How to Improve Renal Function with CKD

When renal function is impaired, the toxic substances, metabolites, wastes are deposited in human body. Chronic kidney disease is a progressive loss in kidney function over a period of months or years. How to improve renal function is the fundamental problem to cure kidney disease.

Though western medicines have fast medical effect, they can’t cure root of disease. Patients would have antibiotic resistance if they take drugs for a long time. In contrast, Chinese medicines work on root of disease with less relapse. They can recover renal function and resolve patients’ misery thoroughly. What’s more, they cure disease in a natural and healthy way without irritation or side effect. So , they are popular in the world.

Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital which is a professional hospital in treating kidney disease uses character of Chinese herbal medicines to research kidney disease. According to our concept, we formed our characteristic therapies.

Take an example. Chinese Medicine Bath. The Chinese medicines is decocted into decoction and added some water, patients can steep into it which has appropriate temperature by heating the decoction. The purpose of this purpose is dredging meridian and eliminating toxic substances by seepaging sweat and urinating. The biggest viscera of human body is skin, Medicated Bath can change internal environment by effect exchange of skin and medicines. Chinese medicines have the function of promoting circulation and removing stasis to improve effective blood oxygen supplying for organism.

Treatment for Swelling of Body with CKD

Swelling which is caused by toxic substances, metabolites, wastes are deposited in human body is the most common symptom of CKD.

Usually, the western medicines whose medical effect can be seen in a short time are the common treatment if the illness is not serious. But western medicines which just for symptoms relieving can’t cure root of disease.

While, Chinese medicines which are applied into treatment widely focus on root of disease. They are proved that they cure disease in a natural and healthy way without irritation or side effect for human body. Many foreign patients come to China to look for Chinese therapies in order to cure disease thoroughly.

Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital which is a professional hospital in treating kidney disease have researched kidney disease and Chinese herbal medicines for many years. According to our concept, we formed our characteristic therapies.
Take some examples. The characteristic of acupuncture in our hospital is using acupuncture with Chinese medicine. There are some modes to do this therapy:
 doctors modulate Chinese medicine according to illness condition and put these Chinese medicines in needle, the medicine molecules can run into human body by acupuncture; when the needle prick into skin, the rest of needle which is exposed to air is heated by professional machine which contains Chinese medicines.

Traditional Chinese Medicine Foot Bath. It’s one of supporting therapies in our hospital, we try our best to confect various of Chinese herbal medicines. It’s not only wash feet, it can help patients to improve blood pressure and sleeping quality. It improves viscera especially renal function by effective irritation to corresponding acupoint on the foot.


Because these therapies only in our therapies, if you want to try authentic therapies, you should come to our hospital first. Welcome to consult our doctors or you can send email: kidneyhospitalabroad@hotmail.com.

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.

Why CKD Patients Have Pale Face After the Dialysis

Some CKD patients always suffer from the pale face after the dialysis. They want to know why. So read the following article and you can get some useful information about your question.

If you are a Dialysis patient or permanently disabled then you may be eligible for Total and Permanent Discharge. Also referred to as TPD, the program relieves Dialysis patients from having to, "pay a William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan (Direct Loan), Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL), and/or Federal Perkins Loan (Perkins Loan) or having to complete a TEACH Grant service obligation on the basis of your total and permanent disability," said Disabilitydischarge.com.
Best Cities For Chronic Kidney Disease Patients On Dialysis To Improve Quality Of Life And Longevity

In order to prove total and permanent disability, Chronic Kidney Disease patients on Dialysis will be expected to provide (1) Social Security Administration (SSA) notice of award for Social Security Disability Insurance or Supplemental Security Income benefits stating that your next scheduled disability review will be within 5 to 7 years from the date of your most recent SSA disability determination. Also, (2) patients can submit certification from a physician that you are totally and permanently disabled.

Chronic Kidney Disease patients who conduct Dialysis probably think on face value that this is a long and tedious process. However, that does not appear to be the case. After contacting the US Department of Education - Federal Student Aid (complete below form for direct contact information), the department will provide application information necessary for patient consideration. They will also contact Loan Holders to instruct them to suspend collection activity for 120 days in order to complete the application process. Once all paperwork has been provided, the Department of Education will then evaluate and "either approve or deny your TPD discharge request," suggested Nelnet, Inc. a Student Loan Servicer.


