Proteinuria is an important factor in causing the progression of Renal Failure. A lot of studies show that proteinuria has nephrotoxicity.
1. The accumulation of blood albumin in the mesangial area can cause injury,
proliferation of mesangial cells and the increasing of matrix synthesis thus
causing glomerulosclerosis.
2. In normal case, the filtrated protein by glomeruli can be reabsorbed by
proximal renal tubule. Moreover, some macromolecular protein can leak into renal
tubule if the kidney function is damaged. This part of protein can cause damage
to the epithelial cells of proximal renal tubule. Some researches prove that
many kinds of protein have toxicity to tubule.
3. Proteinuria can cause renal tubulointerstitial ischemia and anoxia.
Proteinuria can aggravate the pathological process thus causing kidney damage.
For example: Reabsorbing and digesting mass of protein need extra energy, which
can cause renal tubulointerstitial ischemia and anoxia thus causing damage to
renal tubular cells. As the oxgen tension is lower than oxgen intension of
systemic artery, the renal tubular cells are more sensitive to the oxgen
supplement and transport. Therefore, the renal tubular cells can be damaged
seriously for ischemia and anoxia.
4. Proteinuria can cause biological change to renal tubular. In many cases,
if the patients have proteinuria, their kidneys have hyperplasia of cells thus
causing Renal Failure. More and more statistics prove that protein can directly
change the renal tubular function thus changing its growth features and
phenotype of cell factors and matrix protein.
Therefore, the patients should not neglect the damage of proteinuria and
treat it in time so as to decrease its injury to the kidney and avoid Renal
Failure.

Do All Patients with Allergic Purpura Have Kidney Damage
Allergic purpura usually can cause multiple damages to the patients such as
skin purpura, joint diseases, and kidney damage and so on. Among those symptoms,
kidney damage is the most serious one for the patients. However, do all patients
with allergic purpura have kidney damage? The following article will give you a
detailed explanation.
In fact, not all patients with purpura have kidney damage. In most cases of allergic purpura, the renal capillaries are involved. Clinically, only 20~60% of the patients have glomerular damage. If the patients involve kidney damage, they often have the following symptoms.
1. The patients with purpura have proteinuria and hematuria. In acute period, they may have gross hematuria and then develops into microscopic hematuria. Moreover, some patients also have cast urine.
2. Some patients with kidney damage may have the symptoms of Acute Nephritis. They have hematuria, proteinuria and are also accompanied with edema, high blood pressure, decreased urine output and renal function decline.
3. The patients with kidney damage may have a large amount of proteinuria and the urine protein is above 3.5 grams in 24 hours. Moreover, they also have serious edema, hypoproteinemia and even have Nephrotic Syndrome. In some cases, their renal function declines gradually. In severe cases, the patients may have progressively declined urine output, vomit, nausea and aggravation of renal function.
If the patients with purpura have the above symptoms, they should go to take further exams to find whether they have kidney damage. For some patients with Lurpura Nephritis, as their test results become negative, they think their renal damage recovers. In fact, that is a wrong idea. Purpura Nephritis often progresses latently. If the patients can not treat the disease fundamentally in time, it is very likely to develop into Renal Failure in several years. If you are a patient with purpura and want to know if you have renal damage, please consult us on line or email to kidney-treatment@hotmail.com.

Causes of Anemia for Patients with Chronic Renal Failure
Anemia is a common complication of Chronic Renal Failure. It is caused by
several causes including the decreased hemopoietin, the reduced life expectancy
of red blood cells, uremic toxins and so on.
Hemopoietin is a kind of hormone, about 80~90% of which is secreted by kidneys. In normal case, it acts on marrow bone cells and make them differentiate into red cells. However, for the patients with Chronic Renal Failure, the renal parenchyma is damaged extensively. The residual nephrone and extrarenal tissues can only produce a small amount of hemopoietin so it can not meet the need of hematopoiesis. After the synthetic hemopoietin is used in clinical practices, renal anemia has improved obviously. It proves that hemopoietin insufficiency is the main cause of renal anemia.
Besides the hematopoiesis insufficiency, reduced life expectancy of red blood cells is also a reason for renal anemia. The normal red blood cells can love for about 120 days, but for the patients with Chronic Renal Failure, the life expectancy of their red blood cells is only 30~70 days.
Moreover, the uremic toxins in body restrain the red blood cells, which is also an important reason for renal anemia. The toxins can restrain the hematopoietic function of bone marrow and disorder the activity of hemopoietin. In addition, they also restrain the formation of haemoglobin.
Obstruction of the utilization of iron is also a nonnegligible cause of renal anemia for the patients with Chronic Renal Anemia. The ferritin level in the patients usually increases. This proves that the ability of storing and transferring iron decreases, which is closely related to the hemopoietin insufficiency.
From the above causes of renal anemia, it can be seen that anemia is caused by the declined renal function. As the kidneys are damaged, they lose their normal secretion, excretion and filtration abilities. Therefore, in order to correct renal anemia for the patients with Chronic Renal Failure, repairing the damaged renal structure and improving renal function is the first step. If you want to know more about prevention measures, diets or other aspects of renal anemia, please consult us on line or email to kidney-treatment@hotmail.com.

Why Do Patients with Kidney Disease Have Vomit and Nausea
Vomit and nausea are common symptoms for the patients with Kidney Disease,
which is very likely to cause them malnutrition and immunity to decline.
Therefore, it is very necessary for the patients to know the causes of vomit and
nausea so as to prevent their occurrence.
1. Nephrotic Syndrome
For the patients with Nephrotic Syndrome, they lose a large amount of protein in urine thus leading to hypoproteinemia. The patients not only have edema in their limbs, but also have edema in gastrointestinal tract, which can lead to digestive system dysfunction. Clinically, the patients often have vomit, nausea and diarrhea.
2. Hyponatremia
For the patients with Kidney Disease, the patients usually have hyponatremia(serumsodium< 130 umol/L) due to various causes.
(1) Excessive water build-up in body and infusion of fluid cause dilutional hyponatremia;
(2) Limit salt intake
(3) When the patients suffer from metabolic acidosis, the sodium outside cells transfers into cells;
(4) Some patients with Interstitial Nephropathy, their renal tubules lose the reabsorption ability;
(5) If the patients use diuretic irrationally in the long term, it is very likely to lead to hyponatremia.
3. Metabolic acidosis
For metabolic acidosis, some patients with Chronic Renal Failure can not discharge acid metabolic product thus accumulating in body and leading to acidosis. Consequently, the patients will have vomit and nausea.
1. For some patients, after they use cyclophosphamide for a period, they may have vomit and nausea. That is because the medicines damage their liver function thus causing vomit and nausea. Once they stop using cyclophosphamide , their liver function will recover gradually and the vomit and nausea will also disappear.
For the patients with Chronic Renal Failure, the uria decomposes into amine with the help of urease thus irritating intestinal mucosa and leading to inflammation and ulcer. Uremic toxins, especially medium molecular substances and so on can influence the metabolism of cells thus causing cell edema. As a result, the patients will have vomit and nausea.
The above has introduced the common causes of vomit and nausea. The patients should find out the specific causes of their vomit and nausea and adopt relative treatments. In this way, they will be able to get a better therapeutic effect.

Peritoneal Dialysis for the Crowd
Peritoneal dialysis is one of important substitutive therapies for the
patients with End Stage Renal Failure. As it can be operated easily and does not
cause much convenience to the patients’ life, it is a good choice for most of
the patients, especially the following patients.
1. Diabetes
For the patients with Diabetes on peritoneal dialysis, they can directly get insulin from dialysis fluid, which is more convenient than subcutaneous injection of insulin. Therefore, it can alleviate the patients' pain greatly and also benefit the control of blood sugar. For the patients on hemodialysis, they need to build blood accesses and puncture blood vessels. However, for the patients with Diabetes, their blood vessels usually are very sclerotic, fragile. Therefore, frequent puncturing is bad to blood vessels and also is very likely to lead to infection. Moreover, the patients on hemodialysis need extracorporeal blood circulation so they need anticoagulant, which can increase the risk of fundus hemorrhage.
2. Hypertension
Hemodialysis can cause the blood pressure to fluctuate easily thus affecting on other organs. The patients with high blood pressure often have vascular sclerosis, fragile vascular wall and so on, which can increase the risk greatly. However, as peritoneal dialysis is done constantly for a long time and do not influence on blood pressure too much. Therefore, peritoneal dialysis is safer than hemodialysis.
3. Heart disease
Hemodialysis can cause blood pressure fluctuate greatly thus causing too much burden to heart. In severe cases, it can cause heart failure. Peritoneal dialysis does not need extracorporeal circulation, the heart and blood vessels can keep stable.
4. The elderly patients
The elderly patients usually have vascular sclerosis and many are also complicated with high blood pressure, heart disease and so on. Therefore, peritoneal dialysis is more suitable for the elderly patients.
5. Others
If the patients still have residual renal function and want to maintain their residual renal function, peritoneal dialysis is a better choice for them.
However, peritoneal dialysis sill has its disadvantages and may cause many complications such as peritonitis, protein loss and weight gain and so on. Therefore, if possible, the patients with Renal Failure should choose a better therapy as early as possible so as to avoid dialysis. If you or your loved ones are patient with Renal Failure and want to avoid dialysis in the later days, please consult us on line or email to kidney-treatment@hotmail.com.

