and oxygen and there have been appeared many necrotic intrinsic cells.
Solution of atrophic kidney
In this stage, many chronic kidney disease loose heart and even feel desperate. However, we should be confident about the modern rapidly developed medical science. GFR is a very important and scientific index which can show the renal function and has been accepted by doctors in most advanced countries.
Kidney experts said that as long as they have GFR 5, we can increase it into 10 to 15, and in this case, the times of dialysis can be decreased. Further speaking, as long as we can increase in into more than 15, advanced stage chronic kidney disease patients can stop dialysis. In Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital, specialists created a combination therapy, which combines Chinese Medicine, an innovation of traditional Chinese medicine and stem cell transplant. Generally, Chinese Medicine is used in advance, which can play roles such as extending blood vessels, anti-coagulation, anti-inflammation and degrading, which can change the insufficiency of blood and oxygen, thus creating a favorable environment for the differentiation of stem cell in the body.

What Can Cause Atrophic Kidney

Three types:
Atrophic kidney can be divided into three types.
1. The left kidney becomes atrophic.
2. The right kidney becomes atrophic.
3. Both of the kidneys become atrophic.
Causes of atrophic kidney
1. congenital renal aplasia
2. Advanced stage of kidney diseases are such as renal failure( kidney failure), uremia, the specific types of which can be divided into acute renal glomerular disease, diabetic renal fibrosis, the rejection of kidney transplant, chronic glomerular nephritis, renal cortical necrosis, Alport syndrome, acute renal tubular necrosis, hypertensive renal sclerosis.
Process
When atrophic kidney appears, it indicates that chronic kidney disease has developed into renal failure stage, and even advanced renal failure stage uremia. In this stage, serum creatinine increases, blood urea nitrogen inceases, the kidney is damaged seriously, the renal parenchyma appears, and kidneys become atrophic accordingly. If atrophic kidney appears, it means that the renal glomerular filtration rate becomes less than 50% for kidney has a strong ability of compensation.
Measures
1. Chronic kidney disease patients who have had atrophic kidney must stop drinking alcohol and stop smoking as well as having enough rest.
2. If only one side of kidney is atrophic, patients can consider cutting off the atropic one.
3. We can decline the level of serum creatinine by dialysis for the time being, and control the intake of protein.
Treatment
Once in renal fibrosis or atrophic kidney stage, there must be three kinds of intrinsic cells in the kidney, which are healthy or normal ones, damaged ones and necrotic ones. The proportion of the damaged and even necrotic ones takes up a larger ratio. To solve it, we should both repair the damaged ones with Chinese Medicine and differentiate into new ones which can replace the necrotic ones with stem cell transplant.
Firstly, Chinese Medicine improves the insufficiency of blood and oxygen in the kidney with its active materials, blocks the renal fibrosis to some extent, and revives the renal function to some degree.
Secondly, as for those necrotic ones, stem cell can differentiate into the new one, which can help rebuild renal structure and recover renal function.

Tiredness (fatigue) and CKD Stage 3

What’s the relationship between tiredness (fatigue) and CKD Stage 3? On one hand, tiredness (fatigue) can be the inducement factor of chronic kidney disease. Kidney is an important organ the main function of which is to discharge the toxins in the body. Besides, kidney can also play roles such as adjusting the balance of water, and so on. So long time working can lead to fatigue.
When some normal people go to hospital due to feeling fatigue, they can be diagnosed with chronic kidney disease stage 3. It is because of the compensation ability of kidney. Although there have appeared damage inside of the kidney, for example, some renal glomeruli are damaged due to insufficiency of blood and oxygen, other healthy renal glomeruli can do more filtration work to replace them. So we can not see any change. With the damage are more serious, some such as fatigue will appear, and people have developed into chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 3.
On the other hand, people who know he has had chronic kidney disease in advance can also develop into stage 3 if their treatment is not effective. In our Hospital, we mainly use immunotherapy to treat chronic kidney disease stage 3, which can mainly be divided into 6 steps: scientific diagnosis, brand new medicine which is used to inhibit the immune response, immune tolerance, immune adjustment, immune protection and immune clearance for about 95% of chronic kidney diseases are caused by immune disorder.
So firstly, when patients are discharged in our hospital, they are arranged to have a systematic examination, which can assure the treatment is scientific, and in other words, a systematic examination is a premise of proper treatment for it can help judge the pathological type. Secondly, we will try to stop the excessive immune response, and if it is not carried out, it will cause more damage even to the normal cells and tissues around them. Thirdly, patients learn to adapt to the existence of immune complex with the help of some medicine both include Chinese medicine and western medicine. The following are immune adjustment, immune protection and immune clearance, which can fulfill the whole treatment.
In this way, we believe the tiredness or fatigue can be relieved.

GFR and Kidney Function Test

Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is the volume of fluid filtered from the renal glomerular capillaries into the Bowman's capsule per unit time. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) can be calculated by measuring any chemical that has a steady level in the blood, and is freely filtered but neither reabsorbed nor secreted by the kidneys. The rate therefore measured is the quantity of the substance in the urine that originated from a calculable volume of blood. In a word, GFR is used to examine the kidney function.
Calculated or measured GFR or creatinine clearance has a normal range of 90-120 ml/min. For convenience, this is referred to as 100% of kidney function. For example, if GFR is 15ml/min, that is said to represent approximately 15% of kidney function. GFR (or creatinine clearance) varies with age. There is generally a slow decrease of about 1% of GFR/year from the mid thirties. So at age 70 years, GFR on average is often only 60-70% of the normal.
When there is damage in the kidney, GRF will decrease, the level of which can also divide chronic kidney disease into 5 stages. In stage 1, GFR is more than 90 ml/min. In stage 2, GFR is between 60 to 89 ml/min. In stage 3 of chronic kidney disease, GFR is 30 to 59 ml/min. In stage 4 of chronic kidney disease, GFR is 15 to 29 ml/min. In stage 5, GFR is less than 15 ml/min.

Relation between eGFR and CKD

Some patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are confused about the relation between eGFR and CKD. As a matter of fact, eGFR equals GFR. GFR is short for glomerular filtration rate, which is the most scientific index which can test kidney function. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) describes the flow rate of filtered fluid through the kidney. In many countries, chronic kidney disease patients attach much importance to serum creatinine, considering it as an important reference. However, internationally, creatinine is not as scientific as eGFR, for serum creatinine can be influenced by many other factors such as food which they take in, exercise, and even infection such as catching a cold or flu.
According to eGFR (GFR), chronic kidney disease can be divided into 5 stages. The normal range of eGFR (GFR) is 80 to 120 mL/min/1.73m2. In addition, the index of GFR will decrease by 1 every year after persons are 40 years old. We can also say that the older we are, the lower the normal index of GFR will be.
In stage 1, the GFR is more than 90 mL/min/1.73m2.
In stage 2, the GFR is between 60 to 89 mL/min/1.73m2. In this stage, there is no symptom in clinic and the serum creatinine is also normal for the compensation ability of kidney. When there are some damaged kidney glomeruli, other heathy ones will do more work to finish the filtration. So the level of serum creatinine is normal in this stage. We can also say that, this stage is compensation stage.
In stage 3, the GFR is between 30 to 59 mL/min/1.73m2. This stage can also be called discompensation stage for the healthy kidney glomeruli will also be damaged due to long time excessive work.
In stage 4, the GFR is between 15 to 29 mL/min/1.73m2. At this time, patients come into renal failure stage, which indicates the function of kidney become to decline.
In stage 5, the GFR is less than 15, which means that patients with chronic kidney disease have come into uremia stage, or advanced stage of renal failure.

What Are the Treatment Options for Stage 4 Kidney Disease

In stage 4 kidney disease, GFR falls to 15~29 ml/min. The normal range is 80 to120. Serum creatinine rises to 442-707umol/L. The normal range of GFR is 80 to 120 ml/min. Serum creatinine’s normal range is 44 to 103 umol/l. In China, serum creatinine is a very valuable reference on the diagnosis of the kidney disease for serum creatinine is a kind of small molecule metabolism waste, which is toxic and should have been discharged out of the body through renal glomerular basilar membrane into urine. However, due to failed kidney, creatinine accumulates into the body, which damages the body if it lasts for a long time.
Symptoms in stage 4 are such as fatigue, poor appetite, slight anemia. Patients can also suffer from high blood pressure, the less absorption of calcium, etc.
1. dialysis
In this stage, patients mostly have chosen dialysis or are going to choose dialysis. Indeed, in the world, most kidney disease patients will choose dialysis as long as the serum creatinine is as high as 445 umol/L. diabetic kidney disease patients will take dialysis as long as the creatinine is 300 umol/L. Long time dialysis cannot treat kidney disease by repairing damaged intrinsic cells and can make patients can not get rid of dialysis.
2. kidney transplant
Kidney transplant will be the ultimate choose for many kidney disease patients, which can help relieve for the time being indeed but also has disadvantages. For example, donated kidney is hard to get, patients will take medicine for the whole life on anti-resistance, kidney transplant has risk, transplanted kidney will also suffer from the deposition of immune complex, etc.
3. immunotherapy
As we mentioned in the second point, most kidney diseases are caused by immune disorder, which indicates that only when we clear away the immune complex and adjust the immune system, can our kidney disease get recover. On the basis of this, in our Hospital, we researched immunotherapy which can solve these problems. It is a combination therapy which combines Chinese medicine and western medicine such as Chinese Medicine and stem cell. It can not only repair the damaged intrinsic cells and differentiate into the dead ones as well as enhance the immunity, thus treating kidney disease from root.

What Can Worsen the Nephritis?

