Foods Renal Failure Patients Should not Eat

High-phosphorus Food:
Patients with Kidney Failure are not allowed to eat high-phosphorus food. Excess intake of phosphorus will result in hyperphosphatemia, which will do harm to repairing damaged kidneys and their whole body. Kelp, nori, animal offal, honey and yolk rich in phosphorus are not allowed to eat.

High-fat Food:
Excessive intake of fat may lead to hyperliperia, which is not benefical to patients’ recover. Damaged kidneys will deteriorate further. Patients are not allowed to cook with animal oil. Greasy food (hamburger, beefsteak, fried drumstick and chicken wings) is also not advocated to them. Plant oil, especially maize oil is recommended to be used to cook.

High-potassium Food:
Patients with Kidney Failure had better not eat food rich in potassium, such as banana, lily, Hami melon, orange, tremella, raisin and potato. The inability of patients’ kidneys to discharge extra potassium may cause hyperkalemia, which may lead to abnormal heart rhythm and even death. Even when their disease condition can be controlled well, they are allowed to be supplied proper quantity of potassium. In this condition, patients must follow their doctor’s advice strictly.

High-salt Food:
Large intake of salt will cause water and sodium retention in blood for kidneys’ inability to discharge sodium, which may damage patients’ kidneys further. And this condition will give rise to high blood pressure, which is harmful to damaged kidneys. Patients should eat low-food food, such as seafood. When they cook, they are allowed to take a small spoon of salt in food. Consult your doctor that whether the food you eat regularly are allowed to eat.

High-protein Food:
High-protein food is not allowed to eat for them, such as beans, soymilk, melon seeds, peanut and walnut. High-quality, low protein food contributes to supplying needed protein for body and repairing damaged kidneys. Excessive intake of protein will damage glomerulis, and renal tubules. All of these will aggravate kidney fibrosis.

Causes for Nausea in Renal Failure

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.

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.

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.

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.
If you have any follow-up questions about nausea in Renal Failure or you want to know the efficient and natural treatment for Renal Failure, you are welcomed to send us an email to doctornickzhang@hotmail.com, or you can leave us a message.

Skin Disease in Renal Failure

Skin itching is the most common disease problem for the patients with End Stage Renal Failure. Based on some research, about 60 to 80 percent of them will experience skin itching problem. It is also said that nearly 86 to 95 of the patients on dialysis also have to encounter the problems of skin itching for the phosphorus can not be filtrated out of blood abundantly.

Besides skin itching, they still have pale skin, which is related to the secondary anemia. Extensive bruising of the skin for the platelets and other hemostatic abnormalities is often seen. Some patients experience firm plaques or nodules on the surfaces of the larger joints with a chalky material exuding because of calcium deposits in the skin.

In order to solve the skin problems, the patients should use a hypo-allergenic soap and avoid long and warm baths. Moreover, they should avoid drying of the skin. After towel drying, they should apply a thick moisturizer while the skin is still damp. However, those measures can only alleviate the skin problems to some extent, but they can not solve them from the root cause. As the skin problems are caused by the build-up of wastes in body, the patients should firstly remove those wastes out of their bodies firstly.

In normal cases, our kidneys can filtrate our blood and excrete the wastes and excessive fluid out of body so as to keep our internal environment clean and maintain our normal physiological activities. However, for the patients with Renal Failure, their kidneys can not function normally. Therefore, the patients should improve renal blood circulation thus promoting the excretion of wastes.

Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy makes full use of traditional Chinese medicines in improving blood circulation. The effective integrants of Chinese medicines can dilate blood vessels thus accelerating blood flow. As a result, the accumulated wastes will be able to brought into urine and be discharged out of body in urine. In this way, the patients can treat skin disease from the root cause.

IgA Nephropathy: High Creatinine Level And Prognosis

When kidney damages develop seriously, high creatinine levels will send a signal. The following information is about high creatinine level in IgA Nephropathy and its prognosis.

Creatinine is a kind of micromolecule urotoxins, which is the byproduct of muscle activity. In normal condition, these urotoxins will be filtered out by kidneys and keep your blood and body healthy. However, once your kidneys cannot cleanse them out, it will elevate the levels of creatinine.

Creatinine reflects the kidney function levels, however, it is not fast enough. Only when kidney functions decline more than 30%~50%, the creatinine levels goes up later on.

Thereby, to monitor the early kidney damages, you are suggested with the specific test for early kidney damages, such as β2 microglobulin, CysC, HCY, RBP, RBP etc. These tests are smarter than creatinine to monitor kidney condition, which are especially recommended to people with diabetes, high blood pressure and whose family member suffering from kidney disease.

Once high creatinine levels occur, it indicates that IgA Kidney Disease patients have developed into a serious kidney damages. In this condition, the treatment that only controls the symptoms by limiting the inflammation is not enough. Patients are suggested to improve kidney functions in a short time. Otherwise, you may miss the key time and wait for kidney falling and go on dialysis or register on waiting list.

Generally speaking, the prognosis of IgA Nephropathy is good. Its prognosis mainly depends on the following factors.

1.Usually, the prognosis of male patients with IgA Nephropathy is bad. Moreover, the elder the patients are, the worse its prognosis will be.
2. The prognosis of the patients with frequent gross hematuiria is bad.
3. If the patients are accompanied with a mass of protein in urine, the prognosis is bad.
4. If the blood pressure is beyond control, the prognosis of IgA Nephropathy is bad.
5. The patients with serious pathological changes, its prognosis is worse.

Deal with Hematuria in IgA Nephropathy

IgA Nephropathy (Berger′s Disease) patients appear to have microscopic hematuria and gross hematuria.The symptoms are mainly caused due to damages of glomerular filtration membrane. How to deal with hematuria?

1. The best way to prevent hematuria is to have regular and balanced diet. Never eat something too salty or too greasy. Eat less meat. Eat more vegetables. Develop a good habit of drinking water in daily life.

2. Do proper physical activities regularly.

3. Have a correct understand of hematuria and do not be too worried. Gross hematuria refers to 1~3ml blood in 1000ml urine, so it will not cause serious blood loss.

4. Keep a balance between work and rest. Avoid over-strain work and strenuous exercise.

5. Treat inflammatory disease, such as urinary tract infection, etc positively.
Apart from taking daily nursing care, IgA Nephropathy patients should be clear that only with effective treatment, can you get rid of hematuria permanently. If you are interested in the natural and efficient treatment for IgA Nephropathy, you can send us an email to doctornickzhang@hotmail.com, or you can leave us a message.

The Foods That IgA Nephropathy Patients Should Avoid

Animal livers.
IgA Nephropathy patients can not eat or less eat the food rich in cholesterol, such as animal internal organs-livers or hearts and they should eat more food rich in fatty acid(such as plant oil, deep sea fish oil)and food rich in fibrin, such as green vegetables, celeries and so on.

Meat and fish
All the Kidney Disease patients including IgA Nephropathy ones need to follow what the doctor suggested and avoid to eat meat and fish during the Festivals. They should stick to the eating habits as usual.
This is because meat and fish are diet taboos for Kidney Disease patients who should have ‘quality low-protein’ diet and they also belong to high-fat foods(mainly including cholesterol and triglycerides). A high-fat diet will not only aggravate the damage to the patients’ kidney but it also can damage the kidney of the healthy people.

Fried foods
Use vegetable oil to cook food and eat less Fried foods. Eat little peanuts, because they contain much oil. But the patients can eat some walnuts, sunflower seeds, nut let and so on.

In addition, IgA Nephropathy patients cannot eat spicy food, seafood, beef, mutton, crabs, garlic, onions, parsley, dog meat and wine, coffee, dressings and other stimulating food. IgA Nephropathy patients should not eat any tonic food and hot food, such as chili, litchi, chocolate, etc. The patients are yin deficiency with purple tongue, astringent pulse, hard breath, abdominal distension and so on should keep the diet taboo in mind.