High Blood Pressure Can Cause Renal Injury
Hypertensive Nephropathy is the secondary complication of chronic high blood
pressure. If the patients keep poor control of their blood pressure over time,
it is very likely to cause renal injury.
Generally speaking, in the early period of high blood pressure, it can not lead to obvious kidney lesion. However, the patients’ adaptive capacity to high sodium and increased blood volume declines. For example, if the patients with high blood pressure eat much salty food or drink a large amount of fluid, they are very likely to have edema or blood pressure to rise. The patients with high blood pressure should pay more attention to the mentioned abnormal symptoms for those may be the early sign of renal injury.
After that, the concentrating ability will decline gradually. It presents increased urination at night, higher pressure in glomeruli thus leading to increased excretion of microdose albumin in urine.
Generally speaking, kidneys begin to have mild or even medium renal arteries sclerosis and then renal parenchymal ischemia, withering, fibrosis. Consequently, the renal function will decline gradually and the levels of creatinine, urea nitrogen and uric acid rise.
When the kidneys can not get enough blood supplements, the endothelium of renal blood vessels will be damaged. As a result, the substances secreted by kidneys in dilating and expanding blood vessels lose balance thus making the primary blood pressure higher. Consequently, high blood pressure and kidney disease promote each other and lead to Renal Failure gradually.
If the patients with high blood pressure have the following symptoms, they should to go further exam to find out if they have renal injury.
1. Increased urination at night;
2. The patients are tested out to have protein in urine in urine test;
3. In blood test, their creatinine level is slightly higher than the normal level( 1~2 mg/dl);
However, in most cases, the above symptoms are often neglected by the patients so they often miss the best therapeutic opportunity. For the patients with high blood pressure, they should go to do renal check, urine test and blood test regularly, especially those with a long history of high blood pressure. In this way, they will be able to decline the renal injury caused by high blood pressure greatly.

Causes and Symptoms of Gouty Nephropathy
Gouty Nephropathy is also named as Uric Acid Nephropathy. It results from
hyperuricemia, which is caused by purine metabolic disturbance, excessive
production of endogenous uric acid or less excretion of uric acid. When urate
deposits in the medullary interstitial tissues or distal collecting duct, it can
cause damage to renal parenchyma leading to Gouty Nephropathy. The main causes
of Gouty Nephropathy are as follows:
1. Primary hyperuricemia: It results from congenital purine metabolic disturbance;
2. Secondary hyperuricemia: It is usually caused by malignant tumor.
As Gouty Nephropathy usually develops very latently, if you have the following symptoms, you had better go to do further exam to inspect if you have kidney damage.
1. Chronic Gouty Nephropathy: Chronic Gouty Nephropathy is very common among the middle-aged men. Most of the patients are accompanied by gouty joint pain or gouty tophus, uric acid lithangiuria. In the early period of the disease, the patients only have mild proteinuria or a small amount of red blood cells in urine. As the urine concentration ability declines and the urine osmotic pressure of urine is less than 800 mmol/L. But the glomerular filtration rate is normal. Therefore, if you have the above symptoms, you should pay more attention to your kidneys, especially those with gouty. Without effective treatment in time, the disease will affect the glomerular filtration ability and further lead to nephrosclerosis. Consequently, the patients will have obvious hypertension and azotaemia.
2. Acute Gouty Nephropathy: It usually occurs to the patients after getting myeloproliferative disease or using chemotherapeutics. A mass of cells are damaged so the catabolism of nucleic acid has hyperfunction. However, the chemotherapeutics obstruct the approach of recycle of nucleic acid. As a result, the metabolic products will cause hyperuricemia thus leading to gouty and Gouty Nephropathy. In addition, a large of uric acid and urate deposit in renal tubule and form crystal and then obstructs renal tubule thus leading to Acute Renal Failure. Moreover, the persistent attack of epilepsia can lead to ischemic muscle cells injury, which also may cause hyperuricemia.
Therefore, if you have a gouty history or the uric acid keeps higher than normal level over time, you should go to do regular exam so as to fine if you have renal injury in the first time.

Complication of Peritoneal Dialysis: Malnutrition
Malnutrition is very common in Chronic Renal Failure. The patients also lose
much nutrition in dialysis, especially hemodialysis. Moreover, the patients on
dialysis still have to keep a strict diet. Those factors can aggravate the
patients’ malnutrition greatly. The main causes of malnutrition for the patients
on dialysis are as follows:
Generally speaking, malnutrition refers to protein malnutrition resulting from protein loss. Therefore are many causes of malnutrition besides Renal Failure itself. For the patients on peritoneal dialysis, there are still many other causes of malnutrition for the patients.
1. Protein loss in peritoneal dialysis: In peritoneal dialysis, the patients may loss various kinds of protein in varying degrees and the protein loss may reach 10 grams per day.
2. Less nutrition intake and under utilization: Digestive diseases are the earliest symptoms of Uremia. Before dialysis, nearly all patients have decline in appetite and even nausea or vomit. Moreover, the need to keep a low-protein diet. After starting peritoneal dialysis, the patients need to absorb a large amount of glucose from the dialysis fluid. Consequently, they may have decline in appetite thus causing decreased decline and nutrition insufficiency. Moreover, some dialysis fluid may leave in the abdomen thus leading to abdominal distention. It is also a cause of decline in appetite.
3. Inadequate dialysis: If the patients can not get adequate dialysis, they are very likely to have decline in appetite and other digestive systems. For the patients with long-term peritoneal dialysis, they often have mild metabolic acidosis. It also can influence the patients’ nutrition intake and cause more protein be discomposed.
4. Residual renal function: When starting peritoneal dialysis, the more residual renal function they have, the better nutrition condition they keep.
5. Mental and financial factors: If the patients have strong resistance against peritoneal dialysis or can financial burden, it may also cause malnutrition.
However, the patients on peritoneal dialysis can not avoid the above complications. Therefore, if possible, they should find a better therapy in time so as to avoid the above complications.

Immunotherapy for Treating Kidney Diseases
Immunotherapy Centre was set up in early 2009 in the hospital, and two types
of Immunotherapy have already been applied to treating kidney diseases.
Immunotherapy (SCT) is based on the adoption of Micro-Chinese Medicine
Osmotherapy (MCMO). MCMO is the basis on treating kidney diseases, and SCT is
like ‘adding brilliance to one’s present splendor’. Umbilical Mesangial
Immunotherapy and Umbilical Cord Blood Immunotherapy are applied to treating
kidney diseases in the hospital. These two types of Immunotherapy are Adult
Immunotherapy and cultivated in the hospital Immunotherapy centre.
1. Promote the self-repairing of damaged kidney cells.
The adoption of Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy effectively protects kidney function from further decline, and creates a favorable environment for damaged cells’ self-repairing. However, these recovering cells are fragile, and the function recovery also takes a long time.
Immunotherapy works in two aspects, A) help with repairing damages in other body parts (like damages in blood vessels), which consolidates the favorable environment for damaged cells self-repairing. B). help with repairing damaged kidney cells directly, and provide them with necessary materials.
2. Regenerate new functional kidney intrinsic cells.
Based on damaged cells self-repairing, the overall kidney function improvement is limited. Umbilical Mesangial Immunotherapy mainly differentiate into substantial organ cells like Liver and Kidneys. Under the help of MCMO, Umbilical Mesangial Immunotherapy concentrate on kidneys and regenerate new functional kidney intrinsic cells. In addition, due to kidney function decline, patients commonly experience Anemia of varying degree, or blood circulation problem. Umbilical Cord Blood Immunotherapy mainly differentiate into cells related to blood.
The Therapeutical process of Immunotherapy
1. These two types of Immunotherapy are collected from Umbilical Cord after the birth of baby, and then cultivated in the hospital’s Immunotherapy centre. Commonly, the cultivation process takes 10 days, and when Immunotherapy grow to maturity, they are transfused into body through intravenous injection.
2. As mentioned above, Immunotherapy are transfused into body through intravenous injection (like intravenous drip), and no operation is needed.
3. Nearly ten to fifteen days after patient’s hospitalization, Umbilical Cord Immunotherapy will be done, and seven to ten days later Umbilical Mesangial Immunotherapy will be conducted. If needed, another Umbilical Cord Blood Immunotherapy or Umbilical Mesangial Immunotherapy will be conducted before the patient’s leaving of the hospital.
Commonly, it takes three to six months before Immunotherapy’ actual taking effects in restoring overall kidney function. During this process, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is needed to protect remained kidney function, as well as maintaining a favorable internal environment for the growth of Immunotherapy within body.

A Natural Remedy for Membranous Nephropathy
Membranous Nephropathy is characterized with the thickening of glomerular
basilar membrane. As a result, a large amount of protein leak into urine.
Clinically, it is one of the most common causes of Nephrotic Syndrome. In most
cases, the prognosis of Membranous is not good and about 20% of the patients
will progress End Stage Renal Failure. Therefore, a timely effective treatment
is very important for the patients to prevent the disease progression.
In the conventional therapies, the patients mainly receive relative treatments focusing on proteinuria. Although those therapies can alleviate proteinuria and other related symptoms, like edema, hypoproteinemia and so on, it can not clear the immune complex in the glomerular basilar membrane, which will do further damage to the kidneys. Moreover, as the patients with Membranous Nephropathy have autoimmune deficiency. Once they are affected by infections, like colds, the immune complex will deposit on in the basilar membrane once again and then aggravate the renal damage. Therefore, in order to treat Membranous Nephropathy fundamentally, the patients should treat the causes of the disease primarily. In China, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy has played its unique role in treating Membranous Nephropathy. The therapeutic mechanism of Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy in treating Membranous Nephropathy is as follows:
1. Dilate blood vessels: The deposition of immune complex in the membrane can cause lead to renal ischemia and anoxia. The effective medicines in Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can dilate renal blood vessels to remit renal ischemia and anoxia.
2. Degrade immune complex: The medicines have an effect in degrading immune complex. Therefore, the immune complex can be discharged out of body through systemic circulation. It can restrain the reoccurrence of the Membranous Nephropathy.
3. Improve immunity: As the patients with Membranous Nephropathy have autoimmune deficiency, the external viruses are very likely to invade into body thus causing the deposition of immune complex. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can improve the patients’ immunity greatly.
Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy aims at the treatment of causes of Membranous Nephropathy. Therefore, the patients can get a better recovery. Moreover, the medicines in Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy are herbs from the nature so it does not have any side effect on the patients. If you want to get more information about our therapy or some other aspects on Membranous Nephropathy, please consult us on line or email to kidney-treatment@hotmail.com.

