Live a Normal Life with Polycystic Kidney Disease
How to live a normal life with PKD? You can read on or get a personal answer
from my free online service directly! it is free and safe! Enjoy your reading!
People with PKD are worried about their life expectancy when they are detected
PKD. This is because many large cysts on kidney really cause problems such as
end stage kidney disease and require dialysis or kidney transplant although many
people with PKD do not develop any serious conditions. Their cysts have no big
changes for many years, and then they do not develop end stage kidney disease
and live a normal life. But about 50% of peoples with PKD are not so lucky.
Their cysts keep growing all the time and when the cysts are too large they
cause problems. Then how to prevent developing of cysts on kidney and live a
normal life? Read on to learn more about it.
Learn About: Symptoms of Ruptured Kidney Cysts with ADPKD
People with PKD can live a normal life if they can control the growing of cysts on kidney, which is not a dream. Some herbs can help you restrain developing of cysts. In China, some herbs are found by practitioners to be effective on treating cystic kidney diseases such as cordyceps sinensis. Hence you can find some natural herbs to restrain the developing of cysts on kidney and use it often. There are no side effects.
In China, the effective herbs now can be micronized and osmosed into kidney lesion with the help of osmosis devices. This external application method is more effective because the medicine can reach kidney lesion very soon. Beside, this new therapy avoids bitterness of the herbs. The name of the therapy is Funeng Therapy.
Then people with PKD do not need to worry about the cysts all day long. Live a normal life is not a dream!
Do you have any other questions? You can send an email to kidneyask@hotmail.com, our experts will reply you as soon as possible.

Diet nursing for patients with Chronic Glomerulonephritis
Patients with Chronic Glomerulonephritis have low resistance and immunity,
and weak physique, especially for patients with Anemia, Hypoproteinemia, and
Renal Insufficiency. Physical activity is a very energetic form of exercise, and
tiredness is the main inducement for aggravating to Chronic Glomerulonephritis
and declining renal function.If you need personal specific diet for chronic glomerulonephritis, you are suggested to leave a message to kidneyask@hotmail.com or you can consult our free online service below the article. It is free and safe.More Detailed info about diet for glomerulonephritis,please check www.kidneyservicechina.com
There are many causes to lead to Chronic Glomerulonephritis recurrent attacks. Firstly, pathologic types of nephritis. Some pathologic types are irreversible, such as Focal Segmental Glomerulonephritis; secondly, unreasonable drug use, especially reasonablely using hormone, cytotoxic drugs and hypotensive drugs is important. Inpatients can usually do this well, and outpatients will ignore it easily. For patients with dormant clinical symptoms usually don't follow doctor's advice, increasing or decreasing dosage or stopping taking. Thirdly, immunity. Patients with Chronic Nephritis have a low immunity, especially patients with anomia and hypoproteinemia. Their physique and immunity has been low, and they are easy to be tired and infected. Once they live and work irregularly, the disease will aggravate by infection (especially upper respiratory infection) and tiredness, and even demonstrates with acute outbreak Chronic Nephritis or leads to deterioration of renal function. Fourthly, renal toxicity drugs misuse. The common misusing drug is aminoglycosides antibiotics such as gentamicin, which will lead to renal function deterioration and Urimia. In addition, when the condition is not stable, pregnancy, long-distance tour and sports activity are also factors of recurrent attacks or deterioration. Kidney damage is deteriorated by improper diet.
To delay the development of CN and protect renal function, doctors and patients must cooperate with each other. Patients should pay attention to kidney state any time, and strictly follow professional doctor's guidance to choose and take medicine, and don't try any medicine and believe folk prescription, especially before not sure pathologic types. Patients should form a good living habit, having a proper work and rest, not too tired, even the disease is stable. Don't take a long-distance tour and obsess with work. Patients should take suitable activity to enhance disease resistance. Patients with renal function damage mustn't use renal toxicity drugs. For diet, patients should follow doctor's advice to choose food, and don't take tonics freely.
Patients with CN should eat food with high quality low protein,low phosphorous and high vitamin, and increase sugar intake to ensure enough heat and reduce protein breakdown. If patients have edema and (or) high blood pressure, they should be limited the intake of sodium salt. Patients should have a scientific and proper diet.
Water,sodium intake: sodium intake should be less than 3 g/d; patients with severe edema should be less than 2 g/d; the water intake can be more 500ml than total volume of urine in previous day
Protein intake: controlling protein intake can also lower phosphorous intake. Generally, the daily protein intake is 0.6g/ kg of body weight, half of them is high quality protein (animal protein contains essential amino-acid), such as eggs, lean, milk and so on.
Energy intake: daily energy intake is 30 ～ 35 kcal/kg
Replenish all kinds of vitamin and microelement: such as vitamin A, B, C, D, E and microelement Ca, Zn, Fe.Patients can eat fresh vegetables, fruit, nuts and beef and so on.

