Kidney Disease Care

Chronic Kidney Disease develops when your kidneys start to lose function. It can happen gradually or very quickly, so knowing its cause can help you get the right treatment from the start and help keep your kidneys healthy. Diabetes is the leading cause of kidney disease. When diabetes is not controlled, or when a person has diabetes over many years, excess sugar that gets into the bloodstream damages the blood vessels, which leads to decreased kidney function. High blood pressure, or hypertension, is the second most common cause of kidney disease and is responsible for about 28% of kidney failure. If left untreated, the blood vessels in your kidneys that carry blood throughout the body can be permanently damaged. The good news is, you can care for your kidneys by controlling your blood sugar and blood pressure. Kidney disease is not contagious, but it can run in families. So if one of your family members has diabetes, high blood pressure or kidney disease, you could be at r

Your kidneys take care of you every day. The kidneys are vital organs in our bodies. They clean waste products out of your blood and eliminate excess fluids, turning them into urine to exit your body through your bladder. By maintaining a healthy diet and lifestyle, you can take active steps towards making sure your kidneys are well taken care of...

This is a common question. Why a cold can cause nephritis?A cold belongs to upper respiratory tract infection or mucosal infection. IgA Nephropathy is nephritis caused by repeated colds or mucosal infections, and the nephritis after streptococcal infection in children is also such a disease. Generally, the symptoms of nephritis occur 2 weeks after infection, which is the same as nephrotic syndrome. In summary, IgA nephropathy , glomerulonephritis , and streptococcal infectious nephropathy are very common during colds. When you have a cold, do not take medicine blindly.

The textbook says that creatinine over 707 is uremia and requires dialysis to solve the creatinine problem. But in clinical practice, creatinine 707 is not the only indicator to decide dialysis . And your doctor will take all indicators into consideration to put forward the best treatment plan. For example, to check your GFR . GFR is also an indicator that decides whether you need dialysis. When it is lower than 10, dialysis may have to be done.

Minimal Change Disease is the most common cause of Nephrotic Syndrome in children, accounting for 60%-70%. It is also seen in adults with nephrotic syndrome, but is less common. This disease is termed steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome. After steroid application, proteinuria will turn negative, and swelling will be relieved or even disappear. But it gets relapse easily. If the patient gets relapse frequently, simply steroids are not enough. And immunosuppressant should be added. Different patients have different medical condition and age, so the medication is different. It is suggested to use steroid and immunosuppressant together for minimal change disease.

The relationship between kidney disease and high blood pressure is very close. Kidney can secrete renin, which can regulate the metabolism and balance of body fluids so as to maintain the stability of blood pressure, when the kidney is damaged, the balance will be disturbed, and then blood pressure will rise clinically. To control the blood pressure well is helpful to reduce kidney damage and slow down the progression. The first thing to control blood pressure is not drugs, but salt restriction. For healthy people, people should eat salt no more than 5g, and for kidney patients, it should no more than 2g.

Dialysis is a treatment that does some of the things done by healthy kidneys. It is needed when your own kidneys can no longer take care of your body's needs.But once dialysis starts, it cannot be stopped, and it has many side effects. When is dialysis needed? You need dialysis when you develop end stage kidney failure --usually by the time you lose about 85 to 90 percent of your kidney function and have a GFR of <15. What does dialysis do? When your kidneys fail, dialysis keeps your body in balance by: 1.removing waste, salt and extra water to prevent them from building up in the body 2.keeping a safe level of certain chemicals in your blood, such as potassium, sodium and bicarbonate 3.helping to control blood pressure Is kidney failure permanent? In chronic or end stage kidney failure, your kidneys do not get better and you will need dialysis for the rest of your life. Do dialysis patients have to control their diets? Yes.

“There is blood in urine. I suspect it is nephritis. How to treat it?” For some people, when they see there is red blood cells or gross hematuria, they begin to suspect to have nephritis. In fact, that is not right.  In most cases of nephritis, there is not only red blood cells, but also occult blood and protein in urine. And many other conditions can also cause blood urine, such as Nephrotic Syndrome, mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis and Nutcracker syndrome.  Therefore, it is suggested to have a comprehensive checkup to make a clear diagnosis. And to diagnose early and treat it early.