Chinese Herbal Medicine for IgA Nephropathy

If you are suffering from IgA Nephropathy, the following information about pathogenesis and treatment for IgA Nephropathy can be helpful.
In fact, the pathological changes of IgA Nephropathy are caused due to IgA and immune complex deposits in mesangial area of the glomeruli. So renal ischemia and anoxia will appear. Gradually, part of the glomeruli become impaired or scarred, and even sclerosed finally. Glomeruli function as the filtering units of the kidneys and are in charging of cleaning the blood. With scarred glomeruli, big molecules like proteins and red blood cells will spill out into the urine, resulting in proteinuria and hematuria.Metabolic disorders can also appear, so wastes products like BUN, uric acid, creatine, etc will buildup within patient′s body.

Chinese herbs have long been used to treat many diseases in traditional Chinese medicine(TCM), and their curative effects are also significant. However, the decoction tastes bitter and long-term application will also cause digestive ailments.

To overcome the above incompetent sides of traditional Chinese herbs, nephrologists in our hospital create an innovative therapy-Traditional Chinese medicine iontophoresis with our own equipment. It is an external application. The Chinese herbs are micronized into granules which can be permeated into lesions directly with the help of modern osmosis technology.

Traditional Chinese medicine iontophoresis can remove the IgA and immune complex deposited in masangial area by improving blood circulation. Then the states of ischemia and anoxia will be remitted, and further damages to the glomeruli can be prevented. Moreover, Chinese herbal medicine can provide abundant micronutrients to repair the impaired or scarred glomeruli as well as improve overall immunity.

How Can TCM Cure Kidney Failure

If you are suffering from Kidney Failure, the following information about TCM treating Kidney Failure is expected to be helpful.

Herbal therapy: herbal combinations or formulas are applied to strengthen and support organ system function. An innovative herbal medicine has shown surprising effects on treating Kidney Failure, which is known as Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy.

Different from traditional oral medicine, this therapy is an external application. Chinese medicine is abstracted from the herbal plants, without any side effects to human body.

With high permeability selectively target the kidney, Chinese Medicine can arrive at renal lesions directly in one minute. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy has high local concentration, high bioavailability and strong osmotic force and avidity, so it can quickly improve the pathological state of the kidney, promote the remedy of damaged nephrons, and achieve the effect of regulating immune function.

This is an ancient medical system that has been practiced for more than five thousand years. It aims at treat the root cause of disease, not only its symptoms. In modern-day terms, TCM is holistic in its approach. The following is a brief introduction to TCM′s effects on treating Kidney Failure.
Qigong: an energy practice, generally encompassing simple movements and postures. This system emphasizes nourishing, strengthening, and healing the kidney.
Acupuncture: the insertion of needles in acupoints to help Qi flow smoothly. It can aid the flow of clean energy into the body to release the energy that promote renal function.

Acupressure: the use of specific hand techniques to help Qi flow smoothly. Several specific points on the foot, ankle and near the second lumbar vertebrae are pressed for some seconds to promote kidney health.

If you still have the confidence and hopes in your heart to avoid dialysis and kidney transplant, then TCM may be your another treatment option. If you have any confusions, you can send us an email to doctornickzhang@hotmail.com, or you can leave us a message.

Swelling in Face in Type 1 Diabetes

As a patient with Type 1 Diabetes, if you notice the swelling in face, the following information can be helpful.

If the patients have the swelling occasionally, it is may be caused by excess water intake or overwork etc. However, if it exists for too long and reoccurs frequently, the patients should pay more attention to it because it is may be related to kidney injury.

Kidney injury is very common in the patients with a long history of Diabetes such as above 10 years.

The capillaries in kidneys are responsible for filtering blood and discharging metabolic products. Meanwhile, the kidneys can keep the useful stuffs in blood. However, if blood sugar level is controlled poorly, it will impair the capillaries. As a result, the kidneys can not function normally and a lot of waste products build up in body and a lot of proteins leak into urine.
On one hand, as proteins leak into urine, the protein level in blood will decline. Afterwards, fluid in blood vessels will immerse into subcutaneous tissue. As the tissues in face are soft, it is involved primarily.
On the other hand, the kidneys can not filter fluid normally as before. As a result, they will build up in body. It is also a common cause of swelling in face.

So, how to relieve it?
1. The patients with type 1 Diabetes should limit water intake properly.
2. The doctors will recommend some diuretic to relive it.
3. The patients should go for tests to find out if it is caused by kidney injury.

If so, they should take proper treatment as soon as possible. If the patients with type 1 Diabetes have proteins in urine, the disease usually at least has developed into stage 3 of Diabetic Nephropathy.

To prevent renal injury, the experts remind all the patients with Diabetes that they should go for regular microalbuminuria.

The best treatment for diabetic kidney disease nowadays is Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy which can help patients avoid dialysis and kidney transplant effectively. If you have any confusions, you can send us an email to doctornickzhang@hotmail.com, or you can leave us a message.

Lupus: Fish, Omega Vitamins, Soy Milk

Diet and nutrition guidelines for people with lupus are not different than for anyone else. In general, people with lupus should try to eat a nutritious, well-balanced, and varied diet that contains plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, moderate amounts of meats, poultry, and oily fish.In order to increase the amount of omega 3 fatty acids in your diet, there are alternatives to fish. Walnuts/walnut oil or flax seeds/flax seed oil are some of the best sources. In fact, these foods are as good as fish!

Soy products are high in isoflavones, a type of phytoestrogen, and have estrogenic activity in the human body. There is relatively little research on the effects of a soy diet on lupus. One animal study from Japan that was conducted within the past several years found that mice put on a diet high in soy had a worsening of the clinical course of lupus, but another more recent study (also in mice) found that not only did soy isoflavones not lead to worsening of lupus, the disease may actually have been improved. What this means is that the "jury is still out" on the effects of a diet high in soy. Keep in mind that the studies mentioned here were conducted in animals; not humans. So while there is the potential for large quantities of soy to contribute to a worsening of your disease, smaller amounts are probably OK. Talk with your health care provider about your specific situation though.

Lastly, it is common for people with autoimmune diseases such as lupus to be anemic (low hemoglobin). In general, foods high in iron should be included as a regular part of your diet. Specific recommendations may vary depending on your particular disease, but the best sources of iron are red meat (other meats are good too), legumes, iron-enriched breads and cereals, and green leafy vegetables. Iron absorption is increased if you consume it along with a vitamin C source – try an enriched cereal with orange juice in the morning!

If you still want to know more about diet for lupus or related information about complications of lupus, you can send us an email to doctornickzhang@hotmail.com or you can leave us a message.

Are There Certain Foods that Aggravate Lupus Symptoms

One food that should be avoided is alfalfa. Alfalfa supplements have been associated with lupus flares, perhaps because of the amino acid L-canavanine which can increase inflammation. Other foods that are sometimes mentioned as ones to avoid include ‘night shade’ vegetables (potatoes, tomatoes, eggplants and peppers), but there is only anecdotal evidence that they may increase inflammation. Scientific evidence has not suggested that these vegetables aggravate disease symptoms. In general, unless a particular food seems to trigger a lupus flare, there is no reason to avoid most foods. Foods that seem to trigger a flare vary greatly from person to person, so a food that causes problems for one person may have no effect on you. There is no ‘lupus diet’ of foods that either should or should not be consumed, unless someone has kidney damage and has been advised to limit their protein intake.

If you still want to know more about diet for lupus, you can leave us a message or send us an email to doctornickzhang@hotmail.com. Moreover, we have to say that lupus can affect many organs in the body, once your notice your high creatinine levels, you should know that only reasonable diet is not enough to help you control the condition well.