Nephritis is the main cause of the uremia. If the Nephritis can not be cured in time or can not be cured properly, the renal function will descend, and the disease may deteriorate into uremia. So, to prevent uremia, we should prevent the factors which can worsen the disease from happening. Then, what can influence the Nephritis?
Patients with chronic nephritis should pay more attention to the following aspects:
1. avoid excessive labor. It includes serious physical work, strenuous exercise, working late, and sexual overstrain. All the above-mentioned can worsen the chronic nephritis.
2. Bacteria infection or virus infection. Infection is the most common factor which can worsen the Nephritis, especially the infection of the upper respiratory tract, (common cold), asymptomatic bacteriuria, flu, pharyngitis, trachitis, and bronchitis.
3.Stressful state It means the stress response to the overload acceptance, such as sudden gastrointestinal hemorrhage，serious gastroenteritis, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, low blood pressure and allergic shock, etc. It mainly refers to the fact that the adrenal cortex adjusts the adrenocortical hormone suddenly to the sudden stimulation. A variety of stressful state can worsen the chronic Nephritis.
The application of drugs, such as amino, gentamicin, kanamycin, and streptomycin.
5. Other factors: such as fluid and electrolyte imbalance, disturbance of acid-base balance can also worsen the Nephritis. Due to the above-mentioned reasons, the following symptoms will appear in one day or several days: proteinuria, more blood urine, edema, high blood pressure, oliguria, even renal insufficiency.
If cured timely, most patients can recover. But some patients become more and more serious, even suffer renal failure. So we should pay more attention to the factors.
As for uremia, chronic nephritis is the main culprit, which accounts for 55.7%. To prevent uremia, it is very important to stop the progressive renal damage. What’s more, when the chronic nephritis is being consolidated, we should try to avoid catching a cold, flu, labor, toxic drugs, and so on. Only in this way, can the Nephritis be controlled.

How to Treat Chronic Interstitial Nephritis?

Chronic interstitial area is the opposite name of renal parenchyma. In interstitial area, there are many loose connective tissues. The matrix here is rich. Loose connective tissues may lead to renal fibrosis easily. On the other hand, nephritis means that the damage in the kidney is not serious and patients do not come into uremia stage. In kidney, there is only immune reaction. And in clinic, there can be symptoms such as proteinuria, hematuria for immune reaction will damage the kidney intrinsic cells.
However, do not worry and as long as we use proper treatment, we can treat chronic interstitial nephritis well. In our Hospital, we mainly use immunotherapy, which includes Chinese Medicine and stem cell as well as some blood purification methods.
Firstly, blood purification such as dialysis, filtration, plasma exchange can clear away the toxins such as creatinine, urea acid, urea nitrogen, immune complex, etc, which can relieve the burden of the kidney, and supply a good and cleaner inner environment for the next repair step.
Secondly, Chinese Medicine contains nutritious and active herbs, which can extend blood circulation, improve blood circulation, including micro-blood circulation, dissolve the blood stasis, relieve the insufficiency of blood and oxygen in the kidney, thus repairing the damaged interstitial cells. Chinese Medicine is a natural herbal therapy applied externally on acupoint of lower back (kidney area). The herbal medicine is micronized into ten thousandths of its original size. 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 and channels.
In addition, stem cell can also be applied if necessary, which can help repair interstitial cells and increase the immunity as well.

What Herbs Are Good for Chronic Glomerulonephritis

After trying kinds of western medicine such as hormone and immunosuppressive agents, more and more patients with chronic glomerulonephritis are more interested in herbs considering the little side effect compared with western medicine.
As a matter of fact, there are many Chinese prescriptions for the treatment of chronic glomerulonephritis. Here is a prescription:
The herbs: leonurus, isatis root, cogongrass rhizome, plantain, radix sophorae flavescentis, radix sophorae flavescentis, root of common peony.
The dosage: 50g per kind
Procedure: After boiling them with water, we can pour the herbs together with the sediment into a basin so that the liquid can soak the feet. Patients with chronic glomerulonephritis have this soaking twice every day, each time of which lasts for 20 to 30 minutes. Remember that the temperature should be moderate, so as to avoid being burned. If the liquid medicine is too cold, it will cause catching a cold or flu. The main function of this prescription is to promote the blood circulation and dissolve the stasis.
However, every coin has two sides, and this medicine prescription is no exception. Firstly, patients with chronic glomerulonephritis should go to drug store to buy these herbs. Secondly, after buying them, they will boil them, which will cost time. Thirdly, in the process of boiling, some medicine will not be made use of effectively. The use ratio will be declined.
How to solve the problem? After years of trial and error, doctors in our Hospital created Chinese Medicine. Compared with the above mentioned traditional Chinese medicine, it has the following advantages:
Firstly, it has a micro process, which means that the use ratio will be increased. The place where patients take this medicine is the back. Through osmosis, the effective medicine comes into the renal area, which avoids the waste.
Secondly, patients needn’t go to drug store, buy them, boil them, which saves a lot of time.
Thirdly, Chinese Medicine contains a large number of herbs, which contains much nutritious things. After application of Chinese Medicine, patients with chronic glomerulonephritis will feel warm and even hot especially in the feet center or palm center. They may even sweat. All of these proved thatChinese Medicine can improve the blood circulation and dissolve the stasis, which can repair the damaged intrinsic cells and rebuild normal renal function.

Four Main Symptoms of Nephrotic Syndrome

Generally, there are four main symptoms for patients with nephrotic syndrome, which go as follows: large protein in urine(>3.5g/24h); hypoproteinemia (seralbumin<30g); obvious edema; hyperlipidaemia. Among the four mentioned items, the first one is essential factor which can cause other following ones.
1. a large amount of proteinuria
A large amount of proteinuria indicates that the filtration membrane have been damaged. As we mentioned in the premier articles, from outside to inside, renal filtration membrane can be divided into renal capillary endothelial cell, basilar membrane, epithelial cell, and so on. In all of them, there are pores, the diameter of which makes only small molecules pass. When the pores of them change, protein will leak out, thus causing proteinuria.
2. hypoproteinemia
The decline of serum albumin is the result of proteinuria. In clinic, there are also some cases that patients have a large amount of protein in urine but their hypoalbuminemia is slight. Such patients are usually secondary focal segmental sclerosis instead of primary kidney disease such as primary membrane kidney disease or minimal change kidney disease. In addition, patients with Nephrotic Syndrome can also have decreased appetite, insufficiency of protein intake, poor absorption, and so on, which is caused by edema in mucous membrane of gastrointestinal tract. In addition, researchers find out that patients also lost albumin in the stomach and guts, which is also a factor which can worsen hypoproteinemia( low protein in plasma).
3. edema or swelling
Patients with Nephrotic Syndrome have different degree of edema or swelling. Generally, the retention of sodium and water as well as low protein in blood will lead to the change of osmotic pressure, thus causing edema or swelling. There is also another theory to explain why there is edema or swelling.
When patients are suffering from edema, the concentration of protein in plasma will decrease and the plasma osmotic pressure will decrease as well. Liquid flows towards where there is high protein, thus causing edema or swelling in clinic and we can say that protein which is lost in urine causes a series of symptoms such as low protein in plasma and edema in the body.
4. hyperlipidaemia
Hyperlipidaemia means that the concentration of lipoprotein is abnormal. When patients are suffering from hyperlipidaemia, the elements of all kinds of lipoproteins will increase.
If such symptoms last for a long time, patients will become serious, thus even causing renal failure. Therefore, we should take effective measures to treat it. In our hospital, we have researched out Chinese Medicine and stem cell transplant, which are also part of immunotherapy in our hospital. For more information, please consult us online or email us.

Complications of Nephrotic Syndrome in Clinic

Nephrotic syndrome is a kidney disorder that causes your body to excrete too much protein in his urine due to the damaged renal glomerular basilar membrane is damaged. Nephrotic syndrome is usually caused by damage to the clusters of small blood vessels in his kidneys that filter waste and excess water from your blood. When healthy, these vessels keep blood protein from seeping into your urine and out of his body. When damaged, they don't perform this function effectively, and protein can leak out of his blood and lead to swelling all over the body (edema). If not treated well, complications will come into being which includes:
1. Blood clots.
The inability of the glomeruli to filter blood properly can lead to loss of blood proteins that help prevent clotting. This increases your risk of developing a blood clot (thrombus) in your veins.
2. High blood cholesterol and elevated blood triglycerides.
When the level of the protein albumin in your blood falls, your liver makes more albumin. At the same time, your liver releases more cholesterol and triglycerides.
3. Poor nutrition.
Loss of too much blood protein can result in malnutrition. This can lead to weight loss, but it may be masked by swelling.
4. High blood pressure.
Damage to your glomeruli and the resulting buildup of wastes in your bloodstream (uremia) can raise your blood pressure.
5. Acute kidney failure.
If your kidneys lose their ability to filter blood due to damage to the glomeruli, waste products may build up quickly in your blood. If this happens, you may need emergency dialysis — an artificial means of removing extra fluids and waste from your blood — typically with an artificial kidney machine (dialyzer).
6. Chronic kidney failure.
Nephrotic syndrome may cause your kidneys to gradually lose their function over time. If kidney function falls low enough, you may require dialysis or a kidney transplant.
7. Infections.
People with nephrotic syndrome have an increased risk of infections.
Considering all these, effective treatment is so critical which can prevent the above complication. For the treatment of nephrotic syndrome, Chinese Medicine is applied, which can repair the damaged cells in the kidney, which can repair the damaged renal glomerular basilar membrane, thus stopping the leaking out of protein into urine and treating nephrotic syndrome fundamentally.

