The Latest Treatment for IgA Nephropathy (Berger's Disease): Immunotherapy

IgA Nephropathy (Berger's Disease) is a form of glomerulonephritis. Damage is caused in the kidney by the abnormal buildup of IgA immune complex due to an autoimmune disorder. Based on the pathological causes of IgA Nephropathy, immunotherapy-the latest treatment for immune disease, is developed in our hospital.

Immunotherapy is an integrated therapy which combines the advantages of western medicine and Chinese medicine. The general treatment procedure includes six steps as follows.

The first step: a brand new diagnosis.

In our hospital, we stick to one principle all the time, that is the treatment should be based on an accurate diagnosis of each patient's illness condition. Therefore, we firstly arrange a systemic diagnosis and evaluation for patients. The diagnostic system is the the most advanced both at home and abroad.

The second step: brand new medicines.

Based on the common immunosuppressive medications, we create a set of immune block treatment, namely a powerful immune suppression method which can rapidly restrain the undue inflammatory response in the kidneys.

The third step: immune tolerance stage.

Before we remove the IgA immune complex, we need to make the body to be adaptable to these deposits so as to prevent further immune response.

The fourth step: immune adjustment treatment.

In this stage, Traditional Chinese medicine trigeminy stereo therapy, especially our characteristic Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy, is applied to promote blood circulation and removing blood stasis so that we can clear away the immune complex effectively. Moreover, Chinese prescription is used to enhance the overall immunity.

The fifth step: immune protection treatment.

In order to protect the damaged kidney inherent cells and tissues, western medicine mainly include the infection of glucocorticoid is used to protect cells and tissues, and other related Chinese medicine can also be utilized to supply qi and blood. Besides, Immunotherapycan help us restore the renal function and immune system.

The sixth step:immune clearance treatment.

Immune complex can be cleared up completely with the technologies of immunoadsorption, plasmapheresis, and blood purification.


The above is an introduction about immunotherapy for IgA Nephropathy. If you or your beloved are haunted by this disease, you can try this most advanced therapy for satisfactory curative effect.

The Best Treatment of IgA Nephropathy: Immunotherapy

Immunotherapy is the newest characteristic therapy of Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital, which can treat immune-mediated kidney disease including IgA Nephropathy from the perspective of immune regulation.

Before we talk about the treatment, it is necessary to make the pathogenesis of IgA Nephropathy clear. IgA Nephropathy is caused due to autoimmune function deficiency of mucosa. When you get an infection of the upper respiratory tract (amygdalitis, rhinitis, pharyngitis, etc), gastrointestinal tract or urinary system, the bacterial virus can enter into your body easily. Then IgA molecue with abnormal structure, as some type of antigen, will combine with autoantibody to form immune complex. With the blood circulation, the immune complex will deposit at glomerular capillary loops and mesangial area, thus damaging the mesangial cells. After being damaged, the mesangial cells are activated and start to proliferate. With the accumulation of immune complex, the filtrating barrier function of mesangial cells is impaired, so the blood cells and proteins are leaked out. That is why patients with IgA Nephropathy may have blood, protein or both in urine.

Then how to treat IgA Nephropathy effectively with immunotherapy?

Based on the causes of IgA Nephropathy, immunotherapy aims at treating it from the root. Under this therapy, we can eliminate the immune complex, repair the damaged renal intrinsic cells and tissues, and restore the kidney function. What's more, the immune system gets regulated.

The herbal remedy, called Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can help us block further damages, dilate blood vessels, promote the micro-circulation, repair the damages renal intrinsic cells, and remove the stasis in channels. In this way, a favorable environment is provided by application of Chinese medicine.

Then Immunotherapy is utilized to restore the kidney structure and regulate the overall immune system. Immunotherapy have ability of self-renewal and multi-replication. They can defferentiate into desired renal cells to replace the necrotic cells, thus achieving the goal of restoring the renal function and regulating the immune system. Therefore, IgA Nephropathy can be treated fundamentally by immunotherapy.


The crucial point of a good curative effect lies in early stage treatment, so patients with IgA Nephropathy had better receive effective treatment as soon as possible.

Early Symptoms of IgA Nephropathy (Berger's Disease)

IgA Nephropathy (Berger's disease) is a kind of auto immune disease. As the most common cause of glomerulonephritis, it accounts for about 45% of cases. Originally thought to be benign, it is now known that many patients with IgA Nephropathy can progress to Renal Failure. Recognizing the following early symptoms of this disease contributes to prompt treatment.

● Urinary changes

a. You may find changes of the urine color. When you present cola- or tea-colored urine, you need to take it serious and go to see a doctor as early as possible.
b. You may detect much foams or bubbles in urine and it can last for long period. This is an possible indication of protein in urine.

c. You may have abnormal output of urine. For healthy people, it is normal to have 4~8 times urination per day and the urinary output amounts to 1500ml. If your urine output increases or decreases suddenly when you have no fever, much sweat or excessive water intake, you need to go to the hospital for check in case of IgA Nephropathy.

d. You may need to get up frequently in the night to urinate. In normal circumstances, people younger than 60 years old should not have this condition. If a young man has nocturia, you man have declined renal function.

● Swelling (edema)

After getting up in the morning, you may have eye puffiness, and swelling face. The edema will remit late in the day, but get serious after strenuous work which can be relieved after rest. In the cases of severe edema, you may have ankles swelling, and edema in double lower extremities and feet, etc.

● Backache (lumbago)

You may have unexplained backache. It is necessary to check the kidneys, spine and lumbar back muscles and so forth.

● Sexual problems

For males, you may have sexual problems like spermatorrhoea and infertility.

So far, the best treatment for IgA Nephropathy is immunotherapy, which can help us eliminate the root cause. If you are find better treatmen for your disease, immunotherapy is your good choice.

What Causes IgA Nephropathy (Berger's Disease)

IgA Nephropathy (Berger's Disease) is a chronic kidney disease that often first appears during adolescence and young adulthood and often progress to Renal Failure. It usually follows a viral infection of the upper respiratory or gastrointestinal tracts. The major symptoms include blood in urine (hematuria), protein in urine, occasionally associated pain in the loin area. Then what causes IgA Nephropathy?

IgA Nephropathy belongs to a kind of mucosal immune deficiency disease. Patients with this disorder may have two deficiencies of the body: the mucosal immune deficiency causes IgA receptor abnormalities in the body; abnormal structure of IgA antibody.

IgA Nephropathy occurs due to either of the above structural abnormalities. In this case, when you are affected by infections of the upper respiratory tract, urinary system, or gastrointestinal tract, etc, you are more likely to develop IgA Nephropathy. Moreover, without effective control of the infection, the disease may relapse easily.

When you get an infection, there will be excessive inflammatory response within the body. And the normal renal glomerular mesangial cells can be damaged, so their filtration function is impaired. Consequently, macromolecules like protein and red blood cells are released into the urine. In clinical, patients will present proteinuria and hematuria.

Prompt treatment in the early stage can still reverse the illness condition. However, if the tissue become scarred, IgA Nephropathy will progress to end-stage renal disease (ESRD), or even Uremia. Therefore, you had better treat it as early as possible.


In 2012, the newest treatment for immune defect kidney disease including IgA Nephropathy is called immunotherapy. It can treat IgA Nephropathy from the perspective of immune regulation. Many patients with refractory kidney disease have been treated successfully by immunotherapy. Therefore, if you are still looking for better therapy for your illness, immunotherpay can be a good choice.

Complications of IgA Glomerulonephritis

IgA Glomerulonephritis, also known as Berger's disease, IgA Nephritis, refers to a medical condition that causes IgA protein to accumulate in the kidneys. Individuals between the ages of 20 and 40, men individuals with a family history of IgA Glomerulonephritis are more likely to develop this disease. With the developing of the illness condition, many severe complications will appear.

● High blood pressure (hypertension)

High blood pressure is not a desirable complication of IgA Glomerulonephritis. Damage to the kidneys and the resulting buildup of wastes in the blood stream can raise the blood pressure. What's worse, hypertension will in turn aggravate the patients' situation.

● Nephrotic Syndrome

This is a group of signs and symptoms that may accompany IgA Glomerulonephritis and other conditions that affect the filtering ability of the glomeruli.
Nephrotic syndrome is characterized by high urine protein levels, resulting in low protein levels in the blood; high blood cholesterol; and swelling from fluid retention (edema) of the eyelids, feet and abdomen.

