How can I Stop Protein in Urine with Nephrotic Syndrome Naturally

Protein is one of the three main chemicals that make up human body and an important part of the plasma of the blood, so the body does not want to lose it. When the body remove waste products through the kidneys, proteins are kept in the blood, because they are too large to pass through the tiny holes in the kidney filters - Glomeruli. However, in Nephrotic Syndrome, the filters are damaged and protein can pass into the urine.

How does protein in urine occur in NS?

The glomeruli act as filters to eliminate waste products from the blood stream, which is then excreted from the body in the urine. In NS, an immune disease, the abnormal immune system attacks and damages the glomeruli, and these filters become defective and leak, allowing 3 grams or more of protein to get lost into the urine when measured over a 24-hour period, which is more than 20 times the amount that healthy glomeruli allow.

What are the complications of protein in urine with NS?

Edema. Protein in the blood acts to prevent water entering the body's cells. Decreased serum protein levels lead water leaks into body tissue, causing swelling (oedema).

Hypertension, or high blood pressure. Kidney disease commonly result in high blood pressure. This increases the risk of further renal disease, also the risk of heart attack and stroke.

High cholesterol level in the blood. If this exists over a period of years, there is an increased risk of a heart attack.

How can I stop protein in urine with NS naturally?

The underlying cause of this problem is treatable with the latest Immunotherapy. With this systemic therapy, patients can get rid of Urine Protein naturally.

Immunotherapy aims at treat kidney problems from the perspective of regulating the immune system. So it is a fundamental solution. With this treatment, the damaged glomeruli can be repaired over time, and symptoms of NS will disappear naturally.

What does It Mean When Your Leg Hurt in Chronic Kidney Disease

"I am 68 years old with a 25-year history of Type 2 Diabetes, a protein in urine level of 1.1g on a recent 24-hour urinalysis, and a calculated creatinine clearance of 40 mL/min/1.73m2 (CKD Stage 3) presents with complaints of a burning sensation in both of my legs. The burning pain has progressively worsened over the past several weeks and is now impairing my ability to sleep at night. What causes my leg hurt? "

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is reported to have some connection with leg hurt and some people feel it is just coincidental, but it is none the case. Causes of your problem include conditions as below:

1. Nerve damage from Diabetes

Patients with longstanding, poorly controlled diabetes may suffer from damage of tiny blood vessels and nerves. Usually, diabetics are suggested to examine their feet for any signs of damage.

2. Iron deficiency or anemia

Iron deficiency or anemia is a common complication of CKD. Normal, the kidneys can make erythropoietin (EPO), a hormone that helps generate red blood cells. If the kidneys are impaired, they make little or no EPO. With low iron levels and less red blood cells, anemia may appear and get worse as the kidney disease progresses. Most patients with kidney failure will have anemia.

3. Low parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels

Leg pain in Chronic kidney disease may be associated with low PTH levels, as patients with kidney disease are at risk for bone disease. PTH regulates the amount of calcium and phosphorus in bone and blood. If there is low level of this hormone, and patients may present low blood calcium levels and experience symptom like leg pain.

In order to be treated for leg hurt in Chronic Kidney Disease, we must firstly make an accurate diagnosis and find the exact cause. If you are suffering from this uncomfortable or painful symptom, consult our online expert who can provide you with a detailed analysis and the best treatment option.

Treat Diabetic Kidney Disease and Creatinine 2.1 without Dialysis

"I have diagnosed with creatinine level 2.1 and urea level of 52. I am diabetic. How serious is the matter? Will I require dialysis? What's the best and most effective treatment if any?"

According to your description, you have Diabetes and the serum creatinine level is 2.1. The level is a little higher, which suggests that more than 50% of your renal function has been damaged. What are the causes of your kidney damage?
High blood sugar levels will result in high filtration of the tiny filters of the kidneys - glomeruli. The glomeruli will regulate itself and shrink the afferent arteriole, thus causing short supply of blood and oxygen to the kidneys.
Consequently, the renal tubules and interstitium will be firstly damaged and patients may experience frequent urination at night.

Left untreated, there will be glomerular sclerosis and renal fibrosis. So, the levels of blood sugar and blood pressure have to be well controlled.

At present, you do not have to undergo dialysis. However, if your kidney function declines to less than 15%, you have to receive this renal replacement therapy. Early effective treatment is of great importance to stop the progression of the illness.

Here, we'd like to recommend you the best and most effective treatment- Immunotherapy. This therapy is used to help regulate the whole immune system and sugar metabolism disorders. Immunotherapy can treat diabetic kidney disease and creatinine 2.1 without dialysis with treatments as below:

Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy

This is a kind of external application. The main functions of this therapy include: improve the blood circulation, promote the blood flow to the kidneys and provide abundant nutrients to accelerate the kidney repair.

Immunotherapy

Based on the curative effects of herbal therapy, Immunotherapy is applied to protect the remaining kidney function and repair the damaged renal cells, thus recovering the normal renal function.

According to personalized condition, other advanced technologies like blood purification, plasma exchange, etc are also involved in the treatment process.

With prompt treatment of Immunotherapy, you have great change to recover from Diabetic Kidney Disease and avoid further dialysis.

Natural Treatment for FSGS with Gout in China

"Prior to my husband finding out he has FSGS, he was diagnosed with Gout. His uric acid level was 12.2. He is now Stage 5 CKD, FSGS and not currently on dialysis. His GFR is approx. 15%. What treatment were you able to do? Any non medicine treatments available that don't hurt the kidneys?"

A natural remedy called Immunotherapy can treat FSGS and gout effectively with no side effect to the body. For people with CKD Stage 5, this therapy can also help them avoid dialysis with prompt treatment. So, you can consider resorting to this new therapy.

In order to give a detailed explanation of the treatment mechanism, let's firstly have a general knowledge about your disease.

How does your husband get gout and FSGS?

Both of the diseases are immunological diseases that occur due to immune disorder.

Gout occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks native organs, especially joint, kidney and skin. With much blood uric acid, the crystal may block the narrow blood vessels or deposit in the joints. Patients may experience symptoms like pain with sudden onset, hot, red, swollen joint, particularly in the feet of the bog toe.

In FSGS, the patient's own immune system attacks the healthy kidney tissue and cells mistakenly, leading to symptoms like edema, Urine Protein, high blood pressure, etc.

Immunotherapy for gout and FSGS

Immunotherapy is the best treatment for autoimmune diseases like gout and FSGS. Under this treatment, patients can expect curative effects as below:

1. Symptoms including joint pain, protein in urine will be relieved;

2. Immune ability of the body gets improved. This therapy can rectify the immune dysfunction and regulate the immune system, thus avoiding further damage to native tissues;

3. Renal function can be significantly improved. While blocking further kidney damage, diseased renal intrinsic cells and tissues will get repaired over time, so kidney function can be largely recovered. Stage 5 CKD can even avoid dialysis in the future.

