Can Lupus Cause Chronic Kidney Disease
Lupus also known as systemic lupus erythemotosus (SLE) is a common medical condition, especially in young women. It is a chronic inflammatory disease which can cause damage to multiple systems such as skin, heart, lung, kidneys etc. In fact, approximately 100% of the patients with lupus have renal injury. If left untreated, it is very likely to cause Chronic Kidney Disease.
Lupus is an autoimmune disease and it can cause immune injury to the systems of the whole body. In healthy condition, the immune system can produce antibodies to fight against bacteria and other infections. However, the lupus can prevent the antibodies from functioning normally. In lupus, the antibodies can not tell from the foreign pathological substances and the body’s own healthy cells and tissues. As a result, the antibodies attack the kidneys resulting in immune complexes to deposit in glomerular capillary subepithelial cells. The immune complexes attract inflammatory factors ceaselessly thus causing inflammation of kidneys. If the inflammation is not inhibited, it will cause renal injury progressively and chronically thus leading to Chronic Kidney Disease. In clinic, the paitents will present a series of symptoms of Chronic Kidney Disease.
To stop progression of Chronic Kidney Disease in lupus, the patients should to take proper treatment which can suppress the inflammation and clear up immune complexes as well as restore the injured epithelial cells.
Here the latest therapy-immunotherapy is suggested to the patients with Chronic Kidney Disease caused by lupus.
In the early stage of Chronic Kidney Disease due to lupus, if the patients can receive the above systemic treatment, they will be certainly able to avoid developing into Renal Failure.
However, not all patients with lupus will develop Chronic Kidney Disease. If you want to know if you are at risk of Chronic Kidney Disease, you can consult our experts on line. After analyze your illness condition comprehensively, we will evaluate your risk of developing Chronic Kidney Disease.

Latest Treatment for Diffuse Proliferative Lupus Nephritis
Diffuse Proliferative Lupus Nephritis is the most severe and common pathological type of Lupus Nephritis. Generally speaking, its prognosis is poor. If untreated, most of the patients will develop Renal Failure in a short time. Therefore, it is quite essential for the patients to receive treatment as soon as possible.
In Diffuse Proliferative Lupus Nephritis, more than 50% of glomeruli are involved which can be segmental or global with endocapillary or extracapillary proliferative lesions. In clinic, the patients present massive proteinuria, high blood pressure, hematuria etc.
As for the treatment of Diffuse Proliferative Lupus Nephritis, the patients are usually recommended to use hormone to control the above symptoms. However, once they reduce the hormone dosage, the symptoms will reoccur once again. Therefore, hormone can only treat the symptoms, but not the underlying cause of the disease.
Diffuse Proliferative Lupus Nephritis results from the deposition of immune complexes in the glomerular capillary subepithelial locations. For immune dysfunction, the immune system fails its function in protecting human body. When lupus viruses invade into body, the activated antibodies can not defeat them. As a result, the antigens and antibodies form immune complexes which can not dissolve in blood. Afterwards, these immune complexes enter into kidneys and deposit in the subepithelial location which can cause immune injury to the epithelial cells. As a result, the function of epithelial cells is damaged so they can not prevent the protein, red blood cells etc from leaking into urine.
Therefore, the key to treat Diffuse Proliferative Lupus Nephritis is to clear up the immune complexes and repair the impaired epithelial cells as well as correct the immune dysfunction. Here immunotherapy is recommended to the patients. Immunotherapy is a complete and systemic therapy and can treat Diffuse Proliferative Lupus Nephritis from its underling causes.
In immunotherapy, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can degrade immune complexes in epithelial cells and dissolve them in blood. Afterwards, they will be discharged out of body in urine. The patients can see their urine will become cloudy and contain floc in it with naked eyes.
As more than 50% of glomeruli are impaired, Immunotherapy has repair effect.
Immunotherapy is the latest treatment of Lupus Nephritis and it is a breakthrough in the field of Kidney Disease treatment. If you are interested in the therapy, you are free to consult us on line.

Hydronephrosis Caused by Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD)
Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is featured by numerous cysts growing on kidneys. If controlled, the cysts will enlarge gradually and cause a series of complications including hydronephrosis.
In PKD, with the enlargement of cysts, they are very likely to obstruct ureter. As a result, the urine can not be discharged normally resulting in hydronephrosis. As the cysts become bigger and bigger, the ureter will become more narrow. Hence, more and more urine will accumulate in pelvis, which can cause increased pressure in kidneys. Therefore, the renal functional cells will be impaired gradually causing renal function to decline. For the patients with Polycystic Kidney Disease, they should not neglect the significant harm to kidneys.
Then how to treat hydronephrosis and eliminate the pressure to kidneys? Maybe some doctors will recommend the patients to remove the cysts by surgery. However, it is not a favorable choice for them. As the cyst is removed, the left small ones will grow up very soon and may obstruct ureter once again. Therefore, what should the patients with PKD to is to shrink the enlarged cysts and prevent the small ones from enlarging.
Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can help the patients with PKD along with hydronephrosis achieve the goal.
Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can inactivate the epithelial cells which secrete cystic fluid and cause cysts to enlarge. Once the epithelial cells loss secretion function, the cysts will stop growing up.
In terms of the enlarged cysts, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can improve the permeability of cyst wall, which can promote the reabsorption of cystic fluid. As a result, the cysts will shrink gradually and the pressure in kidneys will also decline.
Once the cysts shrink and the ureter obstruction is removed, the urine will be able to be discharged out of kidneys normally. Afterwards, hydronephrosis will also disappear.
Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy treats hydronephrosis in PKD from its cause so the patients can get a better therapeutic effect.

How Is the Prognosis of Diffuse Proliferative Lupus Nephritis
Lupus Nephritis is a major complication of systemic lupus erythmatosus (SLE) and approximately two-thirds of patients develop Renal Disease. Based on the histological classes of Lupus Nephritis, Diffuse Proliferative Lupus Nephritis has the worst prognosis. More than 50% of the glomeruli are involved and show an increase in cells like epithelial cells and inflammatory cells. In clinic, the patients with Diffuse Poliferative Lupus Nephritis present hematuria, high blood pressure and even develop Nephrotic Syndrome. Because of the unfavorable prognosis of Diffuse Proliferative Lupus Nephritis, aggressive treatment must be instituted.
The cytotoxic agents and hormone are usually used to treat the disease. In most cases, the patients have certain improvement in clinical symptoms. However, for reducing in hormone dosage or other factors, the disease is susceptible to relapse frequently. Therefore, the conventional therapy can not improve the prognosis of Diffuse Proliferative Lupus Nephritis fundamentally. That is because they just focus on the symptoms, not its underlying cause.
Diffuse Proliferative Lupus Nephritis results from the immune complexes in glomerular capillary subepithelial cells. In some cases, the immune system is activated improperly and the antibodies produced by it can not tell from the pathological substances and the healthy cells and tissues in body. As a result, the antigens and antibodies form immune complexes and enter into kidneys through blood circulation. These immune complexes attract inflammatory factors ceaselessly thus impairing the glomeruli.
Therefore, in order to treat Diffuse Proliferative Lupus Nephritis and improve its prognosis. The patients should take treatment to suppress the inflammatory response, clear up the immune complexes and correct the immune dysfunction as well as repair the impaired glomeruli. If the causes of renal injury are eliminated and the glomeruli are restored very well, the renal function will improve dramatically. In this way, the kidneys will be able to function well to excrete metabolic products and keep electrolyte balance etc.
Although the prognosis of Diffuse Proliferative Lupus Nephritis is poor, it is possible to improve it by proper treatment. Would you like to know other aspects about Lupus Nephritis, you can consult us on line.

Does Urine Occult Blood Imply Kidney Disease
Urine occult blood is a clinical symptom in Kidney Disease. Therefore, once some persons are inspected to have urine occult blood in their physical tests, they worry it so much. However, does urine occult blood definitely imply Kidney Disease?
In normal case, there are no red blood cells in urine at all. If the occult blood appears in urine, the persons should pay more attention to the abnormality for it may be a sign of kidney problem or other problems.
Generally speaking, the causes of urine occult blood can be divided into three types: inflammation, stone and tumor.
As for inflammation, Glomerulonephritis, pyelonephritis, urocystitis etc, they can cause occult blood along with hematuria in urine.
What worry the persons most is urine occult blood resulted from Kidney Disease. That is because if the kidney problem is not eliminated as early as possible, it will develop progressively into Chronic Kidney Disease and even Renal Failure.
No matter what kind of stones such as kidney stone, ureter stone or bladder stone, they all may cause urine occult blood. In other cases like menstruation, constipation also may give rise to urine occult blood.
In addition, tumor is also a common cause of urine occult blood such as kidney, bladder or ureter benign or malignant tumors. Hypertrophy of prostate is a common tumor among the elderly men and it can trigger ureter infection.
Once you are diagnosed with urine blood occult, you should not feel panic. Primarily, you should go to do test and find the exact cause. If it results from physiological causes, once the stress situation passes, the urine occult blood will also disappear afterwards. However, if it is related to pathological causes, you should receive treatment as early as possible.