● Acute Renal Failure

In IgA Nephropathy, the filtration function of nephrons is damaged, so waste products will accumulate rapidly. In this case, you have to resort to dialysis to remove excessive fluid and waste from the blood.

● Chronic Renal Failure

This is an extremely severe complication, and the renal function is impaired over time. As a result, kidneys gradually lose function. If the remaining kidney function is less than 10% of normal capacity, you are diagnosed as end-stage renal disease, which usually requires dialysis or a kidney transplant to sustain life.


To prevent the appearance of the above serious complications, patients with IgA Glomerulonephritis should receive scientific treatment in specialized kidney disease hospital. With the development of medical technology, a systemic treatment for IgA Nephropathy has been formed, called immunotherapy. It can block further damages, repair renal intrinsic cells, and has achieved significant curative effect in clinical.

Diet for People with Different Stages of IgA Nephropathy (Berger's Disease)

According to the pathological changes of the kidneys, IgA Nephropathy (Berger's disease) can be divided into 5 stages, and the dietary arrangement also varies with different symptoms of patients.

The first stage: minimal change

Patients have no obvious symptoms in this stage, and they may present lower back pain, mild swelling, and simple hematuria accompany with or without mild protein in urine. Patients need to supplement Iron, Zinc, Cuprum and Manganese. Milk and carrots can be taken to accelerate metabolism and improve overall immunity. In addition, fresh vegetables and fruits, such as tomato, watermelon, cucumber, etc, are proper choice. Much intake of water and a low-salt diet is also recommended.
The second stage: mild change

In this stage, patients may present microscopic hematuria with mild proteinuria. Patients can eat some apples, black sesame, etc.

The third stage: Focal Segmental Glomerular Sclerosis (FSGS)

High blood pressure can be commonly seen in this stage, so patients can eat foods like green vegetables, oatmeal and kelp to decrease blood pressure. Besides, it is possible to drink some yogurt and green tea. Animal fat intake should be limited.

The fourth stage: diffuse mesangial proliferative glomerular nephritis
Some patients may have massive protein in urine, low protein levels in blood, and microscopic hematuria. It is necessary to supply low-quantity high-quality protein by eating foods including eggs, milk, lean meat, etc. For those with normal kidney function, the protein intake is about 1~1.5g/Kg/day. If the renal function is damaged, the amount can be limited to 0.6~0.8g/Kg/day.

The fifth stage: diffuse sclerosing glomerular nephritis

Patients have entered into Renal Failure, or even Uremia. To reduce the burden of kidneys, patients are required to limit protein intake. For those who have large amount of urine output, you can eat some foods contained potassium like peanuts and mung beans. If patients have no Diabetes, they can supplement certain amount of fat and sugar.


Diet plays a complementary role in IgA Nephropathy (Berger's disease) treatment. Certainly, effective treatment in the early stage is the most important point.

Diagnosis of IgA Nephropathy (Berger's Disease)

IgA Nephropathy, or Berger's disease, is recognized as the most common type of glomerulonephritis throughout the world. Patients may preset at any age, but there is a peak incidence in the second and third decades of life and has male predominance. Up to 40% of patients with IgA Nephropathy progress to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) within 25 years. However, with an early diagnosis, the further development of IgA Nephropathy can be prevented. Then, how to diagnosis of IgA Nephropathy?

IgA Nephropathy can be divided into two types: primary and secondary. Both of types are characterized by mesangial deposition of IgA. Secondary IgA Nephropathy may occur in patients with systemic autoimmune diseases, mucosal diseases, cirrhosis, and hematologic diseases. The following is an introduction of diagnostic approach of IgA Nephropathy.

When diagnosing IgA Nephropathy, the doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. The history often includes the recent occurrence of an upper respiratory tract infection. A physical exam is also conducted to check blood pressure, edema, etc.

Urine tests will be ordered. Blood or protein in the urine may be the first sign of IgA Nephropathy. The doctor dips a special strip with chemicals into the urine sample. The strip changes color if blood or protein exists in the urine.

A blood test shows if there's a build up of body metabolic wastes in the bloodstream, such as blood urine nitrogen (BUN) and serum creatinine.

The definite diagnosis of IgA Nephropathy can only be made by a kidney biopsy. In this procedure, a fine needle is inserted into the kidney using ultrasound as a guide and taking a tiny tissue sample that is then checked for protein deposits using a microscope.


The above is an introduction of diagnosis of IgA Nephropathy. No matter what kind of disease, early diagnosis and prompt treatment are both helpful for your recovery. Therefore, once diagnosed, patients need to receive standard treatment as early as possible. Immunotherapy is the best treatment of IgA Nephropathy, which has brought new hope to many patients with kidney disease. You can browse more associated articles in our website.

How long can someone live after their kidneys shut down

Kidneys shut down is a condition that the kidneys fail to function normally, so they can not filter blood, keep the acid-base balance, and secrete necessary hormones. Actually, the life expectancy of people with shutdown kidneys varies from patient to patient. It depends on many factors, among which the most important factor is treatment method. With effective method, the function of shutdown kidneys can recover, so patients can live a relatively long life.

Approximately 95% of kidney shutdown cases are caused due to immune abnormality or immune dysfunction. In this case, excessive inflammatory response will appear, during which more and more immune complexes are generated and then deposits in the kidneys through blood circulation. Over time, the kidneys shutdown are caused.


Immunotherapy is the latest treatment for kidneys shutdown, which can restrain suppress the abnormal immune reaction, clear up the immune complex deposition, restore the renal function, and regulate the immune system. Through recovering the function of the shutdown kidneys from the underlying causes, patients will certainly live a prolonged live.

Causes of Hematuria(Blood in Urine) in Kidney Disease

Hematuria is the presence of red blood cells in the urine. It can often detected in patients with various kidney diseases. The text will make an explanation of causes of hematuria in kidney disease, and we hope this will be helpful for you.

Classification of hematuria

They are two basic types of hematuria:

● Microscopic hematuria: There are small amounts of blood presenting in the urine, which can be seen only under a microscope.

● Gross (or macroscopic) hematuria: It is visible to the naked eye. The urine may be pink or red. It may even contain small blood clots.

It should be noticed that hematuria in any amount is potentially serious. The amount of blood present doesn't necessarily indicate the relative seriousness of the underlying problem.

Causes of hematuria (blood in urine) in kidney disease

For healthy people, there are usually no red blood cells or little red blood cells in the urine. Hematuria may be detected if there are red blood cells in urine, or red blood cells are over 3/HPF in microscopic test. Renal hematuria is derived from the kidneys.

When the kidneys are damaged, their filtration ability is damaged and the permeability of glomerular basement membrane increases, so macro-molecules like red blood cells are leaked out into the urine.

How to treat hematuria in kidney disease?

According to the above analysis, we have make it clear that hematuria in kidney disease is caused mainly by the damages to glomerular filtration membrane, so if we want to treat hematuria, we must repair the impaired glomerulus and recover renal function. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is just this kind of therapy.


Under the treatment of Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherpay, the further renal damages can be blocked, the impaired kidney intrinsic cells and tissues are repaired and the renal structure gets restored gradually. If the kidney function recovers, hematuria will disappear spontaneously.

What Causes High Creatinine Level

Creatinine is a natural by-product of muscles doing work in your body, which can be introduced into the blood and excreted into the urine by the kidneys. High creatinine levels often indicate a decline in kidney function.

Kidneys can remove extra fluid and waste product by filtering blood. Creatinine is a common waste of product excreted by the kidneys. In normal circumstances, the creatinine level is constant (from 0.5~1.2 mg/dl for men). When the kidney filtering urines become damaged, waste products will build up in the blood and cause toxic effects. Creatinine is just one of the build-up wastes. Causes of high creatinine levels are as follows:

Firstly, high creatinine levels can be caused by transient effects including dehydration, increased amounts of weight training, or meat consumption. In this condition, you need to test the values and track it for periods of time to see if there is a pattern of increase.

Secondly, high blood pressure can lead to elevated creatinine levels. Due to hypertension, the blood vessels can be damaged, so they cannot filter wastes normally. You can take medications like ACE inhibitors to reduce the high blood pressure.

Thirdly, Diabetes can result in high creatinine levels, because it can cause many complications including damage to nerves and blood vessels. As a severe complication, Diabetic Nephropathy will impair the filtering units and cause high creatinine.