Edema: A Common Complication of Kidney Disease
Edema is a common complication in Kidney Disease. Kidney is the main organ of
secreting fluid from body. When kidneys function is damaged, they can not
discharge the water out of body normally thus leading to retention of water in
body. Consequently, the patients with Kidney Disease will have edema.
Based on the causes of edema in Kidney Disease, the edema can be divided into nephritic edema and renal disease edema. In nephritic edema, the glomerular filtration membrane is damaged, the glomerular filtration rate declines. Therefore, the water and sodium will build up in body thus causing edema. In renal disease edema, patients lose a large amount of protein in urine. Consequently, the protein level will be lower than the normal thus leading to edema.
Edema in Kidney Disease has its characteristics. Usually the edema begins from face, especially around eyelid or face in the morning. Then the edema will spread t lower limbs and even the whole body. In most cases of renal edema, it is pitting edema. It means that when you press the edema place, there will be a pit in locality. Besides edema, the patients often have high blood pressure, proteinuria, hematuria, declined urination and so on.
Except the edema in Kidney Disease, there are also diseases that can lead to edema, like heart disease, liver disease, endocrine diseases, and malnutrition and so on. Therefore, the patients should make clear the specific cause of edema firstly and then adopt relevant treatments.
The above has listed the pathological causes of edema. We should know some cases of edema do not result from diseases. Some middle-aged women, especially some fat women, often have mild edema in their ankles before menstruation or after overwork. In this case, the edema will disappear when the menstruation period ends and have a rest for a while. Clinically, it is called idiopathic edema. If the patients have this kind of edema, they need not to worry and just have proper rest and limit the salt intake. In this way, the edema will alleviate. In addition, if the people stand, walk for too long, they may also have mild edema in lower limbs, which is called dependent edema. When they rest for a while or lie down, their edema will disappear.
Therefore, if you have edema, you should firstly find out its specific cause and then adopt corresponding treatment in time. If you or your loved ones are suffering from edema and do not what causes it, you can consult us on line or email to kidney-treatment@hotmail.com.

How to Know If You Have Lupus Nephritis
Lupus Nephritis is the secondary kidney disease caused by systemic lupus
erythematosus. However, not all patients with lupus will have kidney injury. The
following symptoms prove that you have had renal injury.
Lupus Nephritis is a common disease among the male between 20~40 years old. In the early stage of the disease, it presents various clinical symptoms. In some cases, the patients have injury only in one organ. However, sometimes once the disease starts, the patients will have injury in multiple organs. Generally speaking, the patients have butterfly-shaped red erythema on skin and papule mainly on their face and some patients only have joint pain. The common symptoms of Lupus Nephritis are as follows:
1. Fever: Most of the patients with Lupus Nephritis have high fever, but a minority of them has low fever.
2. Skin mucosa injury: In the early period of Lupus Nephritis, the patients are sensitive to light. When exposed to sun, their face will turn red very soon. Typically, the patients have butterfly-shaped erythema on their cheeks and both sides of the nose’ bridge. Moreover, there may be polymorphous or discal red erythema, edema and subcutaneous hematoma on other body parts. Therefore, it is often mistaken for skin disease by some patients.
3. Multiple organs damage: The patients with Lupus Nephritis may have multiple damage, like heart damage, hepatomegaly, pleuritis and so on. The patients with heart damage will have tachycardia, arrhythmia, and myocarditis and so on. For the patients with hepatomegaly, they often have mild jaundice. Joint pain like rheumatoid arthritis is also a common symptom for the patients with Lupus Nephritis.
4. Symptoms of Nephritis: Generally, the kidney injury occurs very late and most appears after 6 months to 2 years after the onset of Nephritis. However, in some cases, once it starts, edema, proteinuria is the first symptoms of Nephritis.
Moreover, the kidney damage is divided into Nephritic Syndrome, Nephritic Syndrome, Nephrotic Syndrome, Chronic Nephritis complicated with edema, proteinuria, hematuria and high blood pressure, anemia and decline in renal function. In addition, some patients may suffer from rapidly progressive Nephritis. In this case, the disease progresses very rapidly, keep high fever as well as proteinuria, hematuria and red blood cast increase. The patients’ kidneys fail in a short time. Without timely effective treatment, the patients will develop Renal Failure and even die in a short time.
For the patients with lupus, if they have the above symptoms, they should go to see a nephrologist at once. Even if the test results prove the indexes are normal, they still should go for check regularly in 2 years after lupus.

How to Know You Are a Membranous Nephropathy Suffer
Generally speaking, the prognosis of Membranous Nephropathy is not good and
many patients develop End Stage Renal Failure. Therefore, you should know
firstly know if you a Membranous Nephropathy and then receive relative treatment
in time so as to stop the further progression of the disease. It is very
necessary for you to have a comprehensive understanding of Membranous
Nephropathy.
Membranous Nephropathy can be found at any age, but about 80~90% of the patients are above 30 years old. Its incidence is especially high among the male above 50~60 years old. The onset of the disease is very latent and the patients usually do not have prehistory of the upper respiratory tract infection. About 70~80% of the patients with Membranous Nephropathy have Nephrotic Syndrome and 30~50% of children is complicated with microscopic hematuria and rarely in the adults. About 13~55% of the patients have high blood pressure when they have first diagnosis.
Clinically, in most cases of Membranous Nephropathy, the patients have a large amount of proteinuria. Most of the children’ proteinuria can recover by itself within five years. Among the adult patients, about 25% of them can remit from proteinuria by themselves.
Generally speaking, Membranous Nephropathy progresses very slowly, but about 10% of the patients have had renal insufficiency when they go for treatment for the first time. Proteinuria is the main cause in aggravating renal injury. Moreover, high blood pressure, edema and so on also are dangerous factors in aggravating Renal Failure.
For some patients with Membranous Nephropathy, their renal function may decline at a fast speed. Once the renal function aggravates sharply, it often imply the patients may be also complicated with other Kidney Diseases. Another reason for drastic decline in renal function is acute bilateral venous thrombosis. In this case, the patients may have a large amount of proteinuria, declined effective blood volume. Clinically, the patients often have gross hematuria, back pain and other symptoms besides the aggravation of renal function. Moreover, medicine is also a common inducement of renal function aggravation like diuretic, antibiotics and so on.
The above has introduced some common knowledge of Membranous Nephropathy. If you have one or several symptoms mentioned above, you had better go for further inspection to find if you have renal injury in the first time.

What Preparations should Kidney Patients before Haemodialysis
Dialysis is a common renal replacement therapy, which could help pass the
wastes and toxins out of the body. Dialysis is usually divided into
haemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. With the guidance of the doctors,
patients can choose which form of dialysis is most suitable for them according
to their conditions.
Usually, kidney patients should be informed of the relevant knowledge about dialysis one year before the anticipated date when they should start dialysis, so that they can prepare physiologically, and avoid life-threatening complications, which is vital for kidney patients. Once kidney patients choose haemodialysis, there are several points they should heed to:
1. Before haemodialysis, kidney patients should visit the doctors on a regular basis, telling the doctors their primary disease, current symptoms, complications, the assay index and kidney functions, so that they can determine when to build up internal fistula and initiate dialysis. Both kidney patients and their family members should master some knowledge about hemodialysis, so that they could prepare both mentally and physically.
2.For kidney patients who are prepared to do hemodialysis for a long time, vascular access should be built. At present, the best way is to build a IAVF(short for internal fistula). It takes at least four weeks for the internal fistula to mature. So, kidney patients should listen to the doctor’s advice, building internal fistula three months before they start dialysis.
3. A question that kidney patients and their family members care about is when to start dialysis. Uremia is a slow and progressive process, in which our body would adapt gradually and maintain a pathological balance. However, the patients’ body has already been affected. Doctors would suggest the starting time according to the patient’s kidney functions and clinical symptoms. One point worth mentioning is that patients should follow the doctor’s advice and start dialysis in time so as to avoid severe complications.
If you have questions , feel free to contact our online experts who are ready to give you advice on your treatment based on your specific conditions.

What Are Diabetic Nephropathy Symptoms
Diabetic Nephropathy is a life-threatening complication of Diabetes. In
recent years, the population of End Stage Renal Failure due to Diabetic
Nephropathy is rising year after year. Therefore, early inspection and treatment
of Diabetic Nephropathy is very important for the patients. If they have the
following symptoms, they should not delay their treatment any longer.
1. Proteinuria
At beginning, the glomerular filtration pressure rises and the charge barrier is changed, the urine has microalbumin. This condition can last for many years without leading to obvious clinical symptoms. With the glomerular filtration pores become bigger, the macromolecular substances can leak out into urine. Consequently, the patients with Diabetic Nephropathy will have persistent severe proteinuria. If the urine protein exceeds 3 grams per day, the prognosis of Diabetic Nephropathy is not good.
2. Edema
In the early period of Diabetic Nephropathy, the patients usually do not have edema. Only a minority of patients may have mild edema before the plasma protein level declines. When the urine protein exceeds 3 grams in 24 hours, the patients will have edema. In severe cases, the patients with will have systemic edema.
3. Hypertension
Hypertension is a common complication among the patients with Diabetic Nephropathy. In return, high blood pressure can aggravate the disease progression. Therefore, it is very important for the patients with Diabetic Nephropathy to control their blood pressure.
4. Renal insufficiency
Once Diabetic Nephropathy starts, the patients’ renal function will decline gradually. Without timely treatments, the patients will finally end up with Uremia.
5. Anemia
If the patients with Diabetic Nephropathy have azotemia, they are very possible to have mild and even moderate anemia. Usually, chalybeate therapy is no use for the anemia. For the patients with Diabetic Nephropathy, anemia is caused by disturbance of red blood cells production.
As Diabetic Nephropathy can lead to so many complications, it is very important for the patients to receive treatment once they are diagnosed with the disease. What’s more, Diabetic Nephropathy usually occurs latently. Therefore, the patients with Diabetes should do regular exam so as to find if they have renal injury in the first time.