Treatment for FSGS: Conventional Treatment, Dialysis, Kidney Transplant, Alternative Treatment
FSGS can't be cured totally, but many treatments can be applied to stop FSGS
effectively.
Conventional Treatments for FSGS
Nowadays you can use the glucocorticoid or other immune suppressants to reduce the glomerular filtration membrane permeability so as to achieve the purpose of reducing proteinuria. Learn About: FSGS: Life Expectancy of Someone on Dialysis or Kidney Transplant
There is a report that FSGS progresses to ESRD very fast after the use of hemodialysis together with high-dosage of prednison, in the later, after the use of plasmaphoresis along with the low-dosage of cyclophosphamide, the renal function restores obviously, and the following two years follow up proved that the patient still had a stable renal function and during that time, hemodialysis is never undergone during that time.
Hormone and cytotoxicity drugs are the currently common used drugs for the treatment of FSGS. And the new medicine of mycophenolic acid is also praised for its treatment for FSGS. Compared with the traditional treatment plan for FSGS, mycophenolate mofetil(MMF) along with prednisolone for 2-3 months can quickly induce the relieve of the clinical manifestations, reduce the using time of hormones, and reduce the untoward effect of hormones.
And studies show that ACEI could effectively reduce the proteinuria, and along with the extend of treatment, the function of ACEI becomes more and more obvious in reduction of the proteinuria. There are reports that when the traditional treatment is ineffective in treatment for FSGS, the joint application with MMF and ARB could effectively alleviate the clinical symptoms of FSGS.
As for the relapse FSGS after kidney transplant, the effect of blood purification treatment is relatively satisfactory. Especially the double filtration plasmapheresis(DFPP), it could reduce the level of proteinuria as well as extend the survival rate of transplanted kidney.
Dialysis and Kidney Transplantation
Generally, dialysis and kidney transplantation are adopted when FSGS develops to kidney failure. However, dialysis is just like a filter machine, it only can help the patient to discharge the waste products from human body, it can’t help the patient to repair the damaged kidneys, it can't help the patient to absorb the useful substance from human body, it can't help the patient to secrete useful EPO or other things etc. Therefore, after the patient receive the regularly dialysis for several years, when the kidneys become smaller and smaller, there is only kidney transplant can help them.
With the development of modern medical technology, the death rate of kidney transplant is very low, and it has rescues many patients with end stage of kidney failure. However, patients still need to take anti-rejection medicines all their life, especially for those who can’t undergo kidney transplant, it is really a disappointed thing.
Alternative Treatment method
Nowadays, with the development of modern Chinese Medicine, there are many useful treatment have already proved to be useful. For example, there are many Traditional Chinese Medicine methods like cupping, Chinese Acupuncture, clysis, fuming and steaming, massage etc.
Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy has been studied and used for kidney disease patients, this treatment can intervene the patient’s life style, medicines, Immune System, thus regulate the whole body's immunity, inhibit the disease relapse, discharge the waste products from human body, stimulate the human body's self-healing, active and restore the kidney function.

Membranous Nephropathy: Cause, Symptoms, Treatment, Diagnosis
What is Membranous Nephropathy?
Membranous glomerulonephritis (MGN) is a slowly progressive disease of the kidney affecting mostly patients between ages of 30 and 50 years, usually Caucasian.
It is the second most common cause of nephrotic syndrome in adults, with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) being the most common.If you need to know the personal answer about this disease, you can consult online free service or just send your questions to kidneyask@hotmail.com
Causes of Membranous Nephropathy
Membranous nephropathy is caused by the thickening of part of the glomerular basement membrane. The glomerular basement membrane is a part of the kidneys that helps filter waste and extra fluid from the blood. The exact reason for this thickening is not known.
The thicker glomerular membrane does not work normally. Large amounts of protein are lost in the urine as a result.
This condition is one of the most common causes of nephrotic syndrome. It may be a primary kidney disease, or it may be associated with other conditions.
The following increase your risk for this condition:
Cancers, especially lung and colon cancer
Exposure to toxins, including gold and mercury
Infections, including hepatitis B, malaria, syphilis, and endocarditis
Medicines, including penicillamine, trimethadione, and skin-lightening creams
Systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, Graves' disease, and other autoimmune disorders
The disorder occurs in about 2 out of every 10,000 people. It may occur at any age, but is more common after age 40.
Symptoms of Membranous Nephropathy
Symptoms often begin slowly over time, and may include:
Edema (swelling) in any area of the body
Fatigue
Foamy appearance of urine (due to large amounts of protein)
Poor appetite
Urination, excessive at night
Weight gain
Learn About: Proteinuria in Membranous Nephropathy
Exams and Tests
A physical exam may show swelling (edema).
A urinalysis may reveal large amounts of protein in the urine. There may also be some blood in the urine. The glomerular filtration rate (the "speed" at which the kidneys cleanse the blood) is usually nearly normal.
Other tests may be done to see how well the kidneys are working and how the body is adapting to the kidney problem. These include:
Albumin - blood and urine
Blood urea nitrogen (BUN)
Creatinine - blood
Creatinine clearance
Lipid panel
Protein - blood and urine
A kidney biopsy confirms the diagnosis.
The following tests can help determine the cause of membranous nephropathy:
Antinuclear antibodies test
Anti-double-strand DNA, if the antinuclear antibodies test is positive
Blood tests to check for hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and syphilis
Complement levels
Cryoglobulin test
Treatments for Membranous Nephropathy
Common Treatment
The goal of treatment is to reduce symptoms and slow the progression of the disease.
Controlling blood pressure is the most important way to delay kidney damage. The goal is to keep blood pressure at or below 130/80 mmHg. Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) are the medicines most often used to lower blood pressure.
Corticosteroids and other drugs that suppress the immune system may be used.
High blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels should be treated to reduce the risk of atherosclerosis. However, a low-fat, low-cholesterol diet is usually not as helpful for people with membranous nephropathy. Medications to reduce cholesterol and triglyceride levels (most often statins) may be recommended.
A low-salt diet may help with swelling in the hands and legs. Water pills or diuretics may also help with this problem.
Low-protein diets may be helpful. A moderate-protein diet (1 gram of protein per kilogram of body weight per day) may be suggested.
Vitamin D may need to be replaced if nephrotic syndrome is chronic and does not respond to therapy.
This disease increases the risk for blood clots in the lungs and legs. Patients are occasionally prescribed blood thinners to prevent these complications.
However, the above treatment only can alleviate the symptoms of Membranous Nephropathy, it can’t treat this disease from the root. More Treatment details, please email to kidneyask@hotmail.com
Alternative Treatment
For patients with Membranous Nephropathy( MN), most of them want to treat the disease from root, but most medicines for this disease is only to eliminate the symptoms. Later, if there are some causes to trigger the disease, the illness condition will become more seriously.
Therefore, nowadays, with the development of modern medical technology, combined with Traditional Chinese Medicine, MN has been controlled very well. The useful treatment include Natural Immune Balance Treatment, Micro-active Method, Cells Treatment etc.
This treatment includes Shenkang preparation, classic recipe, and magical liquid medicine. Many useful nutrition is composed in this treatment, thus achieving the purpose of expand the blood vessels, improve the blood circulation of kidneys, enhance the dynamic character of kidneys, reduce the complications of kidney disease. Meanwhile, promote the permeability of filtration membrane of glomeruli, clean the toxin and immune complex in the kidneys, increase the urination, regulate the balance of electrolyte, and restore the kidney function.