Finally, long-term taking of some common medications, such as over-the-counter painkillers, can also result in high creatinine levels. Therefore, if you are likely to have kidney problem and have to take these medicines regularly, it is necessary to consult your doctor.


The above mentioned are about causes of elevated creatinine levels. If you have any doubts of high creatinine, feel free to talk with our online experts. We are always ready to help you!

Top 10 Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) Facts

1. Urea nitrogen is primary final product of protein metabolism, which can be excreted by the kidneys.

2. The liver produces ammonia-which contains nitrogen-after is breaks down proteins used by the body's cells. The nitrogen combines with other elements like carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, to form urea. With the bloodstream, the urea travels from the liver to the kidneys. Healthy kidneys filter urea and other wastes from blood into the urea.

3. A blood urea nitrogen (BUN) test measures the amount of nitrogen in the blood that comes from the waste product urea. This test is done to see: 1) if the kidneys are working normally; 2) if the kidney disease is getting worse; 3) if the treatment of kidney disease is working; 4) check for severe dehydration.

4. A normal person’s blood urea nitrogen is 2.9-7.1mmol/L and for these over 60, their blood urea nitrogen level is 2.8-7.8mmol/L.

5. If the BUN is normal, there may be no problem with your organs, but if you want to check the renal function, GFR is recommend even the BUN is normal.

6. The higher urea nitrogen levels than normal may indicate that your kidneys are not working properly, or it can be caused due to high protein intake, inadequate fluid intake or poor circulation.

7. The lower urea nitrogen levels may indicate liver disease or damage, or malnutrition.

8. The kidneys have strong compensatory ability, so the BUN level does not increase until at least 50% of kidney function is impaired. That is to say, the kidney filtration units-glomeruli-are damaged.

9. Signs and symptoms associated with high urea levels include fatigue, nausea, insomnia, dry and/or itchy skin, urine-like body odor and/or breath, and taste and smell (senses) could be affected.


10. The key point to reduce BUN is to repair the impaired renal functional cells of glomeruli and recover the kidney function. The most advanced Immunotherapy can help us achieve this purpose.

Overview of the Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR)

Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) refers to a test which can detect how much blood is fitered through the glomeruli within a unit time and how much renal function you have.

The normal range of Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR)

In general, the normal range of GFR is: male-(125±15) ml/min, female-10% lower than that of male. The normal range is not fixed (GFR) with the change of calculating computer, methods or food you take etc.

The clinical meaning of Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR)

The above mentioned shows that Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) can indicate that how much renal function you have, so it can be used to estimate the damages of functional nephrons and to help your doctors to make corresponding treatments.

Changes of Glomerular Filtration Rate levels have clinical meaning as follows:

■ An elevated level of Glomerular Filtration Rate may indicate:

1) The early stage of diabetic glomerular sclerosis. At that time, the growth hormone secretion increases, which enlarges the glomeruli, thus the level of GFR elevates.

2) Some mild Nephrotic Syndrome. The decrease of glomerular capillary colloid osmotic pressure increases Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR).

3) Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) level also increases in the pregnant women, which can spontaneously recover after childbirth.

■ A decreased level of Glomerular Filtration Rate may indicate:

1) The appearance of all kinds of primary or secondary disease which can damage glomerular filtration function.

2) Age also can decrease the level of GFR. After 40 years old, Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) reduces 0.4 - 1.2 ml/min per year.


GFR, as an indicator of your renal function, can reflect the health of kidneys. Once you detect abnormalities of GFR level, you should consult your doctor as early as possible or talk with our online experts.

5 Stages and Symptoms of Renal Failure

For people with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), their kidneys don't often fail all at once. Instead, kidney disease usually progresses slowly for a period of years. With early detection and prompt treatment, it may be possible to slow, prevent, or even reverse the disease. The following is an introduction of 5 stages and symptoms of Renal Failure, which can help you understand your condition better.

 Five stages of Renal Failure

In the table below, the Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) is a measure of how well your kidneys are cleaning your blood.

                                                     Stages of Chronic Kidney Disease
 Stage Description GFR Level
Normal kidney functionHealthy kidneys90 mL/min or more
Stage 1 Kidney damage with normal or high GFR90 mL/min or more
Stage 2 Kidney damage and mild decrease in GFR60 to 89 mL/min
Stage 3 Moderate decrease in GFR30 to 59 mL/min
Stage 4 Severe decrease in GFR15 to 29 mL/min
Stage 5 Kidney failureLess than 15 mL/min or on dialysis

● Symptoms of Renal Failure

In Stage 1 and Stage 2 Renal Failure, there are often few symptoms. Early diagnosis can be made when there is:

▪ High blood pressure (hypertension)

▪ Higher than normal levels of serum creatinine or BUN

▪ Blood or protein in the urine

▪ Evidence of kidney damage in an MRI, CT scan, ultrasound, or contrast X-ray

▪ A family history of PKD

In Stage 3 Renal Failrue, anemia and/or early bone disease may appear and should be treated to help you feel your best and reduce problems down the road.

When the disease has progressed to Stage 4, it's time to begin preparing for dialysis and/or a kidney transplant.

Latest Treatment of Renal Failure: Immunotherapy

In western medicine, dialysis or kidney transplant is the only option for people with Renal Failure. While receiving these treatments, patients bear great pain and heavy economic burden, so they are always try to find a better therapy. In 2012, immunotherapy comes into being, which can treat Renal Failure naturally.
Since more than 95% of kidney disease are caused due to abnormal immune system, so immunetherapy can be applied to treat most of the kidney diseases. The treatment process includes six steps.

1. A comprehensive diagnosis. Though patients are all suffering from Renal Failure, their specific illness condition, such as causes, symptoms, stages, varies from case to case. Therefore, a accurate and comprehensive diagnosis can lay a good basis for treatment.

2. Immune blocking. Kidney damages are caused by excessive inflammatory response. To prevent further damages to the kidneys, the newest immunosuppressive agents are applied regularly to restrain the undue immune reaction.

3. Immune tolerance stage. During the course of excess inflammatory response, much immune complexes will be produced. Through blood circulation, they will deposit in the kidneys. The deposits are not easily to be cleared away, so let our kidneys to co-exist with them are very necessary.

4. Immune adjustment treatment. In this stage, we start to clear the immune complexes. Our characteristic therapy, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is especially effective in eliminate the immune complex as well as improve the immunity.

5. Immune protection. The aim is to protect the remaining functional cells and restore the renal function. In immunotherapy, we can achieve this goal with the most advanced Immunotherapyin our hospital.


6. Immune clearance treatment. In our hospital we have systemic clearance technique including immunoadsorption, plasma exchange and blood purification.

New Breakthrough in Treating Renal Failure: Immunotherapy

The inadequacy of current treatment modalities and insufficiency of donors for kidney transplant have driven a search for improved methods of dealing with Renal Failure (kidney failure). In China, a new treatment can treat Renal Failure apart from dialysis. It is Immunotherapy.

What is Immunotherapy?

Immunotherapy is a type of intervention strategy that introduces new cells into damaged tissues in order to treat disease or injury. It is the newest treatment for many kinds of disease in 2012.

After being transfused into Renal Failure patient's body, Immunotherapy can go to the lesions directly. There they produce more new renal inherent cells to replace the failed ones. Besides, Immunotherapy can offer assistance to stimulate some factors in the body to repair the damaged cells. Therefore, renal function can be well restored if the failed renal intrinsic cells are replaced and the damaged ones are all repaired.

Immunotherapy in Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital

Since the year of 2005, Immunotherapy center in our hospital has started applying Immunotherapy into kidney disease treatment, and we have achieved great curative effects. Immunotherapy and the Immunotherapy Immunotherapy are collected from Immunotherapys of healthy new born babies, which have little risk of complications when used in transplant.


As a new breakthrough in treating Renal Failure and other kidney diseases, Immunotherapy has been successfully applied in clinic, just as many recovered cases in Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital.

Is a Strong Smell (Odor) in the Urine a Symptom of Kidney Failure

Urine smell (odor) is the scent of the fluid released during urination and is usually associated to the volume and concentrations of a variety of chemicals that are excreted by the kidneys. Under normal circumstances, if you consume enough fluids, it doesn't have much of an smell (odor). If the urine odor continues to be bothersome, is it a symptoms of Kidney Failure?

