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.
