Principles of Treating Diabetic Nephropathy

Patients with diabetes are confirmed to develop diabetic nephropathy when U-albumin is more than 300grams over 24 hours. Diabetic nephropathy has no obvious symptoms at beginning, but it progresses rapidly. Uncontrolled or poorly controlled, it leads to Renal Failure. In such case, there are some principles of treating diabetic nephropathy.

Control of blood sugar

Controlling blood sugar strictly at early stage of diabetic nephropathy can improve glomerular filtrating function, and thus decreasing protein in urine and preventing kidney hypertrophy. Strict control of blood sugar at other stages is still beneficial. It can reduce the incidence of urinary tract infection, preventing the kidneys from being further damaged. In general,
Well controlling blood sugar means Fasting Plasma Glucose is less than 6.1mmol/L and 2h Plasma Glucose is less than 8.0mmol/L.

Diabetic Nephropathy is often accompanied by high blood pressure. And keeping blood pressure at a normal level is playing a major role in slowing down kidneys’ deterioration. Usually, patients whose urine protein is less than 1 gram per day should keep blood pressure at 130/80mmHg. And those whose urine protein is more than 1 gram should keep it at 125/75mmHg. Clinical practices have proven, effective control of blood pressure can obviously reduce urine protein and put off deterioration of the kidneys and eyes.

Low protein diet

Low protein diet can ease the glomerular hypertransfusion, reducing protein in urine and increasing concentration of albumin in serum, as well as keeping creatinine clearance rate stable. At present, it is recommended that daily protein intake should limited in 0.6g/kg, or calories of daily protein intake less than 20 percent of total calories of daily intake food.

Use of medicines

Medicines are indispensable in treating diabetic nephropathy. Apart from medicines used for controlling blood sugar and blood pressure, medicines for improving microcirculation should be taken. When using medicines, whatever they are, patients should make sure that those medicines are non-toxic or low-toxic by consulting doctors; because medicines may damage the kidneys.

Every principle above is important in treading diabetic nephropathy, especially the last one. If medicines are improperly used, the damaged kidneys will further deteriorate. Hence, it is significant for patients with diabetic nephropathy to choose a better treatment, say Micro-Chinese Medicine osmotherapy and Immunotherapy, which have no side effects in treating this disease.

Treatment of Urine Protein in Nephrotic Syndrome

Urine protein is a common symptom in Nephrotic Syndrome. If there is protein loss in urine, you can find the urine becomes foamy. Many patients complain that they used a large dosage of medicines, limited protein intake and so on. However, the urine protein does not diminish, but becomes more serious. What treatment should the patients with Nephrotic Syndrome to choose to alleviate urine protein?
Firstly, we should know the root cause of urine protein in Nephrotic Syndrome.

Glomeruli in our kidneys are responsible for filtering blood. Therefore, healthy kidneys can retain what body needs in blood, but pass out the metabolic wastes and excessive fluid into urine by the barrier function of glomeruli. However, in Nephrotic Syndrome, the glomeruli are impaired seriously so they can not prevent the protein that body needs to leak into urine. The patients often can find their urine becomes foamy for protein loss. In order to diminish urine protein, the patients need to repair the damaged glomeruli primarily.

In cytology, the glomeruli play their barrier function by the renal functional cells epithelial cells and endothelial cells. If glomeruli are impaired, it means the renal functional cells are damaged. In order to restore the glomerular barrier function, repairing the damaged glomeruli is the key. Here Immunotherapy is recommended to the patients with Nephrotic Syndrome.

Immunotherapys are undifferentiated cells in body with multi-differentiating and regenerating abilities. In right condition, they can regenerate new cells with the same characteristics or differentiate into new cells with specialized function. In treating Nephrotic Syndrome, Immunotherapy can differentiate into new renal functional cells to replace the necrotic cells to function thus restoring the barrier function of glomeruli. Moreover, Immunotherapy also can release some nutrients to promote the self-repairing of the damaged cells. Consequently, the patients will be able to improve their renal function greatly and even recover the normal renal function so as to prevent protein leakage.

ADPKD Can Lead To Death?

