Do You Know Acute Renal Failure?

Acute Renal Failure usually occurs when blood supply to kidneys is suddenly interrupted or when kidneys become overloaded with toxins. Causes of Acute Renal Failure include accidents, injuries, or complications from surgeries in which kidneys are deprived of normal blood flow for extended periods of time. Heart-bypass surgery is an example of one such procedure.
Acute Renal Failure takes place rapidly: over days, weeks, or months. It can be caused by an illness connected with severe infection, severe dehydration for a prolonged period, or due to kidney stones that block urine being drained out of the body. If the symptoms are recognized and treated early, these conditions are usually totally curable.
Among the accidental causes of Acute Renal Failure is there also the crush syndrome, when large amounts of toxins are suddenly released in blood circulation after a long compressed limb is suddenly relieved from the pressure obstructing the blood flow through its tissues, causing ischemia. The overload can lead to the clogging and the destruction of the kidneys. It is a reperfusion injury that appears after the release of the crushing pressure. The mechanism is believed to be the release into the bloodstream of muscle breakdown products – notably myoglobin, potassium and phosphorus – that are the products of rhabdomyolysis (the breakdown of skeletal muscle damaged by ischemic conditions). The specific action on the kidneys is not fully understood, but may be due in part to nephrotoxic metabolites of myoglobin.
Unlike Chronic Renal Failure, however, Acute Renal Failure is reversible, allowing the patient to resume a normal life. People suffering from Acute Renal Failure require effective treatment until their kidneys recover function. To patients of Acute Renal Failure, timely treatment is necessary.

Why Overweight People are Easy to Suffer from Renal Failure?

Overweight isn’t just a cosmetic problem and it’s a health problem as well. Most people know overweight can cause Hypertension, high blood fat, arteriosclerosis, fatty liver, Diabetes, stroke and other diseases while very people realize that overweight can also lead to Renal Failure. In fact, overweight does damage to kidneys through four ways: high blood pressure, high blood sugar (Diabetes), high blood fat, high uric acid. Meanwhile, these four factors interact, forming a vicious circle. Many overweight people do not understand why they are suffering from Renal Failure without any warning signs.
Renal damage under high blood pressure
Overweight can result in Hypertension. When the blood pressure elevates, there will be more pressure on blood vessels in kidneys. If this condition lasts for a long time, blood vessels in kidneys will hardenas well as the kidneys. In addition, due to overweight, a large amount of fat will wrap the kidneys, there will occur buildup of fat, causing bad blood circulation in kidneys. In the early stage, there will occur hardening of glomerulus. As time goes by, in the end stage, the kidneys may be in a state of Renal Failure or atrophy.
Renal damage under high blood fat
Overweight can easily cause high blood fat, thereby lead to renal damage.The morphological change of kidneys is the increase of fat in kidneys, increase in weight and enlargement in size. In histological test, there usually appears obvious deposition of fat granule in renal tubules and glomerular basement membrane and glomerulus is enlarged, thus leading to focal segmental glomerulosclerosis and then Renal Failure.
Renal damage under high blood sugar
Overweight is easy to cause insulin resistance and then latent Diabetes. Especially, women with a fatty body are tend to suffer from non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). The onset is latent and usually there are no typical symptoms, like polydipsia (drink more), eat more (polyphagy), diuresis (urinate more). Some patients look very strong with rosy cheeks and full of energy. These patients usually go to see a doctor because of some complications and Renal Failure is one of the first comlications.
Renal damage under high uric acid
Hyperuricemia is caused by long-term metabolic disorder of purine metabolism, which is common in overweight people. The manifestations are the recurrence of acute arthritis, deposition of gouty tophus, chronic arthritis, joint deformity, pathological changes in renal parenchyma and the formation of acidcalculus. About 20%-40% of the patients may intermittently occur little proteinuria in the early stage. As the disease progresses, there may occur persistent proteinuria as well as microscopic hematuria. The urine shows negative and there may occur mild edema and moderate benign Hypertension. Decline of concentration function of renal tubular may occur to almost all the patients. Besides, the damage of concentration function of renal tubular is earlier than the damage of glomerular function. The disease usually progresses into Renal Failure after a long time, thus threatening people's life.
There are some signals, prompting the kidneys have been damaged.
When there occurs the following symptoms with the overweight people, they should go to the hospital to do some relevant tests. Especially overweight people with a medical history of kidney disease should pay much attention.
1. Aching and limp in waist and knees, and feel fatigue in the whole body;
2. Edema on eyelids and bilateral lower limbs;
3. Much foam in urine and last for a long time, which may be the signal of proteinuria;
4. Patients with high blood pressure, high blood sugar, high blood fat and high uric acid;
5. Bad appetite, nausea, vomiting, abdominal distension, diarrhea and peculiar smell in mouth with unknown reasons;
6. Anemia with unknown reasons;
7. Bone pain in the whole body and skin inch without obvious reasons;
8. Infection, such as respiratory tract infection or urinary infection.