Suggestions for Edema (Swelling) of Nephrotic Syndrome

Edema (Swelling), as we know, is a prevalent symptom in children patients with Nephrotic Syndrome, which closely follows high protein in urine, low protein in plasma and high fat in blood and so on.
Cause
The main cause of Nephrotic Syndrome is low protein in the blood or plasma, which is also called hypoproteinemia. When patients are suffering from Nephrotic Syndrome, the permeability of renal glomerular basilar membrane increases, which leads to the leaking out of a large amount of protein into urine. In this case, the concentration of protein in plasma will decrease and the plasma osmotic pressure will decrease as well. Liquid flows towards where there is high protein, thus causing edema or swelling. Protein is an important substance which maintains plasma osmotic pressure. Liquid flows towards a higher place, absorb water and then expand, thus causing edema or swelling.
Suggestions
When patients have had edema or swelling, children patients are suggested to pay attention to the following aspects according the principle we mentioned in the above.
1. Make a record about the body weight and abdominal girth. In addition, have more than 2 times of urine test a week and observe the physical condition.
2. Have enough rest, especially for those with severe edema and high blood pressure. For those whose disease is slight, it is not necessary to limit the activities. Parents can arrange some entertainment for their children to make them keep happy.
3. As for the diet, patients with Nephrotic Syndrome should make sure to take in enough heat. Generally, for protein, the intake can be controlled in 2g per kg. For those who have severe edema, patients should limit the intake of salt.
4. Take care of skin and keep skin clean and dry. Avoid being pressed or scratched. Remember to turn over. The quit should be soft as well.
5. Avoid injection from muscle for it can lead to the retention of medicine, malabsorption or exosmosis from pore of needle. If we must take injection from muscle, we can press it for a longer time so as to prevent exosmosis.
In addition to the above mentioned, patients with Nephrotic Syndrome should also take effective treatment, which can assure the effect of diminishing edema or swelling. In our Hospital, we have Chinese Medicine, which is one part of immune treatment. For more information, please consult us or leave a message.

A New Breakthrough of FSGS Treatment

FSGS is short for Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis, which reflects the damage in the renal glomerulus. Due to the immune reaction caused by immune complex deposition, the damage in the kidney glomerulus are really serious gradually. The sclerosis will take place partially in the renal glomerulus. In this case, the blood and oxygen in the kidney will be insufficient, which in turn worsen damage in the kidney. In FSGS stage, quiet a few patients are under dialysis, which many people have realize that can not treat from root and with time passing by, patients may can not get rid of dialysis. Is there a new breakthrough of FSGS treatment?
The combination therapy of both western medicine and Chinese herbs will give a turn in the progressing of FSGS and make a breakthrough.
As we know, in many countries, kinds of hormones and immunosuppressive agents are applied, which can control the immune reaction in the kidney and diminish the symptoms. However, immune complex still exist in the kidney, which will lead to continuous reaction. Especially after infection, a lot of immune complex will appear, which causes symptom to appear once more.
So if we want to make a new breakthrough, we should enhance the immune ability as well as clear away the immune complex. To achieve this, Chinese Medicine can take effects, which is partial immunotherapy in our Hospital.
Firstly, it can help extend the blood vessels especially the micro-blood vessels, in which case, the Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis can be relieved for the nutritious herbs can supply more oxygen and nutrition to the renal glomerulus. At this moment, the damaged cells can be repaired to some extent.
On the other hand, in Chinese Medicine, there are herbs which can enhance the immunity of patients with FSGS. In this case, our body gains ability to clear away the immune complex in the kidney. Even in the later time, infection invades, the immune system cells can defeat the bacteria and virus, etc, which can prevent the relapse of symptoms such as hematuria and proteinuria, etc.

How to Treat FSGS with Stem Cells and Herbs

FSGS is severe compared with other kidney diseases, because it is the damage of the basement membrane of the glomerular and its progress is fast.
The main cause of FSGS is that glomerular epithelia is injured. Due to low immunity, infections, colds, or other reasons, antigen invades into patients’ body, and combines with antibody, then producing immune complex, these immune complex will deposit on renal epithelia cells, which will lead to damage of the renal epithelia cells and cause inflammation, and the barrier function of renal epithelia cells will weaken, leading to the leakage of large amounts of protein. Besides, the damaged renal epithelia cells start renal fibrosis, renal fibrosis will make the kidneys damaged further. So if we want to treat FSGS thoroughly, we must repair the damaged renal epithelia cells, protect them from being damaged again, and block renal fibrosis to protect kidneys from damaged.
Lots of patients only take some western medicines to control the symptoms, but not to treat the disease root, not to repair the damaged cells, that's why the disease can't cure with such medicines. Western medicines is necessary, and a must for the patients to control the disease condition, but they can be taken as a complementary therapy.
We suggest that not only take medicines, but also take some repairing treatment. IF it can't be prevented from further developing, it will finally develop into kidney failure.
Our hospital use the combination treatment of Chinese Medicine and stem cell transplant together, which is better than just one single treatment.
But the treatment need you to come to China, and stay about one monthbecause the stem cells and the Chinese medicine need to be cultured and prescribed according to the patient's exact conditions.

Illness Associated with FSGS among Children

FSGS is short for focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, which is a common primary renal glomerular disease. It is a type of nephrotic syndrome either in adults or in children. The characteristic of histopathology is renal segmental scar, with or without adhesion in renal glomerular capillaries. Focal means that there are less than 50% of renal glomeruli which are influenced. Segmental means that there are partial leaflets are influenced. Glomerulosclerosis means that the whole renal glomeruli show hyaline change or scar. So from the above, we can get a conclusion that there are still healthy renal glomeruli in this stage. On the other hand, if we do not take effective measures, the condition will also deteriorate and illness associated with FSGS will take place. Next, we will mainly introduce illness associated with FSGS among children, which is a concern of parents.
Firstly, infection, lost protein, malnutrition, and disorder of immune function, which is connected with the application of glucocorticoid. Infection is the common complication or infection of FSGS. Due to the complication of glucocorticoid, the clinical manifestation of infection is not obvious. Although there are kinds of alternative antibiotics, if the treatment is not fundamental, infection will still be the main reason why FSGS recurs.
Secondly, thrombosis and embolism are also illness associated with FSGS in children. The concentration of blood leads to the viscosity of blood, thus causing thromnosis and embolism. In addition, because protein is lost and increased protein produced in liver, the organic blood coagulation, anticoagulation system are out of order. In this case, thrombosis and embolism takes place easily.
Thirdly, acute renal failure is another illness associated with FSGS in children. The insufficiency of blood content leads to the decline of renal blood flow, which leads to the prerenal azotemia. This leads to edema, which causes the rapid decrease of renal glomerular filtration, thus causing acute renal failure.
Fourthly, long time lost of protein and disorder of fat metabolism will lead to malnutrition, slow growth of children, and so on.
Considering this, FSGS patients should take effective therapeutic measures to prevent the above illness which is associated with FSGS in children. In FSGS stage, patients should apply the stem cell transplant as well as Chinese Medicine, for there have been necrotic intrinsic cells in the kidney.

How to Treat type 2 Diabetes

However, different from type 1 Diabetes, Type 2 Diabetes patients have enough insulin, but they only have 40-50% Insulin Function comparing with healthy people. It is because the insufficiency of insulin receptor that insulin can not make full effects.
Eating habits, life style, family history and so on are the main reasons for your Diabetes, so scientific life style and exercise and diet can help treating the disease.
The medicines for Type 2 Diabetes mainly at stimulating pancreas islet to secrete insulin instead of improving insulin function, so the disease can not be treated completely, patients will have many complications.
So the right treatment should be improve Insulin Function and Cells Therapy has the function. Generally speaking, stem cells can generate new pancreas islet cells which can replace the disable β-cells and producing the insulin with enough insulin receptor , thus recovering insulin function. In addition, Diabetes is also an autoimmunity disease, NK-cells and T-reg cells can adjust the immunity, thus protecting the β-cells avoid the dam
How does stem cell treat diabetes type 2? The mechanism goes as follows: 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.

Microalbuminuria May be a sign of Kidney Damage in Diabetes

Long time high blood glucose in diabetes patients will lead to the dense of blood, which blocks the blood circulation especially the micro-blood circulation including micro-blood circulation in the kidney, which leads to the insufficiency of blood and oxygen in the kidney, thus causing kidney damage if it lasts for a long time.
Generally after about 10 years or more, diabetes patients may find out that there is protein in urine, (the urine has foam, which does not appear for a long time) and went to hospital, then are told that that there has been damage in the kidney which is called diabetic kidney disease or diabetic nephropathy. In this case, GFR has declined and serum creatinine has already risen, which means that the damage in the kidney has already relatively serious.
In contrast, microalbumin in urine is an index which indicates the damage in the kidney earlier. In normal condition, there is only a slight amount of albumin in urine which is less than 20mg/L in a day. When the albumin level is above the normal range, the urine is called microalbuminuria which is a sensitive index in reflecting early kidney damage in Diabetes. Therefore, besides monitoring blood sugar, blood pressure, the patients should be particularly alert to the albumin in urine so as to find out the damage early and take treatment in time.
Even that there is damage in the kidney, diabetes patients should not panic for there is therapy can help you recover. Stem cell is considered to be the priority in the world till now which can treat both diabetes and kidney disorder. After stem cells are injected into patients’ body, they will differentiate like seed, which will grow in kinds of tissues. A certain amount of autologous stem cell will differentiate into cells which can replace the damaged pancreas islet B cells and secrete insulin once again, thus treating diabetes. It can also differentiate into kidney cells which has been necrotic thus treating kidney damage.