Can a Person Live after a Kidney Transplant with IgA Nephropathy

IgA Nephropathy is caused by deposition of the protein immunoglobulin A (IgA) inside the filters within the kidney - glomeruli. It is a chronic kidney disease that may progress over a period of 10~20 years, and can lead to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in which a kidney transplant may be needed. Then, can a person live after this transplant surgery?

The transplant is considered successful if IgAN doesn't occur in the new transplanted kidney. However, so far, there is not a referenced number to demonstrate the successful rate of the disease. What's worse, IgAN may come back in the new kidney.

Study suggests that if all post-transplant IgAN patients receive a biopsy, this disorder would be detected to recur in up to 50% of cases within the first 10 years. After 10 to 20 years, the disease possibly occur in 100% of them, and about 5 to 10% of patients may lose their transplanted kidney.

Why will IgAN relapse after the transplant?

The recurrence of the disease is associated with the immune system. IgAN occurs as a result of immune dysfunction, but the kidney transplant merely aims at replacing the damaged kidneys other than correct the abnormal immune system. Therefore, whether you receive a donated kidney, the immune deficiency will undoubtedly lead to kidney impairment. Even after the surgery, patients cannot live a normal life.

Is there any choice for IgAN patients to live a better life?

Since we have be clear about the mechanism of the disease, the best therapy should focus on repairing the kidney impairment and rectifying the immune disorder.


Here, I'd like to recommend a new therapy in China known as Immunotherapy. As a holistic treatment for IgAN, this therapy can regulate the overall immune system and eliminate root cause. With prompt treatment in the early stages, patients can avoid a dialysis or a kidney transplant. For your better recovery, you can call +86 311 8926-2305 or e-mail to kidney-support@hotmail.com .

Is It Okay to Stop Dialysis for CKD with Creatinine 2.75

Creatinine is a kind of endotoxin usually caused by decreased excretion of the protein metabolism and products via urine. Increased creatinine is mainly caused by Renal Failure or decreased kidney function. Is it okay to stop dialysis for CKD patients with creatinine 2.75?

CKD with Creatinine 2.75

Chronic kidney disease occurs when the kidneys are impaired and cannot properly work to cleanse the blood by removing extra wastes and fluid. Measuring serum creatinine, a waste which comes from the muscle, is a good indicator of overall kidney health. The normal range of it in the blood is between 0.6~1.2mg/dL.
In general, the creatinine level doesn't rise until at least 50% of the kidney function has been damaged or destroyed. For people with creatinine 2.75, their renal function has been seriously damaged, so the kidneys are not able to excrete wastes as normal.

Dialysis

Dialysis is often suggested to people with creatinine 2.0 (infants) and 5.0 (adults), and they are recommended to start dialysis to help them eliminate the toxins. Otherwise, the degree for this treatment may vary from country to country. Also, a comprehensive indexes should also be taken into considerations.

Is it okay to stop dialysis for CKD with creatinine 2.75?

In this condition, patients have great hope to stop dialysis with prompt treatment which can help stop the aggravation of the illness. If the renal function reduces to lower than 15%, dialysis has to be carried out to sustain one's life.

The alternative treatment for CKD with creatinine 2.75 is known as Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy. This therapy can help treat CKD effectively. Treatment effects are as below:

● Block the decline of kidney function and stop the process of CKD;

● Ameliorate the symptoms of patients like tiredness, poor appetite and itching, etc;

● Protect the remaining kidney function and renal cells;

● Supply rich nutrients to speed up the kidney repair process.


After period time of treatment with Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy, patients can stop dialysis naturally.

Chinese Cure for Kidney Failure

Bad kidneys refer to damaged kidneys or failed kidneys. If uncontrolled effectively, bad kidneys will lose their ability to filter blood and maintain the internal environment gradually. Chinese cure has fewer side effects, so patients with damaged kidneys want to find some Chinese therapies.

Until now, Chinese medicines and therapies have been used for more than 3,000 years to treat various diseases. In recent years, Chinese medicine has been used more and more widely to treat chronic kidney disease. Follow me to find some Chinese cures for bad kidneys.

1. TCM therapies

There are seven TCM therapies that can support the effects of Chinese medicines. They are Acupuncture, Hot Compress Therapy, Foot Bath, Medicated Bath, and so on. These therapies can improve patients' immune ability, prompt blood circulation, cleanse the blood, etc. All of these are beneficial to treat bad kidneys.

Although these therapies are helpful to treat bad kidneys, it doesn't mean all patients can use them. It is better to have a further talk with doctors, and then you can determine whether you can use it.

2. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy

Traditional Chinese medicine is usually oral taking, so patients have to bear its bitter taste. Furthermore, these medicines commonly need a little long time to work. In view of this, kidney experts try to create a therapy that can prevent these disadvantages. Finally, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is created. As one external application of TCM, this therapy can make the effective ingredients of Chinese medicine work more quickly. Besides, it can improve patients' kidney function level and GFR level obviously.


How About the New Treatment of Kidney Failure

On the basis of comprehensive diagnosis and the root causes of your diseases, we create the following featured therapies on treatment of renal failure.

Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy

(The root cause of renal failure is fibrosis and hardening of glomeruli. Fibrosis is triggered by the micro-circulation disturbance, which results in ischemia and oxygen deficiency. Ischemia and oxygen deficiency incur renal endothelial cells damages, consequently, damaged endothelial cells will attract inflammatory cells infiltration and release pathologic inflammatory mediators. Under this circumstance, fibrosis can be activated. So blockage of fibrosis becomes vital point to treat renal failure.)

Micro-Chinese Medicine can dilate blood vessels and improve blood circulation, which solve the micro-circulation disturbance fundamentally. Moreover, Micro-Chinese Medicine is anti-inflammatory. So it is able to protect endothelial cells from being infiltration by inflammatory cells. Last but not the least, Micro-Chinese Medicine can help anti-coagulation and anti-thrombosis.

From aforementioned, Micro-Chinese Medicine is able to blocking the fibrosis. In other word, the blockage of fibrosis can contribute to prevent the condition from progressing to Renal Failure.

Immunotherapy

There are six steps of immunotherapy to treat renal failure.
The first one is taking a comprehensive diagnosis with the aid of our most-advanced equipments and software system. After patients hospitalize in our hospital, a comprehensive diagnosis will be arranged. It lays a solid foundation for later treatment.

The second step is using brand-new medicine.

We create a blocking approach to restrain the immune inflammatory reaction rapidly.

Third one is immune tolerance.

By making the kidneys accept the fact that immune complexes deposit in the kidneys and renal intrinsic cells are damaged. The aim is to prevent the reoccurrence of immoderate inflammatory reaction and protect renal intrinsic cells from being damaged again.

