How to Know Your Renal Cyst Ruptures
Kidney cyst is a common renal disorder. There can be one or multiple fluid-filled sacs in one or both kidneys. Simple renal cysts seldom cause symptoms, complications or get rupture unless abdominal traumas or it grows big enough to oppress kidney structures and surrounding organs. Multiple cysts in the kidneys have higher risk of rupturing.
Usually when the cyst is larger than 3cm, it will begin to cause dull pains and mild discomforts. Doctors will ask the patients to take regular checks and pay more attention in daily life to avoid strenuous activities, abdominal injuries and tight pants and belts to avoid cyst rupture.
However in some cases, thought it is usually rare, patients might find that the cysts go away in the nest B ultrasound or CT scan. In such case, it might be renal cyst rupture.
Actually cyst rupture is a relatively severe illness condition which might cause a series mild to severe symptoms and complications. Therefore it is necessary to know that are the signs and symptoms of ruptured cysts so as to take some preventive measure and timely treatments.
1. Blood in urine
Blood in urine is called hematuria in clinic. In most cases, the content in renal cysts is yellow or clear fluid and in some rare case, it contains blood. When cyst ruptures, the content will flow out and cause blood in urine. In mild conditions, the blood can only be detected under microscope by a physician and in severe conditions, it can be seen with naked eyes.
2. Pain
Pain is the most common symptom of renal cyst, weather it is ruptured or not. If the cysts do not rupture, the pain can be dull and bearable and in case of cyst rupture, the pain can become sharp and unbearable. The pain can be located in the back, abdomen, flank or hip.
3. Sepsis
If not treated properly and timely, cyst rupture can cause more severe complication such as sepsis. Sepsis can prevent adequate blood supply to organs and cause organ failure. Other symptoms of sepsis include fever, low blood pressure, low pulse rate, decreased urine volume, etc.
Increased pressure due to cyst enlargement and infections are the common causes of renal cyst rupture. Some herbal medicines can help shrink the cyst size and prevent and treat kidney infections so as to lower the risk of cyst rupture and slow down illness progression.

What are Early Signs of Renal Insufficiency
Renal insufficiency is the later stage of chronic kidney disease (CKD) after continuous developments. In clinic, when chronic kidney disease patients get in the renal insufficiency period, this disease is divided into compensated stage, decompensation period, renal failure stage, and uremia stage four periods by the symptoms in clinic and different clinical laboratory indicators.
No matter which period renal insufficiency, early period renal insufficiency or the middle and late period renal insufficiency, this disease does not occur in just one night but is the result of various pathogenic factors effects in long-term. Studies have conformed that there is lacking of sensory nerve. It causes patients feel nothing abnormal after having kidney disease. So, when patients have these symptoms like severe anemia, nausea and vomiting, their life are already in dangerous.
Even the kidney disease develops secretly comparatively, there is still some predicting signals like:
1. Being sleepy, lacking in strength, sallow complexion and poor appetite are the early period expression of renal insufficiency disease and almost 100% patients will have these symptoms. But these symptoms usually are neglected by people, because they often think about these symptoms contacted with simply tiredness. So, for our health we'd better go to hospital and check our kidney function constantly.
2. Hypertension. Because kidney has the function of excretion. When the kidney function was damaged, there will have sodium and water retention. Besides, when the kidney function was damaged, it will secrete some substance to rise blood pressure. Therefore, there are 90% patients have hypertension in the early period of uremia.
3. Dropsy and changes of urine volume. This phenomenon is relatively easy to be detect and it is the later period symptom of kidney failure. At the begging it just occurred in ankle or palpebral ministry, and afterwards it develops into persistent or systemic edema. If the patient have the symptoms like face dropsy, increased bubble urine and deep-colored urine, renal area pain, urine discomfort, find and consult a kidney disease specialist timely. Most of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) patients have little discomfort symptoms but find the disease by physical examination. Actually, by having a regular urine laboratory examination, which is convenient, quick, low cost, most of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) can be checked out.
Is Renal Insufficiency hereditary
Is renal insufficiency hereditary? This is a problem concerned by many patients. People all know that kidney is one of the important organs and one of its function is expelling of toxin. Renal insufficiency is a very serious kidney disease, and serious disease may endanger patient’s life. Recent years, clinical studies have found that many serious illnesses have heredity. So how about renal insufficiency, will this disease be inherited by the offspring?
Renal insufficiency can be caused by kinds of reasons, and renal insufficiency caused by most of reasons has no heredity. However, it is noteworthy that among the renal insufficiency of different etiologies there are a kind of genetic kidney diseases such as polycystic kidney disease (PKD). Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is divided into two types: autosomal dominant polycystic kidney and autosomal recessive polycystic kidney. And the former one is common, while the latter one is rare in clinic. Since this kind of disease has familial aggregation character, renal insufficiency caused by polycystic kidney disease (PKD) has some heredity to some extent. And doctors suggest that if these patients want babies, they should think from the perspective of aristogenesis and take some effective treatment to treat renal insufficiency.
Besides, for patients who have primary hypertension, they should also notice that the occurrence of renal insufficiency caused by hypertension because it is one of the reasons to cause renal insufficiency. Specialists have warned this kind of patients that the inheritance of hypertension may also lead to the renal insufficiency.
Now, we have known about that renal insufficiency has indirect genetic factors. Although it will not inherit renal insufficiency, it will inherit other diseases indirectly. So, if renal insufficiency patients want a happier life and a health family, they should go to a standard hospital and treat it standardly and timely.
What are Four Periods of Your Renal Insufficiency
Renal insufficiency is caused by kinds of reasons. Serious glomerular damage make the body disorder in discharging waste material, regulating water-electrolyte and acid base equilibrium. So it is a kind of clinical syndrome, and it can be divided into acute renal insufficiency (CRI) and chronic renal insufficiency (CRI) or chronic renal failure(CRF). The prognosis of it is serious, which is one of the main diseases threatening people’s life. It has 4 periods.
The first period is renal reserve compensatory stage. Because kidney has a good reserve and compensatory ability, though its function was decreased in clinic, it can meet the common demand to discharge waste material and regulate water-electrolyte. In this period, there is no symptom, and the result of kidney function tests is in the normal range or a little higher.
The second is renal insufficiency stage. In this period, more glomerulus (about 65% to 70%) were damaged. And the kidney has some obstacles in discharging waste material. Creatinine urea nitrogen can be higher or beyond the normal standard. Patients may have anemia, lassitude, weight losing, absent mindedness. But these symptoms are usually neglected. Once patient has dehydration, infection, haemorrhage or other situations, it will show obvious symptoms quickly.
The third period is renal failure stage. In this period, the kidney function is damaged seriously (about 75% to 95%), and it cannot maintain the body's internal environment stable. And their symptoms like fatiguability, lacking instrength, attention-deficit disorder are exacerbated. Their anemia are more obvious, and nocturnal enuresis becomes more. Their serum creatinine and urea nitrogen rose sharply, which is usually together with acidosis. So this period is also called azotemia stage.
The fourth period is uremia period or renal insufficiency end-stage. At this time, glomeruluses were damage more than 95%. There are obvious symptoms like intense nausea and vomit, oliguria, dropsy, malignant hypertension, serious anemia, cutaneous pruritus, urine flavor in mouth.