What Is Chronic Kidney Failure?

Generally speaking, Chronic Kidney Failure develops slowly, but the delay of treatment may finally lead to Uremia. And the pathogenesis of Chronic Kidney Failure is as following:
1. Various of pathological damages to kidney will lead to blood microcirculation obstacles which cause ischemia and anoxia of renal tissue. Damages to renal blood endothelial cells will lead to the infiltration of inflammatory cells and the release of inflammatory mediators. Through this
2. The damaged renal histocyte will release a series of virulent cell factor and growth factor which promote the transform of the healthy renal cells. These transformed cells will continue to release toxic substances, thus aggravating the damage on kidneys.
3. After transformed, the cells, especially the renal fibroblast will secrete extracellular matrix which is difficult to be degraded. When large amounts of extracellular matrix pile up in kidneys, they will replace healthy renal unites, thus leading to glomerulosclerosis, kidney tubules & mesenchyme fibrosis and renal vessels fibrosis.
4. With the development of renal fibrosis, functional renal unites reduces gradually and renal function loses continuously, thus leading to the scar, and finally, the disease will develop into Renal Failure or even Uremia.
Chronic Kidney Failure happens gradually and it usually over years. The initial symptoms are usually very mild and could go unnoticed for years. Symptoms usually are noticed when it is too late and little can be done to reverse the situation.
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) slowly gets worse over time. In the early stages, there may be no symptoms. The loss of function usually takes months or years to occur. It may be so slow that symptoms do not occur until kidney function is less than one-tenth of normal. The final stage of Chronic Kidney Failure is called end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The kidneys no longer function and the patient needs the effective treatments.

Tests for Patients with Renal Failure

There are many patients of Renal Failure and even other disease are unwilling to take tests in hospital. In my opinion, there are two main reasons for their unwillingness. On one hand, the cost of tests is a little high and the patients of Renal Failure want to save money. On the other hand, there may no abnormal symptoms after the test, which will make the patients of Renal Failure think it is a waste. However, I think patients should think the test in hospital according to another way. If they find disease according to the test before the disease aggravates, they will save large amounts of money in the treatment. In addition, patients of Renal Failure should be pleasant for they have no abnormal symptoms in stead of complaining. Only if the patients of Renal Failure have taken the tests can the doctors provided suggestions for them.
To patients of Renal Failure or the people who have problems in kidneys, I list some common and routine tests for you.
1. GFR
Glomerular Filtration Rate is the best test to measure the level of kidney function and determine the stage of kidney disease. Doctor can calculate it from the results of your blood creatinine test, your age, race, gender and other factors. Calculate the Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR), which is the best way to tell how much kidney function you have. It is unnecessary to have another test to know the GFR.
2. Ultrasound or CT Scan
Perform an ultrasound or CT scan to get a picture of your kidneys and urinary tract. This tells your doctor whether your kidneys are too large or too small, whether you have a problem like a kidney stone or tumor and whether there are any problems in the structure of your kidneys and urinary tract.
3. Kidney Biopsy
Perform a kidney biopsy, which is done in some cases to check for a specific type of kidney disease, see how much kidney damage has occurred and help plan treatment. To do a biopsy, the doctor removes small pieces of kidney tissue and looks at them under a microscope. Your doctor may also ask you to see a kidney specialist who will consult on your case and help manage your care.
4. Blood Test
Blood Routine Examination is the most common test for almost all the disease for we can analyse the elements in blood so as to find the abnormal factors.
There are many results or data need to take relevent tests, such as blood pressure, sugar blood, blood fat and so on. If you want to get a more accurate diagnosis, you must provide the information as detailed as possible. If you still want to know more about the tests according to your disease, you can contact with me: liufuqin818@gmail.com.