Significance of HBALC Test in Diabetes
In clinic, the levels of fasting blood glucose, postprandial blood glucose and HBALC are used to monitor the change in blood glucose. The levels of fasting blood glucose and postprandial blood only can reflect the instant blood glucose level so it can not reflect the blood glucose change in a long period. Compared with fasting blood glucose and postprandial blood glucose levels, HBALC has more significance in monitoring blood glucose.
After the blood glucose level rises, it will combine with the hemoglobin forming HBALC. Once they combine, they will not separate easily, but will disappear with the metabolism of red blood cells. As the life expectancy of red blood cells is 120 days, HBALC can reflect the blood glucose level in about two months.
In Diabetes, the most important thing is to control complications. If the persons can control blood glucose within target level, the incidence of complications will decline greatly. If the HBALC level is too high in blood, they will affect the affinity of red blood cells for oxgen resulting in tissues and cells anoxia and giving rise to hyperlipidemia. Moreover, it also can thicken the glomerular basilar membrane thus resulting in Diabetic Nephropathy. The researches conducted by Medical College in Cambridge University show that once HBALC rises by 1%, the chance of developing Coronary and Heart Diseases will increase by 15~18% and death rate increases by 20~30%. ADA suggests that the HBALC should keep below 7% and IDF suggests 6.5%. For the patients with Diabetes, if the HBALC keeps below 7%, it proves that their blood glucose keeps stable. However, if it is above 8%, they should control their blood glucose more strictly and adjust their treatment schedule immediately.
Therefore, the patients with Diabetes should attaché more importance to controlling HBALC so as to reduce the incidence of complications.

The Latest Treatment for FSGS
Focal Segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is serious pathological type and has poor prognosis. However, if the patients can receive proper treatment, it is possible for them to prevent it from developing into Renal Failure.
FSGS mainly attacks the glomeruli which are responsible for filtering blood. Once the glomeruli are damaged severely, they will lose the normal filtration function and can not prevent the leakage of protein, red blood cells into urine thus resulting in proteinuria and hematuria and even Nephrotic Syndrome.
Hormone is commonly used to treat FSGS. But most of the patients can not get a favorable therapeutic effect. The researches show that more than 60% of the patients with FSGS will develop End Stage Renal Failure due to ineffective therapy and frequent relapses. However, even if the patients receive kidney transplant, it does not have significance in improving the prognosis of FSGS. In approximately 40% of cases, the disease will reoccur after kidney transplant. Therefore, kidney transplant is not a favorable choice for the patients.
Facing the ineffectiveness of conventional therapies, the medical experts are eager to find an alternative therapy for FSGS. After many years’ research, they introduce the latest therapy-immunotherapy to the treatment of FSGS. Immunotherapy is not a single therapy, but a complete therapy system.
In immunotherapy, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can dilate systemic blood vessels. Hence, it can increase the blood and nutrients supply to kidneys thus relieving the renal ischemia and anoxia.
Through degrading immune complexes, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can eliminate the inducements of inflammation thus blocking further damage to kidneys.
In addition, the effective medicine ingredients in Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can provide some nutrients like vitamin, amino acid etc which can promote the self-repairing of the impaired kidneys. Meanwhile, they also can correct the immune dysfunction and reduce the relapse of FSGS.

Can Patients with PKD Drink Arabica Coffee
Arabica coffee has a long history in Arab States and it can go back to the ancient time. Arabica coffee is a high quality and healthy drink and it can lower the risk of developing colon cancer, gout, Parkinson's disease. However, for the local patients with Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD), they should limit the coffee consumption strictly.
Firstly, caffeine in Arabica coffee has a bad influence on high blood pressure.
High blood pressure is a very common complication of PKD. Caffeine can affect the secretion of renin which can regulate blood thus resulting in a sharp rise in blood pressure. In addition, the caffeine can stimulate the adrenal gland to produce more epinephrine, which can arouse blood pressure to elevate.
Secondly, coffee can cause the cysts to enlarge.
In PKD, the tubule cell proliferation and the cystic fluid accumulation result in the increasing in number and size of cysts, which can cause the enlargement of kidneys. The adenosine 3': 5'-monophosphate (cAMP) in coffee can accelerate the above mechanisms of cysts expansion.
Thirdly, the minerals in coffee can cause renal injury.
Coffee is rich in potassium. However, in PKD, if the patients suffer from renal insufficiency, their kidneys can not achieve their fullest potential. As a result, the potassium will accumulate in body. If the potassium level is too high, it may cause heart enlargement, arrhythmia and even cause death.
Therefore, the patients in Arab States should limit the Arabica coffee consumption in their daily diet. However, it means that they should avoid drinking coffee completely. If you want to know how much coffee you can drink or how much minerals like potassium, phosphorus etc you should consume or other diet of PKD, you can consult us on line.

Top 4 Severe Complications of Nephrotic Syndrome
Nephrotic Syndrome is a clinical syndrome. If left untreated, it will cause a series of complications.
In Nephrotic Syndrome, the barrier functions of glomerular basilar membrane thus resulting in massive protein loss in urine. If the impaired glomeruli can not restored effectively, the protein in urine will become more and more. As a result, it will cause a series of complications. The following article will introduce the top 4 severe complications of Nephrotic Syndrome.
★ Acute Renal Failure
Acute Renal Failure is the most serious complication of Nephrotic Syndrome. The patients may develop Renal Failure in a very short time and have to maintain their life by dialysis.
★ Infection
Protein is the major nutrients in blood which can supply the necessary energy for body. However, for large amount of protein loss in urine, the patients are quite likely to develop infection. Nephrotic Syndrome is often complicated with frequent urinary tract infection. In severe case, it can cause life-threatening infection.
★ Thrombus
The formation of thrombus is also serious complication of Nephrotic Syndrome. The thrombus can migrate freely in blood and can deposit in multiple body parts. If it form or immigrate in lung, it will cause pulmonary embolism which is a fateful disease for the patients.
★ Malnutrition
As mentioned above, the protein is the main nutrients for body. For a mass of protein loss in urine, it will certainly cause malnutrition. The patients often feel fatigue. For the children with Nephrotic Syndrome, malnutrition can inhibit their healthy growth and development severely.
As the four complications of Nephrotic Syndrome are all associated with massive of proteinuria, eliminating proteinuria is the key for treating the four complications.
Proteinuria in Nephrotic Syndrome results from damaged glomerular basilar membrane.
Therefore, the patients should take relevant treatment (Chinese Herbal Medicines Help Treat Nephrotic Syndrome ) to repair the glomerular basilar membrane. Immunotherapy is recommended to the patients with Nephrotic Syndrome. Once the glomerular basilar membrane is restored very well, it will be able to regain the normal barrier function which can prevent the protein leakage. Afterwards, the related four complications will improve.
Natural Remedy (Treatment) for Chronic Interstitial Nephritis
Chronic Interstitial Nephritis is a refractory Kidney Disease in clinic. It mainly impairs the renal tubule and interstitium. Without proper treatment, it is very likely to develop into Chronic Renal Failure. For avoiding the enormous side effects of hormone, here a natural remedy is recommended to the patients with Chronic Interstitial Nephritis.
In Chronic Interstitial Nephritis, a large amount of immune complexes deposit in renal interstitium and glomerular basement membrane. The complexes attract inflammatory factors constantly, which can impair the renal tubular epithelial cells and interstitial fibroblast cells, which can cause increased extracellular matrix thus causing renal ischemia and anoxia. If the ischemia can not corrected in time, it will lead to renal fibrosis and renal function decline. In severe case, it can arouse acute tubular necrosis.
Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is clinically used to treat Chronic Interstitial Nephritis and has showed enormous therapeutic effect.
Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is an innovative development of Chinese herbal medicine. The medicine integrants are derived from plants. The different integrants of a formula interact and influence each, which can increase the efficiency and the safety of the therapy.
1. The effective integrants in Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can degrade the extracellular matrix so as to inhibit the renal fibrosis. Then the extracellular matrix will be excreted out into urine. In clinic, the patients can observe floc in their urine by naked eyes.
2. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can dilate systemic blood vessels. Therefore, it can relieve the renal ischemia and anoxia due to the increased extracellular matrix.
3. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can provide some nutrients such as amino acid, vitamin D etc to stimulate the self-repairing ability of the impaired renal tubular epithelial cells and interstitial fibroblast cells. In this way, it can improve the renal function dramatically.
4. In addition, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can degrade the immune complexes and promote their excretion from kidney. As a result, it can eliminate the underlying cause of the inflammation of kidneys.
Once the renal functional cells are repaired very well, the kidneys will recover their normal function and the symptoms and complications of Chronic Interstitial Nephritis will relieve.

