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.