ADPKD (Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease), is a hereditary disease, which means many cysts grow on the kidneys. This is a kind of hereditary disease, if one side of parents has this disease, their children have 50% chance to get the same disease. This character is called family gather. In the ancient time, without useful treatment for patients with ADPKD, the death rate if very high. Up to now, with the development of modern technology, many patients can live a longer life. However, many patients still have this question, ADPKD will lead to Death?

The answer is yes. If this disease can’t be controlled well, the final result is Kidney Failure. Without the useful treatment for Kidney Failure, the death will wait for the patient.

For patients with ADPKD, there is very little treatment for them. When the patient are not so old, such as 20-40 years old, the local doctor will suggest them to observe the body change, and then wait for the kidney cysts become big. If the kidney cysts become big enough, the local doctor will suggest them to receive the surgery to remove the kidney cysts. However, the surgery has two side-effects: 1) the surgery is like a needle puncture into the kidneys, and then abstract the cystic liquid from the cysts, this process will damage the kidney function. 2) After the surgery, the kidney cysts will re-grow, and aggravate the illness condition.

Or the doctors will suggest the patient wait the kidney cysts become big enough, when the kidneys are full of cysts, they will suggest the patients to receive the dialysis, thus maintaining the balance of electrolyte. If the kidneys have damaged more than 95%, the patients are suggested to undergo the kidney transplant. This is the most terrible thing for the patients, because these kinds of treatment lose the best treatment time.

when the kidney cysts are not so big, the patients should receive the useful treatment to delay the development of kidney disease, prevent the growth of kidney cysts. Please don’t think take the medicines for high blood pressure is ok, this medicine can’t protect your kidneys, can’t shrink your kidney cysts, it only can maintain the balance of blood pressure.

Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is a natural treatment for ADPKD, which is abstracted from the Chinese herbs, without any side-effect. It is not a surgery, not an operation, not a oral taking medicine, it can shrink the kidney cysts gradually, and protect the remaining kidney function through the external application.


No matter you are in the stage of Kidney Failure, or you are in the early stage of ADPKD, if you want to know more information about treatment, please e-mail me: kidneytreat@hotmail.com

Can You Lower Creatinine Level by Eating

All patients with Kidney Disease are familiar with creatinine level that can tell how well your kidneys work. The severer the renal damage is, the higher the creatinine level will be. Since creatinine is the metabolic products in body, is it possible for me to lower creatinine level by eating?

In order to make clear about this, we should know the specific causes of high creatinine level in Kidney Disease.

Creatinine is the byproducts of creatine existing in muscle. Healthy kidneys can discharge the creatinine out of body. Therefore, the creainine level can keep a stable level in blood. However, once the kidneys are damaged, they will fail their function in filtering blood. As a result, the metabolic products like creatinine, blood urine nitrogen and so on will accumulate in blood. The creatinine level will rise.

From the root cause of high creatinine level, it can be seen that repairing the damaged kidneys and improve its filtration function is the key to lowering creatinine. As long as we can restore the damaged kidneys, they will recover their normal function. As a result, the creatinine level will decrease afterwards. Therefore, for the patients with Kidney Disease, regulating diet can not lower creatinine at all.


Besides Kidney Disease, there are also some cases resulting in high creatinine level. If you have too much meat in a short time, it can cause creatinine level to increase temporarily. In this case, if you limit the meat intake, your creatinine level will decrease in a short time. Moreover, long time intensive exercise, muscle trauma and dehydration also can result in high creatinine. In these cases, the creatinine level will recover normal in a short time. If your creatinine level keeps high for a long time, you should go for test at once.

Patients Should Take Dialysis before Kidney Transplant

Many patients with Uremia should perform dialysis for a period before dialysis. However, some patients refuse dialysis for its abnormalities and complications. Therefore, many patients ask if they can skip dialysis before kidney transplant. Read on and find the answer.

For the patients with Uremia, their kidneys fail to function normally resulting in a large amount of uremic toxins to accumulate in body. It not only can lead to renal injury, but also can damage other body organs like weak immunity, digestive system damage, malnutrition, uremic myocardosis, high blood pressure, heart failure and so on. Especially, the patients’ hemopoietic system is impaired, they often have serious anemia thus staying in a weak state. The patients’ poor malnutrition, anemia and weak organ function, they can not endure the operation of kidney transplant. What’s worse, those complications can make the success rate of Kidney Transplant discount greatly. Therefore, the patients with Uremia should perform dialysis for about 2~3 months to remove the accumulated uremic toxins in the body. When their organ function has improved obviously, Kidney Transplant is available for them at that time. For example, the patients’ appetite improves obviously so the nutrients condition improves obviously. The excess fluid is removed out of body so the burden to hearts will decrease.
Moreover, after the toxins are removed, the immunity system will be improved so the body resistance against the external virus and bacteria will increase.
What’s the most important is that the using of erythropoietin and vitamin during dialysis can correct anemia and improve renal bone disease. In this way, it will be able to increase the success rate of Kidney Transplant greatly.