Is There Any Other Treatment for Childhood Nephrotic Syndrome than Hormone
Frequent relapse of Child Nephrotic Syndrome torments all of the parents. Facing the huge adverse effects of hormone like slow development, high blood pressure, swelling face and so on, the parents can not bear the sufferings to their children any longer and begin to look for a natural treatment.
Hormone treatment is commonly used in treating Childhood Nephrotic Syndrome. However, once the hormone dosage is reduced, the symptoms like proteinuria, swelling, high blood pressure will return soon. The relapse of Childhood Nephrotic Syndrome becomes the toughest problem for the doctors, but the conventional therapy still can not solve the problem yet. In order to achieve a good therapeutic effect, it is essential for us to know the underlying cause of Childhood Nephrotic Syndrome.
Immune deficiency plays the major role in Childhood Nephrotic Syndrome. The body immune system can not protect the body from the foreign pathological substances. When virus, bacteria or other pathological materials invade into body, the antibodies are activated to defeat them immediately. However, in some cases, the immune system is activated improperly. As a result, the antibodies encounter and bind to antigens in blood forming immune complexes. Afterwards, these immune complexes flow into kidneys with blood circulation and deposit in glomerular basement membrane. The body will trigger an inflammatory response to remove the immune complexes out of body. The inflammatory response will impair glomerular basement membrane and improve its permeability. Consequently, the protein will leak into urine. In clinic, the children will present a series of symptoms like proteinuria, swelling in leg and ankle, low protein level in blood, etc.
For the ineffectiveness and huge adverse effects of hormone therapy, many doctors are devoted to seeking for a natural effective treatment for Childhood Nephrotic Syndrome. After many years’ researches, a new therapy is introduced into the treatment of the disease. It is Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy .The main medicine integrants in Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy are natural herbs so they do not have any adverse effect on children. (The Safe Nephrotic Syndrome in Children Treatment)
On one hand, the effective medicines in Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can degrade the immune complexes and make them dissolve in blood. Finally, they will be passed out into urine through systemic circulation. Hence, the cause of kidney inflammation is eliminated.
Also Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can dilate blood vessels. Therefore, it can improve renal blood flow thus improving renal ischemia and anoxia. Once the renal blood flow increases, the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) will also improve accordingly. Moreover, the improved blood circulation can increase the secretion of metabolic products. The patients can see their urine will become cloudy and contain floc by naked eyes after the application of Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy.
In addition, Micro-Chinese Medicine can provide some growth factors which can promote the self-repairing of the damaged kidneys and improve the immunity.
Once the kidneys are repaired well and the immunity dysfunction is corrected, the chidren will be able to get rid of hormone and avoid relapse of Nephrotic Syndrome.
All parents hope their children can grow healthily and are eager their children can recover as soon as possible. For more information about the therapy, you can email to pkddoctor@hotmail.com. below or consult us on line.

Hormone May Cause Osteoporosis in Childhood Nephrotic Syndrome
Osteoporosis is very common in Childhood Nephrotic Syndrome and it results from long-term hormone use. It can affect skeletal development and may lead to other health problems. Therefore, many parents are very concerned about how does osteoporosis occur and how to treat it effectively.
Why does osteoporosis occur in Childhood Nephrotic Syndrome?
Hormone is commonly used in treating Childhood Nephrotic Syndrome and it shows obvious effect in eliminating symptoms like swelling, hematuria, proteinuria by suppressing immune response and inflammatory response. Meanwhile, long-term use of hormone can suppress the activity of osteoblasts and the absorption of calcium by intestine and impede osteosis thus resulting in osteoporosis.
Generally speaking, the children suffering from osteoporosis do not present specific manifestations. However, they often carry increased risk of developing bone fractures. Typically, the bone fractures often occure in the vertebral column, rib and wrist. For bone weak, the children may tumble very frequently. If osteoporosis is not corrected effectively, it will influence their bone development and healthy growth severely. Then how to treat osteoporosis properly in Childhood Nephrotic Syndrome?
The parents can reduce their children’s risk of developing osteoporosis by changing daily life. The children should increase the consumption of foods rich in calcium like milk, egg white etc. If necessary, they can take some vitamin D and calcium tablets to supply calcium. Moreover, the children should take more exercise to enhance their balance sense.
However, the above measures only play an assistant role in treating osteoporosis for Childhood Nephrotic Syndrome. As its underlying cause is hormone, if it is not eliminated, it will be very likely to cause bone problem again. Therefore, what the parents primarily should do is to change their children’ present treatment and look for the safe Nephrotic Syndrome in children treatment.
Causes of Massive Edema of Nephrotic Syndrome
Edema is a common manifestation in Nephrotic Syndrome. Some patients may have hydrothorax which can affect the breath and put much burden to heart and even cause death. Therefore, it is quite essential to eliminating edema in Nephrotic Syndrome. Primarily, let's see the causes of edema.
Kidneys play a vital role in our body and they are responsible for excreting metabolic wastes and excessive fluid as well as keep the useful substances such as proteins remain in blood. However, in Nephrotic Syndrome, the renal filters glomeruli are impaired and their filtration membrane loses their normal barrier function so they can not prevent the leakage of protein into urine.
Once the protein level in blood decreases, it will result in deceased plasma osmotic pressure. As a result, the fluid in blood will penetrate into subcutaneous tissue thus leading to edema.
In addition, in Nephrotic Syndrome, the kidneys can not excrete fluid normally as before, which can cause much fluid to build up in body thus resulting in edema.
To avoid the damage to the patients, they patients need to have diuretic therapy and water intake to reduce the accumulation of fluid in body. However, these can only be considered as assistant treatment methods. As the edema in Nephrotic Syndrome is associated with protein leakage, the patients should take treatment to repair the damaged glomeruli to stop protein leakage. Immunotherapy has a favorable effect in treating Nephrotic Syndrome.
If you are still tormented by the frequent edema or other complications of Nephrotic Syndrome still do not find effective methods, you can consult us or line. We will give you some personalized advices based your own illness conditions.

Treat High Blood in Nephrotic Syndrome from Underlying Cause
High blood pressure is a common complication of Nephrotic Syndrome. In return, it can exacerbate renal function. Therefore, it is very important for the patients with Nephrotic Syndrome to keep their blood pressure within the target level.
The kidney performs several vital functions in body. It can filter blood and discharge the excessive water by producing urine. In Nephrotic Syndrome, the permeability of the glomerular filtration membrane increases and can not filter blood normally as before. However, the renal tubule still keeps normally so they can reabsorb water and sodium thus arousing retention of water and sodium. Therefore, the blood flow will increase thus resulting in high blood pressure.
Generally, the doctors prescribe some diuretics and suggest a low-sodium diet to lowering high blood pressure and limit any further damage to kidneys. Those can only remit high blood pressure temporarily, but can not control it from its underlying cause. If the renal function aggravates further, the blood pressure will not be controlled by the conventional medicines.
As mentioned above, the glomeruli injury is the root cause of high blood pressure. Therefore, to lower high blood pressure, the treatment should focus on restoring the impaired glomeruli. Immunotherapy is suggested to the patients with Nephrotic Syndrome.
If you are a suffer and has difficulty in controlling high blood pressure or other complications of Nephrotic Syndrome, you can consult us one line. Our experts will give you some useful advices based your disease illness condition.

Latest Treatment for Lupus Nephropathy
Lupus is a chronic systemic autoimmune disease which can affect multiple organs and tissues such as skin, joint, kidney etc. Lupus Nephritis is one of the most manifestations of lupus. If untreated, Lupus Nephropathy can lead to scarring and permanent damage to the kidneys and possibly End-Stage Renal Disease. Therefore, it is very essential for the patients with Lupus Nephropathy to receive treatment as early as possible.
In Lupus, the patients'immune system is activated improperly so it can not defeat the foreign pathological materials. As a result, the antigens and antibodies form immune complexes and then deposit diverse parts in body. When the immune complexes flow into kidneys through blood circulation, they will cause inflammation in kidneys thus arousing Lupus Nephropathy. Therefore, immune complexes are the underlying cause of renal injury.
The conventional therapy does not treat lupus and its complications from a holistic view. The patients go to see doctors in different departments like dermatological department, hematology department, nephrology department etc. However, if the immune complexes still remain in kidneys, joints etc, once the lupus activates, it will cause damage to the tissues and organs once again. To treat lupus and Lupus Nephropathy, it is very essential to correct the disordered immune system and clear up the immune complexes. Immunotherapy can help the patients achieve the above therapeutic effect. Immunotherapy is not a single therapy, but a complete treatment system.
In immunotherapy, blood purification can clear up the immune complexes in blood so as to prevent them from depositing in kidneys and other parts again.
Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can regulate immunity. On one hand, it can degrade the immune complexes in kidneys and other body parts, which can eliminate the inducing factors of inflammation in kidneys. On the other hand, it can correct the immunity. Hence, it can enhance the self-clearing ability of the body.
Once the immune complexes are removed and the immune system is corrected, the inflammation in diverse parts will stop. Therefore, the systemic symptoms will relieve.
Immunotherapy not only focuses on Lupus Nephropathy, but also can treat other complications of lupus. Therefore, the patients can get a systemic and holistic recovery.