However, the above treatment only can alleviate the symptoms of Membranous Nephropathy, it can’t treat this disease from the root. More Treatment details, please email to kidneyask@hotmail.com
Alternative Treatment
For patients with Membranous Nephropathy( MN), most of them want to treat the disease from root, but most medicines for this disease is only to eliminate the symptoms. Later, if there are some causes to trigger the disease, the illness condition will become more seriously.
Therefore, nowadays, with the development of modern medical technology, combined with Traditional Chinese Medicine, MN has been controlled very well. The useful treatment include Natural Immune Balance Treatment, Micro-active Method, Cells Treatment etc.
This treatment includes Shenkang preparation, classic recipe, and magical liquid medicine. Many useful nutrition is composed in this treatment, thus achieving the purpose of expand the blood vessels, improve the blood circulation of kidneys, enhance the dynamic character of kidneys, reduce the complications of kidney disease. Meanwhile, promote the permeability of filtration membrane of glomeruli, clean the toxin and immune complex in the kidneys, increase the urination, regulate the balance of electrolyte, and restore the kidney function.
Patient Story: Latest Treatment for Diabetic Nephropathy
The physical condition before patient went to hospital: poor spirit, sleep,
appetite, can't lay down, cold intolerance, white urine without any odour.
The physical exanimation: Pitting edema, pale face, urine protein: +++. Serum Creatinine: 413.16umol/L, B Ultrasound: hydrops in chest, blood sugar: 4.0-14.5mmol/L. He was diagnosed as Diabetic Nephropathy.
After received Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy, the illness condition of patient has changed obviously, such as good sleep, spirit and appetite, the whole body begins to sweat, Serum Creatinine: 223 umol/L, Urine Protein turn negative, B Ultrasound: without hydrops in chest, blood sugar: 4-5mmol/L, Urine Protein: +.
The stem cells are transplanted into human body by blood circulation, then they will begin to self-replication and differentiate into various kinds of renal inherent cells which are the damaged tissues need, then repair the glomerular basement membrane, thus these symptoms like urine protein and occult blood will disappear fundamentally. Furthermore, stem cells can differentiate into renal vessels to alleviate the state of ischemia and anoxia and improve the micro-circulation. Utilize the characters of multi-differentiation, stem cells not only repair the damaged islet cells, but also differentiate into islet cells, thus restoring blood sugar to the normal level, promote blood pressure to regain the normal level. In the end, the blood flow volume will improve to the future step, and restore the renal function gradually.Any help, please email to kidneyask@hotmail.com or leave a message below!