What Cause Renal Cysts in the Kidney
Renal cysts in the kidneys are cystic masses affecting unilateral or bilateral kidneys and they will obstruct the normal circulations and damage the renal tissues and functions. B ultrasound is the best test for diagnosing and re-examination of kidney cysts because B ultrasound is very simple and will not cause further damages to the kidneys.
It remains unclear weather the cause of renal cysts is congenital or acquired. On one hand, its original might be like that of PKD (a common hereditary disease characterized by numerous cysts in the kidneys), only they vary in degree. On the other hand, animal tests have shown that the tubular obstruction and ischemia can cause simple kidney cyst and this means that it might be caused by acquired factors.
With the continuous growth and enlargement of the cysts, the renal parenchyma can be damaged and if the ureter is oppressed, it can cause hydronephrosis and infections. Acquired kidney cysts are also common among those that have been undergoing long term dialysis.
Anyway, weather the cause is congenital or not, there are many factors in our daily life that can induce renal cysts and worsen its conditions, we need to know these risk factors so as to have effective preventions.
1. Infections. Infections will easily cause endocrine disorder and create internal environment that are favorable for cystic gene mutation and growth of the cysts. And infections in any part of the body will entre into the kidneys through blood circulation. In case of cyst infection, it can worsen the clinical symptoms, promote the cystic growth and aggravate impairments of renal functions.
2. Toxins. The accumulation of toxins in the body can damage many organs and systems which might be life-threatening. Toxins are also major reason of gene mutation and congenital dysplasia. The common toxins include pesticide, chemicals, radiation and pollutions, etc. It needs to be noted that some medicines and drugs have renal toxicity and improper intake can cause irreversible renal damages.
Besides infections and toxins, other factors such as improper diets, over-tiredness and negative emotions all do harms to the cysts and should be avoided. Proper diets and healthy lifestyles can help slow down the growth rate of the cysts and control the illness conditions.
Urinary Tract Infections In Polycystic Kidney Disease
Urinary tract infection is one common complication of polycystic kidney disease. For PKD patients, their urinary tracts are easy to be blocked by continuously enlarged cysts and sometimes by kidney stones. As a result, various bacteria and viruses will stay in the urinary tract and cause infections, back or abdominal pain, fever and in severe conditions perinephric abscess, sepsis, etc.
About 30-50% ADPKD patients (autosomal dominant PKD) will have at least one urinary tract infection in their lifetime. And UTI is more common among women patients because their urethra is short and straight.
If left untreated or if the treatment is improper, it is very painful and will in turn worsen renal functions, therefore early and proper treatment should be sought.
So is there any way that can help PKD patients to get rid of urinary tract infections and polycystic kidney disease? The first step for treating urinary tract infections is to alleviate symptoms and stabilize the illness conditions. Antibiotics will be prescribed by the doctors to relieve the pains, discomforts and prevent further spreading of the infections.
If the infections can not be controlled by antibiotics, urine culture is needed to further make clear the exact type and amount of virus or bacteria in the patients so as to provide more detailed medicines.
Antibiotics can not solve the root problem. What is more, long term intake of antibiotics is not good for the kidneys. To treat urinary tract infections for PKD patients, the most effective and root treatment is to treat the multiple renal cysts in bilateral kidneys.
There are many natural herbal medicines that have antibiotics effects which can help cleanse the kidneys and urinary tract and are very effective at preventing and treating urinary tract infections and help slow down illness progression of polycystic kidney disease. These natural herbs include Uva Ursi, cranberry, dandelion root, etc.
Besides oral intake of natural herbal medicines, there are also external application of Chinese medicines which can help shrink the cysts step by step. The active ingredients can also have the functions of anti-inflammation, anti-coagulation and vasodilation so as to greatly improve renal ischemia and hypoxia and promote kidney functions.
For PKD patients that have had kidney transplant, one major concern is infections among which urinary tract infection is the most common one. Therefore effective prevention and early treatment is very essential. The intake of some natural herbs like cranberry, dandelion root is very beneficial.
Do You Know About Diabetes
Diabetes, also known as diabetes mellitus, means a group of metabolic diseases in which people have high blood sugar. Polyuria, polydipsia, polyphagia and weight loss are the common symptoms of Diabetes. There are three types of Diabetes: Type 1 Diabetes, Type 2 Diabetes and Gestational Diabetes.
What really is fearful is not Diabetes itself, but its complications. After several years of having Diabetes, some complications may occur. Some of them even can be life-threatening. The common complications of Diabetes include cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, nerve disease, eye disease, infections and so on.
If you have Diabetes or prediabetes, a healthy diet can help you control your blood sugar level and keep it within a safe range and manage your weight. Heart-healthy fish, "good fats", fiber-rich foods and healthy carbohydrates are the foods we recommend; sodium, trans fats, cholesterol and saturated fats are the foods diabetics should avoid.
The aim of Diabetes treatment is to keep blood sugar as much as possible. Treatment should be agreed on an individual basis and deal with medical, psychosocial and lifestyle issues. There are several aspects diabetics should pay attention to: balance insulin intake with food and lifestyle, checking blood sugar levels, prevent blood sugar fluctuating too much, prevent developing cardiovascular disease, stop smoking and so on.
Diabetics usually ignore the importance of Chinese herbal medicine on treating Diabetes. Chinese herbal medicine can expand blood vessels and promote blood circulation, which has a real effect on blood pressure and blood sugar control.

How to Increase Dialysis Patients’ Urine Output
What is the effect of dialysis on urine output?
Patients with Kidney Failure have decreased urine output. Once the patient goes on dialysis, the urine output gradually decreases over a period of time. However, patients on peritoneal dialysis usually retain their urine output for a longer time. The decreased urine output is caused by the continue loss of kidney function. Dialysis is unable to treat any kinds of kidney diseases, but partly replace the functions of kidneys.
How to Increase Dialysis Patients’ Urine Output?
Compared with patients on hemodialysis, patients on peritoneal dialysis would need less restriction on fluid intake. But once the urine output decreases markedly, one would need to be cautious in their daily fluid intake so as to avoid fluid retention.
With the recovery of kidney function, more and more urine output will be produced. Natural Immune Balance Therapy will be recommended to help recover kidney function. This treatment is based on traditional Chinese medicine and modern immunity. And it contains 8 detailed therapies, such as Classical Prescription,Immune Balance Liquid, Ion Superconducting, Deep Magnetic Wave, Fumigation and Moxibustion Therapy, Injection to Acupuncture Point, Pulsating Therapy, and Traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine Application. With Traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine Application, a bag filled with Chinese herbal medicines will be put under the lower back of patients, then with the help of osmosis device, the active materials of Chinese herbal medicines can directly get to kidneys and begin to come into play. This treatment repairs kidney damage and recovers kidney function by a series of functions like anti-inflammation, anti-coagulation, degradation, extending blood vessels, promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis and providing nutrition for damaged kidneys.

What have the drugs you are eating done to your kidneys
Kidney is the main excretory organs, it is a regulation organs at the same time, through the secretion of hormone kind material to adjust the body's metabolism, the integrity of the renal function is closely related to the environmental balance in body, kidney in metabolism, waste discharge, and components of extracellular fluid volume adjustment, electrolyte and acid-base balance plays a very important role.
Kidney also synthesize and release hormones and active substances. Drug damage will result in the damaged kidneys, and has a serious effect on whole body metabolism.
Renal toxicity of clinical manifestations of weight is differ, the earliest symptoms for proteinuria and urine tube type, which in turn can happen n qualitative hematic disease, renal impairment, serious when can appear acute renal failure and uremia. Available for transient renal toxicity, can also be used for permanent damage. Common drugs can cause renal toxicity has certain antibacterial, antitumor drug, antipyretic analgesic anti-inflammatory drug, drug, iodide contrast agents, lithium carbonate and triamterene, etc.
1. direct renal toxicity of a variety of drugs in blood into the renal filtration and could easily be concentration, concentration of renal tissues significantly higher than that of other organs, especially the malpighian tube and the concentration of the renal tubules surrounding more than other groups. Therefore, renal tubular cells
Contact with the concentration of the drug is higher than other cells. High metabolic activity of renal tubular cells, increased renal tubular damage susceptibility to drugs, getting the drug to the kidney injury often results in changes in the structure and function of renal tubules. All kinds of drugs through different mechanisms of injury kidney, its strength depends on the length of contact the concentration of the drug, sustained and kidney drug susceptibility and resistance factors.
2. lead to damage to the kidneys and kidney ischemia drugs in addition to direct effects on the kidney cells, also related to the drug-induced renal ischemia, interaction between them.
3. immune inflammatory reaction of certain drugs and its degradation products with the host protein (protein), renal tubule and renal interstitial interaction, change the structure of host proteins, making it a hapten and antigen, induction of antibodies and antigen antibody complex formation, deposition in the glomerular capillary basement membrane and small arteries in the basal membrane. Moreover, necrosis of renal tubule epithelial cells may also be antigen, the autoantibodies to form, also can through the antigen antibody complex mechanisms that lead to renal tubule and renal interstitial lesions.
4 some drug deposition clog renal tubules obstructive nephropathy, calyces and renal pelvis or ureter, can cause the crystals nephropathy, acute obstructed kidney damage caused by urinary tract obstruction, renal tubular epithelial cells degeneration and necrosis accompanied by renal interstitial cells infiltrating
PKD (polycystic kidney disease) correct nursing methods
1, scientific and medical treatment, active treatment: polycystic kidney disease is a genetic disease, many patients with polycystic liver, half of the patients with high blood pressure, they generate will continue to oppress kidney tissue, leading to kidney blood circulation suffocate suffocate, some ischemia anoxic condition, renal hypertension, renal function and tissue damage, and is progressive.
2, can be appropriately to participate in some entertainment activities, but should prevent lumbar abdomen crushing collisions, lest cyst rupture bleeding. Was the person that weigh needs to stay in bed.
3, polycystic kidney disease should be a message of oral care: after breakfast and dinner should keep oral hygiene, remove bad breath, reduce nausea, prevent mildew and bacteria proliferation.
4, polycystic kidney failure patients should keep message out, feel better, cooperate with treatment, establish the confidence of conquer disease.
5, promote the polycystic kidney patients body and mind rest: renal hypertensive patient should be measuring blood pressure regularly, can according to the change of blood pressure in patients with bed rest of time.
6, the polycystic kidney patients should strengthen skin care. Patients with chronic renal failure, prevent bedsore and infections is important, because the urine of frost deposit has stimulation to the skin, the patient will often feel itching discomfort, and can seriously affect the patient's sleep, and it is easy to happen after catch broken skin infection, therefore, should be diligent with warm water to scrub the skin, please remember to keep the polycystic kidney patients but disable soap and alcohol scrub

