Benign Cysts on Kidneys Can Develop into Cancer

Generally, cysts on kidneys are benign. Many patients have indifferent attitude towards the cysts and they don’t take effective treatment for a long time. Actually, benign cysts on kidneys also can develop into cancer. In Kidney Disease Hospital, among more than 20 patients of cysts on kidneys, there are four patients have developed into cancer. Experts pay more attention to such a high incidence of cancerous cyst.

Experts say, traditionally, cysts on kidneys belong to benign cysts. Some people classify this disease into cystic cyst disease. This disease may be related with congenital glomerular, tubular structural abnormalities.

Among the four patients with cancer, the youngest on is only 41 years old. He felt painful in his waist before the attack of cysts. He thought maybe it resulted from cold, so he didn’t pay much attention to it. He came to hospital because of severe soreness. The right kidney cyst is less than 5cm in size. Because the symptoms are serious, doctors carried out laparoscopy to take decortication surgery for the right kidney cyst. Pathology of this disease is abnormal after surgery. In order to treat the disease further, doctors took radical resection for the right kidney. Clear cell carcinoma is found. Because of timely treatment, cancer hasn’t spread.

The oldest one is 79 years old among the four patients. Sometimes he can feel that there was mass in abdominal when he took bath. Then he felt painful in bilateral waist. He was diagnosed to have bilateral cysts in local hospital. Then he came to Kidney Disease Hospital. Doctors carried out laparoscopy to take decortication surgery. After surgery, a 20cm-larged cyst was found in the left kidney. Papillary carcinoma can be found in pathology. Then doctors took radical resection for the left kidney.

Currently, the four patients have better recovery after surgery. Experts suggest that patients should take regular examination after 30 years old. If cysts on kidneys occur, they should pay attention to the following aspects:

1. Avoid strenuous physical activity and abdominal trauma. Patients should avoid tight belt if kidney swelling is obvious.
2. Patients should control their blood pressure which plays a decisive role in protecting kidney function.
3. Patients should prevent urinary infection actively. Patients should be more cautious in personal hygiene and take appropriate exercise.
4. If the cysts grow rapidly or obvious symptoms occur, it is better for patients to take surgery early.

Hope what mentioned above is helpful.

Diet for Purpura Nephritis Patients

Reasonable diet for Purpura Nephritis patients plays an import role in the rehabilitation of illness. What should patients eat? How much is appropriate? We can formulate program according to the type of kidney disease and the severity of illness.

1. Can patients with Purpura Nephritis have salt and alkali?
For normal adults, the intake of salt is about 5 to 6g. In some areas, every day, the intake of salt is 12g for each person. If people eat more salt and alkali which contain sodium, it is easy for water to stay in their body inducing edema. So patients with edema should control the intake of salt and alkali. Patients should take 2 to 3g salt, which is called low-salt diet. It is not scientific to have salt-free diet for a long time, which can result in fatigue and dizziness.

2. How much is the intake of water for Purpura Nephritis patients?
Generally, normal urine is 1000 to 2000ml a day. For patients who have Acute Nephritis, oliguria of Acute Renal Failure as well as Purpura Nephritis, Chronic Renal Failure accompanied by oliguria and edema, they should control the intake of water. If the water can’t be discharged, it will stay in the body to aggravate edema and blood pressure. However, there is no limit of water for patients whose urine is normal. In addition, patients of urinary tract infection, such as acute pyelonephritis, urethritis, cystitis, should drink more water and more urinating, which is beneficial to the rehabilitation of illness.

3. Can patients with Purpura Nephritis eat fish, shrimp, eggs and meat? Because some patients of Purpura Nephritis think fish and shrimp are not good to kidney, they don’t them consciously. Actually, there is high quality protein in these foods. If patients have allergic diseases, such as Purpura, Purpura Nephritis or have heterosexual protein allergy or have the history of fish allergy, they should be cautious of eating these foods. But there is no need to taboo. Fish, shrimp, eggs and meat are rich in animal protein, which are the main construction materials of cells and tissues. Foods which contain proteins can be resolved by liver and discharged by kidney. So when renal function drops, patients should decrease the intake of protein based on the principle of meeting the nutritional needs of human metabolism and balancing the burden of kidney.

4. Don’t be crapulent. Don’t eat unclean food.
In addition to take regular treatment, patients with Purpura Nephritis should pay much attention to their daily diet, which also plays an important role. Hope what mentioned above is helpful.