Some people may ask what to do with skin itching for uremia patients. Because toxins in the blood can not be discharged from body. Where are those toxins going? Creatinine, urea, uric acid and other toxins go into the blood, leading to skin itching. Uremia can also cause metabolic disorders of trace elements, such as potassium, sodium and phosphorus. Simply high phosphorus can also cause skin itching. If you have started dialysis, it is necessary to have an adequate dialysis to filter the macromolecular and middle molecular toxins from the blood.

First of all, let’s learn what is Lupus Nephritis. This disease seems to be fierce, but it is actually a problem of immune system, which affects all organs in body. If you only have proteinuria 3+, it is hard to judge whether it is lupus nephritis or not. In fact, Lupus Nephritis has special checkups to check the special substances in the blood, that is, immunoassay, for example, examination of antinuclear antibodies, examination of smith antibodies, etc. After those checkups, we will have a clear diagnosis of lupus nephritis.

At present, novel coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak in the entire world. Are people with CKD at higher risk for COVID 19? If you have such a concern, this article will be helpful for you. CKD  patients have low immunity, so they run a higher risk for COVID 19. For people with c hronic kidney disease ( CKD ), immunity is usually very low. And the use of immunosuppressants and steroids to reduce proteinuria can further lower the immunity. With weak immune system, virus and bacteria invade into body easily. That is why kidney patients run a higher risk for COVID 19. Common infection can make the kidney condition worse, not to mention COVID 19. It is extra important for you to take actions to reduce your risk of getting sick with COVID-19. 1. Wash hands frequently using flowing water and soap 2. Wear masks when going out no matter you have cold symptoms or not. That is really important. 3. Cover your nose and mouth with tissue or a flexed elbow when coughing or sneezing 4. A

According to my clinical experience, it is unnecessary to do kidney biopsy with proteinuria 3+. Why? Because it can make a clear diagnosis with biochemical diagnosis, physical diagnosis and urine analysis. Do not rely on kidney biopsy, because it has a high risk. There are only several kidney diseases that cause proteinuria 3+, such as Nephrotic Syndrome. Every disease has their special characteristic and general characteristic. Therefore, you can use exclusive method to exclude the disease that you do not have. All in all, it is not suggested to do kidney biopsy with proteinuria 3+.

What causes urine protein? It's not that there's too much protein in your body that's leaking out of your urine, it's that there's something wrong with your kidneys. It is due to inflammatory response or other autoimmune response, protein spills out of body into urine. Long-term proteinuria will certainly destroy basement membrane of the kidney. What is worse, it can make glomerular inflammation develop to sclerosis stage or even necrosis stage. Long-term urinary proteins, no matter how large or small they are, will certainly damage your glomeruli. Once the glomeruli are sclerotic, your kidney filtration function will definitely decline, and over time, uremia occurs.

Acupuncture involves the insertion of very thin needles through your skin at strategic points on your body. Traditional Chinese medicine explains acupuncture as a technique for balancing the flow of energy or life force — known as chi or qi (chee) — believed to flow through pathways (meridians) in your body. By inserting needles into specific points along these meridians, acupuncture practitioners believe that your energy flow will re-balance. How does acupuncture treat kidney disease? The main functions of acupuncture are dredging channels and meridians, eliminating blood and qi stasis so as to promote blood circulation and increase blood flow to the kidneys. This can greatly improve renal ischemia and hypoxia by providing enough blood, oxygen and other nutritions which can help prevent further renal damages and promoting repairing of damaged renal tissues and recovering renal functions. Practicing acupuncture can also help relive chronic renal pain and fatigue, impro

Generally speaking, kidney disease can be controlled very well after three years’ treatment, but yours is not cured so that you want to give up, that’s really a pity. Because of persistent proteinuria, your glomeruli have been sclerosis. Currently, your proteinuria is 3+. I hope you do a systemic checkup to make clear the diagnosis. Many factors can affect your treatment effect, including your own factor, for example, do not take medicine on time or dose. I suggest you follow the doctor’s advice strictly. Only when the medicine reaches the dose can it take effect. And it usually takes about 1 or 2 month’s treatment to have a good effect. At last, you should set up confidence to fight against kidney disease. You can overcome it finally.

