What Food Can Decrease Creatinine
Creatinine is the product of muscular metabolism in human body and then excretes out of body through kidneys. If patient with the damaged inherent cells in kidney and reduction of detox function, patient’s Creatinine will increase and status of high toxin in the body will affect other systematic functions, such as archenteric discomfort, Anemia, Hypertension and so on. Therefore, as to the patient with high Creatinine, he should pay attention to the diet, but what food can decrease Creatinine? Food can only lighten the burden of kidneys and remit increasing of Creatinine, but it can not decrease the Creatinine.
Effective method for decreasing Creatinine recommends:
Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is to make the active ingredients permeate and spread to the damaged kidney through acupoints, by the way of relaxing the kidney and loose, promoting blood circulation by removing blood stasis, and descending the turbidity and expelling of toxin, with the purpose of dredging the kidney and activating renal function. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can promote and improve the microcirculation of the atrophied and necrotic kidney, speed up the metabolism of pathological kidney, thus giving full play to the active ingredients of the medicine, repairing the damaged glomerulus, enhancing the absorption ability of glomerulus and recovering the normal physiological function of kidney to turn Serum Creatinine and urea nitrogen to normal.
Therefore, patient with high Creatinine should notice the diet.
Low-protein diet
Comparatively speaking, all the vegetables are low-protein food. Beans are rich of protein as well as the leaves of sweet potato.
Low-protein
It can be infused the Albumin. Milk and fish should as the main food, and protein limitation is an important item on treating Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), particularly the Chronic Renal Failure.
Edible salt
Patients should be observed that whether there has Hypertension or Edema. If do, salt should be limited and low-salt or salt-free diet should be separately given to.
Protein
In order to control further exacerbation of renal function, patient should limit protein intake, and choose high quantity protein diet. The intake of protein each day should be controlled between 0.8 grams to 1.0 gram per kg.
Choose the food which is rich in Vitamin A, Vitamin B2 and Vitamin C.
Three Steps in Preventing Hypertensive Kidney Disease
High blood pressure is the secondary leading cause of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). According to some researches, the patients with 5~10 years’ history of high blood pressure, they may have mild or moderate renal arteriosclerosis thus leading to renal ischemia, renal atrophy and even Renal Failure. Therefore, it is very important for the patients to take preventive measures to avoid renal injury, especially those with a long history of high blood pressure.
1. Take urine test regularly
If you are diagnosed with high blood pressure, you should take a systemic exam, especially if you are accompanied by Diabetes, coronary disease, gouty, hyperuricemia and hyperlipemia to find if you have renal injury. In the later days, you should take urine test regularly. If the first renal function test does not show renal abnormality in glomerular filtration rate, it is ok to take urine routine exam and urine microalbumin exam one time in a year.
2. Watch out for increased urination at night
If you have a poor control of high blood pressure, it will injure renal tubule resulting in renal tubule dysfunction and leading to increased urination at night. It is a very important sign of Hypertensive Kidney Disease. Once you go to toilet more than 3 times and even five times, you should go for urine test at once. If you have urine microalbumin, it proves that you have mild renal injury and should receive treatment in time.
3. Control blood pressure effectively
The patients with Hypertensive Kidney Disease should choose those medications lowering blood pressure and protecting kidney function and reduce proteinuria at the same time. The patients with high blood pressure without kidney injury should keep their blood pressure within 140/90 mmHg. However, for the patients with Hypertensive Kidney Disease, they should lower their blood pressure to 130/80 mmHg. For the elderly patients, they can have a loose control of their blood pressure and keep the systolic pressure at about 150 mmHg.
If you can control you blood pressure within the target levels, you will be able to avoid renal injury. However, if you have renal injury, you should receive treatment in time so as to prevent it from developing into serious stage.

