How does Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy take effect to treat kidney disease

traditional Chinese medicine 
As an innovative therapy of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy has been applied in our hospital for many years to treat a wide range of kidney diseases effectively.

Through expanding all kinds of renal arteries, we can improve the perfusion of the glomeruli, reduce the glomeruli's inner pressure, and decrease the high filtration state of the glomeruli. In this way, we can control and delay the progression of glomerular sclerosis.
By expanding peripheral blood vessels, the general blood circulation throughout the whole body can be increased, and the obstacles of the skin and microcirculation can be improved. Therefore, various poisoning symptoms of Renal Failure can be remitted.
This therapy can also expand the gastrointestinal blood vessels so as to enhance the blood perfusion of digestive tract and eliminate the obstacles in the tract. In this case, edema of digestive tract will disappear, secretion of gastrointestinal liquid can be increased, and the digestive tract remove the toxins gradually.

What is Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy?

Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is an innovative therapy of TCM, which combines Chinese herbal medicine with modern medical technology. This kind of therapy brings forth a new idea to micro-processing the herbal medicines. With the help of advanced osmosis facilities, effective medicine can reach kidney lesions through external application.

Active substances contained in Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can release series of inflammatory mediators and renal toxic factors and prevent the phenotypic transformation of renal intrinsic cells. Through inhibiting the inflammatory response, we can prevent the infiltration of inflammatory cells, the release of inflammatory mediators and toxic factors. Through stopping the phenotypic transformation of renal intrinsic cells, we can protect the healthy and remaining functional nephrons, and block the progression of the renal injury.

How does Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy take effect to treat kidney disease?

Actually, more than 95% of kidney diseases are caused by immunological dysfunction. Too much immune complexes will be produced and then deposit in the kidneys, causing damages to renal intrinsic cells and functional tissues.

Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can remove the immune complexes effectively. On one hand, it can degrade the immune complexes and improve the blood circulation. Then the degraded immune complexes will be expelled out of the body eventually. On the other hand, Micro-Chinese Medicine can provide rich micro nutrients for repairing of the damaged cells and tissues, so renal function will recover gradually.

Special material of Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can take effect to invigorate the blood circulation and release pressure of veins, thus improving the general micro-circulation and alleviated the renal ischemia and anoxia.

All above is the detailed information about Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy. If you still have questions, you can consult experts online.

Anemia is the most common cause of fatigue in FSGS kidney disease

Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy 
Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis, or FSGS, is a type of autoimmune disease that affects the kidney function by attacking the glomeruli, the tiny units within the kidney where blood is cleaned. FSGS is Immunotherapy in Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital. This new therapy is developed by the nation's kidney experts based on 26 years' expertise and clinical practice in kidney disease treatment.

Because the kidneys are responsible for removing waste products from the bloodstream, a decline in kidney function will result in feelings of sluggishness and constant unexplained fatigue. Some patients also feel weakness throughout their body and have trouble sleeping or concentrating.

Anemia is the most common cause of fatigue in FSGS kidney disease. When the kidneys are impaired, waste products or uremic toxins will build up in the blood stream. Moreover, healthy kidneys can also secrete several important hormones, one of which is called erythropoietin (EPO). This hormone can help the bone marrow make new red blood cells. As kidney function declines, they kidneys are not able to release sufficient EPO, leading to fewer red blood cells count, or anemia. Red blood cells contain a protein known as haemoglobin, which can transport oxygen to all the parts of the body. Without enough supply of oxygen, the cells in the body have to work harder, patients with FSGS will feel tired all of time.

Another common cause of fatigue in FSGS may be lack of hydration. The energy levels are directly associated with the kidneys' ability to process liquids and foods in the body. When the body runs low on water, it may also run low on energy.
The above is a general introduction of the reasons of fatigue in FSGS. Patients are suggested to talk with the doctor and find the specific causes so that we can take corresponding treatment to eliminate the underlying cause.
In order to remit the fatigue, patients should choose an effective therapy for FSGS as soon as possible. Chinese herbs can help you. Micro-Chinese medicine Osmotherapy is the evolution of traditional Chinese herbs therapy.

Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can help us remove the harmful substances in the kidneys. As a innovation of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), this therapy is applied externally. Patients just need to lie on bed with two medicine sacks attached to renal lesions. The treatment would feel like massage. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can function to improve blood circulation of the kidneys, decrease inflammatory reaction and eliminate harmful substances. In this way, we can effectively stop the progress FSGS.

Through this therapy, most useful ingredients of Chinese herbs can be permeated into the kidney lesion through skin. So the Chinese herbs can be full used to treat FSGS.
Besides, micro-Chinese medicine Osmotherapy can dilate the blood vessels and accelerate the microcirculation. In this way, more blood and oxygen can be provided into kidney tissues in order to reduce renal inflammation. Furthermore, Chinese medicine can regulate people’s immunity to fight against the factors which arouse FSGS.

Immunotherapy therapyis every effective in repair the harden tissues. In fact, once the glomeruli are hardened or dead, no drug can save them. However, stem Immunotherapycan provide healthy cells for kidney to replace the harden ones. Provided many kidney tissues are repaired, kidney function will recover and people’s fatigue will be removed.

In order to remove the fatigue, FSGS should be treated with a comprehensive therapeutic schedule. You can consult the experts online for therapy suitable for you.

Can IgA Kidney Disease Be Cured by Hormone

IgA Kidney Disease
Immunoglobulin A is an antibody. Antibodies will be produced when there is a bacterium, virus, or toxin, invading into our body. In normal cases, these antibodies will help fight these invaders. Due to immune dysfunction, IgA can get into the kidneys, leading to inflammation. Eventually, signs like blood and protein in the urine, high blood pressure, swollen hands and feet, etc will occur. In western medicine, hormones are often used to treat IgA Kidney Disease.
Patient with the disease may have an abnormal immune system or low immunity. In these condition, IgA antibody will combine with the germs that entering into the body, forming immune complex. Normally, these immune complexes circulation through the bloodstream until being removed by the liver and other organs. In IgA kidney disease, however, they become trapped in the glomeruli. During the process of the body's ridding immune complexes, excessive immune response can be caused, leading to renal injury.
Hormone treatment for IgA Kidney Disease
After hormones get into the body, they mainly function to restrain the immune response so that the injury of renal inherent cells from immune complex deposits can be remitted. Symptoms of IgA Kidney Disease may be alleviated within a short period.
However, they do nothing to improve the damaged kidney function, so hormone treatment is not a cure for this illness. What's worse, under this treatment, patients may be haunted by some side effects, such as osteoporosis, excitement, high blood pressure, upper digestive tract bleeding, etc.
Is there any way to cure IgA Kidney Disease? Actually, the crucial points for curing the disease include an early diagnosis and prompt treatment. Patients should find a systemic therapy which can help eliminate the underlying causes through ameliorating the symptoms, inhibiting the abnormal immune response rapidly, removing the deposition of immune complex, and recovering the renal function. If the overall immune system gets well regulated, patients have great chance to be eventually cured.