Why Is My Creatinine Level High

Creatinine is the product of muscle metabolism, and it should be removed from the blood by kidneys along with the urine. But why some patients still have high creatinine levels?

As for the reasons of high creatinine level, it often includes a lot of varieties, such as diet, high blood pressure, Diabetes, and many other reasons.
At this time, what the patients should do is to go and take a series of thorough inspections. By examinations, the patients and doctors will have a clear understanding the underlying reasons for high creatinine levels. Based on the reasons, the doctors may adopt the according treatment plans for you.
As I have said before, the elevated creatinine level is a possible indicator for kidney damage, but it is maybe not the fact. High creatinine levels may also be caused by other diseases such as hyperthyroidism.

If the elevated creatinine is really caused by the kidney damages, then this condition becomes somewhat serious. That is because although creatinine could reflect the conditions of kidney damages, however, it is not a sensitive signal in doing that job. When the GFR has declined to the one third of the normal GFR levels, creatinine then just begins to sharply climb.

So if the high creatinine level is really induced by the harmed kidneys, it often indicates your kidneys have been badly injured. So these patients should take necessary inspections as early as possible.

What is your creatinine level now? If you want to get the list of food for high creatinine level or the natural treatment for high creatinine level, you can send us an email to doctornickzhang@hotmail.com, or you can leave us a message. We will give you free medical advices within 48 hours.

Nephrotic Syndrome Diet

Nephrotic Syndrome is a group of symptoms that include protein in the urine, low blood protein levels, high cholesterol levels, high triglyceride levels, and swelling. Swelling is the most common symptom and it may occur in the belly area, face and around the eyes and arms and legs. If Nephrotic Syndrome can not be treated well, the condition may develop into Renal Failure or Uremia, in that case, you may be faced with dialysis or a kidney transplant. Except for the efficient therapy, reasonable and proper diet is also very important.

Changes in diet is the first step towards curing Nephrotic Syndrome and it is one of the best possible treatments for Nephrotic Syndrome that can be easily implemented. Patients with Nephrotic Syndrome should eat high quality protein such as eggs, fish, lean meat to compensate for protein loss. Proteins are found naturally in fruits and vegetables and having a pure vegetarian diet can also be a good option. However, in order to prevent the further kidney damage, excessive protein intake should be avoided. Also one must stay away from saturated fats such as cheese and margarine and excess of oily foods.

Patients should control fluid intake for they are unable to regulate their body’s water balance. Fruits such as berries, grapes and watermelon can help to stop thirst. Patients with Nephrotic Syndrome should minimize the intake of these foods, such as soda, juice and other beverages, ice cream, pudding, soup and so on.

Sodium should be limited in your diet, or it may cause fluid accumulation and cause severe complications. Something likes salted wafers, salted cashew nuts must be limited for they contain a high amount of sodium. Foods such as cereals, plain breads and rice should be eaten more.

No matter what you want to know about Nephrotic Syndrome, you are welcomed to choose the way you like to let us know: send us an email to doctornickzhang@hotmail.com or leave us a message. We will provide you free medical advices.

Diet with Purpura Nephritis

Purpura is purple-colored spots and patches that occur on the skin, organs, and in mucus membranes, including the lining of the mouth.

What is purpura nephritis?
The disease, just as its name denotes, is caused by HSP. How? The kidneys get involved because of immune complexes just like any other kidney disease. What are the immune complexes in this disease? They are IgA and C3. Those immune complexes deposit in kidneys through the blood flow. Renal blood capillary and intrinsic cells are infected accordingly.

How should patients with Purpura Nephritis eat?
1.Intake of salt
If patients with Purpura Nephritis do not have symptoms of edema and high blood pressure, they need not limit intake of salt. Under this condition, they can take 10 gram of salt each day as normal people. Patients with edema and high blood pressure should limit intake of salt. If patients do not limit intake of salt, retention of sodium and water will aggravate and edema is difficult to be removed, which will lead to a rise in blood pressure. Generally speaking, patients should take 2-3 gram of salt. Patients with oliguria and increased blood potassium should limit intake of sylvite.
2. Intake of water
If patients with Purpura Nephritis do not have symptoms of oliguria and edema, they need not control the intake of water. Patients with edema should control intake of water mainly according to urine volume and the degree of edema. Generally speaking, if the symptom of edema is obvious, patients should limit the intake of water within 500-800 ml/day except eating food.
3. Patients with Purpura Nephritis should have a good rest when they receive treatment. Patients with serious conditions can not take a bath themselves for a long time, which can avoid cold and overfatigue. Patients can not wash the clothes and exercise for a long time. Patients should avoid riding a bicycle. They should set up the confidence of conquering disease.

How to Lower High Creatinine Level in Chronic Kidney Disease

Those who suffer from chronic kidney disease have impaired kidneys, which results in the inefficient removal of blood toxins like creatinine. When toxins build up in the blood, severe health complications can occur, including fatigue due to anemia, water retention, and even kidney failure. To reduce creatine and creatinine levels in the blood, several steps must be taken to improve the outcome for patients with chronic kidney disease.
CONTROL YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE
Step 1
Check your blood pressure. According to the National Kidney and Urologic Diseases Information Clearinghouse, high blood pressure can lead to chronic kidney disease and vice versa, which can cause high blood creatinine levels.
Step 2
Get a prescription. If you have high blood pressure, talk to your doctor about medications to control it. Common blood pressure medicines include angiotensin converting enzyme, or ACE, inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers, or ARBs.
Step 3
Monitor your blood pressure. Sufferers of chronic kidney disease should carefully monitor their blood pressure because it can cause more damage to the kidneys, resulting in an increase of dangerous blood toxins like creatinine.
MAINTAIN A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE
Step 1
Eat a low-protein diet. Foods rich in protein, like meat, fish and beans, should be limited to reduce the buildup of blood toxins like creatinine. Instead, incorporate more fruits, vegetables and whole grain foods into your diet to replace the high-protein foods.
Step 2
Reduce your cholesterol. Cholesterol contributes to hardened arteries, which can increase blood pressure and damage your kidneys. Focus on low-fat foods in your diet to lower your cholesterol to healthy levels.
Step 3
Stop smoking. If you are a smoker, you need to stop now. Smoking significantly increases your blood pressure, which can further damage your kidneys and leave elevated levels of toxins in your blood.
However, it is not enough to lower high creatinine level by this. If you want to know more about natural treatment options for high creatinine level, you can send us an email to doctornickzhang@hotmail.com, or you can leave us a message.

What Are The Causes of High Creatinine Levels

Creatinine is the waste that develops from the metabolism of the muscle. When levels of creatinine become too high it can be dangerous and can cause the kidney's to shut down. A laboratory test called serum creatinine or a urinalysis will help to show how the kidneys are functioning.

CHRONIC KIDNEY FAILURE
Damage to your kidneys can be a cause of chronic kidney failure. According to the Mayo Clinic, chronic kidney failure occurs when there is a gradual loss of kidney function. This can cause a buildup of toxins and waste in the body and lead to high creatinine levels. According to the Mayo Clinic, this chronic kidney failure can be caused by a variety of reasons including high blood pressure, enlarged prostate, lupus, kidney cancer and scleroderma. Kidney failure is a life-threatening medical condition and requires immediate medical attention.

URINARY TRACT BLOCKAGE
A blocked urinary tract can lead to a buildup of creatinine levels, and this can show as high levels in lab results. According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, urinary tract blockages can occur because of bladder cancer, kidney stones, blood clots, neurogenic bladder and various other reasons. This can be a serious medical condition and should be immediately checked out by a physician. It can cause pain, discomfort and even lead to hospitalization.