Clinical Symptoms of Gouty Nephropathy
Gouty Nephropathy is the secondary Kidney Disease of gouty. It usually occurs
latently so some clinical symptoms of Gouty Nephropathy are often neglected by
the patients. Here the article will list the clinical symptoms of Gouty
Nephropathy. If the patients with gouty have one or several of them, they should
do further exam to find if they have renal injury.
In the early period of Gouty Nephropathy, the patients usually have mild back pain and persistent or intermittent proteinuria. In some cases, the patients may be companied with mild edema. About 60% of cases, their blood pressure will rise moderately. As the renal tubule is damaged, the urine concentration and dilution functions are damaged. Moreover, the patients’ urine is acid and its PH is below 6.0.
Gouty Nephropathy develops progressively. In its late period, the glomeruli are injured. As a result, the creatinine clearance rate declines and blood creatinine level and urea nitrogen level rise.
About 90% of the patients with Gouty Nephropathy are complicated with urate stones due to hyperuricemia, acid uria and dehydration. In some cases, the urate stone can obstruct renal tubule and urinary tract thus leading to renal colic and gross hematuria. Moreover, once urate stone obstructs urinary tract, it is very likely to lead to urinary tract infection.
About 80% of the patients with Gouty Nephropathy have acute and chronic arthritis. Acute arthritis often occurs suddenly and alcohol, overwork, gluttony, colds are its inducements. It usually occurs at night and the patients have intense pain suddenly. If the patients do not treat acute arthritis when it occurs every time, it will develop into chronic arthritis gradually. The patients may have joint pain, deformation, rigidity and so on.
The above article has introduced the clinical symptoms of Gouty Nephropathy. If you have one or several symptoms above, you should go for further exam and find if you have renal damage as early as possible.

Patients with Kidney Disease Should Avoid Eating Vegetable Protein
A healthy dietary habit can slow down Kidney Disease progression. Therefore,
they should pay more attention to what they eat. For the patients with Kidney
Disease, they should keep avoid eating too much food containing high vegetable
protein in their daily diet to decline burden to their kidneys.
In normal case, after we eat foods with protein, the protein will convert to wastes with nitrogen and then will be discharged out of body by kidneys. However, when Kidney Disease develops into Renal Insufficiency, the kidneys will not be able to excrete the metabolic wastes normally as before. If they do not pay attention to their diet and too much waste accumulates in kidneys, it will cause too much burden to kidneys thus accelerating decline in renal function. Therefore, the patients with Kidney Disease should be cautious in their intake of protein.
However, the protein is the important source of amine acid. Some amine acid can not be synthetized by our body and has to be obtained from food, which is called necessary amine acid. The amine acid that can be synthetized by our body is called unnecessary amine acid. Therefore, for the patients with Renal Insufficiency, they should limit their protein intake properly. At the same time, they must guarantee enough necessary amine acid supplements. As unnecessary amine acid can be synthetized by body, the patients can decline the protein intake properly.
Therefore, in choosing food with protein, the patients with Kidney Disease should select those with high necessary amine acid and avoid eating too much food containing unnecessary amine acid. The patients with Kidney Disease should food with high quality protein like, fish, eggs, lean meat and so on. As bean products mainly contain unnecessary amine acid so the patients with Kidney Disease should limit the intake of this kind of food or avoid eating it. If you want t o know more about the diet principles for the patients with Kidney Disease, you can consult us on line or email to kidney-treatment@hotmail.com.

Start Dialysis According to Creatinine Level
Don't be afraid of Dialysis. Dialysis can help patients who have high
creatinine feel better and slow done the damage to kidney function. If kidney
function is damaged, they can no longer perform its normal functions of
secreting hormones, regulating balance of erythrocytes and uric-acid and
maintaining stability of internal environment. Thereby, overall metabolism
turned into a disorder and patients can experience multiple complications, such
as vomiting, nausea, poor appetite, skin itching, short breath, weakness,
combined heart disease and so on.
Those combined factors are quite dangerous for renal failure patients, so dialysis is needed at this time. Through artificially remove accumulated wastes and toxins, dialysis can help to alleviate discomforts and complications.
So when to start dialysis for renal failure patients?
General indications for starting dialysis are:
1. Endogenous creatinine clearance rate 10ml/min
2. Blood urea nitrogen more than 28.6mmol/l
3. Serum creatinine more than 455mmol/l.
Creatinine is the mist important item to judge whether a patient need dialysis. OF course, dialysis has some complications. The best way for patients with kidney disease is to get treatment timely before they need dialysis. If some patients with kidney disease have undertook dialysis for long time, they can't get rid of dialysis any more.
Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital the largest kidney disease specialized hospital in China have Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy and Immunotherapy as well as other traditional Chinese therapies. The scientific treatment plan make according to each patient's illness condition is a combination of proper therapies. If you want to know more information about the treatment, you can write email to kidney-treatment@hotmail.com Experts will help you find a solution.

How to Lower Creatinine Level Effectively
All patients with Kidney Disease are very familiar with creatinine. It is an
important measurement of renal function. Once it starts to rise, it means that
more than half of their renal function has been lost. Many patients worry their
high creatinine level, but do not know how to lower it effectively. Although
they have tried multiple methods, their creatinine level still keeps very high.
Then how to lower creatinine level effectively?
Firstly, the patients with Kidney Disease should know why their creatinine level increases. Creatinine is the metabolic products of muscles and is mainly discharged out of body by kidneys. Therefore, it can keep a stable level in blood. However, for the patients with Kidney Disease, their kidneys are damaged so they will lose their normal filtration function. As a result, the creatinine will accumulate in blood and exceed the normal level.
At present, dialysis is an effective method in lowering creatinine level. It can replace the native kidneys to excrete the metabolic wastes and excessive water out of body. Therefore, the patients'creatinine level will decline to some extent. However, dialysis can not replace the whole function of kidneys like secretion function and so on. Therefore, it can lead to a series of complications such as hypotension, heart disease and so on. What's worse, dialysis can only remove wastes, but can not improve renal function at all.
From the above causes of high creatinine level, it can be seen repairing the damaged kidneys and improving renal function is the key for lowering creatinine level. With the development of regenerative medicine, Immunotherapy has showed its enormous effect in recovering renal function.
Immunotherapys can differentiate into new cells to replace the necrotic renal intrinsic cells to play their roles. Moreover, Immunotherapy can secrete some nutrition to activate the damaged cells to recover their normal function. As a result, the renal function can be improved greatly. Once the kidneys improve and even recover their functions, their filtration function will increase greatly. Consequently, the creatinine level will decline gradually.

Why Should Patients with Uremia Caused by Diabetes Start Dialysis Earlier
Dialysis is an important alternative treatment for the patients with Uremia.
If the patients can choose the right time to start dialysis, it can help protect
their residual renal function and delay the disease progression effectively. For
the patients with Uremia due to Diabetes, they should start dialysis earlier
than other patients.
In Uremia caused by Diabetes, their kidneys fail at a faster speed than other patients. If the patients are complicated with hypertension, their renal function will aggravate more rapidly. Moreover, the incidence of blood vessel diseases in the patients with Diabetes is quite high and the patients are often accompanied by diabetic retinopathy and cardiovascular diseases. Once the creatinine level is less than 15 ml/min, their blood pressure will be out of control. In that condition, it usually can lead to fundus hemorrhage and life-threatening cardiovascular complications. For the patients with Diabetic Nephropathy, they usually have protein synthesis disturbance so their total muscle mass will decline. Therefore, the creatinine level can not reflect the severity of disease condition accurately. Compared with non-Diabetic Uremia patients, the patients with Uremia caused by Diabetes should start dialysis earlier. When the patients with Diabetes begin to have the early symptoms of Uremia or they have systemic edema, declined urination and the creatinine level below 15 ml/min, they should consider starting dialysis. They should not start dialysis until their creatinine level below 10 ml/min. If the patients have severe edema, resistant hypertension or serious malnutrition, they should start dialysis at a particularly early time. If the patients with Uremia caused by Diabetes can make a rational dialysis plan and guarantee adequate dialysis and sufficient nutrition supplement as well as prevent the complications, they will be able to make the patients have a good therapeutic result and prognosis.