Fourth one is called immune-regulation.

Through Traditional Chinese medicine trigeminy stereo therapy which mainly contains promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, we can get rid of the immune complex. On the other hand, through the medicine that can warm and nourish air and blood in Chinese Medicine Preparation, we can enhance human immunity and the ability to clear away pathogenic foreign matter.

Fifth one is immune protection.

In this phase, we'll spare no effort to take measures in protecting the damaged intrinsic cells and tissues. The core purpose is to protect during the course of treatment, meanwhile, to treat during the course of protection. What we are doing is to repair the damaged cells and rebuild the tissues and organic system.

Last one is immune clearance.
The treatment methods include: immunoadsorbent technique, plasma exchange, blood purification.

Renal Failure: You don't need A Kidney Donor

Fully functioning kidneys remove wastes and excessive fluids from the blood. When the kidneys fail in Renal Failure, kidney transplant may be the last treatment option that allows patients to sustain life. But transplantation is not a cure; and there is alternative natural treatment.

Kidney transplant is a surgical procedure that involves the transplant of a donor's healthy kidney into patient's body. The transplanted kidney can do work of two failed kidneys. However, it is cannot cure Renal Failure and is an ongoing therapy that requires patient to take anti-rejection medications for the rest of life in order to prevent the body from rejecting the new kidney.

If an organ is not available, patients will be put on the wait list for an kidney. The wait time for a kidney varies with places, and it can be years long. During the wait time, the disease can become even aggravated and patients face the risk of dying.

The good news is that in China, a better therapy known as Immunotherapy has been developed to treat Renal Failure in a natural way. So some patients don't need a kidney donor any more.

Immunotherapy is a systemic treatment. It can not only remedy the symptoms of kidney failure, but also improve the kidney function effectively. The treatment process include six steps including an accurate diagnosis, immune blocking, immune tolerance, immune regulation, immune protection and immune clearance treatment. Advanced therapies such as Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy, blood purification, immunoadsorption, etc are selected according to personalized condition.


Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital was established in 1986. Through 26 years' development, it has become one of the largest kidney disease specialized hospital worldwide. Currently, the latest Immunotherapy has been used to treat a wide range of kidney diseases including Renal Failure. With prompt treatment, patients can successfully avoid a transplant and live a normal life with their own kidneys.

Top 10 Facts about Type 1.5 Diabetes

If a diabetic doesn't quite fit the profile of someone with type 2, if Diabetes pills don't seem to be working well, or if you have some characteristics of type 1, perhaps you have Type 1.5 Diabetes. Hope the following text can help you have a better understanding about your disease.

1. Type 1.5 Diabetes refers to the onset of Type 1 diabetes in adults. It is also known as Type 3 Diabetes, Slow Onset Type 1 or Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults (LADA).

2. People with this disease have antibodies in the blood, which show that the immune system is attacking beta cells of the pancreas islet.

3. Symptoms of this disease may include being healthy looking, slim and physical fit. Affected persons often have a lower risk of heart problems once blood sugar is controlled.

4. Approximately 10% of patients with type 1.5 are misdiagnosed with type 2, as people with the disease still make a certain amount of insulin.

5. Tests for various auto-antibodies are used to confirm the disease, such as C peptide, and GAD antibody tests. Patients may have lower C-Peptide levels and positive GAD antibodies.

6. Type 1.5 Diabetes patients may not have the immediate need of insulin, but will generally need insulin within 4 years of diagnosis.

7. People with LADA do not have the degree of insulin resistance that persons with type 2 have.

8. A low glycemic, carbohydrate, and fat diets or a combination of the three can help patients to manage the illness.

9. Though people with type 1.5 are not overweight, exercise is of great value for better condition.


10. The latest treatment for Type 1.5 Diabetes is Immunotherapy in China. This therapy can help us repair the damaged pancreas and regulate the overall immune system so as to treat the disease from the root.

Is There Any Cure for Kidney Failure with Creatinine 10

"I am suffering from Renal Failure, my creatinine is 10. 2 month ago, I start to receive dialysis, 3 times a week. There is still urine. I need to know if you have any cure for my high creatinine level."

As you have described you still have urine output, this means your kidneys still have function. The first thing we need to do is to clean up the waste products stored within the body. Then, we should maintain the residual kidney function and repair the damaged renal cells so that your kidney function can be improved. In this way, your creatinine level will be lowered down and other symptoms will be eliminated.

Currently, you are receiving dialysis. This treatment can help you discharge the toxic substances from the body so as to maintain a normal living. However, your disease has progressed to the end stage, and the kidney function may deteriorate further. Dialysis fails to block this decline of renal function. Eventually, you have to resort to a kidney transplant.

For your case, your doctor may keep saying "there is no hope, your kidney will never function back more". He may never recommend any treatment for you except the transplant. This is common in most countries. But, in China, a new breakthrough has been make in kidney disease treatment. This is called Immunotherapy.

Immunotherapy is a comprehensive therapy. The treatment process includes six steps like an accurate diagnosis (with our immune tests), immune blocking, immune clearance, immune tolerance, immune adjustment and immune protection. Specific steps may be adopted depending on personalized illness condition.


So, if you are interested in our treatment, you can send us more details about the tests you received. Then, our kidney experts will give an analysis of your illness and then provide you with the best treatment plan. You can send an email to kidney-support@hotmail.com or call +86 311 8926-1580.

Once Creatinine is up in PKD, Can It Come Back to Normal

PKD is a kind of congenital disease, and people are usually affected since birth. However, the disease is often detected in the late second or third decade of one's life. Persons affected by PKD usually have elevated creatinine, so can it come back to normal?

Normal value

Creatinine is a waste product produced by the muscles through normal contraction. It passes through the kidneys to be filtered out through urination. The normal range of this level fall between 0.5 and 1.1 mg/dL for wome, while 0.6 to 1.2 mg/dL for men.

Elevated values

When the kidneys cannot work efficiently, as with kidney disease, creatinine levels rise. In general, an increase of this level suggests that 50% or more kidney function has been lost.

Cause of high creatinine in Polycystic Kidney Disease

For people with PKD, they have many cysts growing in the kidneys. These cysts will also become enlarged over time. Enough big ones will oppress the around renal tissues, causing damage to functional renal cells and tissue. If more than half of the kidney function is impaired, the creatinine levels will become elevated.

Can elevated creatinine come back to normal?

Once you have a high creatine level with PKD, don't be too much worry about this. With effective therapy, we can bring it back to normal naturally. For this problem, we adopt different treatments depending on personalized illness condition. The basic therapy is Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy.

Micro-Chinese Medicine is a Chinese herbal treatment which can delay the enlargement of renal cysts, decrease the size of cysts, and improve the kidney function. This is a natural treatment with no side effect to human body.


