Nephrotic Syndrome: Is Gluten, Dairy and Egg Free Diet Really Good to Prevent Relapses

When getting nephrotic syndrome, patients are also troubled with the tones of protein in urine and would confused what to do about the diet. In the website, some people suggested that gluten, dairy and egg free diet can help patients to get rid of protein in urine. Is it real method?

Nephrotic syndrome

Nephrotic syndrome is a performance of serious kidney disease. In these cases, patients’ kidney tissues especially glomeruli have been damaged. Glomeruli are a ball of tiny blood vessels that can filter blood and discharge toxic substances. However, the membranes in many glomeruli are damaged, so some blood components can be leaked from the broken in membranes. Due to this protein leakage, many other symptoms are aroused, such as hypoproteinemia, hyperlipidaemia and severe swelling. Over time, it may develop into renal failure to threaten patients’ lives.

Can gluten, dairy and egg free diet remove protein in urine?

Gluten, dairy and eggs are very common foods in the daily diet and they will supply much protein for our body in order to rebuild tissues or organs or produce antibody to improve immunity.

However, these foods also need to be metabolized, resulting in producing many wastes. These toxic substances are discharged from kidneys, so more protein foods would increase the burden of kidney and kidney tissues are easily damaged due to overwork.

Although this diet plan is helpful to remove protein in urine, it cannot repair the damaged kidney tissues. Thereby protein will be leaked out in urine again once they retrieve their normal diet. Some patients may be willing to keep this diet, but low protein diet may lead to weak immunity of patients. So patients would get worse kidney disease or other diseases.

Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is introduced to you. It is a natural herbs therapy and an external application, hence, no side effect presents in patients. Furthermore, it can provide nutrition and essential elements for kidney recovery. Once kidney is restored, patients can get a normal diet as the normal people. I hope this therapy can help you.

How Fatal Is Nephrotic Syndrome

Many people are diagnosed with a nephrotic syndrome unintentionally in a physical examination. They cannot believe that they have kidney disease for they have a normal life like other healthy people and they have no obvious symptoms. But nephrotic syndrome is fatal for people and they may have renal failure.

Nephrotic syndrome is a condition marked by very high levels of protein in the urine, low levels of protein in the blood, possible severe swelling and high cholesterol in the blood. Although they may have all of these differences in their body, the only symptom they can find is the swelling. In the early stage, they only have swelling in around the eyes and then feet and hands. So people easily ignore it and kidney would be hurt further.

Late detection is always the major cause of worsening of nephrotic syndrome. When they realize the severe swelling in legs or arms, most of them are in the serious stage. Nephrotic syndrome results from damage to the kidneys’ glomeruli that are little balls of tiny blood vessels and are used to filter waste, salts as well as excess water from the blood. When glomeruli are hurt, protein in the blood is easily leaked out.

Nephrotic syndrome is usually caused by many diseases, including diabetes, hypertension, lupus, purpura, hepatitis, amyloidosis as well as kidney disease. So treatment of nephrotic syndrome focuses on identifying the underlying cause. Most of the cases are the results of kidney diseases with no exact illness causes. So most of patients cannot be cured by adopting traditional treatments.

In this situation, Immunotherapy can help you to solve the underlying problems. More than 95% of nephrotic syndrome cases are aroused by a disordered immune system. People need to regulate immune system and improve immunity in order to put off the renal inflammation. In order to balance immune system, accurate examinations should be adopted to check out why their immune system is wrong. In immunotherapy, Micro-Chinese medicine Osmotherapy is the main therapy for them to achieve a normal immune system. Besides, it also can give essential elements to promote the growth of kidney tissues.

So through immunotherapy you can find the causes of your nephrotic syndrome. It also focuses on the lesion on kidneys and treats underlying disease from the root.

Overview of Polycystic Kidney Disease

Polycystic kidney disease is a genetic kidney disease in which the kidneys, including cortex and medulla, are filled with cysts. Nearly half of patients with this disease will experience high blood pressure. This disease can be divided into two types according to the mode of inheritance. One is autosomal dominant inheritance and the other is autosomal recessive inheritance. Autosomal dominant inheritance is also called adult polycystic kidney disease since its symptoms do not occur until being adult. Autosomal recessive inheritance is also named baby polycystic kidney disease because its symptoms have obvious performance in the childhood. However, baby polycystic kidney disease is rare to see in clinic for the patient with this disease often lose life several days or even several hoursafter after birth, the patient whose disease is mild can live to baby period, childhood period, but living to adulthood is hardly to be found. Due to the little percent of baby polycystic kidney disease take, we mainly talk about autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD).