How Do You Get Acute Uric Acid Nephropathy
Acute Uric Acid Nephropathy refers to kidney function decreases rapidly caused by high levels of uric acid in the urine. How do you get Acute Uric Acid Nephropathy and how to prevent it? This article will give you a clear response.
It is very common among the patients with myeloproliferative disorders and malignant tumor, especially after chemotherapy. Acute Uric Nephropathy is caused by renal tubular obstruction by urate and uric acid crystal. Under the influence of chemotherapeutic agents or radiation therapy, a lot of nucleotides are dissolved and cell lysis occurs. As a result, the uric acid level rises in a short time and may exceed 1000 umol/l. When the high uric acid level exceeds the clearance ability of kidneys, the uric acid crystals will deposit in collecting duct, pelvis and even ureter.
The crystal deposition causes increased tubular pressure, increased intrarenal pressure and extrinsic compression of the small diameter renal venous network. As a result, the resistance in renal vessels increases and the renal blood flow decreases. The increased tubular pressure and declined renal blood flow cause a decline in glomerular filtration and lead to oligoanuric Acute Renal Failure.
In order to avoid Acute Uric Acid Nephropathy, the patients with leukemia, lymphoma, multiple myeloma and other malignant tumor should take allopurinol before undergoing chemotherapy. In chemotherapy, they should keep enough water intakes and guarantee their urine output volume reaches 2000~3000 ml per day. Moreover, they should alkalify urine. If necessary, they should take some diuretic to increase the urine output.
Moreover, in some cases, acute gout also can lead to Acute Uric Acid Nephropathy. If you have a prehistory of acute gout and have abnormal symptoms like decreased urine output, you should go to relative exam to find if you have renal injury.

Matters Needing Attention for Dropping Blood Pressure
Hypertension is not just a symptom of the disease of Polycystic kidney Disease (PKD).if it can’t be controlled well in time, it will aggravate the condition of this disease and then the hypertension will be aggravated as return. Thus a vicious circle takes its shape. While, during the dropping of the blood pressure, there are some matters needing attention of the patients:
First, avoid dropping blood pressure blindly: before the dropping of the blood pressure, we must make clear whether the hypertension is caused by polycystic kidney disease or other factors, such as pheochromocytoma, hypercortisolism, toxaemias of pregnancy, disease of main artery and so on. Only by knowing the real cause of the hypertension can we adopt effective treatment methods.
Second, don’t refer to other patients’ medicine dose and prescriptions: patients must adopt reasonable and scientific medicine prescription according to your own illness condition. and pay attention to the individual difference.
Third, except the slight or the new-appearing hypertension, patients had better not just adopt a single medicine. Patients had better adopt drug combination and multiple-therapy in order to reduce the dose of every kind of medicine and decrease the side-effects of the medicine.
Forth, insist on long-term and reasonable taking medicine and test the blood pressure regularly, so as to adjust the dose of medicine according to the change and consolidate the therapeutic effects. And avoid stopping medicine suddenly to prevent from the relapse of the blood pressure.
Fifth, avoid the fluctuation of the emotion; have a good rest and keep a happy mood. Besides, regular daily life and proper exercise are good for the treatment of the patients
Sixth, patients with hypertension must stop smoking and drinking. And don’t eat too much and take in food that is too greasy.

Can We Give Protein Rich Food to Nephrotic Children
For children with kidney disease, their kidneys do not work as they should; they cannot function properly to filter fluids and wastes. Eating protein rich food will worsen their kidney function as the body may have trouble eliminateing all the waste products of protein metabolism.
To prevent aggravation of kidney damage, it may be necessary to reduce the amount of protein in the diet. Parents can ask their dietitian or consult our online doctor for free help about the exact protein intake.
In general, persons with kidney disease are recommended to follow a diet low in sodium, potassium, phosphorus, and fluid, etc. Because each individual case of illness differs, exact recommendations may vary with specific characteristics and level of kidney function. To determine the specific diet and nutrients needs, it is important to work closely with the doctor.

Best Treatment for Nephrotic Syndrome—Immunotherapy
Nephrotic syndrome is usually considered as a chronic kidney disease. People should have to take medicines for their whole life. However, it is indeed an effective treatment which can treat it from the root and people can cast from long torture.
Immunotherapy focuses on the improvement of immune system. In most cases, nephrotic syndrome is caused by the disordered immune system in patients. When people have some infections, the immune complexes formed during the immunoreaction will be removed by the normal immune system. However, in patients with nephrotic syndrome, they cannot be removed and have to deposit in the kidney tissues. And then a new renal inflammation occurs and results in a further damage.
However, the mistake in immune system cannot be found exactly, which affects the treatment success. In our hospital, advanced test equipment can tell what is wrong in immune system and where the immune complexes deposit in kidney tissues. All these test reports determine a correct treatment.
In our hospital, Immunotherapy makes full use of Chinese herbs to regulate the immune system. Chinese herbs are favor to make all the organs and tissues function well. It contains the external application of Chinese herbs and oral Chinese medicine. The former one is used to degrade immune complexes and discharge them through urine, which can block renal inflammation from the root. So kidney tissues can avoid a further damage. This method to take Chinese medicine is called Micro-Chinese medicine Osmotherapy which is one of the individualized treatments in our hospital. It brings about no side effect and sufferings. Patients can enjoy the best effect just by lying on the bed with two little medicine bags in the kidney region.
Besides, the latter one can supply more nutrition for the body in order to promote more blood and oxygen to kidney tissues. Thereby kidney cells can be repaired more quickly. The two methods combine with each other for a better curative effect.

