What Are Early Symptoms Of Renal Insufficiency In Women


Women are a special group, women get sick with kidney dysfunction also appear different symptoms. Well, women have early symptoms of kidney dysfunction What? Let us work together renal dysfunction in patients with attention to women's situation.
1. Blood symptoms
Renal failure patients have varying degrees of renal anemia, often mucocutaneous bleeding tendency, manifested as subcutaneous ecchymosis, gum and conjunctival hemorrhage, epistaxis, etc.
2. Digestive symptoms
The most common digestive symptoms, almost every patient has loss of appetite, bloating, nausea, vomiting, acid reflux, belching and so on. Reported symptoms of gastrointestinal ulceration incidence as high as 18% to 24%, mainly as a small amount of vomit or black stools.
3.Neuropsychiatric symptoms
Renal dysfunction incidence rate of neuropsychiatric symptoms of 13% to 86%, mainly disturbance of consciousness, cranial nerve damage, muscle spasms and seizures.
4.Cardiovascular system symptoms
What Are Early Symptoms Of Renal Insufficiency In Women
Renal dysfunction and renal hypertension were as high as 80% to 90%, were headache, dizziness, severe vomiting, convulsions and other manifestations of hypertensive encephalopathy. Renal dysfunction pericarditis incidence as high as 60% to 100%, 30% to 40% of renal dysfunction occurred pericarditis pericardial effusion. Mainly as precordial discomfort, chest tightness, chest pain. Cardiovascular system disease kidney dysfunction, a major cause of death, kidney dysfunction, death due to vascular complications accounted for 64.3% of deaths.
5. Immune dysfunction
44% incidence of urinary tract infections, gastrointestinal tract and skin infections are more common.
6.Sexual dysfunction
Women often menopause or menstrual irregularities. Where long-term anemia of unknown etiology, gastrointestinal bleeding, epistaxis, skin ecchymosis; hypertension of unknown etiology, especially young patients, the antihypertensive therapy ineffective; consciousness disorder of unknown etiology, symptomatic epilepsy; has low potassium or potassium or difficult to correct acidosis, should think of the possibility of this disease, and for further examination, for the purpose of diagnosis.
7. Respiratory symptoms
Renal dysfunction occurred in 50% of lung infection, the most common is bronchitis, bronchial pneumonia, purulent bronchitis.

Can Renal Insufficiency Patient Eat Fruit


Can  Renal Insufficiency Patient Eat Fruit
Summer is the hot season, in the summer time, my friends want to eat some fruit to hot weather. However, for people who got sick in the diet is not just, especially renal insufficiency person. Well, Can  Renal Insufficiency Patient Eat Fruit ?
Can  Renal Insufficiency Patient Eat Fruit ? Yes, of course. However, some fruit to eat, and some can not eat. What fruits can not eat, a detailed summary of this issue are as follows:
1 pear: Because pear pectin content is high, can promote digestion, promote bowel excretion. But pear cold prone to cause diarrhea, children need to eat less kidney patients, especially children stool unfit for human consumption.
2 lit patients to Eat oranges, prevent cause abdominal pain, diarrhea.
3 pineapple: pineapple containing protease, some people may occur after eating allergies, abdominal pain, diarrhea, skin flushing, generalized itching and other symptoms. So before eating the pineapple slices into the salt water soak for about 20 minutes to break down these substances and reduce the incidence of allergic reactions. Also suffering from gastrointestinal ulcers, liver and kidney disease patients should be fasting.
4 Persimmon: Persimmon cold, prone to cause Deficiency Syndrome, infirm, dry stools are advised not to eat persimmons. Persimmon tannin contained substances have strong convergence effect, prone to cause excessive consumption astringent mouth, tongue numbness, dry stool. Fasting to eat prone to stomach persimmon stone disease, causing abdominal pain.
5 Coconut: patients who have severe heart failure and edema avoid eating more fruit water content, such as eating a lot of watermelon or drinking too much coconut milk, will make effort weakness and edema.
6 Banana: Banana fruit is a cold, excessive consumption will cause damage to the stomach function, especially sick people should pay attention. Bananas are rich in potassium, nephritis patients with excessive consumption will be worse.
7 Pomegranate Anti Constipation: Chinese medicine, apples, pomegranates with convergence, can be used to deal with diarrhea, constipation, so people who want to eat less. Apple is rich in tannin and protein binding will become a convergence of tannic acid protein, making bowel slow creep stiffness, thus prolonging the retention of feces in the intestines time, easy to form constipation.

Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy And Creatinine 6.5


As you have already adopted dialysis, is there urine volume decline with your case? As mentioned, hypertension was detected september 2011, and it might be closely related to kidney function decline (we both know kidney works on regulating bp level), and my questions is whether BP level can be controlled well with medicines you are taking now? Pre dialysis creatinine level is 6.5mg/dl, and have you any idea on your present remaining kidney function or your GFR? How about the ultrasound test, and is there kidney shrinkage with your case? You have experenced diabetes for a long time, when did you first detect kidney problem? Hope hearing more about your present condition. At the same time, for Diabetic Nephropathy, we mainly adopt Stem cell transplant and Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy. I am also sending you more information for your consideration.
Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is a natural herbal therapy applied externally on acupoint of lower back (kidney area). The herbal medicine is micronized into ten thousandths of its original size. Herbal bags containing dozens of herbal medicines are soaked previously in penetrants, and then placed on the lower back part. With the help of osmosis device, effective ingredients of herbal medicines will infiltrate into kidneys through the main and channels. There is no pain, and it is kind of like a massage.
The main curative effect of this herbal therapy is to promote whole body blood circulation, and especially the blood circulation within the kidneys. If analyzed from cytology, when kidney function decline occurs, there are three types of cells in the kidneys. There are healthy cells that are overburdened: damaged but still reversible cells: and completely necrotic cells that have no function left. The necrosis is an absolute loss, but this herbal therapy helps removing blood stasis or thrombus, degrading extracellular matrixes, and dilating each level blood vessel to promote blood flowing into the kidneys. In this way, sufficient blood supply creates a great environment for the self-repairing of these damaged but still reversible cells, and prevents kidney function from further declining.

Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy Cure Mesangial Proliferative Glomerular Nephritis


Mesangial Proliferative Glomerular Nephritis is a disease that affects the glomeruli in the kidneys. Most instances of MPGN are caused by other diseases or disorders, including autoimmune diseases, chronic infections, monoclonal immunoglobulin deposition diseases, and hereditary diseases. The idiopathic type of MPGN is seen more commonly in persons aged 8-30. There is a new treatment in our hospital, which is good news for MPGN patients. It is called Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy. Here I would like to give you a brief introduction of Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy.
What is Micro-Chinese Medicine?
You may have heard of Chinese medicine (Chinese herbs) before. Here only a simple different that is 'Micro-' has been added, but the means of it have changed greatly. Let me introduce for you in detail.
How dose Micro-Chinese Medicine work in the body?
The root pathological change of kidney disease lies in the fibrosis of renal functional cells. Only when the fibrosis is blocked, can deterioration of kidney disease be stopped. Study shows that fibrosis results from the insufficiency of blood and oxygen in the kidneys. Rightly, Micro-Chinese Medicine has good curative effect to improve the state of lacking blood and oxygen. Specifically speaking, Micro-Chinese Medicine can dilate blood vessels and decrease blood coagulation, thus improving blood circulation of kidneys. In addition, it can also decrease inflammatory reaction and degrade extracellular matrixes (ECM) both of which contribute to fibrosis of renal functional cells. In this way, Micro-Chinese Medicine can effectively prevent fibrosis and thereby stop kidney disease from progressing.

Symptoms for Renal Failure


Kidney is as important as the garbage disposal to a city which is actually responsible for purifying blood and filtrating metabolic wastes. The city will be disorder and ruined if the garbage disposal has been destroyed. Therefore, life would fail if kidneys fail. To some degree, prevention is better than cure, so it is necessary for people to know more about Renal Failure. Various common symptoms of Renal Failure will be introduced in this article.
1. Changes in Urination
Most patients of Renal Failure has changes in urination. People may notice that urine may be foamy or bubbly. Some people may urinate more often than the usual. While some may urinate less often, or in smaller amounts than usual. Some times patients may also have to apply pressure while urinating. High levels of urea in blood can result in vomiting and/or diarrhea, dehydration nausea, weight loss, nocturnal urination, blood in urine and so on. There are still some people have symptoms like more frequent with pale urine or less frequent but dark coloured urine.
2.Edema
Edema or swelling may occur in legs, ankles, feet, face or hands. For some children ,it is usually a suffering. Many children with edema will have a moon-shape face, which brings pain to them in both physic and mind.
Other symptoms may be like Fatigue, Skin Rash or Itching, Metallic Taste in Mouth or Ammonia
3. Anemia
Healthy kidneys produce the hormone erythropoietin which stimulates the bone marrow to make oxygen-carrying red blood cells. As the kidneys fail, they produce less erythropoietin, resulting in decreased production of red blood cells to replace the natural breakdown of old red blood cells. As a result, the blood carries less hemoglobin, a condition known as anemia. This can result in feeling tired or weak, memory problems, difficulty concentrating, dizziness and low blood pressure.
4. Other Symptoms
Breath, Nausea and Vomiting, Shortness of Breath, Feeling Cold, Dizziness and Trouble Concentrating, Leg or flank pain may happen to patients of Renal Failure. These are actually the usual symptoms. Even if the symptoms are minor or does not have any longer impact should be brought into the notice as earlier as possible.