A good news to tell you, there are a lot of natural treatments can deal with the ckd patients have pale face after the dialysis. such as the micro-chinese medicine osmotehrapy, if you want to know them, you are supposed to send emails to kidneyhospitalabroad@hotmail.com, or add my whatapp +86 13383015760.

Is It Necessary to Have Dialysis for CKD Patients with creatinine 4

The patients who have the CKD know that the creatinine is a directly reaction of the kidney function. most of them are interested in is it necessary for them to do the dialysis if their creatinine is 4.

Patients usually require dialysis when the waste products in their body become so high that they start to become sick from them. The level of the waste products usually builds up slowly. Doctors measure several blood chemical levels to help decide when dialysis is necessary. The two major blood chemical levels that are measured are the "creatinine level" and the "blood urea nitrogen" (BUN) level. As these two levels rise, they are indicators of the decreasing ability of the kidneys to cleanse the body of waste products.

Doctors use a urine test, the "creatinine clearance," to measure the level of kidney function. The patient saves urine in a special container for one full day. The waste products in the urine and in the blood are estimated by measuring the creatinine. By comparing the blood and urine level of this substance, the doctor has an accurate idea of how well the kidneys are working. This result is called the creatinine clearance. Usually, when the creatinine clearance falls to 10-12 cc/minute, the patient needs dialysis.

The doctor uses other indicators of the patient's status to decide about the need for dialysis. If the patient is experiencing a major inability to rid the body of excess water, or is complaining of problems with the heart, lungs, or stomach, or difficulties with taste or sensation in their legs, dialysis may be indicated even though the creatinine clearance has not fallen to the 10-12 cc/minute level.


I want to tell you, the dialysis is not the only option to you. Beside the dialysis, there are still various kinds of the treatments can deal with the CKD with creatinine 4, for example the Chinese medial therapy. if you want to know them clearly, you can send emails to kidneyhospitalabroad@hotmail.com, or add my wahtsapp +86 13383015760.

How Do the CKD Patients Remove Protein From Urine Naturally

I believe that, almost all the CKD patients know that the protein in the urine is a reaction of the kidney disease. so it is necessary for them to find a natural therapy to remove the protein from the urine.
When protein is ingested, protein waste products are created. Healthy kidneys have millions of nephrons that filter this waste. It’s then removed from the body in the urine.

Unhealthy kidneys lose the ability to remove protein waste and it starts to build up in the blood. Dietary protein intake for patients with CKD is based on the stage of kidney disease, nutrition status and body size. Counseling sessions with a registered dietitian are recommended for planning and monitoring a low- or high-protein diet.

The five stages of CKD are defined by the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), a measure of how well your kidneys are functioning.
In stage 1 of CKD, GFR is 90 or above, which is normal. However, abnormal levels of protein are detected in the urine. In stage 2, GFR is 60-89. In stage 3, GFR to 30-59. In stage 4, GFR is severely decreased to 15-29.

Stage 5, the last stage of kidney disease known as end stage renal disease or ESRD, occurs when GFR drops below 15 and the kidneys have little function left.
Although stage 4 indicates a severe decrease in kidney function, you’re still able to live without dialysis. Because there’s no cure for kidney disease, the primary focus is keeping you nourished and reducing protein waste build up. Excess protein waste can cause nausea, loss of appetite, vomiting, weakness, taste changes and itching.

If you’re in stages 1, 2, or 3, your protein intake may be limited to 12 to15 percent of your calorie intake each day. This is the same level recommended by the Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) for a healthy diet for normal adults. If you’re in stage 4 of CKD, your dietitian may advise you to reduce protein to 10 percent of daily calorie intake.

There are a lot of natural therapies can help the CKD patients remove the protein in the urine. If you want to know clearly them, you can add my whatsapp +86 13383015760 or send emails to kidneyhospitalabroad@hotmail.com.

