Diet or Food for Kidney Cyst Patients

  Diet or Food for Kidney Cyst Patients
  Firstly, patients with Kidney Cyst should not have fermented food such as fermented bean curd, smelly eggs, which will make the cysts grow faster.
  Secondly, patients should not have organs of animals, especially the liver of the kidney. There must be toxins in animal’s organs. According to Chinese medicine, liver is an organ which can clear the toxin in the body. So, there must be toxins in liver. If patients with Kidney Cyst (Renal Cyst) have more liver, it will increase the burden of the kidney.
  Thirdly, patients with Kidney Cyst should not have sea food such as fish and shrimps. What’s more, bean curd which contains much low-quality protein will also lead to burden to the kidney.
  Fourthly, patients should stop drinking and taking medicine which contains drugs which does harm to kidney.
  Fifthly, patients with Kidney Cyst should also stop chocolate, which can accelerate the growth of the kidney.
  Sixthly, low salt, for too much intake of salt can lead to high blood pressure. After the intake of too much water and sodium, there will be retention of water and sodium, which leads to the swelling of VSMC, the blood vessels become narrower, the resistance force of blood vessels will increase.
  Lastly, pepper should be stopped. Pepper is spicy food, which will stimulate the body and lead to deterioration of kidney disease. Especially for those who have renal cyst or PKD (Polycystic Kidney Disease), pepper or cayenne will stimulate the cysts, making them grow bigger.

  The above mentioned are about the diet or food for patients with renal cyst or kidney cyst. For more information, please consult us online or email us.

6 Main Symptoms of IgA Nephropathy (Berger’s Disease) in Clinic

  6 Main Symptoms of IgA Nephropathy (Berger’s Disease) in Clinic
  IgA glomerulonephritis is a kind of glomerulus which is characterized by the phenomenon that recurrent gross hematuria or microscopic hematuria and mesangial cell increase, and stroma expland, meanwhile, with IgA depositing. The manifestations of IgA Nephropathy in clinic are various, the most typical ones of which are: hematuria(blood urine), proteinuria(protein in urine), nephrotic syndrome, acute renal failure, chronic renal failure and high blood pressure(hypertension).
  1. Gross hematuria Gross hematuria (blood urine) can be found in 30%-50% of patients (urine appears to be brown or water where flesh is washed, and blood clot is rarely seen), which usually occurs after pharyngitis and amygdalitis, or appears under influences like overstrain, a cold, vaccination, pneumonia, gastroenteritis, etc. It usually occurs together with inducements, or occurs several hours to 24 hours after the inducements and then remits spontaneously after lasting several hours to one week. It is the most common symptom for Berger’s Disease.
  2. Proteinuria (protein in urine)
  In most of time, patients with IgA Nephropathy have proteinuria. There is foamy in the surface of the urine, which does not disappear for a long time. The bubble or foam is protein which leaks out into urine, which is also common following hematuria.
  3. Nephrotic Syndrome. Nephrotic Syndrome can be found in 5% to 20% of patients, most of whom are children and youngsters. Four characteristic manifestations are as follows: proteinuria, the amount of protein in which in 24 hours is more than 3.5g, low protein in plasma (hypoproteinemia), hyperlipemia and swelling. It indicates that IgA nephritis has developed into a later stage.
  4. Acute Renal Failure
  It can be divided into two types: one is pathological change with vasculitis caused by large quantity of crescent in glomeruli; the other occurs when large quantity of erythrocyte casts blocks the tubules during gross hematuria.
  5. Chronic Renal Failure.
  Usually, it is the late manifestation of this long-term disease. In this class, patients with IgA Nephropathy can also have other symptoms such as poor appetite, nausea, anemia, vomiting and so on.
  6. Hypertension or high blood pressure. It is a symptom which appears when kidney function gets worse.

  Since we have understood the main symptoms of IgA Nephropathy, we can have a diagnosis in clinic. Next, effective treatment is necessary.

Why Dialysis Can not Treat Diabetic Kidney Disease from Root

  Why Dialysis Can not Treat Diabetic Kidney Disease from Root
  When diabetes develops into diabetic kidney disease, most people will choose dialysis for creatinine is high. But we will find that it can not treat diabetes from root, which makes people feel confused. Please don’t worry.
  We know kidneys have three main functions: 1) Absorb the useful substance from the human body, such as the renal tubules can absorb the useful substance from the original urine. 2) Discharge the waste product from the human body. Such as the waste product can be leakage from the glomeruli. 3) Secrete the waste product from the kidneys. Such as the kidneys can secrete the EPO to produce the red blood cell, and kidneys can secrete the special substance to maintain the balance of blood pressure.
  At present, dialysis only can achieve the second function, the first and the third function can’t be achieved by the dialysis. Therefore, after the dialysis, more patients’ creatinine still higher than the normal level, and the hemoglobin is lower than the normal level.
  Therefore, only receive the dialysis can help her discharge the waste products, it can't repair the damaged kidneys, can't treat the kidney disease.

  So we suggest Chinese Medicine therapy, and it is aimed to repair her damaged kidney cells thus helping stop the dialysis.

How does Diabetes Affect Kidney?

  How does Diabetes Affect Kidney?
  How does diabetes affect kidney? Diabetes is a kind of disease which related to the whole body’s vessels. Kidney Disease is a complication of Diabetes. The reason why people have Diabetes is because the pancereatic islet can’t secrete the useful insulin.
  There are many pancereatic islets in the pancreas, which can secrete insulin. The main function of insulin is to regulate the glycometabolism, fat metabolism and protein. Pancereatic islet produces much insulin, but the insulin can not working very well. Such as there are 10 insulin, only 2 insulin working. Therefore, pancereatic islet need to secret more and more insulins to maintain the dynaimic balance of human body.
  If things go on like this, pancereatic islet will have a lot of work need to do, it will fell very tired. So pancereatic islet appear ’strike’. Lack of enough insulin, so the metabolism of sugars has become disturbed, patients have high blood sugar, and protein become distured, which related to kidneys( protein needs to metabolize by the kidneys), so your father have more protein in the kidneys, and clinical test reports show high creatinine in blood and foam in urine. It indicates that the kidney is damaged for kidney has function of discharging creatinine out of the body and preventing the protein out of the body. The foam in urine is caused by protein.

  To prevent diabetes affecting kidney, we should treat diabetes in time and especially control the level of blood sugar or blood glucose. We can also take treatment measures such as injecting insulin, stem cell therapy and so on.