Polycystic Kidney Disease: Cause, Type, Diagnosis, Treatment, Diet
What is Polycystic Kidney Disease
Polycystic kidney disease (PKD or PCKD, also known as polycystic kidney syndrome) is a cystic genetic disorder of the kidneys. There are two types of PKD: autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) and the less-common autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD).
It occurs in humans and some other animals. PKD is characterized by the presence of multiple cysts (hence, "polycystic") typically in both kidneys; however 17% of cases initially present with observable disease in one kidney, with most cases progressing to bilateral disease in adulthood. The cysts are numerous and are fluid-filled, resulting in massive enlargement of the kidneys. The disease can also damage the liver, pancreas and, in some rare cases, the heart and brain. The two major forms of polycystic kidney disease are distinguished by their patterns of inheritance.
Polycystic kidney disease is one of the most common life-threatening genetic diseases, affecting an estimated 12.5 million people worldwide.
Types
Autosomal dominant
CT scan showing autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common of all the hereditary cystic kidney diseases with an incidence of 1 to 2:1,000 live births. Studies show that 10% of end-stage renal disease (UREMIA) patients being treated with hemodialysis in Europe and the U.S. were initially diagnosed and treated for ADPKD. ADPKD does not appear to demonstrate a preference for any particular ethnicity.
ADPKD is characterized by progressive cyst development and bilaterally enlarged kidneys with multiple cysts. There are three genetic mutations in the PKD-1, PKD-2, and PKD3 gene with similar phenotypical presentations. Gene PKD-1 is located on chromosome 16 and codes for a protein involved in regulation of cell cycle and intracellular calcium transport in epithelial cells, and is responsible for 85% of the cases of ADPKD. A group of voltage-linked calcium channels are coded for by PKD-2 on chromosome 4. PKD3 recently appeared in research papers as a postulated 3rd gene. At this time, PKD3 has not been proven. Fewer than 10% of cases of ADPKD appear in non-ADPKD families.
Cyst formation begins in utero from any point along the nephron, although fewer than 5% of nephrons are thought to be involved. As the cysts accumulate fluid, they enlarge, separate entirely from the nephron, compress the neighboring renal parenchyma, and progressively compromise renal function.
Under the function of gene defect, epithelial cells of renal tubule turn into epithelial cells of cyst wall after phenotype change, and begin to have the function of secreting cyst fluid, which leads to continuous cysts enlargement.
Autosomal recessive
Studies show that the incidence of ARPKD is 1:20,000 live births and is typically identified in the first few weeks after birth. Unfortunately, resulting hypoplasia results in a 30% death rate in neonates with ARPKD. In ARPKD kidneys retain their shape but are larger than the normal anatomical range with dilated collecting ducts from the medulla to the cortex.
Symptoms
Abdominal pain or tenderness
Blood in the urine
Excessive urination at night
Flank pain on one or both sides
Other symptoms that may occur with this disease include:
Drowsiness
Joint pain
Nail abnormalities
Preventions
1. Prevent catching cold. PKD is a hereditary disease which will accompany the patients for lifelong time. Cold and infections will speed up the illness progression.
2. Prevent physical traumas. The multiple cysts in the kidneys will experience progressive enlargement and increase the capsule internal pressure. In such case, any light trauma like bump, sprain will further increase the pressure and have impact on large cysts which will cause the cysts to rupture and bleed.
3. Well control of hypertension. High blood pressure will speed up renal damages and cause cerebrovascular damages, therefore it is crucial to bring the blood pressure well under control for slowing down the deterioration of renal function.
Possible Complications
Anemia
Bleeding or rupture of cysts
Chronic kidney disease
End-stage kidney disease
High blood pressure
Infection of liver cysts
Kidney stones
Liver failure (mild to severe)
Repeated urinary tract infections
Treatment
Since PKD is a congenital and hereditary disease and it is related to gene mutation, there is at present no instant cure for it. What can be done is to deal with the symptoms and complications and slow down the development of the illness condition. These symptoms and discomforts can be alleviated in a short time, however the renal damage can’t be reversed and the kidney function will be gradually lost and in the end patients will have no choice but dialysis and kidney transplant.
1. Surgeries
Operations such as aspiration and decortication can help remove the cysts in a short time, however they are more suitable for single and large cysts and the recurrent rate is high and they can’t reverse the continuous deterioration of renal functions. They are especially not suitable for PKD patients because their kidneys are full of varying sizes cysts. PKD will progress gradually into end stage renal failure and at that time patients will have no choice but dialysis and kidney transplant.
2. Traditional Chinese Medicines (TCM)
As we know the continuous deterioration of renal function is caused by the progressive enlargement and increase of the cysts, therefore the key point is to slow down their growth rate and try to shrink them to smaller size. In this regard, Tradition Chinese Medicines have particularly good effects on shrinking these multiple cysts and at the same time regulating disorders and repairing kidney damages. Though it take relatively longer time to take effect compared with western therapies, its curative effects can last for a long time since it deal with the disease from the root. And what is more it has far fewer side effects and injuries to the body. Even though, many patients are reluctant to take TCM due to its bitterness, inconvenience and slow effects.
Diet
PKD patients should take foods in a balance amount, not too much or too little. As for PKD patients, they can have less food at one time but more times in one day to keep energetic and nutritious.
1. PKD patients should have more water (4000ml) and the urine output should be maintained at about 2000-2500ml.
2. Polluted foods which can cause gastrointestinal diseases or even poisoning symptoms should be forbidden.
3. PKD patients should have a diet with low salt, low fat and low protein. They should avoid beef and mutton, animal innards as well as spicy and excitant foods. Uncooked and cold foods which may injure spleen and stomach should be limited in a certain amount which should depend on patients' specific illness and physical conditions.
4. More fruit and vegetables with rich vitamins are suggested especially those that have the functions of dissolving stones and diuresis. Alkaline foods should also be eaten more.
5. PKD patients should avoid alcohol, tobacco, strong tea and foods and drinks containing caffeine.

When is Time to Start Dialysis
Kidneys are vital organs that function to keep the blood clean and maintain
chemical balance within. They process blood to extract waste products and extra
water. These by products become urine to be ultimately excreted from the body.
Your kidneys are bean-shaped organs, each about the size of your fist. They are
located near the middle of your back, just below the rib cage. The kidneys are
sophisticated trash collectors. Every day, your kidneys process about 200 quarts
of blood to sift out about 2 quarts of waste products and extra water. The waste
and extra water become urine.
If you fail to find the info you need or you need personal medical help, you can email to kidneyask@hotmail.com for a reply.
With the decreasing of kidney function, patients will be suggested dialysis to help them finish these functions. Dialysis treatment replaces the function of the kidneys, which normally serve as the body's natural filtration system. Through the use of a blood filter and a chemical solution known as dialysate, the treatment removes waste products and excess fluids from the bloodstream, while maintaining the proper chemical balance of the blood. There are two types of dialysis treatment: hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis.
Dialysis helps the body by performing the functions of failed kidneys. The kidney has many roles. An essential job of the kidney is to regulate the body's fluid balance. It does this by adjusting the amount of urine that is excreted on a daily basis. On hot days, the body sweats more. Thus, less water needs to be excreted through the kidneys. On cold days, the body sweats less. Thus, urine output needs to be greater in order to maintain the proper balance within the body. It is the kidney's job to regulate fluid balance by adjusting urine output.