Latest Therapy for Type 1 Diabetes with Stem Cell and Herbs

The pathology of Diabetes type 1 is absolutely inadequate secretion of insulin due to the damage to islet cells. The causes of it include hereditary factor and environment factor which cause immune disorder. The abormal immune response will cause damage to islet cells.
Type 1 diabetes differs to type 2 diabetes in that high blood sugar level is caused by absolute insufficiency of insulin within blood. And this is mainly caused by immune attack to beta cells. Type 1 Diabetes is an autoimmune disease and disordered immunity attacks Beta cells and lead to damage and apoptosis of beta cells. So with time going on, the C-Peptide will further decline and the situation of absolute insufficiency of insulin will become even serious.
In order to treatment this disease, we should first repair the damaged islet cells and at the same time, regulate the immune system. Stem cell treatment can achieve this purpose. Stem cells are the most primary cells of the human body. After transfused into the patients' body, these stem cells can differentiate into various functional cells needed. The stem cells can differentiate into new islet cells and replace the dead ones, thus recovering the islet function. T-reg cells can help regulate the immune system and stop the attack to healthy islet cells, thus protecting the remaining islet function. After the treatment, the dose of insulin injection can be reduced significantly and some patients can even stop insulin.
Stem cells can differentiate into Beta cells to increase the function of pancreas islet, Chinese treatment works on providing a favorable internal environment for the growth of stem cells and together with T-reg cells therapy to regulate the disorder of immunity to block further damage to pancreas islet.
Chinese medicine in treating Diabetes can be regarded as safeguard. The active material of Chinese medicine like Islet activating element, Islet cell adjustment factor, Pancreatic activated enzyme, plant active protein and so on can be lead to the patient's body under the action of electromagnetic field. These factors can activate and repair the resistance factor of insulin and lower its sensitivity. In this way, the insulin receptor will be more sensitive to the insulin and the islet function will be recovered. Chinese Medicine can clean the internal environment of the human body and release the state of Metabolic Disorders. By expanding the blood vessels and removing blood stasis, micro-Chinese medicine can improve the microcirculation at the lesions and block insulin resistance.The active materials in Chinese medicine can also prevent Cardiac Cerebral and Vascular Diseases by blocking LDL, especially the lipid peroxidation damage to targeted cells.

What's the Difference Between Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes?

Patients who are diagnosed with diabetes want to know the differences between type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes. Actually, there are many differences between them, which goes as follows：
1. The pathological mechanism is different. Type 1 diabetes is caused by the damaged beta cell. The insulin is in complete insufficiency. Most of them are autoimmune disease. Type 2 diabetes is caused by not enough secretion of insulin.
2. There is also difference on such as age when patients have it, symptoms, and so on. For example, type 1 diabetes usually shows symptoms before 25 years old, and a few can have symptoms after 25. Type 2 diabetes in most of time take place after people are 40 years old or older than this age. In recent years, the patients tend to be younger.
3. Most type 1 diabetes patients have obvious symptoms such as increased thirst, increased urine, increased hunger and obvious decreased body weight. For type 2 diabetes, the symptoms are not obvious and most patients are fat.
4. The treatment between type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes is also different. For type 1 diabetes, patients must inject insulin. Only in this way, can high blood pressure be controlled. For type 2 diabetes, patients can get effective effects by the diet control and taking in medicine orally which can lower blood sugar.
5. Type 1 diabetes patients are more likely to have DKA, and have kidney disease and retinopathy earlier. In contrast, type 2 diabetes are more likely to have coronary heart disease and cerebrovascularaccident.

How I can Control Type 2 Diabetes

How can I control type 2 diabetes? Diabetes is caused by a problem in the way your body makes or uses insulin. Insulin is needed to move blood sugar (glucose) into cells, where it is stored and later used for energy. When people have type 2 diabetes, fat, liver, and muscle cells do not respond correctly to insulin. This is called insulin resistance. As a result, blood sugar does not get into these cells to be stored for energy. When sugar cannot enter cells, high levels of sugar build up in the blood. This is called hyperglycemia.
From the above, we can get some principles for the control of type 2 diabetes.
1. We can take in some oral medicine which can stimulate the secretion of insulin, but in the late stage, patients still need to take insulin treatment as type 1 diabetes.
2. Patients should take in medicine which can lower blood sugar for the time being.
3. Repairing the damaged intrinsic beta cells is the fundamental aim of the treatment. Stem cell is considered to be the best therapy in the world till now. The mechanism goes as follows: 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.
4. Exercise is also quite important. Excess body weight around the waist increase your risk, which can make beta cells more tired and worsen type 2 diabetes. Exercise in which your heart beats faster and you breathe faster helps lower your blood sugar level without medication. It also burns extra calories and fat so you can manage your weight.
Exercise can help your health by improving blood flow and blood pressure. Exercise also increases the body's energy level, lowers tension, and improves your ability to handle stress.

Immunopathogenesis of Idiopathic Nephrotic Syndrome

Idiopathic Nephrotic Syndrome is a kind of Nephrotic Syndrome, which takes place in some babies. Usually, symptoms of Idiopathic Nephrotic Syndrome appear three to six months after they are born. It also has four characteristics of Idiopathic Nephrotic Syndrome such as a large amount of protein in urine, which is more than 3.5g per 24 hours, low proteinuria, the albumin in the plasma is less than 3g /L, edema or swelling, hyperlipidaemia.
Types of Nephrotic Syndrome
To understand the Idiopathic Nephrotic Syndrome and distinguish it from other types of Nephrotic Syndrome such as Lupus Nephritis, it is necessary to make a classification here.
1. primary Nephrotic Syndrome
Primary Nephrotic Syndrome is a kind of kidney disease which is caused by the damage of kidney itself, which accounts for more than 90% of all the Nephrotic Syndrome.
2. Secondary Nephrotic Syndrome
Secondary Nephrotic Syndrome is caused by other factors such as lupus, purpura, and so on. The manifestations are such as Purpura Nephritis, Lupus Nephritis, and so on.
3. Idiopathic Nephrotic Syndrome
Idiopathic Nephrotic Syndrome is always related to the genetic factors.
Pathological reasons
1. immune response
As we mentioned in the premier articles, most kidney diseases are caused by disorder of immune response. The deposition of immune complex leads to symptoms.
2. inflammatory response
pathological factors such as virus and bacteria from outside invades kidney, leading to inflammatory reaction. In this case, the permeability of renal glomerular filtration is damaged, thus causing a series of protein leaking out.
The prognosis of Idiopathic Nephrotic Syndrome is bad. Some baby aging 6 months to 1 year die from infection. Some aging from 2 to 3 years old die from uremia. So some people take kidney transplant after they are 2 years old.
Treatment
In our hospital, after years of trial and error, and after bring in the most advanced technology in the kidney treatment in the world, the experts researched out a new therapy which is called immune therapy. It can be divided into 6 steps: scientific diagnosis, immune inhibition with brand new medicine, immune tolerance, immune adjustment with stem cell and Chinese Medicine, immune protection and immune clearance.

Pediatric Nephrotic Syndrome from Simple to Complex

90% of Nephrotic Syndrome patients are children, so there appears a term called Pediatric Nephrotic Syndrome. Pediatric Nephrotic Syndrome is mostly primary one, the main pathological change is the increased permeability of renal glomerular basilar filtration membrane. The manifestations in clinic are a large amount of proteinuria, which is more than 3.5g per 24 hours, hypoproteinemia, the protein in the plasma is less than 30g/L, edema and hyperlipidaemia.
Why does Pediatric Nephrotic Syndrom develop from the simple to the Complex? When it comes to this, we should start from the treatment, the recurrence, and the complications.
1. The treatment for Pediatric Nephrotic Syndrome in most countries is the application of hormone. Long time application of hormone can lead to the reliance of hormone, thus making Pediatric Nephrotic Syndrome into refractory one, which is more difficult to treat. Refractory Nephrotic Syndrome is one indication of renal biopsy, which can give a confirmed diagnosis for the pathological type, the degree of kidney lesion, as well as supply instruction of medication. In the period of using hormone, children may have pain in the back, which is accompanied by hematuria, increased high blood pressure, severer edema or declined renal function, indicating the deterioration of renal function and the forming of thrombosis.
2. Recurrence is also a factor which can make the Pediatric Nephrotic Syndrome from the simple one to the complex one. In most of the time, recurrence happens as a result of infection. And the infection can be divided into the following cases: firstly, the insufficiency of immune function of cells and the complement system can lead to recurrence. Secondly, long time using of immunosuppressive agent and cortical hormone can also lead to the recurrence of Pediatric Nephrotic Syndrome much easiler. Thirdly, fluid immune function decline is also a factor. Last but not least, malnutrition of protein, edema can also lead to the partial circulation barrier, thus causing edema
3. The complication is also an important factor which can make Pediatric Nephrotic Syndrome from the simple one to the complex one.It is the main reason why children with Pediatric Nephrotic Syndrome die.
From the above, we can get a conclusion that Pediatric Nephrotic Syndrome can develop from the simple one to the complex one. And among them, treatment measure plays a critical role in it. Compared with hormone and immunosuppressive agent, Chinese Medicine can treat Pediatric Nephrotic Syndrome fundamentally,for it can repair the damaged intrinsic cells as well as increase the immune ability.

How to Treat Urine Protein in Nephrotic Syndrome

Generally, people with Nephrotic Syndrome have four main or obvious symptoms which are: a large amount of proteinuria, the protein of which in 24 hours is more than 3.5g, hypoproteinemia, the protein in plasma is less than 30g /L, edema and hyperlipemia. It is the urine in protein that leads to the following 3 symptoms one by one. So urine protein is attached more and more importance, which will also lead to bad prognosis. How to treat urine protein in nephrotic syndrome?
Firstly, it is necessary to understand why there is protein in urine. In normal condition, there is only a little protein in urine and most of protein can not leak out from kidney for there are pores in the renal glomerular filtration membrane. The pore is not big and in normal condition, only small molecules can leak out such as creatinine, urea acid and urea nitrogen. However, when kidney is damaged, the pore becomes bigger, in which case, the bigger molecules such as protein, red blood cells will leak out, thus causing proteinuria and hematuria, etc. In turn, long time urine protein will worsen kidney damage in nephrotic syndrome.
From the above, we can know that we should repair the damaged intrinsic renal glomerular basilar membrane. Only in this way, can we treat urine protein in nephrotic syndrome fundamentally. In our Hospital, we have Chinese Medicine, which is from natural herbs of China and contains many active materials. After it is into patients’ body, they will improve the blood circulation, dissolve the blood stasis, thus creating a cleaner inner environment for the repair of basilar membrane. Then, the effective materials in Chinese Medicine will take effect by supplying nutrition to the damaged cells in the kidney.
In this way, we can treat urine protein in nephrotic syndrome. In addition, Chinese Medicine can also enhance the immunity of patients, which can prevent the relapse of nephrotic syndrome fundamentally.