is it serious of PKD patients with 5 cm kidney cyst
All the occurrence of kidney disease is caused by renal fibrosis and renal cyst type cyst of kidney disease is a progressive development, no obvious symptoms early, not easy to be found, such as symptoms generally is more serious, as the cyst grew up arbitrarily, cause severe oppression original kidney inherent cells function, disease is extremely easy to uremia.
Slow development of renal cyst, belong to chronic diseases, the injury is related to renal fibrosis, can only protect the renal function, blocking its development to avoid injury, damage, and apoptosis.
Renal cysts can grow along with the age, small renal capsule swelling between 3-5 cm, it is in a critical period of treatment of renal cyst, need to take treatment. When renal cyst has developed to a certain extent, the patient will feel occasionally lumbar discomfort, renal cyst has begun to damage of renal intrinsic cells, clinical urine test will find urine protein +, + +, occult blood. This kind of situation is not eating and exercise rehabilitation can solve, must need to treatment, to control the rate of cyst development, and to avoid a series of complications. If miss this time, kidney function will be threatened, and treatment, eliminate bigger cyst relative to eliminate small cyst has certain difficulty.
Renal capsule swelling in 5 cm, the patient can feel obvious waist pain, most patients with nocturia increased, the phenomenon of urgency, frequent urination, even some patients renal area can solution in vitro and to bag piece. At this time of the treatment of renal cyst and renal function has been damaged phenomenon, is some better late than never. Unfortunately at present western medicine treatment, however, this road only surgery, and 5 cm below the renal cyst is not treated. Such as renal cyst grow to be 5 cm after surgery, has missed the best time to treat cysts, and after surgical treatment of cyst, because of the cyst growth mechanism still exists, it is easy to relapse. So, now need to seize the treatment timing, Chinese medicine treatment.
Treatment, on the choice of methods, attention should be paid to improve the renal internal environment, repair damaged kidney cells, effectively control the illness not let cyst continue to grow and gradually improve the growth environment of the cyst, shrink cysts. Natural Immune Balance Therapy can help you do this. Want to know more? please enter http://www.eshine-kidney.com/
The above is explanation of is it serious of PKD patients with 5 cm kidney cyst. Yes, it has serious effect to people's normal life, so, we must be doubly pay attention to in our daily life, avoid to cause the disadvantageous factors of kidney disease。
how long could polycystic kidney disease patients live
Polycystic kidney belongs to genetic disease. First of all, for polycystic kidney disease can live how long associated with disease severity. Although light condition generally no treatment, but the polycystic kidney will continue to progress, and also may soon will progress into uremia period, affect the life. Let's to look at, polycystic kidney can live long.
1, adult polycystic kidneys with multiple cysts from birth, but there are a lot of patients without clinical symptoms, onset, temporarily without special treatment.
2, the more general to the adults started to clinical symptoms after 30 years of age. The heavier the earlier onset age, clinical symptoms, the late onset age, clinical symptoms are relatively mild, men over women.
3, about 30% of patients with polycystic kidney associated with polycystic liver. But the liver function is normal, also do not have any symptoms. Spleen, pancreas, lung, ovarian cyst, etc will exist, about 2% of intracranial vascular malformation and aneurysms can occur, easily lead to intracranial hemorrhage.
4. From the onset of symptoms to renal failure for an average of more than 10 years.
Polycystic kidney disease can live how long with the habits and customs also has a direct relationship. Dietary appropriate is delicate easy digest, polycystic kidney patients avoid seafood, beef, lamb, hot excitant food, wine and all hair content, such as: wait spiced aniseed, coffee, parsley, etc. Should eat fresh vegetables and fruit, proper drinking water. All diet supplements, tonic, and easy to heat food, such as pepper, lychee, chocolate, etc. Don't eat and drink too much, don't eat unclean food. In life, don't too overworked, avoid illness develop further.
Polycystic kidney disease can live how long also has relationship with treatment. Natural Immune Balance Therapy is based on traditional Chinese medication and modern immunity system. It is a series of therapy, which can help you to decrease cyst and balance your immune ability to prevent the relapse of PKD.
how kidneys patients prevent flu
1, daily use vinegar fumigation 15-20 minutes indoors, can kill or inhibit bacteria bedroom.
2, drugs wipe method: daily morning night cool or wind or when going out with a few coated on both sides of the forehead and nose lips can prevent colds.
3, cold LianRe foot method: daily morning evening wash a face with cold water, hot water washing the feet can improve the body resistance.
4, hot air blowing method: the beginning of a cold, hair dryer available to the temple to blow 3-5 minutes, several times a day, can reduce symptoms to accelerate recovery.
5, drink ginger tea method: sugar with ginger and brown sugar boiled water for tea drinking can effectively prevent a cold.
6, breathing heat steam method: pour boiling water in the cup to do deep breathing several times until the water in the cup cold day, the incipient cold effect is well.
7, massage prevention method: two hands to rub, palm massage after hot yingxiang point (located in the nasal ditch, cross in the outer point) more than ten times.
8, prevention, medication method: during the flu epidemic season can take some drugs do preventive measures.
9, brine gargle method: daily morning and evening, after dinner with weak brine gargle, removal of bacteria in the mouth.

What Causes Nephrotic syndrome
Nephrotic syndrome is caused by different disorders that damage the kidneys. This damage leads to the release of too much protein in the urine.
The most common cause in children is minimal change disease. Membranous glomerulonephritis is the most common cause in adults.
This condition can also occur from:
Cancer
Diseases such as diabetes, systemic lupus erythematosus, multiple myeloma, and amyloidosis
Genetic disorders
Immune disorders
Infections (such as strep throat, hepatitis, or mononucleosis)
Use of certain drugs
It can occur with kidney disorders such as:
Focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis
Glomerulonephritis
Mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis
Nephrotic syndrome can affect all age groups. In children, it is most common between ages 2 and 6. This disorder occurs slightly more often in males than females.