Treatments for Lupus Nephritis
Positively control immune inflammatory response; restrain glomerular
mesentery proliferative lesion; prevent and delay the forming of chronic renal
fibrosis lesion.
Treatment
Pain killers may be needed for the abdominal and joint pains. It is uncertain as to whether HSP needs treatment beyond controlling the symptoms. Most patients do not receive therapy because of the high spontaneous recovery rate. Steroids are generally avoided.However, if they are given early in the disease episode, the duration of symptoms may be shortened, and abdominal pain can improve significantly. Moreover, the chance of severe kidney problems may be reduced.However, some evidence suggests that steroids do not decrease the likelihood of developing long-term kidney disease.
For Personal Treatment suggestions of Lupus Nephritis, you can email to kidneyask@hotmail.com. It is better, if you can send the basic info and medical condition.
Evidence of worsening kidney damage would normally prompt a kidney biopsy. Treatment may be indicated on the basis of the appearance of the biopsy sample; various treatments may be used, ranging from oral steroids to a combination of intravenous methylprednisolone (steroid), cyclophosphamide and dipyridamole followed by prednisone. Other regimens include steroids/azathioprine, and steroids/cyclophosphamide (with or without heparin and warfarin). Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) is occasionally usually.
Plasma exchange
PN, whose clinical presentations are progressive nephritis and a large number of crescents (>50%) formation in kidney biopsy, has a high risk of developing terminal renal failure. For these severe cases, they should be take positive measures, such as plasma exchange. It’s indicate in clinical practice that using hormone and cytotoxic drugs, using together with plasma exchange,or using plasma exchange alone, can reduce renal damage and delay the development of renal failure.
Prognosis
Overall prognosis is good in most patients, and the prognosis is better in children than adults. The prognosis is almost perfect for patients with single hematuria. And the prognosis for patients with different levels of proteinuria [(<1g/24h,>1g/24h) and Nephrotic Syndrome] is related to renal ingravescence. The prognosis for patients with Acute Nephritis Syndrome is bad. Most of them will develop End-stage Renal Disease (ESRD)
1.Some cases do not receive treatment because of the high spontaneous recovery rate, especially for mild cases.
2.Before occurring to rash, pay attention whether patients touched the suspected food and foreign matter causing allergy. Avoid to touching again.
3.Patients with PN should be given the different treatments according to ages, clinical presentations and levels of kidney damage.
4 For the patients with severe clinical symptoms or diffuse pathological lesions, and crescent formation, they should use hormone together with immunosuppressive drugs to control the disease development as soon as possible.
5. For the patients having taken hormone, they should decrease the dosage and times under the doctor’s guidance. Never stop the drugs casually.

Treatment for Minimal Change Disaese
Minimal change disease is a kidney disorder that can lead to Nephrotic
Syndrome, although the nephrons of the kidney look normal under a regular
microscope.
Minimal change disease, there is damage to the glomeruli -- the tiny blood vessels inside the nephron where blood is filtered to make urine and waste is removed. The disease gets its name because this damage is not visible under a regular microscope. It can only be seen under an electron microscope. Minimal change disease is the most common cause of nephrotic syndrome in children. It causes about 80% of cases in young children. It is also seen in adults, but makes up only 10 to 15% of nephrotic syndrome cases.
Edema may be preceded by an upper respiratory tract infection, an allergic reaction to a bee sting, or the use of certain drugs or malignancies. Facial edema is noted first. Malaise and easy fatigability can occur. Weight gain often is an additional feature. The blood pressure usually is normal in children but may be elevated in adults. (In addition, the plasma creatinine in adults is often slightly elevated at presentation.
There are some treatments for Minimal Change Disease. Some articles said that Corticosteroids can cure minimal change disease in most children. Some patients may need to stay on steroids to keep the disease in remission. Adults do not respond to steroids as well as children, but many still find steroids effective. Adults may have more frequent relapses and become dependent on steroids.
In order to avoid side effects, we usually apply Chinese treatments to the patients. Superconductive Cupping Therapy is taking the cups as the treatment tools. The cups are put and attached on the acupoint or the cupping place surface to stimulate the surface skin or the cupping place appearing skin congested and blood stain. In our hospital this therapy has been used to treat the diseases of Acute Nephritis, Nephrotic Syndrome, Chronic Renal Failure, Renal Anemia and Diabetic Nephropathy (DN).

Renal Insufficiency and Supplement Nutrition
In daily life, some people suffer from Renal Insufficiency and some medicines
can supplement nutrition to them, so the pharmacist can recommend the medicine
to the patients when they go to the medicine store for consultation.Due to different personal condition, the supplements may differ. If you need the personal supplements list for renal insufficiency, you can email to kidneyask@hotmail.com for an answer!
Compound vitamin B and folic acid
Compound vitamin B is a sort of fine and inexpensive medicine and it means far more than just several necessary nutrients for patients with Chronic Renal Insufficiency. Compound vitamin B mainly contains the following B group vitamins: vitamin B1, B2, B3 (nicotinic acid) and B6. The renal insufficiency patients always take diuretics (such as furosemide), which will result in the massive loss of vitamin B1, so they should supplement vitamin B. And vitamin B can ease high homocysteine, prevent and control the occlusive vascular disease. Taking vitamin B together with folic acid will make the effect more distinct.
Amino acid and ketone acid
Amino acid includes nitrogen element which can produce various nitrogen substances through metabolism. Under normal circumstances, these nitrogen substances will be expelled out of the body, but if the renal function is insufficient, the nitrogen substances will deposit in the body and cause many other symptoms. Ketone acid does not includes nitrogen, but it can combine the free amino and convert it into useful amino acid which will participate in the compounding of protein. In other words, ketone acid can compound useful essential amino-acid with wasted nitrogen in the body and with a strict control of the intake of protein in the diet, the increase of nitrogen level can be well controlled.
Calcium carbonate
Calcium plays a multiple therapeutic role in the treatment of chronic renal insufficiency patients. Firstly, calcium salt is a kind of phosphorus binders and it can reduce the absorption of phosphorus in intestinal tract, which can reduce the blood phosphorus and prevent renal bone diseases caused by increased blood phosphorus. Secondly, taking orally calcium agentia can make up the insufficiency of calcium under low-protein diet and keep blood calcium normal under the circumstance that the absorption of calcium is poor. The calcium agentia can also ease metabolic acidosis commonly occur among patients with kidney disease to some extent and improve the situation.
Activated vitamin D
Patients with Renal Insufficiency lack of the hydroxylase of activated vitamin D, so even the vitamin D which they absorb from diets is not less, they still lack of vitamin D, which will lead to the insufficient absorption of calcium in intestines, poor mineralization of bone and low blood calcium level. So, the patients need to supplement enough active vitamin D.