DIABETES
High creatinine levels can be caused by diabetes. Diabetes often damages the kidneys, especially when the disease is not controlled and blood sugar levels are not kept within a normal range. According to the Mayo Clinic, diabetes can cause a breakdown of fat which causes a toxic acid called ketones to build up in the kidney. If left untreated, this buildup of ketones can cause serious kidney damage and this can lead to high creatinine levels. Diabetes should be respected; it is important to monitor your blood sugar levels as your physician prescribes.

Diet and Food for Gout and Kidney Disease

In the past this was was associated with kings and royalty, due to the excess consumption of certain foods and drinks. Now it is simply known as gout – and now it is very easy for all of us to over indulge. Gout and kidney disease unfortunately go hand in hand. Now let’s see the diet and food for gout and kidney disease.

1. Avoid alcohol – beer especially, as it has the most purine content out of alcoholic drinks.
2. Reduce excess weight.
3. Consume 225 grams (half a pound) of Cherries each day for two weeks. This will help lower uric acids levels naturally. You may use either fresh or frozen cherries. You may also like to try 250 mLs of cherry juice a day instead. After the two weeks, lower the dose to 100mLs for maintenance and prevention.
4. Drink plenty of water – dehydration can aggravate gout.
5. Limit purines in diet – Foods with a very high purine content are: Anchovies, Beef, Bouillon, Brains, Broth, Consommé, Dried legumes, Goose, Gravy, Heart, Herring, Kidneys, Liver, Mackerel, Meat extracts, Mussels, Organ meats, Partridge, Roe, Sardines, Scallops, Shrimp, Sweetbreads, Yeast (baker’s and brewer’s), Yeast extracts (e.g., Marmite, Vegemite). Foods with a high amount of purines include meats, poultry, fish, and shellfish. Foods with a moderate purine content include: asparagus, cauliflower, legumes, lentils, mushrooms, oatmeal, peas, soy, spinach, tripe.
6. Bromelain: reduces inflammation via enzymatic properties; take between meals. Naturally occurs within pineapple.
7. Amino acids: Alanine, aspartic acid, glutamic acid, and glycine: help increase the excretion of uric acid via the kidneys.
8. Fish oil: reduces inflammation. Make sure it is high quality, highly filtered fish oil to eliminate heavy metals.

High Creatinine, High BUN and High Potassium

Potassium, blood urea nitrogen, or BUN, and creatinine blood tests can monitor kidney function in patients diagnosed with kidney disease. High levels of potassium in the blood, elevated BUN and elevated creatinine are all indicators of some degree of kidney dysfunction.

BUN
When you eat protein, your body breaks it down into its building blocks, which are called amino acids. When protein is broken down, a waste product called nitrogen is produced in the liver. This nitrogen combines with other molecules to create another waste product called urea. Urea then enters the bloodstream where the kidneys remove it from the body through your urine. A healthy individual has very small amounts of urea in the blood. When the kidneys are not functioning properly, they do not remove urea, and levels accumulate in the blood. A blood urea nitrogen, or BUN, test measures the amount of urea in your blood. A healthy BUN usually falls between 7 and 20 mg/dL. If your BUN level exceeds 20 mg/dL, it can indicate kidney disease.

CREATININE
Your muscles use a compound called creatine in order to contract. Every time your muscles contract, creatine is broken down and a waste product called creatinine is produced. This creatinine enters your blood and travels to your kidneys, where almost all of it is removed by your kidneys. A normal blood creatinine level falls between 0.8 to 1.4 mg/dL. Elevated levels of creatinine in the blood indicate that the kidneys are not functioning normally.

POTASSIUM
The most common cause of high potassium in the blood, or hyperkalemia, is kidney disease, according to MayoClinic.com. Most of the potassium in your body is found inside of your cells, although a small amount circulates throughout your body in your blood. A healthy blood potassium level falls between 3.6 and 4.8 mEq/L. Normally, your kidneys maintain tight control of the level of potassium in your blood by filtering excess potassium from the blood when needed. When your kidneys are not working properly, they do not remove potassium from the blood efficiently, causing levels to increase above 4.8 mEq/L.

How about your condition? If you suffering from high BUN level, high creatinine level or high potassium level, you can send us an email to doctornickzhang@hotmail.com, or leave us a message to get diet suggestions and natural treatment options.

How Should People with High Creatinine Levels Eat

Chronic high serum creatinine levels generally indicate poor kidney function and may also result from dehydration or the breakdown of muscle fibers that release myoglobin in the bloodstream. Dietary changes along with medical intervention can help lower serum creatinine levels.

Foods highest in creatine, which cause an increase in the production of creatinine, come from animal-based sources. Wild game, including meat from venison, alligator, duck, geese and wild turkeys, are excessively high in creatine and should be eliminated from your diet completely if you have kidney disease. Farmed poultry, beef, dairy and fish are also plentiful sources of protein but you can consume these sparingly to prevent nutrient deficiency. The average recommended daily allowance of protein for healthy adults ranges from 50 to 100 g per day. Limit daily protein to 40 to 50 g per day or as otherwise advised by your physician to reduce serum creatinine levels.

Keep track of your daily protein intake with knowledge of the amount in each serving size of your favorite foods. A 1-oz. serving of lean beef, chicken, pork or fish contains 7 to 14 g of protein. Dairy foods such as whole, skim or low-fat milk, ice cream and yogurt yield 4 g of protein per 1/2 cup serving. Cheese products have slightly higher amounts of protein, with 7 g per 1-oz. serving. Read product labels for exact amount based on serving size.

Monitor your protein intake but also adhere to a balanced diet. A low-protein and kidney-friendly breakfast may include one half cup of orange juice, two slices of wheat toast with jelly and apple slices. For lunch eat a sandwich containing a 1-oz. serving of baked chicken, one tomato slice and lettuce leaf on white bread, plus a side of canned peaches with a lemon-lime beverage. Dinner can include a 3-oz. grilled steak, small baked potato and a side of green beans. Eat snacks in between meals to sustain energy. A fruit cup, pineapple slices or celery sticks dipped with peanut butter maintain nutrition but help lower creatinine levels.

If you want to get a specific food table, you are welcomed to send us an email to doctornickzhang@hotmail.com, or you can leave us a message. Also only the low-protein diet is not enough to treat high creatinine levels, the key is to make kidneys go back to work normally again.

Something about Creatinine and Diet You Should Know

As kidney function deteriorates, blood creatinine tends to rise and the urinary removal of creatinine may become inefficient. The following information is about creatinine and diet. However, only reasonable diet is not enough, click here to know more: Diet And Treatment for High Creatinine Level.

Despite common belief, diet does not significantly affect the blood level of creatinine, according to the Foundation for IgA Nephropathy. However, a diet rich in meat can sometimes increase the filtration or removal of creatinine by the kidneys and increase the creatinine clearance, which is based on the ratio of 24-hour urinary excretion of creatinine and blood creatinine. Meat contains creatine, which is metabolized to creatinine and removed by the kidneys as the creatine in the muscles. In general, if you follow a high-meat or high-protein diet, your creatinine test result, especially the creatinine clearance rate, may vary to a certain extent. But the general trend over time usually does not change significantly.

Dehydration reduces the blood flow to your kidneys and interferes with the removal of blood creatinine. Dehydration also directly increases blood creatinine as the loss of water concentrates the substances in the blood. If you exercise intensively, drink water or carbohydrate-containing sports drinks before, during and after exercise to prevent dehydration, especially in hot and humid environment. Stay adequately hydrated before a creatinine test to avoid false positives.

Generally speaking, people with high creatinine level are usually suggested to keep a low protein diet. If you want to get the food table for high creatinine level, you can send us an email to doctornickzhang@hotmail.com, or leave us a message below.