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 ( treating Nephrotic Sydnrome with Immunotherapy) 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.

Is Chinese Medicine Capable to Treat Nephrotic Syndrome
More and more start to adopt Chinese medicine to treat various disease and get a good curative effect. Some patients with nephrotic syndrome are willing to have a try. Is Chinese medicine capable to treat Nephrotic Syndrome?
Chinese medicine is suitable to nephrotic syndrome
Chinese medicine refers to herbs or plants from the nature. With Chinese medicine theory, physicians will give them a comprehensive prescription to regulate all the tissues and organs function. So it does not only treat disease in kidneys but also improve other organs’ function to help kidney to recover. That is the reason why people feel comfortable around the whole body after Chinese medicine therapy.
Nephrotic syndrome is mainly characterized with a large amount of protein leakage because of destroy in kidney tissues caused by furious renal inflammation. So people need to improve their own initial immune system to put off the inflammation in order to reduce the damage in kidneys. Chinese medicine can help people to regulate immune system to protect kidney tissues.
Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy has a better effect
Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is a special method to take Chinese medicine instead of oral administration. In this therapy, Chinese medicine is super-finely shattered by devices and is put into little bags. The medicine ingredients can be permeated into kidney lesions through skin with the help of devices and penetrating fluid. For it is an external application, people would get no hurt and side effect from Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy.
Only after one or two weeks’ treatment, the excessive ECM and immune complexes which cause renal inflammation can be removed from kidney tissues. Patients can find some substances like floc in their urine. That proves the inflammation is blocked from the root. Furthermore, Chinese medicine can provide essential elements for the recovery of kidney tissues. So patients would not have protein leakage and get a better kidney function after a comprehensive therapeutic schedule for them.

Watch out for Complications of Nephrotic Syndrome
Nephrotic Syndrome is not an isolated disease, but a syndrome mainly characterized with a large amount of proteinuria, serious swelling, hyperlipemia and hypoproteinemia. Without timely effective treatments, it will cause a series of complications.
1. Infection: Nephrotic Syndrome may cause diplococcal pneumonitis, peritonitis or sepsis. As the patients often have protein malnutrition, low IgG level and complement protein level. Therefore, the white blood function decreases, which can cause the immunity to decline.
2. Acute Renal Failure: As the patients often lose a large amount of protein loss in urine, it can cause the albumin level in blood to decrease. Consequently, the plasma oncotic pressure decreases and the effective circulating blood volume decreases. As a result, the glomerular filtration rate decreases.
3. Thrombopoiesis :The activity of antithrombotic factors declines so the aggregation ability and glutinousness of blood rise. Moreover, low protein level and high fat level in blood can make blood become thick. Arteriosclerosis can damage wall of blood vessels, which can cause the blood hypercoagulable state. As a result, the patients often have renal vein embolism.
4. Malnutrition : As Nephrotic Syndrome often loss a large amount of protein in urine, it is very likely to cause protein malnutrition thus resulting in amyotrophy and development disorder for children. In addition, the lost proteins combine with microelements such as zinc, bronze and so on. Therefore, the patients with Nephrotic Syndrome often have hypozincemia, weak immunity, and anemia and so on.
5. Blood vessels diseases : Long term hyperlipidemia, especially low-density lipoprotein can lead to coronary thrombosis.
6. Abnormal renal tubule function : A large of proteins flow into proximal tubule, it can cause tubule disorder. The patients with Nephrotic Syndrome may have renal glucosuria, acidaminuria and proximal renal tubular acidosis.
The above has introduced the common complications of Nephrotic Syndrome, some of which can threaten the patients’ lives seriously. Therefore, the patients should receive treatments as early as possible so as to avoid its complications.

