Diabetes is a metabolic disease in which the blood glucose, or sugar, levels
are too high. Recognizing the causes and risk factors for Diabetes can help us
have a clear understanding of the disease so as to treat it correspondingly.
Causes and risk factors for Diabetes includes two aspects: biological and
personal factors and health behaviours.
1. Biological and personal factors:
* Overweight and obesity, especially central obesity (accumulated fat around
the waist), are the strongest risk factors for Diabbetes. Take Netherlands for
example, 66% of people newly diagnosed with Diabetes are attributable to
overweight or obesity.
* Genetic factor. Certain genes are at higher risk for developing Diabetes.
This condition can be more commonly seen in Type 2 Diabetes.
* Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM). For children whose mothers are with
Diabetes have a higher risk for Type 2 Diabetes.
* Prediabetes. This including persons with Impaired Glucose Tolerance (IGT)
and Impaired Fasting Glucose (IFG) have concentrations of blood glucose above
the normal range.
2. Health behaviours:
* Unhealthy dietary habits. This includes a high fat and saturated fatty acid
diet which may result in IGT, higher fasting glucose concentration and elevated
insulin levels.
* Smoking can increase your risk for Diabetes.
* Sedentary lifestyle. In this case, people are more prone to develop Type 2
Diabetes.
No matter what causes Diabetes, we had better take effective treatment in
time, because long-standing Diabetes will lead to serious problems such as eyes,
kidneys, and nerves. It can even cause heart disease, stroke and so forth. You
can find associated articles in our website.
Know the causes and alleviate the symptoms are very important for kidney disease treatment,especially for IgA, Renal Failure, PKD, Renal Cysts, Diabetic Nephropathy.

How to Improve the Glomerular Filtration Rate in Nephrotic Syndrome
Glomerular Fitration Rate, or GFR, is a vital indication of the kidney
function through which we can know how well the kidneys are working or to what
degree they are damaged. With the development of Nephritis Syndrome, patients
always present decreased Glomerular Filtration Rate. Why dose the GFR go down in
Nephritis Syndrome? Is there any effective treatment?
Causes of reduced Glomerular Filtration Rate in Nephritis Syndrome
Actually, it's because of what's going on in the glomerulus. In normal condition, the capillaries are all nice and open and patent. Blood flows through the capillaries smoothly, fluid gets filtered out into the urine, and the GFR is normal.
In Nephritis Syndrome, there are too much immune complexes depositing in the glomeruli, so the glomeruli are compressed by all that extra stuff, and you can imagine how hard it is for the poor blood to flow through there. If the blood can't flow through at the same rate, the filtration of fluid from the blood into urine is decreased, and patients appear decreased Glomerular Filtration Rate.
How to improve the Glomerular Filtration Rate in Nephritis Syndrome?
Since we have found the exact cause of reduced GFR is due to immune complex deposits, after we clear up them and repair the damaged glomeruli, the Glomerular Filtration Rate can be increased naturally.
Here we'd like to introduce the most advanced therapeutic method to you, which is called immunotherapy. It is an integrated Chinese and western therapy, so we can guarantee the best treatment effects. Immunotherapy is consisted of:
1. New immunosuppressive agents-block further immune reaction so as to avoid further decline of GFR.
2. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy-remove the immune complex effectively.
3. Immunotherapy-transfused through veins, repair the damaged glomeruli, recover the kidney function, and regulate the immune system.
4. Immune clearance-immunoadsorption, plasma exchange and blood purification can help us clear the toxins thoroughly.

Chinese Herbal Medicine for Berger's Disease-Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy
Nowadays, there are many treatments for Berger's disease. In western
medicine, for example, hormone and immunosuppressants are commonly used. These
medicines can take effect in a short time, but there exist troublesome side
effects. Pure traditional Chinese medicine can be effective, but long-term oral
application will causes ailments in the gastrointestinal tract, such as
decreased appetite, nausea and vomiting. Numerous clinical practices show that
Chinese herbal medicine-Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is effective, safe
and convenient, which can significantly improve the treatment for Berger's
disease.
We all know that Berger's disease occurs as a result of immunoglobulin A deposits in the mesangial area of the glomeruli, tiny filtering units of the kidneys. Once the filtering function is damaged, various symptoms of Berger's disease, such as blood in urine, urine protein will appear. Hence, the essence of treating Berger's disease is to restore the damaged renal functional cells and restore the kidney function. Then the symptoms will disappear naturally, and the disease will never recur.
Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is an innovative therapy of traditional Chinese medicine, which can treat Berger's disease from the root by external application.
1. Chinese medicine is abstracted from Chinese herbal plants, so there is not any side effects.
2. With the help of modern penetrant and osmosis equipment, micro-processing Chinese medicine granules are packaged into bags and then penetrated into renal lesion directly by external application.
3. The treatment process of this therapy includes degrading the IgA immune complex, dilating blood vessels and improve the short supply of oxygen and blood in the kidneys, block inflammation, and anti-coagulation. In this way, the immune complex can be discharged from the body, and a favorable environment for the repairing of renal function is created.
4. Special ingredients in Micro-Chinese Medicine can also supply enough nutrients. In this condition, the repair of renal function can be accelerated. Meanwhile, the overall immune ability get greatly improvement.

Are Diabetes Complications Irreversible
Diabetics always wonder why doctors talk so much about keeping blood sugar
levels in a healthy range, and here gives you the answer: higher blood sugar
levels over a long period of time is linked with some diabetic complications.
These complications can affect different parts of your body, such as eyes, feet,
kidneys, nerves, heart and blood vessels, gums. Are these complications of
diabetes really irreversible?
Several complications of Diabetes
Eye problems. Diabetics have a greater risk of developing eye problems, including cataracts and Diabetic Retinopathy, glaucoma. Generally, after 20 years of onset of Diabetes, patients will present various degrees of Diabetic Retinopathy.
Kidney disease. High blood sugar levels will lead to damage to the blood vessels in the kidneys, causing kidney disease, known as Diabetic Nephropathy. If the kidney disease get worse, a person may develop Kidney Failure, which requires dialysis or a kidney transplant.
Nerve damage. Long-time Diabetes can affect nerves in many different parts of the body. In this case, symptoms such as numbness, tingling, or sharp pains in the feet or lower legs will appear.
Are Diabetes complications irreversible?
Most of the above complications will develop gradually, and if left untreated, they will become irreversible. So diabetics and those who are suffering from diabetes complications had better take prompt treatment. Here, we'd like to introduce you a most advanced treatment for Diabetes and diabetic complications-Immunotherapy.
Immunotherapy are a group of unspecialized cells that can infinitely differentiate into needed cells and self-renewal. They are transfused into the body through veins. Clinical practices in our hospital have show that Immunotherapy can take effect to significantly treat Diabetes and control diabetic complications. Patients who receive this treatment all have great improvement, and the curative effect certainly depends on the individual condition. After our online experts analysis your disease, they can give you a specific answer, so consult us if you need any help. Best wishes!

Causes of High Blood Pressure in Nephrotic Syndrome
Healthy kidneys play several vital functions, such as filter blood, remove
waste products from the body, balances the body's fluids, and releases hormones
that regulate blood pressure. A number of diseases and conditions can damage the
kidney's filtering apparatus, like diabetes and immune disorders. This damage
leads to a condition called Nephrotic Syndrome, which is featured by
proteinurina, high cholesterol and triglycerides, and edema. Persons with
Nephrotic Syndrome may develop high blood pressure at advanced stage.
What causes high blood pressure in Nephrotic Syndrome?
Kidneys can filter roughly 150~200 quarts of blood every day through tiny structures known as nephrons. There are around one million nephrons in each kidney, and each nephron consists of a glomerulus, the filtering unit of blood vessels. Blood passes through the glomerulus, where various substances are either restrained or removed from the filtrate as necessary. In most cases, filtered sodium and fluid is excreted.
In Nephrotic Syndrome, high blood pressure may occur due to damages to the glomeruli in the kidney's nephrons. When the capillaries of the kidneys are impaired, there will exists a short supply of blood and oxygen in the kidneys.
There is an aotomatic system within our body which can control the blood pressure, called renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS). In case of renal ischemia and anoxia, RAAS system can be activated, so the secretion of renin increases, leading to the increase of angiotensin II activity and the striction of arteriolar walls, and then result in high blood pressure.
High blood pressure will in turn causes deterioration of the kidney damages in Nephrotic Syndrome. In repaid deterioration cases, Renal Failure, or even end-stage renal disease can be the result. Therefore, we need to treat high blood pressure in Nephrotic Syndrome as soon as possible.
In China, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is applied to improve the blood circulation, remove the blood stasis, thus reducing high blood pressure consequently. As a Chinese herbal medicine, it has not any side effects, so Micro-Chinese Medicine has been adopted by more and more persons with kidney diseases.