Diabetic: Prevent Food Damage in Summer
Patients with Diabetic Foot should quit smoking and drinking, eliminate all
remote causes and hidden dangers. For patients who have suffered from Diabetic
Foot more than 5 years, they should go to hospital for checking the double lower

Is Caffeine Bad For Your Kidney
Caffeine is a bitter, white crystalline xanthine alkaloid that acts as
a stimulant drug. Caffeine is found in varying quantities in the seeds, leaves,
and fruit of some plants, where it acts as a natural pesticide that paralyzes
and kills certain insects feeding on the plants
A caffeine intake equivalent to just two cups of coffee per day (250 mg) was associated with increased prevalence of moderate-to-severe kidney disease in an analysis of 3960 men who participated in a American studies on diet for patients with kidney disease. Although caffeine reduction is now part of recommended lifestyle interventions for women, few studies have explored the association between caffeine and kidney disease in men, say the doctors, who suggest that the effects of caffeine reduction in men with kidney disease should also be evaluated.
The US National Institutes of Health states "too much caffeine can make you
restless, anxious, and irritable. It may also keep you from sleeping well and
cause headaches, abnormal heart rhythms, or other problems. If you stop using
caffeine, you could get withdrawal symptoms. Some people are more sensitive to
the effects of caffeine than others. They should limit their use of caffeine. So
should pregnant and nursing women."
In a word, it is not good for patients with kidney disease to dink so much caffeine.This is why people with Kidney Disease is suggested to avoid drinking coffee. Good News is that there are alternative drinks to coffee for kidney disease patients to choose. If you have a interest, you can email to kidneyask@hotmail.com to get the list.

What Can You Do to Make a Better Kidney Condition
Kidneys are important organs to filer your blood and keep your body clean and healthy, which clean over 200 gallons of blood per day. They remove wastes
from muscles, such as creatinine and blood urea nitrogen. In addition to
cleaning the blood, the kidneys secrete hormones that regulate blood pressure,
aid in the maturation of red blood cells and regulate the amount of potassium
and phosphorus in the blood.
Roughly 1 percent of your body is made of phosphorus. Although most of this phosphorus is found in bones and teeth, it is also found in every cell. The chemical bonds that hold the phosphorus atom to the ATP molecules are high energy bonds. When broken, they release energy to power enzymatic reactions. With 37mg of phosphorus in a 12-oz. can, Coca-Cola has more phosphorus than very scarred kidneys can remove from the blood. According to our researches, all the kidney disease relates with life style. It is necessary for you to avoid unhealthy food and develop healthy living habits.
Kidney disease is called a ‘silent disease’ as there are often no warning signs. More often kidney function worsens over a number of years. This is good news, because if kidney disease is found early, medication, dietary and lifestyle changes can increase the life of your kidneys and keep you feeling your best for as long as possible.
Kidney disease is a life-threatening condition and should not be ignored. Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is responsible for substantial burden of illness and premature mortality. If you lose over 1/3 of your kidney function for over 3 months, it is called Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). Sometimes kidney disease leads to kidney failure, which requires dialysis or a kidney transplant to keep you alive.Learn More: Does Exercise Help 3rd Stage CKD

Chronic Kidney Disease and High Blood Pressure in Child
The kidneys play a key role in keeping blood pressure in a
healthy range. If your child’s kidneys are damaged, they are less able to help
regulate blood pressure. As a result, the child’s blood pressure increases and
CKD gets worse. Making sure your child’s treatment plan is followed carefully
and his/her blood pressure is controlled can help keep kidney disease from
getting worse and prevent heart disease.
The goals of treating high blood pressure for child are:
To reduce blood pressure
To prevent your child’s kidney disease from getting worse
To prevent heart and blood vessel disease.
The child’s blood pressure should be reduced to a normal level for the child’s gender, age and height, or to less than 130/80, whichever is lower. Ask your child’s doctor to tell you what his/her target blood pressure number should be.
Key points to remember
High blood pressure is common in children with CKD.Specific Diet helps lower the blood pressure naturally. if you have a interest in the food list, you can email to kidneyask@hotmail.com for help.
High blood pressure increases the chance that kidney disease will get worse and that heart and vascular disease will develop.
If your child has CKD, it’s important to have the child’s blood pressure checked.
Blood pressure should be measured with a cuff that is the right size for the child.
Normal blood pressure is lower in children. To determine whether your child’s blood pressure is high, the doctor will compare his/her reading with charts that list normal ranges for children based on gender, age and size.
A doctor who specializes in treating CKD and high blood pressure in children should be involved in your child’s care.
Treatment for high blood pressure may include taking medications and making lifestyle changes, such as following a healthy diet, losing weight and exercising regularly. Cutting back on salt may also be recommended.