Dear doctor, I had kidney stones problem since childhood..........

Dear doctor, I had kidney stones problem since childhood, but recently, I was having severe pain in my both kidneys and when these were diagnosed, I was told that I have PKD. What should I do in this initial stage and how can I come to you. Please I will be looking forward for your immediate reply.
About Polycystic Kidney Disease, it is a kind of genetic disease. And for this kind of disease, there is no method that can completely remove the multiple cysts all around the world. What we can only do is to control the growth of cysts so that they will not influence your normal life.
In PKD, there are large and small cysts. These cysts can grow with time going by and gradually cause high blood pressure and damage to the kidney. Finally kidney function can not maintain the normal functions and it develops to end stage of kidney failure. The key point in treating PKD is to shrink the cysts on the basis of protecting the kidney functions to reduce the pressure of the kidney and avoid the influence on kidney functions.
Our hospital mainly adopts Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy to treat PKD which focuses on restraining the growth of the cysts. The characteristic of this method is as below:
1. The medicines can inactivate the epithelial cells of kidney cyst to retrain the secretion of cystic fluid and stop its growing.
2. Increase the discharge of the cystic fluid, strengthen the permeability of the cystic surface so as to accelerate the removal of cystic fluid and shrink your kidney cysts.
In this way, kidney cysts can be reduced gradually.
So in the initial stage, you should control the growth of your kidney cysts so your kidney function can be protected and you can live normally. However, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is only available in China. Is it possible for you to come to China for treatment?

【Suitable Foods for Patients with Lupus Nephritis】


You need to have a “kidney-friendly” meal plan when you have lupus nephritis. What you eat affects your health, so we can see that diet plays an important role in patients’ treatment. A good and scientific diet can help patients recover soon.
Here are the suitable foods for patients with lupus nephritis.
1. Low-fat food
Patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) have less activates, so their digestive function is poor. They had better eat light and digestible food, such as vegetables and fruit rich in vitamin, because these foods could prevent osteoporosis caused by glucocorticoid. Do not eat high-fat greasy food.
Can Dialysis Patients Eat Pepper
2. Low-salt food
Using glucocorticoid will keep water and sodium detained in body. This can lead to swelling. So low-salt diet is necessary.
3. High quality protein food
SLE patients with damaged kidney often lose large amounts of protein from urine, and it can lead to hypoproteinemia. Thus patients have to supply sufficient high quality protein.
Patients can drink milk, bean products, eggs, lean meat, fish etc.
The following food they should avoid: fig, rape, bullacta exarata, celery, mushroom, fungi etc.
Why coldrex lead to renal failure
The key point for patients with SLE is to have right treatment. I recommend traditional Chinese medicine treatment to you.
The treatment is to comprehensively use vascular dilation, anti-inflammatory, anti-freezing and degradation of harmful substances to treat damaged kidney based on different patient’s condition.

What are the Causes of Nephrotic Syndrome?


Email:tsthospital@hotmail.com

Nephrotic syndrome can be divided into primary, secondary and congenital types. Primary one is caused by kidney lesions and accounts for more than 90% of all cases; Secondary one is caused by extra-renal diseases such as purpura nephritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, hepatitis B related nephritis, etc; Congenital nephrotic syndrome is mostly related to hereditary diseases and it is rare in clinic. Different types of nephrotic syndrome have different causes, but generally speaking the common causes are as follows:
1. Immune diseases.
Nephrotic Syndrome can be caused by many other diseases such as SLE (Systemic Lupus Erythematosus), purpura nephritis and Hepatitis B associated glomerulonephritis.
2. Infections.
Bacterial infection and virus infection as well as parasitic infection are the main infections leading to Nephrotic Syndrome.
3. Toxin and medicines
Toxication, allergy, bee bite, snake venom, organic or inorganic mercury, or some certain medicines such as penicillamine, trimethadione can induce Nephrotic Syndrome.
4. Tumors
Tumors or carcinoma in lung, colon, stomach, kidney, ovary or thyroid and some diseases such as leukemia and lymphoma can all cause Nephrotic Syndrome.
5. Hereditary Diseases
According to the research, differences in the races, environment and locations are important factors affecting morbidity rate for Nephrotic Syndrome. These factors could increase the susceptibility for the attack of Minimal Change Disease.