Prevention of Chronic Renal Failure
Prevention of Chronic Renal Failure is quite important for patients with
Chronic Kidney Disease. Read on to know more in this regard.
All types of Chronic Kidney Diseases will eventually develop into Chronic Renal Failure. When it happens, the structure of the kidneys will be damaged, including glomerulosclerosis, renal interstitium fibrosis, tubular atrophy etc. As a result, the kidneys lose the function of excreting metabolic wastes and excess water as well as secretion function. Under such condition, toxins build up to high level in the body, which leads to inside circumstance imbalance and other organs injury. If this condition develops to some degree, life will be threatened. So, it is important for patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) to prevent Chronic Renal Failure. There are some measures as follows:
Limit Your Protein Intake
Low-protein diets benefits patients with kidney disease. This is because most patient have proteinuria and excess protein intake leads to large proteinuria, which can further damage the kidneys. Therefore, moderate protein intake is necessary.
Your doctor or dietitian may recommend a moderate-protein diet. 1 gram of protein per kilogram of body weight per day is a common suggestion.
Besides, high quality protein diet may be recommended, such as fish, eggs or lean meats. This will help you replace muscles and other tissues that you loss. But it is better to talk to your doctor, nurse, or dietitian about detailed information on your daily diets.
Control Your Blood Pressure
High blood pressure will burden the kidneys. As is known to all, high blood pressure causes damage to the blood vessels and capillaries. In nature, nephrons are composed of capillaries. So high blood pressure can cause damage to the nephrons that are basic unit of the kidneys. In this case patients with CKD should strictly control blood pressure. If your urine protein is larger than 1 gram in 24h, you need to keep your blood pressure less than 125/75mmHg. And if your urine protein is less than 1 gram, you could keep your blood pressure less than 130/80mmHg.
Avoid harmful factors
A cold, overstrain, pregnancy and some harmful medicines can further damage the kidneys and speed up the process of developing into Chronic Renal Failure. Therefore, you should take care of yourself and try your best to avoid such harmful factors.
Take systematic treatment early
Treatment plays the most important role in development of Chronic Kidney Disease. A proper treatment will slow down the kidneys’ deterioration, and even improve kidney function. On the contrary, an improper one may threaten a patient’s life. Hence, choosing a proper systematic treatment means a lot. Traditional treatments focus on patients symptoms and neglect the pathological changes in the kidneys.
But Immunotherapy and Chinese herb medicine overthrow that wrong method. It can treat CKD effectively by repairing the renal lesions and stopping the renal fibrosis. Many patients with CKD have good improvement after such therapy.
If you are a patient with CKD, you had better follow the advice above and take proper treatment early. That is good for you. Please write email to kidney-treatment@hotmail.com if you have more questions.

Is Pregnancy Recommended to Women on Dialysis
Pregnancy is generally not recommended to women on dialysis because it is
considered as a risk for both mother and fetus. Healthy kidneys work
continuously in the whole day and keep our body in a favorable internal
environment. However, for the women on hemodialysis, they just have dialysis for
about 12 hours a week. Therefore, dialysis can not replace the whole function of
the native kidneys and much metabolic wastes will accumulate in the pregnant
women' body. It can make it harder for the baby to develop as it should.
During pregnancy, the baby also releases wastes into the mother's blood stream. Therefore, their kidneys have to work over time to filtrate the blood. Therefore, pregnancy is a very hard thing for the women on dialysis. For the pregnant women on dialysis, they should increase the dialysis frequency to keep the blood clean as possible as they can.
If the women on dialysis want to have a baby, she should consult her doctors firstly. Her doctor will provide some guidance to decline the risk to both mother and baby. However, fertility is not a easy thing for some women because having kidney disease can decrease the ability to produce healthy eggs that can be fertilized. Moreover, the irregular hormone level may influence the normal menstruation.
If the women just start dialysis for a short time or she still keep a large amount of residual renal function, the chances of becoming pregnant is higher.
Therefore, if a woman on dialysis wants to have a baby, she needs to take her disease condition comprehensively. During pregnancy, she should keep regular follow-ups to guarantee the safety of mother and baby.

Kidney Transplant Is Not the Only Treatment for Renal Failure
Sometimes ago, I received an email from a patient with End Stage Renal Failure. From her words, I can feel her helplessness and worries. Her doctor
recommended her Kidney Transplant for she had less than 10 % of renal function.
However, she really does not want to receive Kidney Transplant and she asked me
if there is a better therapy.
After knowing the specific information of her illness condition, I feel very relieved. She has the chance of receiving our therapy. On one hand, she has only started dialysis for a short time and she has the possibility of declining dialysis and even getting rid of it. On the other hand, she still has urine. That means that her kidneys still work so it is possible to reverse its disease.
It is can be denied that Kidney Transplant plays a crucial role in the treatment of Renal Failure. With the development of medical technique, the success rate of Kidney Transplant has increased greatly and some patients can live a normal life. However, the survival rate of transplanted kidneys in 10 years is just 1%. For chronic and acute rejections of Kidney Transplant, their kidneys mainly fail in a short time or lose their renal function gradually. If their kidneys fail again, they have to receive another Kidney Transplant. However, although the population of Renal Failure is increasing, the source of kidneys is rare. Many patients with Renal Failure may die in their wait for Kidney Transplant. Here I suggest my patient the combined application of Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy and Immunotherapy.
1. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy
Micro-Chinese medicines are the new application of traditional Chinese herbs. As the medicines are plants from the nature, they do not have side effects on the patients at all. In Renal Failure, the kidneys can not get enough blood supplements thus causing renal fibrosis. Micro-Chinese Medicines can dilate blood vessels thus improving the renal blood flow. Moreover, the effective medicines can supply some nutrition for repairing of the damaged renal intrinsic cells. In treating some Kidney Diseases like IgA Nephropathy, Lupus Nephropathy and so on, Micro-Chinese Medicines can degrade the immune complex thus creating a favorable for repairing the damaged renal intrinsic cells.
2. Immunotherapy
Immunotherapys are the most original cells in our body. They have the abilities of self-renewing and multiple-differentiating. After abstracted, purified, cultured strictly, they can differentiate into new cells with the same characteristics as the original cells or other new cells and even organs with specific function. For the homing-ability of Immunotherapy, after they are infused into body, they can move to the kidney lesions by themselves to replace the necrotic cells to play their roles thus rebuilding the normal renal structure.
Therefore, the combined application of Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy and Immunotherapy can improve the patients'renal function greatly. If you or your loved ones are patients with Renal Failure and do not want to undergo dialysis or Kidney Transplant, you can consult us on line or email to kidney-treatment@hotmail.com.

Common Symptoms of Stage 3 Kidney Disease
Kidney Disease is a progressive disorder, in which kidneys do not lose their
function at once but gradually. According to the glomerular filtration rate
(GFR), kidney disease is divided into 5 stages. At stage 3 of Kidney Disease,
GFR is 30 to 59 ml/min and some patients may not have outward symptoms, but
others will.
1. Edema
In normal case, kidneys can discharge the excessive fluid out of body. However, in stage 3 of Kidney Disease, their kidneys are damaged moderately. As a result, the excess fluid stays in the body thus leading to edema. In the early period, the patients may only have edema in around eyes, face early in the morning and it will relieve in the afternoon. If left untreated, edema can cause painful swelling, high blood pressure and even heart failure.
2. Hypertension
Blood pressure refers to the force of blood against the blood vessels wall. In Stage 3 of Kidney Disease, there are mainly two reasons for hypertension. Healthy kidneys can secrete renin that plays an important role in maintaining blood pressure. When the kidneys fail to work normally, it can lead to renal ischemia and anoxia thus more renin will be secreted. As a result, the blood pressure will rise. Moreover, as the patients in stage 3 of Kidney Disease often have retention of water and sodium, it can cause their blood volume to increase. It is also an important cause of hypertension.
3. Anemia
In Stage 3 of Kidney Disease, as kidney function declines, they can not discharge the metabolic products from body as before, which can shorten the life expectancy of red blood cells greatly. In addition, the kidney is responsible for secreting erythropoietin that helps the bone marrow make red blood cells. However, for the patients with kidney disease, their kidneys can not work properly thus releasing less erythropoietin, resulting in fewer red blood cells.
In stage 3 of kidney disease, the kidneys have not yet been damaged seriously. Therefore, the patients should take the best therapeutic time to receive treatment as early as possible. If you want to know the detailed treatment plan for the patients in stage 3 of kidney disease, please consult us on line or email to kidney-treatment@hotmail.com.

Diet Principles for Patients at Stage 3 of Kidney Disease
Kidney Disease usually develops progressively. The kidneys do not fail at
once, but in a gradual way. Based on glomerular filtration rate, kidney disease
can be divided into 5 stages. At stage 3 of Kidney Disease, the glomerular
filtration rate is 30~59 ml/min and the kidneys are damaged moderately and the
symptoms are mild. If the patients can follow proper diet principle, it will
help prolong kidney functioning.
1. Fat
As the patients at stage 3 of kidney disease should keep a low protein diet, it is very important for them to guarantee enough calories and increase the fat intake properly. However, over the long-term, the patients should choose foods with low saturated fat to protect their heart and blood vessels. Many patients with kidney disease are often complicated with cardiovascular diseases, which can aggravate kidney disease. Therefore, the patients at stage 3 of kidney disease should eat food with unsaturated fats.
2. Protein
At stage 3 of kidney disease, the patients should keep proper high-quality protein intake. The patients are recommended to keep the daily protein intake within 1 gram for each kilogram of body weight. Moreover, our body needs to obtain necessary amino acid from protein. Therefore, they should keep the proper intake of protein with abundant amino acid like eggs, lean meat, dairy and other animal protein.
3. Iron and folate
Anemia is a common complication of stage 3 of kidney disease. It results from insufficient secretion of hormone erythropoietin as the kidney function declines. Erythropoietin is important as it can make the bone marrow to produce red blood cells. In order to correct anemia, extra folate, B-12 or iron are recommended to the patients. Iron and B-12 are available from red meat, while folate is abundant in green leafy vegetables.
4. Vitamin D
At stage 3 of kidney disease, the patients are at risk of vitamin D deficiency thus leading to bone disease. Vitamin D is available for strong bones and also helps in the treatment of kidney disease. According to some researches, vitamin D can help regulate angiotensin II that can damage heart, arteries and lead to hypertension.
The above has listed the main diet principles for the patients at stage 3 of kidney disease. If they can follow the diet principles strictly, it will be certainly able to slow down the disease progression. However, as the disease conditions vary with different patients, making specific diet principles should depend on the patients’ disease condition and their test results like blood test, urine test and so on.