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.
Immunotherapys are a group of undifferentiated primitive cells that have the potential of long-term, self-replication, high proliferation and multiple-directional differentiation. After the Immunotherapy are infused into body through vein, they can differentiate into renal functional cells and repair the damaged renal tissues. Once they are paired very well, the kidneys will recover the normal filtration function and be able to prevent the protein leakage into urine. Afterwards, the edema will disappear.
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.

Nephrotic Syndrome: Causes, Symptoms, Treatment
Nephrotic Syndrome is an autoimmune disease. Our immune system is constituted of the innate immune system and the back-up immune system. When the innate immune system fails to fight against the intrusion of pathogenic substances, the back-up system will be activated. After the intrusion is removed, the back-up system will stop working and the innate immune system work alone.
However, if the innate immune system has some disorders, it may continue sending signals to the back-up system, and the back-up system cannot stop working, there will be excessive immune reaction. The immune complex will deposit on the kidneys, so the immune reaction will continue in the kidneys and cause damage to our healthy kidney cells. That's why people have Nephrotic Syndrome.
Symptoms
● Swelling (edema)
● Foamy, or bubbly urine
● Weight gain
● Lack of appetite
● Constant fatigue
● Blood clotting problems
Treatment
Treatment of Nephrotic Syndrome depends on the underlying disorder. Medications like steroids are often used to dampen down the immune system. Specific medications are taken by patients to control high blood pressure and decrease swelling.
Immunotherapy is used to treat Nephrotic Syndrome from the root. This therapy may consist of:
● Brand new immunosuppressants
● Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy
● Immunotherapy
● Immune clearance: immunosorption, plasmapheresis and blood purification
Features
● No toxin or side effects-natural treatments.
● Prevention of recurrence-eliminate various symptoms and treat the disease from the root.
● Life quality improved-immunotherapy can enhance the body’s immune system and help to restore the immune function and improve the life quality.
Complications of Primary Nephritic Syndrome
Primary Nephritic Syndrome is caused by Primary Glomerular Disease. If the patients can not get proper treatment in time, it will cause a series of complications.
1. Infection
The patients with Primary Nephritic Syndrome usually have the following problems:
(1) hypoproteinemia;
(2) body resistance declines
(3) immune globulin and complements lose in urine, which can influence patients’ immunity
(4) using hormone frequently can increase patients’ susceptivity
The above factors are the main inducements of inspection, especially respiratory tract infection and urinary tract infection.
2. Thrombus and embolism
For patients with Primary Nephrotic Syndrome, the change in their blood coagulation, platelet system makes blood keep hypercoagulability. Moreover, insufficiency blood volume, hyperlipidaemia and so on make the blood viscosity increase and some medicines also can aggravate hypercoagulability. Therefore, the patients are very likely to have thrombus and embolism.
3. Hyperlipidaemia
Some patients with Primary Nephritic Syndrome have hyperlipidaemia over time, which can cause atherosclerosis thus causing cerebrovascular diseases.
4. Hypoproteinemia
For patients with Primary Nephritic Syndrome, their bodies can not get enough protein over time, which can cause them to have emaciation, amyotrophy, malnutrition so the children will stop growing up. As the patients lose mass of protein in their urine, vitamin D3 and microelements can not get their conjugate so the patients’ bodies can not get sufficient vitamin D3 and microelements such as iron, zinc, copper and so on. As a result, the patients often have hypocalcemia, and microelement insufficiency.
5. Kidney damage
For water leaking into subcutaneous tissue and coelom, it can cause circulating blood volume to become insufficient. Therefore, kidneys can not get enough blood supplements thus causing prerenal axotemia. In some cases, the patients may have Acute Renal Failure.