6 Steps of Traditional Chinese Medicine for Kidney Disease
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) treatment compared with the Western
Medicine treatment it has a big difference. The TCM in treating kidney disease
will focus on six points:
1. Protect the Nephrons.
The root cause of kidney disease is the nephrons insufficiency, water-turbid and toxic retention. So protecting the nephrons is the key point in treating kidney disease.
2. Control the Blood Pressure.
Most patients with kidney disease may have high blood pressure, and their high blood pressure may aggravate their kidney function. So positively controlling blood pressure is the key point to prevent kidney function deterioration.
3. Control the Diet.
For kidney disease, control the diet is the basic treatment. The kidney disease patients should have a diet of low protein with high quality, low salt and low lipid; Sure to have enough calories (the daily calories intake is about 30-40 kcal/kg); limit the water intake (the water intake is commonly the last day’s output add 500ml)
4. Traditional Chinese Medicine Enema.
Through intestinal tract to purge viscera to eliminate turbid and coordinate with oral taken Chinese herbal medicine can effectively delay the deterioration of the renal failure. For patients with high Serum Creatinine or Blood Urea Nitrogen, The TCM can treat it based on an overall analysis of the patients’ disease condition. This treatment is especially suitable for patients with vomiting and nausea, unwilling to take medicine by oral and constipation. The common medicine components are: Raw rhubarb, Calcined oyster shell, Dandelion, Herb of Snow-in-June, Raw liquorice and so on. Usually after training during hospitalization the patients can have it at home.
5. Chinese Herbal Medicated Bath.
It is commonly known as Skin Dialysis. This treatment has a good effect to remove toxin, detumescence and relieve itching. This treatment is mainly suitable for patients with serious edema, no response for general treatment, intractable Hypertension and no effect for conventional depressurization, patients of End-Stage Kidney Failure with serious skin itch. The herb medicines we often used are: raw ephedra, duckweed, cassia twig, cortex dictamni, radix sophorae flavescentis, herba periliae, rhizoma coptidis, and so on.
6. Acupoint Dressing Therapy.
Acupoint Dressing Therapy is applying drug on an Acupoint and treating the internal disease externally. The Chinese herbal medicine is grind to powder and mixed with penetrating agent dressing on the specific Acupoint, stimulate the Acupoint through meridian to adjust the human body's function, improve the symptoms of kidney disease and delay the deterioration of the renal function. The herb medicines commonly used includes: Peach seed, Safflower, Rhizoma atractylodis, Monkshood slice, Coptidis rhizoma and so on. The herbs formula is different from person to person.

IgA Kidney Disease and High Creatinine Levels
IgA Kidney Disease, also known as IgA Nephropathy, is a typical primary
Glomerulonephritis. When kidney damages develop seriously, high creatinine
levels will send a signal.
What does high creatinine levels mean?
Creatinine is a kind of micromolecule urotoxins, which is the byproduct of muscle activity. In normal condition, these urotoxins will be filtered out by kidneys and keep your blood and body healthy. However, once your kidneys cannot cleanse them out, it will elevate the levels of creatinine.
Creatinine reflects the kidney function levels, however, it is not fast enough. Only when kidney functions decline more than 30%~50%, the creatinine levels goes up later on.
Thereby, to monitor the early kidney damages, you are suggested with the specific test for early kidney damages, such as β2 microglobulin, CysC, HCY, RBP, RBP etc. These tests are smarter than creatinine to monitor kidney condition, which are especially recommended to people with diabetes, high blood pressure and whose family member suffering from kidney disease.
What treatment is necessary in this condition?
Once high creatinine levels occur, it indicates that IgA Kidney Disease patients have developed into a serious kidney damages. In this condition, the treatment that only controls the symptoms by limiting the inflammation is not enough. Patients are suggested to improve kidney functions in a short time. Otherwise, you may miss the key time and wait for kidney falling and go on dialysis or register on waiting list.
Funeng therapy + western drugs are suggested. Western drugs are fond of limiting inflammation and alleviating symptoms. These drugs are needed to keep the further informative response under control. Inflammation in IgA Kidney Disease is a fight between the body, that is your immune system trigger inflammation to fight against your kidney tissues. Western drugs help to control the fight and prevent the further damages to the body.
For the existed kidney damages,Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy will play the most important role. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can release growth factors to help the impaired tissues to self-cure and the dead cells to “rebirth”. It is not a real rebirth to revive the dead ones, but Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy herapy will differentiated into the new healthy kidney cells to relapse them. Thereby, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can improve your kidney functions and help lead to a full life for IgA Kidney Disease.

How to Replenish Protein for IgA Nephropathy Patients
Some IgA Nephropathy patients think that they should
avoid intake of protein, because in their minds, protein will burden the damaged
kidney. This is not scientific. In fact, IgA Nephropathy patients should keep a
high quality but low quantity protein diet which includes two meanings.
1. Patients should take low protein. Namely, they should take protein food which contains a low quantity of protein.
2. Patients should take high quality protein. Namely, they should take protein food which produces less waste (nitrogen). If you have not found the info you want, you can leave a message to kidneyask@hotmail.com and expect a reply within 48hours.
Therefore, soy bean products should be avoided. On one hand, bean products contain a great deal of protein. On the other hand, they belong to vegetarian protein, which can produce nitrogen, thus burdening the damaged renal function. Besides, excessive nitrogen may lead to Azotemia. Compared with plant protein, IgA Nephropathy patients are suggested to take animal protein, such as lean meat, fish, chicken and so
No matter which period the IgA Nephropathy develops, patients should take a certain protein and different conditions have different standards.
For Uremia patients, more protein should be taken during dialysis period, especially peritoneal dialysis.
For Nephrotic Syndrome, if they have a better renal function, they are suggested to keep high protein diet, because they loses a large deal of protein through urine. If excessive protein loses, it may lead to hypoproteinemia, thus inducing Edema.
For IgA Nephropathy patients with an elevated level of nitrogen, the limitation of protein is necessary, because excessive protein may accelerate renal function injury.
However, patients’ condition differs from person to person. Therefore, the intake of protein should take patient's condition into consideration. The best choice is to ask doctor’s suggestion.
1. Patients should take low protein. Namely, they should take protein food which contains a low quantity of protein.