Epidemiology and inheritance of polycystic kidney disease

ADPKD is easy to be found in clinic and there are one out of 500 to 1000 people may get this disease and it takes account for 5%-10% in the end stage of kidney disease. ADPKD follows the regular autosomal dominant inherence, that is, male and female have the same chance to get this disease; the child gets half chance to get this disease if either mother or father got this disease and 75% chance if both parent got this disease; the child who do not get this disease marry another person who is also without this disease, then their child will not suffer this disease.

Pathology of polycystic kidney disease

Both the kidneys will be enlarged, and the average of each kidney weighs 500 to 1000g. The biggest kidneys can weigh as much as 4000g. Various sizes of cysts in cortex and medulla are presented on the section of kidney. There may be various shapes of cysts, including spherical cysts, cylindrical cysts and diamond cysts. The size of cysts ranks from 0.1cm to several centimeters. The cyst wall is epithelial cells and what is inside the cyst is fluid whose looks vary from clear to red color. Normal renal tissues can be seen in the space between cysts. Renal cysts come from conducting tube, renal capsule or part segment of renal tube and also connect with them.

Clinical manifestations of polycystic kidney disease

The size of kidneys is normal or slightly bigger than the normal when the patient in childhood and small cysts can be found occasionally. With the age increasing, the number and size of renal cysts also gradually becomes larger and larger however, this process is so slowly that most patients do not have symptoms until they are 30 years old when the kidneys and cysts grows big. There are also some patients who discovered the cysts in childhood when the cysts are obvious. It is also occur to other patients to find the renal cysts occasionally when they are old. The main manifestations of this disease are pain in the waist or abdomen; hematuria and proteinuria; enlarged kidneys; high blood pressure; nocturia.

Renal Anemia in Kidney Failure Patients Caused by PKD

When polycystic kidney disease develops, it will finally lead to kidney failure, and many symptoms will appear at the same time. Renal anemia is one of the most common symptoms among all.

When the kidney function begins to decline, the Erythropoietin (EPO) secreted by the kidneys in the patients decreases, and will not meet the needs of the body, and this is one of the causes of anemia. Besides, in kidney failure patients of PKD, there are lots of toxins deposited in the body, which reduces the life span of the red blood cells. The other reasons are as follows:

Kidney failure patients may not be able to take enough nutritions, vitamins, proteins, Iron etc.

Haemorrhagia

Dialysis may take away some blood, or frequent blood tests

Renal anemia may go with the renal impairment degree. For treatment of renal anemia, of course the first is to treat the kidney problem. Let the kidneys secrete more Epo so it can meet the needs of the body. For kidney failure caused by pkd, the kidney function can be improved by shrinking the cysts, reduce the pressure caused by the enlarging cysts, and repair the damaged kidney cells. The recommended treatment for it is Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy.

Medication treatment:

R-HuEPO injection: after the injection, patient's hemoglobin can be obviously increased, and anemia get improved.

Iron supplements

Supplements of nutrition

Blood transfusion, it can correct anemia in a short time, but for some patients, blood transfusion may increase the risk for infection, or other responses, so the doctors need to check the patient's condition, and choose the right methods to correct anemia.

Different conditions may need different treatments, so before any action, do ask for your doctors suggestions.

Polycystic Kidney Disease & Transplant

Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is a genetic kidney disorder in which numerous kidney cysts growing from the kidneys and damaging the kidney tissues. Polycystic Kidney Disease develops faster in one’s 30s and 40s. If untreated immediately, it may lead to End Stage of Renal Disease.
End Stage of Renal Disease is the final ends of all kidney disease. In this condition, your kidneys fail to function enough, leading to toxins build-up in your body. When PKD develops into End Stage of Kidney Disease, many people have to search for the donated kidneys for a transplant.

Kidney transplant is expected to replace one of the cysts-filled kidneys, leading a longer life. Compared with dialysis, transplant is considered as a better choice for dialysis hardly is cast off.
However, as the number of donated kidneys is limited, many PKD patients who registered on the waiting list pass away before they get the donated organ.

In fact, besides transplant, Traditional Chinese Medicine and Immunotherapy are recommended to prevent PKD from end stage of kidney failure.

Traditional Chinese Medicine is an herbal remedy which is composed of natural herbs which can accelerate blood circulation, eliminate inflammation and shrink renal cysts naturally. Besides, it is designed to add the tonic herbs to repair the damaged renal tissues and refresh the poor kidney functions.

Except control renal cysts and kidney function improvement, the herbal remedy is expected to make an all-sided improvement in PKD patients. The other effects of Traditional Chinese Medicine include:

High blood pressure dropping

Symptoms remission

Urine change of color and volume

Less protein leakage into the urine

Edema relieved

In Kidney Disease Hospital, not every patient with PKD needs the treatment of Immunotherapy.

