How to Treat Renal Edema

How to treat renal edema? Kidney is the important organ to eliminate water and sodium in human body. When there is kidney disease, the elimination of water and sodium will decrease, which will cause the retention of water and sodium in the body. Then the edema occurs. There are four reasons can lead to edema: 1, the decline of glomerulus filtration rate; 2, the change of systematic capillary permeability, which will promote the liquid enter tissue space; 3, the decline of plasma albumin, which will cause the decrease of plasma oncotic pressure; 4, the decrease of effective blood volume, which will lead to increase of secondary aldoaterone.

In clinical, renal edema can be divided into two types according to their pathogenesis:

Type 1, nephropathy edema: this type of edema is common in primary glomerulus nephropathy and nephrotic syndrome caused by various causes. The mechanisms of this type of edema are as following: ①, the decrease of plasma oncotic pressure: the proteinuria of kidney disease will cause the hypoproteinemia, the decrease of plasma oncotic pressure, the increase of liquid filtration in capillary, the decline of liquid recycled from tissue space, and at last it will lead to the edema. ②, the decline of effective blood volume: the exosmosis of plasma will decrease the effective blood volume, stimulate the volume receptor in blood vessels, activate the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, then the secretion of antidiuretic hormone will increase, the secretion of natriuretic hormonewill decrease, the amount of sodium resorpted by renal tubule will increase. All of these will aggravate the retention of water and sodium and aggravate the edema.
Type 2, nephritis edema: this type of edema is common in acute nephritis, a part of rapidly progressive nephritis and chronic nephritis, other types of glomerulus disease. This type of edema is mainly caused by: ①, the decline of glomerulus filtration rate, which will lead to the decline of the elimination of water and sodium; ②, the unbalance of glomerulus-renal tubule: when the acute glomerulus nephritis occurs, the glomerulus filtration rate will decrease sharply, but the resorption of renal tubule is still normal. So the unbalance of glomerulus-renal tubule will lead to the increase the renal tubule's resorption of water and sodium and cause edema; ③, the capillary hydrostatic pressure increases, then too much capillary liquid will enter to tissue space, which will lead to edema; ④, when acute nephritis occurs, some patients will attacked by congestive heart failure for the increase of blood volume and hypertension, which will aggravate the edema.


Then how to treat renal edema? As for the treatment of renal edema, Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital adopts Micro-Chinese Medicine Osomtherapy. This therapy can activate the function of renal inherent cells and make the damaged cells recover; it can improve the microcirculation of damaged kidney, provide the kidney with a aerobic repairing environment and accelerate the repair of renal inherent cells; it can improve the inner environment of damaged kidney and relieve the poisoning condition; it can regulate the immune and metabolism function, control the development of disease and provide a good foundation for the repair of renal inherent cells. Besides, it can provide nutrient for the repair of damaged kidney and accelerate the process of repairing renal inherent cells.