How does a Person Get Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD)
Polycystic kidney disease causes numerous cysts to form in both kidneys.
People cannot catch PKD from a virus or by being exposed to another person who
has it. It is hereditary and there are two forms of the disease that are passed
down from a parent.
1. Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD)
It is by far the most common form, making up about 90% of all cases of polycystic kidney disease. It is passed from parent to child. If one of the parents has this disorder, the child have a 50% chance of inheriting it. About 10% of persons with ADPKD have not inherited the disease from a parent, but have a gene that mutated causing the disease.
2. Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD)
This is a rare form of the disease and strikes infant, sometimes even before birth. The parents who carry the gene do not have polycystic kidney disease, so they don't know they are carrying the problematic gene. This type only appears in 25% of the children of couples who both carry the gene.
Once a person gets polycystic kidney disease and numerous cysts from in the kidneys, so the kidneys get severely enlarged. The cysts also take place of normal kidney tissues. With less normal kidney tissue, the kidneys are unable to function normally, and finally the kidneys may fail.
About half of people with the most common type of polycystic kidney disease will progress to end-stage renal disease. If this happens, the patient needs to rely on regular dialysis or kidney transplant to sustain life. Therefore, it is vital for patients to receive effective treatment as early as possible.
Immunotherapy for polycystic kidney disease is the latest approach in 2012 in our hospital. After many years research on this disease, our experts team find the newest way to treat PKD-immunotherapy. As a kind of natural treatment, immunotherapy include traditional Chinese medicine, Immunotherapy and immune clearance. We have made many achievements in treating various kidney disease.

Latest Development on Nephrotic Syndrome Treatment
Immunotherapy for Nephrotic Syndrome is an innovative therapeutic method in
2012 in our hospital. After many years' research on Nephrotic Syndrome
treatment, our nephrologists find a new way to treat the disease from the
root-immunotherapy.
Each patients who comes to Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital is the focus of our nephrologists team from the start of the treatment to the end. Immunotherapy is a comprehensive treatment consisted of accurate diagnosis, health care and personalized treatment schedule.
Accurate diagnosis
The diagnostic tests for Nephrotic Syndrome are conducted by the doctor of our nephrologists. With the most advanced medical equipment, we can make an accurate diagnosis of your condition. The newest immune diagnostic tests include 8 checks for renal damage, 7 checks for uremic, detection for lymphocyte subsets, hematuria location check, etc.
Health care
Patients with Nephrotic Syndrome need special care, and pay attention to daily diet. After hospitalized, each patient is taken care of by one specialized training nurse who can help you make a plan including meal, physical activity, etc. If there are some unfavorable living habits, the nurse will remind and help you correct them.
Treatment
Immunotherapy is a systemic treatment including Chinese herbal medicine, Immunotherapy and immune clearance. In Nephrotic Syndrome, these treatments are selectively used according to your illness condition.
We all know that Nephrotic Syndrome occurs as a result of immune dysfunction. And there are massive immune complexes deposits in the glomeruli, causing damages to the filtration function, so large amount of protein will pass through into the urine.
Chinese herbal medicine is firstly used to degrade and expel the immune complexes so as to provide a favorable environment for Immunotherapy.
Then Immunotherapy with infinite regeneration ability will be transfused into the body to differentiate into desired intrinsic cells to restore the kidney function. In our hospital, we have more than 80 million and two types of healthy Immunotherapy, which can guarantee the curative effects. The kidney function will recover gradually, and the immune system get regulated.
Besides, other advanced treatments including immunoadsorption, plasma exchange, and blood purification are also available in our hospital.
If you are diagnosed with Nephrotic Syndrome, we can help. You can contact us by making an appointment through online service, or leaving a message.

Symptoms of IgA Nephropathy (Berger's Disease) in Children
IgA Nephropathy, or Berger's disease is regularly diagnosed in children.
Inducements of this disease may include the upper respiratory tract infection,
diarrhea, infection of the urinary tract, etc. Though the symptoms of IgA
Nephropathy in children vary with different cases, we give the common ones as
below.
▪ Hematuria-the most common symptom of pediatric IgA Nephropathy
1. Gross hematuria. This is often the first symptom in about 80 percent of cases. Hematuria usually occurs aften 24~72 hours of the upper respiratory tract infection. For kids who have antiadoncus simultaneously, hematuria may disappear after tonsillectomy.
2. Microscopic hematuria. It can not be seen with naked eyes, but only be detected under the microscope.
▪ Protein in urine
Some children with IgA Nephropathy will present both hematuria and protein in urine. In this case, the hematuria can either be microscopic hematuria or paroxysmal gross hematuria. Most cases of proteinuria are mild (150–500 mg) to moderate (500–1000 mg).
For 15 to 30 percent cases of IgA Nephropathy, the clinical manifestations are the same with Nephrotic Syndrome, and patients show massive protein in urine, edema, hyperlipidemia and hypoproteinemia, seldome accompanied with respiratory tract infection. Some patients may show nephritis syndrome.
▪ High blood pressure
High blood pressure or hypertension may appear in 5 percent of IgA Nephropathy in children. In general, the occurrence of high blood pressure will cause rapid deterioration of kidney function, so it is critical to have a good control of hypertension and prevent the progression into renal insufficiency.
Statistics show that 5 to 10 percent of children with IgA Nephropathy will develop total kidney failure, a permanent loss of renal function. People with kidney failure need dialysis or a kidney transplant.
Parents should find effective treatment for your child as early as possible. The treatment should help prevent further progression, repair the impaired kidney function and rebuild the immune system. If the disease are treated fundamentally, the symptoms will never recur.

Colorless Urine in Kidney Failure
Urine moves wastes and excess water out of the body. In most cases, its
transit is uneventful and the normal output of urine will apear pale yellow to
amber in color and bear little to no odour. But sometimes urine may look
different. In case of Kidney Failure, colorless urine may appear as a result of
severely damaged renal function.
Causes of colorless urine in Kidney Failure
Kidneys are bean-shaped organs that are located at the lower back of the abdomen. In normal condition, they function well to filter out the wastes and toxins that are created by the body's constant metabolism. All the waste materials that are filtered from the blood are expelled out from the body in the form of urine.
Kidney Failure, or Renal Failure, is a medical condition in while the damaged kidneys are no longer able to perform the vital function of eliminating metabolic waste and excessive fluid from the body. As kidney damage accumulates, urine production become abnormal. When patients develop moderate Kidney Failure, urine production may be brisk because the kidneys can not concentrate the urine as they normally would. In this case, the urine is typically almost colorless and clear.
Besides, nocturia-waking during the night needing to uinate-may also occur. As the degree of kidney failure progresses, urine production will become severely diminished (oliguria) or absent (anuria). Loss of kidney function will also lead to fluid and chemical imbalances, causing swelling or edema especially of the feet, ankles and around the eyes.
Latest treatment for Kidney Failure: immunotherapy
Once you present the serious symptoms of Kidney Failure, effective treatment should be adopted as early as possible to prevent further development of end-stage renal disease (ESRD), a permanent loss of kidney function.
In 2012, immunotherapy is the newest treatment for Kidney Failure and other kidney diseases which develops on the basis of more than 20 years' research and clinical practises. For those who are suffering from Kidney Failure, we can provide you with the most advanced treatment and help you restore the renal function so as to get rid of dialysis or kidney transplant.

Five Stages and Symptoms of Diabetic Nephropathy
Treatment for Diabetic Nephropathy varies with different stages and symptoms
of the disease, so it is necessary to have a clear understanding of your own
illness condition.
Stage 1: glomerular hyperfiltration stage
Kidney functions are changed in this stage. The kidney increases in size accompanied with increased glomerular filtration rate. There are no symptoms in this stage.
Stage 2: Normal albuminuria stage.
The urinary albumin excretion (UAE) is normal (<20ug/min or < 30mg/24h ). It may increase after intense physical activity and can recover after rest. The glomerular structure has changed. We can find thicken glomerular basement membrane and increased mesangium matrix. The GFR is higher than normal (>150ml/min). Patients have normal or slightly elevated blood pressure.
Stage 3: Early stage of Diabetic Nephropathy
The UAE continues increasing more than 20~200ug/min or 30~300mg/24h. There are obvious thicken of the glomerular basement membrane and increased mesangium matrix. In this stage, the blood pressure with rise in a slight degree.
Stage 4: Clinical Nephrotic Syndrome
This stage is characterized with large amount of albuminuria (UAE>200ug/min) and massive proteinuria (more than 3.5 grams daily). GFR will decline by 1ml/min every month. Patients also present swelling (edema in the eyelids, lower limbs or even the whole body) and high blood pressure.
Stage 5: Renal Failure.
The GBM become widely thickened, and glomerular capillary lumens become progressively narrow and more and more necrotic glomeruli appear. Eventually, the GFR declines to less than 10ml/min. Symptoms of Renal Failure also include elevated creatinine and BUN levels, severe high blood pressure, edema, poor appetite, weakness, felling tired or worn out, nausea or vomiting, trouble sleeping, etc.
For those who take effective treatment in the early stages, Diabetic Nephropathy can be reversed. As the latest treatment for diabetic kidney disease, immunotherapy is available in out hospital. If you need any help, feel free to talk with our online experts.