How Is the Prognosis of Purpura Nephritis
Purpura is an allergic disease. It can cause damage to multiple body systems such as joints, intestinal tract etc. Purpura Nephritis is the most serious complication of allergic purpura. Then how is the prognosis of Purpura Nephritis? Will it progress into Chronic Renal Failure?
Some statistics show that about 50% of the patients with allergic purpura have renal injury in varying degrees, in which nearly 15% of the patients develop persistent gross hematuria and/or proteinuria and 18% of them show microscopic hematuria and microalbuminuria. More than 5% of the patients will develop Chronic Renal Failure in several years. The prognosis of Purpura Nephritis varies in different patients and it is mainly affected by the following factors.
1. Age of onset of Purpura Nephritis
The prognosis of Purpura Nephritis in children is favorable. In more than 70% of cases, the disease in children can remit completely. However, the prognosis of the disease among adults is poor.
2. The pathological categories of Purpura Nephritis
Some researches prove that the patients with type IV or severer pathological category are at high risk of developing Chronic Renal Failure. While only 3% of the patients with other pathological categories will develop Chronic Renal Failure.
3. Clinical symptoms of Purpura Nephritis
High blood pressure and proteinuria are two risky factors in worsening prognosis of Purpura Nephritis. If the patients have massive proteinuria or uncontrolled high blood pressure, the prognosis of the disease is usually very bad. Therefore, controlling blood pressure and eliminating proteinuria is very important to improve the prognosis of Purpura Nephritis.
Here the experts remind the patients with purpura that even if they do not present symptoms of renal injury, they should still keep regular checks because the renal injury usually occurs latently within several years after the diagnosis of purpura.
Once the patients are diagnosed with Purpura Nephritis, they should receive proper treatment as early as possible to avoid it from developing into Chronic Renal Failure.

What Does Pro++++ Imply in URT
For the patients with Kidney Disease, when they take urine routine test (URT), the result usually presents pro+, pro++ and even pro++++. What does the "+" mean? Does pro++++ imply that kidney injury is very serious?
In fact, the normal urine also contains protein, but its amount is less than 150 mg/24h. In URT, the protein in urine is negative, which is expressed in pro-. Once the amount of protein in urine exceeds 150 mg/24h, the urinary protein qualitative test result is positive (+). The number of "+" is in proportion to the amount of protein in urine. Pro++++ implies that the kidney injury is very serious. Then why is there protein in urine?
Kidneys are responsible for filtering blood and discharging metabolic wastes. In normal case, they can excrete the metabolic products from blood, but keep the useful substances in body.
The kidneys realize the above function mainly relying on the glomeruli which are the filters in kidneys. The glomerular filtration membrane has barrier function and can prevent protein leakage into urine. However, in Kidney Disease, the glomerular filtration rate is impaired and its permeability enhances greatly. As a result, the protein will pass through the filtration membrane and appear in urine.
Therefore, in order to eliminate protein in urine, the patients with Kidney Disease should take relevant therapy to repair the damaged glomerular filtration membrane. Here Immunotherapy is recommended to the patients with Kidney Disease.
If you have abnormal test values in your blood or urine test or you have any abnormal symptom, you can consult us on line. Our experts will help you analyze your disease condition and give you some useful advices as soon as possible.
How to Treat Adult Nephrotic Syndrome
Adult Nephrotic Syndrome is commonly seen in Membranous Nephropathy. Generally speaking, for the serious pathological category, the prognosis of Adult Nephrotic Syndrome is unfavorable. If untreated, it will progress into Renal Failure in several years. Therefore, it is quite necessary for the patients with Adult Nephrotic Syndrome to receive treatment as early as possible.
Adult Nephrotic Syndrome starts when the immune complexes depositing in glomeruli which are the filters in kidneys. Antibodies are made by the immune system to fight against the foreign pathological substances like virus, bacteria etc that can cause disease. These agents are called as antigens. That is why the body can keep in a normal and healthy state.
However, in some cases, the immune system is activated improperly in response to antigens. When antigens and antibodies encounter and bind to antigens in the circulation.
Afterwards, the immune complexes will flow into kidneys and deposit in glomeruli. As a result, the body mounts an inflammatory response to try to remove the immune complexes from kidneys. Ultimately, the inflammation impairs the function of the glomeruli, leading to Adult Nephrotic Syndrome.
For the immunological causes of Adult Nephrotic Syndrome, immunotherapy is recommended to the patients.
Immunotherapy aims at regulating the autoimmune process and correcting the glomerular function so as to reduce the leakage of protein in urine. Moreover, it can improve the weak immunity which results from long-term using of hormone and immunosuppressive agents. Therefore, it can reduce the incidences of infections, colds etc.
Immunotherapy can treat Adult Nephrotic Syndrome from its pathogenesis. Therefore, it can treat the disease and solve the relapse problems fundamentally.
Immunotherapy is not a single therapy, but a complete treatment system including modern western medicine and the new applicaiton of traditional Chinese medicine Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy . If you want to know the detailed therapeutic mechanism of immunotherapy, you can find more information on our website or consult us on line directly.

Unhealthy Habits Result in Kidney Disease in Saudi Arabia
An apple a day keeps the doctor away. From the idiom, we can see the importance of good habits in prevention of diseases. On contrary, many diseases may attribute to unhealthy daily habits.
In Saudi Arabia, the unhealthy daily habits play a major role in Kidney Disease. A majority of the population of Saudi Arabia are dependent on fast foods and soda drinks. These foods contain high protein, high calorie and high fat which can cause obesity, abnormal glucose metabolism and increasing in blood pressure and blood sugar. Indirectly, these healthy problems can increase the incidence of Secondary Kidney Disease like Hypertensive Nephropathy and Diabetic Kidney Disease.
Also the people living in Saudi Arabia hardly drink water, which can do much harm to kidneys. Our kidneys play a vital role in body and they are responsible for filtering blood and discharging metabolic and excessive water by producing urine. If we keep enough water consumption, it can help bring away the metabolic wastes and the virus or bacteria in ureter, bladder etc to avoid infections in urinary system. In this way, it can reduce the incidence of Kidney Disease or other urinary system diseases.

Complications of Chronic Renal Failure in Children
All the children should have the same right to enjoy their childhood and live a
healthy and happy life. However, sometimes, the fate is unfair. Many
children have to endure the torments of disease. Especially for
those with Chronic Renal Failure, its severe complications do
so enormous harm to them.
Renal osteodystrophy
The impaired phosphate excretion results in an elevation of serum phosphate and a drop in calcium thus stimulating the development of renal osteodystrophy. Also the impaired formation of active metabolites of vitamin D results in malabsorption of calcium across the intestinal tract. In addition, the children with Chronic Renal Failure have a skeletal hormone resistance which can contribute to the development of renal osteodystrophy.
Growth failure
The majority of children who have Chronic Renal Failure suffer from significant growth retardation. Among the children with the disease, their tissues have resistance to endogenous and exogenous growth hormone. Moreover, the growth hormone receptor is also inhibited by the disease.
Anemia
When renal function falls below 15% of normal, anemia appears with increasing frequency in Children with Chronic Renal Failure. There are multiple factors attributing to the anemia in children.
* Decreased erythropoiesis
* Shortened red blood cells survival
* Excessive blood losses
* Iron and folic acid deficiency
Frequent infection
For the children with Chronic Renal Failure, they suffer from impaired immunological defense and delayed wound healing, which can give rise to a higher incidence of infection in children.
Other complications
A progressive encephalopathy, seizures,ataxia, chorea, duodenal ulcers and sexual dysfunction have been noticed in the children who have Chronic Renal Failure.
The above has introduced the main complications of Renal Failure in children. However, if the parents can have their children treated as early as possible, they will be able to avoid developing the above complications. If you feel disappointed about the present treatment of your children, maybe you can change to a new one. If you want to know the latest treatment of Chronic Renal Failure for children worldwide, you can consult our experts on line. Maybe our advices will be helpful your children.

