Treating PKD by Chinese Herb Medicine

Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is a genetic kidney disease characterized by the growth of numerous cysts in the kidneys.

Based on this reason, many patients are told that no treatment is available for PKD and only symptoms can be relieved. Till the day when the most part of kidneys cannot work, patients will be recommended to start dialysis or kidney transplant.
This is the routine treatment in western countries. In fact, this process could be put off, and even stopped by using a treatment method call Chinese herb medicine.

Chinese herb medicine has good curative effects in treating cysts in the kidneys. Effective Chinese medicines are permeated into kidney lesions with the help of panetrant and osmosis devices. These medicines make cells of cysts stop secreting fluid and thereby cysts will stop growing. At the same time, these medicines could promote blood circulation in order to make cyst-fluid flow into blood vessels. Eventually, cyst-fluid, together with other metabolic wastes is excreted out of the body. Cysts in the kidneys cannot be eliminated, but they can stop growing and even be minished by Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy.

Chinese herbs work on dilating blood vessels, speeding up blood circulation on cysts walls and restraining secretion of cyst fluid. By this way, small cysts will not grow bigger. As you know, the reason why cysts grow is that cyst walls secrete fuild continuously; and herbs also work on improving the permeability of the cysts wall so that cyst fluid flows out of the cysts. Therefore, big cysts shrink as fluid flows out.

When cysts shrink, pressure from cysts will be relieved, and the kidneys will not be further damaged. What’s more, some ingredients in Micro-Chinese medicine provide necessary micronutrients for self-repair of the damaged renal functional cells in the kidneys. As the damaged kidney renal functional cells are repaired, part of kidney function improves. Naturally, some symptoms like hypertension and high level of creatinine can be well treated.


All above is one of Chinese therapies. Apart from Chinese herb medicine, herbal medicine, foot massage, acupuncture and others are often be used.If you would like to know more, please email to kidney-treatment@hotmail.com

Questions and Answers: Tips for Patients with Renal Hypertension

Q 1: What are the dietary principles for the patients with Renal Hypertension?

A: (1) They should avoid drinking alcohol or strong tea; (2) Generally speaking, they should limit the salt intake and keep its intake within 5 grams per day. If they are also complicated with severe edema, heart dysfunction and so on, they should keep their salt intake below 3 grams; (3) They should have vegetable oil instead of animal oil; (4) Keep proper protein and calorie intake. The protein and calorie intake should be adjusted based on the specific disease conditions. If their renal functions are normal and also loss a large amount of protein in urine, they should keep enough high quality protein intakes such as lean meat, milk, and fish and so on. However, if they have renal insufficiency, they should limit the protein intake properly. (5) Eat more fresh vegetable and fruits.

Q2: Can the patients with renal hypertension have sexual life?

A: If the patients with renal hypertension can control their disease and blood pressure stable, they can have sexual life, but they should also limit it properly for sexual life can cause blood pressure to rise.

Common Complications of Acute Renal Failure

Acute Renal Failure refers to the kidneys lose their function in a very short time. It can cause a series of complications, in which some may threaten the patients’ life seriously. Therefore, it is very important for the patients to know the complications so as to take prevention in time.

1. Infection

Infection is the commonest and most severe complication in Acute Renal Failure, especially those caused by trauma. The common infections include urinary tract infection, sepsis, pulmonary infection, which can make the patients’ survival rate decline greatly.

2. Cardiovascular diseases

Heart failure, cardiac arrhythmia, hypertension, pericarditis and even cardiac tamponade are the common complications of Acute Renal Failure. Cardiac arrhythmia mainly presents atrial premature beat, atrial fibrillation. The main causes of cardiac arrhythmia consist of electrolyte disturbance, like hyperkalemia, hyponatremia, and acidosis and so on. Hypertension and heart failure result from water-sodium retention. The patients often have difficulty in breath and other symptoms of acute pulmonary edema.

3. Electrolyte disturbance

(1)Hyperkalemia can lead to heart arrest, which is the most dangerous complication of Acute Renal Failure. Moreover, the patients also have hyponatremia, hyperphosphatemia and hypocalcemia. The main cause of hyperkalemia is oliguria or anuria. Moreover, serious infection, bleeding or hemolysis also can lead to hyperkalemia. In addition, hyponatremia, hypocalcemia and acidosis aggravate hyperkalemia to some extent. Hyperkalemia is the main death cause for the patients with Chronic Renal Failure. Therefore, the patients should pay more attention to it and adopt treatment in time.

(2)Hyponatremia in Acute Renal Failure is related to causes. First, acute tubula r necrosis can cause oliguria and retention of water and sodium, which can lead to diluent hyponatremia. Second, urmic toxin and acidosis can cause vomit and nausea or body fluid loss related to trauma or burn, which can further aggravate hyponatremia.

4. Nerve system

The complications of nerve system mainly present headache, drowsiness, hyperspasmia, coma or epilepsia. In severe case, those complications may threaten the patients’ life.

5. Digestive system

The patients with Acute Renal Failure often have nausea, vomit, abdominal distension, gastrointestinal bleeding and other symptoms of digestive system. About 10~40% of the patients with Acute Renal Failure are complicated with gastrointestinal bleeding, among which 20~30% may die of it.

6. Blood system

For the decline in renal function, less hemopoietin is secreted thus causing anemia.


As Acute Renal Failure can cause so many complications and even threaten the patients’ life, the patients should take prevention in advance so as to avoid their happening. If you want to know more information about Acute Renal Failure or the preventive measure of its complications, please consult us on line or email to kidney-treatment@hotmail.com.

The Effective Treatment for Lupus Nephritis

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus(SLE) is a CTD(Connective tissue disease), which is featured by immunity inflammation. More young women are easy to suffer this disease, and occur mostly in adult between 15-45 years old. The clinical symptoms of SLE is very complicated, more disease are concealed, only related to 1-2 symptoms in the beginning, patients present slight arthritis, rash, latent glomerulonephritis. However, some patients will turn into the serious illness condition, the disease will related to more organs damage, such as kidneys, blood, respiratory system, central nervous system etc. 95% SLE will related to kidneys, and the patients will suffer from Lupus Nephritis.

At present, there is not any useful treatment to cure the SLE, but proper and right treatment can eliminate the symptoms of SLE. Early diagnosis and treatment can avoid or delay the pathological damage. As long as patients can get the long-term treatment, most of disease can be controlled well, patients can build up the happy family and give birth to the healthy babies. According to the Chinese statistics, the survival rate of SLE is more than 84% at present.

The clinical symptoms of SLE: 1) Long-term fever with unclear reasons. 2) Multiple joint pains. 3) Skin damage. 4) More symptoms and organs damage. 5) The treatment of Steriod and cytotoxic medicine are useful. 6) Increase blood sedimentation etc.

The common medicine for this disease: NSAIDs, HCQ, AZA, MTX, CTX, MMF, CsA, LEF etc. Normally, some patients will take the steroid medicines or immunosuppressive medicines. However, these kinds of medicines have a lot of side-effect, such as getting fatter, osteoporosis, declining defense against disease and sexual performance and so on. If patients stop taking these medicines, the disease will relapse, even aggravate the illness condition. How to find a good treatment without any side-effect for the human body?

In Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital, based on so many years medical technology, the clinical kidney experts have summarized the useful treatment: Micro-Chinese Medicine combined with Immunotherapy.

Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy has the curative effect for kidney disease, which can treat the kidney disease from root. (1)Chinese Medicine is abstracted from Chinese herbs, without any side-effect. (2) With the help of penetrant and osmosis devices, effective Chinese Medicine are penetrated into renal lesion by external application. (As you know, any oral taking medicines will affect kidney more or less). (3) The therapeutic mechanism of this therapy is to block the process of renal fibrosis, dilate blood vessels, promote the micro-blood circulation, repair the damaged renal intrinsic cells, and remove the stasis in channels. At the same time, Chinese Medicine has the effect like anti-inflammation, anti-coagulation, preventing blood viscosity and degrading extracellular matrixes. The main functions of Chinese Medicine are: block+ repair.

Immunotherapy as a brand new method in our hospital. Immunotherapys have the ability of self-renewal and multi-replication, they can differentiate into various kinds of renal cells which the kidney need, and then the new born cells can replace the necrotic cells, thus achieving the purpose of rebuilding the renal structure. Immunotherapy as an advanced treatment in medicine, which have the greatly improved the treatment effect of kidney disease. Chinese experts have accumulated a lot of experiences in this field because of enough sources.