There are three main types of Diabetes Mellitus:
1. Type 1 Diabetes
It takes about 5~10% of people with diabetes. This kind of disease is an autoimmune disease. The body's own immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. Patients with type 1 diabetes have very little or no insulin. This condition is typically diagnosed in children and young adults.
2. Type 2 Diabetes
Accounting for 90~95% of those with diabetes. Usually, it's diagnosed in adults over age 40 and 80% of those with type 2 diabetes are overweight. Initially, in this case, insulin is produced, but insulin doesn't function properly, resulting in a condition called insulin resistance. Eventually, decreased insulin production occurs in most patients.
3. Gestational Diabetes
This type develops during pregnancy, and occurs more often in African Americans, Native Americans, Latinos and people with a family history of diabetes.
Common signs and symptoms of Diabetes Mellitus include:
● Increased urination frequency
● Excess thirst
● Weight loss
● Excessive hunger
● Sudden changes of vision
● Numbness in the hands and feet
● Fatigue, or tiredness
● Very dry skin
● More susceptible to infections than usual
● Sores that are slow to heal
Some people with Diabetes Mellitus may present several symptoms that are mentioned above. However, 50% of Type 2 Diabetes persons do not experience any symptoms and don't aware of their disease.

What are Complications of Polycystic Kidney Disease
People with Polycystic Kidney Disease have multiple cysts in their kidneys.
These cysts invariably increase the size of the kidneys squeezing on surrounding
blood vessels. There are numerous complications associated with this disorder
including:
1. High blood pressure
Elevated blood pressure is a common complication of Polycystic Kidney Disease. Uncontrolled, or poorly controlled high blood pressure can lead to further damage to your kidneys and increase your risk of stroke and heart disease.
2. Loss of kidney function
This is one of the most serious complications of Polycystic Kidney Disease. As the cysts enlarge, they produce pressure and promote scarring in the unaffected areas of the kidneys, causing hypertension and damages to the kidneys' ability to eliminate wastes from the blood. When the waste products build to toxic levels, end-stage renal disease, or Uremia can be the result. Nearly 50% of patients have kidney failure by age of 60.
3. Develop cysts in the liver
The risk of growing cysts in the liver increases with age. Both men and women develop cysts, but the latter often have larger cysts.
4. Heart valve abnormalities
1/4 of adults with PKD may suffer from mitral valve prolapse. In this case, the valve is unable to close properly, causing lead backward of the blood.
5. Side or back pain
It is a common symptom of persons with PKD, and this chronic pain can also be associated with kidney stone or urinary tract infection.
Treatment for the above complications of Polycystic Kidney Disease should focus on control and inhibit the growth of cysts, and then they will disappear naturally. Combined western medicine and Chinese medicine can guarantee us a better curative effect. Certainly, specific therapy varies with different disease condition. Feel free to contact our online experts who will help you analysis your condition and provide you with the best treatment option.

What are Complications of Nephrotic Syndrome in Children
Nephrotic Syndrome is one of the most common glomerular diseases that affect
children. Almost all children with this disorder have idiopathic Nephrotic
Syndrome characterized by diffuse foot process fusion on electron microscopy and
minimal change disease (MCD), primary FSGS, or mesangial proliferation on light
microscopy.
Most patients with MCD have favorable outcomes without complications. However, a few of patients with FSGS suffer from severe and prolonged proteinuria, and at higher risk for complications. Complications of NS can be divided into two categories:
1. Disease-associated complications
a. Infections, such as peritonitis, sepsis, cellulitis, and chicken pox;
b. Thromboembolism, e.g. venous thromboembolism and pulmonary embolism;
c. Hypovolemic crisis including abdominal pain, hypotension, and tachycardia;
d. Cardiovascular problems, acute renal failure, anemia, and others.
These disease-associated complications mainly occur due to large loss of plasma proteins in the urine of nephrotic children.
2. Drug-related complications
Drugs that have often been used to treat Nephrotic Syndrome such as corticosteroids, alkylating agents, etc have treatment-related complications.
The above are introduction of numerous complications of Nephrotic Syndrome in children. Early detection and appropriate treatment of these condition can improve the prognosis of patients with NS.
In 2012, the newest treatment for Nephrotic Syndrome is called immunotherapy. This is a natural treatment without any side effects to patients, so it had become the best option to control and treat complications of Nephrotic Syndrome.

What are the Causes of IgA Nephropathy
IgA Nephropathy, or Berger's disease, is the most common cause of
glomerulonephritis, responsible for approximately 45% of cases. A peak incidence
in the second and third decades of life exists, but people of all ages can be
affected.
Immunoglobulin A (IgA) is an antibody that plays a key role in your immune system by attacking invading pathogens. However, in IgA Nephropathy, this antibody lodges in the glomeruli, gradually affecting their filtering ability. Causes of IgA Nephropathy are as below:
1. IgA deposits in the mesangium
Due to immune dysfunction, IgA and other immune complexes collect in the mesangium of the glomeruli, so the glomerular basement membrane is damaged. With an impaired filtration function, protein and red blood cells will be spilt out into urine.
2. Genes
There is a genetic component to IgA Nephropathy, and people in some families and in certain ethnic groups are more prone to get this disorder.
3. Infections
Infections such as HIV infection and bacterial infections are associated with the development of IgA kidney disease.
4. Others
Other conditions or factors that are related to the incidence of IgA Nephropathy include:
* Celiac disease, a condition that damages the lining of the small intestine and prevents it from absorbing parts of food that are important for staying healthy. The damage is due to a reaction to eating gluten, a protein found in most grains.
* Cirrhosis, a condition in which scar tissue replaces normal tissue within the liver.
* Dermatitis herpetiformis, an extremely itchy rash make of bumps and blisters. The rash is chronic, and may continues over a long period of time.
Treatment of IgA Nephropathy varies with different causes of your disease. Our online experts are available to give you the best treatment option according to your personalized condition.

Natural Cure for Urine Protein in Kidney Disease
Protein is normally not found in the urine. A very tiny amount of protein in
your urine may be common from time to time. However, patients with kidney
disease often suffer from proteinuria in different degrees. What causes urine
protein? Is there any natural cure?
Causes of urine protein in kidney disease
Proteins in the blood, like albumin and immunoglobulin, are responsible for helping in coagulation, balancing the body fluids, and fighting infection. We should also know that kidneys can filter blood through millions of tiny filtering screens-glomeruli so as to remove waste from blood. These proteins are too big to pass the glomeruli, so they are usually restrained by the glomerular filtration membrane.
For persons with kidney disease, the glomerular filtration membrane is damaged, and large amounts of proteins will pass through the kidneys and go out of the body through urine. Consequently, urine protein will present.
Possible symptoms of urine protein
We can not see protein in the urine, and the only way to know if you have proteinuria is to have your urine tested. In most cases, people have no symptoms. Possible symptoms may include foamy urine, or swelling in the hands, feet or face.
Is there any way to cure urine protein in kidney disease naturally?
As the cause of urine protein is due to damaged gloemerular filtration membrane, we should treat from the basis. Here, we recommend you a natural remedy-Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy. This therapy can block the leakage of protein as well as repair the damaged glomerular basement membrane. Treatment mechanism is as below:
1. Dilate blood vessels and remove blood stasis so as to improve the renal blood circulation.
2. Anti-inflammation and block inflammatory reaction in order to stop further damages to renal intrinsic cells.
3. Provide necessary nutrients to the accelerate the repairing of glomerular basement membrane which can cure urine protein naturally.
Besides, Micro-Chinese Medicine has other significant effects to anti-coagulation, prevent thrombopoiesis, etc. You can contact our online experts from more details.