Do the CKD Patients Need to Do the Dialysis at Creatinine 7

Some CKD patients always have a high cretainien, and they want to know if the creatinine 7 need to do the dialysis. the following information may can help you a lot.
What Is Kidney Dialysis?
Kidney dialysis is a life-support treatment that uses a special machine to filter harmful wastes, salt, and excess fluid from your blood. This restores the blood to a normal, healthy balance. Dialysis replaces many of the kidney's important functions.
There are different types of kidney dialysis, including:
· Hemodialysis. Blood is filtered using a dialyzer and dialysis machine.
· Peritoneal dialysis. Blood is filtered inside the body after theabdomen is filled with a special cleaning solution.
There is not an exact answer to this question. Because every patient has deferent conditions. In some times, if the CKD patients with the cretnine 7 and at the same time, they also appear serious symptoms, such as the high blood pressure, vomiting, blood urine and so on. They need to do the dialysis to relieve the symptoms. However, if the CKD patients have not some serious symptoms, they and find a natural therapy to alternate the dialysis.
Peritoneal dialysis cleans the blood using the lining of your abdominal area as a filter. This method allows your blood to be cleaned while yousleep, while you work, or while you perform your everyday activities.
Before your first peritoneal dialysis session, you will need surgery so that your doctor can create access into your abdominal area. The surgeon will make a small surgical cut, most often to the side of your belly button. A plastic tube called a catheter is inserted through this access into the area surrounding thestomach and nearby organs. This is called the peritoneal cavity.

When it is time for dialysis treatment, you will place a cleaning solution called dialysate into the catheter. Your health care team will show you how.

diabetic nephropathy and CKD in a diabetic

Diabetic nephropathy is the leading cause of chronic renal failure in the United States and other Western societies. Diabetic nephropathy may be diffuse or nodular (Kimmelstiel-Wilson lesion). The early stages cause an elevated glomerular filtration rate with enlarged kidneys, but the principal feature of diabetic nephropathy is proteinuria.

The severity of diabetic glomerulopathy is estimated by the thickness of the peripheral basement membrane and mesangium and matrix expressed as a fraction of appropriate spaces (eg, volume fraction of mesangium/glomerulus, matrix/mesangium, or matrix/glomerulus).
Three major histologic changes occur in the glomeruli of persons with diabetic nephropathy. First, mesangial expansion is directly induced by hyperglycemia, perhaps via increased matrix production or glycosylation of matrix proteins. Second, GBM thickening occurs. Third, glomerular sclerosis is caused by intraglomerular hypertension (induced by renal vasodilatation or from ischemic injury induced by hyaline narrowing of the vessels supplying the glomeruli). These different histologic patterns appear to have similar prognostic significance.

Kidney damage in type 1 diabetes is the largest cause of chronic kidney disease in the working age group.

Kidney disease in people with type 2 diabetes is increasing because of the increasing prevalence of people with diabetes, improved cardiovascular survival and the trend to younger onset of type 2 diabetes.

The prevalence of microalbuminuria in patients with type 1 diabetes at 30 years' disease duration is approximately 40%.

The prevalence of microalbuminuria in patients with type 2 diabetes at 10 years' disease duration is approximately 20-25%.

Stages of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)

In the first stage, the GFR is equal to or greater than 90 mL/min, which is same as that of a healthy kidney. There are almost no symptoms and hence, diagnosing the condition is difficult. But it is generally recommended for patients suffering from diabetes, to undergo tests, which can give details of the amount of creatinine or urea in the blood. An increased amount of creatinine in the blood or proteins in the urine is a clear indication that a person is suffering from chronic kidney disease. Other methods used to understand the state of a person's kidney are MRI, ultrasound, X-ray and CT scan. If the problem is diagnosed at this stage, the treatment becomes relatively simpler and medication can be used to stop, retard or reverse the CKD.

The symptoms in this stage are not identifiable, just as in the first stage. The GFR lies between 60 and 89mL/min. The diagnosis can again, be done through X-ray, MRI, ultrasound and CT-scan. Kidney dialysis is generally not required if a person is detected with kidney disease at the second stage.