After period of treatment with Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy, patient's cysts will be largely shrunk and renal function can get obviously improved. Then, high creatinine will return to normal level.

Diet Plans for Men with FSGS

Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis, or FSGS, occurs when scarring impairs the kidney's ability to filter wastes from the blood. This in return causes symptoms, such as proteinuria, edema, high blood pressure, etc. Maintaining a healthy diet can help to slow the progression and control some symptoms. For men with FSGS, the dietary arrangement is recommended to follow the principles as below.

Low-protein

The main goal of a low protein diet is to stop or delay the progression of FSGS kidney disease and help preserve remaining kidney function. How much protein you can safely ear per day depending on the disease stage. Men with a mild or moderate loss of kidney function should limit their protein intake to 0.6g of protein per 1 kg of body weight. Divide the body weight in pounds by 2.2 to determine the weight in kilograms. Multiply the result by 0.6 to determine how much protein to eat. e.g. A 125 lb. person would need 34.1g. Choose high-quality proteins like eggs, meats, fish and poultry.

Low-salt

A low salt diet may help with swelling in the hands and legs, so patients are recommended to restrict sodium to 1,500 mg per day. Avoid canned, processed, convenience and restaurant foods. Examples include bacon, canned and pickled products, salted snacks and so on.

Low in saturated fat and cholesterol

The intake of whole eggs is suggested to limit to 2 each week. Use egg substitutes or white only. Proper foods include lean meats, well trimmed, poultry w/o skin, fish, and shellfish, etc. Refer to healthy oils like olive, canola, and sunflower. Limit saturated fats like dairy and animal fat. Avoid trans fat.


At times, even if you are not hungry, it is important to eat and keep good nutrition. Well-nourished people with FSGS stay healthier and live longer. Any help? Call +86 311 8926-2305 or email to kidneytreatment@hotmail.com .

What Causes Tingling in Fingers of IgA Nephritis

Tingling in fingers cause people a lot of pain and discomfort, inability to do their favourite tasks. Understanding the causes of this problem is a huge milestone on your road to recovery. Then, what causes tingling in fingers of IgA Nephritis?

1. Electrolyte imbalances

Electrolytes continuously move across cell membranes to keep a balance between the cells and blood. Tingling in fingers may appear in case of disordered electrolytes as below.

▪ High potassium. A person with too much potassium in the blood, he has hyperkalemia, which can result in tingling in the fingers. Other symptoms of high potassium include irregular heartbeat, weakness, breath problems, nausea and vomiting, etc.

▪ High phosphorus. Elevated levels of phosphate, an electrolyte that helps regulate the calcium levels and acid-base balance, may also result in fingers tingling. Other potential sings are muscle spasms and seizures.

▪ Low calcium. This can lead to tingling in the hands, feet and fingers, confusion, muscle spasms and cardiac arrest.

Besides, low sodium and low magnesium can also cause this symptom.

2. Iron-Deficiency Anemia

Adequate levels of hemoglobin concentrations can guarantee the effective transportation of oxygen through the blood. An iron plays an essential role in the production of hemoglobin by the body. Long-term diet in iron level may cause poor oxygen transportation, resulting in more generalized tingling.

3. Other medical conditions and diseases.

Numbness and tingling sensations at night or at times during the day may occur due to poor circulation in hands and feet caused by Diabetes, high blood pressure, hear diseases and peripheral vascular disease, etc.


Again, only we can exactly pinpoint the cause for your tingling in fingers, the right treatment can be make for you. You can send an email to kidney-support@hotmail.com or call +86 311 8926-1580 is you need any help.

Why does Drop in Osmotic Pressure Cause Swelling in Nephrotic Syndrome

There are tiny blood vessels in the kidneys that filter waste and excess water from the blood stream. When these filters are damaged, a person will get Nephrotic Syndrome. The most common early symptom of this disorder, in both children and adults, is swelling in the tissues around the eyes or in the ankles or feet due to drop in osmotic pressure. The following gives detailed introduction.

Colloid Osmotic Pressure

It can also be referred to as oncotic pressure, which is a measurement of pressure exerted within the cardiovascular system by proteins found in blood plasma. Maintaining the proper levels osmotic pressure ensures that the body tissues maintain the proper levels of liquid and that too much liquid doesn't escape from the capillaries.

Normally, colloid osmotic pressure tends to cause fluid to be drawn into the capillaries. Variations in this pressure can lead to build up of fluid in the tissues, a condition called edema, or swelling.

Swelling due to Drop of Osmotic Pressure in NS

Individuals with NS suffer from large quantity of Urine Protein. Massive proteins will get released into the urine, leading to reduced amount of plasma colloid osmotic pressure. If this happens, the normal exchange of body fluid is disturbed and cannot keep balance any more. Water in blood vessels will transfer toward tissue fluid, resulting in swelling.

Besides, another cause of edema in NS is also associated with low blood protein concentration.

Water in the blood transfers toward interstitial tissue, leading to low effective blood volume. This in turn gives rise to the production of Anti-diuretic Hormone (ADH). Renal tubules will reabsorb more water and sodium, resulting in more water retention. This condition will aggravate the swelling in NS.


The above is a general introduction of cause of swelling in NS. Is there still anything unclear about the disease? Contact our online doctor for free help.

Is Your Life Shortened with CKD

Chronic kidney disease is a worldwide public health problem. People with the disease suffer from gradual and usually permanent loss of kidney function over time. CKD can shorten your life expectancy, but it does not have to do so. With prompt treatment, the illness condition can be reversed successfully.

CKD stages

With chronic kidney failure, the kidney disease often progresses slowly over a period of years. Based on the measured or estimated GFR levels, this disorder can be divided into five stages:

▪ Stage 1: normal or high GFR (GFR > 90 ml/min)

▪ Stage 2: mild CKD (GFR = 60-89 ml/min)

▪ Stage 3: moderate CKD (GFR = 30-59 ml/min)

▪ Stage 4: severe CKD (GFR = 15-29 ml/min)

▪ Stage 5: end stage renal disease (GFR <15 ml/min)

If patients can take an early diagnosis and treatment for the disorder, they have great chance to reverse the development of the illness and enjoy a much prolonged life.

Most effective treatment for CKD in China: Immunotherapy

If you are diagnosed with kidney disease, your doctor will discuss the best options to treat it. This depend on several factors, such as the stage of the disease and your general health. So far, the most effective therapy is known as Immunotherapy. Your treatment will be customized to your particular needs. Several of the following steps may be recommended to treat your disease:
An accurate diagnosis based on a comprehensive yet specific series of tests;
Immune blocking: prevent further kidney damage with the newest immunosuppressive drugs;

Immune clearance: blood purification, immunoadsorption, plasma exchange, hemoperfusion, leukapheresis, etc.