The Reasons for the Development of Diabetic Nephropathy
As a complication of diabetes, Diabetic Nephropathy is caused by damage to
the tiniest blood vessels. When small blood vessels appear damages gradually,
both kidneys begin to leak proteins into the urine. Over time, the kidneys will
lose their ability to remove wastes from the blood. Then what causes Diabetic
Nephropathy?
1. Long-term hyperglycemia in Diabetes
Type 1 Diabetes. Up to 40% of people with this disease ultimately develop significant kidney disease, which sometimes need to receive dialysis or a kidney transplant.
Type 2 Diabetes. About 20%~30% of persons with this type will develop at least some kidney damage, and 4%~6% of patients end up requiring dialysis.
2. High blood pressure
Consequence of hyperglycemia is hypertension (high blood pressure), which also affects the kidneys.
With high sugar and high blood pressure, the kidneys are unable to function adequately, and substances that must be removed by the kidneys, finally accumulate in the body causing its poisoning.
3. Hereditary factor
For people who had been violations of the kidneys, the risk of Diabetic Nephropathy increases.
Initially, patients with Diabetic Nephropathy may present not any discomfort, so patients are often found with the last stages of Diabetic Nephropathy, which is almost impossible to cure the disease. Therefore, timely investigation and detection of early signs of kidney disease in Diabetes is of great importance.

Diabetes Complications in Men
Complications of diabetes are widespread and varied. They are more likely to
occur in men. Part of the reason is due to the fact that 1/3 of men with Type 2
Diabetes, the most common form of the disease, are not aware of this fact. Then
what complications of diabetes may occur in men?
Retinopathy
Men with diabetes may suffer from diabetic eye diseases include retinopathy, cataracts and glaucoma. Diabetic nephropathy is the most common eye disorder affecting diabetics. If left untreated, severe conditions such as blindness, impotence and amputations can be the result of patients with retinopathy.
Peripheral Vascular Disorder
Complications of diabetes may also include Peripheral Vascular Disorder, a pain in the thigh, calf, or butt during exercise that is associated with a dramatic increased risk for heart disease and stroke.
Kidney disease
The function of the kidney is to clean the blood. Over long periods of time high blood sugar levels can impair the kidneys, causing buildup the waste products and fluid in the blood stream. Without effective treatment, serious side effects will be caused.
Erectile dysfunction
This is yet another complication of diabetes in men. The severity of the problem varies from the total inability to have an erection, the inability to maintain an erection or the occasional inability to have or maintain an erection. Though this is a problem that can affect all men, men who are suffering from diabetes are more likely to have experienced erectile problems much earlier than those who are not diabetics.
For those who are affected by diabetes, it is important to monitor your blood sugar levels, control the intake of sugar and develop a good lifestyle. Certainly, prevention is better than cure. Effective precautions for diabetes complications are arranging a health and varied diet and doing proper physical activities.

What does Occult Blood in Urine Mean
Occult blood is blood that cannot be seen without a microscope, so occult
blood in urine indicate the presence of the red blood cells in the urine so
indicating a problem. Another term commonly used for the same condition is
hematuria.
Usually, it is connected with some sort of the disorder in the kidneys; it can also be some sort of the urinary tract infection.
Reasons for occult blood in urine
Firstly, this disorder can be caused by urinary tract infections with the viruses. At time, unsafe sex may also result in such kind of complication in the body.
Secondly, infection in the prostate may also lead to hematuria. To make a diagnosis, tests including CT-scan, X-ray, Ultra sound etc should be done.
Finally, occult blood in urine may appear as a result of kidney disease including acute and chronic nephritis, pyelonephritis, kidney stones, etc. In this condition, the renal microcirculation is damaged, causing kidney ischemia and anoxia. Then series of inflammatory mediators will be released, and the renal fibrosis process starts. Consequently, local pathological glomerular changes including mesangial cell proliferation, increase of mesangial matrix, and damages to glomerular basement memebrane occur, resulting in an impairment of charge barrier and increased permeability, so occult blood in urine appears.
Occult blood in urine- occult blood +
At high magnification: 10 red blood count-occult blood +, 1+, or +1; 20 dollars for the ++, 2+, or +2; 30 dollars for the +++, 3+, or +3. That plus more, indicating more severity of kidney intrinsic cells damage. Proper treatment should be adopted as early as possible.
Occult blood in urine can be caused due to the above reason, and the first thing you should do is the find the exact cause of this condition. However, a person must not be worry a lot as it can be effectively treated by modern medical technology. How to cure occult blood in urine? Feel free to consult out online doctors.

Numerous Complications of Diabetic Nephropathy
Diabetic Nephropathy (DN) refers to damage of the filtering apparatus of the
nephron-glomerulus and capillaries associated with the glomerulus, resulting in
decreased of the kidney filtering capability. In clinical, patients may appear
proteinuria, red blood cell casts, oedema and hypertension. This disease has
become the single most common cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in the
western world. If effective treatment is not provided, numerous complications of
Diabetic Nephropathy as below may be caused.
● Hypoglycemia
This condition will appear when the glucose levels are much below than normal degree. 70mg/dl is considered as low level of blood glucose, and if it goes below this level, it will lead to damages to the kidneys.
● Hyperkalemia
No matter when the concentration of electrolyte potassium arises in the blood, hyperkalemia may be caused, resulting in abnormal heart rhythms.
● Severe hypertension
This can be the result of increased or constantly high blood pressure in the arteries.
● Kidney Failure
Diabetic Nephropathy can get worse with time without standard treatment. Your kidneys stop working, and Kidney Failure appears. In this condition, waste products build up in the body, causing nausea, vomiting, weakness, shortness of breath and confusion. In severe cases, Renal Failure can lead to seizures and coma.
Effective treatment method process should be conducted when Diabetic Nephropathy is detected at the earliest, which will help you avoid the variety of complications that will be caused due to this disease.
At present, the newest treatment for Diabetic Nephropathy and the complications is immunotherapy, which has been testified to be most effective clinically. You can find many related contents in our website or contact us online for further introduction of immunotherapy.

How to Reduce High Creatinine Levels Effectively
Creatinine is a substance produced by muscular activity when creatine
phosphate is broken down. As a waste product, it is filtered from the blood by
the kidneys, and so high creatinine levels in the blood can often indicate the
kidney malfunction.
Normal range of serum creatinine
A creatinine level is the measurement of the amount of creatinine in a sample of blood. Normal range levels for male are 0.6~1.2ml/dL. For females, the normal range is between 0.5~1.1mg/dL.
Serum creatinine is an important blood test in diagnosing kidney disease, especially when you have elevated high creatinine in the blood and low creatinine in the urine at the same time.
What causes high creatinine levels in kidney disease?
A change in kidney function is the most common cause of high creatinine levels in the blood. Our kidneys are composed of approximately one million filters for each kidney, called nephrons. One nephron contains a glomerular-and tubule unit. Most creatinine is normally excreted out along these filtering units, so we can maintain the low blood creatinine levels.
In kidney disease, the renal nephrons are damaged, so the filtrating units fail to expel the creatinine in the blood stream adequately, resulting in elevated creatinine levels. Diabetes and chronic high blood pressure are common causes of diminished kidney function.
How to reduce high creatinine levels effectively?
We have found that the causes of high creatinine levels in kidney disease are due to damages to the nephrons, so in order to lower it effectively, we must repair the impaired nephrons and recover the kidney function.
Here, we'd like to introduce a natural remedy which can help you reduce high creatinine levels, known as Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy. This natural treatment combines traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) with modern medical technology, and have been clinically used in our hospital to treat high creatinine and kidney disease successfully. You can find related contents in our website. Any questions, feel free to talk with our online doctors.

Prognosis of Polycystic Kidney Disease
Polycystic Kidney Disease alters our kidneys' inner structure, eventually
filling with multiple of cysts. The normal functioning kidney tissue is replaced
by cystic cells, so some patients experience a decrease in kidney functioning.
Almost all have high blood pressure and protein in urine. Then what's the
prognosis of Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD)?
As the cysts expand in the kidneys, patients may appear progressive kidney enlargement and renal insufficiency, in addition to various extrarenal manifestations. Polycystic Kidney Disease can be inherited in autosomal dominant and recessive forms. With progressive enlargement of the kidneys, Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) patients will develop to renal failure by age 50 to 60. This disease accounts for 2.5% of all cases of end-stage renal disease (ESRD).
In the U.S., Polycystic Kidney Disease is the fourth leading cause of kidney failure and approximately 600,000 people are affected by this illness. About 50 percent of people with autosomal dominant form of PKD develop to kidney failure by age 60 and about 60 percent will progress to kidney failure by age 70.
We can see that the prognosis of polycystic kidney disease is not good in general. However, if effective treatment can be adopted in time, we can prevent the progression to kidney failure so as to have a good control of the illness as have a favorable outcome.
The effective treatment should help us achieve these purposes including: 1) expand the blood vessels and improve the blood circulation on the cysts wall; 2) increase the permeability of the cyst wall; 3) shrink the cysts and reduce their pressure to the renal tissue; 4) improve the kidney function and the symptoms will all disappear naturally.
Only if we find such a standard therapy, Polycystic Kidney Disease can be treated in a correct way and sufferers' pain will get released. If you need any help, contact our online doctors. We will try our best to help you!

