How Much Do You Know about Renal Anemia


Many patients think that having a good rest is enough when they have the symptoms of fatigue, dizziness, palpitation and shortness of breaths after activities because they do not have much knowledge of renal anemia. Then What are the reasons for renal anemia? There are mainly three reasons of renal anemia.

1.When the renal function is damaged, the metabolic wastes can not be discharged out of our body normally so they just stay in the blood. These wastes can damage red blood cells directly and shorten the life of red blood cells. Living in such an environment, the red blood cells can not live for a long time. If one gets transfusion, the undamaged renal parenchyma’s function of hematopoiesis can also be greatly affected.

2.The metabolic wastes which stay in the blood circulation can affect the function of platelet and clotting factors, making patients to bleed more easily including bleeding of epistaxis, gingivae, stomach and intestine, which greatly aggravates the anemia.

3.Because of the damage of parenchyma, kidney can not excrete erythrogenin normally, which greatly influences the hematopoietic function of marrow.

Besides the above, renal anemia also has relation with the early symptom of gastrointestinal tract of renal insufficiency because nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea can make patients malnourished and in turn lead to persistent anemia.

How to Protect Kidneys for Patients with CKD


1. Prevent infections. Take care of the weather change and prevent cold. Keep the waist warm in winter and do not make the waist too cool in summer. Take more exercise and improve the immunity of our body. Prevent the infection of urinary tract which can be caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia for men and pelvic cavity disease for women. Once getting infection, patients should receive treatment in time.

2. Reasonable Diet. The diet for Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease should be light and they should eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. Consume chicken, fish, milk with low fat properly. Avoid consuming too much protein and salt. Avoid consuming sports beverage which contains extra electrolyte and salt.

3. Receive treatment in time. Many people may develop Chronic Nephritis at a young age, but they do not have knowledge about it. Receive treatment in time when you have streptococcus infections in laryngeal and amygdale which might lead to Chronic Nephritis.

4. Be optimistic. Long time in bad mood and scare will damage the function of kidneys. To sleep and get up regularly and have a good rest. The good habit plays a very important role to keep healthy.

5. Be cautious with nephrotoxic medicines. Pain-killers, cold medicines and antibiotics can cause great damage to the function of kidneys and they should be used under the instruction of doctors; women should not take diet pill in abuse which can lead to Kidney Disease.

6. Prevent other diseases from damaging kidneys. Some diseases such as Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, Urinary Calculi, dehydration in a large amount, hemorrhage etc. --all can lead to the damage of kidneys.

7. Well control blood sugar and blood pressure. Long time Diabetes and blood pressure out of control can cause vascular sclerosis because kidneys are composed of millions of capillaries. If blood sugar and blood pressure are not under control, the kidney can be damaged easily.

Hope what we mentioned above is helpful, if you have other questions, please leave us a message.

If Your Creatinine Level is 4.6


The normal creatinine level for adult males is 0.6-1.2mg/dl and for adults females, it is 0.5-1.1mg/dl. Creatinine 4.6 is much higher than the normal level no matter the patients are males or females. High creatinine levels mean the poor kidney function to some extent. Creatinine 4.6 means much kidney function has already been lost and the kidneys are damaged severely, also it can tell us the illness condition is in stage CKD 3. That is because the creatinine levels will not increase until the kidney function has declined to at least 50%.

If patients with creatinine 4.6 can not find the efficient treatment, the condition will aggravate and enter the next stage, CKD 4 or kidney failure. In that case, dialysis or kidney transplant will be your last and only choice. Generally speaking, when the creatinine levels reach about 5.1, the dialysis will be recommended.

If we want to reduce the creatinine level, only the healthy diet and medicine can not solve the root cause, we must repair the damaged kidneys and recover the kidney function. Immunotherapy may be the best choice. Immune diagnosis will help us to detect damaged parts of your kidneys and the damage degree; immune clearance helps patients eliminate the circulating immune complexes and create a clean inner environment; immune blocking helps patients prevent the further damage to kidneys through the immunosuppressive drug; different kinds of Chinese herbal medicine have different functions, at stage of immune adjustment and immune protection, Chinese herbal medicine is used to eliminate the immune complexes depositing in kidneys, promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis and provide the nutrient substance for damaged kidneys, however, it needs time to nourish the damaged kidneys, which is also the outstanding feature of Chinese herbal medicine. As long as the kidneys are repaired and the kidney function is restored, the creatinine levels will come back to the normal levels and the quality of life will be improved. Immunotherapy helps kidney disease patients prevent dialysis and kidney transplant. Leave us a message, if having any questions.