CVS Helps You Detect PKD
PKD is an inherited disease, and many patients with this disease feel quite
depressed that their baby will suffer this also. Actually, PKD, as a congenital
disease, is hard to get cured in worldwide. Nevertheless, it is not to say PKD
can threaten human being. According to linical data, this disease has a
principle, patients carry this abnormal gene since their birth. In other words,
if they do not carry this gene, they will not have PKD when they are grown.
Chorionic villus sampling is a special check before delivery, and this test is
to collect a small part of tissue from placenta to ascertain the chomosome.
According to the test result, whether your baby have PKD or not can be diagnosed.
Does chorionic villus sampling suit to anybody? Though most maternity hospital can serve all the people who have this requirement, not all the pregnant mother is necessary for this test, because this medical examination also brings some risk of abortion. Chorionic villus sampling is only recommended to those pregnant women whose fetus has a high risk of abnormal chromosome. And these usually includes below conditions:
If your expected date of confinement is approaching or over 35years, chorionic villus sampling is requisite. The risk of fetus abnormal chromosome is positively associated with pregnant women’s age. If you are 35 yrs old, your baby has 1/250 chance suffering from Down’s syndrome.
If you have delivered a baby with some congenital defect, this check-up are also requisite.
If you or your spouse have chromosome abnormalty, inherited disease or family history, the incidence of inherited disease for your baby can be increased. Besides, if you two are carriers of occult hereditary diseases, say polycystic kidney disease or sickle cell disease, your pregnant wife is recommended to take chorionic villus sampling.
If you can not decide whether you take chorionic villus sampling or not, you can take some non-invasive screening at first, for instance, Nuchal Translucency Screening or combined screening in early stage can ascertain whether chromosome abnormalty occurs to your baby. If your baby has the risk to get affected by abnormal chromosome, chorionic villus sampling would be the favorable and reliable tests to take.

Chinese Medicines for the Treatment of Lupus Nephritis
Lupus Nephritis is an autoimmune kidney disorder caused by systemic lupus
erythematosus (SLE). Clinical practices prove that Chinese medicines have shown
their effective therapeutic results in the treatment of Lupus Nephritis.
In normal case, our immune system can prevent the invasion of external virus, infections and so on into our body. However, in the patients with Lupus Nephritis, as their immunity has insufficiency and can not tell the harmful substances and healthy ones. Consequently, the immune system attacks the healthy cells and tissues in body thus leading to a large amount of immune complex in the blood. With the blood circulation, the immune complex will deposit in the epithelial cells of glomerular capillaries damaging the normal function of epithelial cells. As a result, the epithelial cells will lose their normal charge barrier function and can not prevent the protein with negative charge from leaking into urine. Consequently, the patients will have a series of clinical symptoms like proteinuria, edema and so on.
From the above cause, it can be seen that the key for the treatment of Lupus Nephritis is to prevent the immune reaction and clear the immune complex in the epithelial cells of glomerular capillaries. The therapeutic mechanism of Chinese medicine in the treatment of Lupus Nephritis is as follows:
1. Degrading immune complex
The effective integrants in Chinese medicines can degrade the immune complex in the epithelial cells so as to prevent the further damage to the glomeruli.
2. Dilate blood vessels
Chinese medicines have an obvious effect in dilating blood vessels, which can alleviate the renal ischemia and anoxia. Moreover, it can improve the blood circulation and the degraded immune complex will be able to be excreted out of body with the blood circulation. It also provides a favorable environment for repairing the damaged cells.
3. Anti-inflammation
Chinese medicines also have the anti-inflammation function. As a result, it can decrease the inflammatory cell infiltration into glomeruli so as to alleviate the damage to the epithelial cells of glomeruli capillaries.
Chinese medicines treat Lupus Nephritis from its causes so the patients can get a better treatment effect. If you or your loved ones are Lupus Nephritis and want to know more about Chinese medicines, please consult us on line.
In normal case, our immune system can prevent the invasion of external virus, infections and so on into our body. However, in the patients with Lupus Nephritis, as their immunity has insufficiency and can not tell the harmful substances and healthy ones. Consequently, the immune system attacks the healthy cells and tissues in body thus leading to a large amount of immune complex in the blood. With the blood circulation, the immune complex will deposit in the epithelial cells of glomerular capillaries damaging the normal function of epithelial cells. As a result, the epithelial cells will lose their normal charge barrier function and can not prevent the protein with negative charge from leaking into urine. Consequently, the patients will have a series of clinical symptoms like proteinuria, edema and so on.
From the above cause, it can be seen that the key for the treatment of Lupus Nephritis is to prevent the immune reaction and clear the immune complex in the epithelial cells of glomerular capillaries. The therapeutic mechanism of Chinese medicine in the treatment of Lupus Nephritis is as follows:
1. Degrading immune complex
The effective integrants in Chinese medicines can degrade the immune complex in the epithelial cells so as to prevent the further damage to the glomeruli.
2. Dilate blood vessels
Chinese medicines have an obvious effect in dilating blood vessels, which can alleviate the renal ischemia and anoxia. Moreover, it can improve the blood circulation and the degraded immune complex will be able to be excreted out of body with the blood circulation. It also provides a favorable environment for repairing the damaged cells.

Patients with Diabetes often Neglect Renal Injury
As more and more people are diagnosed with Diabetes, the incidence of
Diabetic Nephropathy also rises year after year. Diabetic Nephropathy has become
the primary cause of Uremia and nearly 50% of the patients on dialysis are
patients with Diabetic Nephropathy. Many patients with Diabetes only care about
how to control their blood sugar and often neglect renal injury. As a result, in
many cases, the patients do not know they have developed into Diabetic
Nephropathy until they have obvious clinical symptoms.
Diabetes is a systemic metabolic disease. If you get Diabetes, high blood pressure only one aspect of your symptoms and your body organs will also receive serious injuries. High blood pressure influences the organ functions by pathological changes of capillaries.
Our kidneys are composed of abundant capillaries. If Diabetes triggers microangiopathy, kidneys will be damaged primarily thus leading to Diabetic Nephropathy.
Therefore, the patients should know that kidneys are responsible for the excretion of metabolic wastes and excess fluid. The patients with Diabetes have glucose metabolism disturbance. Over time, the high blood glucose will certainly lead to microangiopathy and involves kidneys finally and cause Diabetic Nephropathy.
In order to prevent renal injury by Diabetes, the patients should take preventive measures.
1. Control blood glucose
The normal empty blood glucose should keep between 3.9~6.0 mmol/L. If the empty blood glucose exceeds 7.00 mmol/l or the 2-hour postprandial blood glucose is above 11.1mmol/l, the person will be diagnosed with Diabetes. Once someone has been diagnosed with Diabetes, he/ she should keep the blood glucose between 6~7 mmol/l in order to avoid hypoglycemia.
2. Monitor HBALC and urine microalbumin
Empty and postprandial blood glucose can only reflect the change of blood glucose in a short time. HBALC can reflect the blood glucose fluctuation in the recent three months. Therefore, it can reflect the disease condition more accurately. ADA suggests that the HBALC should keep below 7%.
Urine microalbumin is an early symptom of Diabetic Nephropathy. When the microalbumin in urine is above 20μg/min, the patients with Diabetes should do relative checks to find if they have renal injury.
If the patients with Diabetes can take preventive measures in time, they will be able to prevent renal injury and avoid it developing into Diabetic Nephropathy.

Life Expectancy for End Stage Renal Disease
It is impossible to say how long a patients with end stage renal disease will
survive as there is no expiration dates for everyone. While for people with end
stage renal disease, how long they can live will depend on whether or what kind
of treatment they are taking.
Renal failure will cause problems to the whole systems of the body. When the kidneys lose the functions, their kidneys cannot work well, vascular system will become flooded with fluid, potassium can't be discharged out properly, which will cause the heart to beat irregularly and her heart won't be able to keep up with the increased volume. The fluid will also collect in the lungs, chest making it difficult to breath. The kidneys cannot filter out the urea, and other wastes in her body, which will rapidly damage the heart, brain, and other vital organs. There are still many more complications can be caused, and if no proper remedy is adopted to help discharge the fluid, wastes etc. the patients will become weaker and weaker.
Under this condition, dialysis will be recommended to help the kidneys to function, and relieve the complications the patients have. Dialysis may sustain the patients' lives for as long as more than 20 years or so. While some may last for several years, then the kidney function will lose completely. Kidney transplant may be needed according to the individual condition.
In order to avoid such bad results, the better way for patients with renal disease is to adopt a proper treatment in the early stage, to slow down or stop the progress of the kidney damage, then people can live a much longer life.

How Is the Prognosis of Lupus Nephritis
Commonly, the prognosis of Lupus Nephritis is not good. However, if the
patients can receive treatment as early as possible, they can delay the disease
progression and avoid Renal Failure.
Lupus Nephritis is a serious complication of systemic lupus erythematosus. Since 1990s, the survival rate of patients with Lupus Nephritis is 83~92% in 5 years and 74~84% in 10 years. After diagnosis of Lupus Nephritis, the patients may develop into End Stage Renal Failure in 5~10 years. In recent years, with the development of medical technology, the research on the prognosis of Lupus Nephritis, the survival rate can reach 97% in 10 years and 82% in 20 years. End Stage Renal Failure is the most important cause of increased mortality for the patients with systemic lupus erythematosus. The mortality for the patients with Lupus Nephritis is 2 times as high as those only have lupus. Therefore, it is very important for the patients to know the factors that influence the prognosis of Lupus Nephritis.
Age: At present, there is not a common view on if age can influence the prognosis of Lupus Nephritis. According some researches, if the onset age is above 50 years old, the prognosis of Lupus Nephritis is bad. However, some researches prove that although the onset age is above 50 years old and the patients have obvious decline in creatinine clearance rate and high blood pressure, but the population develop End Stage Renal Failure has no difference from the young patients.
Usually, the prognosis of Lupus Nephritis is worse in man than woman.
The clinical symptoms and lab exams prove that if the patients with lupus have serological abnormality like the serum complement declining, circulatory immune complex increasing and so on, they are more likely to develop into Lupus Nephritis. Anemia is an important index in reflecting bad prognosis of Lupus Nephritis. If the patients have renal insufficiency, high creatinine level or decline in glomerular filtration rate, serious proteinuria or Nephrotic Syndrome, the prognosis of Lupus Nephritis is bad.
In recent years, with the regenerative medicines development, the application of Immunotherapy has improved the prognosis of Lupus Nephritis greatly. The Immunotherapy can repair the damaged renal intrinsic cells so as to restore the kidney structure. A good prognosis of Lupus Nephritis certainly and mainly depends on an effective treatment. If you want to get more information on Lupus Nephritis treatment, prevention, diet and so on, please email to kidney-treatment@hotmail.com.