How Do You Get Diabetic Nephropathy

Diabetic Nephropathy is a serious complication of Diabetes. It is one of common death causes for the patients with Diabetes. In the United States, nearly 4000 patients with Diabetes die of Diabetic Nephropathy and patients with Diabetic Nephropathy on dialysis covers about 1/4 of the total population. Therefore, the patients with Diabetes should know how they get Diabetic Nephropathy so as to take prevention in time.

Diabetes can lead to systemic microangiopathy. As glomeruli responsible for filtrating blood and excreting excessive fluid and wastes in kidneys are composed of masses of capillaries, kidneys are very likely to be influenced by microangiopathy. If the patients have a poor control of their blood pressure, kidneys will have pathological changes very easily. The glomerular basilar membrane becomes thick and also hyaline deposits in membrane thus causing the capillaries’ permeability to increase. The renal microangiopathy can lead to diffusive or segmental glomerular sclerosis. It is the basic pathogenesis of Diabetic Nephropathy.

Microangiopathy in Diabetes can cause renal ischemia and anoxia resulting in the increased blood viscosity. As a result, the pressure in glomerular capillaries increase and the resistance in arteries and afferent arteriole become higher. Therefore, the ultrafiltration pressure rises. As the glomerular capillaries and small arteries are damaged, the patients will have proteinuria, edema and Renal Failure, high blood pressure and so on.


Diabetic Nephropathy is very common among the patients with more than 10~15 years of Diabetes. However, patients do not know much about this disease so most of them do not receive treatment until they have a large amount of protein in urine. In that case, they have missed the best therapeutic opportunity and it is very difficult to reverse the renal function. Therefore, the patients with Diabetes, especially those with a long disease history, they should go to do renal test, urine test and blood test regularly so as to find if they have renal injury in the first time. If you are or your loved ones are Diabetes sufferers and want to know more about the treatments and prevention of Diabetic Nephropathy, please consult us on line or email to kidney-treatment@hotmail.com.

Do You Get Type 1 or 2 Diabetes

Diabetes is not a single disease, but a group of diseases characterized with high blood sugar. World Health Organization divides Diabetes into two types: Type 1 Diabetes and Type 2 Diabetes.

For the patients with Type 1 Diabetes, their pancreas isletβcells are damaged so they can not secrete enough insulin to help the glucose convert into energy so the blood sugar in body rises. Therefore, the patients with Type 1 Diabetes need to supply insulin that body needs to maintain normal physical activity. However, with the regenerative medicine development, Immunotherapy can repair and differentiate into new islet βcells to play their roles. In this way, the patients can get rid of the dependence on insulin. Type 1Diabetes only covers about 5% of the total population of Diabetes.

Most of the patients belong to Type 2 Diabetes. This type of Diabetes is not caused by damaged isletβcells, but by the insulin resistance. This part of patients with Type 2 Diabetes takes up about 90% of the total population. In the early stage of Type 2 Diabetes, the patients can use non-insulin therapy to treat this type of Diabetes. Immunotherapy is also effective to the treatment of Type 2 Diabetes. It can eliminate insulin resistance so as to improve the insulin utilization rate by body cells.

The main differences between Type 1 and 2 Diabetes are as follows:

1. Patient age: Type 1 Diabetes is common among the children and teenagers below 30 years old. Type2 Diabetes is mainly found among middle-aged and elderly people above 30 years old.

2. Bodily form: The patients with Type 1 Diabetes usually are very thin, but those with Type 2 are fat or have the history of obesity, or normal bodily form or thin.

3. Disease process: Type 1 Diabetes develops very quickly and is very likely to lead to ketoacidosis, complications of kidney disease and eye disease and so on. However, Type 2 Diabetes progresses very slowly.

4. Family history of Diabetes: Most of the patients with Type 1 Diabetes do not have family history of the disease. It is very common for the patients with Type 2 Diabetes to have family history.

5. Blood sugar: For the patients with Type 1 Diabetes, their blood sugar is very likely to fluctuate thus causing hypoglycemia. However, the patients with Type 2 Diabetes do not have too many troubles in controlling their blood sugar.


The above article has introduced the main differences between Type 1 and 2 Diabetes. Once you are diagnosed with Diabetes, you should firstly make clear which type you belong to and then adopt relative treatment. In this way, you will be able to get a better recovery.

Is Creatinine Level 2.8 on Blood Test Severe

Serum Creatinine is probably the most widely used measure of evaluating renal function. Creatinine is a non-protein waste product of creatine phosphate metabolism by skeletal muscle tissue. Creatinine production is continuous and is proportional to muscle mass. Some people may find they have a higher creatinine level on the routine test, so what does that mean? Is it severe?

Creatinine is freely filtered and therefore the serum creatinine level depends on the Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR). Renal dysfunction diminishes the ability to filter creatinine and the serum creatinine will rise. The only important pathological condition that causes a significant increase in the serum creatinine level is damage to a large number of nephrons. The serum creatinine level does not rise until at least half of the kidney's nephrons are destroyed or damaged. A threefold increase is considered to reflect a 75% loss of kidney function.

Reference for serum creatinine:

· Adult males: 0.8 - 1.4 mg/dl

· Adult females: 0.6 - 1.1 mg/dl

· Children: 0.2 - 1.0 mg/dl

Serum creatinine will differ from country to country, because the machine used is different.

From the above mentioned, we can see that we should pay attention to serum creatinine once it becomes higher than the normal range. You should go to hospital to have a through test, find out the cause, and then take accordingly measures to treat stop the progress of the kidney damage. Or the damage will develop from little to more, and the kidney function will decline progressively, finally leading to kidney failure. In the end stage, there will be no methods or it will get difficult to control the disease condition.


What stage are you in, and what symptoms do you have? If you want to know more about serum creatinine, or kidney disease, you can directly send emails to us: kidney-treatment@hotmail.com

What Can Patients with Renal Cyst Eat

As we know, diet can play an important role in daily life, especially to patients with Renal Cyst. For some patients, if the size of cyst is less than 1cm or there is no symptoms caused by the cyst, they can keep healthy by diet. Due to the eating habits are different, you can learn some diet principles in this article, if you want to know some details, it is better to consult your doctor.

Firstly, lower sodium intake. If patients with Renal Cyst has high blood pressure, doctors often recommend low-sodium diet. However, it isn’t necessary for all patients to limit the intake of sodium. If patients' blood pressure is normal, their diet can contain sodium.

Secondly, control the intake of protein. High intake of protein may produce excessive metabolites, such as uremic toxins in the urea, creatinine, guanidine, and polyamines. Keeping a low protein intake can alleviate the burden on kidneys, which is beneficial to the remission of disease. However, to patients who has protein urine, they may need transfuse some protein to keep balance of physical system.

Thirdly, patients with Simple Renal Cysts have no significant edema, heart failure and high blood pressure, should not blindly restrain the water intake. However, if Renal Cyst has done harm on kidneys, they should pay attention to the intake of water.

Finally, patient should take the food like Five Cereals, fresh fruit, vegetables, cattle, sheep, pig meat, eggs, milk and so on, in order to obtain abundant nutrition. Patients with Renal Cyst should avoid spicy food, such as pepper, as well as chocolate, coffee, fish, shrimp, crabs and other stimulating food. In addition, smoking is also forbidden, including passive smoking.


Exercise and rest are important to patients with Renal Cyst besides diet. Patients with Renal Cyst should avoid press on the position where cyst. Taking regular ultrasound test is necessary. If you want to know more, please email: kidney-treatment@hotmail.com

Clinical Symptoms of Kidney Disease in Female Patients

With the life style changing, more and more people are diagnosed with Kidney Disease. For the different physical features of men, the female patients with Kidney Disease have the following clinical symptoms.

1. Edema: In the morning, the female patients with Kidney Disease often have edema around eyelids or face in the morning and it may disappear in the afternoon. Moreover, after heavy work, it will aggravate. In severe case, the patients can have edema in the inner side of ankles, lower limbs and even systemic edema.

2. High blood pressure: High blood pressure caused by Kidney Disease is called renal hypertension. It covers 5~10% of adult high blood pressure. If the female patients with Kidney Disease suffer from high blood pressure, they will have headache, dizziness, tinnitus and other symptoms. However, some patients may keep high blood pressure for a long term and their tolerance to those symptoms has increased, they may not have any abnormal symptoms at all.

3. More or less urine output: In normal case, the urine output volume is 1000~2000 ml per day. When the urine output rises or declines, it may be an early symptom of Kidney Disease. Especially they have increased urination at night, they should do some check to find if they have Kidney Disease.

4. Abnormal urine test: For the female patients with Kidney Disease, the urine routine test shows that there is protein, red blood cells, white blood cells, urine sugar and so on in urine. In your daily life, you can also observe if there are abnormalities in your urine. You can mix your urine with a cup of water. If the water is still clear, it proves that you are healthy. However, if the water becomes feculent or there is oiliness appearing on the surface of water, it proves that there may be something wrong with your kidneys.