How to treat protein in urine


The normal 24-hour protein in urine range ≦ 0.15g, routine laboratory testing was negative.Such as urine protein> 150 mg / day, urinary protein, the human body from the urinary protein content increased significantly, and are abnormal urinary protein. Urine protein isgenerally not too serious, you are sick is not very understanding, control and treatment ofsuch patients need timely. A long period of urine protein renal inherent cell structure isdamaged, leading to kidney filtration barrier injury, can not stop resulting from theleakage of protein. Treatment only symptomatic treatment rather than the reasons fortreatment for the inherent cell structure caused by kidney damage, protein is only temporary control, easily repeated. The root cause of treatment should be inherent in thekidney cells.
How to treat protein in urine
Can be drawn from the above, the treatment of urinary protein the correct treatment is thetreatment of kidney. Kidney Disease hospital of micro-penetrationtherapy of Chinese medicine to start first from the perspective of immunology, issuedaccording to the human body tissues and organs of the holographic theory of biology,physiology, pathology information and drug action information, the overall concepts anduse of traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis and treatment methods combined with theintroduction of high-tech renal detection of ECT by U.S. Sunoco, accurate selection of kidney disease hospital developed a series of traditional Chinese medicine preparation, the use of holographic instrument kidney area iontophoresis. With the oral medicine at the same time, activate the body’s immune system, re-regulate the immune function enables the body to produce huge super-self-repair capacity, accelerate its metabolismand repair, the new health and blood stasis, regulating yin and yang, improving renal pathological changes, clear the destructive substances in the kidney (immune complexesand metabolites), the stability of residual renal function; protect cell membranes, andscavenge oxygen free radicals, thereby protecting the residual renal units, and are destroying the renal unit to recover from the fundamental, atrophy of the kidneys to improve, so that patients with renal failure to avoid, delay, or to get rid of the dialysis to achieve the restoration and preservation of residual renal function ultimately to fundamentally eliminate the urine protein, red blood cells (occult blood) in urine, so as to achieve the purpose of treatment.

Renal failure and High creatinine


People suffering from Renal Failure or some kind of kidney diseases would probably experience high creatinine levels. As a byproduct of creatine, it is produced through muscle metabolism and usually be filtered through kidneys. Due to the specific features of creatinine, it is often used for judging the kidney function. Elevatedcreatinine levels may indicate the kidney problems and requires immediate treatments.
Symptoms of high creatinine
Some individuals may find out they have Renal Failure when there is extremely high levels of creatinine in routine blood tests, without feeling any symptoms at all. In other cases, patients may suffer from problems, such as felling tired or weakness, dehydration, confusion, shortness of breath, etc.
The most common causes of longstanding kidney disease in adults are high blood pressure and Diabetes Mellitus. High serum creatinine may also be caused by ingestion of large amount of dietary meat. Other reasons may also cause high serum creatinine, which can be seen as follows:
1. Dehydration can lead to elevated creatinine by causing blood fluid concentration and reduction of kidney blood flow.
2. Nephrotoxic medicines taken by those with kidney diseases can lead to elevated creatinine, which can be irreversible.
3. Over fatigue may lead to intermittent high serum creatinine.