This is the stage where the symptoms start showing. The GFR falls somewhere in between 30 to 59 mL/min. The patient shows symptoms of fatigue and breath shortage. Liquids start accumulating in different parts of the body and this is visible due to the swelling of the hands and legs. Urine color of the person also shows identifiable changes. It changes to dark orange, red or brown. A person, if diagnosed at the third stage, is referred to a nephrologist, who performs various lab tests to understand the root cause of the problem and suggests the type of treatment. A person in this stage, should also consult a dietitian who would recommend a diet that best suits his condition. If a patient is suffering from polycystic kidney disease, he may experience pain at the back of his body, around the area where the kidneys are located.

With the GFR falling further, the patient starts showing additional symptoms. With increase in urea content in the patient's blood, he normally develops a bad breath. Nausea and loss of appetite are the common symptoms of a patient going through the fourth stage of CKD. There are a variety of nerve problems and he loses his capability to concentrate. The GFR in the fourth stage, is between 15 to 29 mL/min. Hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis are the common treatments at this stage. A kidney transplant is also recommended by many nephrologists, if the GFR is very close to 15 mL/min.

Eat a Healthy Diet for CKD

We literally are what we eat—we build our cells out of our food. So, if you eat mostly fast food and drink sugary sodas, you may be able to improve your kidney health by eating better foods. Studies have found that eating more fresh vegetables, fruit*, and low fat dairy and less saturated fat, starches, and sweets may help slow CKD.

Some doctors believe a diet lower in some proteins can help slow kidney disease. Ask your doctor to refer you to a dietitian who specializes in treating those with chronic kidney disease. A dietitian can help you learn how to keep your kidneys healthy longer by eating the right foods. Don't limit your protein until you have talked about it with your doctor or dietitian.

Control Your Blood Sugar Levels

If you have diabetes, stay at a healthy weight, exercise, and take medications as prescribed to keep your blood glucose in the "normal" range. Tight control of blood sugar can help slow the progression of kidney disease. Your HbA1c levels, which measure your blood sugar control over a period of 3 months, should be less than 6.5%.

Quit Smoking

In people with CKD, smoking is linked to an increase in the amount of protein spilled in the urine. In smokers with diabetes, CKD may progress twice as fast. Scientists are not sure why this is the case, but if you have kidney disease and you smoke, quitting may help slow down the damage.

Avoid Certain Pain Medications

Some over-the-counter pain pills containing ibuprofen or naproxen, and even acetaminophen (e.g., Motrin®, Advil®, Aleve®, Tylenol®) can affect kidney function. This is especially true if you have kidney, heart, or liver disease or you take diuretics (water pills). Avoid using combinations of these pain pills and caffeine—both at once can further damage your kidneys.

Exercise

With your doctor's okay, start an exercise program to control weight and keep your heart and blood vessels healthy and your muscles and joints in good working order. Although written for people on dialysis, Exercise: A Guide for People on Dialysis has useful information to help anyone with a chronic illness get more exercise.

Phosphorus Pyramid for CKD Provides Diet Advice

It's a Cyclical Ketogenic Diet, or CKD for short. CKD basically means that you cycle periods of low carb, high protein, and high fat with periods of high carb, high protein, and low fat. If your potassium becomes too high, it can cause an irregular heartbeat or a heart attack. The majority of time you will be consuming a low carb diet, with a period set aside each week for carbing-up. This isn't for the fun of it; there are real scientific reasons for this, reasons with exciting implications for the bodybuilder.

“The phosphorus pyramid herein proposed is an original, visual, user-friendly tool for nutritional education. It can support patients and caregivers in making the right food choices by encouraging adherence to dietary prescriptions, which is a crucial component for CKD-MBD,” Adamasco Cupisti, MD, of the University of Pisa in Italy, and colleagues wrote in BMC Nephrology (2015;16:9).

Phosphorus is a concern at all stages of CKD, the researchers noted. The pyramid can help both CKD and dialysis patients understand what to eat and what to avoid, with appropriate tailoring. Here are some basic nutrition strategies:

In non-dialysis patients, consider restricting protein intake. (Those on dialysis require extra protein.) In a mixed diet, each gram of protein is usually accompanied by 12–14 mg of phosphorus.