Kinds of Eyes Diseases Caused by Diabetes

Diabetes is a common endocrine disease, sounding like there is no significant relationship with eyes. Actually, it is not. Currently, direct acute complications caused by Diabetes are rarely seen in clinic, such as ketoacidosis and hyperosmolar coma. The greatest harm caused by Diabetes is chronic complications. Diabetic eye disease is one of the most common chronic complications. What kinds of eye diseases do you know? Eye diseases caused by Diabetes are as follows.

Retinopathy
Retinopathy is the most common severe diabetic eye disease, often resulting in vision loss or blindness. According to statistics, 50% patients with the duration of 10 years can have this disease and it is 80% for more than 15 years. The severer the illness condition is, the older patients are and the higher of occurrence. Retinopathy is the result of diabetic microangiopathy. Because retinal capillary wall damages caused by Diabetes combined with blood hypercoagulability, it will result in thrombus, stasis and even rupture of blood vessels.

It is reported that blind chance for Diabetics is 25 higher than that of non-diabetics. Currently, Diabetic retinopathy has become one of four blinding factors, ranking after age-related retinal degeneration. The early treatment for Diabetic Retinopathy is still ideal and the cost of early prevention is far lower than that of late treatment. Therefore, it is very important for the prevention of eye diseases to avoid or delay the occurrence.

Cataract
Cataract caused by Diabetes accounts for more than 60% of the total number of cataract patients. The surgery rate is much higher than that of other cataract patients, so generally it requires surgery. Animal experiments have confirmed that hyperglycemia in vivo and in vitro experiments can lead to cataract, arousing our attention.

Fluctuations in refractive error
Many patients don’t know that they have Diabetes. After a long time, they may find that they are shortsighted suddenly. Actually, it is the reason of Diabetes. Patients take glasses and their eye sight return to normal. At this time, if patients check their blood sugar for several times, peaks and troughs must be found, which means volatility elevated blood sugar.

When blood sugar increases sharply, patients may suddenly become myopic eyes or the original presbyopia symptoms alleviate. When blood sugar reduces, it can also restore to emmetropia or patients wear presbyopic glasses. Therefore, fluctuations in blood glucose can cause vision changes in volatility.

Open-angle glaucoma
Diabetes can cause open-angle glaucoma easily, which is called chronic simple glaucoma. Such kinds of glaucoma can be found in middle-aged people and youth. It is often bilateral and has slow onset. Intraocular pressure increases gradually. There are no obvious symptoms, which can be found when there is obvious damage. Therefore, early diagnosis is very important.

There is no obviously uncomfortable in early period. When it develops into a certain degree, patients may feel mild headache, eye pain and blurred vision. These symptoms can disappear automatically, so it may be mistaken as eye fatigue easily. Central vision can be maintained to be unchanged for a long time, but vision impairment occurs early. In the end, optic nerves atrophy gradually because of long-term oppression of high intraocular pressure.

Eye movement paralysis
Diabetes can lead to arteriosclerosis, resulting small blood vessels ischemia of eyelid nerves. In addition, Diabetics may have eye movement paralysis, causing extraocular muscle movement disorders and diplopia, such as abducens nerve palsy or oculomotor nerve palsy. For example, some elderly people may have dropping eyelid and can’t open their eyes, which is thought as eye disease or gravis. So patients should take acupuncture, physiotherapy and infusion to avoid delaying of best correct treatment time.

Ischemic lesions
It is also called vscular pseudo-papillitis, which can be found in elder people with one or two eyes having this disease. The main clinic manifestation is sudden change in vision and vision. Vision becomes blurred suddenly, reducing to blind. Vision is initially fan-shaped defect below the nose and then it extends to hemianopia or concentric narrowing.

Nephrotic Syndrome Causes, Symptoms and Complications

Nephrotic Syndrome, just as its name implied, is a serious disease. As Nephrotic Syndrome patients get more and more, people begin to pay attention to Nephrotic Syndrome.

What is Nephrotic Syndrome? It is characterized by large quantities of urine protein, hypoproteinemia, edema and hyperlipidaemia, which is called “three highs and one low” in clinic. If Nephrotic Syndrome is not cured in time, it can develop into uremia. Large quantities of proteinuria and hypoproteinemia must be possessed in Nephrotic Syndrome diagnosis.

Understand Nephrotic Syndrome firstly.
1. Proteinurie: Normal glomerulus filtration membrane filters plasma protein selectively, which can prevent most of plasma protein being filtered. Once plasma protein enters into glomerulus membrane, it can be filtered out because of small volume.