Dialysis in Diabetic Nephropathy: Pros and Cons

Cons and Pros for dialysis treatment in Diabetic nephropathy? End-stage diabetic nephropathy patients undergoing have two choices of dialysis: long-term hemodialysis and continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis. Recently, the vast majority of patients with end-stage diabetic nephropathy to take peritoneal dialysis, because it does not increase the heart load and stress, better control of extracellular fluid volume and hypertension. Also by intraperitoneal injection of insulin, easy to operate, cost savings, but some patients due to long-term peritoneal dialysis absorb a large number of glucose Erzhi obesity and high cholesterolDiabetic with ESRD, which type of dialysis to choose?Patients with diabetic nephropathy to advanced prone to serious deterioration of renal function, and even uremia. Although dialysis treatment is not advanced diabetic nephropathy in patients with the best treatment, but if early, long-term dialysis treatment can greatly improve the survival rate of patients. When serum creatinine in the 350-440umol / L should be prepared to vascular pathways; when serum creatinine reached 600umol / L or more, you can start dialysis treatment. Clinical in the end is to choose hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis should be selected according to the disease and the specific conditions.Hemodialysis.In diabetic nephropathy patients on long-term hemodialysis patients, 1-year survival rate of more than 80%. Older, serious condition acceptable to the dialysis treatment. Dialysis in advance, less uremic complications; where the pre-dialysis and dialysis process, better control of blood pressure, attention to fluid balance, to ensure a reasonable nutrition, the survival rate of patients will improve. Hemodialysis process can also be some problems, such as poor vascular pathways, large fluctuations in blood pressure, worsening retinopathy and even blindness and a variety of cardiovascular complications.

[Peritoneal dialysis]1-year survival rate of peritoneal dialysis in diabetic nephropathy was 80% to 90%. Its main advantages are:① cardiovascular system is more stable, better blood pressure control.② to avoid the path of blood vessels.(3) through the abdomen, and injection of insulin, blood sugar control better.The retinopathy can be stable improvement.(5) PD operation is more convenient to patients themselves.⑥ in the high molecular substances cleared.Its shortcomings: 1-prone abdominal infection after infection, easy to shadow noon dialysis effect.The peritoneal dialysis daily loss of protein l0g to pay attention to protein intake.In summary, can not be advanced diabetic nephropathy in kidney transplant ambulatory continuous peritoneal dialysis results better than hemodialysis.  

Considering  peritoneal dialysis, dialysate glucose was partially absorbed by hypertonic dialysate induced hyperosmolar coma, so pay attention to the use of insulin dose adjustment, while avoiding hypoglycemia. However, the possibility of peritonitis in peritoneal dialysis when compared with non-diabetic patients, should pay close attention to actively prevent infection. Dialysis costs are high, the patient's body is even more painful. Is there a treatment more effective and more to reduce the suffering of the patient? 
The answer is yes. after painstaking research, the original micro-based traditional Chinese medicine penetration therapy.

In recent years,incidence of Diabetes and hypertension increased significantly i coupled with the arrival of an aging society. The elderly renal function itself is a downward trend in the role of various etiologies, renal function is more easily damaged. Easy to overlook a lot of patients have symptoms of kidney disease before the knowledge of the kidneys and kidney disease, little is known about or nothing about, so that kidney disease has shown. Patients disapprove, of these symptoms is fatigue due to rest for some time will heal. There are still some patients, due to economic conditions, the disease can have a delaying tactics, less than a last resort not the hospital. Whether it is inadvertently overlooked, or the indifference of the disease, depicting disease in slow development of deterioration, and eventually developed into uremia uremia is a serious kidney disease, most doctors recommend dialysis, then, under what circumstances must do dialysis do?

  
 Indications to rapidly start dialysis in chronic renal failure:
    (1) drugs can not control the hyperkalemia ≥ 6.5mmol / L;

    
(2) sodium retention, oliguria, anuria, high degree of edema associated with heart failure, pulmonary edema, high blood pressure;

    
(3) metabolic acidosis pH <7.2;

    
(4) complicated by uremic pericarditis, gastrointestinal bleeding, central nervous system symptoms such as trance, drowsiness, coma, convulsions, and psychiatric symptoms.

    
Second, early dialysis indications: uremia progress quickly obvious deterioration in general condition, severe gastrointestinal symptoms, and can not eat, malnutrition; concurrent peripheral neuropathy; red blood cell volume in 15%; diabetic nephropathy, kidney disease of connective tissue disease, old age patients.

    
Third, the clinical manifestations of uremia, such as nausea, vomiting, edema, heart failure;

    
Above, serum creatinine> 707.2μmmol / L, and endogenous creatinine clearance <10ml/min; uremic nitrogen to 30mmol / L (80mg/d1)

    
In addition the experts advise patients to control blood sugar and blood fat,follow a  low-salt diet, limit protein intake, smoking cessation, avoid renal Poison, lifestyle changes, correction of anemia, correction of acidosis, the treatment of renal osteodystrophy, correcting malnutrition, treatment cardiovascular complications and so on. The doctor will accurately determine when to require dialysis treatment, ahead of a comprehensive pre-dialysis missionary. So be sure to actively cooperate with the doctors.