Healthy kidneys can filter wastes from the blood and produce urine which carry waste out of the body. They can also provide critical regulation of the body's electrolytes, through constant filtering of sodium, potassium, and the acid content of the urine. Any offset of this balance can create a buildup of toxins, causing Kidney Failure symptoms. Therefore, the metabolic disorders in Kidney Failure will lead to scant and foul smelling urine (extremely concertrated).

Besides, other signs that indicate a serious kidney condition also include pain in the lower abdomen and backsides (flanks), frequent or urgent urination that is painful or burning, darker or more cloudy urine.

Western medicines can remedy the Kidney Failure symptoms very well, but when patients reduce the dose of medicines or stop taking them, the disease will recur. In China, the herbal remedy-Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is used to eliminate the symptoms but also repair the damaged kidneys gradually.

Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is a natural treatment and causes no side-effect, because medicines come from herbal plants. For patients who are allergic to herbs, it is not suitable.


Herbal medicines are micronized and osmosed into the kidney lesions, so the effective ingredients can be absorbed within a short time. Patients need to be hospitalized for about one month. Patients can feel obvious changes when you receive treatment in 1 or 2 weeks, such as changes in urine. The formula also varies with different illness conditions, and this is a complete medical system. In 2011, more than 6,000 patients with kidney diseases have received Micro-Chinese Medicine treatment, and great effects have been achieved.

How Long can You Live with Stage 4 Kidney Failure

As well all know that there are five stages of Kidney Failure, and in Stage 4 kidney disease, the renal function has been damaged severely. Then how long can you live with Stage 4 Kidney Failure?

The overall answer though is it depends. In Stage 4 Kidney Failure, the renal function remains approximately 15~30. If your blood pressure is well controlled, and if you have no Diabetes (or it is well controlled), and there is minimal protein detectable in your urine, you have quite a while.

To prolong the life expectancy of Stage 4 Kidney Failure, patients also need to receive effective treatment to prevent progression Stage 5 Kidney Failure, the end-stage renal disease (ESRD). In western medicine, there is no treatment which can repair the damaged renal function at present. But in China, Immunotherapy has been put into clinical practices for many years to improve renal function.

Immunotherapy and the Immunotherapy blood cells are collected from the Immunotherapy of healthy newly born baby. They have infinite capacity of self-renewal and ability to differentiate into various cells and tissues. Through intravenous injection, Immunotherapy can enter into human body, and then they will go to the lesions automatically. There they can generate new functional cells to replace the damaged ones. Meantime, they can assist to stimulate the repairing of the damaged cells. Renal Function can be greatly improved.

Before and after the application of Immunotherapy, our characteristic Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is utilized to create a favorable environment.

With the combination of Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy and Immunotherapy, Stage 4 Kidney Failure can be treated effectively so further development of the disease can be prevented. Some patients can even get rid of dialysis with increases urine output.

What Causes Swelling on the Face of Diabetic Kidney Disease Patients

Diabetic Kidney Disease, also known as Diabetic Nephropathy, or nodular diabetic glomerulosclerosis, is a complication seen in longstanding Diabetes. Patients with Diabetic kidney disease often complain about swelling on the face and other parts of the body. Then what causes their facial swelling?

Diabetic kidney disease describes the damages, scarring or hardening of capillaries in the kidney (glomeruli). The glomeruli are responsible for filtering the blood, allowing excessive fluid and wastes pass into the urine while restrain nutrients in the blood. Diabetic kidney disease interferes with this filtering mechanism, allowing a protein (albumin) to spill into the urine. Decreased levels of protein in the blood causes fluid to lead out of the bloodstream, causing swelling (edema) on the face or in the feet, ankles, legs, hands and arms.

How to treat swelling on the face of Diabetic Kidney Disease?

Treatment of swelling should remedy the underlying cause of swelling. Generally, patients will take western medicines like diuretics and maintain a water-restricted diet. However, these measures can only remedy the symptoms other than eliminating the root cause of the disease. The progression of Diabetic kidney disease to Renal Failure is still not prevented.


There exists a Chinese therapy for swelling on the face of Diabetic kidney disease, which is called Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy. It belongs to Chinese herbal medicine which has no side effects to patients. The formula also varies with different cases. Under the treatment of Micro-Chinese Medicine, further damages to the glomeruli are blocked and the impaired renal filtering units can get repaired so extra metabolic wastes will be excreted out of the body. If the kidney function recovers, symptom of swelling will disappear gradually.

What is Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy

As one of the characteristic therapies in Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy has been successfully applied in kidney disease treatment for more than 20 years. Through reading the following text, you may have a more clear understanding about it.

What is Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy?

Conventionally, the processing method of traditional Chinese medicine is smash and decoction. However, we apply a new method, micro-processing, which make the medicines more refined and absorbable. The core of this technology is to make the original medicine molecules into granules that is thousand times smaller than the diameter of the former.

After being super-finely shattered into powder, the active ingredients are packaged in a sack. Before the application, medicine sack should be soaked into special penetrant for about 2 hours and then be heated for around one hour. Patients only need to lie in bed with two sacks attacked to the renal regions. The sacks are connected with an osmoscope which can vibrate gently. With the vibration, effective medicines can reach the lesions directly so as to take effect to treat kidney disease.

How does Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy take effect to treat kidney disease?

Actually, more than 95% of kidney diseases are caused by immunological dysfunction. Too much immune complexes will be produced and then deposit in the kidneys, causing damages to renal intrinsic cells and functional tissues.
Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can remove the immune complexes effectively. On one hand, it can degrade the immune complexes and improve the blood circulation. Then the degraded immune complexes will be expelled out of the body eventually. On the other hand, Micro-Chinese Medicine can provide rich micro nutrients for repairing of the damaged cells and tissues, so renal function will recover gradually.


In 2011, more than 6,000 patients with kidney diseases have been treated successfully in our hospital. Therefore, keep a confident attitude to overcome the disease. You can also regain a new life with the help of Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy.

Benefits of Cordyceps Sinensis (Dong Chong Xia Cao) in Kidney Failure

Cordyceps Sinensis (Dong Chong Xia Cao) is one of the most valued medicinal fungi in all Chinese medicine, known in China for centuries. Most people in the West have come to know it in the last 20 years or so. This rare herbal medicine has many benefits for patients with Kidney Failure. Read on to learn more details.

Cordyceps Sinensis in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)

Cordyceps sinensis has been known and used for many centuries in TCM to treat a wide range of conditions, including respiration, pulmonary disease, renal, liver, cardiovascular disease, hyposexuality, and hyperlipidemia. It is also regularly used in all types of immune disorders, and as an adjunct in cancer therapy. Here we focus on its benefits in Kidney Failure. You can also consult our online doctors if you are interested in its efficacies of other diseases.

Benefits of Cordyceps Sinensis (Dong Chong Xia Cao) in Kidney Failure

● Symptoms of hypertension, proteinuria and anemia can all get significantly alleviated after apply of cordyceps sinensis.
● It has been shown that much of cordyceps kidney enhancing potential comes from its ability to increase 17-hydroxy-corticosteroid and 17-ketosteroid levels. Besides, it truly is a promoter of overall health and homeostasis.

● Daily intake of certain grams per day of cordyceps sinensis can significantly improve both the renal function and the overall immune function of patients with Kidney Failure.

However, it is worth noting that Chinese herbal medicine prescriptions should not be taken without professional guidance.

Chinese Herbs Remedy to Increase Kidney Filtration: Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy

As kidney disease develops, the kidney filtration tends to decrease gradually, which can be detected through reducing Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR). GFR is an important index of renal function. When it is lower than 15, patients have to undergo dialysis. However, Chinese herbs remedy, called Micro-Chinese Medicine, can increase GFR to normal degree by repairing the damaged kidney function naturally.

What causes declined kidney filtration?

The kidney filtration performs normally through four kinds of functional inherent cells including glomerular epithelial cells, glomerular endothelial cells, glomerular mesangial cells and tubular epithelial cells. If you are affected by chronic kidney diseases, most of which occurs due to immune disorders, too much immune complex will deposit on the glomerular basement membrane, causing gradual injury to functional cells, so the glomerular filtering ability will decline.

Chinese herbs remedy - Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy

Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is created on the basis of Chinese traditional herbal medicines. It is also a natural remedy, which combines Traditional Chinese Medicine with modern advanced medical technology. Though micro-processing selected Chinese medicines, they can go up to kidney lesions directly with the help of osmosis equipment, and then take effects to treat kidney disease. The effective medicines come from Chinese herbs, so this therapy has no side effects unless you are allergic to herbal plants.