How to Treat FSGS with Diffuse Chronic Interstitial Fibrosis
Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) refers to the scarring of nephrons. It is a serious pathological category with an unfavorable prognosis. If FSGS is accompanied by diffuse chronic interstitial fibrosis, it can accelerate the deterioration of renal function and may progress into Renal Failure in a short time. Therefore, it is very urgent to treat FSGS along with diffuse chronic interstitial fibrosis.
FSGS is attributable to immune dysfunction. When the pathological FFsubstances like virus, bacteria or other antigens invade into body, they can not defeated by their relevant antibodies. As a result, the antigens and antibodies form complexes in blood and deposit in glomerular epithelial cells. The body initiates inflammation to remove the immune complexes resulting in impairment of epithelial cells.
After the epithelial cells are impaired, it will cause proliferation of extracellular matrix thus causing glomerulosclerosis and interstitial fibrosis.
To treat FSGS along with diffuse chronic interstitial fibrosis, the treatment should focus on clear up immune complexes and extracellular matrix, repairing epithelial cells as well as correcting abnormal immunity. Here immunotherapy is recommended to the patients. Immunotherapy is not a single therapy, but a comprehensive treatment system including western medicines and traditional Chinese medicine.
In immunotherapy, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can degrade the immune deposits and extracellular matrix and make them dissolve in blood. Also, the effective medicine integrants can dilate blood vessels and increase the renal blood supply. Finally, the degraded harmful substances will be passed out into urine through systemic circulation. Also, it can provide a favorable environment for restoring the impaired epithelial cells. In this way, the renal function will improve greatly and even recover normal.
Life Expectancy of the Patients with Berger's Disease
What is the life expectancy of the patients with Berger’s Disease? In fact, although there is no a uniform standard for it, they can extend their life expectancy by proper treatemtn. Generally speaking, the following factors attribute to the life expectancy of the paitents with Berger's Disease. As follows:
*The therapy you choose
The treatment you adopt is the primary factors affecting life expectancy of the patients with Berger’s Disease. You should choose the treatment which focuses on eliminating the underlying causes of the disease, but not those only can relieve noticeable symptoms.
Immune abnormality plays the major role in Berger’s Disease. Immune injury gives rise to impairment of the renal functional cells and tissues. If the therapy you choose aims at correcting the abnormal immunity and restoring the impaired renal functional cells, the life expectancy will be extended. Here the newest treatment of Berger's Disease is recommened to the patients.
* Treatment time
At the starting of Berger’s Disease, it may be asymptomatic and the patients also have no discomforts. Therefore, they do not go to see a doctor at that time at all. As a result, they may miss the best therapeutic opportunity resulting in severe pathological changes and complications like high blood pressure, proteinuria, Nephrotic Syndrome etc. Any of them is a big risk for their life expectancy.
* Daily habits
In addition, the patients with Berger’s Disease who keep a special diet and take proper exercise live a longer life than others. Low protein diet can reduce the production of nitrogen which can put much burden on kidneys. Limited salt consumption can relieve edema and reduce burden to heart and kidney. Moreover, aerobic exercise can enhance the immunity so as to reduce the incidence of complications of IgA Nephropathy (Berger’s Disease).
If the patients with Berger’s Disease can receive proper treatment as early as possible along with healthy daily habits, they will be able to extend their life expectancy and live as long as common people.
Chinese Herbal Treatment for IgA Nephropathy (Berger's Disease)
Chinese herbal treatment has a long unbroken tradition dating back to the
ancient time in China. It has continually developed throughout the history. In
modern medicine area, Chinese herbal treatment is combined with the advanced
diagnostic techniques and equipments perfectly and brings infinite hope for the
patients with refractory chronic diseases. The article will introduce how
Chinese herbal treatment works to treat IgA Nephropathy.
IgA Nephropathy is attributable to the mesangial immune deposits caused by immune dysfunction. Once the mesangial cells are impaired, it will cause hyperplasia of extracellular matrix thus initiating renal fibrosis and glomerulosclerosis. The mechanism of Chinese herbal medicine in treating IgA Nephropathy is as follows:
* Chinese medicine can degrade the mesangial immune deposits and extracellular matrixes and make them dissolve in blood. Finally, the dissolved harmful substances will be discharged out from blood in urine. As a result, the inducing factors of the renal injury will be eliminated completely.
* Chinese medicine can dilate blood vessels and clear up the inflammatory factors and thrombus. Hence, it can improve systemic blood circulation. It can enhance the excretion of the metabolic wastes and increase the blood and oxgen supply to kidneys.
* Chinese medicine can provide some nutrients which can stimulate the self-repairing of the impaired mesangial cells so as to improve the renal function.
After several days’ Chinese herbal treatment, the patients’ illness condition will have obvious improvement. The patients can observe floc in their urine. Also, their appetite will improve obviously and the blood pressure turns normal as well as anemia improves. The patients can feel those improvements obviously by themselves after a period of treatment.
Chinese herbal treatment seeks primarily to correct internal imbalance rather than to treat symptoms of IgA Nephropathy along. Therefore, the patients will have a fundamental improvement.
However, if the patients use Chinese medicine improperly, it will do harm to their body. Therefore, to guarantee the safety, you should never use Chinese medicine without the permission of a properly trained practitioner. If you want to know more information about the diet of IgA Nephropathy, or prognosis or other aspects, it is free for you to consult us on line.

Latest Treatment for Polycystic Kidney Disease
What’s the latest treatment for Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) in the present medical area? Is there a cure for PKD now?
PKD is a common genetic disease. Although the gene technique has developed greatly, it still can solve this troublesome medical problem.
What you can do is to stop the enlargement of cysts and shrink the big ones gradually. In this way, they will be able to avoid developing Chronic Renal Failure. Then how can you achieve the above goals?
Here the latest treatment will be introduced the latest treatment of PKD to you. It is Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy. You may be unfamiliar with this therapy. However, you may know something about traditional Chinese herbal medicines like angelica sinensis, tripterygium wilfordii etc. In fact, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is a new application of traditional Chinese herbal medicine and it is an external therapy other than oral medicines. The superfinely shattered medicine will be penetrated into kidney lesion with the help of advanced equipment and penetrating fluid.
Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy plays the following roles in treating PKD.
★ The enlargement of cysts in PKD is attributable to the excretion of the cystic fluid by the epithelial cells of cyst wall. The effective medicine in Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can promote the functional transformation of the epithelial cells so as to increase the resorption of the cystic fluid by the epithelial cells. In this way, the cysts will shrink gradually.
★ Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can dilate blood vessels so as to relieve renal ischemia and anoxia caused by the oppression of the cysts thus stimulating the self-repairing of the kidneys. Also, it can improve the systemic blood circulation so as to enhance the
=excretion of the metabolic products like creatinine, nitrogen etc.
The herbal medicines in Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy are rich in nutrients like amino acid, vitamin D, etc which promote the self-repairing of the impaired nephrons.
Once the cysts stop enlarging, the oppression to nephrons will relieve. In this way, it will be able to stop the further renal decline and make the patients with PKD avoid developing Chronic Renal Failure.

Is Kidney Transplant Preferred Option for Patients in Australia
In recent years, the prevalence rate of End Stage Renal Failure (ESRD) shows a significant increase in Australia. However, there is no other better replacement therapy other than kidney transplant in Australia. Is kidney transplant the preferred option for patients with ESRD in Australia?
The answer is “No”. Kidney Transplant is not a cure for ESRD. Also, the recipients have to live with the possibility of chronic rejection and the loss of donor kidney. This can mean a return to dialysis, as well as side-effects associated with anti-rejection medications and comorbid conditions.
In addition, there are many factors which can prevent the patients with ESRD to perform kidney transplant such as age, obesity, smoking, alcohol abuse etc. Moreover, the organ donation rate in Australia is very low compared to other countries. Once on the kidney transplant list, the patients have to wait for a long time. Unfortunately, many patients may die during their waiting.
Therefore, kidney transplant is not considered to be the preferred option for the patients in Australia.
With the development of regenerative medicine, Immunotherapy brings new hope to the patients with ESRD worldwide. At present, it has been applied to treat diverse refractory diseases.
If you are not familiar with Immunotherapy and want to know more information about it, it is free for you to consult us on line. Or you can describe your illness condition below. After our experts analyze your illness conditions, we will give you a feedback as early as possible.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for PKD in China
Traditional Chinese medicine is a complete medical system dating back to ancient China. It views the human body from the mechanical view of the human body as seen by western biomedical medicine. This article will provide the causes of PKD from the point of traditional Chinese medicine and tell you what can be done about it.
In traditional Chinese medicine, the kidney is seen as regulating the balance of water in the body and it is also considered the storehouse Jing energy. Jing is the spark of life that we inherit from our parents. The kidney functions to regulate the use of Jing or more specifically manage growth, reproduction, fertility etc.
For the person with PKD, the structural problems of the kidney from birth results in a mismanagement of the Jing energy of life. The patients’ kidneys are aging faster than they should and the kidneys are prone to fail.
Therefore, for the patients with PKD, traditional Chinese medicine can regulate the management of their Jing energy so as to recover the normal aging process of kidneys and repair the impaired renal tissues. Traditional Chinese medicines aim at recovering the self-curing ability of the human body. In this way, the patients will be able to avoid the risk of developing Chronic Renal Failure(Complications of Chronic Renal Failure).
Compared with the chemical drugs, traditional Chinese medicines are free of side effects. Every formula is composed of several types of herbs which are interacted to achieve their efficiency. It can increase the safety and efficiency greatly. However, if Chinese medicine is used irrationally, it may cause damage to body. Therefore, you should never use Chinese medicine without the permission of a professional practitioner.