How to Reduce Creatinine Level for Patients with Polycystic Kidney Disease

Creatine is used as a source of energy by your muscles. According to MayoClinic.com, 95 percent of creatine in the body is located in your skeletal system. Too much creatine in your body can lead to muscle cramping or gastrointestinal symptoms such as stomach discomfort, diarrhea and nausea.
creatinine level is usually considered as one of the items that can reflect glomerular filtrating function.
In stage of Polycystic Kidney, cysts are still small and their pressure on kidney is also small. Besides, symptoms usually appear after pathological injury. So creatinine level is normal in this stage. But when creatinine begins to increase, it usually means that kidneys have already been injured.
When the kidneys cannot work efficiently, as with Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD), creatinine levels may rise. How to lower creatinine effectively?
1. Vegetarian diet: By consuming a largely plant based diet you will be helping your body in a few distinct ways
- Dietary sources of creatine and creatinine are only found within animal products, therefore you will be reducing the burden of “extra” creatine and creatinine circulating through your blood by eating a largely plant based diet.
2. Avoid creatine supplements: not only do high doses of this large molecule cause kidney problems (because of its large size it can cause the kidneys to swell), but by supplying the body with extra creatine, you will cause more creatine to be spontaneously converted to the by-product creatinine.
3. Avoid strenuous physical activity: thereby decreasing the breakdown of creatine into creatinine.
4. Nettle leaf tea: drink 1 to 2 cups a day. Nettle leaf tea is a simple yet powerful kidney tonic that can improve kidney function and reduce serum creatinine levels. (Tip: Double check that it is the leaf and not the root, the leaf if for your kidneys, the root is for male prostate disorders)
5. Avoid the over consumption of Vanadium: Although very beneficial for the body, particularly for diabetes and blood sugar problems, over consumption of the mineral vanadium has been linked to increased blood creatinine levels (stay under 100mcg a day).

Cause Of High Creatinine Levels In Blood


The kidneys are primarily responsible for regulating the levels of creatinine in the blood and any factor that tends to interfere with normal functioning of the kidney can result in elevated levels of creatine in the blood. These factors include,
Kidney dysfunction caused due to azotemia or kidney failure is one of the primary cause of high creatinine levels
Kidney stones and recurrent urinary tract infections may also be responsible for elevated levels of creatinine
Hypertension and diabetes mellitus may also result in impaired kidney functions which in turn may result in elevated levels of serum creatinine
Certain drugs and medications are also responsible for transit rise in the creatinine levels
Consumption of large amount of dietary meat may also result in elevated levels of creatinine which is often transient
Malnutrition may result in excessive breakdown of proteins in the body, which in turn would result in elevated levels of creatinine levels

How to reduce creatinine naturally


Creatinine is a very important source of energy for our body. Obtained from foods and other supplements available from health food stores, creatinine is used by the body to increase levels of energy and the mass of muscles.
However, for cases of over-intake of creatinine supplements may lead to a great increase in its levels in our body. In this case, a person with high creatinine is at great risk to heart and kidney damage, dehydration, and in worst cases, death.
Too much creatine in your body can lead to muscle cramping or gastrointestinal symptoms such as stomach discomfort, diarrhea and nausea. Decreasing creatine can help alleviate these symptoms.
Step 1
Visit your physician. Your physician can run tests and find out if you have creatine allergies or other conditions that require a decrease in creatine levels.
Step 2
Avoid supplementing creatine. Creatine is often used by athletes to improve muscle building and to raises energy during workouts. If you currently take creatine supplements, gradually reduce your intake to give your body time to adapt and return to normal levels.
Step 3
Cut down on red meat intake. Red meats are a natural source of creatine. Fish such as herring, tuna, and salmon all contain substantial amounts. If your diet is high in these types of foods, consider cutting back or eliminating intake. You can replace meat proteins with legumes or whey protein.
Step 4
Drink more water. According to the American College of Sports Medicine, since creatine is excreted in your urine, flushing out your system by drinking more water can help rid your body of excess creatine. Try to drink a minimum of eight, 8-oz. glasses of water per day to help eliminate creatine.

Increased urea and creatinine are mainly caused by renal failure or decreased kidney function. Kidneys work as filters in our body. Filtering the toxins out from our body and cleansnig the blood. If the kidneys are not working properly due to Diabetic nephropathy, Renal artery stenosis (genetic or due to chronic blood pressure) and other kidney diseases like renal cysts, malignancies, tumors, drugs and others.