Shift from phosphorus-rich foods to low phosphorus foods. Take into consideration bioavailability. Plant foods contain phosphorus but less than half of the mineral content is absorbed by the body. The phosphoric acid in soft drinks, by comparison, is almost completely absorbed.

Boil foods to reduce their mineral content, including phosphorus (then discard the water). According to one study, boiling reduces phosphorus by 51% for vegetables, 48% for legumes, and 38% for meats.

Try to identify and avoid phosphate additives. Processed foods contain considerable amounts of added phosphorus, including from preservatives.

The Phosphorus Pyramid

The food pyramid color codes food items similar to a traffic light: greens for go, yellows for slow, and reds for stop.

It consists of 6 levels with foods arranged by their phosphorus content, phosphorus to protein ratio (no more than 12 mg/g is favorable) and phosphorus bioavailability. Here's an overview of each level from 1 (low phosphorus) to 6 (high phosphorus):

Green: Foods with a very low phosphorus content include protein-free foods, fruit, vegetables, egg white, olive oil, and sugar. These items are not limited, unless a patient is overweight, diabetic, or receiving dialysis.

Light green: Foods with phytate, a less absorbable form of phosphorus, include cereal, rice, pasta, white bread, and legumes. 2–3 servings per day.

Yellow: Among meats, choose lamb, rabbit, ham, or fish (e.g., trout, tuna, cod, hake, and sole). Avoid farmed fish because it has been fed with phosphorus to promote growth. Also choose milk and yogurt. No more than 1 serving per day.

Orange: Foods with a higher phosphorus to protein ratio include turkey, offal, shrimp, squid, salmon, and soft cheeses. No more than 1 serving per week.

Orange-Red: Foods with a very high phosphorus content include nuts, egg yolk, and hard cheeses. No more than 2-3 servings per month.

Red: Processed foods with phosphorus-containing additives include colas, processed meat, and processed cheese. Avoid as much as possible.

Swelling on stomach in CKD: causes and treatment

So many patients with CKD always complain that there is swelling on stomach, which is one of the symptoms of Chronic Kidney Disease. And it is very necessary for CKD patients to know the causes and treatment about swelling on stomach.

Causes

1 The kidney tiny filters, glomeruli, are damaged, while kidney tubules can still work very well. The decreased kidney filtration function and good reabsorption function can lead to water and sodium retention, companying with increased permeability of small blood vessels throughout the body. Then, swelling or edema occurs easily.

2 In some cases, a lot of protein leaks from the body into the urine and forms proteinuria. Heavy protein leakage can cause low plasma protein level and then swelling. Another cause, anemia, is not as common as the above two factors. People with stage 4 CKD may be tested out decreased blood cell count and low hemoglobin that are symptoms of anemia.

Treatment

Micro-Chinese Medical Osmotherapy, an original creation of our hospital, which is making the Chinese medical herbs into tiny powder and put them into two bags. Then we apply the Chinese medical bags on the patient’s skin which is corresponding to the kidney part. With the professional equipment’s help, the active composition penetrate into the kidney part.
The main functions of this therapy are promoting the blood circulations and eliminating the composition of the cysts. Because of cysts cover on the kidney, the kidney can’t absorb the nutrient substance that the body needed and can’t discharge waste normally. When our Chinese medical powder penetrates into the damaged kidney, the kidney cells will be recovered a lot and the kidney vessels will be improved. As well as, the composition of cysts will be absorbed. So the kidney function will be improved gradually.


If you want to know more information about swelling on stomach of CKD, you can contact our online doctors, who will answer all your questions. You also can send massages to kidneyhospitalabroad@hotmail.com.

Frequent urination especially at night in CKD: Causes and Treatment

Some patients with CKD always have the frequent urination especially at night which impact the patient’s sleep quality. Imagining that, one or two of hours you will do to the wash room, how painful it is. I believe that the patients with frequent urination must want to get rid of it and want to live a better life at the same time. Do you know how the frequent urination was caused? If your answer is “no”, then you are supposed to pay more attention to the flowing information.