2. Hypoproteinemia: The main reason why patients have Hypoproteinemia is that albumin in urine drops. But the lost quantity is not completely paralleled with the lost in plasma, which results from the combining of plasma albumin. Plasma value results from the balance of metabolism.

3. Hyperlipidaemia: When people have Nephrotic Syndrome, abnormal blood, fat metabolism and transformations, one or several types of lipid density can be found, including plasma TC and TG level getting higher or plasma HDL level getting lower. When TC, TG and lipoprotein in patients’ plasma get higher than normal value, we can call it Hyperlipidaemia. Both high TC hematic disease and high TG hematic disease belong to Hyperlipidaemia. There is pure high TC hematic, pure high TG hematic and mixed hyperlipemia.

4. Edema: The emergence of swell is positively related with hypoproteinemia. However, exceptions are not rarely seen.

Why does Nephrotic Syndrome occur?
Purpura kidney, which is Nephrotic Syndrome in manifestations, can usually be found in teenagers. Limbs purpura, stomachache, arthralgia are the main manifestations in kidney.

Nephrotic Syndrome is caused by various malignancies, which take Nephrotic Syndrome as the early clinical manifestations. Nephrotic Syndrome can usually occur when people suffer breast cancer, lung cancer, stomach cancer, colon cancer and lymphoid hyperplasia.

Diabetic Nephropathy can usually be found among patients who suffer Diabetes for more than 10 years. Particularly, it can be found in patients who suffer type one diabetes but don’t get satisfactory control.

What are the complications of Nephrotic Syndrome?
Infections: Large quantities of immune globulin drop from urine, which can lead to the decrease of plasma protein and influence the formation of antibody.
Electrolyte and Metabolic Disturbance: Secondary Hyponatremia occurs when patients take diuretic repeatedly or resist salt in a long time. Large quantities of urine drop out by taking cortin and diuretic. Hypokalemia appears if there is no enough potassium.

Formation of Thrombus: Thrombus can occur easily, especially with membranous nephropathy rate at 25% to 40%.

Coronary Disease: Hyperlipidemia and blood high condensation state can usually be found. Therefore, Coronary disease occurs easily.

Immunotherapy for Child Nephritis

Nephritis refers to inflammation of one or both kidneys. It can be caused by infection, but is most commonly caused by autoimmune disorders that affect the major organs.This disease most often strikes in childhood. It can become progressively worse and result in death, if not treated properly in the initial stages. In the alternative, it may turn into a chronic stage.

It often occurs after streptococcal infection flowed by hematuria, edema and hypertension. Although the conservative hormone has certain effect in relieving the symptoms of Child Nephritis, it is very susceptible to relapse. Therefore, frequent relapse of Child Nephritis becomes the most concerned problem by the parents and doctors. Then how to treat Child Nephritis fundamentally and avoid its relapse? Here immunotherapy is recommended to the parents for the treatment of Child Nephritis.

Autoimmune deficiency plays the main role in the incidence of Child Nephritis. When the etiological agents invade into body, the antibodies fail to function well to defeat them. As a result, the antigens bind with the antibodies to form immune complexes and deposit in glomeruli. The body will do their best to remove the immune complexes thus leading to a series of immune inflammatory response. If the immune inflammatory response occurs excessively, it will do much damage to glomeruli and lead to glomerular inflammation. If the inflammatory response is not inhibited, the damage to renal cells and tissues will go on persistently. The conventional hormonetherapy can inhibit the abnormal inflammatory response temporarily. However, once the children encounter inducements, they will trigger the Child Nephritis again. That is because the underlying causes of Child Nephritis-immune complexes have not been cleared up yet. It is very susceptible to cause new damage to renal tissues and cells. The application of immunotherapy makes the effective treatment of Child Nephritis come true.

Removing immune complexes in glomeruli and protecting further damage to kidney are two important processes of immunotherapy.

1. Traditional Chinese herbal medicines have anticoagulation, anti-inflammation and dilation of blood vessels function. They can widen renal arteries and improve the blood circulation. This creates a favorable excretion channel for the immune complexes.

2. Traditional Chinese medicines can degrade the immune complexes. Afterwards, the degraded immune complexes will be passed out into urine. As a result, the underlying cause of Child Nephritis is removed.

3. By the integrant application of stem cell transplant, the medicines protecting renal tissues and cells as well as Chinese herbal medicines, they can repair the damaged cells and replace the necrotic ones so as to improve the renal function fundamentally.