Can Polycystic kidney disease caused renal failure


Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is a genetic disorder characterized by the growth of numerous cysts in the kidneys. The kidneys are two organs, each about the size of a fist, located in the upper part of a person's abdomen, toward the back. The kidneys filter wastes and extra fluid from the blood to form urine. They also regulate amounts of certain vital substances in the body. When cysts form in the kidneys, they are filled with fluid. PKD cysts can profoundly enlarge the kidneys while replacing much of the normal structure, resulting in reduced kidney function and leading to kidney failure.
When PKD causes kidneys to fail-which usually happens after many years-the patient requires dialysis or kidney transplantation. About one-half of people with the most common type of PKD progress to kidney failure, also called end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The duration from early stage Polycystic Kidney Disease to end-stage Renal Failure differs in different persons. A good nursing in daily life and timely treatment can all affect the duration. In addition, factors such as infections, not well controlled complications, improper diet, strenuous exercise, drinking or smoking can all aggravate the illness condition or fasten up the deterioration of Polycystic Kidney Disease into Renal Failure.
PKD can also cause cysts in the liver and problems in other organs, such as blood vessels in the brain and heart. The number of cysts as well as the complications they cause help doctors distinguish PKD from the usually harmless "simple" cysts that often form in the kidneys in later years of life.

How to Prevent Renal Failure for Polycystic Kidney Disease?

1. When the kidney is invaded by inflammation or stones the kidney tubules epithelial will appear phenotype transformation and then the permeability of cyst wall decreases so that the cyst liquid secreted by cyst wall can not be discharged out of human body. Then the cyst liquid will accumulate into the cyst which will lead to the increase in size of cysts along with the time passing by. So the key point to treat Polycystic Kidney Disease is to control and shrink the size of cysts and supply new nephrons to play renal function which should have been done by those necrotic nephrons.Keep good moods and avoid overwork. Follow the doctor’s advice. Have a light diet and eat more fruits. Control the intake of protein. It is better for your health to give up smoking and alcohol. When high blood pressure is serous and edema happens, restrict the salt intake. Properly exercise but avoid the extensive exercise.

2.keep a balanced diet
3.Active treatment

Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy and Immunotherapy is taken to treat Polycystic Kidney Disease, of which the former is used to repair the damaged kidneys by shrnking and controlling the cysts, and the later is applied to regenerate kidney functions by producing new nephrons.the active substance of Micro-Chinese Medicine can restrain the secretion of cyst wall epithelial cell; prevent the continuous expanding of bursa wall vessels and cyst. This therapy fundamentally controls the enlargement of cysts and repairs the damaged renal nephrons.

Blood Purification for Lupus Nephritis

Treatment lupus erythematosus is one involving the multi-system of the body organ, the complexity of the clinical manifestations, the prolonged course of repeated autoimmune diseases. Lupus erythematosus can be divided into two main categories of systemic lupus erythematosus and discoid lupus erythematosus. Subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus, is a cross between skin lesions of discoid lupus erythematosus and systemic lupus erythematosus. The treatment of lupus erythematosus available plasma replacement method, the following is the introduction of plasma exchange method.

The treatment of lupus erythematosus through plasma exchange: plasma exchange, double filtration. Plasma adsorption: a rapid decline in the blood faster to improve the condition of antibodies and immune complexes, but still a short-term palliative expedient therapy required with the application of hormones and immunosuppressive agents. Concurrent infection, coagulopathy, water and electrolyte imbalance, and other side effects. And expensive.

Treatment of lupus erythematosus, plasma exchange method is suitable for severe lupus erythematosus associated with high levels of circulating immune complexes and acute diffuse proliferative lupus nephritis and glomerular sclerosis in patients with severe.

The treatment of lupus erythematosus, plasma exchange method is the blood of lupus patients, the introduction of a plasmapheresis device, the separated plasma was discarded, and supplement the inevitable fresh plasma or substitutes, such as 4% human serum albumin, and Ringer . Some patients before treatment to help clear soluble immune complexes and some antibodies, to accept this treatment the circulating immune complexes at high levels decreased significantly after treatment, and often get a good recent treatment. Plasmapheresis method in the treatment process prone to infection, coagulation disorders and complications such as water and electrolyte disturbance, this therapy can only be used as short-term adjuvant therapy in lupus treatment, not long-term use. Plasma exchange therapy can only clear the existing plasma immune complexes, but can not prevent these substances generated when treatment with hormones and immunosuppressive agents, in order to ensure safe and reliable treatment method: Each replacement from 1 to 1.5 liters, week 2 liters, minutes 2-4 times, repeat for a course of 2-3 weeks.