Steroid is not panacea. For some patients, it is effective, while for some others, it does not take effect. Strictly speaking, different types of pathology needs different medication. Here I suggest you go to see a doctor and have a detailed checkup to find out what on earth is the reason. Steroid is like a double-edged sword. On the positive side, it takes effect quickly. On the negative side, it causes a variety of side effects. Especially after long-term treatment, steroids can cause osteoporosis and other complications. Therefore, it is better to avoid drug abuse.

Creatinine 4.8 means that you are at stage 3 kidney failure which is the key stage of renal disease . Without effective treatment controlling, higher and higher creatinine level occurs. Therefore, patients are eager to know how can they control creatinine 4.8 with stage 3 kidney failure. First of all, do you know why do stage 3 kidney failure patients suffer from creatinine 4.8? The reason why patients suffer from high creatinine level is that the kidney can not work normally. With decreasing kidney function, the kidney can not work normally, as a result, large amount of toxins and wastes build up into your blood. Without excreting wastes and toxins out of body properly, high creatinine level occurs. Besides, dialysis helps patients reduce high creatinine level by excreting wastes and toxins out of body. But it can not repair the diseased cells and tissues in kidney. As you are on dialysis, the diseased kidney cells and tissues still keeps worsen. Therefore, high creatinine

Someone asked me whether urine protein 3+ is kidney disease or not. First of all, we should know that there is no protein in urine for healthy people. But because of some factors, such as fatigue, catching a cold, medication, and diet change, protein may present in urine, but it is not 3+, but +- or only 1+. Under such a condition, you need another test. If you have 3+ protein in urine, it is necessary to see a doctor.

1. Bed rest is very important for acute nephritis patients Lying in bed can increase renal blood flow, improve abnormal change of urine, prevent and reduce complications as well as preventing reinfection. When edema subsides, blood pressure drops, and the urine abnormality is relieved, you can take a walk properly, and gradually increase mild activities. Do not increase the intensity of activity suddenly. 2. Anti-infection treatment. Acute stage of nephritis in the case of infection should be given enough anti infective treatment. When there is no infection, it is generally not necessary. 3. Edema treatment. Mild edema does not need treatment, and can disappear after salt restriction and rest. If there is obvious edema, drugs should be used. 4.Treatment of hypertension and heart failure. For patients with obviously increased blood pressure, it is not suitable for the blood pressure to drop suddenly, or even fall to normal, so as to prevent the sudden decrease of renal blood fl

1. Pay attention to the cleanness of personal hygiene and environmental sanitation, develop good habits of living and health, keep a relaxed and happy mood at any time, and strengthen the self-care awareness. 2. Beware of bacterial or viral infection, which is the most common cause of acute nephritis. Especially upper respiratory tract infection, asymptomatic bacteriuria, influenza, laryngitis, bronchitis and so on, may aggravate the symptoms of chronic nephritis. 3. Active prevention and treatment of infection focus and acute nephritis. Reduce the chance of body infection, prevent catching cold, suppurative tonsillitis, skin suppurative infection and other diseases. 4. Pay attention to diet and nutrition. Nephritis patients should avoid high protein diet, pay attention to food safety, eat fresh fruits and natural food. The principle is variety, reasonable collocation, light and delicious. In order to be healthy, we must have correct living habits and good mentality. And pr

In stage 3 chronic kidney disease (CKD), the kidneys still function sufficiently to remove fluid, potassium potassium and a moderate amount of waste. In order to help slow the progression of CKD, managing blood pressure, glucose and weight, among other things, is important and can be done through adhering to a kidney diet. To get started, check out these eight diet and nutrition goals when you have stage 3 CKD: 1. Count your calories. Adequate calories can either prevent weight loss if you’re at a desirable weight or provide extra calories if you are underweight. Weigh yourself often and keep track to see if you need additional or fewer calories. Your dietitian will determine a desirable weight and monitor your progress. 2. Eat the right kinds of fats. If you have cardiovascular disease or your blood cholesterol is high, unhealthy fats—such as saturated fats and trans-fats—should be replaced by poly- and monounsaturated fats from vegetable oil, canola oil and olive oil.

