The Tests for Diabetes Kidney Disease in

diabetes
Kidney transplant is needed when diabetes leads to end-stage renal failure that is the best way to deal with kidney dysfunction. Unfortunately, the insufficiency of matched kidneys makes a lot of patients die of the complications during the long-term waiting for the donors. For diabetes patients how to avoid kidney transplant?

Diet is a basic treatment for the diabetes treatment. Low protein diet is good to the patients. 50 percent of the diet should be high-quality protein so patients can eat eggs, milk or lean meat. You can consult your doctor or a dietician how much you need to take in protein in each meal.

High blood pressure is the main cause of kidney failure that follows diabetes. It can speed up the progress of kidney disease, leading to end-stage renal failure within a matter of weeks or months. Ideally, you should maintain your blood pressure at or below 130/80, which may be accomplished by avoiding sodium, eating a healthy diet or taking medications. ARB and ACEI are the commonest medicines available to both lower blood pressure and protect the kidney

The conventional tests for Diabetes Kidney Disease

Urine tests for albumin, called microalbuminuria. Too much protein is the early sign of kidney damage.
Your doctor also will check your kidneys with BUN and creatinine,
Other lab tests including:
● 24-hour urine protein
● Blood levels of phosphorus, calcium, bicarbonate, PTH, and potassium.
● Hemoglobin.

Seek a treatment
Treatment is the important way to deal with kidney disease. Your doctors may prescribe some medicines such as ARB and ACEI, protecting your kidneys and alleviate the symptoms. In the end-stage renal failure, dialysis or kidney transplant is needed to maintain alive. If you have not been put on the dialysis or reach some levels where kidney transplant is needed, Immunotherapy and traditional Chinese medicine may help you restore the kidneys and avoid kidney transplant

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.

Renal failure may be a gradual process and symptoms

Kidney failure
Kidney failure can be a gradual process and symptoms may not be seen until the disease is very advanced. Kidney failure occurs when the kidneys are no longer able to remove waste and maintain fluid balance in the body. Without some form of treatment, this would result in death. The two types of treatment for kidney failure are dialysis or transplantation.
Receiving the appropriate treatment for chronic kidney disease, especially in the early stage of kidney failure, may slow down or even stop the progression of damage to the kidneys. During the early stages of kidney failure it is important that you make regular visits to your doctor and follow the instructions you are given. Careful management of blood pressure and monitoring your health using test results are essential in order to prolong your kidney function as long as possible.
Most people can improve their health by taking simple measures such as not smoking, eating healthily, and exercising regularly. Once you've been diagnosed with kidney failure you'll be referred to a medical team that specializes in the care of renal patients. The nephrologists (doctors who specialize in kidneys), renal nurses, and other medical personnel will monitor you closely. You will have regular appointments at your physician's office or a Dialysis center. Blood and urine tests will be done to determine the function of your kidneys.
When your kidneys have started to fail, waste products accumulate in your blood. Creatinine is one of the waste products that will be monitored on a regular basis. The creatinine level in your blood indicates how well or how poorly your kidneys are working. Your kidneys may be working well enough for you to manage your kidney failure just with medication and regular visits to your nephrologist.
If high blood pressure is the cause of your kidney damage, good blood pressure control can slow or prevent further damage. It can also reduce the risk of damage to your heart and other body organs.
As the kidneys continue to fail, complications such as anemia and renal bone disease may develop, in which case your doctor will discuss a treatment plan based on the results of your laboratory tests. Ask your doctor to help you understand your test results. This is an important step to better health.
How long the early stage of kidney failure lasts depends on how much kidney function you have left when you are diagnosed, and how well you respond to medication and diet therapy. With regular laboratory monitoring, your doctor will be able to predict how your kidneys are responding to treatment.
Chronic kidney disease often progresses from early stage to complete failure. This is known as end-stage renal failure (ESRF) or end-stage renal disease (ESRD). There is currently no cure for this condition and the damage done to the kidneys is irreversible. The medical treatment for complete failure is to replace the lost functions of the kidneys by dialysis or by a kidney transplant.
Dialysis is an artificial process of filtering wastes and removing fluid from the body. There are two kinds: peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis.
A healthy kidney transplanted from a donor functions like a normal kidney. Not everyone is eligible for a kidney transplant and there is a long waiting list for suitable donor kidneys. Kidneys are available from a living donor (who may either be related or non-related to the recipient) or a cadaver (a person who has died). A successful transplant provides much more efficient kidney function than dialysis, so patients feel better and have more energy.
Because of improvements in all the treatment options available, kidney patients today can enjoy an active lifestyle, take care of themselves and feel productive.
Some patients and families may choose to refuse treatment. If left untreated, kidney failure will eventually lead to death.