End-Stage Kidney Disease Caused by Lupus Nephritis Treatment Option

Systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE) is an autoimmune disorder. Cinically, approximately involvement of kidney injury occurs in approximately 30 cases. The condition in Lupus Nephritis greatly affect the prognosis in the patients. The patients with Lupus Nephritis and kidney failure have treatment options as follows:
Immunosupressive medications. 
Immunosupressive medications have the function to inhibit inflammations in the kidneys and thus reliving symptoms in the patients. However, Lupus Nephritis patients recurs easily because the treatments applied to them don;t help to improve kidney functions or correct the immune system at all. That's also the reason why the patients find difficulty in controlling their conditions. 
Dialysis
Dialysis is a way to reduce the wastes accumulated in the body so as to greatly reduce complications in brains, heart, gastrointestinal tract,  endocrine system, etc. As for the patients, dialysis is a temporary approach to get rid of the wastes in the body, however, it doesn't help repair kidneys thus it is suggested to adopt it as a temporary treatment instead of a life-long reliance. 
Kidney transplantation. 
Kidney transplantation substitute the failing kidney with a new one. However,applying immunosuppressive medications for life-long is indeed boring for the patients. in some, their creatinine level may increase within years, and in some they may return to dialysis again. 
Immunotherapy treatment is a comprehensive treatment which treats Lupus Nephritis from several aspects; first, the treatment can correct the immune system and recover immune disorder; second, the treatment can get rid of the antibodies, immune complexes and other wasteful products in bloodstream thus naturally reducing their further attack to kidneys; third, traditional Chinese herbal medicines are effective in repairing  injured kidney cells, improving kidney functions and thus hopefully getting away from dialysis in the patients. 

If a loved one has Lupus and kidney failure, effective treatments are the best ways to improve life quality in the patients.

Avoid kidney transplant with pkd patient

Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is a genetic disorder characterized by the growth of numerous cysts in the kidneys. The kidneys are two organs, each about the size of a fist, located in the upper part of a person's abdomen, toward the back. The kidneys filter wastes and extra fluid from the blood to form urine. They also regulate amounts of certain vital substances in the body. When cysts form in the kidneys, they are filled with fluid. PKD cysts can profoundly enlarge the kidneys while replacing much of the normal structure, resulting in reduced kidney function and leading to kidney failure.

Kidney transplant is expected to replace one of the cysts-filled kidneys, leading a longer life. Compared with dialysis, transplant is considered as a better choice for dialysis hardly is cast off.

kidney transplant can not remove the cysts completely. What’s more, it will lead to damage to the kidneys. The final result will be dialysis and Kidney Transplant.
How to treat polycystic kidney disease other than kidney transplant and dialysis?

1. Traditional Chinese Medicine is an herbal remedy which is composed of natural herbs which can accelerate blood circulation, eliminate inflammation and shrink renal cysts naturally. Besides, it is designed to add the tonic herbs to repair the damaged renal tissues and refresh the poor kidney functions.

2. Immunotherapy is targeted at shrinking the cysts and alleviating hypoxia and ischemia in the kidneys. Actually it is not a single therapy; it is usually combined with medicated bath and food bath to take effects. They have the functions of dilating blood vessels, eliminating blood stasis, balancing disorders and removing metabolic wastes and toxins out of the body through blood circulation.

Immunotherapy for End-stage Renal Failure caused by lupus

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus(SLE) is a kind of auto-immune disease, so the only thorough therapy for SLE is to regulate the abnormal immune system, not just to take some immunosuppressive medications to prevent the abnormal immune response, actually, when the abnormal immune response is prevented, the normal immune response also will be affected, leading to serious side effects.

End-stage renal disease is one of the most significant complications of systemic lupus erythematosus . Previous investigators have evaluated the morbidity and mortality of different renal replacement treatment modalities in these patients. Earlier reports have suggested that the systemic manifestations of SLE diminish, or "burn out," once ESRD occurs. These investigators also suggested that vascular access complications were a significant cause ofmorbidity and mortality in these patients treated with hemodialysis ( HD ). A retrospective review of the records of6 patients with ESRD from lupus nephritis (LN), who received both HD and peritoneal dialysis (PD), was performed to determine i/there was a difference in disease activity between treatment modalities, using patients as se/fcontrols. The number of SLE flares was determined by clinical and/ or serologic studies, and prednisone dosages compared for each treatment modality. F our of the 6 patients continued to have active SLE after renal replacement therapy was begun. There were no significant differences in the number ofSLE flares or prednisone dosages while receiving either treatment modality .While PD eliminates problems associated with vascular access, both HD and PD )/ere effective forms of renal replacement therapy. Most patients in this study continued to have active SLE after commencement of dialysis, with no differences in disease activity noted during HD or PD.

