Renal Failure, also known as kidney failure, is a serious medical condition in which the kidneys are not functioning properly or no longer work at all, so the kidneys are unable to filter wastes, produce urine and maintain fluid balances. This dysfunction causes a build up of toxins in the body which can affect the blood, brain and heart, as well as other complications. Common complications of Renal Failure are as follows:
1. High blood pressure
Through a complex network of hormones and feedback loops, the kidneys control blood pressure. Unfortunately, the dysfunction of this network many cause Renal Failure. In an effort to maintain blood flow through the failing kidneys, hormones trigger increases in blood pressure even when pressures are already high. High blood pressure will aggravate the kidney diseases, and the vicious cycle continues.
2. Anemia
Kidneys have function to produce a hormone called erythropoietin which can stimulate the bones to generate red blood cells. Red blood cells carry oxygen to every part of the body. In Renal Failure, the kidneys produce too little erythropoietin, causing reduced amounts of red blood cells. In this case, patients may suffer from anemia. They will always feel weak and fatigue.
3. Heart failure
Healthy kidneys can regulate the amount of potassium in the blood, but in Renal Failure they may lose that ability, causing dangerously high potassium levels. Actually, potassium plays an important role in regulating the heartbeat. With elevated potassium levels, patients may have irregular heartbeat, which may even lead to death.
4. Electrolyte imbalances
Every part of the body can be affected by Chronic Kidney Failure. Patients may have fluid retention which can result in pulmonary edema or swelling of the extremities and elevated blood pressure. Besides, elevated phosphorus and potassium levels may appear. A sudden rise in potassium levels can lead to heart failure.
5. Infection
Untreated, Acute Renal Failure can lead to infection as the body's immune system or immune response may be unable to function properly. Infection can also result in further complications like malnutrition.
6. Weak bones
Elevated phosphorus levels may lead to decreased calcium levels, so Renal Failure patients will suffer from weak bones and an increased risk for bone fractures.
Effective treatment for Renal Failure can help us prevent the appearance of these complications. Here are our online experts, you can consult them about any questions of kidney disease. It’s a pleasure to help you.
The nation's top kidney experts in our hospital find answer in integrated Chinese-Western medicine. Based on 26 years' experience and expertise in treating Renal Failure, immunotherapy is developed in 2012 as the latest treatment for this condition. Under this treatment, your kidney function can be greatly improved, and then you can live a normal life once again.
How to greatly improve the kidney function with immunotherapy?
Firstly, we need to block further renal injury, promote the renal micro-circulation, and accelerate the repairing of damaged kidneys.
The externally applied Chinese herbs remedy, called Micro-Chinese Medicine can take effects to expanding the blood vessels, inhibit renal inflammatory response, anti-coagulation, and remove blood stasis. In this way, a favorable circumstance can be created.
Secondly, we must protect the healthy nephrons, repair the damaged renal intrinsic cells and tissues, and restore the kidney function. The modern western medical technology-Immunotherapy is applied to recover the renal function, moreover, it can rebuild the immune system.
If Renal Failure is treated from the root cause, your life span can certainly be prolonged in a large degree.