Why kidney patients nausea and vomiting
Kidney disease, common symptoms are nausea and vomiting, which is caused by digestive system dysfunction. So kidney disease patients is necessary
Solution, why will appear the symptoms of nausea and vomiting. Below will introduce you to what appear nausea and vomiting.
(1) the hyponatremia. Kidney disease (CKD) in serum sodium can be caused by various reasons below 130 umol/L .
A. Water retention in the body or excess fluids and cause dilution hyponatremia.
B.Avoid salt for a long time.
C.Metabolic acidosis, extracellular sodium transferred to the cells.
D. Some interstitial renal diseases, renal tubular reabsorption of sodium, sodium by urine increased.
E. Long-term inappropriate application of diuretics, etc. Hyponatremia patients can appear nausea and vomiting.
(2) nephritis, nephropathy after cyclophosphamide treatment, patients often nausea, vomiting, now is this drug caused damage to the liver function, from the medical history and detection in patients with liver function indicators, can make the right judgment. Disable cyclophosphamide, liver meritorious service is gradually restored, nausea and vomiting also disappear.
(3) the metabolic acidosis. Patients with chronic renal failure due to the acidic metabolites can't normal delivery, hence formed accumulation body acidosis. By detecting the blood pH value and blood carbon dioxide binding force to the degree to which acidosis. Patients can appear when acidosis sigh breath, nausea and vomiting.
(4) the nephrotic syndrome, due to the loss of large amounts of protein, hypoalbuminemia, patients not only body appears edema, and also appears edema, gastrointestinal tract digestive function disorder, visible clinical manifestations of nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. TCM holds that resistance in the wet muddy, gastric estrangement. Once the urine volume increased, the gastrointestinal edema eased, nausea and subsequently reduce the disease.
(5) in chronic renal failure, the urea urea enzyme in gastrointestinal bacteria decomposition of ammonia, stimulate the gastrointestinal mucosa inflammation or ulcer; Uremic toxins, especially in molecular substances affect cell metabolism, leading to cell edema; Renal impairment affect gastric secrete element of excretion and the deactivation, forming high low stomach acid gastric secrete element etc, all can lead to digestive function disorder, nausea and vomiting.
Through clinical observation, the weight of the digestive system symptoms, and the degree of renal damage and urea nitrogen values of high and low, basic is the same. Thus it can be seen that these symptoms is the most main is the treatment for kidney disease.
Good effect and Side effects of stem cell transplantation
Good effect of transplantation of stem cells to treat kidney disease
(1) stem cell therapy is a kind of new treatments. For many diseases can be independently used, and the effect is obvious.
(2)for early phase of primary nephrotic patients, application of stem cell therapy as treatment in a timely manner, in place, and able to work closely with other
Treatment, clinical index could reach overcast, kidney cells to repair properly.
(3) for secondary kidney disease, stem cells to the curative effect of early treatment will make the primary disease and the disease will improve.
(4) stem cell therapy has obvious curative effect to uremia complications, such as acid-base imbalance, liquid water metabolic imbalances, endocrine regulation imbalance, sleepless, nausea and vomiting, reducing cardiovascular symptoms, etc.
Side effects of stem cell transplantation treatment
Stem cell transplantation to treat disease 4-6 times per course of treatment and interval of 5 to 7 days, in principle, each treatment interval time is 3 to 6 months, curative effect is obvious visual condition for 2-3 period of treatment. Stem cell transplantation therapy have any side effects. Up to now
Today, stem cell transplant treatment has yet to cause significant side effects or adverse reactions. But any kind of therapy may have side effects, side effects so I can't sure won't happen, but until now, haven't found any serious side effects. only
Individual patients after lumbar puncture puncture pain, mild dizziness, headache, and low-grade fever, etc.

Lower Creatinine 4 to Normal by Homeopathic Medicines
Creatinine is the byproduct of creatine which is an important part in muscle. Heathy kidney can filter blood and help the body get rid of the wastes and extra fluid.A normal result of creatinine is 0.7 to 1.3 mg/dL for men and 0.6~1.1mg/dL for women.If your creatinine increases to 4,it is nearly 3 times higher than the normal range.It indicates your kidneys are impaired significantly.
Homeopathic treatment is a holistic system of treatment that originated from Germany.It can be used to treat kidney disease and lower high creatinine. What homeopathic medicines can lower creatinine 4 to normal?
Homeopathic medicines follow an individualistic approach towards patients suffering from chronic renal failure.So a particular line of treatment is adopted in different cases.Homeopathic medicines perform the following roles in treating Kidney Disease.
*Relieving the following symptoms: Loss of Appetite, Nausea, Vomiting, Fever, Bone pains, Lethargy, Dyspepsia, Belching, Abdominal Blotting
*Slowing renal function deterioration
The advocates of homeopathy believe that homeopathic medicines can stimulate the body’s immune system to repair the kidneys. However, there is no solid proof for it.
While homeopathic medicine is a very friendly system of treatment,but it can have surprising and dangerous side effects.So you should never use any medicines without consulting a professional homeopath.
Is there any other treatment to lower creatinine 4? Natural Immune Balance Therapy is a recommended treatment.It is an external therapy based on traditional Chinese medicine and modern immunity. Natural Immune Balance Therapy contain 8 detailed therapy to adjust your internal environment, repair your kidneys and help them to regain their own function. This therapy can control the symptoms and lower creatinine 4 by restoring the impaired kidney and improving renal function. Any question related to kidney health is welcomed here.

foods and drinks for high uric acid disease patients
Q: My father suffers from high uric acid disease, I read the newspaper and know the purine of meat and they should not eat. The purine content of vegetables is lower than the meat, can vegetables be more safely?
A: A high uric acid hematic disease patients do need to pay attention to diet, eat the food of high purine content control. Not only meat contains a large number of purine, vegetables also divided into rich in purines and contains no (or little) two major types of purines, vegetables rich in purines would also increase the risk. In addition, patients have to choose drinks.
Vegetables, beans high purine
Rich in purines vegetables are peas, beans, lentils, cauliflower, spinach, mushrooms, etc., high blood uric acid and gout patients should eat less these vegetables.
And other vegetables can eat daily, especially the celery. Sun Jingbo said, celery is a natural antioxidant, have lower levels of uric acid in the body effect.
In addition to vegetables, patients with high uric acid hematic disease also can feed more dairy products, grains, eggs, this kind of food purine content is low. Research has shown that eating more had a 44% lower risk of gout.
Beverages: sugar drinks cause illness
Vegetables are dangerous, high-sugar drinks and alcohol drinks are also dangerous. High sugar drinks are the main factors that lead to gout, drink 2 times a day or less drinking 1 times a month had a 85% higher risk of gout. Similarly, add fructose is best not to eat food of high uric acid hematic disease patients, such as candy, jelly, jam; Besides, alcohol also increases the generating and inhibiting renal excretion of uric acid, uric acid in the body, for example, if drink a can of beer a day, with a 49% increased risk of gout.
And drink that are beneficial in patients with high uric acid hematic disease. Water helps the body to discharge in vitro purines. The abroad study also showed that the tea to lower blood uric acid level also to have certain benefits.

Can Cordyceps Sinensis Promote Kidney Health
Cordyceps sinensis is one of the most valued medicinal fungi in all Chinese medicines, and also one of the most expensive. Although used in China for over 2000 years, it was only recently brought to attention of the United States at the 1993.
Cordyceps sinensis has been widely used to treat renal dysfunction, renal failure, glomerulonephritis, nephropyelitis, nephrotic syndrome, diabetic nephropathy, hypertensive nephropathy, gouty nephropathy and many other kidney problems.
The health benefits of cordyceps sinensis for renal failure patients include: it can supply the patients with essential amino acids, regulate protein metabolism, regulate calcium, phosphorus and other electrolytes, supply trace elements, improve immune functions.
Cordyceps sinensis contains more than 10 kinds of amino acids and 6 are essential amino acids. Combined with low-protein diets, it can help promote protein synthesis, reduce creatinine and urea in the blood.
It can regulate the metabolism of calcium and phosphorus. Effective control of high blood phosphorus can help slow down the deterioration of illness conditions.
Natural cordyceps contains 15 kinds of trace elements which helps promote protein synthesis and ease symptoms of kidney failure.
Cordyceps sinensis can affect protein metabolism, reduce the production of protein-related wastes and toxins. This helps significantly lower the levels of serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen.
It can help regulate immune disorders and immune dysfunctions. After taking cordyceps sinensis for a period of time, immune system can be enhanced. The functions of cellular immunity, humoral immunity and natural killer cells can be intensified.
Cordyceps sinensis can help slow down the illness progression and protect renal functions. Researches have found that the cordyceps polysaccharide can effectively remove immune complexes in the glomerular filtration membrane so as to improve GFR and recover renal functions. When renal functions are improved, high serum creatinine, high blood urea nitrogen, protein in urine will be reduced. Symptoms such as swelling, hematuria can be eliminated.
Cordycepic acid can improve microcirculation and increase blood flow to the kidneys, promote the regeneration of renal tubules and the recovery of renal atrophy, improve renal hypertension and renal anemia.
For dialysis patients, cordyceps sinensis can help relieve the side effect of dialysis and gradually reduce the frequency of dialysis when kidney functions are gradually improved.
Nephritis Patients Should Pay Attention To
1. establish the confidence of fighting disease: chronic nephritis duration long, easy to break out repeatedly, patients should be encouraged to strengthen their confidence to fight disease, closely cooperate with treatment, strive for an early recovery.
2. rest and work: once the diagnosis of patients with chronic nephritis, in the early stages, regardless of symptom severity, should give priority to with rest, active treatment, observation patient's condition on a regular basis. Such as improved, edema, fade, returned to normal or near normal blood pressure, urinary protein and red blood cell and all kinds of tube type trace, kidney function is stable, then after 3 months can begin to work in the light, avoid strong manual labor, prevent the happening of the respiratory tract and urinary tract infections. Activity should slowly increase gradually, in order to promote physical recovery. Whoever there is blood in the urine, a large number of proteinuria, edema, or high blood pressure, or patients with progressive renal function decline, all should stay in bed, active treatment.
3. diet: acute, chronic nephritis edema or high blood pressure should limit salt intake, daily 2 ~ 4 g is advisable. Highly edema should be controlled below 2 g per day, and all kinds of pickle all should diet, stay edema subsided after sodium salt and then gradually increased. In addition to significant edema water quantity should not be restricted. Low plasma protein and nitrogen free qualitative hematic disease should eat high protein diet, daily protein should be in 60 ~ 80 g or higher. Appear when nitrogen qualitative hematic disease, should limit the total protein intake, 40 g per day here, supply high quality protein, rich in essential amino acid total calories should be around 0.146 kJ/kg body weight, diet supplement nutrition and vitamins, fruits and vegetables are unlimited.
4. disable the renal toxicity of drugs.