How to increase kidney filtration with Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy?

From the above, we are informed that the root cause of reducing GRF is gradual loss of renal functional inherent cells due to immune complex deposits. In order to improve the kidney filtration, we need to remove the immune complex and repair the damaged intrinsic cells and recover the kidney function.


The herbal remedy, Micro-Chinese Medicine can clear away the immune complexes by degrading them and improve the blood circulation. The Chinese medicine can activate the self-renewing of damaged intrinsic cells. In addition, the special ingredients can provide rich micronutrients to promote the process of renal function repairing. GFR can be improved and the kidney function will get recovered gradually.

Can Immunotherapy Cure Kidney Disease

Immunotherapy has been widely used in disease treatment worldwide. It is the most advanced technology and plays a more and more important role, particularly in treating refractory diseases. At present, we mainly cultivate two types of Immunotherapy: cord blood Immunotherapy and Immunotherapy blood mesenchymal Immunotherapy. And both of two types of Immunotherapy are collected from the Immunotherapy blood of a new born infant. Here, we would like to focus on talk about cord blood Immunotherapy in the kidney disease treatment.

What is Immunotherapy?

Immunotherapy, just like those found in the placenta and Immunotherapy are the source of platelets and the oxygen-carrying red blood cells in the bloodstream. Immunotherapy also give birth to the immune system which allows human to fight infections and protect the body from foreign matter.

What is cord blood Immunotherapy?

Immunotherapy are collected from the blood in placenta and Immunotherapy of a newly born infant. Studies show that cord blood contains hemopoietic Immunotherapy which can rebuild human hemopoietic and immune system, so they are the major source of hemopoietic Immunotherapy.

Immunotherapy can be used to treat a range of blood disorder and immune system conditions including leukaemia, anaemia and autoimmune diseases.

Can cord blood Immunotherapy cure kidney disease?


When the cord blood Immunotherapy are transfused into the body through intravenous injection, they will automatically go to the kidney lesion area by homing function, then Immunotherapy can differentiate into desired renal functional intrinsic cells, eventually realizing the aim of repairing the damaged kidney function. If the kidneys return to normal function state, kidney disease can be treated effectively. Patients with early stage of kidney disease can even be cured with cord blood Immunotherapy.

Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy Treatment for Kidney Disease

Chinese medicine, also known as Oriental medicine or Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), comprises a system of health care which originated in China more than 5,000 years ago. It can be used to assess and treat acute and chronic disorders, as well as prevent and main health.

Different from Western modern medicine, Chinese medicine holds that the body's vital energy (chi or qi) circulates through channels, called meridians, that have branches connected to the organs and functions of human body. Disease will occur in case of imbalance or interruption of chi. The modalities of Chinese medicine include Acupuncture Therapy, Qigong Therapy, Bodywork Therapy (such as Tui Na, Acupressure, and An Mo), Chinese Nutrition Therapy, Herbal Therapy, etc.

What is Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy?

Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is an innovative therapy of TCM, which combines Chinese herbal medicine with modern medical technology. This kind of therapy brings forth a new idea to micro-processing the herbal medicines. With the help of advanced osmosis facilities, effective medicine can reach kidney lesions through external application.

Advantages of Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy

1. No side effects.

It is applied externally, and we can avoid the damages to digestive tracts induced by long-term orally taking bitter Chinese medicine, such as nausea, vomiting and inappetence.

2. Increased efficacy of Chinese medicine.

The selective herbal medicines are micronized into particles that are thousand times smaller than original sizes, so the penetrability is greatly increased. The effective ingredients can go to the renal lesions directly and take effects to repair the damaged renal intrinsic cells and tissues, so the renal function can be rebuilt gradually.

3. Lasting therapeutic effects.

Micro-Chinese Medicine can activate the DNA replication mechanism of damaged cells, which can rebuild new renal construction. Only if the kidney structures are restored, kidney disease can be treated from the root, and relapse can be avoided.

4. Not a surgery


The application of it is not a surgery or an operation, so patients suffer no pain or no scar on the body.

Traditional Treatment Methods for Kidney Diseases

Traditionally, pure Chinese medicine or western medicine is used to treat a variety of kidney diseases. Either of the method can not guarantee a good result. It cannot control the illness condition or results in frequent recurrence of kidney diseases. Therefore, based on many years' experiments and clinical practices, Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital invented a new method to treat kidney diseases, called Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy.

Firstly, traditional pure western medicine can effectively remedy the symptoms of kidney disease, such as proteinuria, hematuria, high creatinine and so forth.
However, when patients catch a cold, infection, or get fatigue, these symptoms will recur easily. To solve the problem of kidney disease relapse, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy focus on eliminating the root cause. The cause of disease is the damages of renal functional intrinsic cells and tissues due to immune complex, causing gradual loss of renal function. Micro-Chinese Medicine can remove the immune complexes effectively, repair the damaged renal inherent cells and tissue, and rebuild the renal function. If the kidney function recovers, the illness will not recur.

Secondly, traditional Chinese herbal medicines are always made into powders, pills, or decoction, and taste bitter. These medicines also take effects very slowly. Long-term application will lead to digestive ailments. Pure western medicines like hormones, immunosuppressive drugs have some troublesome side effects. Micro-Chinese Medicine is a external application without any side effects, so the above problems can be solved.


As an integrated Western medicine and Chinese medicine, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can help us avoid the incompetent sides of traditional treatment methods of kidney diseases. After micro-processing the selective Chinese herbal medicines into granules, they are permeated into kidney lesion, and then play the function to dilate blood vessels, anti-inflammation, anti-coagulation, and degrading extracellular matrix, thus achieving the goal of treating damaged kidneys.

Prevent the Progression of Stage 4 CKD

Patients with Stage 4 CKD should receive effective treatment so as to prevent the disease progress to end stage renal disease (ESRD). In end stage renal disease, dialysis or kidney transplant is adopted generally. How to prevent the progression of Stage 4 CKD? Is there any effective treatment to prevent end stage renal disease?

In Stage 4 CKD, the kidneys have been seriously damaged, so we need to repair the damaged renal function. In western medicine, there is not yet such a therapy at present. However, in China, Immunotherapy has been applied clinically to improve the renal function so as to treat CKD effectively from the root.

Immunotherapy for Stage 4 CKD

Immunotherapy are taken from the cord blood. They have capacity to self-renewal and ability to differentiate into new Immunotherapy which have almost the same characteristics with the original cells. Through intravenous injection, they are transfused into patients body and then go to the kidneys through blood circulation. Immunotherapy can generate desired renal functional cells and tissues to replace the damaged ones. In this way, we can improve the renal function.

Before and after the utilization of Immunotherapy, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is used to provide an favorable environment and guarantee a better therapeutic effect.


Stage 4 CKD can be prevented from progressing effectively by combination of Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy and Immunotherapy. Some patients may even get rid of dialysis and live a full life with their own kidneys. Besides, during and after the treatment process, patients must pay attention to their daily health care, diet, etc so as to avoid deterioration of the disease.

Are There Any Side Effects of Immunotherapy

As the most advanced medical treatment, Immunotherapy plays a more and more important role in treating a variety of diseases including the refractory kidney diseases. Meanwhile, it also brings potential side effects and complications. However, depending on the type of Immunotherapy performed, the risk of developing certain side effects can be decreased, so we should be cautious to choose Immunotherapy type.

There are three possible sources of Immunotherapy to use for transplant: bone marrow, the bloodstream (peripheral blood), and Immunotherapy blood. All three sources of Immunotherapy can be used to give the patients healthy Immunotherapy that will mature into healthy blood cells. However, bone marrow Immunotherapy can cause some potential side effects as follows.

Infection. Following a Immunotherapy, a patient's immune system ability and the amount of white blood cells in the body may be reduced, making him or her more susceptible to infection which may be caused by bacteria within the body.

Anemia. Anemia may occur due to decrease number of red blood cells and decreased haemoglobin level after Immunotherapy. Patients may feel fatigue.

Eating and appetite. Patients need to follow a proper diet after the transplant. Eating problems may appear like loss of appetite, nausea, or a sore mouth. In addition, patient may experience diarrhea or a sore bottom following a Immunotherapy.

Infertility. In some cases, infertility may occur in women following a Immunotherapy; however, total sterility is only likely to happen following total body irradiation.