Diet for Nephrotic Syndrome Patients
Nephrotic Syndrome is caused due to various diseases and underlying disorders
that damage the kidneys, leading to excessive leakage of protein in the urine.
These disorders include membranous nephropathy, diabetic nephropathy, and focal
segmental glomerular sclerosis, etc. The glomeruli, small blood vessels that
filter wastes and excess water from the blood, are damaged. For people with
Nephrotic Syndrome, a proper diet can help alleviate the symptoms and slow the
progression of kidney disease.
Firstly, Nephrotic Syndrome patients are not recommended to have a high-protein diet, which may increase the burden of the kidneys, caused further damages, and result in development of renal insufficiency. Therefore, a low-protein diet, which reduce protein breakdown is more suitable.
Secondly, Nephrotic Syndrome patients need to arrange a low-sodium diet in order to control the swelling and high blood pressure. So foods with high salt content and use of table salt should be restricted.
Thirdly, Nephrotic Syndrome patients should limit the intake of high phosphorous foods, such as nuts, beans, and dairy products. Sodium may limit the kidneys' ability to eliminate phosphorus from the blood stream. High blood phosphorus levels can cause weaken bones, and make them easier to break.
Fourthly, Nephrotic Syndrome patients had better arrange a low saturated fat and cholesterol diet, which can decrease your risk of cardiovascular disease. Moreover, have a adequate intake of caloric diet, which can help keep an ideal body weight and maintain protein stores.
Diet therapy plays a complement role in Nephrotic Syndrome treatment and guarantee an even more satisfactory treatment effect. In China, we use the latest immunotherapy to treat kidney disease in a natural way. If you are still looking for better treatment, immunotherapy can certainly be a good choice.

Autoimmune Type 1 Diabetes: Causes and Treatment
Type 1 Diabetes, previously known as juvenile diabetes, is an autoimmune
disease that is usually diagnosed in children and young adults. In this
condition, the body does not produce insulin. What causes Type 1 Diabetes? How
to treat it effectively?
Causes of Type 1 Diabetes
Type 1 Diabetes is characterized by the production of autoantibodies-antibodies that target the body's own tissues and cells, that target the insulin-secreting beta cells of the pancreas. Without adequate insulin, blood sugar levels rise.
This form of diabetes is often found in association with other autoimmune disorders, especially those endocrine disorders, particularly those affecting thyroid and adrenal function.
Type 1 Diabetes is responsible for most cases of diabetes in children up to the age of 12 years. Most people who develop this illness do not have a family history. However, there is a definite genetic component.
The latest treatment for autoimmune Type 1 Diabetes-immunotherapy
Immunotherapy is the newest treatment for Type 1 Diabetes which develops based on many years' research and clinical practices. Nowadays, immunotherapy has been applied in clinic to treat Type 1 Diabetes successfully by our nephrologists.
Immunotherapy combines traditional Chinese medicine with the most advanced medical technology, and it aims to treat immune disease from the perspective of immune regulation.

A Brief Introduction of Urea Nitrogen
Urea concentration is measured as urea nitrogen. Measurement of urea nitrogen
in serum can be used to screen for decreased GFR, and the test is often called
blood urea nitrogen (BUN).
Urea is an organic chemical compound, and is essentially the waste produced by the body metabolizing protein. Naturally, the compound is produced when the liver breaks down protein or amino acids, and ammonia; the kidneys then transfer the urea from the blood to the urine. Excess nitrogen is excreted from the body through urea.
Urea nitrogen concentrations depends on:
1. Hepatic urea production
The urea production rate depends on hepatic function and digestion and catabolism of protein. In liver disease, for example, urea formation is decreased. While, urea formation increases with protein catabolism or increased protein digestion in the intestine.
2. Renal tubular flow rate
Urea can be filtered through the glomerulus and passively diffuses out of the tubules at a rate depending on renal tubular flow rate; the remainder of the filtered urea is expelled in urine. About 40% of filtered urea can be reabsorbed at high flow rate; at low flow rate, around 60% of filtered urea is reabsorbed and added back to the urea concentration of blood. Therefore, high UN levels can be seen with reduced GFR.
Increased urea nitrogen may appear due to factors including:
▪ Increased catabolism of protein: Fever, burns, corticosteroid administration, starvation, physical activity.
▪ Increase of protein digestion: high-protein diet, and hemorrhage into the gastrointestinal system.
▪ Reduced GFR: pre-renal, renal or post-renal causes.
Decreased urea nitrogen may occur due to reasons like:
▪ Decrease of protein intake or protein anabolism: limit of protein intake.
▪ Increased excretion: any cause of polyuria, such as Diabetes, hyperadrenocorticism.
▪ Decreased production: liver disease.
The above-mentioned is about introduction of urea nitrogen. If there is still any questions, feel free to consult our online experts.

Can Diabetic Nephropathy be Cured
Diabetic Nephropathy is a progressive kidney disease that results as a
significant long-term complication in terms of morbidity and mortality of
diabetes. Such a disease, most frequent in men, may cause death two or three
years after the initial lesions. Currently, Diabetic Nephropathy is the leading
cause of chronic kidney disease in the United State and other Western societies.
Then, can this disease be cured?
Actually, there is not an exact answer to this question due to a variety of disease condition. With early detection and prompt treatment, Diabetic Nephropathy can be cured.
We all know that there are five stages of Diabetic Kidney Disease, and Stage 1 to Stage 3 belong to the early stage of this disease. If effective treatment is carried out in these stages, patients in the Sage 1 can be cured, and the development of Stage 2 or Stage 3 can be effectively blocked.
In 2012, the newest treatment for Diabetic Nephropathy is called immunotherapy. It can treat eliminate the root cause of disease, so patients have great hope of recovering from diabetic kidney disease. Remember, the earlier you receive treatment, the better the curative effect is.

How Much Water can a Dialysis Patient Drink
How much water you can drink is dependent on individual condition. Generally,
the principle is to keep a balance.
Firstly, for patient who undergo kidney dialysis once a week, the intake of water should be urine output in 24h + 100ml. If you do not have urine, the water intake should be no more than 100ml per day.
Secondly, for patient who do dialysis two times per week, the intake of water should be urine output in 24h + 300ml. If you don't have urine output, the water intake should be no more than 300ml per day.
Finally, for patient who receive dialysis three times a week, the intake of water should be urine output in 24h + 500ml. If you have no urine, the water intake should be no more than 500ml per day.
The goal of water intake restriction is to help you feel comfortable before, during and after your dialysis sessions. Excessive fluid may build up may causes swelling and elevated blood pressure, which make your heart work harder. Water retention in the lungs can lead to breath problems. Therefore, you need to take the restriction of water seriously.
Besides, there are many helpful hints to manage your thirst during dialysis. You can consult our online experts if you need any help.

Immunotherapy Offers New Hope for Kidney Failure Patients
Kidney Failure, or renal failure is the last stage of a progressive
disease-chronic kidney disease (CKD). When this happens, your kidneys no longer
work well enough to keep you alive, so kidney dialysis or a kidney transplant
have to be adopted. In 2012, immunotherapy is developed as the latest treatment
for kidney failure, which offers new hope to help you live a free life with your
own kidneys.
Recent study shows that most of the kidney diseases (>95%) occurs due to immune dysfunction, so does kidney failure. The immune system is the collection of cells, tissues, and molecules that protects the body from numerous pathogenic microbes and toxins in our environment. Generally, it includes two components called innate immune system and adaptive immune system. Only when the former fails to function adequately, the latter will be activated to eliminate the invaders and help maintain a healthy state of the body.
However, immune dysfunction will appear when the innate immune system continues sending signals to stimulate the adaptive immune system to keep functioning, or the adaptive immune system loses self-control ability and cannot stop working in time. In this case, kidney damages can be caused. In the beginning, kidney failure may be asymptomatic. Unrecognized or untreated, gradual loss of kidney function will result in life-threatening circumstances.
How to treat kidney failure with immunotherapy?
After many years' research given by the nation's top nephrologists in our hospital, immunotherapy occur as the most advanced treatment for kidney failure and other kidney diseases. Immunotherapy is a holistic treatment which includes the following procedures:
1. New immunosuppressive medicines without any side effects are used to block further inflammatory response and stop further renal damages.
2. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy. This is innovative Chinese herbal therapy which can help you clear up the immune complexes deposits in the kidney as well as enhance the immune ability.
3. Immunotherapy. Immunotherapy are transfused into your body to help repair the damaged kidneys and regulate the immune system.
4. Immune clearance. Immunoadsorption, plasma exchange, and blood purification can be perform according to individual illness condition to guarantee a fundamental treatment effect.