Micro-Chinese Medicine can Enhance the Treatment Effect of Immunotherapy
Immunotherapy becomes more and more popular in treating Kidney Disease and
the wonderful functions of Immunotherapy have been known.
What are Immunotherapy?
Immunotherapys are the most primary cells in body. As we grow up, the number of Immunotherapy becomes less and less, and some of them will in dormant state. Therefore, we need to see a doctor when there is wound in our body.
Immunotherapy refers to inject Immunotherapy into patients' body, Immunotherapy will arrive directly to the lesions, with the homing ability. What's the homing ability of Immunotherapy. The lesions will secret some chemical factors and will attract Immunotherapy to the lesions. After arriving to the lesions,
Immunotherapy will produce a large number of daughter cells who will continue to develop into various cells, tissues and vessels the lesions need. In Kidney Disease, Immunotherapy not only can repair the kidneys, but also can release some active factors to activate the kidney cells to secrete erythropoietin, and the erythropoietin will promote the production of red blood cells, thus easing the state of anemia.
Why is Micro-Chinese Medicine also suggested in treating Kidney Disease, although Immunotherapy is much effective in treating Kidney Disease?
Immunotherapys just like "seed", they will differentiate and grow in patients' body. While in patients' body, during to the damage to the kidneys, the kidneys can't discharge out of toxin from the body as usual, so much toxin will accumulate into the bloodstream. In such polluted internal environment, how to guarantee Immunotherapy can grow quickly? Micro-Chinese Medicine can purify the internal environment through dilating blood vessels, degrading extracellular matrix, anti-inflammation and anticoagulation. After Micro-Chinese medicine clean the internal environment, Immunotherapy can grow better in the "fertile lands", and satisfied treatment results will be achieved.
What other information do you want to know? Please email to kidney-treatment@hotmail.com, we'll reply you with related information.

Peritonitis: Complication of Peritoneal Dialysis
Peritonitis is the most common complication of peritoneal dialysis and also
the main cause in leading dialysis to fail. Therefore, it is very important for
the patients on peritoneal dialysis to know the causes of peritonitis so as to
take preventive measures against its occurrence.
Inducements of peritonitis in peritoneal dialysis
1. Pathogenic germs invasion: In the patients on persistent peritoneal dialysis, gram positive bacteria like staphylococcus epidermidis, staphylococcus epidermidis often invade into body leading to infection. The patients on intermittent peritoneal dialysis are often infected by the gram negative bacteria like colibacillus and pseudomonas aeruginosa.
(1) Exogenous infection: The exogenous infection of peritonitis in peritoneal dialysis mainly causing peritonitis through two ways. In one way, peritonitis is caused by improper operation in changing dialysis fluid. In another way, the catheter exit or the tube is infected and the infection involves abdomen causing peritonitis.
(2) The body resistance declines: In normal case, the pathogen invading into abdomen can be cleared away through many ways like the cells immunity and body fluid reaction and so on. However, in the patients on peritoneal dialysis, the dialysis fluid dilutes the concentration of immune substances in their abdomen and damages their normal functions. Moreover, PH of peritoneal dialysis fluid is lower than that in the abdominal cavity thus restraining the resistance ability of abdomen. As a result, the patients on peritoneal dialysis are very likely to have peritonitis.
Once the patients on peritoneal dialysis involve peritonitis, they will have the following clinical symptoms.
Symptoms of peritonitis in peritoneal dialysis
1. Persistent abdomen pain
It is the main symptom of peritonitis in peritoneal dialysis. Especially staphylococcus aureus and gram negative bacilli can case intense pain to the patients. Most of the patients with peritonitis have persistent pain in the whole abdomen. But some only have pain locally in their abdomen.
2. Systemic symptoms
The patients with peritonitis often have shiver, high fever and some are also accompanied by vomit, nausea and other intestinal diseases.
3. Dialysis fluid becomes muddy
When the patients on peritoneal dialysis have peritonitis, they can find their dialysis fluid become muddy when they change it. This symptom is usually the first sigh implying peritonitis.
If the patients on peritoneal dialysis have the above symptoms of peritonitis, they should find what cause it and then receive relative treatment to deal with it.

Chinese Medicine for FSGS (Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis)
FSGS is autoimmune disorder, in which the glomeruli are scarred. Left
untreated or not treated effectively, most of the patients will finally end with
End Stage Renal Failure. Therefore, it is very important for the patients with
FSGS to receive an effective therapy. Here Chinese medicines provide a good
therapeutic effect for the patients with FSGS.
Pathological changes in FSGS
The patients with FSGS have immune deficiency. When external antigens like colds, infections and so on invade into body, the antigens will have reaction with antibodies producing immune complex mainly IGM and C3 and deposit in capillary loops thus causing segmental hyaline degeneration, podocyte foot fusion in the glomerular epithelial cells. As a result, the negative barrier function of epithelial cells is damaged and the protein with negative protein will leak into urine.
Chinese medicines for FSGS
Chinese medicines play four roles in the treatment of FSGS.
1. Dilate blood vessels: Once the immune complex deposits in the glomerular capillaries, it will certainly cause renal ischemia and anoxia. Dilating blood vessels can improve the blood circulation thus alleviating the ischemia and anoxia. It can provide a good environment for repairing the damaged epithelial cells.
2. Anti-inflammation: Anti-inflammation can decrease the infiltration of inflammatory cells thus preventing the further damage to the epithelial cells.
3. Anticoagulation: As the inflammatory cells in blood increase in the blood, it will elevate the viscosity of blood. As a result, microthrombus will form in the glomerular capillaries. Anticoagulation medicines can prevent the microthrombus formation to some extent.
4. Degrading: The inflammatory cells and the microthrombus in capillaries can cause the immune complex to deposit and the extracellular matrix to increase. Chinese medicines can degrade the immune complex and extracellular matrix and then will be discharged into urine.

The Symptoms of Renal Hypertension
Hypertension can be divided into primary hypertension and secondary
hypertension, which includes renal hypertension. Renal hypertension is not only
a sign that the kidney’s conditions are worsening, and it would aggravate kidney
conditions.
Renal hypertension can bring about many symptoms, which are listed as follows.
1. headache
The headache happens in the afterbrain in most cases, which is often accompanied with nausea and vomit.
2.vertigo
Vertigo tends to happen to females, which usually happens when they squat.
3. tinnitus
The tinnitus happens in both ears and persists for a long time.
4. palpitation
Hypertension could cause myocardial hypertrophy, cardiomegaly, MI(myocardial infarction) and cardiac insufficiency, all of which would cause palpitation.
5.insomnia
Patients with renal hypertension tend to have difficulty falling sleep, wake early, have nightmare, and are easy to wake.
6. numbness in limbs
Numbness in finger, toe or skin is very common and their fingers are not flexible.
7.unexplained tumble
As a result of hardening of cerebral blood vessels, triggering ischemia in the brain and malfunction of motor nerve, patients can present ataxia and disequilibrium.
8. epistaxis
According to medical observations, patients with hypertension tend to have repeated epistaxis.

How Do You Get Lupus Nephritis
Lupus Nephritis is a serious complication of systemic lupus erythematosus
(SLE). Many patients with Lupus Nephritis may complain that they do not have a
family history of kidney disease and they are as strong as a bull in daily life,
but why they get Lupus Nephritis?
Autoimmune deficiency plays a major role in the pathogenesis of Lupus Nephritis. When the external antigens like colds, infections and so on invade into body, they will activate the antibodies to fight against the antigens. However, as the autoimmunity has deficiency, the antibodies will impair the healthy tissues in body like form immune complex, activate complement, depositing in glomerular basement membrane. Alternatively, autoantibodies may bind to antigens already located in the glomerular basement membrane forming immune complexes in situ. Then the immune complexes promote an inflammatory response by activating complement and attracting inflammatory cells thus leading to inflammation of glomeruli. As a result, a large amount of protein will leak into urine leading to proteinuria, edema, and hypertension and so on.
The conventional therapies for Lupus Nephritis mainly include hypertension medicines, hormones and so on. After a period of treatment, most of the patients can get a marked improvement. However, even mild infections can trigger the disease again. That is because the medicines and hormone can only treat the symptoms of Lupus Nephritis, but can not treat the causes.
As autoimmunity deficiency plays the main role in causing Lupus Nephritis, the patients need to improve their autoimmunity and restrain the abnormal immune reaction. Moreover, the immune complexes are the harmful substances leading to inflammatory response to glomeruli. Therefore, the patients should choose therapies that can clear away the immune complexes out of body and then repair the impaired glomerular basement membrane. In this way, the patients will be able to improve their renal function enormously. What's worse, once the autoimmunity improves, it will decrease the relapsing of Lupus Nephritis. If you want to get more information about the prevention, diet of Lupus Nephritis and other aspects, you can consult our experts on line or email to kidney-treatment@hotmail.com.