How does Diabetes Affect Kidney?

How does diabetes affect kidney? Diabetes is a kind of disease which related to the whole body’s vessels. Kidney Disease is a complication of Diabetes. The reason why people have Diabetes is because the pancereatic islet can’t secrete the useful insulin.
There are many pancereatic islets in the pancreas, which can secrete insulin. The main function of insulin is to regulate the glycometabolism, fat metabolism and protein. Pancereatic islet produces much insulin, but the insulin can not work very well. Such as there are 10 insulin, only 2 insulin working. Therefore, pancereatic islet need to secret more and more insulins to maintain the dynaimic balance of human body.
If things go on like this, pancereatic islet will have a lot of work need to do, it will fell very tired. So pancereatic islet appear ’strike’. Lack of enough insulin, so the metabolism of sugars has become disturbed, patients have high blood sugar, and protein become distured, which related to kidneys( protein needs to metabolize by the kidneys), so your father have more protein in the kidneys, and clinical test reports show high creatinine in blood and foam in urine. It indicates that the kidney is damaged for kidney has function of discharging creatinine out of the body and preventing the protein out of the body. The foam in urine is caused by protein.
To prevent diabetes affecting kidney, we should treat diabetes in time and especially control the level of blood sugar or blood glucose. We can also take treatment measures such as injecting insulin, stem cell therapy and so on.

Which Is Suitable for Diabetics, Kidney Transplant or Stem Cell?

Which is suitable for diabetics, kidney transplant or stem cell? Most patients with long time diabetes will have diabetic kidney disease (diabetic nephropathy) if it can not be controlled well. At that time, the majority of patients want to consider kidney transplant as a priority, holding the idea that kidney transplant can give a newborn, which however also has some disadvantages.
Firstly, long time diabetes can not only influence the cardiovascular system but also influence the function of the transplanted kidney and increase the rejection rate. So patients with diabetes should control the intake of fruit especially after kidney transplant. The amount of fruit intake every day should be kept at 150g to 250g, which should not be more than 250g.
Secondly, generally, after kidney transplant, glucocorticoid is applied, which can indeed have powerful anti-inflammation and immune blocking function and can be a medicine to treat rejection. However, glucocorticoid also has side effects.
Thirdly, kidney transplant is an operation after all, which has risk and in addition, after operation, diabetes will take place again for diabetes is an immune disease. Only after we regulated the immune system, can we treat diabetic kidney disease (diabetic nephropathy) caused by diabetes from root.
How to treat? In our Hospital, on the basis of the pathological mechanism, we researched immunotherapy which includes stem cell therapy and Chinese Medicine and so on.
Therefore, on the basis of above theory, to relieve or control this condition, we need to regulate immune system, which will enable our body to recognize and use insulin. When insulin display their function in our body, blood sugar will be used effectively and consequently, blood sugar level decreases. In China, many herbal medicines are proven to be effective in regulating and improving immune system, under the action of these medicines, human immune system returns back to normal and can make full use of insulin. Stem cell can regulate immune system.
Compared with kidney transplant and stem cell, we can know which is suitable for patients with diabetes for a long time.

Creatinine Level Rises again after Kidney Transplant in Diabetes

In the end stage of diabetes ( diabetic nephropathy or diabetic kidney disease), some patients take kidney transplant for their own kidneys fail to work. It really changed the condition and patients can feel better. However, some years later, they find out that creatinine in serum rises again, which makes them confused what to do next.
To solve this problem, firstly, let’s figure out the reason why diabetes comes into being. The pathology of Diabetes type 1 is absolutely inadequate secretion of insulin due to the damage to islet cells. The causes of it include hereditary factor and environment factor which cause immune disorder. The abormal immune response will cause damage to islet cells. In contrast, type 2 diabetes is caused by the relatively insufficiency of insulin secretion. No matter which kind of diabetes, we should repair the damaged beta cells or differentiate beta cells so that insulin can be secreted normally. Only after insulin is enough, blood sugar can be transformed into energy, or else, there will be high blood sugar, which will damage kidney if it lasts for a long time. After kidney is damaged, creatinine will rise accordingly for filtrating creatinine is the work of kidneys.
However, kidney transplant can not solve this problem. How to solve the above-mentioned problem? Stem cells can solve this problem. Stem cells are the most primary cells of the human body. After transfused into the patients' body, these stem cells can differentiate into various functional cells needed. The stem cells can differentiate into new islet cells and replace the dead ones, thus recovering the islet function. T-reg cells can help regulate the immune system and stop the attack to healthy islet cells, thus protecting the remaining islet function.

What Is the Alternative Cure for Kidney Disease in Dialysis

Chronic kidney disease patients whose serum creatinine is more than 450umol/L should be under dialysis treatment according to doctor’s advice. When creatinine is more than 450umol/L, it indicates that there are toxins in the blood, which will do harm to the body if it lasts for a long time. So in most countries, patients adopt dialysis, which can help the damaged kidney discharge the toxins in the body.
However, more and more chronic kidney disease patients who are under dialysis have begin to realize the side effects it causes and the complications it brings. For example, some patients will rely on dialysis. The cost of dialysis is expensive. Dialysis will cost some time, which will influence the work consequently. Long time dialysis can also damage the other organs such as heart and lung and cause headache, nausea, vomiting, high blood pressure, and even coma, etc. What’s more, dialysis can not repair the damaged intrinsic cells, which can even delay the effective repair to the intrinsic cells.
Considering these, chronic kidney disease patients want to choose another alternative cure. Chinese Medicine and stem cell transplant can achieve it.
Firstly, patients whose creatinine is high and are under dialysis should also keep on adopting dialysis for dialysis can help discharge the toxins and create a better and cleaner environment for the application of Chinese Medicine.
Secondly, after that, patients can receive Chinese Medicine. It can relieve the insufficiency of blood and oxygen in the whole body, including the micro-blood vessels in the kidney. The, the effective materials in it will take effects and repair the damaged intrinsic cells, thus reviving the renal function.
Thirdly, if patients’ condition is more serious, for example, there are many necrotic intrinsic cells in the kidney, which leads to lost renal function, patients should also take stem cell transplant, for stem cells can differentiate into cells the kidney needs. In addition, stem cell can also increase the immune ability of human body.
In a conclusion, in most of time, combination of Chinese Medicine and stem cell transplant is applied in clinic, which can achieve better effect.

Hypertension or High Blood Pressure in Dialysis in Kidney Failure

Why is there hypertension or high blood pressure in dialysis in kidney failure patients? Hypertension or high blood pressure is a main complication in the treatment of dialysis, which often leads to heart failure and death. The statistics shows that before dialysis, about 80% to 100% uremia patients have had high blood pressure or hypertension. 87% diabetic kidney disease patients still can not control blood pressure after dialysis. Long time high blood pressure can really lead to threaten to patients.
Generally, high blood pressure or hypertension after dialysis can be divided into 2 kinds.
1. Capacity dependence high blood pressure, which usually takes place in the early stage of dialysis. Its main pathological mechanism is the retention of water and sodium, which makes the body weight increase the by 3% to 4%. There is edema, extending heart size and so on. In addition, there is also risk of heart failure. When body weight increases, blood pressure will increase accordingly.
2. Renin dependence high blood pressure, which takes place one hour after dialysis. Dialysis can lead to the decrease of body liquid, thus causing the further increase of renin activity, thus causing the deterioration of high blood pressure.

Fever and Nausea Low Blood Pressure after Dialysis

After dialysis, some renal failure patients feel nausea, vomiting, fever, low blood pressure, spasm and so on, which makes people confused and want to know the measures that they can take.
1. nausea and vomiting
If the spacing interval of dialysis is too long, patients with renal failure do not control the diet well, or low sodium and hypernatremia will lead to disorder of circulation in brain, thus causing nausea and vomiting. If the nausea and vomiting are caused by other reasons, we should choose medications.
2. fever
The most common reason for fever is heat source reaction and allergic reaction. For example, there is disinfectant and pyrogen in dialyser and cube. We can apply antibiotics or wash it clean before using it.
3. low blood pressure
Low blood pressure is mostly seen in too fast blood flow, excessive lost of water or too fast lost of water or caused by the intolerance of acetate dialysis. In this case, we can slow down the blood flow and add some liquid if necessary. For those who can not tolerate acetate, we can choose blood filtration or carbonate dialysis.
4. spasm
Spasm usually takes place in legs and feet, which can take place in the course of dialysis or at midnight. It can be caused by excessive filtration, too fast filtration and low sodium in blood. If it is caused by low sodium, patients should take in sodium if necessary.
Dialysis has so many adverse effects, which make us think over a more method. Considering this, in our Hospital, specialists researched immunotherapy, which can help patients with renal failure reduce the times of dialysis and even get off dialysis. Immunotherapy in our kidney disease hospital is a combination therapy which combines Chinese traditional medicine and herbs with western therapy such as stem cell.
You can communicate with the assistants online to tell us your specific condition such as GFR so that we can make an analysis for you.

What Causes Occult Blood in Urine for Chronic Kidney Disease

What causes occult blood in urine for chronic kidney disease? "Occult blood" simply means "hidden" blood; blood that is not visible, but is still present. Normally there is no blood in the urine. Blood can indicate an infection, kidney stones, trauma, or bleeding from a bladder or kidney tumor.
When the red blood cells are damaged, the heme in it will release, so we can test it by coupon or test paper. We can express the degree of occult blood by occult 1+, occult 2+, 3+, etc just as protein 1+ and protein 2+, etc.
Occult blood, the same as hematuria, is a sign which indicates the damage of kidney and we can not ignore. Once we find it out, we should monitor it and have examination on both blood and urine such as protein, red blood cell, creatinine, blood urea nitrogen and urea acid, etc. If proteinuria and hematuria last for 3 months, it can be diagnosed with kidney disorder or kidney disease. As for the treatment, Chinese Medicine is recommended, which is abstracted from natural herbs and can repair the damaged cells for it contains active materials and can treat occult blood from root.