The above article has introduced the main clinical symptoms of Kidney Disease in female patients. If you or your loved ones have one or several symptoms above and want to get a definite diagnosis of the disease, please consult us on line or email to kidney-treatment@hotmail.com.

How to Prevent Nephrotic Syndrome from Relapsing Effectively

The patients with Nephrotic Syndrome often complain they have received systemic treatment and the symptoms disappear at that time. However, a short time later, it will relapse, especially after colds. What’s worse, the disease relapses more and more frequently after every treatment. Why this happens and how to deal with the relapse of Nephrotic Syndrome?

In Nephrotic Syndrome, with the declining of renal function, the glomerular filtration membrane is injured and can not prevent the protein from leaking into urine. Consequently, the patients will have a large amount of proteinuria and even exceeds 3.5 grams in 24 hours. Due to protein loss, it will lead to a series of symptoms like serious edema, hypoproteinemia and hyperlipidaemia. In the conventional therapies, the patients mainly use hormone to treat the disease. It can be neglected that hormone treatment actually has played an important role in treating Nephrotic Syndrome. After the treatment, the patients’ clinical symptoms will alleviate and even eliminate very soon. However, hormone therapy only treats the symptoms, but can not treat the cause of Nephrotic Syndrome.
What’s worse, with the disease progression, the patients have to increase the hormone dosage gradually and long-term using of hormone can weaken the patients’ immunity. As a result, the disease will be very likely to relapse.

From the causes of Nephrotic Syndrome, in order to prevent Nephrotic Syndrome, the key is to repair the damaged glomerular filtration membrane so as to improve the renal function. Immunotherapy has showed its many advantages in treating Nephrotic Syndrome.

Immunotherapys are a group of undifferentiated original cells. In right condition, they can differentiate into new cells with the same characteristics as the original cells or specific cells and even organs, tissues with specific function. In the treatment of Nephrotic Syndrome, after the Immunotherapy are infused into body by intravenous injection, they can differentiate the new cells to replace the necrotic cells to play their roles. Moreover, Immunotherapy can secrete some factors to activate the damaged cells to recover their function. As a result, the patients will be able to improve their renal function greatly and recover the normal glomerular filtration function.


Immunotherapy can treat Nephrotic Syndrome from its root cause. Therefore, it can reduce the relapse rate of Nephrotic Syndrome greatly. If you want o get more information about Immunotherapy, you can consult us on line or email kidney-treatment@hotmail.com.

Can Women with Lupus Nephritis Get Pregnant

Lupus Nephritis is an immune disorder caused by systemic lupus erythematosus. Many childbearing-age women with Lupus Nephritis frequently ask us if they can get pregnant and pregnancy can aggravate the disease progression or the disease can threaten the life of both fetus and mother. This article will provide some information to response the question.

After systemic treatments, their disease condition can keep stable over time. Therefore, some women with Lupus Nephritis can get pregnant successfully. However, if they can not keep their disease in control or the lupus keeps in active period, pregnancy can aggravate their disease. Consequently, the patients may have proteinuria, high blood pressure, edema and even renal failure. Moreover, the women are very likely to have abortion, premature birth and so on. Therefore, if the women with Lupus Nephritis plan to get pregnant, they should consider pregnancy 6~12 months later after they control the disease very well and also their kidneys can endure the burden of pregnancy.


However, if the women with Lupus Nephritis have renal insufficiency and have a poor control of their blood pressure, they are not suitable for pregnancy. Moreover, once they get pregnant, they should go to do check regularly and have enough rest so as to guarantee the safety of both mother and fetus. The pregnant women should also know that if their disease relapses during pregnant period, they should not take medicines blindly to avoid harm to their fetus. In severs cases, the women may need stopping pregnancy. Therefore, if the women with Lupus Nephritis plan to get pregnant, they should have a systemic and effective treatment before pregnancy. In this way, it can decline the relapse rate of their disease so as to guarantee the safety of children and mothers.

Prevention Is More Important than Treatment for Diabetic Nephropathy

Diabetic Nephropathy is a common complication of Diabetes and also the main death cause for the patients. With the prolonging of Diabetes course, the incidence of Diabetic Nephropathy also rises. Among Type 1 Diabetes, about 30~40% of the patients have kidney damage and 15~20% for Type 2 Diabetes. Nearly all patients with more than 5 years’ disease history have the possibility of getting Diabetic Nephropathy. As Diabetic Nephropathy usually occurs latently, the patients with Diabetes do not pay attention to the disease or even do not know when it starts. However, when the patients have edema, high blood pressure, persistent proteinuria and decline in renal function, it is very difficult for the patients to get an improvement. A lot of clinical practices prove that Diabetic Nephropathy can be reversed in the early period. Therefore, the prevention of Diabetic Nephropathy is more important than treatment. Then what should the patients with Diabetes do?

1. Eliminate causes of Diabetic Nephropathy

Long-term high blood sugar is the important inducement of Diabetic Nephropathy. Therefore, the patients with Diabetes should keep blood sugar within normal level so as to prevent microangiopathy and protect kidneys.

2. Arrange daily diet properly

The patients with Diabetes should figure out the total calorie they need per day and regulate the proportion of sugar, protein and fat rationally. In order to decrease the metabolin of protein and decline the burden to kidneys, the patients should keep a low-protein diet and increase the proportion of high quality protein in the total protein intake. If the patients with Diabetic Nephropathy have had proteinuria, their protein intake should be less than 0.8 grams per body weight in kilograms. In order to prevent malnutrition, the albumin in blood should be over 40 grams/L. Moreover, the salt intake should keep within 5 grams per day. If they have had edema, they should be stricter in the limitation of salt.

3. Monitor blood sugar and urine protein

Besides monitoring urine sugar, the patients with Diabetic Nephropathy should check blood sugar once in every two weeks and urinary routine exam per month. If possible, they should also urinary albumin excretion in 3~6 months so as to find renal damage as early as possible.

4. Maintaining normal blood pressure

High blood pressure can accelerate the progression of Diabetic Nephropathy. Therefore, the patients with Diabetes should monitor blood pressure often and keep its level within 130/80 mmHg.


The above article has listed some preventive measures for Diabetic Nephropathy.
The patients with Diabetic Nephropathy should follow the above advices and receive treatment as early as possible so as to avoid the disease from developing into Renal Failure.

How to Prevent Diabetic Nephropathy: Diet for Diabetic Nephropathy Patients

Most of the patients with Diabetes know that high blood sugar can lead to Diabetic Foot, Eye Diseases, and Nerve Diseases and so on. However, many of them do not know Diabetes is also an important inducement of kidney disease. Therefore, many patients with Diabetic Nephropathy can not receive treatments until they have obvious clinical symptoms. In fact, in the early period of Diabetic Nephropathy, it is very important for the patients to alleviate their renal injury and prevent their disease from developing into End Stage Renal Failure. In the prevention of Diabetes, diet plays an important role.

1. Low-protein diet: After we eat foods with proteins, the proteins will convert into urea when they are dissolved by liver. However, with the renal function declining, the kidneys can not excrete the urea normally as before. Consequently, the urea will accumulate in body and convert to uremic toxins. Therefore, in order to alleviate the burden to kidneys, the patients with Diabetic Nephropathy should keep a low-protein diet. When the patients with Diabetic Nephropathy should primarily take their disease condition in consideration and limit their protein intake differently in different stage of Diabetic Nephropathy.

2. Supply essential amino-acid: Amino-acid is the essential unit of protein. We must obtain essential amino-acid from foods. However, the patients with Diabetic Nephropathy have to limit their protein intake, which is very likely to lead to malnutrition for the patients themselves. Therefore, in order to guarantee sufficient nutrition supplement, the patients have to keep proper essential amino-acid intake.

3. Salt intake: If the patients with Diabetes do not have any symptom, generally speaking, they need not to keep a strict limitation on their salt intake and can keep salt intake within 6 grams. However, if they are complicated with high blood pressure and edema, they should limit their salt intake within 3~5 grams per day. Limiting sodium intake usually can lead to poor appetite thus influencing the intake of protein and calorie. Therefore, the patients should consider their tolerance and regulate their sodium intake based on their renal function and sodium level in blood.


A healthy diet can help the patients with Diabetic Nephropathy slow down their renal function decline effectively. However, the diet therapy is just an assistant method for the patients. In order to prevent their disease from developing into End Stage Renal Failure, they should receive treatment as early as possible.