High Protein Diet & Creatinine

Creatinine is filtered out of the body solely by your kidneys. Therefore, a high concentration of creatinine in the bloodstream is, clinically, taken to mean that your kidneys may not be functioning properly. However, because a diet high in protein may also raise creatinine levels, it's important to be aware of the difference between diet-induced creatinine formation and creatinine levels associated with reduced kidney function

People follow high protein diets in order to promote muscle growth. When more protein is metabolized by the body, creatinine secretion is increased. Healthy kidneys are able to filter creatinine from the body. According to the U.S. National Institutes of Health, unhealthy kidneys are unable to filter excess creatinine from the body, resulting in its accumulation in the bloodstream in high quantities. If an increase in dietary protein intake has occurred without any other symptoms, then raised creatinine levels should not be a great cause for concern.

Although a high protein diet may increase creatinine levels, the effects of which may be efficiently handled by healthy kidneys, it is crucial to be aware of the implications presented by a diet which is not only high in protein, but also low in carbohydrates; such as those promoted to induce rapid weight loss. According to experts at the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology, a high protein, low carbohydrate, or ketogenic, diet increases your risk of hypofibrinolysis, which can cause blood clots. Medline Plus states that a diet high in meat protein may increase cholesterol levels and contribute to gout, with its typical symptoms of hot, red, swollen joints.

If high creatinine level is caused by kidney damage and impaired kidney function, then only low-protein diet is not enough. If you want to get the food table for high creatinine level, you are welcomed to leave us message or send us an email to doctornickzhang@hotmail.com.

Do Arginine Supplements Cause BUN Level to Elevate

Arginine is an amino acid that plays a key part in the urea cycle, which enables your body to rid itself of excess nitrogen. Your body converts nitrogen to ammonia. Ammonia then undergoes a series of chemical reactions in the liver that lead to arginine reacting with the enzyme arginase to produce ornithine and urea. The urea cycle is essential for life in humans and other mammals since it rids the body of ammonia, which is toxic.

Slightly elevated BUN levels cause no symptoms and are nothing to worry about. An excessively high BUN level is a condition called "uremia," which causes symptoms such as confusion, thirst, fatigue, dry mouth and rapid pulse. Uremia can cause a decrease in urination and sometimes an increase in urination at night. You may also experience swelling, abdominal pain and paleness if you are suffering from uremia. Severe uremia is dangerous and can lead to acute kidney failure.

Treatment for uremia depends on its severity and can include blood transfusion and intravenous fluids, medications to increase cardiac output and hemodialysis.
According to MayoClinic.com, people with asthma should not use arginine because it may increase airway inflammation. Arginine can cause outbreaks in people with the herpes virus and flare-ups in gout sufferers. Pregnant or nursing women should not take arginine supplements because their safety during pregnancy and nursing has not been proven. Also, women with breast cancer should not take arginine supplements. Don't take arginine if you are also taking nitrates, medication for high blood pressure or phosphodiesterase inhibitors such as Viagra or Cialis.

If you find your high BUN level is caused by kidney damage, then the best way to lower high BUN level is to repair kidney damage and recover kidney function. If you don’t want to experience dialysis or kidney transplant, you should learn more about treatment options which can recover kidney function. If you need any help, you can leave us a message or send us an email to doctornickzhang@hotmail.com.

Does Drinking Coffee Lower High BUN level

People with altered BUN levels may have ailments that include kidney disease, malnutrition or liver disease. Consumption of coffee will not lead to lowered BUN levels.

Coffee consumption is not as dangerous to your health as doctors and scientists once believed, MayoClinic.com reports. Still, it can come with some risks. If you drink unfiltered coffee, you can significantly increase your blood levels of cholesterol. Some people can’t efficiently break down the caffeine in coffee, and subsequently have increased risks for heart disease if they drink two or more cups of coffee per day. If you drink four or more cups of coffee a day, its caffeine content can trigger side effects that include a rapid heartbeat, muscle tremors, insomnia, irritability, restlessness, nervousness and an upset stomach.

If you have impaired kidney function, consumption of too much fluid can trigger symptoms that include high blood pressure, swelling of your tissues and shortness of breath. To lighten the load on your kidneys, your doctor may ask you to restrict your intake of coffee and all other beverages or liquids, including water, tea, sodas, soups, alcohol and ice cubes. In some cases, people with significant kidney damage can produce normal BUN readings if one if their kidneys remains fully functional. Consult your doctor for more information on BUN testing and the potential consequences of coffee consumption.

Though Diet for Elevated BUN is very important, the most important thing is to help patients repair the kidney damage and recover kidney function. If you want to lower high BUN level safely and effectively, maybe Chinese herbal medicines can be your best choice. If you want to know about the list of medicines, you can leave us a message or send us an email to doctornickzhang@hotmail.com

What Are Diabetic Nephropathy Symptoms

Kidney damage occurs in the nephrons, the functional units of the kidney, which consist of a capillary network called glomeruli. Glomeruli filter wastes from the blood, control blood pressure, regulate electrolytes, stimulate red blood cell production, and produce urine. Diabetic nephropathy symptoms directly relate to the kidneys' inability to function properly.

SWELLING
As the diabetic nephropathy progresses, swelling occurs in the legs. Swelling occurs as the result of the kidneys not being able to control the balance of water, sodium and other electrolytes. Physicians prescribe a class of blood pressure medication called ACE inhibitors, allowing the kidneys to balance water and sodium, thereby decreasing blood pressure and also preventing further damage to the kidneys. According to MedlinePlus, the goal of the ACE inhibitors is to maintain a blood pressure less than 130/80mm Hg. Adverse effects of ACE-inhibitors include severe low blood pressure, severe coughing and decrease in urine output, notes the text "Pharmacology: A Nursing Process Approach."

FATIGUE
Symptoms such as fatigue, shortness of breath and exercise intolerance may be related to the kidneys' inability to effectively regulate red blood cell production, thereby leading to anemia. Anemia is diagnosed based on the blood test result of a complete blood count, revealing decreased red blood cells. The kidneys release a hormone called erythropoietin to stimulate bone marrow's production of red blood cells. Due to the presence of diabetic nephropathy, the kidneys produce less erythropoietin, leading to a decrease of red blood cell production. Red blood cells consist of a protein-rich compound called hemoglobin, which carries oxygen to cells and carbon dioxide away from cells to the lungs for excretion through exhalation.
An exogenous, or man-made, erythropoietin, such as Procrit, treats anemia caused by chronic kidney disease, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Physicians prescribe these injections to help stimulate bone marrow to produce more red blood cells. However, Procrit injections carry a risk of patients developing blood clots.

URINARY CHANGES
The glomeruli have tiny pores that usually keep proteins from slipping through the urine. Evidence of kidney damage occurs when the opposite happens. Urine may appear dark and frothy at times during the late stages of chronic kidney failure. Some people at this stage of diabetic nephropathy may experience decreased urine output.
The physician may order a blood test that would reveal high blood urea nitrogen-BUN levels, which are toxins in the blood normally excreted by the kidneys, and a high creatinine level. Creatinine, a waste product from physiological metabolic processes, normally ranges between 0.5 to 1.2 mg/dL of a blood sample, according to the book "Medical-Surgical Nursing." Increased creatinine levels signify kidney damage. Blood urea nitrogen measures the amount of urea, which is an end product of protein metabolism released by the liver, circulated through the blood and excreted by the kidneys. Normal blood urea nitrogen levels range between 5 to 20 mg/dL of a blood sample, states "Medical-Surgical Nursing." Depending on the results of the blood urea nitrogen and creatinine levels, the physician may ask the person diagnosed with diabetic nephropathy to eat less protein.

Then how to Help People with Diabetic Nephropathy Avoid Dialysis? The only way is to save kidneys themselves and control blood sugar well. If you still have any questions, you can send us an email to doctornickzhang@hotmail.com, or you can leave us a message. We will try our best to help you.

How to Reverse High BUN Levels

Healthy kidneys filter the BUN by-product out of your body through urine. High BUN levels generally indicate that your kidneys are not functioning properly or you may have underlying health problems related to your cardiovascular system. In some cases, high BUN levels are acute and easily resolved with dietary changes.