patients with Nephrotic Syndrome should avoid catching a cold and overwork

Nephrotic Syndrome
Nephrotic Syndrome is featured by massive proteinuria, hypoproteinemia, hyperlipemia and swelling. As a mass of protein loses in urine along with gastrointestinal dysfunction which can cause insufficient protein intake, the patients' resistibility is very weak. Therefore, the patients are susceptible to have infections in many body parts. If the infections can not controlled effectively and spread, it can cause damage and even threaten their life. Therefore, it is very important for the patients with Nephrotic Syndrome to control infections. The following will introduce some measures for preventing infections in Nephrotic Syndrome.
※ The patients with Nephrotic Syndrome should get enough protein from their daily diet. When their renal function is normal, the patients should keep high protein intake and increase the proportion of quality protein like egg whites, lean meat, fish etc in the total amount of protein intake.
※ The patients with Nephrotic Syndrome should avoid catching a cold and overwork as well as had better not go to the public places. They should also pay more attention to their oral hygiene and gargle with alkaline mouthwash to avoid stomatitis. If they are accompanied by swelling, they are very likely to have skin infections for skin injury. Therefore, they should protect their skin well and avoid trauma. Once infections occur, they should use antibiotic therapy. If the chronic infections like tonsillitis reoccur frequently, they should eradicate the disease after the illness condition becomes stable.
※ The patients with Nephrotic Syndrome should improve their autoimmunity. They should take proper exercise like walking, jogging, taichi etc. Moreover, they also can use some medications which can improve immunity to decrease frequent infections.
If you are a Nephrotic Syndrome and tormented by the frequent infections, you can describe your illness condition below. We will replay you as early as possible.

IgA Nephropathy: Symptoms and Prognosis

IgA Nephropathy
IgA Nephropathy is an autoimmune disease. It is characterized with the deposition of IgA deposition and other complex. In the western medicines, the patients mainly use hormone to restrain immunoreaction so as to decline the deposition of complex. Although the patients can receive a good therapeutic effect in a short time, it can not improve patients’ immunity at all. Therefore, once patients stop using hormone, their disease will reoccur again. In order to get a better therapeutic effect, the patients should receive relative treatment from the pathogenesis of IgA Nephropathy.
In many years’ clinical practices, traditional Chinese herb has an extraordinary effect in treating IgA Nephropathy. Through the following treating processes, the patients can get a good therapeutic effect.
1. Degrading immune complex
IgA Nephropathy is mainly characterized by the deposition of immune in the mesangial area. Traditional Chinese herb can degrade immune complex thus blocking their damage to the renal intrinsic cells.
2. Improve blood circulation
Mesangial cells control the contraction of blood capillaries. As the proliferation of mesangial cells, the blood capillaries will be contracted persistently. Therefore, the blood vessels lumina will become narrow, which can cause obstruction of blood circulation thus causing renal ischemia and anoxia.
Traditional Chinese herb can block the microcirculation disorder thus improve the renal ischemia and anoxia.
3. Anti-inflammatory effect
The depositions of immune complex can diffusive proliferative mesangial cells and obviously broadened mesangial area and glomerulosclerosis, which can initiate the kidney inflammatory response. Traditional Chinese medicine has an anti-inflammatory effect, which can eliminate the inflammatory factors so as to prevent the disease from developing further.
4. Improve immunity
Traditional Chinese medicines can improve patient’s immunity. Therefore, it can treat IgA Nephropathy from its fundamental cause.
Traditional Chinese medicines have an obvious effect in treating IgA Nephropathy, which brings much hope to all patients.
5. Repair damaged renal intrinsic cells
If the kidney can not get sufficient oxgen and blood supplement, it will initiate the fibrosis process of kidney. As a result, the renal intrinsic cells will lose their normal function and structures gradually.
Traditional Chinese medicines can improve renal ischemia and anoxia thus blocking fibrosis process. In addition, the medicines can provide some nutrition such as vitamin, trace elements, organic acid and so on.
The following factors can influence the prognosis of IgA Nephropathy.
* The prognosis of IgA Nephropathy is poorer in male than female. What’s more, the earlier the disease starts, the worse its prognosis will be.
* For the persons with frequent gross hematuria, the prognosis is bad.
* If the persons with IgA Nephropathy develop massive proteinuria or Nephrotic Syndrome, the prognosis is not good.
* If the persons with IgA Nephropathy have a poor control of blood pressure, the prognosis is bad.
* If the pathological change in IgA Nephropathy such as crescent formation, interstitial fibrosis etc, the prognosis is bad.

Should Diabetics with Kidney Disease Drink Diet


Diabetes is the leading cause of chronic kidney disease, and kidney disease usually advances at a faster rate in diabetics, especially for those who have a poor control of the illness. A healthy diet not only is essential in the management of Diabetes, but it also plays a pivotal role in preserving renal functions. While, should diabetics with kidney disease drink diet colas?
Diabetics with kidney disease
Renal disease is characterized by the gradual loss of renal function. Healthy kidneys can function to filter the blood and maintain the balance of electrolyte levels in the blood like potassium, phosphorus, sodium and maintain pH within normal ranges. Diabetic renal disease patients should restrict the intake of these nutritions in the daily diet.
In general, a person with Diabetes & kidney disease is recommended to restrict certain diet sodas or cut them out all together. Reasons are as below:
▪ These drinks contain phosphorus. Since the kidneys are damaged over time, they loss their filtering ability, so excessive phosphorus accumulated in the blood rather then being eliminated. High blood phosphorus can disrupt calcium absorption, causing bone loss. Deposits of calcium and phosphorus in the skin will lead to itchy skin, bone pain, and scaling.
▪ Diet sodas sweetened with acesulfame potassium can result in elevated potassium level in the blood, as the diseased kidneys are not able to filter certain minerals and electrolytes. In severe cases, irregular heart and even cardiac arrest can be caused.
Besides, Diabetes & kidney disease patients are recommended to choose foods as below:
Low-potassium foods: bagels, flour tortillas, noodles, fruit cocktail, graham crackers, lettuce, carrots and blueberries.
Low-phosphorus foods: apples, strawberries, grapes, unsweetened dry cereal, Cream of Wheat, and fat-free milk.