Causes

1 declining of kidney function

We all know that the kidney is an eminent organ of our body, which can keep the useful substance and discharged the waste out of our body. When the patients have chronic kidney disease, the kidney function of them will declining a lot. As a result, the kidney will discharge excessive substance through urine. And the kidney have to work harder at night, so there will be a frequent urination at night.

2 the damaged of glomerular

The onset of urine involves two processes, namely glomerular filtration function and tubular reabsorption. In right condition, about 99% initial urine can be reabsorbed, however, the declined tubular reabsorption can be another cause of this abnormal sign.

Treatment

1 Medical Bath

It is easily to understand, the main process of medical bath is that, we boil the Chinese medicine into soup, them we mix them with hot water. When the temperature is comfortable the patients are supposed to soak in the hot water. From a long time soaking, the patients will swear a lot, as a result, the waste including ureophil, potassium, phosphorus blood poison will get out of the body with the swear. What’s more? The Chinese medicine will penetrate into your whole body though your pore, which can repair your damaged cells and vessel and improve your blood circulation. So several times after your soaking the medical bath, your kidney function will be improved.

2 Chinese medical circle therapies

Chinese medical circle therapy is another good therapy to treat chronic kidney disease in our hospital. We make the Chinese herbs into powder and compound them to be unguent. We know there are numerous of acupoints in our body and each has different function. So we rely on the acupoints and cover the Chinese unguent on different of them. With the blood circulation of our body the Chinese medicine can penetrate the damaged kidney part and repair the vessel and cells of your kidney. Then the permeability of your body will be improved.


Do you want to get rid of the frequent urination and CKD, if the answer is “yes”, and if you want to know more information about CKD you can communicate with our experienced doctors. And you also can send messages to kidneyhospitalabroad@hotmail.com. we hope you will live a better life.

Gout Prevalent in German CKD Cohort

Gout is fairly common among chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients, a recent analysis of the German Chronic Kidney Disease study suggests.
Investigators evaluated data from more than 5,000 CKD patients and identified gout in 24.3%, according to results published in Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation. As kidney function decreased, gout prevalence increased, from 16% among patients with eGFR above 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 (with proteinuria) to 36% among those with eGFR below 30.

Roughly a third of patients with gout were not taking any medication for treatment at the time of the analysis. In addition, half of gout patients on urate-lowering therapy still showed signs of hyperuricemia. “Pharmacological management of gout in patients with CKD is suboptimal,” the investigators suggested.

The following factors were linked with gout: serum urate, lower eGFR, older age, male sex, higher BMI and waist-to-hip ratio, higher triglyceride and C-reactive protein (CRP) concentrations, alcohol intake, and diuretics use.

The researchers hope to assess whether gout and hyperuricemia increase the risk of CKD progression and cardiovascular events with future follow-up of this cohort.

Lower CKD Risk Among Fit Veterans

As aerobic fitness increases, the risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD) progressively decreases suggesting a protective role for exercise, according to a new study of male veterans.

“The findings of the present study demonstrate that health benefits associated with higher exercise capacity also extend to lowering the risk of developing CKD,” stated Peter Kokkinos, PhD, of Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Washington DC, and colleagues.

The investigators prospectively assessed peak exercise capacity for 5,812 male veterans at the center using a standard treadmill test. The men were referred for exercise testing for clinical reasons.

All participants were free of CKD stage 3 and above at baseline with an estimated glomerular filtration rate of 60 mL/min per 1.73 m2 or higher. CKD developed in 1,010 men (17%) during follow-up.

According to results published in Mayo Clinic Proceedings, the risk of CKD declined by 22% with every 1 metabolic equivalent (MET) increase in exercise capacity. Compared to the least fit individuals, the odds of CKD were 13%, 45%, and 58% lower in the low-, moderately-, and high-fit groups, respectively.

Researchers adjusted the fitness groupings for age. They also adjusted their models for CKD predictors, such as race, diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, alcoholism, glucose-lowering medication, and lipid-lowering medication.

Men with lower GFR may be deficient in vascular density and recruitment, the researchers suggested.  Also, a significant number of the veterans had a high body mass index and diabetes. Insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, and hypertension may contribute to vascular stiffness and systemic inflammation, setting the stage for CKD.