Immune regulation: Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy and Chinese medicine;
Immune protection can help us protect the residual kidney function, repair the kidney damage, and restore the renal structure as well as regulate the immune system.


Are you suitable to receive our systemic Immunotherapy treatment? Feel free to consult our online doctor.

Cause and Treatment of Polycystic Kidney Disease Acute Pain

More than 60% of patients with autosomal dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) suffer from pain in the abdomen and flank side. The pain may be acute or chronic. This text provides an detailed introduction about cause and treatment of PKD acute pain, and we hope that it can be helpful to you.

Cause

Acute pain in PKD can be caused by complications such as infected cysts, cyst rupture/hemorrhage and kidney stones.

● Infected cysts can lead to diffuse pain that is unilateral or bilateral. The most common presentation of cyst infection is a sudden increase in flank pain related with fever.

● Hemorrhage is another common cause of acute pain in the flank in association with gross hematuria. This bleeding can be into communicating urinary tract. Gross hematuria may occur in over 50% of patients with PKD. Episodes of bleeding before the age of 30 carry a worse prognosis.

● Kidney stones. Approximately 1/3 of people with PKD will develop stones in the kidneys. This is a cause of significant morbidity in ADPKD due to flank pain, hematuria, and UTIs.

Treatment

Corresponding treatment is adopted depending on specific causes. In general, over-the-counter medicines are used to treat pain. Serious pain is treated by surgery to drain cysts, which can provide only temporary relief. It is wise for people with PKD acute pain to find a thorough method.

Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is a kind of Chinese herbal remedy. It can function to prevent continuous growth of the cysts, and shrink the enlarged cysts. In this way, we can eliminate PKD acute pain successfully after certain period of treatment.

Can IgA Nephropathy Get Better by Working out

IgA Nephropathy is a circulating immune complex glomerulonephritis wherein there is glomerular trapping of predominantly IgA immune complexes. Proper working out is often necessary to help slow down the progression of the disease.

Benefits of regular working out

▪ Improve the heart function;
▪ Better control of blood pressure;
▪ Improve muscle strength;
▪ Help with anxiety and depression.

Working out of IgAN

Without other medical contraindications to exercise, patients are often recommended to have a moderate to vigorous working out like walking, cycling, golfing, etc. This can stimulate the cardiovascular system.

Meanwhile, avoid demanding exercises like basketball, tennis, etc that may worsen symptoms like protein and blood in the urine. Heavy contact sports should also be avoided, as it can cause direct injury to the kidneys.

Replacing fluid when you exercise

When you exercise enough to sweat, you may need to replace fluids lost through perspiration. People with advanced stages of kidney disease are often required to limit the fluid intake due to water retention, so they should be careful with the way they re-hydrate. Consult the doctor about what and how much to drink during or after your workouts.


In general, there are few limitations, and patients are advised to ask their nephrologists about the physical activities. Meanwhile, they should quit smoking or drinking alcohol, make more healthy diet choices, through working out, live an active lifestyle. People with IgA Nephropathy can enjoy many physical and psychological benefits of exercising.

Urinary Changes of People with Diabetes and Kidney Disease

Diabetic Nephropathy is a chronic renal disease caused by long-term and uncontrolled Diabetes. Unfortunately, clinical signs and symptoms of this disorder are difficult to detect until nearly all function is gone. Recognizing the urinary changes of Diabetes and kidney disease can help us make an early detection and take prompt treatment.

In this disease, kidney damage occurs in the nephrons, the functional units of the kidney, which consist of a capillary network known as glomeruli. The glomeruli are responsible for filtering waste products, control blood pressure, and regulate electrolytes, etc. Due to the kidneys' inability to function properly, patients with Diabetes and Kidney Disease may experience urinary changes as below.

▪ Protein in the urine

This is one of the first symptoms of diabetic kidney disease. The presence small amount of blood protein is also called albumin, which can be detected with a specific urine test. As the disease develops, more protein gets released into the urine and the kidney's filtering function begins to falter.

▪ Blood in the urine

Blood in the urine is also an early symptom of Diabetes and kidney disease. It is called hematuria. If the blood is unnoticeable, it is called micro-hematuria. If the condition is severe, it is called frank hematuria.

▪ Urinary patterns changes

Patients may also find change in their patterns of urination. These conditions include get up during the night to urinate (nocturia), urinate less often, or have dark colored urine. In some cases, they feel difficulty or pressure when urination. Some patients detect that their urine is full of bubbles or foams and pale, and in large amounts.


Renal Failure is more common amount type 2 diabetics, it can happen to type 1 as well. Fortunately, the likelihood of kidney failure can be minimized by having a good blood sugar control and treating the disease with effective therapy. If you need any help, feel free to talk with our online doctor.

Why do Nephrotic Syndrome is Susceptible to Infection

A person with Nephrotic Syndrome is susceptible to infection. Decades ago when antibiotics are not available, they were the leading cause of death in children with NS. Common types include pneumococcal infections, particularly peritonitis. Then why do people with the disease is more prone to infection?

In general, there are mainly 4 causes:

1. Weaker humoral immune function;

2. Weaker cellular immune function and complement system;

3. Protein malnutrition, edema induced local circulatory obstruction;

4. Application of corticosteroids and immunosuppressive drugs for long time. In this case, patients are very protein to infection like a primary skin infection, respiratory tract infections, or even induced sepsis.

Moreover, infection may also lead to the relapse and aggravation of NS. So, it is essential for patients to take effective precautions through following the steps as below:

● Avoid any inducement.

Patients should protect themselves from being affected by a cold and over-strain work. It is advised for them to not go to the public places. For persons with symptoms like swelling, they should protect their skin and avoid injury or trauma.

● Strengthen the immune ability of the body.

Low-impact exercises like walking, jogging, golfing and so on are suitable for patients with NS. They can improve their own immunity with regular exercises. Besides, they can take some medicines under the doctor's prescription.

● Increase the intake of protein in daily diet.

For people with normal kidney function, patient can have a high quality protein diet through eating foods, such as lean meat, fish, eggs, etc.


We hope that the above suggestions can be helpful to you. If there is still any questions about NS, feel free to call +86 311 8926-2305 or email to kidney-support@hotmail.com.

Why does A Person with Nephrotic Syndrome Develop Edema

Nephrotic Syndrome occurs as a result of various diseases and underlying disorders that damage the tiny filters of the kidneys - glomeruli, resulting in the occurrence of group of symptoms including edema (especially around the eyes, in the feet and hands), high blood cholesterol, and low blood protein levels. Here, we mainly talk about the causes of edema in NS.

A person with NS may suffer from edema mainly due to massive loss of protein in the urine. Disorders that may cause NS including membranous nephropathy, Diabetic Nephropathy, and FSGS, etc. They damage the glomeruli, small blood vessels that filter waste products and excessive fluid from the blood. As a result, big molecules like protein can be spilt out into the urine.

