Why CKD Patients Appear Low Blood Pressure after the Dialysis

I always suffer form the low blood pressure after the dialysis, one of the CKD patients tell me that. I think it is a common question for the CKD patients who are doing the dialysis. and I agree more their mood, so will share something useful to you.

What's Your Blood Pressure?

In 1984 the United States Congress declared May as National Blood Pressure Awareness Month. Twenty years later, more than 50 million American adults (that's about one in six) have high blood pressure, according to the US Department of Health and Human Services.

After diabetes, high blood pressure (also called hypertension) is the second leading cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end stage renal disease (ESRD) in the US. Patients with ESRD must start dialysis or get a kidney transplant to continue living. According to the National Kidney and Urologic Diseases Information Clearinghouse (NKUDIC), high blood pressure causes more than 15,000 new cases of ESRD in the US every year.

Blood pressure and your kidneys

Blood travels away from the heart through special blood vessels, called arteries, to all parts of the body. The pressure of the blood against the walls of the arteries as the heart pumps is what is measured. The blood pressure measurement has two numbers: a top one, and a bottom one. The top number (systolic) is the pressure when the heart pumps blood out. The bottom number (diastolic) is the pressure when the heart relaxes before the next beat.

When blood pressure is high and left untreated, it can damage the blood vessels that carry blood throughout the body. The smaller blood vessels are the ones usually affected first. Kidneys have small blood vessels that can become damaged by high blood pressure. This can lead to CKD. Because one of the jobs of the kidneys is to control blood pressure this can cause more problems. Renin is a hormone produced by the kidneys. When the kidneys are not working properly, they may release renin causing blood pressure to go up even higher.


Though above you must understand the reasons that cause the low blood pressure after the dialysis. and there are a lot of Chinese medical treatments in our hospital can deal with the CKD with blood pressure. The micro-Chinese osmotehrapy is one of them. so if you want to know more information about it, you can send emails to kidneyhospitalabroad@hotmail.com, or add my whatsapp +86 13383015760.

How to Lower Protein in Urine Naturally for PKD Patients with Dialysis

Why there is protein in urine? Most of the PKD patients don’t know the answers. And is there any relationship between the proteinuria and the PKD? I think the following information must can help you.

Polycystic Kidney Disease affects kidney tissue by changing the basic structure filling kidneys with multiples of cysts. Cystic cells replace normal functioning kidney tissue. The cystic kidney cells die and are not capable of being replaced. Eventually for some, polycystic kidneys can start a path toward decreased kidney functioning, eventually culminating with dialysis and/or organ transplant. However, polycystic Liver cells can regenerate new liver cysts. This regeneration produces an expansive liver. Both conditions are inherited, passed within families through the genes. By maintaining the integrity of ones own personal DNA, this can squelch the second hit mechanism that causes an increase in cyst numbers and symptoms.

Diabetes and high blood pressure (hypertension) are the most common causes of kidney disease. Not everyone with diabetes or high blood pressure will develop kidney disease. It’s important for those with these conditions to be checked regularly to find out if their kidneys are affected.

Other causes include:

§ Inherited kidney disease (such as polycystic kidney disease orAlport syndrome)
§ Lupus
§ Acute (sudden) kidney failure
Most kidney diseases damage the kidneys slowly, over a period of years, hence the term chronic kidney disease. Making the proper diagnosis involves blood and urine tests, a complete physical examination, and sometimes a kidney biopsy.
Symptoms of kidney disease:
§ Swelling in the ankles and legs
§ Foamy or bloody urine
§ Fatigue
§ Poor appetite
§ Nausea
§ Itching all over
§ A bad taste in the mouth
§ Confusion

When someone has these symptoms, he/she is said to be uremic, or have uremia. For some people, these symptoms may start when the GFR is 20-30, and other people may still feel good until the GFR is under 15. Whether someone has symptoms can also depend on whether he/she has anemia.

Is There Any Way to Treat the Side Effects of the Dialysis for Kidney Failure Patients

The patients who have done the dialysis know clearly that the dialysis has a lot of the side effects to the kidney failure patients. So do you know the method to deal with the side effects of the dialysis?

Risks and side effects of dialysis

Both haemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis cause side effects. This is because of the way dialysis is carried out and the fact it can only partially compensate for the loss of kidney function.

Fatigue

Fatigue, where you feel tired and exhausted all the time, is a common side effect in people who use either form of dialysis on a long-term basis. Fatigue is thought to be caused by a combination of the:
loss of normal kidney function
effects dialysis can have on the body
dietary restrictions associated with dialysis
overall stress and anxiety that many people with kidney failure experience
You may want to talk to your dietitian to see if your diet can be adjusted to increase your energy levels.