Why high blood pressure with diabetes mellitus can cause kidney damage
Ms, 48 years old, too fat. Type 2 diabetes for many years, unstable blood glucose, blood pressure is high low, irregular medication. Physical examination findings: retinal arteriolar moderate stenosis, belongs to the fundus change Ⅱ level high blood pressure. Serum creatinine and 24 hour albumin increased, belongs to the diabetic nephropathy Ⅱ period.
About 20% of the patients with type 2 diabetes will merge kidney disease. Should attach great importance to the examination of renal function. Creatinine and proteinuria is important indicator of renal function, blood biochemical and can in routine urine examination. Serum creatinine and albuminuria than ms results suggest she has mild renal damage, now is still in the stage of could be reversed, as long as active treatment, can be restored.
Ms wan mergers increased renal damage of hypertension. High blood pressure can make the renal artery blood wall harden, vascular stenosis, when only 30% of normal blood vessel diameter, can stimulate the body is secreted renin, excess causing the renin - angiotensin aldosterone system (RAAS), angiotensin Ⅱ is produced. A strong vasoconstrictor angiotensin Ⅱ role, enables the aldosterone secretion increased, thus reducing the kidney to discharge water, increase the blood volume, further raise blood pressure. Blood vessels are more narrow, renin hormones such as produce, the more the higher blood pressure levels, "the renin - angiotensin - - high blood pressure - aldosterone renin" a vicious cycle.
If condition can not get effective control, the vascular lumen stenosis, renal tissue ischemia oxygen for a long time, can appear kidney atrophy, cause your kidneys to lose normal function, eventually lead to renal failure, uremia. In patients with hypertension combined renal function damage, therefore, when choosing antihypertensive drugs, drugs should be considered whether a vicious circle caused by hormones such as renin has blocking effects.
why diabetes with high blood pressure can cause eye problems
Diabetes often easy to merge high blood pressure. At that time, people tend to be more worried about coronary heart disease, cerebral infarction and hypertension are closely related to the two diseases. In fact, in addition to easy sad brain injury, hypertension patients is easily formulated kidney injury. Early just because of fast development, and hidden, often there is no outstanding performance, so it's easy to be ignored. Wait to have the feeling to go to the hospital inspection, often have been developed in middle-late, more serious.
Ms, 48 years old, too fat. Type 2 diabetes for many years, unstable blood glucose, blood pressure is high low, irregular medication. Physical examination findings: retinal arteriolar moderate stenosis, belongs to the fundus change Ⅱ level high blood pressure. Serum creatinine and 24 hour albumin increased, belongs to the diabetic nephropathy Ⅱ period.
Why do fundus artery damage
Early hypertension damage to organs, main performance for different levels of small artery damage. Eye is one of the most densely populated small artery distribution organs, so fundus is easy to "hurt". In addition, the diabetes is one of the factors of patients with retinal vascular damage. Diabetic retinopathy is the most common microvascular complications, the incidence of a disease related to such factors as the history of diabetes and blood sugar control level. If blood glucose control is not good, more than 10 years history, more than half of the patients will have varying degrees of retinopathy, and diabetic retinopathy is one of the leading cause of blindness in patients with diabetes.
Check is not complicated. Regular eye exams can judge the disease, and thus presumably other organs small artery lesion severity.
According to the damage from light to heavy, fundus changes were divided into 4 we usually have high blood pressure. The higher the level, the heavier damage, the patient's overall condition is poorer. Ⅳ fundus changes in patients, the survival time is generally more than 5 years.
Thousands of women are hypertension grade Ⅱ fundus change, and her blood pressure control is closely related to make for a long time. Now her fundus change degree is not very serious, affect vision is not large, but should pay great attention to. We will strictly control blood glucose, blood pressure, prevent eye damage further.

Under What Circumstances Need Kidney dialysis? Dialysis can interrupt?
Kidney dialysis under what circumstances need to? Dialysis can interrupt? Why is that?
1. acute renal failure hemodialysis indications:
(1) no or little urine urine 2 3.
(2) the daily weight gain of more than 2.0 kg
(3) with edema, pulmonary edema, pleural effusion.
(4) uremia symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, bleeding tendency and nervous and mental symptoms.
(5)Serum creatinine acuity 530.4 mol/L or blood urea nitrogen or greater tendency for 21.42 mol/L; Or serum urea nitrogen daily rise or greater tendency for 10.71 mol/L, the serum potassium rises daily amount > tendency for 1.0 mol/L.
(6) Potassium > tendency for 6.0 mmol/L.
All landowners serum HCO3 < 15 mmol/l.
Acute renal failure who comply with the above indications should be dialysis as soon as possible, and early preventive dialysis can prevent all sorts of complications, and is also the key to the success of treatment.
2 the hemodialysis for chronic renal failure indications:
(1) can't correct electrolyte and acid-base balance.
(2) there is central or peripheral nerve damage, and people with mental disabilities.
(3) there are systemic edema, pulmonary edema.
(4) serum creatinine 707.2 gmol/L or higher, or blood urea nitrogen or greater tendency for 28.56 mmol/L; Or endogenous creatinine clearance rate (Ccr) 10-15 ml/min or less.
(5) potassium > tendency for 6.5 mmol/L.
Conform to the two above, all can consider hemodialysis. But also should be considered in patients with primary disease, clinical situation, the degree of anemia, heart function and to determine the urine volume. Dialysis patients should match the corresponding drug treatment, in order to reduce dialysis or after index is relatively stable to have the opportunity to stop the dialysis, dialysis for a long time is irreversible kidney gradually atrophic, only rely on dialysis
Many people think that there was no treatment value of chronic renal failure, uremia, speech but uremia patients should not give up hope, as long as you choose a good hospital, choose standard good expert, adopt the most effective treatment, can get rid of kidney disease of kidney disease patients.
What is Early Male Kidney Disease Symptoms
As we all know, kidney disease is a common disease, want to prevent kidney disease since childhood into a serious illness, you need people to understand the early symptoms of kidney disease, especially men, pay more attention to, seize the kidney disease, get rid of the disease at an early date.
Male kidney disease early symptoms are all male friend to understand, men with chronic kidney disease when before the onset of the disease mainly characterized by "three low", "three highs", the high prevalence of comorbid cardiovascular disease incidence, high case fatality rate; Society of chronic kidney disease in low awareness, low FangZhiLv awareness is low, with blood disease.
People over 40, according to the survey, the prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is more than 10%, the witting rate was less than 5%. In glomerulonephritis patients with chronic kidney disease is more, accounting for 40%. With the change of the diet structure and life habits, other secondary to chronic kidney disease (CKD) is increasing. Combined with the existing medical level is limited, which leads to the prevention and treatment of chronic kidney disease situation faced with severe challenges.
Early symptoms of a larger feature of male nephritis is oliguria, sometimes with edema appeared at the same time. Some will appear blood in the urine, this is generally more mature men. Acute nephritis oliguria and edema appeared at the same time, and the urine color depth, the daily urine output can be less than 400 ml, individual patient even anuresis. Another about a third of the patients can appear blood in the urine, the naked eye can be found a thick dark brown color of urine, general sustainable for days or even weeks. Radical nephritis have oliguria characteristics, at the same time, with early onset symptoms such as nausea, fatigue and loss of appetite. Nephritis infringement more mature men. Chronic nephritis of urine, also low proportion.
, experts say, in general, when there is a night urine increased, there are large amounts of foam in urine, or in the urine appear red, routine urine examination found red blood cells and urine were proteinuria, may be the early symptoms of chronic nephritis warning signs. Men's health should not be ignored, kidney an organ is very important for us, if you have any unclear problem can leave a message.
Eating Wrong Fruits Can Aggravate Your Illness
When you go to the hospital to visit a patient, a basket of fresh fruit is always the healthiest choices. For some patients, however, the basket of colorful fruits, maybe some are not suitable for yourself to eat. Patients, therefore, in addition to the daily diet should pay attention to, learn to choose to suit their own fruit, to regulate the body also is very helpful.
Contained different kinds of fruit, fructose, potassium, saturated fat is not the same. Chronic diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure, kidney disease, patients with hypercholesterolemia eat fruit, wrong can aggravating illness.
While for high cholesterol levels, this kind of high-fiber food fruit and vegetables is a good choice, but some fatty fruits also need careful, including durian, coconut, avocado, etc. The fruits and butter, lard, with large amounts of saturated fatty acids also increase total cholesterol in the blood and the "bad cholesterol" levels, lead to vascular embolism. Calculate the fat content will be found that the three fruit insanely high oil content.
Durian: every 100 grams contains 5.3 grams of fat, is equivalent to a teaspoon of cooking oil.
Coconut: computing, with large 1 cm thick coconut flesh contains about 15 grams of fat. However, drinking coconut water is another matter. Every 240 ml coconut water contains no cholesterol, containing 0.5 grams of fat. Just sugar on the high side, diabetic patients had better drink less.
Avocado: every 100 grams (about half) containing 15 grams of fat, also is surprisingly high.
In addition, the fruit of water soluble fiber helps clear bad cholesterol from the body. Therefore, high-fiber fruits such as orange, apple, pear, etc., can eat more.
Sentimental Women Prone to Kidney
Protect renal protection is the responsibility of men and women, the young and old. Reporter has learned from each big hospital urology department, due to the modern women, survival pressure, general office use air conditioning lead to the dry air turbidity, and low immunity and physiological characteristics of women themselves, cause inflammation in the kidney weakness, in younger women is higher and higher proportion.
First of all, the lower the immunity of the women relative to men, some autoimmune diseases, such as lupus erythematosus, dermatomyositis, most disease in young women. As the change of modern social environment, this kind of immune disease has high incidence. After when the immune system is damaged, kidney also inevitably suffer.
In addition, because of the female urethra is wide and straight, directly to the bladder, easy to cause infection, cystitis, urethritis disease rate is very high also, chronic illness if not controlled, will reverse lead to nephritis. So, women are born kidney diseases of high incidence.
Sentimental modern women are under the unprecedented pressure of competition, and the young white-collar workers bear the brunt, while women and easy sentimental, so young women was the most unstable mood of a group. Long-term in a depressed mood, the body's immunity is also affected, kidney and gradually loss may be enough.