Due to too much protein loss in the urine, there is protein deficiency in the blood. Normal amounts of protein in the blood are necessary to help regulate the fluid all over the body. Normally, protein in teh blood draws water from the tissues and into the blood.

If the level of blood protein is low, the normal movement of water is reversed, and fluid is drawn from the blood and builds up in the tissues. This excessive accumulation of blood in tissues can lead to the puffiness and swelling (edema).
Moreover, the decrease of effective blood volume can also lead to the occurrence of swelling. The effective blood volume reduces drastically because of plasma water's moving. Consequently, changes as below may occur:

Increased ADH → rises of water reabsorption of renal tubules;

Adopt RAA method → secondary hyperaldosteronism → increase of sodium reabsorption of renal tubules → inhibit the production of natriuretic factors → less sodium is discharged → water and sodium retention → aggravated edema in NS.


Recognizing the cause of edema is a significant milestone toward successful treatment. Is there still anything unclear? Call +86 311 8926-1580 or email to kidney-treatment@hotmail.com.

Chinese Treatment for Renal Failure and Kidney Atrophy: Immunotherapy

Kidney Atrophy is a kidney condition, wherein the kidneys are shrinking in size due to the inadequate circulation or loss of renal functional units-nephrons. The loss of kidney function can also lead to the shrink the renal veins and arteries. For Renal Failure caused by atrophic kidney, conventional treatment is kidney dialysis. However, a promising treatment has been development in Chinese medicine known as Immunotherapy. People can successfully avoid or get rid of dialysis if they can take prompt treatment.

Dialysis for Kidney Atrophy

This is a common renal replacement therapy in treating kidney disease. It can help discharge the toxins of the body, and then lower high levels of creatinine, BUN, etc. But after all, it can just help relieve the symptoms not improve patient's renal function.

If the patients still have urine output, Chinese medicine can help them to repair the damaged kidney and improve the kidney function, thus avoiding the dialysis.

What is Immunotherapy?

This is a brand new therapy for kidney disease treatment. It is developed by the nation's top nephrologists in our hospital on the basis of 26 years' experiences and expertise in treating a wide range of kidney diseases. As a systemic treatment, it can treat the diseases kidneys through regulating the overall immune system.

How to treat Renal Failure and kidney atrophy with Immunotherapy?

Actually, over 95% of kidney diseases are auto-immune diseases. Excessive immune reaction produces too much immnue complexes, and they deposited in the kidney, leading to the inflammation of the kidney. Eventually, the functional cells (nephrons) are damaged, so the kidneys can not be work very well.

Our treatment aims at blocking the excessive immune reaction, discharging the immune complexs in the kidney, repairing the damagd nephrons, and protecting the disordered immune system.

At present, Immunotherapy is the most effects therapy for atrophic kidney. If you are diagnose or have been suffering from this disease, you can try this new natural option with hope to live a normal life.

Immune Tolerance Therapy Shows Promise for Nephrotic Syndrome

Nephrotic Syndrome (NS) is an immune disease, wherein the immune system is activated improperly to attack the healthy tissues and organs mistakenly. This is called hypersensitivity. Without good control of the hypersensitivity, inflammation in the kidneys will occur which results in damage of the glomeruli, causing NS. Immune tolerance therapy shows promise for treating this disorder.
What is immune tolerance?

In cases of immune diseases, the immune system will mess up, and it can mistakenly view a part of our own body as a foreign object and attack the body's own tissue. In NS, the glomeruli-tiny filtering units of the kidney, are impaired.

The goal of this therapy is to stop the mistaken autoimmune response by reprogramming the immune system so that it will not attack the body's own kidney intrinsic cells or tissues. By doing so, kidney damage can be stopped successfully, which lay a good basis for further kidney repair process.
Immune tolerance therapy is the third stage of systemic Immunotherapy. It is an important composition of this holistic treatment.

Immune tolerance therapy in treating NS

During the process of treating kidney disease like NS, measures as below are adopted to achieve the goal of immune tolerance.

Firstly, let patient's body accept the fact that the renal inherent cells and tissues have been damaged.

Secondly, in order to protect renal intrinsic cells from being damaged again by inflammatory response, we need to take action to block inflammatory response on a regular basis. According to patient's specific illness condition, immunosuppressive drugs are used regularly. In this way, we can avoid the recurrence of immune inflammatory response.

Thirdly, an assessment of the immune reaction in the kidneys is needed and we will make a long-term plan to monitor the inflammatory response and disease. So, the accuracy of immune blocking can be ensured.


Immune tolerance therapy is a scientific and normalized treatment method. The frequent relapse of kidney diseases is just due to the absence of this step. Therefore, treatments capable of producing tolerance would be remarkably powerful in treating NS and prevent its relapse.

Nursing Care Plan (NCP) for Renal Failure Undergoing Hemodialysis

Renal Failure occurs when the kidneys are not able to adequately excrete wastes and toxins from the body. This progressive process is usually slow. Ultimately, the kidneys become so damaged that they can no longer expel waste products or regulate the body's delicate balance of fluid, resulting in end-stage renal disease (ESRD). When this happens, patients need treatment to replace the work of failed kidneys. Hemodialysis is one of the most commonly used renal replacement therapy.

Hemodialysis is a procedure of cleansing the blood of accumulated waste products. It is a fast and efficient method for removing urea and other toxins and correcting fluid and electrolyte imbalances. A nursing care plan (NCP) for patients with Renal Failure may include aspects as below:

1. Monitor food and fluid ingested and calculate daily intake of calories. The nutritional needs are extremely varied with patient's age, stage of kidney disease and other coexisting conditions.

2. Small, frequent meals are recommended. Smaller portions may enhance intake. Patients might not be fed directly before or during process, as it can alter fluid removal.

3. Frequent mouth care before eating is needed, which can decrease oral discomforts that can interfere with intake of foods.

4. Measure the weight every day at fixed time by the same weighing machine. The weight gain should be no more than 2 to 3 kg between dialysis.

5. Do proper physical activities. Avoid being tired, or fatigue.

6. Protect themselves from catching a cold or an infections. Develop a healthy living habits. Have a good control of blood pressure. Consult a doctor before taking medicines.

If people with Renal Failure undergoing hemodialysis can follow the above suggestions, their life quality can be improved in a certain degree. Is there still any questions? Feel free to call +86 311 8926-2305 or email to kidney-treatment@hotmail.com.

FSGS: Regain Optimal Health with Immune Protection Treatment

It is said that people are only as healthy as their immune system is strong. For persons with FSGS, their innate immune system has been destroyed, which arises a series of excessive inflammatory responses. If patients want to regain optimal health, it is essential for them to rebuild a strong immune system with immune protection treatment.