By contrast, physically active men have greater capillary recruitment during exercise, which likely corresponds to a greater renal reserve and a lower likelihood of CKD.

Starting an aerobic exercise routine is reasonable for many men with their doctors' permission, the investigators noted: “The average exercise capacity of approximately more than 6.5 METs necessary to realize these health benefits is achievable by many middle-aged and older men by daily exercises, such as brisk walking.”

How to Reverse 30% Kidney Function in Chronic Kidney Disease

For those people who suffering from chronic kidney disease is very painful. When the CKD patients’ kidney function is declining to 30%, that means the chronic kidney disease is developing to stage 3or 4. In this time, you should pay more attention to your kidney conditions and take effective therapies timely.

Do you know what kinds of symptoms would appear when your kidney functions only remaining 30%? Now I will discuss the symptoms with you. When you suffer the chronic kidney disease, there must lot of foam in your urine, which means the protein beginning to leak out from your body. Secondly, there may be swelling around your eyes , because with the declining of your kidney function ,a lot of water can not discharged out of body , which will resulting swelling not only around your eyes even in your whole body.

I am sure you are so worry about your conditions, but don’t be panic. There are so many effective therapies in our hospital can improve your kidney function.

1 Medical Bath

It is easily to understand, the main process of medical bath is that, we boil the Chinese medicine into soup, them we mix them with hot water. When the temperature is comfortable the patients are supposed to soak in the hot water.

Screen for CKD Among People of Low Socioeconomic Status

In many CKD patients, previous renal disease or other underlying diseases are already known. Screening those who have neither symptoms nor risk factors for CKD is not recommended. The prognosis of patients with chronic kidney disease is guarded as epidemiological data have shown that all cause mortality increases as kidney function decreases.

Screening people of low socioeconomic status for chronic kidney disease (CKD) may prove more valuable than screening seniors, according to Dutch researchers. The study found that people of low socioeconomic status are at higher risk of CKD and its complications, including kidney decline and cardiovascular events, compared to adults older than age 60. For the study, the investigators compared 3 screening approaches in 3,411 individuals:

Traditional CKD screening of people with diabetes, high blood pressure, or a history of cardiovascular disease

Traditional screening with the addition of seniors

Traditional screening with the addition of people of low socioeconomic status (i.e., only a primary school education)

Participants underwent 4 rounds of screening over more than 9 years. The numbers of individuals needed to screen to detect one CKD case were 5.6 in Approach 1 and 6.5 each in Approach 2 and 3. In Approach 2 (seniors), the odds of cardiovascular events were 87 to 92% higher among persons with CKD compared to those without the disease. The odds were more striking in Approach 3 (low income individuals), however: 128 to 231%.

The rate of renal function decline was also faster among low-income individuals than among seniors.Our email is kidneyhospitalabroad@hotmail.com.

CKD is a Gout Risk Factor

Chronic kidney disease is identified by a blood test for creatinine. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) appears to be an independent risk factor for gout, according to American researchers.  Stage 5 CKD is often called end stage renal disease, end stage renal failure, or end-stage kidney disease, and is synonymous with the now outdated terms chronic kidney failure or chronic renal failure.

For the study, investigators observed the development of gout among participants in the Framingham Heart Study 1948-2002.

Using Cox proportional hazard models, the researchers estimated the odds of CKD leading to gout among men and women separately. They adjusted results for other risk factors, including age, alcohol consumption, smoking history, hypertension, diabetes, and body mass index.

According to results published in BMJ Open, the incidence of gout among CKD patients was 6.82 per 1,000 persons per year compared to 2.43 for those without the disease. In multivariable models, CKD was associated with double the odds of gout among men and women.

The study adds to the growing body of epidemiological research supporting the hypothesis that CKD is a risk factor for future gout.

How to Lower Creatinine 6.0 in CKD

Do you know what it means if the creatinine of Chronic Kidney Disease patients growing up to 6.0? Creatinine 6.0 means the condition has already developed in stage 4, it is very important for stage 4 CKD patients to receive the effective therapies and low their creatinine. If patients with creatinine 6.0 do not take treatment timely, the creatinine level will goes up and people will suffer more and more complications and symptoms. There are some suggestions which I hope will help you.