Step 1
Visit your physician and get an accurate diagnosis. A BUN test can be ordered as part of a comprehensive metabolic panel to determine levels and diagnose the underlying cause. To accurately treat high BUN levels your physician has to rule out or also treat additional health complications such as acute kidney failure, liver disease, hypertension or infections.

Step 2
Drink plenty of fluids daily to stay hydrated. Dehydration refers to inadequate water and electrolyte balance in your cells, which can cause high BUN levels. If you are taking diuretic medications, have persistent diarrhea, lose excess fluids through sweat or do not drink enough fluids throughout the day, you may become dehydrated. Severe dehydration warrants hospitalization and intravenous fluids. Mild dehydration can resolve by increasing your water intake. Consult your physician for exact amounts based on your health status.

Step 3
Eat a low-protein diet. If your kidneys are unable to filter protein properly, reduce your protein intake to lower your BUN levels. High-protein foods include red meat, poultry, fish and dairy. Beans, nuts and grains have moderate amounts of protein, and fruits generally have no protein. Consult your physician to discuss the amount of protein you need in your diet to lower BUN levels. The average daily protein intake for healthy adults ranges from 40 to 60 g, and you may need to reduce your intake by half.

Step 4
Cope with stress and manage your blood pressure. In some cases, high BUN levels occur from excess stress or acute high blood pressure. Get a blood pressure check and monitor it regularly. If you have persistently high blood pressure your physician may recommend medications to stabilize it. Excess worry and stress often contribute to blood pressure changes. Seek counseling or support, and engage in relaxation exercises to lower your stress level.

If your high BUN level is caused by kidney damage, some Chinese herbal medicines can help lower it by repairing kidney damage and recovering kidney function. If you are interested in the list of Chinese herbal medicines, you can leave us a message or send us an email to doctornickzhang@hotmail.com.

Something about Diet for Chronic Kidney Disease

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a general calling of all kinds of kidney disease and the disease decreased kidney function by months and years. In clinical, many kidney related diseases like Polycystic Kidney Disease, Diabetic Nephropathy and so on can be regarded as Chronic Kidney Disease. Chronic Kidney Disease is generally divided into five stages according to Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR). The following information is about the diet for Chronic Kidney Disease.

Low Salt.
Salt content of foods: MSG, soda, cracker, fine dried noodles, soy sauce, etc. Patients whose blood pressure is not stable or has severe edema, should avoid salt. In general, every patient takes salt less than 3 g every day.

Low Fat.
Note: It is forbidden to use animal oil while cooking. Take vegetable oil mainly, do not take in fatty food. It is better for the kidney disease patients to have corn oil contained unsaturated fatty acid.

High Vitamin.
Take more vegetable and every kind of vitamin such as pear, apple, cucumber, tomato, etc.

Low Potassium.
High potassium content of foods should be forbidden: all kinds of edible fungi, potato, Chinese yam, cabbage, date, bananas, oranges, white fungus, peach, apricot, spinach, rape, etc.

Low Phosphorus.
High phosphorus content of foods: marine food product and marine plant such as seaweed, laver, animal's bowels, sesame, tea, honey, yolk, etc.

High Quality Protein.
We can take proper amount of egg white, milk and fine lean meat, the amount of intake should be less than 100g. Don't take every kind of nuts, such as peanuts, melon seeds and walnuts.

Some patients are interested in TCM and Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). If you want to know more about Chronic Kidney Disease treatment or diet, you are welcomed to leave us a message or send us an email to doctornickzhang@hotmail.com.

Caffeine May Do Harm to Kidney Function

According to resent researches, caffeine is not for people with kidney disease. Caffeine is a bitter, white crystalline xanthine alkaloid that acts as a stimulant drug. Caffeine is found in varying quantities in the seeds, leaves, and fruit of some plants, where it acts as a natural pesticide that paralyzes and kills certain insects feeding on the plants

A caffeine intake equivalent to just two cups of coffee per day (250 mg) was associated with increased prevalence of moderate-to-severe kidney disease in an analysis of 3960 men who participated in a American studies on diet for patients with kidney disease. Although caffeine reduction is now part of recommended lifestyle interventions for women, few studies have explored the association between caffeine and kidney disease in men, say the doctors, who suggest that the effects of caffeine reduction in men with kidney disease should also be evaluated.

The US National Institutes of Health states "too much caffeine can make you restless, anxious, and irritable. It may also keep you from sleeping well and cause headaches, abnormal heart rhythms, or other problems. If you stop using caffeine, you could get withdrawal symptoms. Some people are more sensitive to the effects of caffeine than others. They should limit their use of caffeine. So should pregnant and nursing women."

So kidney disease patients had better not drink caffeine. If you want to know more about diet which kidney disease patients should not eat, you are welcomed to send us an email to doctornickzhang@hotmail.com or leave us a message.

Diet Suggestions for Dialysis Patients

Dialysis is an artificial way of doing some of the work of the kidneys, but it cannot replace the natural function of the kidneys. If you are on dialysis you need to carefully regulate your kidney diet.

Protein is an essential nutrient that enables the body to build muscles and repair itself. It also helps the body to fight infection. The main sources of protein in our diet are meat, fish, dairy products, eggs, and vegetables such as peas, beans, and lentils. Low levels of protein can lead to malnutrition, fluid retention and a reduction in the body's ability to fight infections. When protein is used by the body waste products are formed and enter the blood. One of these wastes is called urea. Normal healthy kidneys are good at getting rid of urea. Failing kidneys are not good at this, but kidney patients should still eat protein.

Foods that contain Sodium in large amounts can increase blood pressure and blood pressure as we know is one of the major causes of kidney disease and hence kidney failure in long rung. Research has proved that in kidney diseases strict blood pressure control is crucial. This means that if a person has a failing kidneys or his kidney are not working 100% he should be very careful about his Sodium intake and should be taking care to maintain his blood pressure. If a person is already a blood pressure patient than he may require more than one high blood pressure medicine. So a renal failure patient should use any proper medicine to control your blood pressure with the advice of your physician.These high sodium foods to avoid include Salt, All types of frozen meat.

Weight loss is a problem that causes particular concern in kidney failure. This is usually because patients are not eating enough protein and energy-providing food. Malnourished people lose weight and muscle mass. Malnutrition can develop with patients on either hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis. Dietitians monitor renal patients for any signs of malnutrition.

We can not list all of the information about dialysis diet, if you are interested in it a and you want to get the detailed information according to your own condition, you are welcomed to contact us by leave us a message or sending us an email to doctornickzhang@hotmail.com.

Something about Polycystic Kidney Disease Diet

Polycystic kidney disease (PKD or PCKD, also known as polycystic kidney syndrome) is a cystic genetic disorder of the kidneys. There are two types of PKD: autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) and the less-common autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD). The following information is about the Polycystic Kidney Disease diet.

1. PKD patients should take foods in a balance amount, not too much or too little. As for PKD patients, they can have less food at one time but more times in one day to keep energetic and nutritious.
2.Polluted foods which can cause gastrointestinal diseases or even poisoning symptoms should be forbidden.
3.More fruit and vegetables with rich vitamins are suggested especially those that have the functions of dissolving stones and diuresis. Alkaline foods should also be eaten more.
4.PKD patients should have more water (4000ml) and the urine output should be maintained at about 2000-2500ml.
5.PKD patients should have a diet with low salt, low fat and low protein. They should avoid beef and mutton, animal innards as well as spicy and excitant foods. Uncooked and cold foods which may injure spleen and stomach should be limited in a certain amount which should depend on patients' specific illness and physical conditions.
6.PKD patients should avoid alcohol, tobacco, strong tea and foods and drinks containing caffeine.