Why Do Patients with Kidney Disease Have Headache

Headache is usually the early signal of Kidney Disease. However, sometimes many people often neglect the symptom thus missing the best therapeutic opportunity.
Case: Li Hua is 20 years old and works in a garage. In usual days, he works very hard. However, recently he always had dizziness and his face turned pale as well as had edema in his lower limbs. He went to a hospital for inspection. The test results show: high blood pressure (160/100 mmHg), heart rate (96 times/ minute), Proteinuria: +++, specific gravity (1.012), red blood cells count: (3.2 million), hemoglobin (90 grams/L). He was diagnosed with Chronic Nephritis and asked him to be hospitalized at once.

From the above case, it can be seen that we should not neglect headache, even if it is mild for it may be an early symptom of Kidney Disease.

Chronic and Acute Nephritis, Uremia and all Renal Insufficiency due to various kinds of causes can lead to headache. In Kidney Disease, headache is caused by the following factors:

1. Renal hypertension:

For the patients with Kidney Disease, their kidneys are damaged gradually and their normal nephrone is injured extensively. As a result, their kidneys will secrete more renin thus leading to high blood pressure.

2. Anemia

Once the kidneys are damaged, they can not produce enough hemopoietin so the red blood cells will decline gradually. Moreover, uremic toxins pollute their internal environment. Consequently, the life expectancy of red blood cells and platelet shorten greatly. Therefore, the patients will have anemia and further lead to anemic headache.

3. Hypoproteinemia

With the decline in renal function, a large amount of protein will leak into urine. Hence, their immunity will decline. Moreover, their urine output declines so the uremic toxins will build up in body, which can the systemic blood vessels and tissues metabolic disturbance and acidosis. This is also an important cause of headache for the patients with Kidney Disease.


In the above case, Li Hua's blood pressure rises obviously, has serious anemia and other abnormal symptoms. These show his Kidney Disease has developed middle-late period. However, when he just had headache, he did not pay attention to it so missed the best therapeutic opportunity. Therefore, all of us should learn a lesson from Li Hua's experience and receive treatment as early as possible when they have abnormal symptoms. If you want to know more early symptoms of Kidney Disease and how to find if you have Kidney Disease in the first time, you can consult us on line or email to kidney-treatment@hotmail.com.

Creatinine Level for Starting Dialysis

Dialysis is an important substitutive therapy for the patients with Renal Failure. It replaces the native kidneys to discharge the wastes and excessive water out of body so as to maintain the physiological activities. However, once dialysis starts, it will not be able to be terminated any more. Therefore, the patients with Renal Failure frighten to take dialysis. Then what is the proper creatinine level for starting dialysis becomes the most concerned issue by the patients with Renal Failure.

Firstly, it is necessary for the patients with Renal Failure to know what creatinine is and what the normal level of creatinine is. Creatinine is the metabolic product of muscles and is mainly discharged out of body by kidneys. Therefore, it can keep a stable level in the blood. The normal creatinine level in male adults is 0.6~1.2 mg/dl and 0.5~1.0 mg/dl in female. If a person is born with only with one kidney, the creatinine level ranges 1.8~1.9 mg/dl. For the new infants, as they do not have muscles, their creatinine level is just 0.2 mg/dl. Generally speaking, when the creatinine level exceeds 5 mg/dl in adults and 2 mg/dl in infants, they should consider starting dialysis. However, the creatinine levels may vary with different hospitals and even different labs. Therefore, the patients should know the specific creatinine reference level of his/her test results. The above creatinine levels for starting dialysis are just reference levels. If the patients with Renal Failure have serious complications like nausea, vomit, high blood pressure and so on, they should start dialysis earlier. Moreover, in Diabetic Nephropathy, the creatinine level is not a sensitive index in reflecting the real disease condition. Therefore, the patients with Diabetic Nephropathy should start dialysis earlier than those caused by other Kidney Disease.


Generally speaking, the patients with Renal Failure are recommended to start dialysis at an early time in order to protect their residual renal function. However, dialysis can not repair the damaged kidneys and also can lead to a series of complications like skin itching, hypotension, heart disease and so on. The patients with Renal Failure have a strong resistance to dialysis. In recent years, with the medicines development, the combined application of traditional Chinese medicines and advanced Western medicines make the patients with Renal Failure avoid dialysis. If you or your loved ones are Renal Failure suffers and do not endure the sufferings caused by dialysis, please consult us on line or email to kidney-treatment@hotmail.com.

Kidney Disease Patients Should Watch out for Upper Respiratory Tract Infection

Clinically, upper respiratory tract infection is a typical cause of Kidney Disease. Moreover, it can aggravate the original kidney damage. Therefore, the patients with Kidney Disease should watch out for upper respiratory tract infection in their daily life.

Upper respiratory tract infection can be caused by bacteria directly or virus. Generally speaking, the bacteria and virus have certain influence on kidneys. They can lead to Kidney Disease. On one hand, the virus and bacteria and virus can invade into kidney tissues directly. On the other hand, they can lead to immune complex as antigen.

Upper respiratory tract infection not only can lead to Kidney Disease, but also can aggravate the original disease thus making the disease out of control. In some cases, their proteinuria and edema become more serious and some patients with Kidney Disease may develop Renal Failure and Heart Failure. Therefore, the patients with Kidney Disease should prevent upper respiratory infection effectively, which is beneficial to the prevention and prognosis of Kidney Disease.

Then how to prevent upper respiratory tract infection effectively?

1. The patients with Kidney Disease should take proper exercise, especially cold-resistance exercise so as to improve their immunity and resistance and adaptability to cold. They should increase the outdoor exercise properly if their disease permits.

2. The patients with Kidney Disease should observe weather forecast and change their clothes according to the weather.

3. In the flu season, they should take some medicines ahead of schedule.

4. They should keep their oral cavity clean and gargle with diluted saline water.

5. In flue season, they should keep away from the crowed. In the public, they should wear mask and wash hand at once after they touch something in the public.

6. Keep the indoor air ventilation and keep the window open for 30 minutes every day.


As upper respiratory tract inspection is an important inducement of Kidney Disease and it also can aggravate the original disease, it is very important for all of us to prevent it effectively. If so, we will be able to decline the incidence of Kidney Disease and improve its prognosis greatly.

Diabetic Hypoglycemia of the Patients with Diabetes

Nearly all patients with Type 1 Diabetes and above 20% of the patients with Type 2 Diabetes have at least an experience of Diabetic Hypoglycemia. It can cause much harm to the patients and even threaten the patients'life. Therefore, the patients and their family members should know the manifestations and preventions of Diabetic Hypoglycemia.

Blood glucose refers to the glucose in the blood. In normal case, the empty blood glucose level should be 3.3~6.1 mmol/L and the postprandial 2 hours blood glucose is 3.3~7.8 mmol/L. When blood glucose level is below 2.8 mmol/L, it is called Hypoglycemia.

When the blood glucose level is too low, the patients will have paleness, palpitation, excessive perspiration, tremble and even syncope. However, in some cases, even if the patients'blood glucose level is above 2.8 mmol/L, they still may have Hypoglycemia.

When the patients with Diabetes have Hypoglycemia, they will present the following symptoms.

1. Sympathetic nerve is too excited

The patients with Hypoglycemia often feel particularly hungry, tremble in limbs, fatigue and cold sweat, dizziness, nausea, vomit and so on.

2. Brain function disturbance

When suffering from Hypoglycemia, the patients with Diabetes will get mind fuzzy, loss discernment, have headache, dizziness, speech disturbance, dementia, and coma and so on.

However, in some cases, the patients' blood glucose level declines to 2.8 mmol/L, they do not have symptoms at all. In fact, the Hypoglycemia will also do severe damage to the patients. Asymptomatic Hypoglycemia often occurs among the patients who have a long history of Diabetes, control their blood glucose too strictly, and have Diabetic Neuropathy and so on.


If the patients with Diabetes have the above symptoms, they should ask for help from their family members at once to take emergency measures to avoid further damage. Moreover, in their daily life, the patients with Diabetes should use medicines rationally and monitor their blood glucose closely so as to avoid Hypoglycemia.

Hemodialysis or Peritoneal Dialysis: Which Is Better for Patients with Diabetes

With the changing of life styles, more and more people are diagnosed with Diabetes. As a result, the dialysis rate in the patients with Diabetes also increases. Hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis are two dialysis methods for the patients. Then which one is better for the patients with Diabetes?

Both of hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis have its advantage and disadvantages.