Polycystic Kidney Disease Symptoms
Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is a genetic disorder featured by the growth
of numerous cysts filled with fluid in the kidneys. PKD cysts can reduce kidney
function, leading to Renal Failure. People with this disease may have symptoms
as follows.
Early stage
Initially, the symptoms may include high blood pressure, abdominal discomfort, blood in urine and frequent urinary tract infections.
Kidneys are responsible for regulating the blood pressure, so elevated blood pressure will appear when kidneys are not functioning adequately.
The enlargement of the kidneys will lead to pain in the flank, back or sides of the abdomen. Another cause of pain is kidney stones, which can be commonly seen in those with abnormal organs. Cysts on the liver or spleen may also result in back or abdominal pain.
Hematuria, or blood in urine, may present from the cyst that ruptures, or due to local damage of the kidney. PKD patients are more likely to be affected by infections of the urinary tract.
Late stage
With the growth of cysts, your symptoms may worsen, and other organs can be influenced. About 25% of patients may develop abnormal heart valves, which can result in palpitations or chest pain. In addition, patients with Polycystic Kidney Disease are more likely to get aneurysms and outpouchings of the walls of blood vessels.
Advanced stage
By the age of 60, around 50% of Polycystic Kidney Disease patients will progress to kidney failure. Unfortunately, symptoms including fatigue, weakness, anemia, generalized ill feeling, electrolyte imbalance, muscle spasm, etc will appear.

What are Complications of IgA Nephropathy (Berger's Disease)
IgA Nephropathy (Berger's disease) is a medical condition that causes IgA
protein to collect in a patient's kidneys. In many cases, our body uses IgA to
fight infections. This disease typically impairs the kidneys' ability to filter
excess water and wastes from the blood. Protein and blood can be released into
the urine. In many cases, IgA Nephropathy may go undiagnosed. Other people
develop one or more of the complications as below.
1. High blood pressure (hypertension)
Your kidneys perform the important function to help control blood pressure, so elevated blood pressure will occur due to damage to your kidneys caused by IgA deposits. In turn, hypertension can aggravate the disease condition.
2. Nephrotic Syndrome (NS)
This refers to a group of problems that caused by glomeruli impairment, including high levels of protein in urine, low blood protein levels, high cholesterol, and swelling (edema of the eyelids, feet and abdomen).
3. Acute Kidney Failure
If your kidneys lose their filtering ability due to IgA deposits, waste products will build up quickly in the blood. When this happens, you may have to undergo temporary kidney dialysis.
4. Chronic Kidney Failure
Chronic kidney failure is a common complication of IgA Nephropathy. The accumulation of IgA in the kidneys often reduces the ability of the kidneys to filter dangerous wastes from the body. Over time, your kidneys may stop functioning.
Conventional treatment focuses on slowing the disease and preventing complications, and the curative effect is always not satisfactory. Based on 26 years' clinical practices, experts in our hospital develop the latest treatment for kidney disease, called immunotherapy. We have made great achievements in treating IgA Nephropathy from the root with immunotherapy. This therapy brings new hope to more and more kidney disease patients from all over the world.

Mr. Kelvin, Chronic Renal Failure from Singapore
When Mr. Kelvin was diagnosed with Chronic Renal Failure, he never spent time
asking, "Why me?" Instead, he prepared himself for the battle ahead, waiting for
what he calls the "black cloud" to pass. After 26 day's integrated Chinese
medicine and western medicine treatment in our hospital, Mr. Kelvin's condition
had a significant improvement.

Complications of Diabetic Kidney Disease
Diabetic Kidney Disease, also known as Diabetic Nephropathy, is a progressive
disease characterized by nephrotic syndrome and diffuse glomerulosclerosis. It
is due to longstanding diabetes, and is the most common cause of chronic kidney
failure and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in the United States. Diabetic Kidney
Disease continues to get gradually worse, and complications as below can be
caused.
1. Hyperkalaemia-the failing kidneys fail to excrete potassium. In advanced chronic kidney disease, uncontrolled hyperkalaemia indicate need for dialysis.
2. Cardiovascular events-DN is complicated by a triad of inflammation, endothelial dysfunction and oxidative stress and is associated with marked cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.
3. Refractory hypertension-with the progressive loss of kidney function, high blood pressure will become very difficult to control.
4. Anaemia-as the disease progresses, there is an increasing prevalence and severity of anaemia.
5. Hypoglycaemia-this can be caused due to intensive treatment of hyperglycaemia because of impaired gluconeogenesis and because insulin and other oral hypoglycaemics are poorly cleared by the kidney.
6. Chronic renal failure requiring dialysis-patients with macroalbuminuria often die due to cardiovascular causes before developing into ESRD.
Initially, medicines are often used to treat Diabetic Kidney Disease and control blood pressure, but patients still have great chance to eventually develop kidney failure. When that occurs, it is likely you will need dialysis treatment or a kidney transplant.
In 2012, experts in Shijiahzhuang Kidney Disease Hospital develop an innovative treatment, called immunotherapy. Through eliminating the root cause and regulating the overall immune system, you kidney disease can be treated from the root, so further progression can be stopped. Early treatment may even reverse Diabetic Nephropathy.

Diet Plan for People with Type 2 Diabetes
Type 2 Diabetes is the most common form of Diabetes. Either the body does not
produce enough insulin or the cells ignore the insulin. Our body can break down
all of the sugars and starches of foods into glucose, the basic fuel for the
cells in the body. Insulin takes the sugar from the blood into the cells to make
into energy. If glucose builds up in the blood, diabetic complications like
glaucoma, nerve damage, etc may be caused. A proper diet can help us manage the
diabetes.
Protein-rich foods
Protein can provide amino acids to our body. Protein-rich foods also digest slower then carbohydrates, having a mellowing impact on blood glucose levels. You are suggested to restrict or eat no saturated fat foods, such as processed meats and whole milk, and eat fatty fish including salmon, herring, sardines, etc. Other fish such as cod and grouper, low-fat dairy products, egg whites and tofu supply additional lean, low-cholesterol protein options.
Whole grains
This kind of foods refer to grains that have not been stripped of vitamins, protein, minerals, and fiber during food processing. They are considered low-glycemic, which have a mild impact on the blood sugar levels. Research shows that Type 2 Diabetes symptoms can be improve by low-glycemic foods. Incorporated foods and dishes based on whole grains include whole wheat, wild rice, and brown rice, etc.
Fruits and vegetables
Fruits and vegetables are good sources of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. People with Type 2 Diabetes can fill half of your plate with non-starchy vegetables like leafy greens, broccoli, mushrooms, etc, 1/4 of the plate with a starch like brown rice, and 1/4 with lean protein, such as fish. Most fresh fruits and vegetables are low-glycemic, which can promote positive blood sugar levels.
The above is a general introduction about diet plan for people with Type 2 Diabetes. If there is anything unclear, feel free to talk with our online service.

Control Your Polycystic Kidney Disease with Proper Diet
A kidney support diet is generally considered as the best natural treatment
for Polycystic Kidney Disease. It can control the various symptoms of PKD,
keeping your kidneys healthy for longer. So dialysis can be delayed or even
avoided. Therefore, arrange a proper diet is an effective way to slow the
progression of your disease.
Low-protein diet
Protein is broken down by the liver, and a waste product called urea is produced. Our kidneys are responsible to get rid of wastes, so excess protein intake will put a strain on the kidneys.
The daily intake of 8g protein per kilo of body weight is recommended. You are suggested to eat less meat, cheese, and avoid beans, bean products. Use vegetables and grains as the main dishes and healthy fats such as avocados and olive oil can be added when excess calories are needed.
Low-salt diet
Cut back on salt can help you keep your electrolytes balanced. Electrolytes are vital minerals in the body, such as calcium, sodium, potassium, and magnesium. Kidneys can help us keep these in balance. Too much intake of salt can break the delicate balance, even causing high blood pressure in PKD.
Instead of using salt, you can use garlic powder, onion powder or other herbs and spices. Limit the use of sauces like soy sauce and ketchup. Avoid highly processed foods like meats, soups, and vegetables that come in cans.
No oxalic acid
Trying to avoid putting extra strain on your kidneys, you need to stay away from high oxalic acid foods, such as spinach, rhubarb, beets, eggplants, and cocoa.
While having a proper diet, you need to take positive treatment for Polycystic Kidney Disease. Based on 26 years' experience and expertise in treating PKD, the nation's top nephrologists in our hospital find a natural treatment-Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy. This therapy had been successfully used in clinic. You can find related explanation in our website or consult our online experts.

Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR): How can You Increase It with Diet
Glomerular filtration is the process by which the kidneys filter the blood,
excreting waste products and fluids. Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) is a
calculation that determines how well the blood is filtered by the kidneys. A GFR
under 60 mL/min/1.73m2 may indicate kidney disease-the lower the number is, the
worse the kidney function. Then how to increase it with dietary therapy?
Firstly, increase the daily intake of water unless you are undergoing dialysis.
Drink water to replace other drinks like soda. Drink alcoholic beverage moderately. For a female, the daily amount should be less than one small, and two small for a male. You can discuss the daily water intake with your doctor, or consult our online experts. For those who are receiving dialysis, it is necessary to limit the fluid intake.
Secondly, reduce the sodium intake.
The damaged kidneys fail to expel extra sodium and fluid, so water and sodium retention, and high blood pressure can be caused. You had better avoid eating processed, canned and frozen foods. Use fresh meats to replace the cured meats. Choose spices and herbs instead of table salt. This suggestion is suitable whether or not you are on dialysis.
Thirdly, limit the intake of fatty and high-calorie food.
High fatty and calorie foods will increase your risk for hypertension and obesity. In turn, the kidney disease can be aggravated. Limit the consume of oil, butter, margarine, and salad dressings you use. Pick low-fat dairy products.
Finally, increase the amount of fruits and vegetables.
Replace products like white bread made of refined grains with grain foods such as whole-wheat pasta and bread. These foods can help boost your general health and help you maintain a healthy weight.
The above are some suggestions. Consult a dietitian to determine the best dietary arrangement for increasing GFR and kidney health.

Diet for People with Diabetic Nephropathy
Diabetic Nephropathy (DN) refers to kidney problems due to diabetes mellitus.
These include the excretion of protein in the urine (proteinuria) and slowly
developing Renal Failure. A person with this disease need to avoid some foods
and limit the amount of others. Waste products that failing kidneys are unable
to handle include fluids, protein, sodium, potassium, and phosphorus.
Limit the intake of fluids
The damaged kidneys can not function normally to clean extra fluids, and fluids accumulation may lead to shortness of breath, high blood pressure and swelling of the hands, feet and legs. Congestive heart failure and fluid retention of the lungs can even be caused. Therefore, fluids intake, including all foods that melt to a liquid at room temperature need to be limited.
Restrict the intake of protein
Healthy kidneys can excrete protein byproducts out of the body, but impaired kidneys fail to function well, leading to accumulation of the end product of protein metabolism, urea, in the blood. So it is necessary to restrict protein intake. You need to resort to complete or high-quality proteins, such as eggs, meat, fish, fowl, and some dairy products. Avoid low-quality proteins that are found in vegetables, fruits, starches, breads, and cereals.
Low-sodium diet
Sodium can regulate the fluid balance in our body, and excess amounts of salt in diet may result in water retention, thus leading to high blood pressure, sudden increase in weight, swelling of the body tissues, shortness of breath, etc. Have a low sodium diet and avoid high sodium content foods, such as processed meats, chips or nuts, sauces, and canned foods.
Potassium and phosphorus
High potassium levels in the blood may lead to muscle weakness, cardiac arrhythmias, or even sudden death. Too much phosphorus may cause the bones to become brittle and break easily. Phosphorus rich foods are dairy products, meats, shellfish, bran, whole grain products, beans, nuts, and chocolate.

Detailed Instruction for Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy
Ⅰ. Required Components
Osmoscope, Osmotic medicine, penetrants, electrode plates (2), vessel (1), power (1), heating oven
Ⅱ. Operating steps
Step One: Soak the osmotic medicine with penetrant in a vessel (At the beginning, apply one bag of osmostic medicine with one bag of penetrant, then follow the doctors' instructions for the dosage.)
Step Two: heat the soaked medicine bag with heating oven evenly until all the medicine is heated thoroughly (heat the medicine bag for 2-4 minutes with microwave oven while at home).
Ⅲ. Electrotherapy
Detailed instructions are as follows:
1. Put a sanitary cloth sized approximately 50*70cm on bed, in order to avoid contaminating the bed cloth when the medication overflows.
2. Wrinkle the sanitary cloth at the middle as "n" shape, the height of which exceeds that of the medicine bags (See figure 2).
3. The two electrode plates are put on the sanitary cloth with the plates' upper edge 5 cm from the sanitary cloth edge and with the wire edges of the two electrode plates slightly far than the opposite ends of the two plates, actually showing "八" shape.
4. Put the well-heated medicine bags on the two electrode plates respectively, isolating with sanitary cloth in the middle.
5. Press the two medicine bags with your hands to make the surface flat.
6. Patients lie down on the two bags, with renal area (approximately the waist part on back) right on the two medicine bags, and lower edges of the two kidneys is 10cm up the two frontal carinas and center of the medicine bags is the two kidneys' location.
7. After lying down, first, connect the osmoscope to the power and choose electrotherapy mode. The specific way is to turn the amperage knob gradually from left to right until you feel comfortable when the body get used to certain amperage, and keep certain amperage, then increase to appropriate amperage according to one's bearing capacity.
8. Time control for electrotherapy. Each period for the osmoscope is expected to last 45 minutes and patients can take 1-2 periods each time according to his feelings (i.e. 45-90 minutes each time). They can take a rest during the process and listen to gentle music to relax themselves.
9. When the process is finished, patients can get up after the power is cut off first, then wipe the medication fluid at the renal area gently with a warm wet cloth and get dressed to avoid catching a cold.
The above-mentioned is a complete osmostic electrotherapy process of Macro-Chinese Medicine osmotherapy, which should be taken twice per day. And you can contact experts during the operation when you have problems.
Ⅳ. Notes for operation
1. The medicine bags must be put right on the renal area during the process, or the expected effect can not be achieved.
2. Press the medicine bags to make the surface flat, so that the body skin can touch the bags closely. There shouldn't be space between the skin and bags.
3. Humidity of the medicine bags: It can neither be too dry, or the resistant will be high; nor be too wet, or short circuit will happen easily and medicine can not be penetrated into the body.
4. Temperature control of the medicine: temperature will be ok if patients feel comfortable; burn would occur when temperature is too high, while effect would not be that good if too low.
Ⅴ. Choosing of Amperage
1. Low current should be applied to patients with diseases like diabetic nephropathy, PKD, severe hematuria, proteinuria and children.
2. As to other nephrotic patients at different stages, Amperage should be ok if they feel comfortable.
Ⅵ. Micro-Chinese Medicine is an externally applied therapy, which is safe and is found to have no obvious side effects through years of clinical application. During application, patients should contact with their physician in charge in time if they have uncomfortable symptoms.

Will Kidney Failure Lead to Death
Healthy kidneys are responsible for cleaning the extra fluid, minerals and
other bodily wastes collected by the blood. They also help balance the volume of
electrolytes and regulate the pH range of the body. In addition, the kidneys
release renin, a hormone which can control blood pressure. Kidney failure
appears when the kidneys lost their functionality due to injury to the filtering
units-nephrons, fluids, salts and waste will accumulate in the blood stream.
Will kidney failure cause death?
Actually, the term "kidney failure" does not denote an automatic death sentence. Renal Failure can be divided into five stages, and the disease progresses gradually, usually over of months and years. With effective treatment, we can prevent further development and restore the damaged kidneys.
At present, the most advanced treatment for Renal Failure is immunotherapy, mainly combining Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy and Immunotherapy. Under this holistic treatment, the renal function will get recovered over time, and you can live a normal life once again. Immunotherapy is the new hope for kidney disease patients.
Certainly, the specific treatment plan and curative effects depend on your individual condition. You can talk with our online service for free help.