If you still want to know more about Polycystic Kidney Disease diet, you can send your need to kidney-support@hotmail.com. But experts do believe that the most important thing for PKD patients is to be treated with Natural Treatment for PKD and Cyst Rupture.

Know More about Diet for High Creatinine Level

Creatinine is one of the chemical wastes, a byproduct of creatine (a substance that provides energy to body cells and muscles). It is produced during digestion of foods and muscle activity following which the creatine break-down results in formation of creatinine.

Healthy kidneys work to filter creatinine from blood (along with other waster products from your body) and this creatinine passes out of the body through urination. A healthy creatinine level is an indication that yours kidneys are functioning normally. Normal creatinine levels differ from person to person.
When your kidneys aren't working properly, they have problems removing excess fluid from your body. Your doctor may limit your fluid intake to prevent high blood pressure, swelling and shortness of breath. Remember to include soup, ice, ice cream, sherbet and gelatin in your fluid intake.

Your body uses protein to build and repair tissues and muscles and to fight off infection. When protein is broken down, like any other food, it produces certain waste products. One of these is urea, which damaged kidneys have trouble filtering out of the bloodstream. Most renal diets require you to monitor and limit your protein intake. Your doctor, dietitian or nutritionist will tell you how much and what types of protein you can consume. You will probably be allowed certain amounts of complete proteins from animal sources (lean beef and chicken, for example) and certain amounts of incomplete proteins from plant sources (beans and lentils).

We need sodium, but most of us consume far more than we need. Avoid foods with added salt, including nuts, bacon, pickles, olives, sauerkraut and luncheon meats. Watch out for salt in processed products including canned soup, canned vegetables, sauce mixes and bouillon cubes. Carefully monitor the amount of sodium you consume. Controlling your salt intake may also make it easier for you to control your fluid intake.

How to Treat Hypertensive Nephropathy Effectively

Hypertensive Nephropathy is a disease of the kidneys.The vasculature of the kidneys is damaged with an increase in blood pressure. The following information is about Hypertensive Nephropathy treatment.

Control of hypertension is central to the management of both malignant and benign forms of the disease. This is achieved using antihypertension medication to essentially remove the stimulus for further kidney damage. The importance of antihypertension medication must be stressed to improve compliance to antihypertensive therapy. In the case of malignant nephrosclerosis, efforts to reduce blood pressure must be more aggressive as the renal damage is accelerated in this form of disease. Admission to hospital is the rule and intravenous drugs may be used to hasten the reduction of blood pressure and thereby quickly prevent any further renal damage from occurring. Aggressive reduction of blood pressure - Use of drugs such as frusemide, thiazide diuretics and hydralazine will rapidly reduce blood pressure and may save renal function if used early enough. In many cases, the patient may develop renal failure that required close observation with many blood tests. Of the acute renal failure cannot be controlled by conservative means, then dialysis may be required to enable eventual recovery from the disease.

For some cases, only these medicines used to control symptoms are not enough. If the kidney damage caused by high blood pressure can not be repaired, there still has a certain risk for Kidney Failure. If you find that your condition can not be controlled well and you want to avoid Kidney Failure and dialysis effectively, you can click Help Prevent Hypertensive Nephropathy from Developing Renal Failure to know more.

How to Make High Creatinine Levels Diet Reasonable

Creatinine is a metabolite of muscle breakdown, and depending on muscle mass, is produced at a constant rate by the body. It is produced from creatine, which is important for energy production in muscles. The kidneys are responsible for filtering creatinine out of the blood and excreting it in the urine. Thus, if your kidneys are malfunctioning, blood levels of creatinine will rise. With that said, measuring blood creatinine levels are a good surrogate for kidney function.

Typical levels of creatinine in the blood range from 0.6 to 1.2 mg/dl in adult males and 0.5 to 1.1 mg/dl in adult females. Muscular adults may have more creatinine in their blood as a function of muscle mass, while elderly people often have lower levels. Creatinine levels in excess of 10 mg/dl in adults may be indicative of kidney impairment.

The most common cause of increased creatinine levels is kidney impairment or any disease causing kidney impairment, including high blood pressure, diabetes, dehydration, shock, congestive heart failure or bladder outlet obstruction. Creatinine levels can become falsely elevated due to certain medications (including ibuprofin and some blood pressure drugs), after the ingestion of large amounts of dietary meat or creatine supplements and during strenuous exercise. Reducing your protein intake and increasing your fluid intake are two easy ways to lower your creatinine level. Furthermore, management of diabetes, high blood pressure and urinary tract health can also help lower your creatinine levels.

If your high creatinine level is caused by kidney damage and poor kidney function, then the most important thing for people with high creatinine level is to repair kidney damage and recover kidney function. Nowadays, Chinese herbal medicines are commonly used to help save patients own kidneys safety.

High Creatinine Levels: Symptoms And Treatment

In some cases the symptoms of high creatinine levels may not immediately be apparent or visible. Your body will respond to changing creatinine levels according to how much excess amounts of protein exists in your body. Compromised functioning of your kidneys (due to impairment or disease) can result in high creatinine levels and this can create several health problems.
But, signs of high creatinine in your blood or urine will not always result in serious kidney problems. It always helps to be aware and keep a watchful eye for any of these high creatinine signs and symptoms.

Symptoms and signs indicating high creatinine levels:

· Shortness of breath
· Fatigue
· Dehydration
· Decreased urine output
· Headache
· Mild Fever
· Loss of appetite
· Disorientation
· Mental confusion
· Edema (swelling in hands and legs)
· Lower-back pain

The causes of high creatinine level include diabetes and hypertension (in adults), kidney diseases, urinary tract obstruction and side effects of medications.

High creatinine symptoms are important indicators of existing excess levels of creatinine but they can also be a result of other health conditions.

Abnormal high creatinine levels can possibly have serious effects on your kidneys and that may lead to serious health condition such as kidney failure, because not enough creatinine is being excreted by the kidneys.

It is therefore important to keep a regular check on creatinine levels through medical blood and urine tests in order to prevent the occurrence of any kind of kidney diseases.

You must be eager to know How to Lower High Creatinine Levels by Yourself. Though diet is every important, experts say the most important thing for people with high creatinine level is to save their own kidneys through a real treatment. Once kidneys can work normally again, high creatinine levels will go back to the normal level.

Diet for High Creatinine Level-Protein

Generally speaking, people with high creatinine level are usually recommended a low-protein diet. Here we will help you know more about the diet for people with high creatinine level, and particular in protein.

There is no one particular kidney diet for patients with elevated creatinine. Individual dietary recommendations are based upon the patient's lab results, blood pressure, symptoms and other metrics. Making dietary changes has no preventative value if the change is not merited. Since patients with moderate kidney disease often have to heed to a restricted diet eventually, there is no sense in imposing restrictions that serve no purpose.

Advice regarding protein consumption may appear to be contradictory. The National Kidney Foundation recommends that patients with diabetic kidney disease, who are not on dialysis, limit protein intakes to the recommended daily intake of 0.8 g of protein per kg body weight. A slightly lower protein intake is recommended for non-diabetic kidney patients. These low-protein recommendations do not apply to patients who are on dialysis. Patients on dialysis need all the calories they can get. Moreover, they need additional protein to compensate for the amino acids that are dialyzed away. Always ask your nephrologist before changing your protein intake. Low-protein diets are not for everyone, and in many instances, they can be dangerous.

There is no a certain food people with kidney disease should avoid, which depends on patients’ specific condition. If you want to know more about high creatinine diet, you are welcomed to send us an email to kidney-support@hotmail.com.

Proper Diet for Nephrotic Syndrome in Children

Proper Diet for Nephrotic Syndrome in Children

Nephrotic syndrome is a condition where the filters of the kidneys are damaged, resulting in loss of protein in the urine. This disease can occur both in adults and children. In addition to accepting the conversational treatment, the patients should pay more attention to their diets in daily life.