It is very difficult for the patients with Diabetes to maintain long-term peritoneal dialysis. As peritoneal dialysis is very likely to induce infection, especially peritonitis, it can decline the therapeutic effect to the patients. Moreover, there is a large amount of glucose in the peritoneal fluid. It can disorder the blood glucose balance thus make it difficult control blood glucose. As a result, the incidence of obesity and high fat will increase. Peritoneal dialysis usually operated by the patients themselves. However, many patients with Diabetes have visual disturbance, which can influence the operation of peritoneal dialysis.

Hemodialysis also can bring many troubles for the patients with Diabetes. As the patients with Diabetes often are complicated with vascular diseases, it can often block vascular access and shorten the usage age of internal fistula. Moreover, in hemodialysis, the patients need to use heparin to prevent blood coagulation. As a result, the patients with Diabetes on hemodialyis are very likely to have severe cerebral hemorrhage and fundus hemorrhage. As the patients with Diabetes often have neurological abnormalities, the incidence of hypotension among the dialysis patients is very high. Hemodialysis also can lead to hemodynamic abnormalities. If the patients with Diabetes are complicated with server cardiovascular diseases, hemodialysis will aggravate the primary diseases.

In a conclusion, peritoneal dialysis just has a mild influence on haemodynamics and also can clear the moderate molecular toxic substance in the blood. Moreover, in peritoneal dialysis, the patients can get insulin from dialysis fluid directly and do not need subcutaneous injection of insulin, which is more convenient and can decline their sufferings greatly. Moreover, peritoneal dialysis does not need heparin so it can decline the incidence of fundus hemorrhage and cerebral hemorrhage. Therefore, if the patients with Diabetes complicated with severe cerebrovascular diseases, peritoneal dialysis is their better choice. However, if they keep physique very well and have good blood vessels, they also can consider using hemodialysis.


Therefore, the patients with Uremia caused by Diabetes should consider their disease condition comprehensively and then decide which type of dialysis method is better for them.

Can Ketosteril Lower Creatinine Level

Many patients with Kidney Disease must be familiar with Ketosteril. It is a common medicine for the patients with Kidney Disease, especially those whose glomerular filtration rate is below 25 ml/min. The doctors prescribe Ketosteril to lower creatinine level and urea nitrogen. Can it really lower their levels? This article will give you a response.

As kidney function declines, it is very likely to lead to protein metabolic disorder thus causing further damage to the kidneys. In fact, Ketosteril has certain effect in correcting the metabolic disorder. In normal cases, we obtain the necessary amino acids from foods with high protein to meet our body need. However, the patients with Kidney Disease have to keep a low protein diet so as to decline the production of urea nitrogen. As a result, it will cause insufficient supplement of protein for their body thus leading to malnutrition. Ketosteril can alleviate the mentioned problem to some degree. Actually, Ketosteril does not contain amini acid, but it can combine with the nitrogen in the unnecessary amino acid to produce amino acid. In this way, it not only can provide more amino acid for body, but also can decline the production of urea. Therefore, it can delay the progression of Kidney Disease to some extent by regulating protein metabolism.

However, the patients with Kidney Disease should know the root cause of high creatinine and urea nitrogen level. For the patients with Kidney Disease, their kidneys are damaged seriously so they lose the normal function of discharging the metabolic products including creatinine and urea nitrogen and excessive fluid.
Therefore, the key for lowering creatinine level is to repair the damaged kidneys so as to improve the renal function. However, Ketosteril does not have the function of repairing the kidneys at all.

Common Symptoms of Chronic Renal Failure

In Chronic Renal Failure, with the chronic progression of the disease, the nephron is extensively damaged. As a result, the kidneys lose the normal filtration function in excreting metabolic products and excessive water, which then lead to a series of clinical symptoms.

1. Digestive system

Digestive function disorder is usually the early and common symptom of Chronic Renal Failure. The patients have poor appetite, nausea, vomit, abdominal distention or frequent diarrhea. In severe case, they will have oral ulcer, ammoniacal odour in mouth, upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage and intense thirst.

2. Blood system

Anemia is a common symptom in Chronic Renal Failure and usually the hemoglobin level is only 5~6g/dl. For anemia, the number of platelet declines so the patients often have hemorrhagic tendency and white blood cells abnormality.

3. Cardiovascular system

Hypertension has 70~100% of incidence among in Chronic Renal Failure and is the most common death cause for the patients with Chronic Renal Failure. As many patients do not have symptoms in the early period, they often neglect its treatment. Consequently, the form and function of heart will change a lot over time thus leading to atherosclerosis, left ventricular hypertrophy, heart failure, pericarditis and even cerebral hemorrhage.

4. Nerve system and muscle

In the early period of Chronic Renal Failure, the patients usually have headache, dizziness, fatigue, insomnia, inattention and also some patients may have sexual dysfunction. In the late period, the patients usually have peripheral neuropathy, dysphoria, and muscular tremors and so on. With the disease progression, the patients will have systemic numbness, fatigue and so on.

5. Bone disease

In uremic period, some patients’ bone will change abnormally, which can lead to fracture, bone ache and so on.

6. Respiratory system

When the patients with Chronic Renal Failure suffer from acidosis, they often have deep breath and even bronchitis, pleuritis. Therefore, the patients usually have dry cough and ammoniacal odour in smell.

7. Skin disease

As the kidneys can not discharge the metabolic products, the urea cream will deposit on skin and also the surface of skin will have dander, itching and so on.

8. Endocrine disorder

For endocrine disorder, the kidneys can not secrete hormone normally.


As Chronic Renal Failure can lead to so many symptoms, it is very important for the patients to receive treatment as early as possible. If you want to know other aspects of Chronic Renal Failure like treatment, diet and so on, you can email to kidney-treatment@hotmial.com or consult us on line.

Notices for Patients with IgA Nephropathy in Daily Life

IgA Nephropathy is a chronic disease. The patients have to fight against with the disease for a long time. If the patients can pay more attention to their daily life, they will be certainly able to slow down the disease progression. Here are some notices for the patients with IgA Nephropathy in their daily life.

1. The patients with IgA Nephropathy should build up the confidence in defeating the disease. IgA Nephropathy develops very slowly and also recurs frequently. Therefore, many patients lose their hope in the treatment of IgA Nephropathy, which is very bad for the recovery of IgA Nephropathy.

2. Once diagnosed with IgA Nephropathy, the patients should have more rest and receive treatment as early as possible in the early period of the disease no matter it is serious or not. Moreover, the patients should follow check-ups regularly. If the edema disappears, blood pressure recovers normal and the renal function keeps normal, they can begin to work 3 months later. At beginning, they should avoid intense labor activities and respiratory tract and urine tract inspections.

3. The patients with IgA Nephropathy should pay more attention to their daily diet. The generally dietary principles for the patients with IgA Nephropathy are as follows:

If the patients with IgA Nephropathy have edema or hypertension, they should limit their salt intake and keep its intake within 2~4 grams. If they do not have obvious edema, they should not limit water intake. If their plasma protein level is low, but they do not have azotemia, the patients with IgA Nephropathy can have proper intake of high quality protein and keep their protein intake within 60~80 grams per day. If they have azotemia, they should limit the protein intake and keep the total protein intake below 40 grams of high quality protein with abundant necessary amino acid. Moreover, their total calorie intake should keep 0.146 KJ/ Kg per body weight and increase the nutrition and vitamin supplement in their diet.


The above article has listed some notices for the patients with IgA Nephropathy. I hope those are useful for the patients. If you want to know more about other aspects like IgA Nephropathy treatment, prevention and so on, you can email to kidney-treatment@hotmial.com or consult us on line.

Causes and Complications of FSGS (Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis)

Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) not a single kidney disease, but is a kind of kidney damage. In FSGS, the glomeruli responsible for filtrating blood are damaged. In fact, the specific cause of FSGS is not clear yet. Several diseases may cause the same damage in kidneys. The general cause of FSGS is autoimmunity insufficiency. When the external antigens invade into body, the antibody in body will fight against them. However, as the patients’ immunity has deficiency, the antibody will damage to their own bodies by mistake. FSGS sometimes may have familial aggravation, but it is not common.

If left untreated, FSGS will lead to a series of complications.

1. High blood pressure may develop. As kidneys lose their normal functions, it will cause fluid retention in the body thus leading high blood volume. This is a common inducement of high blood pressure. Moreover, for renal ischemia and anoxia, the hormone renin for maintaining blood pressure will be secreted, causing blood pressure to rise.

2. As glomeruli are scarred, they will lose the normal barrier function. As a result, much protein will leak into urine. If there is a lot of protein in urine, the cholesterol level may be very high.

3. In some cases, kidney failure may occur. Usually, it develops very slowly so the patients need not be concerned about a sudden change in their disease condition overnight. Therefore, if the patients can receive treatment as early as possible, it is very possible for the patients to prevent it from developing into renal failure.