Different from bone marrow Immunotherapy and donor Immunotherapy, cord blood Immunotherapy show side effects rarely. Immunotherapy are collected from the cord blood of healthy gravida and the risk of viral infection is less.

Immunotherapy occur in higher concentration with higher capacity to replicate, because they are taken from the Immunotherapy blood when they are very young, and, due to preservation, they do not age, thus preserving their vitality.

Our hospital apply cord blood Immunotherapy to treat kidney diseases, and there is no single patient who have major side effects, except a few of them who get temporary headache or fever. These conditions can be easily controlled in time.

Immunotherapy: Latest Treatment for Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases arises from an overactive immune response of the body against substances and tissues normally present in the body. IgA Nephropathy, Lupus Nephritis, Henoch-Schonlein Purpura Nephritis all belong to autoimmune diseases. As for the treatment for autoimmune diseases, Immunotherapy is the new medical breakthrough.

Firstly, it is helpful to know how the autoimmune diseases appear.

A healthy immune system work efficiently to fight off disease and bacterial and viral infections. But in autoimmune disorders, the immune system wrongly identifies healthy tissues as foreign and tries to destroy them.

For someone with autoimmune diseases, there exists a large number of pathogenic antibodies with abnormal structure within the body. These abnormal antibodies fail to function as normal. Moreover, they will activate patients' own immune system, causing generation of more and more pathogenic antibodies with abnormal structure in the humoral immune response. As a result, the pathogenic antibody may activate the immune system once again.

The above process is a vicious circle, and patients' kidneys suffer from continuous damages, so the disease is out of control. Unfortunately, the illness condition will recur frequently.

Secondly, we need to know how to treat autoimmune diseases with the most advanced Immunotherapy.

Immunotherapy is the latest therapy for autoimmune diseases 2012, which can can treat diseases from the root by rebuilding the immune system. After Immunotherapy are infused into the human body, they can differentiate into new healthy immune cells to suppress the pathogenic antibody as well as promote the generation of healthy antibody with normal structure. With gradual increased immune functions of normal cell, immune system get restored and the disease can be controlled well.


In order to achieve more satisfactory curative effects, Chinese herbal remedy called Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is applied externally before and after the utilization of Immunotherapy so as to create a favorable internal environment and guarantee the best therapeutic effects.

Brief Introduction of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)

There are fundamental differences in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and the Western medical system. TCM is slowly becoming a filed of medicine recognized by western kidney disease patients.

What is Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)?

Traditional Chinese Medicine is based on the beliefs and practices of the Chinese culture, which originated in China more than 5,000 years ago. The model of TCM centers on the concept of 'Qi', loosely translated as 'energy', and its effect on physiological function and health. TCM considers human beings as complex bioelectric systems, and it take effects to promote the body's ability to heal itself. Each point functions specifically in the body to regulate the free flow of vital energy for health and well-being.

Modalities of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)

A variety of modalities are used individually or in combination to treat kidney disease.

● Qigong therapy

Special methods of posture, breathing and mental concentration are incorporated to nourish, strengthen and heal the kidney.

● Bodywork therapy

Manual pressure are applied to the soft tissue and smooth the energy flow of the body through the meridians, and techniques include Acupressure, An mo, Tui na, etc.

● Acupuncture for kidney disease

Acupuncture is used to aid the flow of 'clean' energy into the body to release the energy that is promoting the disease. Tonification needles are inserted into the specific points of the body that promote kidney function.

● Chinese herbal medicine

Through process certain Chinese herbs into pills, powders, decoction, etc, they are taken orally by patients to restore the healthy of the kidneys.


The above is a general introduction of TCM for kidney diseases. All of them can help with promoting the recovery of your health, but they can just act as supplementary methods other than cure methods.

Immune Dysfunction and Renal Failure

Healthy kidneys are responsible to clean the blood by removing extra waster, metabolic wastes and minerals. They can also produce hormones that keep the bones strong and the blood healthy. In Renal Failure, the kidneys fail to function adequately, and harmful wastes build up in the body, causing other problems.
According to nephrologists in Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital, Renal Failure occurs due to immune dysfunction.

More than 95% of kidney diseases are caused by the abnormality of immune system. Thereby nephropathy arises when there is disorder or abnormality of immune system. Without being controlled effectively, you may deteriorate into Renal Failure gradually.

How does immune dysfunction occur?

Each of us is born with the normal immune system, called innate immune system. It in powerful enough to keep us in a healthy state. Besides, to make sure the safety of innate immune system, there also exists a back-up system. Only if the innate immune system fails to function normally, the back-up system can be activated. These two sets of immune systems work together to protect us from being attacked by disease. However, immune dysfunction may occur in either of the following cases:

● The innate immune system releases messages to activate the back-up immune system continuously, which can make the back-up immune system work endlessly, thus leading to excess immune response.

● The back-up immune system loses self-restriction ability, which also can cause the back-up immune system to work endlessly.

How does immune dysfunction cause Renal Failure?

In the kidneys, there exists a specific binding site (also known as epitopes) on renal intrinsic cells and excellular matrixes (kidney tissues) for the immune complexes and abnormalities to combine onto.

The endless immune inflammatory response not only can not clear up the pathological foreign substance out of body, but also damage the normal cells and tissues in body. The excess immune inflammatory response is termed as hypertensive reaction.

With more and more intense hypertensive reaction, more and more renal functional cells and tissues are damaged, leading to Renal Failure eventually.

Chronic Renal Failure: Causes and Treatment

Chronic Renal Failure, also known as Chronic Kidney Failure, or Chronic Kidney Disease, refers to a slow progressive loss of renal function over a period of years. This disorder often goes undetected and undiagnosed until the disease develops into advanced stage. If it ends in end stage renal disease, dialysis or kidney transplant has to be adopted. Therefore, patients with Chronic Renal Failure need to receive treatment based on the underlying causes.

In normal condition, the kidneys can remove excess waste and fluid that our body produces. However, when the blood flow to the kidneys is affected, of the glomeruli or renal tubules fail to function properly due to damage or disease, or if the urine outflow is obstructed, problems will appear.

In most cases, progressive kidney damages can be caused by chronic diseases as follows:

Diabetes. Chronic Renal Failure can be caused by both Type 1 Diabetes and Type 2 Diabetes, if the disease is not controlled well. In this condition, excessive glucose will build up in the blood, causing damages to the glomeruli. Kidney disease tends to occur 15~25 years after diagnosis of Diabetes. The risk of Chronic Renal Failure is higher among those with Diabetes Type 1.

High blood pressure (hypertension). Long-term high blood pressure can damage the glomeruli.

Obstruction of urine flow. Blocked urine flow will increase the pressure on the kidneys and impairs renal function. This condition can be caused by Kidney Stones, a tumor, or enlarged prostate.

Kidney diseases. Chronic Renal Failure may appear as a result of Polycystic Kidney Disease, Glomerulonephritis, pyelonephritis, Lupus Nephritis, etc.

Treatment for Chronic Renal Failure

Early diagnosis and effective treatment can help you avoid deterioration of Chronic Renal Failure. Therefore, we need to block further damages, activate the self-repairing of damaged intrinsic cells and tissues, and restore the overall renal function.

In 2012, we use the most advanced immunotherapy to treat Chronic Renal Failure from the perspective of immune regulation. The above purposes can be achieved, and the immune system gets rebuilt at the same time.

Renal Failure: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment

Renal Failure or kidney failure (formerly called renal insufficiency) is a condition in which the kidneys fail to function adequately. There are two forms: acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease. Renal Failure is often described as a decrease in the Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) and is often detected by an elevated level of serum creatinine.

Symptoms

● Frequent urination

● A general feeling of inadequate health

The Renal Failure symptoms associated with end stage renal disease are as follows:

● Inflammation of the ankles and the tissues surrounding the eyes

● Breathlessness because of fluid retention in the lungs

● Nausea and vomiting

● Loss of appetite

● Weight loss

● Bad breath

● Frequent hiccups

● Overall itching

● Mental confusion, drowsiness, fatigue, seizure, muscle spasms, loss of consciousness, etc.

Causes

Around 95% of cases of Renal Failure are caused due to abnormal immune system or immune dysfunction. There are undue immune reaction within patient's body, during which too much immune complexes are produced and then deposit in the kidneys with blood circulation, thus damaging the functional intrinsic cells and tissues. Over time, kidney failure will appear. Without prompt treatment, it may progress to end stage renal disease, so dialysis or kidney transplant will be adopted to sustain life.