Immunotherapy treatment is used in patients whose kidney functions are less than 30%, especially the patient who develops in kidney failure stage. Immunotherapy are primary cells. Under right condition, Immunotherapy will differentiate into desired type of cells. Thereby, nephrologists use Immunotherapy to replace the dead kidney tissues and cells, in order to improve declined kidney functions.

When renal cysts are controlled and kidney functions are improved, surely patients with PKD can stay far away from kidney transplant or end stage of renal disease.

If you are diagnosed with Polycystic Kidney Disease and have not got the donated organ by far, we are glad to help you.

Polycystic Nephritis: Cause, Symptoms, Complication, Treatment, Prognosis

Polycystic nephritis results from PKD genes or genic mutation. Generally speaking, if your father or mother has the history of PKD, you have 50% possibility to inherit the disease. If your parents suffered from the disease, the morbidity in you will increase to 75%.

Most patients get the disease from heredity and a few patients get it from genic mutation.

What are the symptoms of Polycystic Nephritis?

As renal cysts enlarge in number and in size, kidney damages will lead to some symptoms as sign to warm the patients for immediate treatment.

-protein in urine

-blood in urine

-back pain, flank pain, pain in sides, pain in abdomen

-frequent urination

-urinary tract infections

What are the complications of Polycystic Nephrites?

-high blood pressure

-kidney failure (Is Renal Failure Permenant?)

-kidney tones

-pregnancy complications

-growth of cysts in the liver

-development of an aneurysm in the brain

-hear valve abnormalities

-colon problems

What are the treatments for Polycystic Nephritis?

● Surgery. Surgery is a common choice for Polycystic Nephritis. Surgery is used to remove the larger cyst to release the pressure to kidney tissues. However, as larger cysts are gone, the smaller ones will develop faster for there is more space to grow up. This therapy surely can not stop the relapse of Polycystic Nephritis.

● Traditional Chinese Medicine. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) stops the growth of renal cyst and shrinks the renal cysts naturally. TCM can take effects on lining cell which secretes cyst fluids constantly. TCM is proved to alleviate Polycystic Nephritis in a large degree and leads no relapse. However, the TCM soup tastes bitter which makes many patients feel sick.

● Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is the new development of TCM, which grinds the loose herbs super-finely and collect the micro-size powder into medical bag which will be used to hot compress on waist area. With the help of osmosis devices, the ingredients of herbs will permeate into kidney lesions and take effects directly. As this is an external application, it avoids the disadvantages of TCM successfully. Meantime, it takes effects faster than the TCM.

Right treatments differ from condition to condition. Which treatment is suitable for you? You can leave your condition below and get the analysis from our experts via email.

How to Alleviate PKD Symptoms: Back Pain, Hypertension, Blood in Urine, Liver Cyst, Kidney Failure

Polycystic Kidney Disease usually is found in one’s 30s, because the cysts are too small in the childhood. In patients’ adulthood, symptoms of PKD become obvious. Alleviations for the symptoms is for your information.

Back Pain

The ancient technique of acupuncture helps relieve chronic back pain better than standard care such as medications or physical therapy, according to a new study.

Acupuncture-like treatments had a positive effect overall on people's chronic back pain, It didn't matter if you inserted the needle or superficially poked” says study researcher Dan Cherkin, PhD.

High Blood Pressure

Normally, Traditional Chinese Medicine doctor is likely to prescript you a combination of several herbs for better effects. Besides herbs for high blood pressure, he or she also will take your PKD into consideration and add other herbs for renal health to prescription. Wholism is the basic concept of Chinese Herbal Medicine, it regards the whole body as one unit and never remedy one part at expense of other parts.

Blood in Urine

Hematuria has no specific treatment. Instead, your doctor will focus on treating the underlying condition. This might include, for instance, taking antibiotics to clear a urinary tract infection, trying a prescription medication to shrink an enlarged cysts, or shock wave therapy to break up bladder or kidney stones.

Liver Cyst

Liver cyst is a common symptom, which is caused by Polycystic Kidney Disease. As the mechanism of cyst on kidneys or on live is the same, your doctors will treat the both disease together and the therapies and drugs are always similar. Herbs are usually used to shrink the cysts both in kidneys and in liver naturally.

Kidney Failure

Kidney failure refers to the renal functions decline. To improve the kidney functions, Immunotherapy are suggested to generate the new healthy functional cells in kidneys and develop kidney functions.

In fact, the root cause of the symptoms is the enlarged cysts. Thereby, the key is to shrink the cysts and avoid the further damages. As long as renal cysts are small enough, the symptom of PKD will disappear spontaneously.