How to Know Your Child Has Nephrotic Syndrome or Not
Kidneys are important organs in body. They can filter the metabolic wastes and extra water out of body and preserve what the body need in blood. However, in Nephrotic Syndrom, the kidneys leak protein, which normally stay in blood into urine. For the protein in urine, the patients will have a series of symptoms. If your child has the following symptoms, you should pay more attention to their kidneys’ condition.
1. There is much foam in his or her urine and persists for a long time. If your child has this abnormal symptom, it is very likely to be caused by protein loss in urine.
2. The protein level in blood is lower than the normal level.
3. They have swelling around his or her eyes, faces, ankle or feet. This may be caused by the retention of water and sodium in body. In this case, his or her body weight increases obviously.
4. She or he has increased urination at night for no specific reasons.
In your child has the above abnormal symptoms persistently, you should doubt if she or he has Nephritic Syndrome and do further examination.
1. Urine test: Usually, your child needs a urine test for protein. If the first test shows a high level of protein, it can not prove your child certainly have Nephritic Syndrome. The doctor needs to test the urine again so as to get a definite diagnose.
2. Blood test: The child also needs a blood test to look at the levels of electrolytes, protein, creatinine level and blood urea nitrogen in his or her blood. These tests can tell whether your child Nephrotic Syndrome or the symptoms are caused by other causes.
3. Renal biopsy: Sometimes, the doctor may ask your child to take a kidney biopsy. It can help show which type of Nephrotic Syndrome your child has.
If your child is diagnosed with Nephrotic Syndrome, you should choose an effective therapy for them at once for it can cause serious renal damage. In the conventional therapies, the children only use hormone to alleviate the symptoms. Although the children can recover for a short time, it is very likely to relapse even they has a mild infection such as colds. What's worse, hormone has too many side effects to the child. It can cause hypoevolutismus, high blood sugar, and renal high blood pressure and so on. Therefore, for your child' healthy growth, all children should avoid using hormone.

How to Prevent MPGN Type 2 (DDD) Progressing into Renal Failure
MPGN type 2 stands for Membranoproliferative Glomerulonephritis type II. It is also known as dense deposit disease (DDD). It affects more children than adults. Approximately 50% of persons with type 2 MPGN develop Renal Failure 10 years after diagnosis and hyave to require dialysis or kidney transplant to survive.
How does MPGN type 2 occur?
Most instances of MPGN type 2 are caused by other diseases or disorders, including autoimmune disease such as systemic lupus erythematosis (SLE), chronic infections like hepatitis B etc.
MPGN type 2 is an autoimmune disease, in which the immune system attacks filters (glomeruli) in kidneys mistakenly. When the outside harmful substances such s lupus virus, hepatitis B virus invade into body as antigens, the antibodies in body fail to defeat them immediately for autoimmune disorder. As a result, the antigens and antibodies bind to each other and form immune complexes in blood and flow into kidneys through circulation.
Afterwards, the immune complexes attract inflammatory factors ceaselessly thus impairing the filters in kidneys and causing mesangial cell proliferation. If the immune complexes can not be removed and the inflammation keeps going on, the kidneys will fail at a very fast speed.
How to prevent MPGN type 2 developing Renal Failure?
As mentioned above, the patients may develop Renal Failure within several years after the diagnosis. It is urgent for the patients to receive proper treatment as early as possible.
In China, the combination of Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy and Immunotherapy is applied to treat MPGN type 2 and has showed an enormous effect.
The therapeutic mechanism of the therapy is as flows:
Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy:
1. Dilate blood vessels: It can improve the microcirculation in kidneys to relieve the renal ischemia and anoxia.
2. Anti-inflamation: It can reduce the inflammatory factors to infiltrate into kidneys. Hence, it can prevent further damage to mesangial cells.
3. Degradation: It can degrade the immune complexes in membrane and mesangial area. Finally, the degraded immune complexes will be passed out of body in urine.
As a result, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can make a favorable environmental for repairing the impaired kidney cells.
Immunotherapy
Immunotherapy refers to infusion of healthy cells into the body of the patients with MPGN type 2. Immunotherapys are a class of primitive cells with potentials of differentiation. In right body condition, they can differentiate into new cells with specialized function to replace the diseased cells to function.
After Immunotherapy are infused into body, they can differentiate into new kidney cells with the help of inducing agents to replace the impaired and necrotic cells to function. As a result, the kidneys will be restored very well.
Moreover, Immunotherapy can stimulate the body to produce normal immune cells to rebuild the new immune system. Hence, it will be able to eliminate the relapse problem of MPGN type 2.