Overeating Tofu can Cause Kinds of Disease
Bean curd and bean curd products contain high content soy protein , and bean curd proteins are completely plant protein, not only contain human body must be of the eight kinds of amino acids, and its proportion was close to human needs, nutrition effect higher price. Bean curd also contain adipose, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals. Although bean curd is good, excessive will endanger health, lead to the following disease.
1. Prompted kidney function decline. In normal circumstances, people eat into the body of plant proteins after metabolic changes, and finally become waste most of nitrogen, the kidney ruled out of the body. People to the old, and the ability of renal excretion waste, then if no attention to diet, eating plenty of bean curd excessive intake of plant sex protein, resulting in the body of the generation of nitrogen increased waste, add to the kidney burden, renal further recession, is not conducive to health.
2. Cause indigestion. Tofu contains rich protein, a eat too much not only stunts the human body to absorb iron, and easy to cause the protein indigestion, appear abdominal distension and diarrhea symptoms.
3. Prompted atherosclerosis formation. American medical experts point out that, bean products contains abundant methionine, methionine in under the action of enzymes can be transformed into homocysteine. Cysteine will damage the artery wall endothelial cells, easy to cause the cholesterol and triglyceride deposition in the artery wall, make atherosclerosis formation.
4. Lead to iodine deficiency. Production of soy bean curd contains a soap Angle that with the material, it can not only prevent sclerosis of arterial congee appearance, but also can promote the body the excretion of iodine. Long-term excessive eating tofu is easy to cause iodine deficiency, lead to edible.
5. prompted gout attacks. Bean curd including purine more, purine metabolic disorders gout patients and blood uric acid concentration of serum patients feed more easy to gout attack, especially gout patients to eat less.
Visible, bean curd is good, also should not be food every day, an edible also don't excessive. The elderly and kidney disease, iron deficiency anemia, gout disease, arteriosclerosis more patients to control measure.
Edema Appears,what should patients do
Kidney is the main organ to discharge water from body. When people get kidney disease, water cannot be eduction body outside, inside the storage trade in the body, known as renal edema. Edema were the most common symptoms of kidney disease, light person eyelid and facial edema, the person that weigh anasarca, and pleural effusion or ascites. The degree of edema can be light or heavy, no one could see light person edema, weight gain or only slightly swelling eyelid in the morning. The person that weigh can whole body edema, even with chest and abdominal cavity effusion, cause weight gain tens of kilograms (severe edema). The most common should be refers to pitting edema, use finger to press down and you will see a depressed.
When appear edema,patients should also pay attention to diets on the points:
Limited water, sodium, and protein intake
1, protein intake
Severe edema associated with hypoalbuminemia patients, can give 1 g of protein per kilogram of body weight daily, more than 60% of high quality protein, mild-to-moderate edema daily per kilogram of body weight 0.5 ~ o. 6 g protein, protein and there must be adequate caloric intake, daily 125.5 ~ 146.4 kJ/kg (30 ~ 35 kcal/kg).
2, water, salt
Mild edema, urine volume & gt; 1000 ml/d, need not too much water, sodium restricted within the 3 g/d, including sodium foods and beverages. Serious edema with oliguria daily water intake should be limited within the 1000 ml, giving salt-free diet (as sodium content in every day & lt; 700 mg).
Why can't nephritis patients eat kimchi
Over the years, the streets of kimchi belong to hot food, but, you know, not every a person's physical fitness can withstand of pickle.
Known in China in recent years, south Korean kimchi street lane heard, south Korean kimchi spicy crunchy, is a good meal and appetizers. Summer hot, inappetence, normal people have about food choices also prefer vegetables rather than meat. We all know, patients with chronic nephritis had a strict dietary requirements. So, nephritis patients can eat kimchi?
SARS wreak havoc around the world, the only South Korea southeast Asia to survive, a lot of people in the study after the eating habits of all countries, the phenomenon is due to kimchi. Authentic kimchi pickled mature, containing about one hundred million per gram of lactic acid bacteria, lactic acid four times the highest can achieve the same weight, intestines and stomach has a lot of benefits for human. However, patients with nephritis had better not eat kimchi, reasons are as follows:
1, belongs to food of pickled kimchi, the salt. Nephritis patients should strictly control the intake of salt, because the excretion of sodium will add to the kidney function, serious can cause renal toxicity.
2, kimchi, fake and inferior products. Since south Korean kimchi is popular, the streets of China are beginning to sell pickles, many supermarkets also have packaged kimchi for sale, however, there are many fake and inferior products. In 2009, several media reports, pickled vegetables sold in the supermarkets no hygiene license, wrap instructions are Korean, no preservatives. Some undesirable businessman in order to profit retention, shorten the fermentation of pickles using chemicals. To enter these pickles will aggravate the burden of kidney function, serious harm human health.
3, nephritis patients diet has many taboos. South Korean kimchi in kidney disease (CKD) are not to eat many things, such as ginger, mushroom, bamboo shoot, tofu skin, etc.