Immunotherapy as a new therapy has showed its enormous effect on the treatment of Child Nephritis and brings infinite hope for the children.

If the above treatment is faithfully carried out, the patient of acute nephritis will soon be on the way to recovery. Even in advanced cases of chronic nephritis, the sufferers of child nephritis condition will improve with this treatment.If you want learn more about "Immunotherapy for Child Nephritis", you can email to renalhealth@hotmail.com.

Is there a Polycystic Kidney Disease Cure

Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is a genetic disease and there is no cure or treatment to stop the cysts from growing. However, there are treatments available to decrease symptoms and possibly slow the rate of kidney damage. Most newly identified patients are eager to learn about a Polycystic Kidney Disease cure. Which one is correct and is there a cure for Polycystic Kidney Disease?

It is so tempting for patients who are newly identified with Polycystic Kidney disease to pick up any book that has "Polycystic Kidney Disease cure" in the title. We can not blame them. Everyone will choose to skip from diagnosis to cure and be spared years of pain and disability, as well kidney transplant. Unfortunately, it is not simple.

Considering there is no completely cure for Polycystic Kidney Disease at present, many people are desperate and waiting for kidney transplant. This mind is not right. Although we can not completely get the disease completely cured, we can find a way to control the progression of this disease. Patients can shrink the cysts and reduce the pressure caused by the kidney cysts. Finally, patients can achieve the goal of not progressing into kidney failure.

Can surgery solve the problem?
You may have been told by your doctors that surgeries can not deal with Polycystic Kidney Disease because so many cysts are involved. Indeed, surgeries can neither clear the cysts nor repair the kidney function. What is worse, each surgery will attack the kidneys and aggravate the kidney function.

Can kidney transplant solve the problem?
Perhaps you have been put on a waiting list for a kidney source in many hospitals but still can not find one. Yes, that is the current situation. Patients can not find the kidney source. During this time, you kidney function is still worsening sharply. Without treatment to control the cysts, many patients can not survive till the proper kidney source appears. You might be the lucky one and find a match. Then, anti-rejection medicines will arrive by truck load. It will not survive long before the next kidney failure comes.

What I recommend is Chinese Medicine
Traditional Chinese medicine is very effective in the shrink of the cysts and the repair of kidney functions. The effective ingredients of herbs can dilate blood vessels, inactivate the epithelial cells and improve the permeability of the cysts wall. In this way, cysts will shrink naturally. Although it can not clear the cysts, it is the best treatment option up to now.

Conclusion
There is no completely cure for Polycystic Kidney Disease, but traditional Chinese medicine can avoid the disease progressing into kidney failure. It is the best choice for you. If you still not clear how traditional Chinese medicine works on PKD, please email to renalhealth@hotmail.com, they can provide you the most detailed information.

Why Does Purpura Nephritis Relapse Frequently

Some patients with Purpura Nephritis often complain that the disease often relapses frequently and I really have no idea to deal with it. Many patients with Purpura Nephritis must face this problem. In order to know why Purpura Nephritis frequently, it is necessary to explain its causes.

Purpura Nephritis is the secondary kidney injury caused by allergic purpura. It is an autoimmune disease. When the external substances such as foods ( eggs, milk, crab, shrimp and so on), medicines (penicillin, aureomycin, streptomycin and so on) and insect bite, pollen and so on as antigens invade into body and causing inflammatory reaction. The inflammatory reaction can cause skin purpura, abdominal pain, joint pain and kidney injury. As these damages are caused by allergens, they are very likely to reoccur when they touch the allergen again. Moreover, every recurrence of purpura can aggravate kidney injury further. Therefore, the patients should look for the allergen and avoid touching those allergens again. If they can prevent kidney damage and do their best to avoid the inducements of kidney damage, it will be likely for them to avid the recurrence of Purpura Nephritis. Besides active preventive measures, the patients with Purpura Nephritis should receive timely treatments so as to prevent it from developing into Renal Failure.

In the western medicines, the patients with Purpura Nephritis mainly depend on immunosuppressant and adrenocortical hormone to treat the disease. It can not be denied that those medicines have some effective function in alleviating symptoms. However, the disease often relapses easily and frequently. In order to get a better therapeutic effect, the patients with Purpura Nephritis should treat the disease from its root cause.

Therefore, they should remove the immune complex firstly and then repair the damaged renal structures so as to improve their kidney functions. In addition, as the patients with Purpura Nephritis have immune deficiency, they should improve their autoimmune. If so, they will be able to decline its recurrence and kidney damage greatly.