Treatment

Conventionally, Renal Failure is treated by combined methods including diet, medicines, dialysis and kidney transplant.

In Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital, immunotherapy is available for Renal Failure:

● Brand new immunosuppressants

Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy

● Immunotherapy

● Immune clearance: immunosorption, plasmapheresis and blood purification

Features

● No toxin or side effects to human body.

● Preserve the rest of renal function and restore the normal renal function

● Help patients in the early stage avoid dialysis. Prolong the interval of dialysis for end-stage renal failure.


● Significantly extends survival time with a good quality of life.

Anemia and Renal Failure

Patients with kidney disease often appear anemia in the early stage of the illness, but almost all of Renal Failure patients suffer from Anemia. Then what causes anemia in Renal Failure? The following gives detailed explanation.

Firstly, let's have a general knowledge of what anemia is.

Anemia means that there is decreased number of red blood cells circulating in the bloodstream, which is usually detected by low blood hemoglobin concentration.
Hemoglobin refers to a kind of iron-rich protein which can carry oxygen from the lungs to all over the human body. Therefore, a consistent shortage of oxygen of the bloodstream will lead to damages in organs like heart, brain, etc.

Secondly, we need to make the causes of anemia in Renal Failure clear.


● Iron deficiency

Besides short supply of EPO, another most common cause of anemia in patients with Renal Failure is iron deficiency. Low iron levels may cause anemia in Renal Failure, because without enough iron, the body is unable to produce enough hemoglobin for red blood cells, so the oxygen supply is not enough, causing anemic

● Lack of erythropoietin (EPO)

Healthy kidneys can produce a hormone, called EPO, which can stimulate the bone marrow to produce enough amount of red blood cells. In Renal Failure, the secretion of EPO is not enough, so severe reduction of red blood cells will occur, causing anemia in patients.

● Other causes

Anemia in patients with Renal Failure can also be caused due to low levels of vitamin B12, low levels of folate, etc.


Currently, dialysis and kidney transplantation are the only two available treatment options for renal failure in western countries. However, the most advanced immunotherapy in Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital can help patient treat Renal Failure effectively. Some patients with urine output can even get rid of dialysis.

Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment

Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is a genetic condition in which many cysts form in the kidneys, eventually affecting the ability of the kidneys to function. Depending on the type of PKD, symptoms often begin either in early adulthood, between the ages of 30~40 years, or in infancy or early childhood. Both men and women of all races are likely to be affected equally.

Causes

PKD is an inherit disease, which includes two types, called Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) and Autosomal Recessive Polycystic Kidney Disease (ARPKD).

90% of patients belong to ADPKD, or adult PKD, and it occurs when one parent has passed the gene on to a child. The gene is dominant, and there is a 50% chance that a child will get PKD if one parent has this disorder. However, in some cases the disease may occur spontaneously due to a new genetic mutation other than inherited from parents.

10% of patients (mainly infants and children) suffer from the rarer ARPKD, and it happens when the parents carry the gene but are not affected by PKD. There is a 25% chance that a child born to parents that are both carriers will get the disease. If only one parent carries the gene, children will not be affected.

Symptoms

● Back or side pain
● Tenderness around the abdomen
● Hematuria
● Hypertension
● Urinary tract infection

Treatment

The traditional treatments for PKD include medications, surgery (remove the cysts), dialysis and kidney transplant. Immunotherapy available in Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital for PKD may consists some of:

● Brand new medications

● Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy

● Immunotherapy

● Immune clearance: immunosorption, plasmapheresis and blood purification

Features

● No toxin or side effects to human body.

● Help patients avoid the surgery and control the progression of PKD.

● Help patients in the early stage avoid dialysis. Prolong the interval of dialysis for those in advanced stage.


● Significantly extends survival time with a good quality of life.

Acute Renal Failure: Complications & Treatment

Acute Renal Failure, also known as acute kidney injury, is defined as an abrupt or rapid decline in renal filtration function. This disorder is usually characterized by a elevated serum creatinine or azotemia. Acute Renal Failure may cause fluids, electrolytes, and waste products to accumulate in the blood, leading to severe complications.

Complications of Acute Renal Failure

The complications of Acute Renal Failure will affect multiple systems of the body, including the digestive system, heart, lungs, and nervous system.
Infection. Infection is one of the commonestly seen complications of Acute Renal Failure due to the improper working of the body's immune system.

Uremic syndrome. Uremia is a severe complication of prolonged Acute Renal Failure. When the kidney function is seriously damaged, wastes will build up in the blood and can effect the patient's mental status, so decreased level of alertness, confusion, seizures may appear. Due to the fluid retention, the cardiovascular system is attacked, causing patient to occur high blood pressure and possibly heart failure. Fluid in lungs will also lead to pulmonary edema.

Increased potassium level in the blood may happen due to the kidneys' inability to filter and excrete the electrolytes properly.

Treatment of Acute Renal Failure

As a characteristic therapy in our hospital, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy have been used to treat Acute Renal Failure effectively. Different from traditional Chinese medicine and western medicines, it has no side effects to patients.

After micro-processing the Chinese herbal medicines into granules, they can be penetrated into the renal lesions with the help of advanced osmosis equipment.

By features of dilating blood vessels, anti-inflammation, anticoagulation and degradation, we can improve the blood circulation, remove stasis, repair the damaged renal intrinsic cells and recover the renal function. In this way, Acute Renal Failure can be well treated.

Nephrotic Syndrome: Causes, Symptoms, Treatment

Nephrotic Syndrome (NS) refers to a number of signs and symptoms resulting from damages to the tiny blood vessels (glomeruli) of the kidneys. This condition allows protein (normally never passed out into the urine) to leave the body in large amounts. A number of different kidney disorders are associated with Nephrotic Syndrome, including: Minimal Change Disease (MCD), FSGS, Membranous Nephropathy, Memebranoproliferative glomerulonephritis, etc.

Causes

Nephrotic Syndrome is an autoimmune disease. Our immune system is constituted of the innate immune system and the back-up immune system. When the innate immune system fails to fight against the intrusion of pathogenic substances, the back-up system will be activated. After the intrusion is removed, the back-up system will stop working and the innate immune system work alone.

However, if the innate immune system has some disorders, it may continue sending signals to the back-up system, and the back-up system cannot stop working, there will be excessive immune reaction. The immune complex will deposit on the kidneys, so the immune reaction will continue in the kidneys and cause damage to our healthy kidney cells. That's why people have Nephrotic Syndrome.

Symptoms

● Swelling (edema)
● Foamy, or bubbly urine
● Weight gain
● Lack of appetite
● Constant fatigue
● Blood clotting problems

Treatment

Treatment of Nephrotic Syndrome depends on the underlying disorder. Medications like steroids are often used to dampen down the immune system. Specific medications are taken by patients to control high blood pressure and decrease swelling.

In Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital, immunotherapy is used to treat Nephrotic Syndrome from the root. This therapy may consist of:

● Brand new immunosuppressants

Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy

● Immunotherapy

● Immune clearance: immunosorption, plasmapheresis and blood purification

Features

● No toxin or side effects-natural treatments.

● Prevention of recurrence-eliminate various symptoms and treat the disease from the root.


● Life quality improved-immunotherapy can enhance the body’s immune system and help to restore the immune function and improve the life quality.

Daily Health Care for Patients with Renal Failure

Patients with Renal Failure need to receive effective treatment in time, and also pay attention to manage a healthy daily care. What should patients with Renal Failure do in their daily life? As follows:

1. Prevent infection.

Patients with Renal Failure are usually too easy to be attacked by an infection due to low immune ability, so you need to take care of yourself cautiously and avoid inducements of infection, such as cold, fatigue, etc. Infection will aggravate the illness condition. Once you occurs infection, taking medications according to your doctor's advice.

2. Manage a proper diet.

A proper diet can help avoid severity to the kidneys but also supply needed nutritions of the body. Generally, patients with Renal Failure need to limit the intake of sodium, potassium, protein, water, phosphorus, etc.