Regular exercise may also help. If you are fatigued and on dialysis, starting a programme of regular exercise can be difficult. But if you persevere, you will probably find that exercising becomes easier with time.
Low-to-moderate aerobic exercise such as cycling, running, walking or swimming is best. Your GP or dialysis care team will be able to advise you about the type of exercise most suitable for you.

The best way for the kidney failure patients to deal with the dialysis is to get rid of the dialysis. the dialysis is not the only option to the kidney failure patients. there are a lot of the Chinese medial therapies in china, such as the Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotheapy, traditional chinese medial bath and the circle Chinese therapy. all of them have an good effects to the kidney failure patients.

If you want to try our Chinese medial therapies, you can send emails to kidneyhospitalabroad@hotmail.com, or add my whatsapp +86 13383015760.

Does Dialysis Cause the Memory Loss for the Stage 4 CKD Patients

When the CKD patients are diagnosed with the stage 4 CKD, they may be suggested to do the dialysis. in order to survive, they choose the dialysis. However, they always suffer from the memory loss. They have the same confusion of does the dialysis cause the memory loss for the stage 4 CKD patients?
A person with stage 4 chronic kidney disease (CKD) has advanced kidney damage with a severe decrease in theglomerular filtration rate (GFR) to 15-30 ml/min. It is likely someone with stage 4 CKD will need dialysis or a kidney transplant in the near future.

As kidney function declines, waste products build up in the blood causing a condition known as uremia. In stage 4, a person is likely to develop complications of kidney disease such as high blood pressure, anemia (a shortage of red blood cells), bone disease,heart disease and other cardiovascular diseases.

Symptoms of stage 4 kidney disease

Symptoms that are experienced in stage 4 include:
§ Memory loss
§ Fluid retention, swelling (edema) of extremities and shortness of breath
§ Urination changes (foamy; dark orange, brown, tea-colored or red if it contains blood; and urinating more or less than normal)
§ Kidney pain felt in their back
§ Sleep problemsdue to muscle cramps or restless legs
§ Nausea and/or vomiting
§ Taste changesa metallic taste in the mouth
§ Bad breath due to urea buildup in the blood
§ Loss of appetite: People may not feel like eating, and some people report having a metallic taste in their mouth or bad breath.
§ Difficulty in concentrating: Having trouble doing everyday things such as balancing a checkbook or focusing on reading the newspaper can occur.
§ Nerve problems: Numbness or tingling in the toes or fingers is a symptom of CKD.


Form above you can know clearly that, the stage 4 CKD can cause the memory loss. There is a good news to you, there are so many chinese medical therapies which can deal with the CKD well. Such as the Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy, if you want to apply it for yourself, you can add my whatsapp +86 13383015760 or send emails to kidneyhospitalabroad@hotmail.com.

What Does It Mean When Your Kidney Shrinks Even after the Dialysis

Some kidney failure patients find that their kidney shrinks a lot than the normal. so they are panic to do the dialysis, but they find that it is no use. What should they do?

The kidneys are two bean-shaped organs located on either side of the spine in the lower middle of the back. The kidneys are responsible for filtering waste through the blood using millions of tiny filters (called nephrons), and flushing them out of the body via the urine. However, when nephrons get damaged, or worse, a kidney fails completely, waste build ups in the blood and can’t be eliminated from the body—which will result in toxic sickness.

Chronic kidney disease (or CKD) is often an issue for years before damage starts to take a serious toll on the body. However, the following ten symptoms do exist and can indicate chronic kidney disease…

1. Pain

In some patients CKD will cause leg pain—especially in the upper back or where the legs meet the torso (on the same side as the failing kidney). Cysts filled with fluid or kidney stones can also result from kidney disease and cause extreme pain in bursts or spasms that come and go.

2. Breathing Difficulty

Shortness of breath can result from kidney issues due to extra fluid or swelling in the lungs, which put pressure on the chest cavity and makes breathing difficult. Decreased oxygen-rich blood cells in the body (anemia) will also cause oxygen-depravity with movements (i.e., walking up stairs).

3. Metallic Taste in Mouth

Uremia, a condition that causes waste to build-up in the bloodstream due to improperly working kidneys will often result in a metallic taste in your mouth accompanied by weight loss due to a severe loss in appetite.

If you have above symptoms that mean your kidney may shrink than before, so you should to receive the effective therapies. the micro-Chinese medicine osmotehrapy may be a good therapy to you. Please send emails to kidneyhospitalabroad@hotmail.com to know more information about our therapy.

In addition, excess fluid sometimes collects in cavities in the abdomen and in the chest. Accumulation of fluid in all of the tissues and cavities of the body at the same time is called as Anasarca. Most of the body's fluids that are found outside of the cells are normally stored in two spaces:

1. Blood vessels and
2. Interstitial spaces (narrow spaces within body tissues that are outside the blood vessels).