FSGS causes: Immune dysfunction

If a person is affected by FSGS, some segments of the glomeruli-tiny filters of the kidney, become scarred due to excessive inflammatory response caused by large amounts of deposition of immune complexes.

Normally, there is no inflammatory response in the kidneys. With massive immune complex depositions in the kidney, our body will go to great lengths to eliminate them. Since these substances are not easy to be removed, the immune reaction will become more and more tensive, eventually resulting in damages of the glomeruli.

Immune protection treatment for FSGS

If the immune system cannot be rebuilt for long time, patients will fall into a condition, wherein inflammations and immune complexes deposits coexist for long term. That's the reason why they cannot get rid of FSGS.

How to eliminate the inflammations? Is there any way to rebuild the immune system? The kidney experts in our hospital find the answer in Chinese medicine. That is, restore or rebuild the immune system with the application of medicines to invagorate qi and nourish the blood. In addition, the technology of immune protection also involves the infusion of transfusing drugs that can protect the renal intrinsic cells and tissues like glucocorticoids, etc.

Advantages of immune protection treatment in our hospital:

1. This is a safe therapy which has no damage or side effect to human body;

2. It can not only help patient restore and rebuild the immune system, but also maintain the normal state of innate immune system and avoid the decrease of immunity;

3. We have many effective medicines in our hospital like Mai-Kang Composition (MKM). With continuous research and breakthrough, there will be more advanced therapies being developed in immune protection.


Are you still haunted by frequent relapse of FSGS? You can try our immune protection and you can expect surprising treatment effect with this therapy.

What Makes A Person with Kidney Failure Breath Ammonia Smell

Bad breath may be a symptom of a medical disorder. Diabetes can cause the breath to have a smell like nail polish remover, while breath ammonia smell can be a sign of Kidney Failure. What are the causes of this symptom? How to deal with this problem then?

Causes

Breath ammonia smell or an ammonia or metal taste in the mouth occurs in Renal Failure due to waste build-up in the body. This can cause bad breath, changes in taste, or an aversion to protein foods like meat.

The fundamental cause of this condition is the decrease or damage of kidney function. In normal condition, the kidneys are responsible for cleansing the blood by filtering waste products out of the body and keep the balance of electrolytes. However, in Kidney Failure, the kidneys are not able to function adequately, thus leading to the build up of wastes in the blood such as urea nitrogen. Ammonia smell appears from the nitrogen released by microorganism of urea enzyme. This smell will get worse with the continuous aggravation of kidney disease.

Treatment

Breath ammonia smell is tightly associates with Kidney Failure. One conventional treatment for this condition is dialysis. It aims at help patient to remove more urea and creatinine from the blood stream. As the dialysis proceeds, there may be reduced concentration of ammonia in expired breath of patients.

Though the symptom can be relieved temporarily with dialysis, the root cause-damaged kidney function is not eliminated, so patients will still suffer from this problem. Therefore, a fundamental way is needed which can remove the toxic substances in the body as well as rectify the electrolytes imbalance.


In Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital, such a systemic therapy known as Immunotherapy has been developed. Besides eliminating the bad breath, Immunotherapy aims at protect the residual renal function and repair the damage kidney function maximally. Once patients' kidneys can function as usual, the symptom like ammonia smell will disappear completely.

Is Yogurt Good for Me if I Have PKD

Yogurt is a fermented dairy product with a tart flavor and a thick, pudding-like texture. It is a popular dairy product in many parts around the world, such as the Mediterranean, northern African and the Middle East. While, is it good for a person with Polycystic Kidney Disease?

As kidney function declines, the kidneys of PKD patients are not able to function as usually. In general, nephrologists recommend a diet low in protein, potassium, and phosphorus for persons with the disease. If you have PKD, you are suggested to restrict the intake of these nutritions.

Nutrition value in yogurt

▪ Rich in protein. It is high in protein content. An 8-oz. container of nonfat plain type contains 14 g protein, and 13g in 8-oz. container of low-fat plain type.

▪ High potassium and phosphorus content. An 8-oz. container of plain type provides 531 mg of potassium and 327 mg of phosphorus.

The kidneys are less able to regulate these levels and their content in the blood will become elevated.

Now, we understand that yogurt is not good for people with PKD, so they should limit the intake of it. Or you can consult our online doctor for proper amount of daily intake.

The following also give some suggestions about food choice of PKD. Hope they can be helpful to you.

1. Resort to whole grains like whole wheat breads, cereals, pastas, and crackers;

2. When considering protein sources, high-quality protein contained in lean meat, egg white, fish and so on are preferred for individuals with PKD;

3. Load up on fruits and vegetables that are rich in vitamins, minerals, fiber, etc.


4. When cooking, add flavor with spices, herbs, and lemon instead of the use of salt shaker. At restaurant, you are advised to request meal to be prepared without salt.

Home Made Remedies for RBCs in Urine of IgA Nephritis

The medical term for red blood cells in the urine is hematuria. People with IgA Nephritis can have gross or microscopic hematuria. The presence of RBCs in the urine is found either through a dipstick test, or by examining the urine under a microscope. Here, we will talk about available home made remedies for this symptom.

RBCs in urine of IgA Nephritis

This is one of the most frequently seen symptoms of IgA Nephropathy. The presence of blood in the urine is either as scattered cells discernible only by chemical tests (microhematuria), or visible to the eye as a darkening of the urine (macro- or gross hematuria).

Rarely in episodes of gross hematuria does the urine look red or bloody; usually it is tea-colored or smoky. There may also have a strong smell. An episode's length is different from case to case, but most last a few days.

This symptom will possibly have recurrence at intervals ranging from months or years, with the intervals growing longer over time. Episodes are often closely related to a respiratory infection, less frequently with an infection of gastrointestinal tract, strenuous exercise, or vaccination.

Home made remedies for RBCs in urine of IgA Nephritis

▪ Consume vegetable such as bitter gourd on a daily basis. It can be ate in its natural form or take in juice form.

▪ Plenty of water should be taken. Drink a mixture of mashed pumpkin and sugar cane juice.

▪ Amla and pomegranate can be taken in any form, which are very helpful.

▪ Include bland meat soup in daily diet at home.

▪ Avoid hot and spicy foods. Alcohol and other drinks should be avoided. The patient must totally abstain from sexual intercourse.

Chinese Medicine Treatment for Type 2 Diabetes

"I have Type 2 Diabetes since 2009. Now I am 41. Test reports show HB 17.2, CHOL 224, LDL 167, MALB 37, HbA1c 7.9 (4.0-6.0), KET 2+. My creatinine is 0.74 and I am having frost in urine, no other symptoms. How can Chinese medicine in your hospital help my condition?"

According to your test report, your kidney function is still very good, but there are still many problems:

You have hyperlipidemia and liver metabolic disorder, which is closely associated with sugar metabolic disorder.