Daily salt intake should be less than 3 grams, and it can vary with different cases. High potassiums foods including bananas, oranges, potatoes, fungus, dates, lotus, mustard, etc should be restricted. The daily intake of protein need to be controlled within 0.5~0.6 grams per kilogram, and you need to choose high-quality protein foods like milk, lean meat, eggs. In general, the water intake can be 500 ml more than the urine output. High phosphorus foods, such as fish, beef, mutton, peanuts should be avoided. Besides, stimulating foods like chili, pepper, curry and garlic may cause high blood pressure, throat inflammation and allergic reactions, so you'd better give them up.

3. Keep a positive attitude in daily life.

New Breakthrough in Diabetes Treatment: Immunotherapy

Diabetes is a kind of comprehensive chronic disease mainly caused due to disorder of sugar metabolism. If the relative or absolute insufficiency of insulin secretion happens, metabolic disturbance of sugar, fat, protein and electrolyte will present, causing symptoms including frequent urination, unusual thirst, extreme hunger, unusual weight loss, extreme fatigue and irritability, etc.
Immunotherapy is the new breakthrough in Diabetes Treatment.

The following gives the treatment mechanism of Immunotherapy for Diabetes.

Firstly, Immunotherapy can repair islet beta cells.

Immunotherapy can repair islet beta cells directly. Moreover, through generating some factors, Immunotherapy can stimulate the islet to make new beta cells. In this way, the insulin secretion of islet will recover gradually.

Secondly, Immunotherapy can repair other cells and make them produce insulin normally again.

Besides islet beta cells, there are also other cells in body's other cells and tissues with function of insulin secretion. Through repairing and regenerating these cells, insulin secretion within the body can be increased, so high blood sugar levels get decreased.

Finally, Immunotherapy can decrease the insulin resistance.

Immunotherapy can enhance the sensitivity of those cells that are used to transport glucose as well as promote the combination of insulin and insulin receptor. In this way, insulin resistance get reduced.

Immunotherapy transplant has no side effects and it will not cause rejection. In our hospital, we extract Immunotherapy from the Immunotherapy blood of newly born babies, and babies won't be hurt. Through intravenous injection, Immunotherapy are transplanted into patients' body and take effects to treat Diabetes effectively.

How to Manage My Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) in the Daily Life

Patients with Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) need to receive effective treatment as well as develop a healthy daily care. The following are some suggestions, and we hope they are helpful for all patients.

■ Have a good control of blood pressure.

Most of people with PKD have high blood pressure before renal function occurs damage. The occurrence of high blood pressure may accelerate the decline of kidney function. Besides, it may lead to cerebrovascular damage. Therefore, have a good control of the blood pressure is very important. Generally, you had better control it within 130/80mmHg.

■ Arrange a reasonable diet.

A healthy diet can help you control your PKD better. Since the kidneys have been damaged with different degrees, so they can not functional adequately to remove the metabolism wastes. Based on your individual illness condition, you need to limit the intake of protein, sodium, fat, etc. You are recommended to follow doctor's advice.

■ Pay attention to preventing cold and trauma.

People with PKD are suggested to take care of them cautiously on daily basis and prevent catching a cold, which may aggravate and speed up the progression of the disease.

The bilateral kidneys may become enlarged continuously due to increases pressure within cysts caused by continuous enlargement of the cysts. In this case, any slight trauma will increase both the internal abdominal pressure and the impact of external force to the enlarged cysts, thus leading to ruptures and bleeding of cysts. Then you also become more susceptible to infections.


Besides, people with PKD should be confident to fight off the disease, and keep a positive attitude toward the treatment. With the development of modern medical technology, an innovative therapy of traditional Chinese medicine is created by Chinese nephrologists, called Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy, which is testified to be most effective in treating PKD. If you want to know the specific therapeutic mechanism, feel free to consult our online service.

Natural Treatment for Kidney Atrophy: Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy

Kidney atrophy describes a condition in which the kidneys are shrinking in size due to the loss or inadequate circulation of nephrons-the basic structural and functional units of the kidneys. With the decline of renal function, the renal veins and arteries also begin to shrink.

What causes kidney atrophy?

Firstly, kidney atrophy can be caused by infections, such as kidney diseases or conditions like acute pyelonephritis, which can damage the nephrons' functions. With continuously decreased blood flow to the kidneys caused by atherosclerosis, atrophic kidneys tend to occur. In addition, atrophic kidney may appear when there are reflux nephropathy and other disorders of kidneys.

Secondly, kidney atrophy may also appear when there is thinning of the kidneys' functional tissues, or renal parenchyma. This can be led by urinary tract obstruction that results from increased pressure to the tissues. Ischemia presents because of a compression to the intra-renal arteries and veins, which can also lead to atrophic kidney.

How to know there is kidney atrophy?

If kidney atrophy appear, there may be symptoms, such as blood in urine, painful urination and frequent urination. Pain of the kidneys also related with atrophic kidney. Obstructive uropathy can interfere the urine flow and result in the pressure of the back, causing damages to the kidney nephrons. With gradual loss of renal function, shrinkage of the kidney appears.

How to treat kidney atrophy in a natural way?

In order to treat atrophic kidney effectively, we need to block further damages of the nephrons, repair the damage renal functional cells and tissue, and restore the kidney function. Chinese herbal remedy, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy, is just such kind of treatment.


Micro-Chinese Medicine is a natural therapy, and the medicines come from herbal plants, so patients suffer no side effects and toxins, unless you are allergic to herbs. Besides, for patients with severe atrophic kidney, the most advanced Immunotherapy is also adopted to joint with Chinese herbal medicine. In this way, patients with atrophy kidney can have a satisfactory recovery.

Diabetes Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment

Diabetes is a long-term condition in which the quantity of glucose in the blood is raised called hyperglycemia. This happens when there is low or no insulin production or improper use of insulin. There are two main types of Diabetes: Type 1 Diabetes and Type 2 Diabetes.

Causes

Type 1 Diabetes is an autoimmune disease results when the body's system fighting infection-immune system-attacks and destroys the insulin producing beta cells in the pancreas. The pancreas then produces little or no insulin. This type develops most often in children and young adults but can appear at any age.

Type 2 Diabetes is the most common form of Diabetes. Patients immune system goes wrong and regards insulin as a foreign substance. Under this condition, in order to avoid any damages, abnormal immune system prevents insulin from displaying function and as a result of this insulin resistance occurs.

Symptoms

● Increased thirst

● Frequent urination

● Extreme hunger

● Unexplained weight loss

● Fatigue

● Blurred vision

Treatment

Traditional treatments for Diabetes involve blood sugar monitoring, insulin and oral medications.

In Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital, immunotherapy mainly consists of:

● Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy

● Immunotherapy

Features

● No toxin or side effects to human body.

● Repair the damaged islet beta cells.


● Regulate the immune system.

What are Potential Complications of Chronic Renal Failure

Chronic Renal Failure, also known as Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is characterized by a gradual worsening, or loss of normal renal function. As the disease progresses, patients may develop a variety of complications over a period of several years. Through affecting almost every part of the body, complications of CKD may include:

Ⅰ. Fluid retention, which may result in swelling (edema) in the arms and legs, high blood pressure or fluid in the lungs (pulmonary edema).

Ⅱ. Hyperkalemia. This condition refers to a sudden rise in the levels of potassium in the blood, which may damaged the ability of heart and may cause threaten to patient's life.

Ⅲ. Cardiovascular disease. Patient may appear heart failure, arrhythmia, myocardial damage, etc caused by renal hypertension, hyperkalemia, acidosis, retention of fluid and sodium, anemia and toxins and so forth. Due to the stimulation of urea or uric acid, Chronic Renal Failure patients may suffer from aseptic pericarditis and pain on the precordial region.

Ⅳ. Damages to the central nervous system. Patients may experience problems including difficulty concentrating, seizures, dizziness, coma, etc.

Ⅴ. Decreased immune response, and patients may become more vulnerable to infection.

Ⅵ. Irreversible damages to the kidneys (end-stage renal disease). Patients have to undergo dialysis and/or a kidney transplant in order to sustain life.

Besides, Chronic Renal Failure will lead to other complications like weak bones and an increased risk of bone fractures, anemia, decreased sex drive or impotence.

The above is about the potential complications of Chronic Renal Failure. Through resorting to prompt treatments, we can prevent the occurrence of them. Pure western medicine or Chinese medicine can not ensure a good result, so an integrated therapy is in urgent need.


In China, immunotherapy, the new treatment for Renal Failure and other kidney diseases, is available in Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital. Many patients with kidney diseases have been treated effectively by this systemic treatment, and you can consult our online service for more details.