1. Proteinuria In nephritis, the permeability of glomerular capillary wall increases so that the plasma albumin is filtered by basement membrane, and then proteinuria is produced. 2. Hypertension Through regulating the metabolism of water and sodium, the kidney can affect the effective circulating blood volume, and produce renin which affects the renin-angiotension-aldosterone system, leading to hypertension. 3. Eyelid edema Chronic nephritis may present with eyelid swelling. The patient's body will have excess water, which will cause this phenomenon of edema. 4. Tubular urine Tubules are formed by coagulation and precipitation of albumin in urine, so in nephritis, there should be tubules in urine. 5. Anemia Renal anemia is usually caused by dilution due to water retention; when the glomeruli are seriously damaged, erythropoietin is reduced and anemia occurs.

The Polycystic Kidney disease affects the kidneys of the patient. The clusters of cysts formed on kidneys can affect the urine treatment and blood pressure of the patient. The kidneys are enlarged and they lose function over time. It is, therefore necessary to recognize the symptoms such as high blood pressure, headache, back-side pain, increased the size of the abdomen due to kidney enlargement, kidney stones, and kidney failure, etc. Managing the symptoms and controlling the blood pressure is the most important treatment for polycystic kidney disease . Although there is no proven Polycystic Kidney disease diet , it will surely help to maintain the healthy lifestyle after the disease’s descend on the patient to avoid further complications. In Polycystic Kidney disease diet , more focus is on controlling the blood pressure of the patient. Controlling the weight and thus reducing the pressure on the kidneys will also contribute to the patients’ health. There is a lot of waste build

Food is an integral part of any individual’s life. It forms the components through which the body gets the energy it needs to push through the day. However, food has its limits, and misuse can lead to poor health conditions and the development of lifestyle diseases. Individuals suffering from IgA nephropathy have a strict diet that aims at keeping their blood pressure levels and body cholesterol in balance. IgA Nephropathy: What it is? It is a medical condition that results from health immunoglobulin A becoming defective. Once damaged, they settle on the kidneys preventing it from performing its functions properly. In turn, an individual suffers from high blood pressure and increased cholesterol levels. The disease symptoms include blood in the urine (tea or brown urine color), proteins in urine, edema or swelling of your feet and hands, back pain, especially on the side and high blood pressure. Commonly, IgA nephropathy affects individuals aged between 15 years and 53 years.

If your kidney function is 22%, is there a need for dialysis or is there something else that can be done to raise the kidney function from 22%? 22% kidney function indicates you are in stage 4 kidney disease. Dialysis usually has been done. But it can not improve your renal function. With dialysis treatment, your renal function will become lower. Then what treatment can raise kidney function from 22% other than dialysis? In hospital, China, use Toxin-Removing Treatment to raise kidney function. What is Toxin-Removing Treatment? As its name suggests, it aims to remove toxins out. After many years of our clinical experiment, we find out that the root cause of kidney disease is toxin in bloodstream. These toxins such as inflammatory factors and immune complexes attack blood circulatio, less and less nutrition and oxygen can be transported to kidney cells, leading to kidney damage. Thus, the first step in kidney disease treatment is to remove toxins out. Toxin-Removing Treatment

The stages of chronic kidney disease are determined by the glomerular filtration rate. Glomerular filtration is the process by which the kidneys filter the blood, removing excess wastes and fluids. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is a calculation that determines how well the blood is filtered by the kidneys. It is one way to measure kidney function. Glomerular filtration rate is usually calculated using a formula that includes a person's age, gender, race, and serum creatinine levels. A GFR under 60 mL/min/1.73 m² may indicate kidney disease. The lower the GFR number, the worse the kidney function. This number is an estimate. It may not be a good measure of kidney health in some people, such as the very young or very old, amputees, or obese people. In some cases, GFR may also be estimated with a 24-hour urine collection. Chronic kidney disease is defined as either kidney damage or GFR of less than 60 for longer than 3 months. If you have kidney disease and w