Management of Flank Pain in Berger's Disease


Flank pain describes a sensation of discomfort, distress, or agony in the part of the body below the rib and above the ilium. In short, it refers to pain on the sides or small of the back. This condition is often linked to renal or kidney problems. Here, we'd like to talk about flank pain in Berger's disease.
In Berger's disease, flank pain is thought to be resulted from swelling and stretching of the renal capsule - the covering forming the outside of the kidney, during acute episodes of IgA Nephropathy. The pain is usually reported as a dull ache.
In some cases, patients may develop persistent, severe attacks of loin pain. Some patients may be diagnosed with loin pain hematuria syndrome (LPHS).
How to manage flank pain in Berger's disease?
1. Catch the pain at the start and apply heat to the area with a hot water bottle, heating pad, or soaks in a warm bath or shower. Hot castor oil packs over the painful area may be helpful.
2. Modify dietary arrangement. Increase the water intake during attacks. For people whose urine in the morning is cloudy, with a fine, white sediment, they should avoid eating dairy, meats, sodas until the urine clears and pain disappears. Eat lots of fresh fruits and vegetables and only whole grains.
3. Stay away from caffeine, alcohol, and tobacco during any exacerbations of Berger's disease.
As for the medical treatment, it may varies with different specific causes of the flank pain. The treatment should be make after nephrologist have a comprehensive analysis of the illness condition and find the underlying cause. Then, corresponding therapies can be carried out to relive the symptom.
Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital is one of the largest kidney disease specialized hospital in the world. Established in 1986, the nation's top nephrologists in our hospital have accumulated more than 20 years' experience and expertise in Berger's disease treatment. With the most-advanced therapies, patients can have the most successful chance of recovery.

Natural Solutions for Polycystic Kidney Syndrome

Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy
Polycystic Disease, which is sometimes referred to as Polycystic Kidney Syndrome, is an inherited disorder that causes fluid-filled cysts to grow on the kidneys. When these cysts grow too large, the kidneys can be damaged. This disease may range in severity from mild cases with no symptoms to serious cases that lead to ultimate Renal Failure. While, are there any natural solutions for the disease?
● A renal diet - the best natural treatment for Polycystic Kidney Syndrome
A kidney support diet can control the symptoms of PCKD and keep the kidneys healthy for longer. By doing so, some patients can delay the start of dialysis or even avoid it completely.
Eat a low protein diet. The recommended amount of protein intake on an average day is 0.8 grams per kilo of body weight (about 0.4 grams per pound). This can make a dramatic difference.
Restrict the intake of sodium. Use garlic powder, onion powder or other herbs and spices to replace salt. Avoid processed foods.
● Regular exercise
Exercise regularly can help control the blood pressure as well as help manage Polycystic Kidney Syndrome. A good goal is 30 minutes of physical exercise most days of the week. Proper activities are like walking, jogging, and biking.
● Natural solution in traditional Chinese medicine - Micro-Chinese Medicine
Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is an external application. The active ingredient are permeated into renal cysts with the use of moder osmosis equipment.
This natural herbal therapy can expand blood vessels and accelerate the blood circulation around the cysts wall. Meanwhile, the permeability of cysts wall will be increased, so cystic fluids can be reabsorbed into the blood and get discharged out of the body.
With this natural treatment, the cysts will shrink gradually and the oppression to surrounding kidney tissue can be reduced. Then, all the symptoms will disappear.

PCKD is a frequent cause of declined kidney function

Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy
Some people may have PCKD bilateral 30cm kidneys. How to deal with this condition?
PCKD is a frequent cause of declined kidney function, resulting in chronic kidney disease in adults and children. When kidneys are involved by this disorder, fluid-filled cysts, similar to small water balloons, develop and get bigger in both kidneys. This affects the kidneys to expand, causing enlarged kidneys. Some people may have bilateral 30cm kidneys. How to deal with this condition?

Normally, the size of the kidney is about 10-12cm. As for around 30cm kidneys, they have become enlarged greatly. The root cause of this problem is due to the growth of large amount of cysts and normal renal structure will be changed by these cysts.

Corresponding treatment should be aimed at shrinking the cysts on the kidneys and stop them from growing us at the same time. In this case, dialysis and kidney transplant will be avoided. We do have such a natural treatment procedure without surgery. This is known as Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy. You can have a better understand about this therapy from the following context.

1. What's the outline of the treatment procedure?

Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy has been applied in our hospital for more than 20 years in treating PCKD through stopping the growth and shrinking the cysts. It is a kind of natural herbs remedy, which is an externally used treatment. So we can avoid the stimulation to gastrointestinal tract and can more effectively focus on kidney treatment.

2. Is it only offered at your hospital?

I am afraid "yes" until now.

3. I was wondering if you could give me an idea of the success rate (?)

PKD is a genetic kidney disease, and it cannot be completely cured so far. Out statistic shows that we have treated 2051 PCKD patients from 2008 to 2011, and most of them have their cysts shrunk, the improvement rate is over 90%. And PCKD patients accounts for 6% of all of our patients each year.

After patients get discharged from our hospital, we will keep in touch with them to see their effects and instruct and adjust their medications.

Is there still any questions? You can send an email to sjzkidneyhospital@hotmail.com

How can Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy take effect to reverse your Polycystic Kidney

Polycystic Kidney Disease is genetic. It's true that the disease cannot be fundamentally cured, but it can be well controlled so that you can avoid dialysis or kidney transplant.

You have 2cm cysts in both of your kidneys. The cysts are not big and can still be shrunk by medicine. Your creatinine 1.4 is slightly higher than normal value. This means that you still have much kidney function left. Treated promptly, your disease can still be reversed. So you should be confident to defeat the illness with our mutual endeavor!

What treatment is available in Chinese medicine to help treat Polycystic Kidney effectively? One of these effective therapies is Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy. Have you heard of traditional Chinese medicine? Conventionally, medicines are taken orally in TCM. Osmotherapy is an innovative form used externally on the back, so it is more convenient and there is no side effect to the human body.

How can Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy take effect to reverse your Polycystic Kidney? Hope the following points can give you a general understand. 1) We use Osmotherapy to expand blood vessels, speed up blood circulation on cyst walls, and improve the permeability of the cysts, thus making the cysts shrink and decrease, until it stops secreting. 2) With decreased internal pressure of the cysts, their sizes will become smaller and smaller gradually, thus decreasing their compression to the surrounding renal tissues. 3) After the cysts disappear, they are not easy to recur. The symptoms of Polycystic Kidney such as blood in the urine, back pain, elevated blood pressure, etc will go away thoroughly.