Without thorough therapy, SLE is easy to lead to complications, judging from your test reports,
sorry to say your kidneys have been injured, besides, the test report showed that you have DVT,
Anticardiolipin antibody syndrome, one kind of auto-immune disease.
Do you the meaning of Creatinine level?
Creatinine level can reflect the toxin level in body, there are totally about 200 kinds of toxins
in body every day, if the kidneys are failed to work, those toxin will be accumulated into the
blood, testing Creatinine level can reflect the toxin levels in body. If only judging from the
Creatinine level, sorry to say about 60% of your kidneys have been injured, in other words, only
about 40% of your kidneys still work normally.
I think you have taken immunosuppressive medications, the medical effects of such medicines and
the side effects caused by such medicines, you should have known. Only depending on such
medicines can't help you much.
Is it possible for you to come to China for treatments?
Our hospital is located in China, we only treat kidney disease, now we are the largest kidney disease specialized hospital in China.Our hospital is set up in 1986, we mainly use Chinese herbal Medicine Therapy, supplemented by Western Medicine Therapy. As for SLE or Lupus Nephritis, we mainly adopt Immune Therapy in our hospital. Pls note Immune Therapy not refers to those immunosuppressive medication treatments,it's a kind of systemic therapy. Such therapy contains 6 steps, that is Immune Examination,
Immune clearance, Immune blocking, Immune tolerance,Immune protection,Immune clearance .

Renal failure is to choose dialysis or kidney transplantation


Dialysis is through the filter to selectively exclude certain substances in the blood. In other words, by artificial means the toxic waste, water and salt accumulation in the body in patients with renal failure drain, so that the physical condition of the patient's recovery or reach a healthy state. There are two currently used forms of dialysis: hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. Hemodialysis using a special machine to replace kidney function. Peritoneal dialysis the peritoneum of the human body acts as a filter and remove toxins. Either dialysis modality, can only temporarily exercise the functions of the kidneys, the body of toxins excreted temporarily saved the lives of patients. Not have a fundamental role for the treatment of impaired kidney repair, we can not effectively block the process of renal fibrosis. Final condition will worsen, but a matter of time. So dialysis is a "means" temporarily "relieve patient suffering.
Kidney transplant is surgery, organ donor kidney transplantation to the process of receiving a transplant patient's body. The possible sources of the kidney: family, spouse, close friend or brain death and during his lifetime to sign an agreement to donate organs. Of course, the best match of the kidney is usually from the transplant recipient brothers and sisters, because their genes with the most likely. Kidney transplantation is the treatment of kidney failure, the best way, because the kidney transplanted into the patient's body is almost completely replaced by
Kidney function and renal failure and allow patients to resume a normal life, get rid of the pain of life by dialysis. Unfortunately, not every renal failure patients have the opportunity to receive a kidney transplant. Because it is difficult to find a suitable replacement kidney.
Kidney transplantation is the best treatment for the treatment of end-stage uremia, compared with hemodialysis, it has the following advantages:
A, serum creatinine recovery or near normal levels, which significantly improved a range of symptoms in chronic uremia, nausea, itching, pericarditis;
Second, to avoid loss of nutrients caused by hemodialysis; and correct anemia, improve sexual function, making the patient physically be restored;
Restoration of social activities and work, increased movement and travel, and improve quality of life;
Fourth, from the overall macro perspective, can be reduced in patients with medical spending, greatly prolong life.

Why renal function loss can cause renal failure in patients with nausea and vomiting?


1, renal failure will be caused by increased blood urea nitrogen, urease to decompose urea to ammonia, thereby stimulating the gastrointestinal mucosa cause nausea, vomiting.
2, renal failure, urinary concentration function decline, so many patients with nocturia, caused the blood concentration, thereby causing elevated blood urea nitrogen, so Obviously the symptoms of nausea in the morning.
The experts recommend patients up in the morning, you should pay attention to add moisture to do so can make the blood would not concentrate, while allowing the blood urea nitrogen values ​​remained relatively stable. Thus avoiding the early morning when nausea or vomiting, exacerbation of the phenomenon.