Symptoms of Female Kidney Disease
In recent years, the female is of frequent occurrence of nephrotic group, visible, along with the increasing of kidney disease, women pay close attention to this problem of people more and more, so, what are women's symptoms of kidney disease? Women suffering from kidney disease more common in clinic, but also women suffering from kidney disease in number as male patients with kidney disease, on account of the quickening pace of modern life, and the stress at work, women are easy to suffer from kidney disease, but many women when found kidney disease in patients with nephropathy, nephropathy has been late for the development of severe kidney disease, what is this?
We know in the clinical symptoms of kidney disease, general is relatively hidden, so it is very difficult lead to early symptoms of kidney disease are discovered by the people, so women kidney disease early symptoms of the early understanding and learning for the masses of women friends is very important!
Of kidney disease symptoms of women, most often the feeling is kidney pain, including unilateral or bilateral renal colic pain or renal area, kidney disease is caused by abnormal urine appeared mainly hematuria, proteinuria, pyuria, etc. Because of the large renal reserve unit, part of the nephron damage to kidney damage is not apparent, if timely attention to kidney disease early symptoms, early found kidney disease changes, timely treatment, the treatment of kidney disease will be greatly improved.
1. female kidney disease early symptoms of illness symptoms, abnormal urine due to kidney function decline, kidney disease can appear less urine (24 hours is less than 400 ml) of urine or no urine. If taking diuretics, polyuria phenomenon can occur. In addition, renal insufficiency may lead to increased nocturia, the symptoms of urinary retention. Glomerular damage, leading to kidney disease often have hematuria (mirror or both) to the naked eye, pyuria, proteinuria and other symptoms. Proteinuria is greater than 3.5 g/day, is an important characteristic of glomerular proteinuria sex.
2, female kidney disease early symptoms of renal edema, oedema is the result of the intercellular fluid volume increases, the intercellular fluid capacity increased as a result of water sodium retention, the main reason is that kidney disease is due to reduced glomerular filtration rate, lead to disorders of water and sodium excretion, thus appeared the symptoms of renal edema.
3. kidney disease symptoms - swollen renal kidney changes cause abnormal kidney volume increased, mainly with unilateral renal enlargement with bilateral renal enlargement two cases.
4. female kidney disease early symptoms, renal colic, kidney pain, renal colic pain is sudden severe renal area, is intermittent or continuous attacks, even in paroxysmal increase. Some patients can show atypical renal colic, namely colic lighter or alleviate quickly. Renal area characterized by pain or dull pain, pain is persistent, heaviness, pain can be characterized by unilateral or bilateral.
5. female kidney disease early symptoms of high blood pressure kidney disease may be because the renal blood vessels or renal parenchyma damage lead to high blood pressure, body shape is common in patients with high blood pressure associated with anemia and hypoalbuminemia.
Symptoms of Kidney Stone
Kidney stone is a kind of kidney diseases and common diseases, but it has great harms and serious ones may become a threaten to patients’ health. So what is kidney stone, and what are symptoms of kidney stone. Let’s have a look now.
1. Waist pain.
Pain is one of the kidney symptoms. This pain is mainly concentrate on patients’ costalspinal angle, waist and midsection. Most of these pain are paroxysmal, and a little part have continuity.
And the dull pain mainly shows as waist uncomfortable. Movement or work will cause or aggravate the pain. Besides, serious pain may cause patients pale face and cold sweat, some times blood pressure decrease and into shock state. Parts of patients may have nausea, vomit, abdominal distension constipation. When patients have angina, they will also decrease urine, and later diuresis.
2. Hematuria (or blood urine)
Blood urine is another symptoms of kidney stone. It include microscopic hematuria and gross hematuria. When kidney stone patients occur pains, it always together with hematuria and alway small mount microscopic hematuria. If patient have violent sports, the hematuria will be aggravate. Some of kidney stone patients come to see a doctor for painless hematuria, and some come for pain instead of hematuria.
3. Urination stone history
Kidney stone patient may urinate little stone or grit, especially when they have urination pain or hematuria. For those patient who has pain and hematuria, if there is no calcification effect of X-ray film, they should pay attention to their urine to see wether there is little stone or grit.
4. Fever. Kidney stone can be caused by bacterial infection and it can also induce bacterial infection and then cause fever. Because the stones impede the urinating, the bacterial can not be discharged with urine. Serious ones may cause blood poisoning and even become a threat to life.
5. Other symptoms.
The common kidney stone complications are blocking and infection, and some patient come to see doctor because of urine tract infection. Blocking may cause uronephrosis and bring patients epigastric pain and waist lump. Patients usually come in treatment after they found uronephrosis when having physical examination. It is nor rare in clinic.
The above is the introduction about kidney stone. If you have other question about kidney disease, ask our experts online directly.

Natural Treatment for Kidney Disease
Human are from nature, depending on the nature. Natural treatment for kidney disease is of great significance, and good choice for kidney disease patients. It is significance analysis of natural therapies for kidney disease patients.
Natural therapies is to point to in addition to surgery, radiotherapy, chemical synthetic drug, no trauma, no pain therapy. Usually by stimulating the body's own potential, to repair damaged human kidneys. The method for adjustment of patients body imbalance of internal environment and is any drugs don't replace. Natural therapies for patients to say don't have too many concerns. Its treatment effect is very obvious. Another doctor of traditional Chinese medicine thinks "long illness in silt" chronic kidney disease patients are more or less have some clogged phenomenon, such as complexion dark, waist pain, etc. These clogged phenomenon truthfully meridian exercise, acupuncture and other natural therapy can not only improve kidney disease in patients with edema, bloody urine, etc can also improve patients with urinary albumin index, so the natural therapy for kidney disease is a way of tackling both the symptoms. Curative effect is reliable. This is the meaning of natural therapies for kidney disease patients.
Recently, kidney disease is more and more pay attention to the natural therapy, this also is a good way to treat kidney disease, so natural therapy exactly what are the problems that should be paid attention to,
Medicinal food, such as acupuncture, qigong therapy in essence belongs to the natural therapy of TCM, in the natural therapy should be paid attention to problems are the following:
1. To grasp the connotation of all kinds of therapy, treatment with all kinds of indications, not sloppy application without side effects, because of natural therapy should strictly treatment as required.
2. Without the help of drugs, natural therapies is to stimulate the self-healing ability of the body to treat disease, and treatment effect of the disease is not for one or two treatment can achieve. Should preserve long natural get its efficacy.
3. Can also be used to strengthen the natural therapy can be used for treatment, even of people also won't have any harm and can prolong life instead, so the condition after recovery can also insist, this is also one of the problems that should be paid attention to natural therapy.
Is the problem of natural therapy should be paid attention to the above explanation, but if got kidney disease natural therapy alone is not enough, should go to normal hospital sees a doctor, we are looking forward to your consultation and diagnosis.
Control Sugar is Critical to Diabetic Nephropathy Patients
Patients with diabetic nephropathy early without any notice. It also missed the treatment opportunity, phoenix Chinese medicine kidney disease experts point out that at the same time, to be effective the stability of the illness, treatment of disease, patients with diabetic nephropathy early control sugar special key. It is starting from the understanding of the disease, let's talk about diabetic nephropathy, accused of sugar on diabetic nephropathy.
To prevent chronic kidney disease, diabetic nephropathy patients first should be strictly control blood sugar, to hold his own mouth, rational use of medicines, his blood sugar control in the normal level. Blood glucose control is not ideal, the body produces ketones, kidney damage is very big, when in the metabolism of methadone complications develop quickly at this time. On this basis, and regularly to the hospital inspection tests. At the same time to avoid high blood pressure, diabetic or kidney problems more easily.
Diabetic nephropathy patients have potential kidney disease, but some people sick time is long, there are some people who are sick time. Long time, as the heavy disease, kidney disease out of the complications such as performance; Sick time is short, the illness is very light, kidney disease complications such as have not show it. But not show it, does not represent this without complications, diabetic nephropathy in the certain degree, renal failure, uremia, such as kidney disease will be inevitable. Therefore, the symptoms of diabetic nephropathy patients with or without kidney disease, should be regularly to the hospital inspection treatment.
Diabetic nephropathy kidney disease before kidney didn't happen big lesions, are reversible, so be sure to prevent kidney disease of diabetes mellitus, the best way is to do urine test. If wait for symptoms to hospital again, chronic kidney disease (CKD) mostly belongs to middle-late, the condition is irreversible. If diabetic nephropathy patients find that their urine is abnormal, such as too many urine bubble, turbidity, color should be immediately to the hospital check if kidney problems. Normally, urine bubble in the urinal will soon disappear. Color in the case of water less, only have yellow, cloudy appearance. If not, may be early signs of kidney problems.
Because this expert points out: when friends diagnosed patients with diabetic nephropathy, in early should strictly control the sugar from the diet and so on, as long as such, the next treatment is the stability of the foundation, can control the illness, prevent the happening of the disease onset of illness, patients with friends must keep in mind.