4. As the kidney function declines, the fluid may build up in body, leading to edema. The patients usually have edema around eyelid, face and ankle. However, in severe case, the patients may have hydrothorax, which may lead to shortness of breath and even heart failure.


Generally speaking, the prognosis of FSGS is not good. Without effective treatment in time, it will develop into renal failure. Therefore, the patients should receive treatment as early as possible so as to prevent the disease progression. If you want to get more information about this, you can consult us on line or email to kidney-treatment@hotmail.com.

Is There a Treatment that can stop the Aggravation of Polycystic Kidney Disease

Polycystic Kidney Disease is a hereditary kidney disease. Usually, there will be other patients with PKD if there is a patient with PKD. Every years, there will be a lot of patients with renal failure caused by PKD. Hence it is very important for patients with PKD to take an effective treatment as soon as possible, so that the aggravation of patients' PKD can be stopped in the early stage. But is there a treatment that can stop the aggravation of PKD?

Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is a natural treatment for Polycystic Kidney Disease, it is an improvement of traditional Chinese medicine. The effective substances of Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can be permeated into the kidney lesion with the help of osmosis devices. After they enter into the kidney lesions, the effective material can inactive some epithelial cells, thus reducing the source of the fluid in the cysts. So the growing speed of cysts will be lowered down. Besides, the permeability of the cysts wall will be increased, so that the fluid in the cysts can go to the blood circulation through the cysts wall. In this way, the size of the cysts will be reduced to some extent.

If the cysts from the Polycystic Kidney Disease can stay what they like when they are very small, and they won't grow any large, then patients don't need to worry about the rupture. But is there a treatment that can maintain the cysts at their original size?

A patients with Polycystic Kidney Disease from Greece had experienced such a magic treatment. This treatment not only stop the growing of his cysts, but also shrink his cysts to some extent. Do you want to know what kind of treatment he had?


If the cysts can stay in a small size, patients don't need to worry about rupture. If you are interested in our treatment, you can consult us online, or you can email us by kidney-treatment@hotmail.com. It is our pleasure to help you!

Why Do Patients with Renal Failure Have Nausea

Nausea is a common symptom of Renal Failure. Many patients have poor appetite and can not get enough nutrition intakes, declining their immunity seriously. Therefore, it is very important for the patients with Renal Failure to know why they have nausea.

1. In Renal Failure due to glomerular diseases, as the glomeruli are damaged seriously, they can not prevent the protein that body needs from leaking into urine. As a result, it not only can lead to edema in their eyelids, face, ankles and other parts, but also can cause edema in gastrointestinal tract. It can disorder the normal function of digestive tract, trigging nausea, vomit and other problems. If the patients can have proper natriuresis treatment and alleviate edema, the symptoms of gastrointestinal tract will disappear.

2. Hyponatremia is also a common cause of nausea for the patients with Renal Failure. There are several reasons for hyponatremia.

(1) In some cases, the fluid build up in body or the patients have over intravenous transfusion, which can cause dilutional hyponatremia.

(2) In order to alleviate edema, the patients with Renal Failure should limit the salt intake. If they limit salt improperly, it will be very likely to lead to hyponatremia.

(3) Metabolic acidosis may make the sodium in the cells to infiltrate into cells.

(4) In some cases of Renal Failure, the patients’ renal tubule can be damaged seriously making its reabsorption function so more urine will be discharged into urine.

(5) Improper use of diuretics

3. Metabolic acidosis is also an important cause of nausea for patients with Renal Failure. As the kidneys fail to discharge the metabolic products out of body, much acid metabolites will deposit in the body, leading to metabolic acidosis. In this case, the patients may have nausea and vomit.

4. Some medicines also can lead to nausea. If the patients with Renal Failure use cyclophosphamide over time, it can injure their liver function leading to nausea. If the patients stop taking cyclophosphamide for a period, their liver function will recover gradually and the nausea and vomit will disappear.

5. The urea nitrogen level in Renal Failure is usually very high. The urea will be resolved by the urease in the stomach and intestine thus irritating the gastrointestinal mucosa causing inflammation and ulcer. According to some researches, the higher the urine nitrogen level is, the more serious the nausea will be.


The above article has introduced the main causes of nausea in Renal Failure. If you have nausea, you should not feel panic, but should find the specific cause of nausea and deal with it in a proper way. Any help, please email to kidney-treatment@hotmail.com.

Gouty Nephropathy: Kidney Damage due to Hyperuricemia

In gouty, the uric acid in their blood is usually very high. This condition is called hyperuricemia. If left untreated over time, it will lead to kidney damage including two types.

First, hyperuricemia itself can cause inflammation and damage to kidneys, which is called Gouty Nephropathy. In Gouty Nephropathy, the urate mainly deposits in the renal tubule and renal interstitium, leading to atrophy of renal tubular epithelial cells, damaging the function of renal tubule. There will be edema, inflammation reaction in the renal interstitium. Untreated over time, the kidneys will have fibrosis, which is called Interstitial Nephritis clinically. The damage to glomeruli due to uric acid is milder than that to renal tubule and renal interstitium. However, the uric acid still can lead inflammation to glomerular capillaries and glomerular basilar membrane and even cause glomerulosclerosis.
Gouty Nephropathy can cause kidney damage in a chronically progressive way. The patients can maintain normal renal function for a long time. With the progression of the disease, the patients will have edema, declined urination at night, hypertension, and anemia and so on. Finally it will develop into End Stage Renal Failure.

Second, the urate crystallizes separating out and even forms stone depositing in the kidneys and ureter and other parts thus leading to secondary kidney damage. Clinically, the gouty stones in the kidneys, ureter, bladder and urinary tract are called urinary system gouty stone. There are two sources of urate: urate deposits in the bladder or ureter, forming gouty stone. Occasionally, the stone also can be found in the urethra. In addition, the stone in the kidneys can enter urinary tract or bladder. For the patients with stone in ureter or bladder, nearly all of them have Gouty Nephropathy or Kidney Stone in varying degrees. If the diameter of stone exceeds that of ureter, it will lead to obstruction thus causing nephredema or hydroureter. In mild case, it may not cause clinical symptoms. However, if hydroureter is serious, the patients will have back pain or swelling feeling in the kidney area and so on. Left untreated, it will cause the renal function to decline gradually and finally progress into Renal Failure.


Therefore, if you have a history of gouty, you should do blood test, urine test and renal function test and so on regularly so as to find if they have kidney damage in the first time and treat the disease as early as possible.

How to Treat the Patients with hypertensive nephropathy?

Recently, if the patient is suffering from high blood pressure, after several years, maybe the kidney has some problems, so this disease is called hypertensive nephropathy. If this disease can’t be controlled well, it is very easy to develop into the Kidney Failure.

Firstly, we should know the general knowledge about the hypertensive nephropathy.
Hypertension accompanied by Renal Failure accounts for 10% of the complications of Hypertensive Nephropathy. Hypertension is closely related to kidney: on one hand, Hypertension causes the damage of kidney; on the other hand, the deterioration of renal damage can aggravate Hypertension. Hypertension and renal failure can affect each other, leading to a vicious cycle. The abrupt development of Hypertension can result in massive diffuse lesions of renal arteriole and malignant renal arteriosclerosis, which can develop into Uremia quickly.

1. Cerebrovascular Accident

It is also called Apoplexy with the characteristics of rapid deterioration and high fatality rate. It is the most ferocious one among acute cerebrovascular diseases. The higher the blood pressure of Hypertension patients goes, the higher the incidence of Apoplexy will become. Once the Hypertension sufferers present dizziness, headache, nausea, numbness, weakness and other symptoms due to their overexertion, anger and rage, they should put emphasis on the possibility of suffering from Apoplexy. If it happens, the patient should go to hospitals for examinations.

2. Coronary Disease

The change of blood pressure can cause the imbalance between oxygen supply and oxygen demand of myocardium. If the blood pressure of Hypertension patients keeps going up, the left ventricular afterload and the arterial pressure of Hypertensive Heart Disease will increase, which can bring more burden to the heart and result in Compensatory Left Ventricular Hypertrophy. When Hypertension is accompanied by Left Ventricular Hypertrophy, it develops into Hypertensive Heart Disease which will finally lead to Heart Failure.

How to treat this disease?

Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy has the curative effect for kidney disease, which can treat the kidney disease from root. (1)Chinese Medicine is abstracted from Chinese herbs, without any side-effect. (2) With the help of penetrant and osmosis devices, effective Chinese Medicine are penetrated into renal lesion by external application. (As you know, any oral taking medicines will affect kidney more or less). (3) The therapeutic mechanism of this therapy is to block the process of renal fibrosis, dilate blood vessels, promote the micro-blood circulation, repair the damaged renal intrinsic cells, and remove the stasis in channels. At the same time, Chinese Medicine has the effect like anti-inflammation, anti-coagulation, preventing blood viscosity and degrading extracellular matrixes. The main functions of Chinese Medicine are: block+ repair.