Severe Complications of Acute Glomerulonephritis in Children
Acute Glomerulonephritis is very common in children. The
conventional treatments only focus on controlling blood pressure, eradicating
infection etc. However, as its underlying cause is not eliminated, Acute
Glomerulonephritis will cause a series of severe complications in children.
Hear failure
Heart failure is commonly seen in children with Acute Glomerulonephritis. They often present pulmonary congestion, liver enlargement, left heart failure or right heart failure etc. Also the children can be tested out to have noticeable enlargement of heart. These complications are related to the retention of fluid and sodium due to decreasing in glomerular filtration rate and endocrine abnormality. It usually occurs 1~2 weeks after the onset of Acute Glomerulonephritis.
Cerebropathy
The incidence of cerebropathy in children is 5~10%. The children with Acute Glomerulonephritis usually present headache, vomiting, somnolence. In severe case, they may have coma and convulsions. This may be associated with severe high blood pressure, cerebral edema or cerebrovascular spasm.
Acute Renal Failure
During the acute period of Acute Glomerulonephritis, the mesangial cells and endothelial cells have massive proliferation and even cresent formation, which can cause oliguria and even anuria and Acute Renal Failure.(Causes of Acute Renal Failure)
Although most of the children can recover after proper treatment, some children may progress into Chronic Glomerulonephritis and finally End Stage Renal Failure. Therefore, the parents should not delay the effective treatment for their children.

How to Treat Acute Glomerulonephritis in Children
Acute Glomerulonephritis in children usually occurs after acute streptococcal infection. It is an inflammation of kidney due to immune deposits in glomeruli. Without proper treatment, the disease may progress into Chronic Renal Failure. Therefore, it is very essential for your children to receive treatment as early as possible.
Acute Glomerulonephritis in children is attributable to the immune dysfunction. When the streptococcal virus invades into body, the immune system produces relevant antibodies to defeat the antigens. For immune dysfunction, the antibodies bind to antigens and form immune complexes in blood. Afterwards, these immune complexes reach kidneys and deposit in glomerular basilar membrane through blood circulation. These immune complexes attract inflammatory factors constantly thus resulting in glomerular immune injury. In clinic, the children will present protein, urine decreased urine output, hematuria etc.
As for the treatment of Acute Glomerulonephritis in children, the doctor should prescribe antibiotics to control the infections.
The following treatment should focuses on suppressing the inflammation in kidney, restoring the impaired kidneys and rebuilding immune system.
After the above systemic treatment, the children’ symptoms will relieve greatly and renal function will improve or recover normal. In this way, they will be able to avoid developing Chronic Renal Failure and complications of Acute Glomerulonephritis in children.

At What Age Kidneys Fail from Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD)
In present medical are, there is no cure for Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD). In the western medicine, the doctors just tell the patients to wait for the worsening of the disease until dialysis or kidney transplant is available. Therefore, the patients with Polycystic Kidney Disease care about at what age their kidneys will fail for the disease. In fact, there is no an absolute answer to the question.
Generally speaking, approximately half of the patients with PKD develop Renal Failure by age 60. However, if they drink and smoke often, the time may approach earlier. For women, if they have repeated pregnancies, it also can aggravate the deterioration of renal function. Moreover, if the patients have high blood pressure, hematuria and other complications, they also can accelerate PKD progression. Therefore, developing good habits and prevent complication is very important in delaying the approaching of Renal Failure.
The primary factor in delaying the progression of PKD is what treatment method the patients choose. If PKD is treated properly, they will be able to avoid developing Renal Failure completely. In China, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy has been applied in clinic practice of PKD and has showed remarkable effects. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is an external therapy and it is the new application of traditional Chinese medicine.
Chinese herbal medicines date back to 2500 years ago in China. The integrants are mainly derived from the plant root, leaf, seeds, minerals and animal bone etc. Before taking the herbal medicines, they have to be boiled for a long time. The efficiency will be off greatly. Moreover, it takes a long time for the medicine to take effect.
To get rid of the disadvantages of traditional Chinese medicine, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is introduced to the treatment of PKD. The effective integrants in medicine can permeate into renal lesions to take effect on the renal cysts and damaged kidney tissues directly. Therefore, the patients can absorb the medicine more effectively and can achieve a better therapeutic effect.

How to Prevent Chronic Renal Failure from Developing into Uremia
Uremia is also known as End Stage Renal Failure. It is the advanced period of Chronic Renal Failure. In Uremia, a large amount of uremic toxins build up in body, which can affect many body systems including cardiovascular system, endocrine system, gastrointestinal system etc. Complications of Chronic Renal Failure are life-threatening for the patients. Therefore, in order to avoid Chronic Renal Failure developing into the severe stage, the patients with Chronic Renal Failure should receive proper treatment as early as possible.
In Chronic Renal Failure, especially in the advanced stage, a large amount of metabolic wastes build up in body and extracellular matrix occupies much space in kidneys. The patients should have a series of treatments to clear up these harmful substances firstly so as to stop further renal impairment and build a favorable environment for restoring the impaired kidneys. The treatments mainly include blood purification, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy, immunoadsorption etc.

Treatment for Kidney Fibrosis
Kidney fibrosis is a pathological and physiological changing process, in which the kidneys are impaired gradually until they fail completely. Therefore, reversing kidney fibrosis plays a crucial role in stopping renal function decline.
How does kidney fibrosis occur?
The human body has a powerful immune system. However, for immune dysfunction, the immune system can not tell the foreign pathological substance and the healthy cells and tissues in body. As a result, the antibodies produced by immune system attack the healthy renal cells and tissues, which is hypersensitivity.
If the hypersensitivity is not inhibited effectively, it will cause inflammation in kidneys. As a result, the renal intrinsic cells are impaired by the inflammation. In the advanced stage of Kidney Disease, increased extracellular matrix produces in kidneys, which can cause scarring and renal parenchymal sclerosis in kidneys thus resulting in Renal Failure.
How to treat kidney fibrosis?
After the above analysis of kidney fibrosis cause, the treatment should suppress inflammation, clear up extracellular matrix and restoring the impaired renal intrinsic cells.
The application of immunotherapy has showed enormous effect in inhibiting renal fibrosis. Immunotherapy is a combined therapy integrating modern western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine.
In immunotherapy, blood purification can clear up the harmful substances in blood so as to stop them from attacking the healthy renal tissues and cells.
Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can dilate blood vessels. In this way, it can increase the blood supply to kidneys and improve microcirculation. Also it can degrade extracellular matrix. In this way, it can relieve renal ischemia and anoxia so as to improve renal function.

New Treatment Option for Lupus Nephritis other than Steroid
Lupus Nephritis is an autoimmune disorder caused by lupus. At present, hormone treatment is still the most common therapy for the disease. Hormone can suppress the abnormal immune response and relieve the relative symptoms effectively. It plays an important role in delaying the progression of Lupus Nephritis.
However, many patients with Lupus Nephritis usually have the confusion that once they reduce the dosage of hormone, the disease will relapse very soon. Every relapse of Lupus Nephritis is a very big trauma to the kidneys. Then how does it occur?
Our human body has a very powerful immune system which can prevent the outside invaders like virus, bacteria etc into body. However, in some cases, the immune system is activated improperly and it can not tell the healthy tissues and cells from the outside harmful substances. As a result, the proteins known as antibodies produced by immune system form immune complexes and cause damage to kidneys. Once someone is affected by lupus virus, the relevant antibodies impair the filters in kidneys thus resulting in Lupus Nephritis.
The hormone can suppress the abnormal immune response for the time being. Therefore, it can relieve the symptoms of Lupus Nephritis.
However, once there are some factors which can initiate lupus activity, the lupus virus will cause the abnormal immune response to occur again.
To treat Lupus Nephritis, the treatment should not only able to suppress the immune inflammation, but also can correct the immune system and restore the impaired glomeruli. In 2012, the latest treatment: immunotherapy is introduced into the treatment of Lupus Nephritis.
Immunotherapy is not a single treatment, but a comprehensive treatment system including brand new diagnosis, brand new medicine and brand new treatment methods.
Immunotherapy can suppress the abnormal immune inflammation by using a series of hormones with low side effects. Therefore, it can stop the further damage to kidneys effectively.
However, it is not possible for the pathological immune complexes to exist in the patients’ body. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy plays a vital role in clearing up the immune complexes. The effective medicines not only can degrade the immune complexes and make them dissolve in blood, but also can improve the systemic blood circulation. Ultimately, the immune complexes will be passed out of body in urine.
After the above treatment, the progression of Lupus Nephritis can be inhibited effectively.