What Treatment for Persistent Cough in Kidney Disease Patients

What’s the treatment for persistent cough in kidney disease patients? Cough is a kind of protective breathing reflex reaction to clear away the secretion in the respiratory tract. Cough indicates that there is inflammation in the respiratory system. Can kidney disease lead to cough? Kidney disease such as nephritis is an immune disease, which is caused by the disorder of inner environment and immune system. When the immune system is damage, the immunity will decrease in our body. At this time, if kidney disease patients suffer from fatigue, chill, the inflammation in respiratory system will take place.
In this case, kidney disease patients are suggested to take treatment which can enhance the immunity. According to this, 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.
In immune diagnosis, we can certificate the type of immune reaction, where the immune complex deposits, the amount of the immune complex, etc.
In immune clearance stage, blood purification can clear away the toxins in the kidney including immune complex in the blood, which can supply a cleaner inner environment for the treatment of kidney disease. This step is called immune clearance. We should note that the step can only clear away the immune complex in the blood and can not clear away those onto the kidney. Western medicine such as hormones and immunosuppressive agent can not achieve this, which can also explain why kidney disease patients begin to take dialysis and kidney transplant at last in many countries.
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.
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 blood purification such as dialysis can not achieve this.
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.
After these, the immunity can be enhanced and cough will decrease accordingly.

What Are Chronic Kidney Disease Symptoms

Chronic kidney disease, a general term of most kidney diseases in the world can be divided into 5 stages in clinic on the basis of GFR, which is short for glomerular filtration rate. This kind of classification is accepted by many people all around the world. In China, there is also a kind of classification on the basis of serum creatinine for chronic kidney disease which can be divided into 4 kinds: compensation stage, discompensation stage, early stage of renal failure and end stage of real failure.
From the name, we can know that in the compensation stage, serum creatinine is normal. In this stage, patients generally have no symptoms, or they can only feel weakness, soreness of the waist, and increased urine at night.
In the discompensation stage, serum creatinine is 133 to 442 umol/L. In this stage, patients feel poor appetite, slight anemia and slight acidosis.
In the early stage of renal failure, serum creatinine is 442 to 707 umol/L. In this stage, the above mentioned symptoms become more obvious.
In the advanced stage of renal failure, serum creatinine is more than 707 umol/L. In this stage, patients begin to have heart failure, high K, bleeding in digestive tract, barriers in nervous centralis, and so on, which even threatens patients’ life.
Here some people will be confused why the serum creatinine is not high in the compensation stage. It is because the compensation ability of renal glomerulus. It means that in deed, there are some damaged renal glomeruli and in this case, the serum creatinine should be high. But our other normal kidney glomeruli can do more work to replace their work. They can do more to maintain normal range of serum creatinine.
In China, kidney disease can also be called a silent disease for many patients go to hospital when they are in uremia stage for they can not feel any symptoms or discomfort in daily life. In fact, in compensation stage, there is damage and there indeed exist differences in urine such as protein in urine, microscopic hematuria, etc. So timely diagnosis is not only necessary but also critical.
People are suggested to take examinations on blood and urine at least one time every year, which can help find out the minimal symptoms in chronic kidney disease.

How to Treat Protein in Urine?

How to treat protein in urine? Usually, they control urine protein by oral medicines like hormone, tripterygium, cyclophosphamide, etc. Then, symptoms like urine protein will be improved soon, even disappear. So, they are very happy that their disease is recovered. However, after a short time, stimulated by cold, tire, and other pessimal stimulation, their urine protein appear again, what is more, their condition becomes much more serious than last time. Thereupon, they began to take hormone, tripterygium, etc again. Repeatedly like this, not only, their urine protein does not disappear completely, but also, they appear severe obesity, acne, ascitic fluid, etc.
How to treat protein in urine? In fact, to some extent, the urine protein, edema, and other symptoms are the superficial phenomenon of renal inherent cells occurring fibrosis. At present, if the patients adopt medicine for urine protein to block the hole of damaged basilar membrane. The urine protein, urine blood are controlled, but at the same time, the destructive substance and immune complex are blocked in the glomeruli as well. Then, the toxins excreted by kidneys can not be discharged, accumulating gradually, worsening illness condition.
According to the current most advanced diagnosis and treatment therapy of kidney disease, “Renal fibrosis theory”, although pathological changes causing urine protein are different in types, all they belong to the progressive process of renal fibrosis. Extracellular matrix deposits abnormally more and more, and normal renal inherent cells become less and less until disappearance completely, the disease develops into Uremia. Renal fibrosis is the root cause of renal urine protein.
In our Hospital, we treat protein in urine with Chinese Medicine. On the theory that protein leaks out through renal glomerular basilar membrane, Chinese Medicine can repair the basilar membrane by improving blood circulation, remit insufficiency of blood and oxygen and so on. Its main element is Chinese herbs which has no side effect and can also enhance the immunity, thus preventing protein in urine recurring. For more information about how to treat protein in urine, please consult us online for a further communication.

How to Cure Protein in Urine

How to cure protein in urine?Some patients with kidney disease put forward this question. In normal condition, in a normal person’s urine, there is only less protein, the maximum of which is 150mm in 24 hours. However, in kidney disease stage, there will be more protein in urine, which can be as much as more than 3.5g in 24 hours.
In clinic, especially in western countries, a large dosage of hormone is applied to diminish protein in urine, which can really take effect to some extent, however, can not treat it from root. Why? We should figure out where protein leaks out from the body. In kidney, there are nephrons which consist of renal glomerular and tubules. In renal glomerulus, there is basilar membrane, in which there is pore, through which, small molecules can leak out. When kidney is damaged, there is also damage in this basilar membrane, so protein leaks out.
From the above, we can know that to cure protein in urine effectively, we should repair it. In China, traditional herbs are famous for promoting blood circulation, dissolving the stasis in blood, and so on. After thousands of years’ development, Chinese Medicine is applied, which is more efficient and convenient and is applied through osmosis. It has all functions of traditional herbs and also contains active materials which can supply nutritious material and relieve the insufficiency of blood and oxygen, thus repairing the damaged cells in the kidney.
In our Hospital, there is also Chinese Medicine to cure protein in urine. In addition, it has been part of immunotherapy, which is systematic and can treat kidney disease on the basis of its pathological mechanism.

Nephrotic Syndrome Secondary to SLE

What shall we do to treat Nephrotic Syndrome which is Secondary to SLE (Systemic Lupus Erythematosus)? Firstly, let’s know something about Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, which is the primary disease and causes Nephrotic Syndrome. people who are suffering from Nephrotic Syndrome Secondary to SLE must be told that it is an immune disease. What is immune disease? Generally speaking, immune disease means that it is the immune system out of order that causes the disease. In normal condition, our immune system is normal, which protects us and prevents us from getting caught by the disease. In order to figure out the solution of Nephrotic Syndrome Secondary to SLE, we should know about the reason why people are caught by kidney disease and there is no doubt that Nephrotic Syndrome is a kind of renal glomerular disease, which is a big group of kidney disease.
Now let’s come back to the question again: why people suffer from kidney disease.
Patients who have been suffering from kidney disease must know about a term immune complex, which is the combination of antigen and antibody. The deposition of the immune complex on the kidney cells or kidney tissues leads to the immune response or inflammatory reaction. If the immune system is abnormal, either intrinsic immune system or spare immune system is abnormal, the immune response or inflammatory reaction will never stop. In this case, on one hand, the immune complex can not be cleared away, on the other hand, the intrinsic cells and tissues in the kidney will be damaged. So it is generally believed that the key point of kidney disease treatment is to clear away the immune complex, which leads to the immune response even too allergic immune response.
However, in the whole world, experts in kidney disease research field have not found out an effective treatment method which can clear away the immune complex thoroughly. So we have to try to stop the immune reaction. To our disappointment, in most of time, immune reaction can not stopped either. Even sometimes, the immune reaction is controlled, there is still immune complex which deposit on the kidney, leading to a new circle of immune complex. At last, people may even develop into renal failure stage.
So how should we treat immune disease on earth? In our Hospital, we have created a new method which is both based on the western technology and traditional Chinese medicine. It can be divided into 6 steps: scientific diagnosis, scientific medicine, immune tolerance, immune adjustment and immune protection and immune clearance.
From the above, we can have known about the mechanism of kidney disease. And accordingly, we can also understand the reason why Nephrotic Syndrome Secondary to SLE takes place. For more information about the six-step therapy, please consult us online.

Why do People Get Lupus Nephritis

Definition
Lupus Nephritis is a kind of kidney damage which is caused by Systematic Lupus Nephritis. Systematic Lupus Nephritis (SLE) is also a kind of immune disease. In addition, from cytology, Systematic Lupus Nephritis is a kind of renal epithelial cell disease of capillary vessels. At present, doctors judge the disease by this.
Pathological factors
After patients are infected by lupus, excessive immune response will come into being and exist, which leads to the pathological self-antibody. In this case, a large amount of immune complex comes into being. C3、lgG、lgM and so on will deposit on renal capillary epithelial cells. At this time, the immune mediator in renal capillary epithelial cells will come into being, so the normal function of renal capillary epithelial cells will be damaged as well. There are negative charges barrier in the epithelial cells. After the function is damaged, protein will pass and flow into urine, thus causing proteinuria. From the urine report, we can find out that there are pluses. Renal function will be damaged accordingly.
Treatment principle
To treat Systematic Lupus Nephritis (SLE), we should follow the following procedures.
Firstly, extending blood vessels, the purpose of which is to improve the blood circulation in the kidney, relieve the insufficiency of blood and oxygen in the blood, thus creating a favorable environment for the repair of epithelial cells and mesangial cells.
Secondly, anti-inflammation, the purpose of which is to reduce the infiltration of inflammatory cells and relieve the further damage of renal epithelial cells.
Thirdly, anticoagulation, the purpose of which is to relieve of pressure which forms thrombus and lay a foundation for the repair of epithelial cells.
Fourthly, degradation, which is used to clear the immune complex and matrix and helps them discharge out of the body.
Medicines
As for the medicine, patients with Systematic Lupus Nephritis (SLE) are recommended to take combination of western medicine and Chinese medicine, which can achieve better effect than only either of them for either western medicine or Chinese medicine has restriction. In our hospital, we have created six-step immune therapy on the basis of this theory, which can repair the damaged intrinsic cells as well as increase the immune ability.