With the rapid development of medical science, we believe there will be a fundamental cure for PKD in the near future. Don't lose heart. We will try our best to help. Any question? You can send an email to sjzkidneyhospital@hotmail.com

What causes edema in ankles with IgA Nephropathy

IgA Nephropathy
"I am 54 years old. My blood pressure is 116/84. Creatinine is 1.54. Stage-3. Potassium-4.9mmol/l, Urea 71mg. Urine Protein 24-hours 128mg. I have edema in ankles and feet pain. Please tell me how can I cure this problem. Thank you!"
Proteinuria, edema in ankles, and pain in the foot are common symptoms of IgA Nephropathy. You said you were in the stage 3. This is the pivotal time for treatment. We must stop it develop into stage 4, if not, the condition will too serious.
What causes edema in ankles with IgA Nephropathy?
The disease is a kind of auto immune disease that occurs when too much IgA immune complexes deposited on the glomerular basement membrane, causing the proliferation and swelling of mesangial cells, thus damaging the charge barrier and mechanical barrier. The filtration membrane fails to block the leakage of proteins and red blood cells.
The massive loss of protein may lead to hypoproteinemia, leading to decreased plasma colloid osmotic pressure. So edema occurs.
In order to eliminate the symptoms of edema in ankles completely, we must remove the immune complex on the basement membrane and repair the damaged mesangial cells, the protein leakage will be stopped. Besides, we should restore the kidney function.
In our hospital, Immunotherapy and Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy are used together to treat IgA Nephropathy on the basis of exact diagnosis. We have to know what kind of immune complex is deposited and the amount and position it deposits exactly. In this way, we can give you targeted treatment. While controlling the immune reaction, Chinese medicine will be used for kidney repair and protection.
As one of the largest kidney disease specialized hospitals throughout the world, we have treated more than 20,000 patients with kidney diseases or Diabetes every year, and 30% patients suffer IgA Nephropathy. So, you can have the most successful chance of recovery.

What are the complications of protein in urine with NS

Nephrotic syndrome
Protein is one of the three main chemicals that make up human body and an important part of the plasma of the blood, so the body does not want to lose it. When the body remove waste products through the kidneys, proteins are kept in the blood, because they are too large to pass through the tiny holes in the kidney filters - Glomeruli. However, in Nephrotic Syndrome, the filters are damaged and protein can pass into the urine.
How does protein in urine occur in NS?
The glomeruli act as filters to eliminate waste products from the blood stream, which is then excreted from the body in the urine. In NS, an immune disease, the abnormal immune system attacks and damages the glomeruli, and these filters become defective and leak, allowing 3 grams or more of protein to get lost into the urine when measured over a 24-hour period, which is more than 20 times the amount that healthy glomeruli allow.
What are the complications of protein in urine with NS?
Edema. Protein in the blood acts to prevent water entering the body's cells. Decreased serum protein levels lead water leaks into body tissue, causing swelling (oedema).
Hypertension, or high blood pressure. Kidney disease commonly result in high blood pressure. This increases the risk of further renal disease, also the risk of heart attack and stroke.
High cholesterol level in the blood. If this exists over a period of years, there is an increased risk of a heart attack.
How can I stop protein in urine with NS naturally?
The underlying cause of this problem is treatable with the latest Immunotherapy. With this systemic therapy, patients can get rid of Urine Protein naturally.
Causes of Secondary NS
Diabetic Nephropathy. The disease is also called diabetic glomerulosclerosis. This form of NS occurs only in Diabetics, and patients with the disorder usually progress to end stage renal disease (ESRD).
Treatment of secondary NS
Secondary causes account for <10% of childhood cases but >50% of adult cases.
In diabetes, metabolic control is the mainstay of treatment. In other secondary causes of NS, specific treatment varies depending on the causative illness, e.g. immunosuppressive therapy of a systemic disease, or Immunotherapy for autoimmune renal diseases.
At present, Immunotherapy is the latestest treatment for secondary NS caused by immunological diseases. With this new treatment, the overall immune system can be regulated, so the symptoms will be eliminated and the root cause is eradicated.
Renal amyloidosis. In general, patients with the disease will develop NS in 3 to 5 years. The deposition of amyloid fibrils in the kidneys is associated with B cell lymphomas and chronic inflammatory states such as rheumatoid arthritis.
Immunotherapy aims at treat kidney problems from the perspective of regulating the immune system. So it is a fundamental solution. With this treatment, the damaged glomeruli can be repaired over time, and symptoms of NS will disappear naturally.

Why have nephrotic syndrome

nephrotic syndrome
There are tiny blood vessels in the kidneys that filter waste and excess water from the blood stream. When these filters are damaged, a person will get Nephrotic Syndrome. The most common early symptom of this disorder, in both children and adults, is swelling in the tissues around the eyes or in the ankles or feet due to drop in osmotic pressure. The following gives detailed introduction.
Colloid Osmotic Pressure
 we need to do is to clean up the waste products stored within the body. Then, we should maintain the residual kidney function and repair the damaged renal cells so that your kidney function can be improved. In this way, your creatinine level will be lowered down and other symptoms will be eliminated.
It can also be referred to as oncotic pressure, which is a measurement of pressure exerted within the cardiovascular system by proteins found in blood plasma. Maintaining the proper levels osmotic pressure ensures that the body tissues maintain the proper levels of liquid and that too much liquid doesn't escape from the capillaries.
Normally, colloid osmotic pressure tends to cause fluid to be drawn into the capillaries. Variations in this pressure can lead to build up of fluid in the tissues, a condition called edema, or swelling.
Immunotherapy is a comprehensive therapy. The treatment process includes six steps like an accurate diagnosis (with our immune tests), immune blocking, immune clearance, immune tolerance, immune adjustment and immune protection. Specific steps may be adopted depending on personalized illness condition.
Swelling due to Drop of Osmotic Pressure in NS
Individuals with NS suffer from large quantity of Urine Protein. Massive proteins will get released into the urine, leading to reduced amount of plasma colloid osmotic pressure. If this happens, the normal exchange of body fluid is disturbed and cannot keep balance any more. Water in blood vessels will transfer toward tissue fluid, resulting in swelling.
Besides, another cause of edema in NS is also associated with low blood protein concentration.
Water in the blood transfers toward interstitial tissue, leading to low effective blood volume. This in turn gives rise to the production of Anti-diuretic Hormone (ADH). Renal tubules will reabsorb more water and sodium, resulting in more water retention. This condition will aggravate the swelling in NS.
The above is a general introduction of cause of swelling in NS. Is there still anything unclear about the disease? Contact our online doctor for free help.