Immunotherapy as a brand new method in our hospital. Immunotherapys have the ability of self-renewal and multi-replication, they can differentiate into various kinds of renal cells which the kidney need, and then the new born cells can replace the necrotic cells, thus achieving the purpose of rebuilding the renal structure. Immunotherapy as an advanced treatment in medicine, which have the greatly improved the treatment effect of kidney disease. Chinese experts have accumulated a lot of experiences in this field because of enough sources.

Is There a Cure for FSGS (Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis)

FSGS (Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis) is a kidney disorder, in which the glomeruli are scarred. At present, there is no a cure for FSGS. However, if the patients can receive effective treatment in time, they can live a normal life.

In some cases of FSGS, the patients mainly use hormones including steroids, cyclophosphamide, and cyclosporine and so on to alleviate the relative symptoms. It can not be denied that the application of hormone in the treatment of FSGS definitely produces a marked benefit for the patients. However, it can lead to a series of side effects sleep trouble, nervous excitement and so on. Especially for children, it can influence their bone growth. As a result, they often have slow growth, short stature and other problems. What’s worse, even if the patients with FSGS have received systemic treatment, small infections like colds, urine tract infection may trigger the disease again. Many patients may develop into Renal Failure in their dealing with the annoying relapse of the disease.
Therefore, choosing an effective treatment is very important for the patients with FSGS.

The innovative application of traditional Chinese medicines: Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy brings new hope for the patients with FSGS. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy has the following functions in treating FSGS.

1. FSGS (Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis) is an autoimmune disease. After the external pathogens invade into body, the antibodies will fight against them. For autoimmune insufficiency, some antibody will combine with the antigen and then deposit in glomerular capillaries damaging kidney function. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can degrade the immune complex so as to prevent the inflammation reaction in kidney.

2. Once glomeruli are scarred, it will lead to renal ischemia and anoxia. The effective medicines in Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can dilate blood vessels improving the blood supplement to kidneys. Moreover, the degraded immune complex will be able to be discharged out of kidneys into urine through blood circulation.

3. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can provide some nutrition for repairing the damaged renal intrinsic cells so as to improve the renal function.


Although there is no a cure for FSGS, if the patients can choose an effective treatment, they will be able to avoid Renal Failure and live a healthy life.

Find IgA Nephropathy by Your Urine

It is admitted by most nephrologists that IgA Nephropathy is not a simple disease for it varies from one to another. At the early stage of IgA Nephropathy, there usually no symptoms. So it is late when people are diagnosed with IgA Nephropathy. However, you can find some symptoms early by observing changes of urine.

Hematuria can be found by observing urine. Hematuria can be divided into gross hematuria and microscopic hematuria. Simply speaking, gross hematuria or macroscopic hematuria refers to that the urine is bloody, which is visible to the naked eye. So if you find you have blood urine for 3 to 7 days and you have no history of hurting urinary tract, you had better to see a doctor and take a urine test.

To patients with IgA Nephropathy, their urine will be dark in 3 days after some infections, such as cold. The dark red urine can last for several days to even several weeks, then the color of urine turn to light. It is necessary for people to take a urine test after one week dark urine. Usually, gross hematuria means that their kidneys are under the situation of acute glomerulonephritis, and microscopic hematuria means that their kidneys are under microinflammation state. Due to inflammation, calculus, tumor, injury, congenital malformation are the common causes for hematuria, if you want to make sure the real reason, you can take blood test or test for kidneys.

Bubbles in urine is another signal for IgA Nephropathy. If you have bubbles for more than one month and you have no Diabetes, the bubbles in urine maybe leaked protein. You should pay attention first to make sure you don't have too much protein, then observe the urine again. If the bubbles still in urine, it maybe proteinurine.

we know, glomerulus blood capillary has good permeability on water and electrolyte, but big molecular protein can not be eliminated from the glomerulus blood capillary. So, protein urine can indicate the damage on glomerulus blood capillary. Most patients with IgA Nephropathy has proteinurine and over 60% of them go to see a doctor for bubbles in urine.


IgA Nephropathy also have other symptoms, such as edema, high blood pressure and so on, but the easy way to find it is observing urine. In addition, if everyone can take physical examinations regularly, they can find abnormal symptoms early, then treat it early.

The cause and Treatment of Swelling from Nephrotic Syndrome

There are a lot of symptoms present if one gets Nephrotic Syndrome, of all the symptoms swelling is the most common and noticeable outcome.

Various reasons can result in swelling and long term swelling can also lead to many diseases, bringing great misery to patients. This condition can be caused by a multitude factors.

1. Proteinuria will trigger swelling of Nephrotic Syndrome.

Clinical study shows that proteinuria is the direct reason that causes the swelling for Nephrotic Syndrome patients. The protein concentrations will decrease when the mass proteinuria presents. At this time, plasma colloidal osmotic pressure (COP) will decrease, which will cause the water proportion in the blood higher than that in tissues. Therefore, water in the blood will permeate into the tissues and with the large amount of water in the tissues, swelling occurs.

2. Swelling itself will aggravate the swelling of Nephrotic Syndrome

Swelling will become severer if large amount of proteinuria is not controlled because swelling formed in the stage of mass proteinuria and body cavity effusion itself can make swelling severer. Swelling and body cavity effusion lead to the blood insufficiency for effective blood circulation, which will make the increase of aldosterone. The increase of aldosterone leads to retention of water and sodium, which will aggravate the swelling. Severer swelling will influence the vital signs and threaten our lives.

So it's far from enough to use diuretic only to treat swelling of Nephrotic Syndrome, which can not effectively treat it. What we really need is to block the process of fibrosis, repair the intrinsic cells of the damaged kidney and recover the inherent organization and structure of the kidneys so as to effectively treat the disease.


Experts pointed that it's better to use the combining method of dietarytherapy and physiotherapy but the drug intervention when swelling presents which will cause less side effects comparatively. Moreover, it is necessary for patients with swelling to do proper exercise.

Common Symptoms of Lupus Nephritis

Lupus Nephritis refers to the kidney damage caused by systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). About 35~90% of the people with SLE have kidney injury and mainly have the following symptoms.

1. Systemic symptoms of Lupus Nephritis

Lupus Nephritis can start acutely or chronically. In the early period, it has some nonspecific symptoms like fever, especially low fever, fatigue, body weight loss and so on. Infection, sunshine, medicines, spirit trauma, operation and so on can induce or aggravate the disease.

2. Skin and mucosa injuries

Skin and mucosa injuries are also common symptoms of Lupus Nephritis. Erythema is very common and about 40% of the patients with Lupus Nephritis have typical butterfly-shaped erythema. In the acute period, the patients usually have light red edema and mild expanding of capillaries and scaly furfuration. In serious case, they even have blister, ulcer, skin atrophy and chromatosis. The exposed part of skin usually has maculopapule, suggillation and so on. In all the patients with Lupus Nephritis, about 80% of them have skin injuries and nearly 15~20% of them have Raynaud's phenomenon. Moreover, their mouth mucosa has blebs, ulcer, which covers 12% of the total population. A minority of the patients have zonal herpes.

3. Joints and muscle

In the symptoms of Lupus Nephritis, joint and muscle swelling and pain are very commonly found and usually they the primary symptom for their treatment. Hand joints are most likely to be involved and also the joints of knees, foot, ankle and wrist also have injuries. Their joints pain usually spreads symmetrically. In some cases, the patients have joint deformity, muscle pain and fatigue.

4. Kidney damage

About 50% of the patients with Lupus Nephritis have the clinical symptoms of kidney disease like proteinuria, hematuria, cast urine, decreased specific gravity, high blood pressure, increased creatinine level and so on. Under electron microscope and immunofluorescence, nearly 100% of the patients with Lupus Nephritis have pathological abnormalities.

5. Gastrointestinal tract

Gastrointestinal tract diseases can be found in a part of patients with Lupus Nephritis like upper gastrointestinal bleeding, hematochezia, ascitic fluid and so on. Those gastrointestinal tract symptoms of Lupus Nephritis are caused by the vasculitis in the gastrointestinal tract.

Besides the above common symptoms of Lupus Nephritis, the patients also have liver, heart, blood system injuries and so on.


Many patients with lupus just think they do not have kidney damage at all when their test results are negative. In fact, that is an incorrect opinion because the disease usually develops latently. Therefore, they patients with lupus should keep follow-ups in the following months and even the recent years. Any help, you can email to kidney-treatment@hotmail.com.