Why Cold Lead to Nephrotic Syndrome for Children
Before diagnoses as Nephrotic Syndrome, many children are usually found some infections, such as cold or other inflammations. This confuses their parents that why a cold or an inflammation leads to Nephrotic Syndrome. To explain this clearly, let us see our immune system first.
What are the functions of immune system?
Our immune system is like a precision force which protects our health for 24 hours without stop every day. It is a great masterpiece and can deploy uncountable and different functions of armies to take complex tasks every second. It can not only protect us from the harm of foreign invaders, but also can prevent canceration caused by changes of cells in our body. If there are no protection of our immune system, even a dust can give us death.
How does immune system work?
When pathogenic micro-organisms, such as bacterial and virus, enter our body, macrophages in our immune system attack firstly and take those intruders into their belly and then divide them into pieces of fragment. They present those fragment on their surface to indicate they have swallowed the invasion bacterial and let T-cell know. When T-cells meet with macrophages bringing fragments, they react immediately just like the lock meets the key. Then, macrophages produce a substance whose mainly function is to activate the T-cell. No sooner the wake of T-cells than it gives the whole immune system alarm that there are some intruders. After that, immune system sends destruction T lymphocytes which can search those infected human cells and destroy them like killers to prevent their further reproduction.
Why cold lead to Nephrotic Syndrome for child?
Cold is belongs to infection and it also cased by some bacterial or virus and when the body get cold, our immune system sends force to defeat those the bacterial or virus. However, children have a low immune system, so the immune cells contain the bacterial or virus temporary forming immune complexes instead of killing them. Those immune complexes follow blood circulation and deposit on glomerular basement membrane when the blood flows through the kidneys. This deposition damages the kidneys and leads the appearance of proteinuria, eventually leads the occurrence of Nephrotic Syndrome.
What should we do to remedy from Nephrotic Syndrome?
It is obvious that the causes of Nephrotic Syndrome is the damaged glomeruli, hence, if the damaged glomeruli are repaired, Nephrotic Syndrome disappears automatically.

Symptoms of Kidney Damage Secondary to Polycystic Kidney Disease
The cysts of PKD (Polycystic Kidney Disease) patients will surely cause damage to the kidneys, leading to a lot of symptoms. Those symptoms will in turn aggravate the kidney damage.
1. High blood pressure
Usually, high blood pressure is the primary symptom of PKD patients. High blood pressure secondary to PKD will surely aggravate the kidney damage. Patients with PKD and High Blood Pressure have a higher risk of developing cardiovascular diseases.
2. Proteinuria ( protein in urine)
For patients with PKD, the incidence of proteinuria reaches up to eight percent. Proteinurina is caused by the continuous growth of cysts causing damage to the glomerular membrane, which loses its normal function of filtering wastes, proteins and other substances.
3. Hematuria (blood in urine)
As for PKD patients, hematuria can be caused by the following two reasons. One is the rupture of the cysts and the other is the damage of glomerular filtration membrane.
4. Enlarged kidneys
With increase of cysts in both number and size, kidneys will enlarge and lead to unbalanced development of two kidneys. Additionally, kidney functions will decrease day by day with the enlargement of kidneys.
5. Abdominal lumps

Nephrotic Syndrome: Is Gluten, Dairy and Egg Free Diet Really Good to Prevent Relapses
When getting nephrotic syndrome, patients are also troubled with the tones of protein in urine and would confused what to do about the diet. In the website, some people suggested that gluten, dairy and egg free diet can help patients to get rid of protein in urine. Is it real method?
Nephrotic syndrome
Nephrotic syndrome is a performance of serious kidney disease. In these cases, patients’ kidney tissues especially glomeruli have been damaged. Glomeruli are a ball of tiny blood vessels that can filter blood and discharge toxic substances. However, the membranes in many glomeruli are damaged, so some blood components can be leaked from the broken in membranes. Due to this protein leakage, many other symptoms are aroused, such as hypoproteinemia, hyperlipidaemia and severe swelling. Over time, it may develop into renal failure to threaten patients’ lives.
Can gluten, dairy and egg free diet remove protein in urine?
Gluten, dairy and eggs are very common foods in the daily diet and they will supply much protein for our body in order to rebuild tissues or organs or produce antibody to improve immunity.
However, these foods also need to be metabolized, resulting in producing many wastes. These toxic substances are discharged from kidneys, so more protein foods would increase the burden of kidney and kidney tissues are easily damaged due to overwork.
Although this diet plan is helpful to remove protein in urine, it cannot repair the damaged kidney tissues. Thereby protein will be leaked out in urine again once they retrieve their normal diet. Some patients may be willing to keep this diet, but low protein diet may lead to weak immunity of patients. So patients would get worse kidney disease or other diseases.
Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is introduced to you. It is a natural herbs therapy and an external application, hence, no side effect presents in patients. Furthermore, it can provide nutrition and essential elements for kidney recovery. Once kidney is restored, patients can get a normal diet as the normal people. I hope this therapy can help you.