Suggestions

1 Appropriate Protein Intake

When the creatinine of CKD patients grows up to 6.0, the metabolic function will be declined. The kidney can’t absorb the protein normally. Therefore, high protein intake will burden the kidneys, and excessive creatinine will accumulate. While, it does not mean you cannot take protein at all. Taking high-quality protein 0.6-0.8g or per kilogram of the body weight is allowed.

2 Dialysis

The CKD patients with high creatinine will suffer a lot of complications, which are very painful. If you want to remit the complications and low the creatinine, the dialysis is a fast way to be choose. When you have the dialysis, your blood travels through tubes into the dialyzer. The dialyzer filters out wastes and extra fluids, including potassium, phosphorus, ureophil and creaminine. Then the newly cleaned blood flows through another set of tubes and back into your body. Though which can remit your complications a lot, and you can fell well quickly. But once you have the dialysis, you will rely much on it

3 Chinese medical therapies

We know that, the western medicine all have the side effective, so some Kinney patients are worry about it very much. There are some Chinese medical therapies in our hospital, which have not any side effective. One of them is Micro-Chinese Medical Osmotherapy, which is based on Chinese medical and the professional equipments. The Chinese medical herbs are made into powder and are putted into small bags. We put the bags on the skin of the damaged kidney parts. Then with the help of our professional equipments, the active composition is penetrated into the damaged kidney through the skin. If you insist a long time, the vassals of your kidney will be repaired and the blood circulation will be improved; besides the creaminine potassium, phosphorus and ureophil will be discharged out of body gradually. At last, the kidney function will be improved a lot, and the CKD patients also can have a long life.


Don’t be panic, if your creaminine raise to 6.0, there are also methods to decline the creaminine.

Is dialysis a best choice for stage 4 CKD patients?

As we all know, it is very serious for stage 4 Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), which means the kidney function of patient is damaged fearfully. So the CKD patients of stage 4 always receive the dialysis, in case of the condition of CKD developing to stage 5. However, is it a good choice for CKD patients of stage 4 to do the dialysis?

Every coin has two faces, the dialysis is without exception. There are both advantages and disadvantages for CKD patients of stage 4 to do the dialysis.

Advantages

1 Remitting Kidney Failure Timely

When the CKD patients is developing to stage 4, the Kinney function of patients is declining seriously, as a result , so many poison and waste are detained in the blood. If don’t have effective treatment timely, it is probably to develop the kidney failure. So at this time, it is necessary for CKD patients of stage 4 to have the dialysis, which can discharge the poison and waste out of body and remit the symptoms. The main function of dialysis is replaced the function of kidney, and control the serious condition.

2 Remitting Symptoms Fastly

The dialysis needn’t a long time, so after finishing the dialysis, the patients will feel well quickly. Most of symptoms will be remitted, so it is a good way to reduce pain of CKD patients.

Disadvantages

1 Useless Improving Kidney Function

The dialysis does can remit some symptoms of the patients, while which can’t improve the function of kidney. So if the patients begin the dialysis, they will rely much on dialysis, if the dialysis is stopped they will suffer a serious pain.

2 Being Harm to the Heart

When the patients are receiving the dialysis, the hemodynamics will be higher than normal, which is bad for patient’s heart and can cause the hear disease easily.

3 Expensive Costs

There should be professional equipment and experienced doctors to develop the dialysis, so if the patents want to have a dialysis they need to pay expensive costs which are not suit to the poor family.

I believe that patients who have the dialysis experience want to get rid of it. So I will introduce a special Chinese medical therapy in our hospital, which can instead the dialysis.

Four one therapy

1 A bottle of Chinese medicine.

In the morning, when you wake up, you should to drink the Maikang Composition, which is a unique Chinese medicine invented by our hospital. There are three important functions, one is benefit qi .the second one is promoting the blood. The last one is dredging collaterals.

3 A dose of Chinese medicine.

This pair Chinese medicine is mainly used to be applied externally. Which infiltrate to the kidney through skin, in order to clear and activate the channels and collaterals.

4 A basin of Chinese medicine.