How to Avoid Dialysis for Patients with Lupus Nephritis
Lupus Nephritis is a severe complication of lupus. In the early stage of Lupus Nephritis, the patients usually do not present any obvious symptom or discomforts and the conventional testes like urine test and blood test can not reflect the abnormality of kidneys at all. As a result, in many cases, the patients may be diagnosed with Lupus Nephritis in its advanced stage, in which, their kidneys have been damaged badly.
For the patients with Lupus Nephritis, when their kidneys can not function normally to clear up toxins and excess fluid, they have to depend on dialysis to realize the task. Dialysis can replace partial function of the native kidneys to remove the small molecular harmful substances such as creatinine, urea nitrogen etc, but it is useless for the middle molecular and macromolecular harmful substances. Even if dialysis is performed regularly, the toxins will still build up in body to aggravate deterioration of renal function.
Lupus Nephritis is an autoimmune disorder, in which the immune system attacks the renal tissues and cells thus resulting in renal impairment. To achieve the above therapeutic goals, immunotherapy is recommended to the patients with Lupus Nephritis.
Immunotherapy is not a single treatment, but a complete treatment system including diagnosis, treatment methods and brand new medicines including western medicines and traditional Chinese medicine. It takes the advantages of the modern western medicines, techniques and the essence of traditional Chinese medicine.

How Long Can You Live with Diabetes on Dialysis
Kidney damage is commonly seen among the patients with a long history of Diabetes. Without proper treatment, the patients are at high risk of developing Renal Failure and have to depend on dialysis to extend life. Then how long can patients with Diabetes on dialysis live?
In fact, there is no a uniform response to the question. If the can receive proper treatment, they will have a good chance to live as long as common people. Here the combination therapy of Chinese herbal medicine and Immunotherapy will be introduced to the patients with Diabetes.
Chinese herbal medicine
In advanced stage of Diabetic Nephropathy( Proteinuria Changes in Five Stages of Diabetic Nephropathy).
a mass of metabolic toxins build up in body which can pollute the internal environment and damage multiple body systems. Chinese herbal medicine can promote the excretion of metabolic products and relieving damages to other systems by dilating blood vessels, improving immune function, degrading harmful substance etc. The medicine integrants in Chinese herbal medicine are derived from plants so they are free of side effects. Ultimately, it can create a favorable environment for repairing the damaged renal functional cells.
The combination therapy can treat Diabetes and Kidney Disease effectively. It can eliminate the inducing factors of renal injury so as to achieve a fundamental recovery.

Alternative Treatment Option for People with FSGS
FSGS (Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis) is severe pathological type in Nephrotic Syndrome. Without proper treatment, most patients with FSGS will develop Renal Failure within 2~20 years.
At present, kidney transplant is still the preferred treatment option for people with FSGS. However, most people are at high risk of reoccurrence of the disease after receiving kidney transplant and it usually occurs within the first year of the surgery. Why does kidney transplant fail quite often in FSGS?
FSGS is an autoimmune disease. Our human body has a powerful immune system which can prevent the outside invaders. However, in some cases, the immune system is activated improperly and can not tell from the outside harmful substances and the healthy cells and tissues. As a result, the immune system attacks the normal renal tissues and cells, which is called as hypersensitivity. If the hypersensitivity is not inhibited, it will cause damage to kidneys and finally complete kidney failure. Immunological factor is also the cause of kidney transplant fail in FSGS.
In 2012, the latest therapy---immunotherapy is introduced into the treatment of FSGS(causes and complications of FSGS).
Immunotherapy is not a single therapy, but a comprehensive treatment system including diagnosis, brand new medicines, treatment methods, advanced treatment techniques etc. It can guarantee the patients to get the best treatment effect.

Life Expectancy of People with Stage 3 Kidney Failure
What is the life expectancy of people with stage 3 Kidney Failure? This article is going to response to this frequently asked question.
In fact, the life expectancy of people with stage 3 Kidney Failure varies from case to case, mainly depending on the following factors:
1. Management of the associated diseases
As kidney function declines, a lot of waste products can build up in the blood causing a series of symptoms including high blood pressure, anemia, sleep problems, itching, muscle cramp etc.

What Is the Treatment for MPGN
Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) is an autoimmune disorder which affects the filters in kidneys. Although the prognosis of MPGN is good, it is quite pone to progress into Renal Failure if the patients can not get proper treatment in time. After many years' research, a new therapy—immunotherapy is applied successfully in treating kidney disease.
How does MPGN occur?
Our human body has a powerful immune system which can prevent the harmful substance invading into body by producing antibodies. However, in some cases, the immune system can not function well. As a result, the antibodies fail to defeat the harmful substances known as antigens. As a result, the antibodies and antigens form immune complexes to lodge in the kidney, which can cause inflammation and damage to the kidney itself.
How to treat MPGN?
Immunotherapy plays the following roles in treating MPGN ( The Efficient Way to Treat MPGN ).
1. It can inhibit the inflammation immediately by using a series of immunosuppressive agents with low side effects. In this way, it can stop further damage to kidneys effectively.
2. Immune complexes are outside pathological substances. Therefore, it is not possible for them to exist in kidneys for too long. Immunotherapy can clear up the immune complexes in blood and degrade the immune deposits in kidneys completely.
What is achievable using immunotherapy?
Eliminate symptoms like proteinuria, hematuria, swelling, high creatinine level etc. Improve renal function by repairing glomeruli. Rebuild immune system.
After the above systemic treatment, the patients with MPGN will have overall health improvement and avoid developing Renal Failure.

What Is the Prognosis of MPGN
Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) is a disease that affects glomeruli of the kidneys. For glomerular injury, it can cause massive proteinuria, swelling, high blood pressure etc. The prognosis of MPGN varies from case to case.
When MPGN is associated with another condition or disease such as systemic lupus erythematosis, hepatitis B or C etc, the symptoms can relieve to some extent by successfully treating the associated condition or disease. However, if the associated disease or condition reoccurs, it will trigger MPGN at once. That is because the underlying cause of MPGN is not eliminated.
Alternatively, if MPGN is considered idiopathic, its prognosis is extremely bad. Up to 50~60% of untreated patients will progress to End Stage Renal Failure within 10~15 years.
Therefore, it is very important for the patients with MPGN to receive treatment as early as possible.
MPGN is an autoimmune disease, in which the immune system can not tell the difference between the stuff inside the body like the healthy organs and stuff outside the body such as germs and other things. As a result, the immune system attacks the kidneys thus impairing glomeruli and causing a series of clinical symptoms.
Therefore, regulating autoimmune process is a vital process in inhibiting MPGN progression. If the immune system is corrected, it will recover the normal function in protecting body.
However, the abnormal immune system has impaired the glomeruli of kidneys and affected their functions. To recover the kidney function, the patients with MPGN should take effective treatment to restore the impaired kidney function.
To achieve the above therapeutic effects, our hospital introduces immunotherapy into the treatment of MPGN after many years'research. Immunotherapy is a comprehensive treatment system including traditional Chinese medicine and advanced Immunotherapy and blood purification etc.
Immunotherapy is a breakthrough in treating MPGN. If you are not familiar with the therapy and want to know more about it, it is free for you to consult us on line.