Daily Care for Patients with Lupus Nephritis
Lupus Nephritis is a kidney disorder caused by systemic lupus erythematosus.
As the disease is very likely to relapse, the daily care is very important for
the patients with Lupus Nephritis.
1. Prevent infections: The patients with Lupus Nephritis often use steroids, immunosuppressive agents and other hormones to restrain the abnormal immune reactions. However, those medicines also can impair the healthy immunity thus causing immunity to decline. As a result, the external virus, bacteria is very early to invade into body thus leading to infections. We all know that even if a mild infection may trigger Lupus Nephritis again. Therefore, the patients with Lupus Nephritis should keep healthy daily care to prevent infections as possible as they can.
2. Take proper exercise: Proper exercise can improve blood circulation and strengthen heart and liver functions as well as keep the tenacity of bones and muscles. However, as the patients with Lupus Nephritis usually have arthritis, they should take proper exercise like jogging, bicycling and avoid excessive exercise.
3. Avoid sunshine: The patients with Lupus Nephritis are sensitive to sunshine. If they are exposed to sunlight, it can aggravate their disease. Therefore, the patients with Lupus Nephritis should avoid sunshine as possible as they can.
4. Keep a healthy diet: A healthy diet plays an important role in slowing down Lupus Nephritis progression. Generally speaking, the patients should keep a low protein and salt diet. However, as the disease conditions vary with different patients, the patients should make their personalized diet based on their lab results under their doctors' guidance.
5. Keep a good mood: Lupus Nephritis is a chronic disease. Many patients still do not have any improvement after frequent treatments. Therefore, many patients will lose the confidence in the treatment of the disease. This can discount the treatment effect and aggravate the disease. So the patients themselves should keep optimistic about their disease and other family members should pay more care to them. If so, they will be able to get a better therapeutic effect.
The above article has introduced the daily care for the patients with Lupus Nephritis. If you want to know more information like the treatment of Lupus Nephritis and other aspects, you can email to kidney-treatment@hotmail.com.

However, as the disease conditions vary with different patients, the patients should make their personalized diet based on their lab results under their doctors' guidance.
5. Keep a good mood: Lupus Nephritis is a chronic disease. Many patients still do not have any improvement after frequent treatments. Therefore, many patients will lose the confidence in the treatment of the disease. This can discount the treatment effect and aggravate the disease. So the patients themselves should keep optimistic about their disease and other family members should pay more care to them. If so, they will be able to get a better therapeutic effect.
The above article has introduced the daily care for the patients with Lupus Nephritis. If you want to know more information like the treatment of Lupus Nephritis and other aspects, you can email to kidney-treatment@hotmail.com.

How Do You Get Acute Uric Acid Nephropathy
Acute Uric Acid Nephropathy refers to kidney function decreases rapidly
caused by high levels of uric acid in the urine. How do you get Acute Uric Acid
Nephropathy and how to prevent it? This article will give you a clear
response.
It is very common among the patients with myeloproliferative disorders and malignant tumor, especially after chemotherapy. Acute Uric Nephropathy is caused by renal tubular obstruction by urate and uric acid crystal. Under the influence of chemotherapeutic agents or radiation therapy, a lot of nucleotides are dissolved and cell lysis occurs. As a result, the uric acid level rises in a short time and may exceed 1000 umol/l. When the high uric acid level exceeds the clearance ability of kidneys, the uric acid crystals will deposit in collecting duct, pelvis and even ureter.
The crystal deposition causes increased tubular pressure, increased intrarenal pressure and extrinsic compression of the small diameter renal venous network. As a result, the resistance in renal vessels increases and the renal blood flow decreases. The increased tubular pressure and declined renal blood flow cause a decline in glomerular filtration and lead to oligoanuric Acute Renal Failure.
In order to avoid Acute Uric Acid Nephropathy, the patients with leukemia, lymphoma, multiple myeloma and other malignant tumor should take allopurinol before undergoing chemotherapy. In chemotherapy, they should keep enough water intakes and guarantee their urine output volume reaches 2000~3000 ml per day. Moreover, they should alkalify urine. If necessary, they should take some diuretic to increase the urine output.
Moreover, in some cases, acute gout also can lead to Acute Uric Acid Nephropathy. If you have a prehistory of acute gout and have abnormal symptoms like decreased urine output, you should go to relative exam to find if you have renal injury.

Side Effects of Hormone Therapy in Lupus Nephritis Treatment for Children
Lupus Nephritis is one of serious complications of lupus. More than 60% of
children with lupus will develop Lupus Nephritis. If untreated, the disease will
develop into Chronic Renal Failure. Therefore, once your child is diagnosed with
Lupus Nephritis, an appropriate medical intervention is very necessary for
preventing the disease progression. However, the conventional hormone therapy
brings so many side effects to the children with Lupus Nephritis.
In most cases, the hormone therapy for the children with Lupus Nephritis is generally comprised of corticosteroids to control the inflammation of kidneys and immunosuppressive agents to reduce immune system activity. Although these hormones have obvious effects in eliminating symptoms of Lupus Nephritis, it can result in significant side effects on children.
Generally, steroids are given in high dosage until Lupus Nephritis improves. As a result, long-term and high dosage of steroids usage will lead to aggravation of high blood pressure, infections, Diabetes, nerve system, body weight again, delayed height growth. Theses complications can restrict the healthy growth of the children with Lupus Nephritis.
Moreover, the side effects of immunosuppressive agents in children should also be considered by parents. Long term use of immunosuppressive agents can increase the risk of infections. Especially, cyclophosphamide can lead to hair loss, cancer development, infertility and so on.
Therefore, before taking hormone therapy, the parents should think twice about so many side effects of hormone on their children. In order to avoid the side effects and prevent the progression of Lupus Nephritis thus promoting healthy development for the children, here Chinese herbal medicine is recommended to the children with Lupus Nephritis.
Chinese herbal medicine is a treasure in Chinese medical history with thousands years of history. At present, it has been approved by more and more foreigners. Based on the types and severity of kidney disease, the prescription is also different.
Chinese herbal medicine is mainly comprised of herbs from the nature so they do not have any side effects on the children with Lupus Nephritis.
If you are worrying about your children' Lupus Nephritis and looking forward a better therapy, please consult us on line or email to kidney-treatment@hotmail.com.

Why Do Patients on Dialysis Have Headache
Headache is a common complication of dialysis and its incidence is about 5%.
The main causes of headache for the patients on dialysis are as follows:
1. Balance disturbance syndrome
Balance disturbance syndrome affects about 3~20 of the total population on dialysis and mainly occurs among the patients who start dialysis for a short time. Proper management of dialysis is the key to declining balance disturbance syndrome. The doctors should increase the sodium concentration in the dialysis fluid or add mannitol into the dialysis fluid in order to avoid balance disturbance syndrome.
2. High blood pressure
High blood pressure also can lead to headache. If the patients keep nifedipine or captopril, it will be effective to moderate high blood pressure. If their high blood pressure is out of control, they should stop dialysis at once. Once they stop dialysis, their blood pressure will recover normal, their headache will also disappear.
3. Cerebral hemorrhage
As the patients on dialysis are usually accompanied by high blood pressure and cerebral arteriosclerosis, the incidence of cerebral hemorrhage also rise accordingly. Excessive use of anticoagulant or mild trauma may cause cerebral hemorrhage. For the patients with Polycystic Kidney Disease, rupturing of cerebral aneurysm may also lead to cerebrovascular accident leading to headache. Moreover, subdural hematomas and cerebral embolism also can result in headache.
4. Other causes
In dialysis, if hemolysis occurs or the patients can not tolerate acetate and so on, they also may have headache.
Therefore, once the patients on dialysis have headache, they should reflect to their doctors at once. The doctors should find out the specific cause of headache and receive relative measures to decline the damage greatly.

Is there a Better Treatment for End Stage Renal Failure than Kidney Transplant
Kidney Transplant is the main replacement treatment for the patients with End
Stage Renal Failure in the conventional treatment. However, with the development
of regenerative medicines, Immunotherapy becomes a better choice for the
patients with End Stage Renal Failure.
No matter what the primary diseases of End Stage Renal Failure are, the root cause of renal failure is the renal functional cells fibrosis due to insufficient supplement of oxgen and blood to kidneys. Clinically, many diseases can disturb the normal oxgen supplement to kidneys. For example, in Polycystic Kidney Disease, the enlarged cysts will oppress the surrounding nephrons, Diabetes high blood glucose injury the systemic capillaries including renal capillaries and so on. Once the kidneys can not get sufficient blood supplement, the fibrosis process is initiated.
Therefore, the key in the treatment of End Stage Renal Failure is to improve blood circulation and increase the renal blood flow. On this point, Chinese medicines play an irreplaceable role.
Chinese medicines can dilate blood vessels, degrade extracellular matrix and shrink the cysts and so on. As a result, the initiating factors of renal ischemia and anoxia are blocked. Moreover, once the blood circulation improves, the renal function will be able to stop further damage. Meanwhile, Chinese medicines can supply some micronutrients for repairing the damaged renal functional cells.
However, if the cells are totally necrotic, Chinese medicines are no use for this part of cells.
If so, Immunotherapy is recommended. The patients should make use of the regeneration function of Immunotherapy to improve the renal function. Immunotherapys are the most original cells with multi-potential and multi-directional differentiation ability. After cultivated in right condition, they will be able to differentiate into new renal functional cells to replace the necrotic cells to function. Moreover, Immunotherapy can release many micronutrients that can promote the self-repairing of the damaged cells. As a result, the overall renal function will improve greatly.
The combined application of Chinese medicines and Immunotherapy brings new hope to the patients with End Stage Renal Failure and has been approved by more and more patients at home and abroad.