How to Treat Child Nephritis

Parents of the patients with Child Nephritis often ask ‘how to treat Child Nephritis’. In order to improve the effect of the treatment, we can not only depend on the treatment, proper nursing and care are also needed. What I want to introduce to you today is the treatment and diet about Child Nephritis.

1. Chinese medicine cordyceps sinensis can effectively promote the growth of the renal tubular epithelium and the recovery of the damaged cells, increase the stableness of cell membrane, and strengthen the tolerance to oxygen privation of the renal tubular epithelium, which has certain therapeutical effect on Nephritis.

2. As a new generation of cellular immunosuppressive agent, Cyclosporin A is a new kind of medicine to treat Nephritis, but it has noticeable side effects, so it is unsuitable for the child.

3. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy created by Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital has obvious curative effect in treating Child Nephritis and other kidney diseases. It commences from the pathogenesis to block renal fibrosis, repair damaged kidney inherent cells and protect the remaining inherent cells, thus curing Child Nephritis fundamentally.

In daily life, the matters that need attentions are as follows:

1. The supply of protein. The protein intake depends on the extent of the damage to the kidney. The protein in the food should not be strictly limited if the disease course is long and the damage to the kidney is not serious, but should not be over 1g every kilo of weight. High quality protein should be more than 50%.

2. Because some patients limit protein intake, energy supply should mainly come from carbohydrates and fat and meet the needs of activity of the patients.

3. Control the intake of sodium salt. For patients with serious edema and hypertension, salt intake should be limited to below 2g/d, and even no salt diet. Generally speaking, low salt diet is more suitable.

Food selection for patients with Child Nephritis

1. Patients with poor appetite can supplement vitamin C preparations. At the same time, food rich in vitamin B and folic acid should also be eaten more, such as animal viscera, green vegetables etc, which is helpful to improve anemia. Patients with hyperkalemia should avoid food rich in potassium, and caution in selecting vegetables and fruits. Patients with Chronic Nephritis should avoid carbonated beverage and stimulating food.

2. Because patients with long time Chronic Nephritis may have anemia, supplementing vitamin C can increase the absorption of iron ions. So the patients should eat tomatoes, green vegetables, fresh dates, water melon, radish, cucumber, oranges, kiwi fruit and straight juice etc.

The above is the diet and treatment for Child Nephritis. Hope the parents of the children patients can master and follow the advice closely. Following the medical advice, proper and scientific nursing and correct and effective treatment will sure make the children healthy soon.

Side Effects of Steroids in Treatment of FSGS (Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis)

Steroids are common hormones used in the treatment of FSGS (Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis). In some cases, the patients can get a marked improvement, making the symptoms like proteinuria and so on go away. However, the patients with FSGS have to continue using steroids for some years. If they use steroids for too long, the patients with FSGS may experience the following side effects.

1. Steroids can restrain the abnormal immune reaction to decrease the immune complex production. At the same time, steroids also can weaken the body immunity against the external antigens so the natural resistance to colds and coughs may be reduced.

2. The patients' appetite may increase so they may gain body weight.

3. Steroids can regulate blood sugar and make it rise. Therefore, if the patients use steroids over time, they are very likely to get Diabetes.

4. Steroids also can influence the patients' appearance. Facial flushing may appear or stretch marks may appear on the skin.

5. Steroids have certain irritation to nerves so the patients may have mood swings or temper tantrums.

The above side effects are only short-term. If the patients with FSGS stop using steroids for a period of time, those symptoms will disappear. However, FSGS is very likely to relapse so they have to use the hormone once again and those side effects will follow up. What are worse, steroids can not cure FSGS or improvement their renal function at all. The patients' kidneys will fail gradually in the frequent relapse of the disease.

As the patients with FSGS have autoimmune deficiency and kidney injury, they should not only improve their own immunity, but also should restore their kidneys. In this way, they will be able to prevent the relapse of FSGS and improve the renal function as well as get rid of their dependence on hormones.


If you are bored of the annoying side effects of hormones and want to try a natural remedy for FSGS, please consult our experts on line or email to kidney-treatment@hotmail.com.

Clinical Symptoms and Classifications of Lupus Nephritis

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease involving multiple organs and systems. Nearly all patients with SLE have renal injury in some degrees. In most cases, Lupus Nephritis occurs after the rash, arthritis and other symptoms. However, about ¼ of the patients with SLE have Lupus Nephritis primarily. Lupus Nephritis has various kinds of pathological courses so its clinical symptoms also have various kinds. Clinically, the symptoms of Lupus Nephritis include six types:

1. Mild

Some patients with Lupus Nephritis only have mild renal injury. About 30~50% of the patients do not have clinical symptoms and they routine urinalysis abnormalities. The urine test result is positive and the urine protein is less than 1 gram per day. Moreover, they often have microscopic hematuria and cast urine, but keep normal renal function.

2. Nephrotic Syndrome

It covers 40~60% of the total population with Lupus Nephritis. It includes two types:

(1) Clinically, some patients with Lupus Nephritis simply have a large amount of proteinuria, hypoproteinemia and edema. In this case, the disease progresses very slowly and the survival rate of kidneys is 50% in 10 years. For this part of patients, the systemic lupus symptoms are also not active.

(2) Besides Nephrotic Syndrome, the patients also have Nephritic Syndrome and hematuria, hypertension and renal injury. Moreover, they often are complicated with lupus activity. Left untreated, most of the patients with Lupus Nephritis will develop End Stage Renal Failure in 2 years. If they can receive proper treatment in time, they can improve the prognosis of the disease.

3. Chronic Nephritis

The population of Chronic Nephritis covers 35~50% of the patients with Lupus Nephritis. The patients often have hypertension, proteinuria, hematuria, cast urine, renal injury and even Renal Failure. The prognosis of this part of patients usually is not good. They often have systemic lupus activity.

4. Tubular injury

The Lupus Nephritis patients with tubular injury often have tubular acidosis along with kidney calcification and stone.


As Lupus Nephritis has various kinds of clinical symptoms, the patients should pay more attention to its symptoms and receive treatment as early as possible.

Renal Failure Patient who Want to Do Kidney Transplantation, Please Pay Attention

Doing nothing but waiting for kidney transplant is really not an advisable option for renal failure patients or patients who are undergoing dialysis, they are told it is the final way for them and then imply themselves that it is hopeless without a proper donor.

Find a donor is the first thing need to be done before kidney transplant, and there are some other things should be paid attention to. The successful kidney transplant could take place of original one and function well, and after the operation, patient can live relatively healthy if the rejection can be controlled well by immunosuppressive agent. However, before the kidney transplant, patients must know more about the kidney transplant, especially the side effects of that, here I ‘d like to tell you something we must pay attention to:

I Risk of Rejection

There is no way to 100% guarantee that a transplanted kidney will take and that your body will accept it.

II Frequent Medical Needs

After receiving a transplant, you will need to make frequent visits to check in with your physician. Anti-rejection drugs may also cause problems that may require you to be hospitalized.

III Weakened Immune System

Your body may lose the ability to fight off certain infections, some of which may be life threatening. This is another reason why frequent trips to your physician are imperative after being the recipient of a kidney transplant.

IV Conditions Caused by Prescription Drugs

Some patients may experience visual cataracts, arthritis, and in some cases even cancer due to drugs that are prescribed in the wake of transplantation.

V Cost

For those without medical insurance, the cost of a kidney transplant may can not be afforded by a normal family. Assuming the surgery is successful and there are no complications,and you have to pay a lot of money for the medicine of rejection. With the weakened immune system, you will easily can a cold, then you have to be hospitalized.

Kidney transplantation is absolutely a must for some patients whose kidney situation is really serious. However, for some others, although they are told about “renal failure” or even they are undergoing dialysis, it does not mean that they have lost all the renal function. Generally speaking, if patient’s GFR is not too low, if patient still have urine and their kidney size are not shrink, the conservative treatment will still available for them. Our treatment has treated many patients like that, most of patients have a good prognosis and some of them even get rid of dialysis. Our hospital is the largest kidney disease hospital in china, we have much experience on treating various kinds of kidney problems.

2. Urine test: It is used to test if there is an increased amount of protein and red blood cells loss in urine.

3. Blood test: It is used to find if the creatinine level that is an important index in reflecting renal function rises.

4. Renal biopsy: Renal biopsy is the gold-standard test to confirm the diagnosis of Lupus Nephritis. Renal biopsy can determine which type of Lupus Nephritis and severity of the disease. Therefore, the patients can make a proper treatment plan based on the result of renal biopsy.