Chinese medicine, Western medicine, the combined effect of each treatment for kidney disease

Chinese traditional medicine
Although IgA nephropathy might be silent for years, it is a harsh reality that about 25% of adults with IgA Nephropathy develop total kidney failure and 5 to 10 percent of children develop total kidney failure. Renal failure means that your kidneys are less able to work to remove wastes and fluid out of the body. The goal of treatment is to protect the residual kidney function and stop kidney disease progressing. In Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital, traditional Chinese medicine has been used to treat renal failure resulting from IgA nephropathy for 26 years.
If you have no idea of or suspect the effects of traditional Chinese medicine on renal failure, please read on. This article will give you an answer.
1. Thousands of years’ history. From the ancient, tradition Chinese medicine has been used to treat kidney disease that contributes to Chinese health. It gives us more experience in treating all kinds of kidney disease. In the world, it has been accepted by most people due to its dramatic effects on restoring kidney disease.
2. Innovative form of traditional Chinese medicine. It has been developing. In Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital, based on the theory of traditional Chinese medicine and after years’ experiments, we create an innovative form – Micro-Chinese Medicine which gives up the weakness of traditional Chinese medicine such as damage to the stomach, and inherits the advantages such as having no side effects, treating both the symptoms and the whole body. It targets to restore the kidneys and improve the self-healing by improve the blood flow through kidneys, removing complex in the kidneys and reducing high blood pressure.
3. 26 years’ clinical practice. Traditional Chinese Medicine has been used in Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital for 26 years. It treats more than 10,000 people with various kidney diseases from home and abroad each year. This strongly proves the effects of traditional Chinese medicine on kidney disease.
Many people treated by us who suffer from renal failure get remission after treatment. We are proud of the cases in which traditional Chinese medicine helps renal failure avoid dialysis or kidney transplant. Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital is committed to offer the best treatment and personalized service to help renal failure patients out of trouble.

How to relieve the symptoms of kidney failure

TCM therapy penetration
Have you said to yourself or your friends “I am scared!” “How long does it take to die from kidney failure” or “what is the life like with kidney failure”? Virtually, there is no need to worry too much. With proper treatment, you can live as long as ordinary people. Here, traditional Chinese medicine is recommended which can ease the symptoms, improve quality of life and prolong the life span.
Within 26 years in treating kidney disease, traditional Chinese medicines (TCM) show its great effects on restoring kidneys, improving the immunity and keeping the whole body balanced in Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital. New forms of TCM are created that have fewest side effects on the body that include Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy and Medication Bath.
What will you expect from TCM?
1. Significantly alleviate the symptoms of renal failure. Reduce the protein in the urine and high blood pressure. Swelling disappears.
2. Restore the damaged kidneys. The effective herbs for kidney disease are used which work to restore the damaged kidneys by improving the blood flow through the kidneys and supplying oxygen to kidneys.
3. Keep the whole body balanced. Different from the Western medicine which only put off the symptoms, TCM is designed to treat the whole body not the symptoms alone. The every organ will work well and coordinate with other organs by keep them balanced.
4. Improve the immunity. Normally immune system is to fight with the germs and bacteria and protect people against the disease. The recipes are composed of beneficial substances to improve the immunity and self-healing.
5. Prolong life span. Renal failure patients get a remission after the TCM treatment and have a lower risk of complications. It extends the lifespan of patients.
Before you want TCM, you can talk with your doctor. It takes a long course to reverse your kidneys with TCM so prepare well and persist on the treatment.
For more information about TCM for renal failure, please consult the online experts who will give some advice on your concerns.

End-stage renal failure is the main cause of death in SLE patients. Kidneys are involved in all the SLE cases

End-stage renal failure
End-stage renal failure is the main cause of death in SLE patients. Kidneys are involved in all the SLE cases. About 50% patients have the symptoms of kidney damage such as protein in the urine, blood in the urine, swelling, high blood pressure, and elevated BUN and creatinine levels.
The conventional approach treatments
GCS and immunosuppressive drugs are the commonest medicines used to treat LN (lupus nephritis). In deed these medicines work well on alleviating the symptoms of LN but it is terrible that they cause the side effects.
Here are some of the side effects of GCS and immunosuppressive drugs:
1. The imbalance of fluid and electrolytes.
Long-term use of glucocorticoids will causes the imbalance of fluid and electrolytes such as swelling, low blood potassium, high blood pressure, sugar urine, appearance change, myasthemia and so on. In addition, children may have a delayed development.
2. Cause or aggravate infection.
GCS can restrain the immune system and is unable to fight against germs so a long-term use can cause or aggravate infection, which may cause serious infection especially for people with low immunity.
3. Cardiovascular disease
It can lead to water retention and elevated fat levels in the blood, causing high blood pressure and atherosclerosis.
4. Mental abnormality
GCS can lead to mental abnormality such as exciting, insomnia, and mood swings. In some cases, patients have the tendency to suicide.
Blood purification - Alternative Treatment in Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital
Lupus nephritis is not only a kidney disorder but also systemic disease involving many organs of the body that is closely related to complex and antibody. It is not a cure to restrain immune and inflammation response alone. After years’ experiments and clinical trials, blood purification is created and used to treat Lupus nephritis.
1. Plasma exchange
Remove plasma containing harmful substance and then infuse healthy plasma into the patients.
2. Blood-lipid purification
With techniques and equipment, remove the LDL out of the body to improve hyperlipemia and reduce the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases.
3. Cell Removal Therapy
It refers to remove the excessive white cells to reach a normal level of cells in the body.
4. Immunoadsorbent technique
When the blood containing harmful substances flow thorough special equipment and then the harmful substances will be absorbed by special substances called immunosorbent.
These advanced techniques reduce the sides effects caused by medicines and rapidly alleviate the symptoms.
Here are the advantages of blood purification
1, Protect kidneys and stop the harmful substances damaging kidneys.
2. Stop harmful substances damage other organs especially heart and brain to reduce the incidence of sudden death and brain disease.
3. Clean the internal environment for the application of other therapies and improve the effects of other medicines.
The treatment of lupus nephritis is important for the prognosis of lupus nephritis. Different approaches determine the different diagnosis and life span. In addition to the alleviation of symptoms, removing the complex is also very important. Blood purification has been a current treatment.
If you are diagnosed with lupus nephritis, we are here to help you.

Cause of death in children suffering from nephrotic syndrome

Nephrotic Syndrome
A person with Nephrotic Syndrome is susceptible to infection. Decades ago when antibiotics are not available, they were the leading cause of death in children with NS. Common types include pneumococcal infections, particularly peritonitis. Then why do people with the disease is more prone to infection?
In general, there are mainly 4 causes:
1. Weaker humoral immune function;
2. Weaker cellular immune function and complement system;
3. Protein malnutrition, edema induced local circulatory obstruction;
4. Application of corticosteroids and immunosuppressive drugs for long time. In this case, patients are very protein to infection like a primary skin infection, respiratory tract infections, or even induced sepsis.
Moreover, infection may also lead to the relapse and aggravation of NS. So, it is essential for patients to take effective precautions through following the steps as below:
● Avoid any inducement.
Patients should protect themselves from being affected by a cold and over-strain work. It is advised for them to not go to the public places. For persons with symptoms like swelling, they should protect their skin and avoid injury or trauma.
● Strengthen the immune ability of the body.
Low-impact exercises like walking, jogging, golfing and so on are suitable for patients with NS. They can improve their own immunity with regular exercises. Besides, they can take some medicines under the doctor's prescription.
● Increase the intake of protein in daily diet.
For people with normal kidney function, patient can have a high quality protein diet through eating foods, such as lean meat, fish, eggs, etc.
We hope that the above suggestions can be helpful to you. email to sjzkidneyhospital@hotmail.com

Hyperlipidemia has long been recognized as a complication of Nephrotic Syndrome.