Therefore, the patients with Uremia should take dialysis for a period before Kidney Transplant.

However, in recent years, with the development of medical technology, the patients with Uremia can avoid dialysis and Kidney Transplant if they receive proper treatment in time to protect the residual renal function and repair the damaged kidneys.

How to Avoid the Replapse of Membrane Nephropathy

Many patients with Membrane Nephropathy must be mad about this problem: I have received a systemic treatment. The proteinurie test result is negative and the red blood cells in urine disappear. I keep a dietary restriction and do what the doctors tell me, but the disease still relapses frequently.

Here I will provide some information to help the patients with Membrane Nephropathy to solve this problem.

This is an autoimmune disease related to the immune deficiency. When the foreign virus or bacteria as antigens invade into your body, the antibodies in your body are initiated. However, as they have deficiency, they do not fight against the foreign invaders, but deposit under the epithelial cells of glomerulus. As a result, the deposit will damage the epithelial cells thus making them lose the electric barrier. Therefore, some protein that body need will leak into urine.
Moreover, the deposition of antibody can cause the lumen of glomerular capillaries to become thin thus causing renal ischemia and anoxia. Consequently, your renal function will decline seriously.

In the conventional therapies, the patients just treat the clinical symptoms of Membrane Nephropathy such as high blood pressure, proteinuria and so on. Once these symptoms disappear, they think their disease recovers. In fact, as the deposit of antibody is still there, they will cause further damage to their kidneys. Moreover, as the patients depend on hormone, their immunity will decline gradually. Therefore, even if a mild infection such as colds, it will cause their disease to recur.


Therefore, in order to avoid the frequent relapse, the patients should improve their autoimmunity and clear the deposit of antibody as well as improve the renal ischemia and anoxia. In this way, they will be able to prevent Membrane Nephropathy from developing into Renal Failure.

Side Effects of Prednisone on the Patients with Nephrotic Syndrome

Prednisone is a kind of adrenal cortical hormone in the treatment of Nephrotic Syndrome. It can decline the protein leakage, alleviate edema and decline blood pressure and so on. However, long-term using of prednisone can lead to a series of complications.

1. Prednisone can cause sugar urine and high blood sugar level. If the patients have early stage or latent Diabetes, they should be particularly careful when using prednisone.

2. Prednisone can lead to obvious retention of water and sodium in body thus causing edema, increased blood volume and high blood pressure.

3. Long term uses of prednisone can chlorine and calcium negative balance. Moreover, the patients may also be accompanied by the protein loss and osteoporosis.

4. Prednisone can make potassium level decline thus leading to hypokalemia alkalosis.

5. It can cause hirsutism and acne, which can influence the patients’ appearance greatly, especially for the women patients with Nephrotic Syndrome.

6. If the patients with Nephrotic Syndrome over time, it can cause hypercortisolism, obesity, moon-shaped face and so on. It can put much psychological burden to the patients themselves.

7. Prednisone can cause irritable digestive tract ulcer or aggravate the original ulcer thus leading to haemorrhage and other complications.

8. A minority of the patients with Nephrotic Syndrome may have amenorrhea after using prednisone.

9. After using prednisone, the patients’ resistance to infectious pathogens declines.

As prednisone can cause so many side effects, the patients should know how to correct and decline the above adverse effect on the patients as possible as they can.

1. The patients with Nephrotic Syndrome should know the indications of prednisone.

2. In the process of using prednisone, the patients should observe the therapeutic reaction. Once it causes side effects on them, they should decline the dosage under their doctors’ guidance.

3. In the first two weeks of prednisone therapy, the patients should observe their body weight and blood pressure closely. If there are abnormal changes in their body weight or blood pressure, they should tell their doctors at once and adopt corresponding therapy in time.