Polycystic Kidney Disease (Multiple Cysts on Kidneys) Treatment
Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is featured with multiple cysts on kidneys. Without proper treatment, approximately 50% of the patients will develop End Stage Renal Failure by age 60 and have to require dialysis or kidney transplant to extend their life. Therefore, it is very important for the patients with PKD to receive treatment as early as possible.
The common treatments for PKD include LRCD and needle aspiration of the cysts. The two treatment methods can drain the cystic fluid and shrink the cysts. However, Polycystic Kidney Disease patients have multiple cysts in kidneys. Once the dangerous one is removed, the left ones will enlarge more rapidly for more growth room. Therefore, those methods are not recommended to the patients with PKD.
As PKD is a genetic disease, there is no cure for the disease yet. However, the patients can stop the enlargement of cysts by proper treatment. In China, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is popularly used to treat PKD.
Many foreigners may not know this therapy, but you should have heard of Chinese herbal medicines which can date back to the ancient times. Through so many years’ development, we take advantages of the herbal medicine and discard its disadvantages and introduce Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy into the treatment of PKD.
Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is an external therapy. The medicine powder can penetrate into kidney lesions on kidney area directly with the help of modern instrument. Once one hand, it can reduce the simulation to other body organs and systems. On the other hand, it can guarantee the medicines can be absorbed completely by body.
The medicine integrants in Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy are derived from plants and every formula is composed of certain kinds of herbs. Therefore, this therapy is a natural remedy for PKD and are free of side effects completely.
Why Steroids Cause High Blood Sugar in Nephrotic Syndrome
Steroids are commonly used by people with Nephrotic Syndrome. However, long-term hormone therapy is quite prone to elevate blood sugar and even cause Diabetes.
During receiving steroids treatment, if the blood sugar level rises and reach the level of Diabetes, the patients with Nephrotic Syndrome will get confirmed diagnosis of Diabetes. The incidence of Diabetes is as high as 10~40% among the patients receiving long-term steroid treatment. The Diabetes process is similar to Type 2 Diabetes through the following steps:
Insulin resistance--- pancreatic B-cell excretion function is damaged--- ghlcose tolerance is damaged
Steroids can enhance the neoglycogenesis in liver and promote the decomposing of hepatic glycogen and inhibit the use of glucose by the peripheral tissues thus causing blood sugar level to increase. Generally speaking, the elderly, the obese and people with history of Diabetes( how to find Diabetes in early time) are more likely to develop Diabetes. Because this part of people has decline in pancreas islet function or have insulin resistance.
To prevent Diabetes in patients who take steroid treatment, they should monitor their blood glucose level regularly. During the treatment process, they should know the indications and contraindications of hormone so as to choose proper types of hormones.
In a word, if the patients with Nephrotic Syndrome need to use steroid in the long term, they should also take the level of HBALC at least one time in half of a year. HBALC can reflect the blood sugar level within 2~3 months. So it can reflect the blood sugar change more accurately after using steroids.
To avoid Diabetes completely for the patients with Nephrotic Syndrome, they should change the hormone therapy to another new treatment immediately.
If you are sick of the side effects of hormone and do not know how to deal with the relapse of Nephrotic Syndrome, it is free for you to consult us on line.
Do I Need to Treat the Multiple Cysts on Kidneys
Q: Some time ago, I was inspected to have multiple cysts on my kidneys when I take physical examination. I do not have any symptoms at all. Should I receive treatment at once?
A: Primarily, you should know what diseases cause multiple cysts on your kidneys. In clinic, multiple cysts are attributable to Simple Kidney Cysts or Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD).
Simple Kidney Cysts are very common, especially among the elderly above 50 years old. If the cysts are small (below 3 cm) and you do not have any discomforts or symptoms, you need not receive treatment temporarily. You should take B-ultrasound test once in every three months to observe if the cysts are growing or have the tendency of canceration. If the cysts keep enlarging very rapidly, you should receive treatment at once.
PKD is a genetic kidney disorder, in which multiple cysts growing on kidneys. With age, the cysts will enlarge gradually and replace more and more healthy nephrons. More than 50% of the patients with PKD will develop Renal Failure by age 60. As there is no cure for PKD, what the patients can do is to stop the cysts growth to prevent kidney damage through proper treatment.
In western medicine, there is no other treatment option for PKD other than dialysis or kidney transplant. In China, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is applied to treat PKD and has showed a great treatment effect. It can stop the cysts enlargement and shrink the cysts gradually as well as provide some nutrients for the impaired nephrons. In this way, it can prevent PKD from developing into Renal Failure completely.

Can Multiple Cysts in Kidneys Cause Renal Failure
Multiple cysts in kidneys are commonly found in Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD). However, in some cases of Simple Kidney Cysts, the patients may also have multiple cysts in the kidneys.
If multiple cysts are caused by PKD, it is extremely urgent for the patients to receive treatment as early as possible. PKD is a genetic disease featured by multiple fluid-filled cysts growing in kidneys. However, in rare cases, the patients with PKD may not have a family history, but is cased by gene mutation. In early decades of years, the patients do not present symptoms. With age, the cysts will enlarge persistently. Hence, the enlarged cysts will oppress the surrounding healthy nephrons. For insufficient blood and oxgen supply, the nephrons will die. By age 60, more than 50% of the patients with PKD will develop Renal Failure and have to require dialysis or kidney transplant to survive.
However, if the patients with PKD can receive proper treatment as early as possible, they will be able to avoid Renal Failure completely. In China, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is applied to treat PKD and has showed enormous effect on this disease condition.
If the multiple cysts are attributable to Simple Kidney Cysts, the patients can postpone the treatment for the time being when the cysts are below 3 cm. However, the patients should to do regular test to observe if the cysts are growing or have the tendency of canceration. If these two conditions exist, the patients should receive treatment immediately.( How to Lower High Creatinine for Patients with Multiple Kidney Cysts)
Therefore, if you are diagnosed with multiple cysts on in kidneys, you should get confirmed diagnosis firstly and then receive relevant treatment.
If you are diagnosed with multiple cysts in kidneys and do not know the clear cause, you can consult us on line.
Warning Signs of Kidney Shutdown
Kidneys are important organs in body. They are responsible for filtering blood and releasing hormones necessary for red blood production. However, when the kidney shuts down, they can not function normally as before thus resulting in a series of signs. As following:
Urine changes
The kidneys remove the metabolic products from body by producing urine. Therefore, just about any change in the urine can be the early sign of kidney shutdown. If the kidneys shut down, the urine color will turn red, tea-colored or brown for red blood cells. Or there may be foams in urine if the proteins appear in urine.
Swelling
Healthy kidneys remove excess fluid from the blood and use is to create urine. However, when the kidneys shut down, they fail to function normally. As a result, excess fluid will build up in body and permeate into soft tissues thus resulting in swelling. Usually, the swelling primarily appears around the eyelids, ankles and other soft parts.
Anemia
Anemia is a common sign in the patients with kidney shutdown. The healthy kidneys can release hemopoietin which encourages the production of red blood cells. The red blood cells can carry oxygen to every part of body to maintain the normal biological activity. When the kidneys shut down, fewer red blood cells are produced thus triggering anemia.
High blood pressure
Kidneys need a proper blood pressure to filter blood and they can release hormones to help maintain blood pressure. However, when kidneys shutdown, the kidneys can not work normaly thus resulting in high blood pressure. High blood pressure can destroy the capillaries in the kidneys thus aggravating renal damage. High blood pressure can be a cause and sign of kidney shutdown.
The earlier you catch the signs of kidney shutdown, the better your prognosis will be. If you want to know information about kidney shutdown such as its treatment methods, prognosis etc, you can send email to renalhealth@hotmail.com.

New Treatment Option for Nephritis: Immunotherapy
Nephritis refers to the inflammation of filters (glomeruli) in kidneys. It is most commonly caused by autoimmune disorder such as lupus, purpura etc.
In Nephritis, as kidneys are inflamed, they begin to excrete useful proteins from body into urine, which can cause a series of problems such as frequent infections, clotting, poor immunity and even death. Nephritis is the ninth highest cause of human death. Therefore, it is very important to treat Nephritis effectively as early as possible.
The normal immune system can prevent the outside stuffs known as antigens such as germs from invading into body. Therefore, the body can keep healthy and normal.
However, in some cases, the immune system is activated improperly. The immune system can not tell the difference between outside stuffs and those out of body. As a result, the immune system attack kidneys mistakenly thus causing inflammation of glomeruli.
Here immunotherapy is recommended to patients with Nephritis. Immunotherapy aims at regulating autoimmune process and controlling the symptoms of the disease by repairing the impaired glomeruli.
Scientific diagnosis is the first step in treating Nephritis. In immunotherapy, immunological test can not only reflect the severity of the renal damage, but also can test out the harmful substances which cause inflammation of kidneys.
Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can degrade the pathological substances in blood and make them dissolve in blood. Finally, they will be passed out of blood into urine through systemic circulation. Also, the effective medicines in Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can improve the self-healing of the body and enhance immunity. Therefore, it can reduce the occurrence of infections and other health problems.
The immunotherapy can eliminates the inducing factors of kidney inflammation fundamentally and restore the impaired kidneys effectively.