 Nephrotic Syndrome
Hyperlipidemia has long been recognized as a complication of Nephrotic Syndrome. According to a study of 20 nephrotic patients, 70 percent were found to have high cholesterol and 85 percent had reduced ratio of HDL cholesterol to TC. If you are affected by this prominent abnormal lipid metabolism, you can understand your situation well and find an effective solution here.
Why does a person with NS develop hyperlipidemia?
As we all know, NS will cause a large Urine Protein of more than 3.5g of protein lost in the urine each day. This results in a low protein level in the blood, or hypoalbuminemia (serum albumin<3g/100ml).
Due to decreased effective plasma albumin circulation, there is increased hepatic lipoprotein synthesis to maintain plasma oncotic pressure. As a result, high cholesterol and triglycerides can be caused. This hyperlipidemia can manifest as lipids in the urine, seen as oval fat bodies on microscopic urinalysis.
The kidneys are two bean-shaped organs found in the lower back. They are like body's filters, which remove wastes from the blood and returned the cleaned blood back to the body. Each of the kidneys has millions of units to filter blood known as glomeruli, tiny blood vessels. NS occur when the tiny blood-filtering units (glomeruli) in the kidneys are damaged. This causes loss of proteins in the urine, fall in plasma protein levels, and fluid to move into body tissues, causing swelling and bloating of body (edema or oedema).
Is there any comprehensive solutions for NS?
Based on 26 years' experience and expertise in kidney disease treatment, Immunotherapy has been worked out for NS. It is a comprehensive treatment which can gives a good curative effect. Immunotherapy contains Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy, new immunosuppressants, blood fat purification, which are useful for NS.
Treatment option of hyperlipidemia in NS: blood lipid purification
Long-term high lipid levels can aggravate the kidney damage of NS, thus accelerating the progression to renal insufficiency and Uremia. Besides, patient's risk of heart disease and pancreatitis increase.
Therefore, if we want to treat hyperlipidemia of NS effectively, we must clear up the excess harmful substances in the blood so as to create a clean internal environment and ensure the best treatment effect.
Blood lipid purification is one item of our immune clearance treatment aimed at alleviating high blood lipid levels. With the application of advanced equipment and technology, patient's LDL will be eliminated out of the body.
There are also several things you can do to control your symptoms, such as switch to a low-fat diet, control your weight, do regular aerobic exercise, quit smoking, avoid or limit alcohol, etc.
With the combination of medical treatment and lifestyle modification, hyperlipidemia in NS can be well treated. You can send an email to sjzkidneyhospital@hotmail.com for more information.

Kidney transplant surgery is the only "cure" for End Stage Renal Failure

End Stage Renal Failure
Kidney transplant surgery is the only "cure" for End Stage Renal Failure. With a successful transplant, patients can stop kidney dialysis, as the transplanted kidney can perform all the functions which the patient's own kidneys are not able to perform. Since the 1950s, when the first kidney transplants were performed, numerous patients have received this procedure. While, can transplant change patient's lifestyle?
The answer is "Yes". As with any organ transplant, patient will need to stay in the hospital for about one week to recover from surgery, and longer if he has any complications. Besides, life-long treatment with anti-rejection medications is inevitable. Why?
The usually job of the immune system is to fight invaders into the body, such as bacteria, and rejecting them. But the immune system will also sense the new transplanted kidney is foreign and try to "reject" it from the body.
To keep the body from rejection, patients have to take drugs that turn off, or suppress, the immune response. Two or more of the immunosuppressant medicines, as well as drugs to treat other health problems are required.
In some cases, even patients have do everything they are supposed to do, the body may still reject the new kidney and they may need to go back on dialysis once again.
Another problem is brought by long-term use of immunosuppressants. These medications can weaken the immune system, leading to infections. Other side effects including change of appearance, weight gain, acne or facial hair. Long period of diminishing the ability of immune cells to function increases the risk of developing cancer. Other severe diseases like Diabetes, hypertension, bone disease, cataracts, excess stomach acid, and liver or kidney damage may occur in some patients.
In conclusion, there are several potential lifestyle changes associated with this procedure that Renal Failure patients should be informed. If there is still anything unclear, you can send an email to sjzkidneyhospital@hotmail.com . It's a pleasure to help you!

Autoimmune diseases caused by renal failure

Renal Failure
Kidney Failure is a medical condition in which kidneys cannot develops its function completely. Most of the kidney failure cases are caused by immune diseases.
In most cases, kidney failure is not only the kidney problem but also the whole body disease. When you suffer the cold, fever or any infections, the virus as the antigen will enter into your body, then your antibody will defeat the antigen.
In the normal condition it can help you get back to the health. However, if you always suffers with the virus frequently, so it will easy to get the Immune allergic reactions, then produce too much immune complexes, such as the IgM.
The immune complexes will deposit in many organs along with the blood flow, especially the kidney. When they deposit in the kidney, the inflammatory response will occur, then the kidney will ischemia and anoxic, thus damage the kidney cells, so the kidney function be damaged.
If you are not very familiar to immunotherapy, either you know a little about immunotherapy, no matter how, the following helps you better understand this innovative therapy for renal failure created after years’ experiments and trials in Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital.
Firstly to block the immune reaction;
Secondly, discharge the immune complexes in the blood circulation;
Thirdly, discharge the immune complexes deposited in the kidney; Fourthly, improve her kidney function, fifth, restore her immune system.
Because 95% kidney disease is caused by the deposit of immune complex in the kidney, first we will suppress the immune system with medicines with low side effects, meaning stop the immune system destroying the kidneys, and then remove the harmful substances from the blood and kidneys with various therapies including traditional Chinese medicine, immune elimination and Immunotherapy. Finally, we will protect and rebuild the immune system, which normally fights with the germs and bacteria to keep people healthy in order to improve the self-healing.
We know the dialysis just can discharge toxins in patients’ body, it can not do anything for her deposited complexes in her kidney, and also, it can not repair patients’ damaged kidney and disordered immune system.
Patients with kidney failure are suggested to do the timely treatment. Dialysis may not be a good permanent treatment for the kidney size will be shrinked after too long dialysis.
In fact, besides dialysis, many other choices can also help patients with kidney failure, such as Chinese herbal medicine, immunotherapy etc. Especially, immunotherapy may a good choice, if your kidney failure really relates to your immune system.
Each patient in Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital is treated as an individual by offering a personalized service. If you are diagnosed with renal failure and want to avoid kidney transplant, we are here to help you!