In addition, your urine ketones is 2+. It indicates diabetic ketoacidosis. That's the cause of your frost in urine. Besides, it can lead to frequent urination and dehydration or even faint. This condition is very dangerous. Corresponding treatments include: 1) intravenous infusion of 0.9% sodium chloride solution; 2) control blood pressure; 3) injection of 10-20u insulin. Meanwhile, you should also prevent low potassium and bacterial infection.

But I must remind you, controlling blood sugar levels and relieving symptoms SHOULD NOT be our ultimate goal. We need to treat Type 2 Diabetes from the root.
The pathology of Type 2 Diabetes is insulin resistance due to the damage to pancreas islet cells caused by genetic factor and environmental factor which causes immune disorder. The abnormal immune reaction will damage the islet cells.

Chinese medicine treatment for Type 2 Diabetes

▪ Herbal medicines. We provide two types of special prescriptions of herbal medicine called "Tang Yi Kang" and "Ma Teng Kang".

Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy

1. Active materials including islet activating element, islet cell adjustment factor, pancreatic activated enzyme, plant active protein, etc can led patient's body under the action of electromagnetic field.

2. These factors can activate and repair the insulin resistance factor and reduce its sensitivity. By doing so, the insulin receptor will be more sensitive to the insulin and the islet function can be recovered.

3. This remedy can clean the internal environment of human body and release the metabolic disorders. By dilating the blood vessels and removing blood stasis, osmotherapy can improve the microcirculation at the lesions and block insulin resistance.

4. Chinese medicine can also prevent Cardiac, Cerebral and Vascular diseases by blocking LDL, especially the lipid peroxidation damage to targeted cells.

Spinal Anaesthesia for Patients with Renal Failure

Renal Failure patients have a longer life span than they did decades ago due to continuing refinements in dialysis and kidney transplant. Consequently, anaesthetists provide care for these patients with increased frequency, for various surgical procedures. Here, we mainly talk about spinal anaesthesia and Renal Failure.

Introduction

Spinal anaesthesia is induced by injecting small quantity of local anaesthetic into the cerebro-spinal fluid (CSF). The infection is often made in the lumbar spine below the level at which the spinal cord ends (L2). It is easy to perform and has the potential to provide excellent operating conditions for surgery below the umbilicus.

Most patients with Renal Failure are aware of the chronic nature of the disease and its severe prognosis. They have possibly receive surgery on many occasions, and many patients will undergo this anaesthesia.

Potential limitations in the consideration of spinal anaesthesia

1. Bleeding tendency. This could theoretically be a problem due to the risk of haematoma formation. But, for people on adequate dialysis, the primary platelet dysfunction can be reversed. With normal coagulation screen and bleeding time, there should be objection to the application of spinal techniques.

2. Sympathetic blockade. It is an important consideration when utilizing the technique. A high level of blockade can result in a significant drop in blood pressure and glomerular filtration rate (GFR).

3. Severe hypertension. Patients with severe high blood pressure should avoid this anaesthesia.

4. Inadequate duration and poor patient acceptance can lead to unsatisfactory techniques for prolonged procedure.

5. Uraemic neuropathy. The use of this technique is controversial for those patients.

6. Metabolic acidosis. Acidosis can reduce the central nervous system threshold to the toxic effects of local anaesthesia, so the total dose of anaesthetic should be decreased by about 25% in the acidotic patient.

Diagnosis and Immune Tests of Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis

Early and accurate diagnosis of FSGS can help increase the chance for successful treatment. Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital uses the most advanced techniques and technology to diagnose FSGS. This helps the doctor choose the best treatment plan for you.

Besides regular tests for FSGS kidney disease, series of immune tests as below can help us make an precise diagnosis of the disease.

1. Series of Kidney Damage Tests

▪ UTP、U-malb、and U-IGG tests can show whether the glomerulus is damaged, the severity of damage, and patient's sensitivity to medicines;

▪ α1-microglobulin test can show whether the reabsorption ability of renal tubules are is damaged and the severity of damage;

▪ U-GGT and U-NAG is the index of renal tubular inflammatory lesions and the severity of damage;

▪ Uosm test can show the damage of the reabsorption function of distal nephrons.
Aims: 1) judge whether patient's kidney has been damaged; 2) the injured part: glomerulus or renal tubules; 3) severity of the damage which can instruct the medicine choice; 4) instruct the medicine use in clinic.

2. Urinary protein electrophoresis is used to analysis the Urine Protein component. Aims: 1) judge the sources of proteinuria; 2) make an differential diagnosis of various kidney disease; 3) judge patient's sensitivity to medicines.

3. SPI is aimed at 1) judge the type of glomerular diseases; 2) predict the prognosis; 3) instruct the medicine use in clinic.

SPI≤0.1, high selective urine protein, indicate slight damage of glomerulus, hormones and immunosuppressants can be used, favorable prognosis (mostly seen in MCD);
SPI≥0.2, non-selective urine protein, indicate severe glomerular damage, unfavorable treatment effects and prognosis (mostly seen in MN, FSGS).
Besides, other tests including Uremic toxins tests and Series of Complement Tests will also be involved in the diagnosis of FSGS.

Diagnosis and Immune Tests of IgA Kidney Disease

An early and exact diagnosis of IgA Nephropathy can contribute to better treatment effects. In our hospital, except for regular diagnostic tests of IgA Kidney Disease, we have series of immune tests as below:

1. Hematuria position

▪ Glomerular hematuria: flow urinary sediment non-uniformity red blood cells; urinary red blood cells form deformation (red blood cells>75%); ALB/UTP 0.73±0.11.

▪ Non-Glomerular hematuria: flow urinary sediment uniformity red blood cells; urinary red blood cells form deformation (red blood cells<50%); ALB/UTP 0.41±0.14.

▪ Mixed hematuria: both non-uniformity red blood cells and uniformity red blood cells are detected in the urine.

2. Series of Kidney Damage Tests

It may include: UTP, U-malb, U-TRF, U-IGG, β 2-microglobulin, α1-microglobulin, κ light chain, λ light chain, U- NAG, U-GGT, and Uosm.

Aims: 1) judge whether patient's kidney has been damaged; 2) the injured part: glomerulus or renal tubules; 3) severity of the damage which can instruct the medicine choice; 4) instruct the medicine use in clinic.

3. Uremic toxins tests

Check items include BUN, Creatinine, UA, β 2-microglobulin, CycC, RBP, HCY, PTH.
Aims: 1) make the toxic accumulation in patient's body clear; 2) instruct the choice of immune clearance method.

4. Series of Complement Tests

It can make the activation of completes clear, and it is the index of disease. Check items include C3, C4, CH50, C1q, B factor. The decrease of C3, C4, CH50, C1q indicate the activation of classical pathway, and the decrease of C3 and B factor suggests the activation of side pathway.