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Common Sense

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus is an autoimmune disease, which occurs every now and then, and becomes worse and worse with the recurrence. However, patients should not be so desperate once diagnosed with SLE. The above is some common sense about what we should pay attention to.
Firstly, patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus should have confidence that one day they can get a good treatment and do not loose heart. At present, standard treatment such as immunotherapy can make sure SLE patients have normal life and work, and prolong their life to more than 20 years and even more than 35 years.
Secondly, patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus should keep stable mood and do not be nervous, which can worsen the disease.
Thirdly, if patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus are under treatment of hormone and cyclophosphamide, they should not stop using it randomly. Too suddenly increasing the amount of medicine can lead to the recurrence easily. In addition, decreasing the amount of medicine can also lead to increased side effects.
Fourthly, patients with SLE should also have regular examination in hospital. Usually, after the index shows some abnormal signs, patients start to have or feel discomfort. Regular examination is very necessary and important. Usually, for those whose condition is not stable, they should have urine test and blood test in the hospital at least once a month. If there is something abnormal, they should connect with the doctors in time so as to make sure they can get recovery soon.
Last but not least, do not believe in superstitious prescription. Some patients hold the idea that the more money they spend, the better the effect will be. SLE in the world till now is still a refractory disease, which can not be treated well easily. The main therapy for it is immunotherapy.

Why SLE Has Ankle Edema

Why do patients with SLE have ankle edema? Edema in ankle is really a common and typical symptom in patients with SLE. In addition, patients can still have edema in face or eyelids. Generally, renal edema can be caused by two factors.
On one hand, the renal glomerular filtrate rate decreases, but the absorption of water and sodium in renal tubules is normal, which leads to the retention of water and sodium, thus causing the increased permeability of the capillaries in the whole body. In this case, water retention appears in the tissue space. The above condition is usually seen in glomerular nephritis.
On the other hand, with the development of SLE, a large amount of proteinuria appears, in which protein is lost, which leads to low protein in plasma. The osmotic pressure in plasma declines, so liquid flows and edema comes into being. In this case, ankle edema will also appear accordingly.

Poor Urine output and Lupus Nephritis

Poor urine output makes Lupus Nephritis patients anxious. Do not worry. As long as we figure out the reason, we can take measures to treat it.
1. With the development of Lupus Nephritis, renal function is damaged, which makes the urine amount reduce, the diseases of which are such as acute renal glomerular nephritis, renal tumor, renal failure. If poor urine is caused by the above reasons, it indicates that the condition is serious.
2. When the blood which flows into kidney reduces, or when Lupus Nephritis patients have bleeding due to wound, shock, heart failure, and so on, patients can also suffer from renal failure, and have poor urine.
3. If Lupus Nephritis patients suffer from block of urinary tract, and patients don’t solve it in time, with time passing by, there will be water in renal pelvis, thus causing poor urine output.
Patients with Lupus Nephritis with poor urine should have a test about the serum creatinine, which is a relatively scientific index which can show how renal function is damaged. In addition, if it is convenient, patients can also have an ECT test, which is even more scientific diagnosis for patients with renal disease.
If it is caused by renal failure, we should treat it as kidney disease. In our hospital, we have immunotherapy for Lupus Nephritis is an auto-immune disease. In renal failure stage, patients have red blood cells, white blood cells and protein in urine, high blood pressure, rash and so on.
The immunotherapy can be divided into 6 steps: immune diagnosis, immune clearance, immune inhibition, immune tolerance, immune adjustment and immune protection.
Immune diagnosis can help us find out where the immune complex, the amount of immune complex, which can also supply an evidence for the treatment plan for the doctors in clinic.
Immune clearance is applied, such as blood dialysis, blood filtration, blood perfusion and plasma exchange, etc. For patients with Lupus Nephritis, they should choose plasma exchange in particular for plasma exchange can change the blood, thus clearing away the immune complex.
Immune adjustment and immune protection is operated by the application of Chinese Medicine and stem cells, etc, which can improve the blood circulation, dissolve the stasis, clear away the immune complex and increase the immunity.
After these, renal function can revive and poor urine can relieve.

Why Lupus Nephritis Patients Have Poor Urine Output

Lupus Nephritis can also be called SLE, a kind of kidney damage or kidney disorder which is caused by the spread of lupus in the body. In normal condition, people have 2000 to 2500 ml urine in 24 hours. However, for patients with Lupus Nephropathy, they can have less than 400 ml urine with 24 hours in the advanced stage of SLE, which is called poor urine.
Why does poor urine take place on patients with Lupus Nephritis? As we know, kidney has an important function: filtration. It can filtrate blood, thus causing urine every day after the reabsorption of renal tubules. After kidney is damaged, the filtration function will also be damaged accordingly, thus causing poor urine output, which usually takes place at the advanced stage of Lupus Nephropathy.
Can poor urine output be improved? Of course. Please do not worry. As long as there is urine, we can take measure to increase the renal glomerular filtration rate.
What should Lupus Nephropathy patients with poor urine do if they want to treat in our Hospital? Firstly, patients should have a systematic examination such as blood test, urine test, ECT and so on, which can show some index such as serum creatinine, GFR, etc, which can give us a general conclusion. In addition, they should also have an immune diagnosis so as to let doctors know how much the damage is, etc. Secondly, after immune diagnosis, patients with poor urine come into immune clearance stage, blood purification especially plasma exchange is applied, which can help clear away the immune complex and create a cleaner environment for the next steps. Next, patients will receive immune adjustment and immune protection, in which, Chinese Medicine and stem cells are applied, which can not only repair the damaged intrinsic cells but also increase the immunity, thus increasing GFR and dissolving poor urine output fundamentally.

The new treatment of Lupus Nephritis (Lupus kidney disease)

Just as the name implies, is caused by lupus. Lupus Nephritis is a kind of immune disease, whose damage can spread towards many other organs such as skin, joints, brain, blood, and so on. The damage spreads to kidney is called Lupus Nephritis (Lupus kidney disease). In the abroad, there are 50 cases among 100, 000 people, and in China, there are 70 cases among 100,000 people.
The term Lupus Nephritis (Lupus kidney disease) comes from Latin, medical research field. It is said that when wolfs are fighting with each other, they will bite each other on face until it bleeds. Thus, red scar will come into being. So Lupus Nephritis patients’ face is the same as that of fighted wolfs. So experts in medical field call this Lupus.
Lupus can cause damage to the tissues and organs in the whole body. Among them, kidney damage is mostly common seen. The report shows that about 80% of patients with lupus will have damage in kidney sooner or later. If they have a renal biopsy, all of them have pathological damage in kidney. Those who have been diagnosed to have protein in urine, red blood cells in urine or renal function decline can be diagnosed with Lupus Nephritis (Lupus kidney disease). The damage degree of kidney directly influenced the prognosis of lupus.
The pathological causes are not clear. In most of time, it may be caused by environmental factors such as infection of virus, the ultraviolet irradiation, medicine, and so on. Influenced by these, people who have already had genetic factors begin to have immune response. The immune function is out of order, so the body produces pathological autoantibody and immune complex continuously. Eventually, Lupus Nephritis comes into being. Normally, the organic body can produce autoantibody, which can resist with the tissues, through which, we do not suffer from disease. In other words, immune system protects us and prevents us from being caught by disease. If the immune system is out of order, disease will exist.
How should we treat Lupus Nephritis (Lupus kidney disease)? As we mentioned above, Lupus Nephritis (Lupus kidney disease) is an immune disease, so the focus of the treatment should also adjust the immune system.
The first step is systematic diagnosis, which is the premise of the treatment. If the diagnosis is not scientific, we can not assure the effect of treatment. The second step is brand new medicine. Among kidney diseases which are related to the immune, most of them are caused by immune reaction. So it is more necessary for doctors and experts to research the treatment of immune medicated kidney disease. A creative treatment which can stop the immune comes out, which can inhibit the immune inflammation response rapidly, and stop the abnormal damage of the intrinsic cells. To achieve it, firstly our treatment is based on the scientific treatment, which can tell the type of immune reaction and find out where the immune complex is. Secondly, the brand new therapy has little side effect, the technology of which is connected with the most advanced one in the world. The third step is that patients with Lupus Nephritis (Lupus kidney disease) are brought into the stage of immune tolerance. Tolerance means bearing. In other words, it means that human bodys try to adapt themselves to the deposition of pathogenic materials in the kidney. In the fourth step, patients with In the fourth step, patients with Lupus Nephritis (Lupus kidney disease) are brought into immune adjustment stage.
So patients with Lupus Nephritis (Lupus kidney disease) are not necessary to worry for there must be a hope. More information about the treatment of Lupus Nephritis (Lupus kidney disease), please consult us.