What dialysis patients with kidney disease should pay attention to

Renal Failure
If you are diagnosed with end-stage renal failure, your doctor may advise dialysis in order to keep you alive. A lot of people would like to stop dialysis after starting it because of the pain or complications that dialysis procedure brings. Of course, it is your right to determine the treatment you receive. What is the lifespan after stopping dialysis?
If any ailments occur during dialysis, tell your doctor as soon as possible so as to deal with the complications immediately. Before starting dialysis, learn some about dialysis and how to do when illness feelings occur. Renal failure is a chronic and progressive disease, plus the pains during dialysis so most patients often feel depressed and hopeless. The nurses need to help them eliminate the panic and set up confidence in fighting with disease to cooperate with doctors.
Without life-sustaining dialysis or a kidney transplant, once a person develops end-stage renal disease, toxins build up in the body and a lot of life-threatening complications occur such as heart failure, confusion, coma, etc. The death usually comes within a few weeks. The lifespan depends on how little your kidney functions as well as any other existing health problems. One study found the average survive time is eight days when someone stops dialysis.
In a case, a woman chose to stop dialysis. The patients became more and more sleepy over time. She fell asleep about 6 hours before death and simply slowed her breathing down until it stopped. As the toxins build up, a brief period of confusion may exist for the patient.
In another case, a person lived for one year without dialysis but it is rare.
Virtually, dialysis helps renal failure patients remove the toxins and fluid out of the body to keep people healthy. In most cases, it is able to quickly alleviate the symptoms and prevent the life-threatening complications. In emergency, it is a approach treatment to treat renal failure. So, it is suggested to undergo dialysis if there is no kidney transplant or alternative treatment.
What is the lifespan of someone who is on dialysis?
Your lifespan depends on your age and other medical problems present. If you are between 45-54 years, the average five year survival is 70%; if between 65-74 years, it is 30%. And less than 20% if over 75 years of age.
If you are undergoing dialysis, you can consult the online kidney doctors on your concerns.

Micro-Chinese medicine treatment of lupus nephritis

Micro-Chinese Medicine
SLE (systemic lupus erythematosus) is an autoimmune disease, meaning the immune system can not tell the different between harmful substances and healthy ones. As a result, it will destroy healthy cells and tissues. In 60% lupus, kidney is involved, called lupus nephritis which may rapidly worsen to kidney failure. Here is the new treatment for renal failure due to lupus.
Immune clearance
Immune clearance is a new therapy for lupus nephritis including plasma exchange, cell removal techniques, hemofitration and so on. All these methods are to remove the harmful substances in the bloodstream such as macromolecular substances, middle molecular substances and small molecule substances. That is to say, these techniques avoid the advantages of single method which may only remove macromolecular substances.
The advantages of immune clearance
1. Protect kidneys and stop the harmful substances destroying the other organs especially heart and brain to reduce the risk of developing heart disease or brain disease which is the main cause of death in lupus patients.
2. Fast alleviate the symptoms of renal failure and release the life-threatening complications.
3. It can provide the good internal environment and increase the effects of following treatment.
4. Removal of immune complex in the blood is a protection of kidneys.
Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy
It is used to restore the kidneys, correct immune system and improve the self-healing. SLE is an autoimmune disease. If the immune system is corrected and can work normally, the lupus nephritis is treated. Micro-Chinese Medicine is such therapy which can correct the immune system by regulating the whole body balanced and keeping organs collaborate well.
Different from the traditional Chinese medicine which is often oral drug, Micro-Chinese medicine is an internal application containing Chinese herbs which are super-finely shattered. The effective ingredients are packaged into two small bags which patients need to lie on. With the help of special devices, the effective ingredients are permeated into the kidneys where they can work to restore kidneys. After the treatment, symptoms of renal failure are alleviated and in great degree, GFR is improved.
The combination of immune clearance and traditional Chinese medicine is a new treatment for renal failure due to lupus. If you are diagnosed with renal failure due to lupus, we are here to help you.

Nephrotic syndrome is a kidney disease

Nephrotic syndrome
Nephrotic syndrome is a kidney disorder that causes your body to excrete too much protein in your urine.

Nephrotic syndrome is usually caused by damage to the clusters of small blood vessels in your kidneys that filter waste and excess water from your blood. Nephrotic syndrome causes swelling (edema), particularly in your feet and ankles, and increases the risk of other health problems.

Treatment for nephrotic syndrome includes treating the underlying condition that's causing it and taking medications. Nephrotic syndrome can increase your risk of infections and blood clots. Your doctor may recommend steps to prevent these and other complications of nephrotic syndrome.

Rituximab offers an alternative to current immunosuppressive therapies for difficult-to-treat nephrotic syndrome. The best outcomes are seen in patients with steroid-dependent nephrotic syndrome who have failed to respond to multiple therapies. By contrast, the benefits of rituximab therapy are limited in patients with steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome, particularly those with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS). Therapy with plasma exchange and one or two doses of rituximab has shown success in patients with recurrent FSGS. Young patients and those with normal serum albumin at recurrence of nephrotic syndrome are most likely to respond to rituximab therapy. A substantial proportion of rituximab-treated patients with idiopathic membranous nephropathy show complete or partial remission of proteinuria, and reduced levels of phospholipase A2 receptor autoantibodies, which are implicated in the pathogenesis of this disorder. Successful rituximab therapy induces prolonged remission and enables discontinuation of other medications without substantially increasing the risk of infections and other serious adverse events. However, the available evidence of efficacy of rituximab therapy is derived chiefly from small case series and requires confirmation in prospective, randomized, controlled studies that define the indications for use and predictors of response to this therapy.

Most patients respond very well to medical nephrotic syndrome treatment. More aggressive treatment measures, including surgery, are only needed if complications arise that threaten kidney or heart failure. A surgeon may need to place a stent in a damaged artery in the kidney to hold it open and promote better blood flow. Cholesterol buildup in the arteries leading to the heart may require stenting as well. If all other options for nephrotic syndrome treatment fail, a team of doctors can consider kidney transplantation.

Specific treatment of nephrotic syndrome depends on the disease's cause

Nephrotic syndrome
Nephrotic syndrome can occur in anyone. The syndrome arises for many reasons, including a condition known as minimal change disease in children and glomerulonephritis (kidney inflammation) in adults. Nephrotic syndrome can also be caused by infection, medication side effects, heredity, cancer, and autoimmune disorders, such as diabetes and lupus.