What Does It Feel to Die of Kidney Disease
Death from kidney failure is generally considered a gentle death. In fact, many physicians and nurses would choose to die of kidney disease rather than any other illness. Most symptoms of kidney failure can be easily managed or suppressed and pain is rarely a problem. If you want to know the exact details, you can email your current conditions to kidneyask@hotmail.com and get a reply within 48 hours.
Physical Symptoms of Kidney Failure
The kidneys filter waste from the bloodstream and regulate the amount of water contained within the blood. When the kidneys fail to do their job, the waste accumulates in the body. This build up of waste may cause several symptoms.
Skin Changes: A build up of a chemical called urea in the blood may cause your skin to itch. You may even develop a fine white powder on your skin. Itching can usually be controlled with topical creams or antihistamines such as Benedryl.
Mental Changes: You might notice mild confusion early on that may progress to disorientation, anxiety, or delirium. Any discomfort from these mental changes can usually be easily managed with gentle reassurance from loved ones and health care professionals and the use of medications, if needed.
Appetite and Weight Changes: As with any serious illness, your appetite will decrease and may cease altogether. There is no need to force yourself to eat if your body doesn't feel like it. Doing so may only make you feel worse. You may lose weight as your appetite wanes or you might gain weight as your body retains extra fluid. If you are not producing much urine but still drinking fluids, you might notice your feet, legs, abdomen, and other areas of your body swell with excess fluid.
Muscle Changes: As minerals build up in the blood, you may notice muscle twitching, tremors, or even seizures. Medications can be given to prevent seizures and treat them if they occur. Gentle massage can relieve discomfort caused by muscle twitching or spasms.
Mental Changes: You might notice mild confusion early on that may progress to disorientation, anxiety, or delirium. Any discomfort from these mental changes can usually be easily managed with gentle reassurance from loved ones and health care professionals and the use of medications, if needed.
Breathing Changes: The build up of acids in the blood may cause changes in breathing. You may breath faster and more shallow. This breathing is generally not uncomfortable. If fluid has accumulated in the lungs, you may haveshortness of breath, also known as dyspnea. There are things you can do to ease shortness of breath like sitting upright, using oxygen and a fan directed at your face, and taking medications such as morphine.
Death can be a end of a patient with Kidney disease, however, it is not a must result. As long as you can take proper treatment to improve kidney function, you can expect to live a normal life with Kidney Disease. Any help, email to kidneyask@hotmail.com.

Is Polycystic Kidney Disease Serious
Polycystic Kidney Disease is an autosomal dominant disease which runs in
family. Is Polycystic Kidney Disease Serious? This question has been asked for
thousands times from PKD families.
It is hard to give a general “yes” or “no” to this question. But here are some facts which may give you an understanding about “how serious the Polycystic Kidney Disease is?”
PKD is an autosomal dominant disease, meaning if just one parent has a gene mutation for it, there's a 50% chance of passing it on to a child. There's also a recessive form of the disease that is relatively rare. If both parents are affected, the chance of their child will be 75%.
As the kidney cysts enlarge in number and in size gradually, the nearby kidney tissues will be affected and infected. As a result, the kidneys function will decline and it may develop into Kidney failure eventually.
However, with the dominant form of the disease, kidney failure doesn't normally occur until patients are in their mid-50's and they have to go on dialysisor get a kidney transplant. Good news is that a new developed natural treatment named “Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy” helps shrink the kidney cyst naturally. There are about 120 videos of patients story about PKD treated by this natural remedy, if you have interest, you can leave a message to kidneyask@hotmail.com to get the patient story.

High Creatinine Level and High Potassium Level
Your blood works to transport nutritions to your each organs and take aways
the waste products. Thereby, it is a good reflection of your health. Among the
many chemicals commonly found in your serum are potassium and creatinine, both
of which act as waste transporters to your kidneys, in addition to fulfilling
other vital functions. Measuring your potassium and creatinine levels can reveal
a lot about your current state of health.
High Creatinine Level
Creatinine is a product created from the breakdown of creatine, a chemical used in the energy transfer process that occurs within muscles. Once creatine has been used, it degrades into creatinine and is flushed from the muscles into the bloodstream. Your kidneys measure the potassium and creatinine in your blood. When these substances reach high levels, they are filtered out of the blood and excreted through your urine.
High Potassium Level
Potassium is an essential mineral that your body uses to ensure proper contraction of the heart and other muscles, for acid-base balance and in protein synthesis. Within the blood, it also helps move nutrients into cells and carries waste products out.
Both the deposition of creatinine and potassium in blood are the signs of kidney damage. Thereby, for patients with high creatinine level and high potassium level are suggested to take further tests of kidney functions.
In addition, a low creatinine and low potassium diet is necessary. There is a questionnaire which helps you find the personal diet list based on your own condition. If you have interest, you can get it from kidneyask@hotmail.com