For children, a low sodium diet and fluid restriction can help treat the symptoms associated with nephrotic syndrome. Here,we will give you some guidelines:
1. Limit grains and foods made from them. Anything containing gluten should be minimized, as a lot of people have allergy or sensitivity to it without realizing it.
2. No vegetable oils, margarines or spreads. These contain trans-fats, which cause inflammation. Butter, extra virgin olive oil and extra virgin coconut oil are your best options. All animal fats are good providing they have not been overheated to the extent that they become trans-fats.
3. No soy foods. Soy beans are the most ′pharmed′ foods on the planet, which makes them very toxic. Small amount of organic soy sauce is acceptable.
4. No table salt. Only use sea salt or Himalayan crystal salt.
5. No cold foods. Cold shocks the kidneys. All food/drinks should be consumed at no colder than room temperature.
6. No dairy, with the exception of unsweetened yoghourt and butter.

Well, the most important thing for parents is to find The Safe Nephrotic Syndrome in Children Treatment. Also if you want to know more about the diet for Nephrotic Syndrome in children, you can send us an email to kidney-support@hotmail.com.

What Foods And Herbs Can Lower My Creatinine Level

If serum creatinine levels are not normal, it is important to get the test repeated before panicking. Many factors such as dehydration can throw off an otherwise normal value.Many patients with elevated creatinine also have elevated potassium and phosphorus levels. Elevated potassium causes irregular heartbeats. Elevated phosphorus causes serious bone problems. low potassium and low phosphorus diets to prevent these problems. diet designed to lower creatinine levels also restricts fluid consumption. Eating less protein reduces the workload of the kidneys, while eating less sodium, phosphorus and potassium prevents these substances from building up in the bloodstream. Reducing fluid intake prevents fluid from building up in the bloodstream, which reduces blood pressure and prevents swelling.With a reduced workload, the kidneys do not have to work as hard to maintain normal fluid and electrolyte balances. Eating less protein reduces the amount of creatinine the body produces. Both of these things make it easier for the kidneys to filter creatinine out of the blood and reduce creatinine levels. Following this type of diet may also slow the progression of kidney disease.which foods to eat and which foods to limit.

Diet to Lower High Creatinine Level

Diet to Lower High Creatinine Level

Under normal cases, healthy kidneys help remove the waste products and various of toxins out of body, which keeps the creatinine level into the normal range. Once kidneys can not work normally, then high creatinine level will appear. And you must be eager to know the diet to lower high creatinine level.

Protein

Your body uses protein to build and repair tissues and muscles and to fight off infection. When protein is broken down, like any other food, it produces certain waste products. One of these is urea, which damaged kidneys have trouble filtering out of the bloodstream. Most renal diets require you to monitor and limit your protein intake. Your doctor, dietitian or nutritionist will tell you how much and what types of protein you can consume. You will probably be allowed certain amounts of complete proteins from animal sources (lean beef and chicken, for example) and certain amounts of incomplete proteins from plant sources (beans and lentils).

Phosphorus

Your body uses phosphorus and calcium to keep your bones strong and to keep your muscles and nerves working normally. Calcium and phosphorus must remain in balance. When you have kidney damage, your body has trouble maintaining this balance. You often end up with too little calcium and too much phosphorus. Your body then steals calcium from your bones to try to restore the proper balance, and your bones become weak and brittle. You may also experience pain in your bones and joints and itchy skin. Foods that are high in phosphorus include sardines, cola, nuts, cheese, liver, peanut butter and beer. You may also be asked to avoid eggs and dairy products.

Potassium

When your kidneys aren't working well, your potassium levels can become too high. This can be serious and even cause sudden heart failure. Potassium is found in many foods, and you must carefully monitor your potassium intake on a renal diet. You may be asked to limit or eliminate leafy green vegetables, broccoli, bananas, potatoes, oranges and apricots, all of which are high in potassium, and encouraged to choose lower potassium foods including cucumbers, carrots, lettuce, apples, cranberries, grapes and rice.

How to Help CKD Patients Lower High Creatinine Level

Creatinine is a waste product in the blood created by the normal metabolism of muscle cells. Healthy kidneys take creatinine out of the blood and remove it into the urine to leave the body. When the kidneys are not working well, creatinine builds up in the blood. For CKD patients, with the development of the condition, high creatinine level seems to be unavoidable. Then how to lower high creatinine level for CKD patients?

Low Protein Diet

Nitrogen in amino acids (proteins) is a cause of progression of CKD, hence less nitrogen (proteins) in diet is recommended. However, an uncontrolled protein restriction can lead to malnutrition which worsens patient's general condition and can even threaten survival, so it is advisable to take amino acid/ proteins without nitrogen.

Ketosteril

The use of ketosteril according to the prescription of your doctor will allow an appropriate intake of amino acids without a corresponding “nitrogen load”
Ketosteril are the nitrogen-free analogues of essential amino acids. Amino acids are the building blocks of all proteins. Treatment with Ketosteril  together with protein-restricted diets is referred as Keto Acid Therapy.
How Ketosteril act inside the body?

Ketosteril capture the nitrogen within the body and convert themselves into amino acids. Malnutrition is thus prevented and the workload of the kidney to excrete nitrogen-containing waste products is reduced. Thus the progress of CKD slows down and dialysis can be postponed.

Can Acupuncture Deal with Sexual Dysfunction for Kidney Failure Patients

Some Kidney Failure patients will be affected by sexual dysfunction, which troubles them a lot. Then whether acupuncture can help them deal with this problem?

The inability of a man to maintain an erection or of a woman to achieve orgasm are both considered to be due to weaknesses of the Kidney and Liver Networks: the Kidney Network governs the reproductive organs and fertility; and the sexual arousal (physically and mentally) necessary to achieve adequate penetration, ejaculation, and orgasm is regulated by the Liver Network. Sexual desire is a fundamental life impulse and the natural expression of a person's urge to connect intimately with another as well as to procreate. Since the Kidney Network is considered to be the source of bodily life, a diminution or loss of that urge is seen as a deficiency of the Kidney Qi, which is called Essence.Acupuncture and special Chinese herbal formulas are very effective at reviving sexual desire and restoring sexual function and the fertility that goes with it.

In addition to sexual dysfunction, acupuncture can also help Kidney Failure patients deal with other symptoms like headache, nausea, vomiting, infection, fatigue and so on. Click here Can Acupuncture Cure Kidney Failure to know more.

Stage 4 Kidney Disease Diet: What Should You Know

As the name would suggest, this is the 4th stage of kidney damage. In case you don’t know, there are 5 different stages of kidney disease, with 5 being the highest. Here is something about stage 4 kidney disease diet you should know.

These 3 micronutrients play a major role in maintaining different bodily functions. However, when experiencing advanced renal issues, it is advisable that you reduce your uptake of these 3. Sodium is known to increase blood pressure, putting further strain to your kidneys. Meanwhile, an imbalance in potassium consumption can lead to muscle weakness and irregular heartbeat. Depending on the prevailing potassium content of your body, it can either be increased or decreased. As for phosphorous, one of the elements excreted by the kidney thru urine, a high buildup of this element in your blood can cause bone weakness. These 3 must be regulated at all costs when encountering stage 4 or higher chronic renal disease.

Protein is one of the macronutrients and is a crucial component in both the structural and functional features of the human body. However, when having kidney problems, the uptake of proteins must strictly be regulated. This is because the metabolic byproducts of protein include urea and uric acid. These components are filtered out by the kidneys. However, during stage 4 kidney disease, this function is compromised, and it can even lead to blood poisoning due to excess urea. Because of this, it’s very important to regulate protein consumption when developing a CKD-friendly diet.

While the most important thing is to prevent stage 4 kidney disease developing in ESRD.