Why People Get Lupus Nephritis

People who are diagnosed with Lupus Nephritis want to know why they get this disease. Lupus Nephropathy is a kind of autoimmune vasculitis disease, which can influence more than one system and organs. The manifestation of Lupus Nephropathy varies, among which, renal glomerular epithelial cells are damaged. After that, the barrier of renal glomerulus is damaged, which leads to the leaking out of protein into urine.
The pathological mechanism of Lupus Nephritis is also complicated, which is connected with genetics, hormone, environment, medicine, food, and so on. Generally, the pathological factors can be divided into the following three aspects.
Firstly, patients lack complement, disorder of hormone or genetic factors.
Secondly, in daily life, patients get infected carelessly or eat something wrong, or take in medicine which is not suitable, touch toxic things or have more UVB, and so on.
Thirdly, genetic factors and environmental factors interact each other, which leads to more abnormal immune reaction and the occurrence of SLE, thus damaging kidney organs.
Patients with Lupus Nephropathy have red blood cells, white blood cells and protein in urine, high blood pressure. In addition, patients can also have symptoms in gastrointestinal tract, which are such as nausea, abdominal pain, liver or spleen becoming bigger account for 30-40%.
So many sufferings torture Lupus Nephropathy patients. But please do not worry. We have effective treatment measures to treat it.
On the basis that it is an autoimmune disease, we created immunotherapy, which can not only control the condition but also help repair the damaged intrinsic cells and increased immune ability. It can be divided into 6 steps: immune diagnosis, immune clearance, immune inhibition, immune tolerance, immune adjustment and immune protection. 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 and critical blood purification method is the plasma exchange, which can supply a good condition for the following treatment.

What Is Chinese Medicine Treatment for Membranous Nephropathy

Membranous Nephropathy can also be called Membranous renal gloemerular nephritis, the name of which is on the basis of renal biopsy. Membranous nephropathy is a kidney disorder that leads to changes and inflammation of the structures inside the kidney that help filter wastes and fluids. The inflammation may lead to problems with kidney function.
Membranous nephropathy is caused by the thickening of part of the glomerular basement membrane. The glomerular basement membrane is a part of the kidneys that helps filter waste and extra fluid from the blood. The thicker glomerular membrane does not work normally. Large amounts of protein are lost in the urine as a result. When other symptoms follow, such as edema, hypoalbuminemia and hyperlipidaemia, it will be called nephrotic syndrome.
How to treat Membranous Nephropathy fundamentally? As we mentioned above, the thickened and then damaged glomerular basement membrane. With the immune complex deposits there, the permeability of renal glomerular membrane increased, which leads to the leaking out of proteins. So in this case, we should use Chinese medicine which can not only repair the damaged intrinsic cells but also clear away the immune complex and increase the immunity of the body.
Firstly, in Chinese medicine or Chinese Medicine, which is the specific therapy, there are active and nutritious herbs which can promote the blood circulation, dissolve the stasis in the blood, improve the micro-blood circulation, discharge the toxins such as creatinine, etc, which can decrease the permeability of renal glomerular membrane, thus stopping the leaking out of protein.
Secondly, Chinese Medicine, there are also many active substances or herbs which can clear away the immune complex which deposits onto the renal glomerular membrane, repair the damaged intrinsic cells and increase the immunity at the same time.
This is about the Chinese medicine for Membranous Nephropathy.

Stage 3 Kidney Disease Life Expectancy

Internationally, doctors judge the damage degree of kidney disease by GFR( glomerular filtration rate) besides serum creatine. According to GFR( glomerular filtration rate), CKD(Chronic Kidney Disease) can be divided into five stages. The normal range of GFR( glomerular filtration rate) is 80 to 120 ml/(min•1.73㎡), which shows the volumn of blood which flows into kidney per minute. GFR is a very scientific index which indicates how kidney is damaged and in other words, it shows how the renal function is.
In the first stage, GFR is normal or high, which is more than 90 ml/(min•1.73㎡). Patients may have no symptoms because of the strong ability of compensation of the kidney.
In the second stage, GFR declines to 60～90ml/(min•1.73㎡). In the third stage, GFR declines to 30～59ml/(min•1.73㎡). Patients fall into renal failure stage based on Chinese traditional standard. The serum creatinine rises to 442 to 707μmol/L(5～8mg/dl). The creatinine clearance rate declines to 20 to 10 ml/min. BUN ( blood urea nitrogen) increased to 179～286mmol/L(50～80mg/dl).
In the fourth stage, GFR declines to 15 to 29 ml/(min•1.73㎡). The fifth stage of CKD is that GFR declines to less than ml/(min•1.73㎡). We can also say that patients develop into uremia stage. They can suffer from symptoms in nerve system, digestive system, blood system, and so on.
Patients with CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease) Stage 3 can also have some symptoms. They will suffer from anemia, balance disorders of water, electrolyte and acid-base. Suffering from these, patients with CKD(Chronic Kidney Disease) Stage 3 even loose confidence.
So patients with CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease) Stage 3 want to know life expectancy. How long will I live? Is the future fearful really? Absolutely not. Experts in kidney disease field point out that in most time, patients with CKD(Chronic Kidney Disease) Stage 3 can not receive scientific treatment and the medicine just focus on the symptoms such as hormone, immunosuppressive agent. They focus on dimishing the symptoms and once patients with CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease) Stage 3 have got an infection such as cold, symptoms will recur again. What’s worse, it makes patients depressed and even hopeless. But do not worry because there is also a new therapy which maybe you have not heard of it before but it really can bring you new hope.
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 and prevent proteins and red blood cells, etc from leaking out fundamentally. After more than one months’ treatment in hospital, patients with CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease) Stage 3 should apply Chinese Medicine for another more than 3 months to consolidate the effect. So the total treatment may take 4 months.
So there is no need to worry. In stage 3, the damage in kidney is not so serious. In other words, it can be treated well as long as the treatment is effective and timely.
If you still have any other questions about Chinese Medicine, please feel free to consult the experts online or email us.

Does CKD Stage 3 Mean Dialysis

I am diagnosed with CKD stage 3. I am from Florida, America. My serum creatinine is 442umol/l. My doctor told me that I am in the edge of dialysis for in my local hospital, when serum creatinine rises up to 445 umol/l, we will be reminded to take dialysis. Anyhow, I don’t want to take dialysis for after I surf the Internet, I find out some side effects and complications of dialysis, which makes me seek for alternative methods. Does CKD stage 3 surely mean dialysis?
Sir, please do not worry. CKD stage 3 as your condition needn’t take dialysis and we can supply an alternative method Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy. I will present one by one.
Firstly, just as you say, when serum creatinine rises up to 445 umol/l, kidney disease patients in most of countries will be suggested by their doctor to take dialysis. In this condition, kidney falls into discompensation stage, which means renal glmerulus which replace the filtration work of other damaged renal glmerulus fall ill as well. On the other hand, creatinine is accumulated into the blood, which should have been discharged out of the body. That is because creatinine is toxic small molecules which results from metabolism of muscles. If excessive amount of creatinine accumulates in blood for a long time, it will damage the body. So we are suggested to take dialysis.
Secondly, as you say, long time dialysis can lead to some side effects and complications of dialysis, which also can not repair the damaged intrinsic cells in the kidney, thus preventing the further damage to the healthy cells at present.
Last but not least, we recommend you Chinese Medicine, which can help stage 3 CKD patients far from dialysis. The mechanism goes as follows: the leaking out of the creatinine from serum into urine is because of the damaged intrinsic cells in the kidney. In normal condition, creatinine is small molecule which can pass through renal glomerular filtration membrane. When the renal glomerular filtration membrane is damaged, they can not pass as usual, which leads to high creatinine in serum. After Chinese Medicine is applied into patients’ body, it will extend blood vessels, especially the micro-blood vessels, improve the blood circulation, especially the micro-blood circulation, which lay foundation for the treatment. After that, a cleaner inner environment will be created. Then, the active materials in Chinese Medicine will play role and repair the damaged intrinsic cells in the kidney such as renal glomerular filtration membrane, thus rebuilding renal structure and reviving renal function. At last, excessive toxic small molecules such as creatinine will also be discharged out of the body and keep the inner environment clean.
So from the above, we can know that stage 3 patients can avoid dialysis with the help of Chinese Medicine.

CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease) and Its Clinical Stages

The definition of CKD( chronic kidney disease) is that is a person has more than 3 months symptoms such as proteinuria, hematuria, with or without decreased GFR( glomerualr filtration function), he will be diagnosed with CKD( chronic kidney disease).From this definition, we can find out that besides acute renal nephritis and acute urinary tract infection, most kidney diseases can be called CKD( chronic kidney disease). In China, doctors all follow the following criteria to get a conclusion how serious the patient’s condition is.
The first stage of CKD( chronic kidney disease) is compensation stage of renal insufficiency. In this stage, the damdaged renal units are not more than 50%. Serum creatinine is still in normal range for kidney has a strong ability of compensation. The serum creatinine is 50～80ml/min. Besides increased enuresis nocturna, there is no other clinical symptoms.
The second stage of CKD( chronic kidney disease) is discompensation stage of renal insufficiency. The damdaged renal units rose to more than 50%. The serum creatinine is 50～20ml/min. Serum creatinine is 133～442μmol/L. BUN(blood urea nitrogen) rose to more than 7.1mm01/L. Patients in this stage can feel weakness, and a little anemia, and so on.
The third stage of CKD( chronic kidney disease) is renal failure stage. In this stage, serum creatinine increased to 442～707μmol/L and the serum creatinine decreased to 20～10ml/min. BUN(blood urea nitrogen) rose to more than 179～286mmol/L. Patients with CKD( chronic kidney disease)have anemia, acid base disturbance, electrolyte disturbance and so on.
The end stage of CKD( chronic kidney disease) is uremia. In this stage, the serum creatinine is more than 707μmol/L. The creatinine clearance decreased to below 10ml/min. BUN(blood urea nitrogen)is more than 286mmol/L. patients have obvious acidosis, anemia and serious systematic symptoms.
In China, most people do not have physical examination every year. So, when they can feel the symptoms such as pain in the back, protein in urine, red blood cells in urine, the damage has been serious. What’s worse, some may even be diagnosed with uremia and receive dialysis directly for kidney has strong ability of compensation, which is scary and should have been attached importance to. Late treatment also has difficult in treating CKD( chronic kidney disease) well and the effect may be not so satisfactory. So to assure the effect, people should have physical examination every year because the earlier, the better.