Exercise in Diabetic Nephropathy
Diabetic Nephropathy affects 40% of type Ⅰand type Ⅱ diabetic patients and is
the leading cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The risk of death also
increases mainly due to cardiovascular disorders. The earliest clinical evidence
of nephropathy is microalbuminuria.
Renal damage can be caused by accumulation of advanced glycosylation end products and changes in glomerular mesangium structure, so regulation of blood glucose levels can ameliorate the Diabetic Nephropathy progression. Exercise can improves glycemic control and decrease mortality from cardiovascular diseases in diabetics, so patients should do regular and proper exercises while receiving medical treatment.
The following are some suggestions and hope they can be helpful to you:
Firstly, people with initial diabetic kidney disease (microalbuminuria >20 mg/min) or obvious diabetic kidney disease (>200 mg/min) can mainly have proper aerobic exercise like walking. Regular exercise and walk would keep your sugar level balanced.
Secondly, if you have protein in the urine, it is necessary to undergo a cardiovascular assessment and avoid strenuous, high-intensity exercise programs. Low- to moderate-intensity activity is suggested to you.
Besides doing regular exercises, successful management of your condition also include taking medicines to control the blood pressure and remedy protein in the urine, keep the blood sugar within a target range (70~130 mg/dL before meals, 110~150 mg/dL at bedtime, and less than 180 mg/dL one to two hours after meals). If the disease progresses to kidney failure eventually, your doctor may suggest the dialysis treatment or a kidney transplant to sustain your life.
Based on 26 years' experience and expertise in kidney disease treatment, the nation's top experts develop the latest treatment-immunotherapy, which combines modern western medical technology with Chinese medicine. We personalize your care to include the most-advanced treatments with no side effects. If you have been diagnosed with Diabetic Nephropathy, we are here to help.

How to Fix IgA Nephropathy with Immunotherapy
IgA Nephropathy (Berger's Disease) is an autoimmune kidney disease that
causes inflammation in the kidneys. Deposition of the antibody IgA collect in
the kidney. One of the first symptoms seen is hematuria, or blood in the urine.
This may progress to renal or kidney failure if untreated. How to fix this
disorder?
As one of the largest kidney disease specialized hospital in the world, we have the most advanced technology and techniques including the most advance Immunotherapy. This foreign technology is introduced as a brand new method for kidney disease treatment, and has been successfully applied in clinical practices to help patients recover from refractory kidney diseases.
As for the treatment for IgA Nephropathy, Immunotherapy can grasp the essence, block the sustained renal injury, solve the problems that the symptoms are hard to turn negative, protect the healthy renal cells and tissues, and recover the damaged kidney function. Moreover, Immunotherapy also play the bilateral role of immune regulation, adjusting the self-immune function and adjusting function. With normal kidney structure, IgA kidney disease will not be induced once again.
How to fix IgA Nephropathy with Immunotherapy?
After transfusing certain number of Immunotherapy into the body, they will endless proliferate and differentiate into desired cells. The treatment effects are:
▪ Regenerate healthy immune cells to rebuild the immune function;
▪ Inhibit the pathogenic antibody;
▪ Promote the production of normally functional antibodies;
▪ Repair the renal cells and damaged glomerular filtration membrane, so symptoms like proteinuria, occult blood, edema, etc will disappear gradually;
▪ Restore the kidney function so as to treat the disease from the root.
Is there still anything unclear about our treatment? If you need any help, contact our online service for free consultation.

Is Immunotherapy Effective in Treating Diabetes Type 2
Diabetes Type 2 (also called adult-onset diabetes), is the most common type
of diabetes, affecting 85% to 90% of all diabetics. It is more likely to affect
older, sedentary, and overweight individuals with a family history of diabetes.
In this case, the pancreas makes some insulin but interaction mechanism of
insulin with cells is violated (insulin resistibility). Then how to treat
Diabetes Type 2 effectively?
Conventionally, persons with this disease often control their blood glucose concentrations through a combination of diet, exercise, and oral medication. However, over time most patients will also progress to the stage when only insulin therapy will control the glucose levels in the blood.
Traditional treatments can not guarantee a satisfactory effect. Actually, in order to treat Diabetes Type 2 from the root, we need to eliminate the root cause-abnormal β-cells of pancreas. Immunotherapy can help us realize this goal.
Application of Immunotherapy in case of this disease is proved by great number of clinical practices. In our hospital, mesenchymal Immunotherapy and Immunotherapy blood Immunotherapy are mainly chosen to successfully treat diabetes and various kidney diseases.
Immunotherapy are unspecialized cells capable of renewing themselves through cells division and differentiating into specific cells with special functions. With appropriate culture, they can regenerate desired cells.
During the process of Type 2 Diabetes treatment, we can infuse proper amount of Immunotherapy into patient's body through veins. They will differentiate into healthy β-cells of pancreas so as to enhance the production of endogenous insulin. Moreover, the C Peptide levels get increased and elevated blood sugar levels are regulated. So the disease can be treated effectively with Immunotherapy.

Can Polycystic Kidney Disease Lead to Cancer
Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is a group of diseases featured by dilatation
of the tubular units of the kidney. The renal tubules are responsible for
processing the 140 liters of fluid filtered by the glomerulus. Cystic tubules
fail to function well, causing fluid retention, hypertension, and Renal Failure
requiring dialysis or a transplant. Well, can PKD lead to cancer?
Medical professionals describe two major inherited forms of Polycystic Kidney Disease and a non-inherited form:
▪ Autosomal dominant PKD-the most common inherited form. Symptoms often develop between the ages of 30 and 40, but they can begin earlier, even in childhood.
▪ Autosomal recessive PKD is a rare inherited form. Symptoms may begin in the earliest months of life, even in the womb.
▪ Acquired cystic kidney disease (ACKD) develops in association with long-term kidney problems, especially in patients who have kidney failure and who have been on dialysis for a long time. It tends to occur in later years of time, and it is not an inherited form of PKD.
ACKD affects patients with chronic renal failure and causes hematuria, erythrocytosis (increase in red blood cells), and is associated with the development of kidney cancer. With kidney cancer, other symptoms may include a lump or mass in the side or the abdomen, weight loss, fever, fatigue, etc.
Other proposed risk factors for developing kidney cancer includes:
1. Smoking. Kidney cancer may be caused due directly to smoking, and it doubles the risk of developing cancer.
2. Long-term kidney failure. In this case, some patients receive dialysis over a long period of time, and may develop cysts in the kidneys. So kidney cancer may develop from the cells that line these cysts.
3. People who are overweight and eat a high-fat diet have a greater risk.
4. Adults between the ages of 50 to 70 years.
5. Men have double risk than women.

Life Expectancy of People with Stage 4 Kidney Failure
Your diagnosis of Stage 4 Kidney Failure may have come as a surprise, or you
may have known for years that your kidneys were not healthy. In this stage, the
disease is compatible with life, meaning that one can live for a long time is
you take the steps to preserve kidney function that is left, so you do not
progress to Stage 5 (end-stage renal disease, or ESRD).
A person with Stage 4 Kidney Failure has advanced kidney damage with a severe decrease in the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) to 15 to 30ml/min. It is likely that you need receive dialysis or a kidney transplant in the near future. However, appropriate treatment in time can slow or even stop the usual progress to complete failure, help you avoid dialysis or kidney transplant, and greatly prolong your life expectancy.
As one of the largest kidney disease specialized hospital in the world, we have the most advanced technology and techniques for kidney disease treatment.

How to Lower the Level of Urea Nitrogen
Urea is a substance secreted by the liver as a waste product of the digestion
of protein, and removed from the blood by the kidneys. Normal human adult blood
should contain 7~25 mg of urea nitrogen per 100ml of blood. The amount of
nitrogen in the blood can be measured with the BUN test. The most common cause
of an elevated BUN, azotemia, is poor kidney function. While, how to lower the
level of urea nitrogen in the blood?
Causes of elevated BUN in kidney disease
The primary function of the kidneys is to filter the waste products from the blood and remove them via urine. Each day, our kidneys filter through a total of about 200 quarts of blood and remover up to 2 quarts of waste and excess water. The tiny filters are called glomeruli.
For persons with kidney disease, the filtration ability of glomeruli is damaged, leading to the build up of metabolic waste in the body.
Symptoms of elevated BUN
Knowing the symptoms of blood urea can greatly increase the chance of catching this malady before it causes irreversible damage. They includes: pain in the lower back, pain when urinating, fatigue, an overall weariness and low energy levels, dehydration, low blood pressure, an ammonia-like taste in the mouth, and a strong odor of bad breath, etc.
Treatment
The treatment we adopt should not only eliminate your discomforts but also remove the root cause-damaged kidney filtration function.
Based on 26 year's experience and expertise in kidney disease treatment, the nation's top nephrologists in our hospital develop the latest therapy to restore the kidney function-immunotherapy.
Immunotherapy combines the advantages of traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine. The specific treatment options include Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy, Immunotherapy, advanced plasma exchange, immunoadsorption, etc. Individual treatment plan will be provided for you according to your own condition. Please contact our online service if you have any questions.