Stem Cells "anti-aging" Reality and Possibility
People will aging, anti-aging has always been in old people's expectations, to this end, many people spare no effort to find out the ways to prolong life, eternal youth, looking forward to maintaining strong physique and vitality, thus better able to face changing and competitive society to survive. In order to meet the needs of people are aging, a variety of anti-aging theory and related technology products, is now widely popular stem cell aging is one of them.
The nature of aging
What is aging? What is the nature of aging? Aging is a biological, over time, spontaneous inevitable process, show the structure of degeneration, and functional decline, adaptability and resistance loss, lose interest in new things, beyond reality, like nostalgia. On the physiology, aging is the birth of the people, namely the formation of the zygote has been to old death of individual development.
Aging tissues and organs of the human body structure degeneration and function is reduced, its essence is attenuation, cells and cell decay caused by attenuation and is mainly composed of stem cells.
Stem cells is to explore human growth, development and aging at the core of the link, from the perspective of clinical medicine, stem cell therapy treatment could completely change for many diseases, especially through the tissue and organ replacement and repair many refractory diseases treatment. Stem cells can effective treat the blood disease, autoimmune disease, diabetes, multiple sclerosis treatment, myocardial infarction, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, etc., and is likely to become the new strategy for treatment of aging. Stem cell therapy has been carried out in the world.
At present, a growing number of scientists research using stem cells to treat age-related diseases and even live longer with stem cells are discussed. A large number of experiments have shown that stem cells have anti-aging effect, some preliminary clinical trial results also indicate the stem cells for treatment of senile degenerative diseases effectively.
The role of autologous stem cells and limitations
Since the stem cell anti-aging in theory is established, then what is the status of practical application?
Actually, stem cell anti-aging as stem cells to treat disease, faces many problems need to be solved. First of all, it is with his own stem cells or stem cells. From the point of view of immunology, autologous stem cells will not be rejected, can survive and develop its function.
When a person into old age, however, the number and function of stem cells in the body is reduced, therefore, take the autologous stem cell anti-aging is robbing Peter to pay Paul, such as fat or bone marrow stem cells take some out of injected into facial can play a role of some of the improvement of facial aging, but used to systemic anti-aging is nominal.
But if we save the neonatal period of stem cells, such as the placenta umbilical cord stem cells), that is not the case, added extra young autologous stem cells, will produce very good tissue repair regeneration and anti-aging effect.
Another source of autologous stem cells is induced using the latest technology, namely the iPS technology, will be its own mature cells induced into cells with stem cell properties, and develop further amplification, in the laboratory for tissue repair and regeneration and anti-aging.
This has made some progress in the study of animal experiment, but due to the induction technology to produce stem cells genome instability, reportedly has the potential of tumor transformation, at the same time the immune phenotype have some change and have immunogenicity, which also can appear immune rejection.
Therefore, the application of iPS cells to treat disease or premature aging, some people think that impossible, but at least there are many scientific problems to be further elucidated.
Borrow someone else's cells resistant to aging?
If we don't have redundant autologous stem cells, so people's stem cells is available?
It is well known that there are genetic differences between people, only the histocompatibility antigen between the same individual infusion cells do not repel each other. Half of children and the parents' genes are exactly the same, identical twins are identical, rather than between identical twins and sisters brothers have a quarter of the same probability, histocompatibility antigen between unrelated individuals of the same probability of about 100000 PPM.
To sum up, the other people of the stem cells used for healing, and anti-aging immune rejection problem, is the biggest problem that is someone else's stem cells will be immune to rule out sooner or later. So allogeneic stem cells can be used for anti-aging?
Studies have found that human stem cells varied, according to its developmental stage, can be divided into embryonic stem cells, fetal stem cells (including the placenta umbilical cord stem cells) and adult stem cells. Adult stem cells immunogenicity of strong, easy to cause an immune response. If according to their functional division, is divided into between hematopoietic stem cells, mesenchymal stem cells, neural stem cells, skin cells, etc., including hematopoietic stem cells most likely to cause immune rejection, must match the same shall be used for transplantation.
Mesenchymal stem cells, on the contrary, low immunogenicity, but also has inhibition of immune rejection, so, don't use matches also won't produce immune rejection. Therefore, mesenchymal stem cells are currently most clinical use of stem cells after hematopoietic stem cell.
Between allogeneic mesenchymal stem cells transplanted to other people, usually after a month without a trace, can not find it. But will produce some treatment or after infusion cells anti-aging effect, its degree of associated with infusion the number and frequency of cells.
Disappearance of stem cells is the result of the in vivo differentiation mature immunogenicity by immune clearance, that is a slow process gradually, so will not appear usually visible immune response. Mechanism mainly stem cells released from the effects of various kinds of factors produced by the direct effect. Stem cells within the factor for the lack of mature cells, these factors directly promote the injury and repair of senescent cells.
The study also found that allogeneic stem cell transplantation will start the body's own stem cells activation, resulting in tissue regeneration and reverse aging.
A growing body of research suggests that stem cells have anti-ageing effects, but its real application value remains to be further elucidated.
Smoke and Kidney Disease
Kidney disease prevention, quickly quit smoking, at the same time, control blood sugar, blood lipids and blood pressure
Smoking on the body of the "curse" in the lungs, the stomach, not only go to hospital endocrinology ward, of the diabetic nephropathy but a lot of "heavy smoker".
Dr Wesson and others completed Texas tech university's research shows that smoking may increase the oxidative stress of patients with type 2 diabetes, leading to progressive renal injury, characterized by urinary protein excretion increased. According to statistics, among diabetes have diabetic nephropathy accounts for more than a third, a significant proportion of those already in the degree of renal insufficiency, visible, for friends and sugar, quick to give up smoking, to far from diabetic nephropathy.
Although diabetes kidney disease is a chronic hyperglycemia caused by kidney disease (CKD), but high blood pressure, high cholesterol, also can accelerate the process of pathological changes, to prevent diabetic nephropathy, should be "three-pronged", namely, control blood sugar, blood pressure and blood lipid. In general, the diabetes patient's blood pressure should be controlled under 130/80 MMHG, diabetes kidney disease if blood pressure more than 130/85 MMHG to treatment.
It is important to note that no obvious symptoms of early diabetic nephropathy, when there is plenty of foam in urine, eyelid or lower extremity edema, condition is more serious, so, only by the observation of physical condition has certain difficulty, the early detection of diabetic nephropathy patients should be tested once a year the urine trace albumin levels, especially diabetes for more than five years, those with high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia, obesity diabetes, conditional best at home on a regular basis to monitor glucose (12 times a day), once, blood sugar volatility should be under the guidance of a doctor in a timely manner to adjust drug doses. Was diagnosed with diabetes, you should start earlier for screening of diabetic nephropathy, for type 2 diabetes patients, should be confirmed when screening; And people with type 1 diabetes should according to its onset age at puberty begin screening or diagnosis of diabetes after 5 years later, if the screening results "bad", in 2 ~ 3 month, best check repeat 2 ~ 3 times, in order to confirmed. And, of course, dealing with kidney disease, persistent hypoglycemic is the key link.

Diabetic Nephropathy Should Pay Attention to Diet
(1) if there is intermittent or persistent proteinuria hypoalbuminemia, and no obvious azotemia patients with diabetic nephropathy, the diet should pay attention to: the protein supply divided by 1 g per day? 1 kg - calculation, need to increase the quality of eduction of protein in the urine, decreased renal function in patients with existing mostly at this time, so the protein dosage shoulds not be too high. She said in the daily diet, protein, moderate intake of high-quality high-protein diet, rather than blindly supplement protein, so as not to aggravate kidney burden, aggravating illness.
(2) both edema or high blood pressure diet principle of diabetic nephropathy: should adopt low salt, no salt, sodium or less diet, to prevent the development of edema and increased blood pressure.
(3) most diabetic nephropathy patients with hypertension and hyperlipidemia, should be appropriate to reduce fat and adopt more unsaturated fatty acids, cholesterol below 300 mg should be restricted.
(4) diabetes nephrosis patient's diet can be according to the situation of fasting glucose intake size reference, can be appropriately increase the carbohydrate, but heat from carbohydrate should not be greater than 70%.
5. Some people think that poorly controlled diabetes nephropathy, red blood cells, decreased ability to release oxygen, advocate using high phosphorus diets, but should give priority to with strict control of diabetes, such as kidney function decline, high phosphorus diets for patients.
6. Such as diabetic nephropathy the symptoms of anemia, should be more in diet allocate supply foods rich in iron and vitamin C, such as anemia, severe must be supplemented by drugs or even blood transfusion.
All diabetic nephropathy patients renal function not full-time, such as a kidney transplant or dialysis therapy, the principles of diet therapy can be reference for acute or chronic renal failure, dialysis therapy and related content.