The role of preventive anticoagulation in nephrotic syndrome has been reported, but there is no proof that it is beneficial.

Hyperlipidemia occurs in nephrotic syndrome, and it can be controlled with lipid-lowering agents. Older studies have reported a predisposition to atherosclerosis in patients with nephrotic syndrome, but there are no data to show that lipid-lowering drugs improve renal or patient outcomes.

Specific treatment
Specific treatment of nephrotic syndrome depends on the disease's cause. In minimal-change nephropathy, glucocorticosteroids, such as prednisone, are used.[35] Children who relapse after successful use of prednisone or who do not respond to prednisone (ie, those with steroid-resistant disease) may be treated with rituximab, an antibody against B-cells. Rituximab has also been used in membranous nephropathy in adults.[36]

In some forms of lupus nephritis, prednisone and cyclophosphamide are useful.

Secondary amyloidosis with nephrotic syndrome may respond to anti-inflammatory treatment of the primary disease.

Diet and activity
The diet in patients with nephrotic syndrome should provide adequate energy (caloric) intake and adequate protein (1-2 g/kg/d). Supplemental dietary protein is of no proven value. A diet with no added salt will help to limit fluid overload.

Management of hyperlipidemia could be of some importance if the nephrotic state is prolonged. Fluid restriction per se is not required.

There are no activity restrictions for patients with nephrotic syndrome. Ongoing activity, rather than bedrest, will reduce the risk of blood clots.

How the Kidneys Work
The kidneys are a pair of bean-shaped organs located toward the back of the abdominal cavity, just above the waist. The kidneys remove waste products and extra water from the food a person eats, returning chemicals the body needs (such as sodium, phosphorus, and potassium) back into the bloodstream. The extra water combines with other waste to become urine (pee).

The main functional units of the kidneys, where the blood filtering happens, are tiny organs called nephrons. Each kidney has about a million nephrons, and each nephron has one glomerulus (singular of glomeruli) — a ball of tiny blood vessels, or capillaries. The glomerulus is the nephron's filter. This is where the process of removing waste products and fluids from the blood begins.

When the glomeruli stop filtering properly, they allow too much protein to leave the blood. Protein helps hold fluids in the blood, so when there is less protein in the blood, the fluids can move to other parts of the body and cause a type of swelling (edema) in the face, belly, hands, arms, and other extremities. When this happens, it's called nephrotic syndrome.

Experts tell you IgA nephropathy patients can not eat chicken

IgA nephropathy
Each of us love to eat chicken meat, and there are thousands of mouth-watering recipes for this meat that is high in protein content. But for people with IgA Nephropathy (Berger′s disease), they often wonder that whether chicken meat is good for them. Read on to find an answer to this doubt.

In the first place, we need to know the diet principles for IgA Nephropathy (Berger′s disease) so that we can make proper choice of foods. According to nephrologists, IgA Nephropathy patients should arrange a reasonable diet which is low-protein, low-salt (<2~3g/d or even less), low-potassium, low-phosphorus and high-vitamins, etc.

So patients should take a proper diet which will not damage or aggravate a burden to kidney.Here are proper diet for IgA Nephropathy patients

Actually, chicken meat is a good source of protein. White chicken parts such as the wings and breast, have the most protein. One 3 oz. serving of chicken contains 21g of protein. Then should they avoid chicken meat? The answer is ′NO′.

It is true that patients with IgA Nephropathy should limit the protein intake, but here protein refers to low-quality protein (such as soy bean and bean products). In their daily life, they also need to supplement high quality protein. The protein contained in chicken meat belongs to high-quality protein, so chicken is pretty good for patients with IgA kidney disease. Moreover, chicken can improve immunity, which is closely related to much taurine that it contains. Other nutrition facts of chicken meat are as follows.

Fats. Chicken meat can be a healthy addition to your diet plan if you cook it without saturated or trans fats. Instead of adding breading and frying it, you can choose to grill, roast, sear or broil your chicken.

Even though chicken meat can be ate by IgA Nephropathy patients, not all recipes are suitable for you. With an improper cooking method, you disease may even get worse. You can consult our online doctor for a specific recipe of chicken meat.

Micro-Chinese Medicine treats IgA Nephropathy fundamentally

Micro-Chinese Medicine treats
In IgA Nephropathy [IgAN], unknown agents cause the glomeruli to become — and to stay — inflamed. IgAN is the world’s most common glomerulonephritis [inflammation of the glomeruli], but its pathogenesis [how the disease develops] is not known. IgAN is considered to be an immune-complex mediated disorder (or immunologically mediated disorder), which means that immune complexes may not be the direct cause of the disease but they help bring about the end result, which is widespread inflammation of the kidneys.

Hemoglobin is often a protein in the red blood cells that carries oxygen. When hemoglobin level declines, it brings about anemia. With anemia, you may feel tired, dizzy, less than breath, etc. For IgA Nephropathy patients, anemia is very common. Since the impaired kidneys can not secrete enough erythropoietin, which energizes the bone marrows to generate red blood cells. Besides, the accumulated wastes and toxins also impact the lifespan of red blood cells. With the decrease of red blood cells, hemoglobin level lowers.

a large number of relaxing factors of blood vassal in superfinely-shattered Chinese Medicines, which will permeate into small vessels and play a synergistic effect together with vessel-tension factors, and the effect of these is to relax the blood vessels around the body and kidneys. So it could remit the high blood pressure caused by poor and overstrain vasodilation.

The traditional therapy of low hemoglobin consider iron supplements and EPO. You can even eat some food that prime in iron, for example tofu, bean and dark leafy greens, but avoid a lot of. Though they could improve anemia, they are unable to treat your IgA Nephropathy.

Micro-Chinese Medicine treats IgA Nephropathy fundamentally

IgA Nephropathy is marked by lots of IgA deposition in mesangial area. These deposition do not belong to our kidney, so when they deposit there, inflammation will occur to try to clear them away. Though inflammation helps to remove IgA deposition, which is good for our kidney, but they can cause damages on surrounding kidney tissues at the same time. IgA Nephropathy is caused by kidney function is impaired due to kidney damages caused by inflammation. Steroids show quick effects in blocking inflammation and this will help to prevent further kidney damages. However, the problem is that they can not remove IgA deposition out of the kidney, so when patients stop taking medicine or reduce medicine dose, inflammation occurs again and illness condition relapses.

For Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy, it treats IgA Nephropathy by performing function of extending blood vessels, anti-inflammation, anti-coagulation and degradating extracellular matrixes. With the help of these functions, not only IgA deposition in mesangial area can be removed little by little, some injured kidney intrinsic cells also can be repaired effectively.