How to Cure Proteinuria


For kidney disease patients, when their glomeruli is damaged, the protein will be leaked into the urine, then proteinuria appears. In the clinical, patients with proteinuria are usually treated with medications. However, some patients can respond to the medicines well, and the protein in urine will disappear after a period of time; some FSGS patients are not sensitive to these medicines, there are still lots of proteins in the urine even though patients are taking the medicines; for some patients, proteinuria comes and goes, the illness condition always relapse.

Through restraining the immune inflammation reaction and stopping the further damage to kidneys, medications help kidney diseases patients control the proteinuria. But only medications are not enough. We should treat proteinuria from the root.

Kidney damage causes the proteinuria, but steroid medications used can not repair the damaged kidneys. Immunotherapy must be the best choice for patients with proteinuria. Immunotherapy will not only treat proteinuria through restraining the immune inflammation reaction, it will also adopt the advanced blood purification techniques to clean the blood and create a nice internal environment, and repair the damaged kidneys, restore the innate immune system of human body through Chinese herbal medicine. After the kidney function is recovered, the protein in urine will disappear naturally. If having any questions, you can leave us a message, the expert will send you the information as soon as possible.

The best treatment for Renal Failure


Dialysis is commonly used at the stage of Renal Failure. Dialysis can replace the kidneys to help patients eliminate the creatinine, uric acid, urea nitrogen and other small molecules. However, there are many other types of toxic substances in the blood and the immune complexes deposit on kidneys. The problem is that dialysis can not eliminate these substances and also can not enhance the kidney function.

So many Renal Failure patients have been on the kidney transplant list. They treat kidney transplant as their last life-saving straw. As a matter of fact, kidney transplant also has its limitation. In recent years, more and more patients may find that their creatinine levels higher again after a period of time of receiving kidney transplant. In that case, patients have to go back to dialysis treatment or receive the second kidney transplant.

We hope Renal Failure patients can be taken by the real treatments which can help them enhance the kidney function. Of course, other kinds of toxic substances depositing in the blood need to be eliminated by other blood purification techniques such as hemofiltration, plasma exchange, immune absorption and so on. As to the immune complexes depositing in kidneys, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can deal with them through promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis and degradation. Also the active materials of Chinese herbal medicine can provide the nutrition for the damaged kidneys. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy, on one hand, stops the further damage to kidneys, on another hand, it repairs the kidney damage.

Can Diabetic Nephropathy patients eat fish


Diabetic Nephropathy is a common complication of Diabetes. Too much blood sugar can damage kidney structure and make the blood capillary gets pathological changes. Healthy kidney can help our body eliminate the waste but now kidney function declines caused by the high blood sugar. Over time, more and more blood vessels are destroyed. There may have no symptoms at the early stage of Diabetic Nephropathy, with the decline in kidney function, patients will present some symptoms such as fatigue, frequent hiccups, nausea, vomiting, poor appetite, headache, generalized itching, swelling and so on. If Diabetic Nephropathy patients don't pay enough attention to these symptoms, condition will develop into Renal Failure and even Uremia which is one of the main causes of death for diabetics.

As to most Diabetic Nephropathy patients' menus, protein control is needed to prolong the deterioration of condition. While the latest research shows that the amount of protein intake is not the key that causing kidney damage, but the type of protein. Protein in fish is rich and belongs to the high-quality and complete protein. Both the amount and the ratio of the essential amino-acid in protein fit body’ need best, moreover, the protein in fish is easy to be digested and absorbed by human body.

Researchers from UK find that eating fish twice every week can prevent Diabetes developing into Diabetic Nephropathy. They said that maybe fish oil improve the condition of blood fat and reduce the occurrence of kidney disease, or the protein and other trace elements in fish play a protective action to kidney.

Bubbles in urine for PKD patients


High blood pressure, blood in urine and backache are the common symptoms of Polycystic Kidney Disease. However, sometimes patients may see some bubbles in their urine, and they would like to know the reasons.

Firstly, we should know that the bubbles in urine can also appear in common people, for examples, if people get a fever or they do some strenuous exercise, the bubbles may appear when urinating; also the speed and the angle when urinating can cause bubbles. However, people should not be worried about it, the bubbles will disappear after 24 hours or several days naturally. But if patients with PKD find bubbles in urine, they should find out whether the reasons are that mentioned above, if not, it may be related to the damage of kidney function.

Now let's see how PKD cause bubbles.

With the continuous enlargement of cysts, these cysts will oppress the surrounding tissues, which can lead to the damage of kidney function. And the glomerular filtration function and the reabsorption function of kidney tubules will be affected, so the protein will leak out from kidney and then be discharged out of body with urine, and the result is that the bubbles we see in the urine.
