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.

Where Is There Protein in Urine for Diabetes?

　　Where Is There Protein in Urine for Diabetes?
　　Where is there protein in urine for diabetes? It indicates that there is damage in the kidney. Damage in kidney which is caused by long time diabetes is called diabetic kidney disease or diabetic nephropathy. In the early stage of diabetic nephropathy in particular, there will be protein leaking out of the body into urine. The main protein is albumin. After kidney is damaged, the permeability of capillary blood vessels in the kidney is also damaged, thus causing the leaking out of albumin.
　　Why is there mainly albumin? High blood sugar condition can promote the reabsorption of sodium, which can increase the content of liquid out of the cells. ANF can make the prerenal tubules blood vessels expand and the shrink of the post-blood vessels, thus causing the ultrafiltration and the ultraperfusion. The final metabolism of sugar can also lead to increased renal glomerular basilar membrane and the ECM, which can damage the renal structure and renal function.
　　Besides, the leaking out of urine is also connected with the controlling of the blood sugar. If the blood sugar is controlled well, diabetic kidney disease will not take place. If we take in more protein, it will also give more burden to the filtration of the kidney, thus accelerating the sclerosis of the renal glomerular capillary blood vessels.

　　So if we want to control or prevent the leaking out of the protein in urine, we should firstly treat diabetes and control the level of blood sugar or glucose. Besides diet, exercise, and so on, treatment is also critical, which can even help patients get off insulin injection. Stem cell therapy is considered to be the priority of the treatment which can help adjust the insulin secretion by repairing beta cell.

Chinese Herb Medicine Treats Glomerulonephritis

　　Chinese Herb Medicine Treats Glomerulonephritis
　　After thousands of years’ development, Chinese medicine and theory has become skilled in treating many kinds of diseases without any side effects as well as treating them from root. The same goes for the treatment of renal glomerulonephritis, the therapy and mechanism of which is as follows:
　　1) Some herbs in this prescription can clear up immune complex and inflammatory factors so that these factors won't further damage the kidneys. As we know, glomerulonephritis is characterized by deposition of immune complex in glomeruali. And such deposition causes damage to the kidneys and also stimulates the body to release inflammatory factors. Too much inflammatory factors further damage the kidneys. Therefore, clearing up such factors is quite important for treating glomerulonephritis.
　　2) Other herbs help to repair the damaged renal functional cells by providing necessary micronutrients for self-repair of renal functional cells and stimulating DNA Replication of renal functional cells. Most of the patients have continuous protein in urine, which indicates that charge barrier and size barrier of epithelial cells and endothelial cells are damaged. And both types of cells are main renal functional cells. As the renal functional cells are repaired, charge barrier and size barrier recover. Protein won't leak out again. Hence, after treated by Chinese herb medicines, protein in urine can be cured.
　　3) These herbs also have effect on improving blood circulation. They realize it by dilating blood vessels, anti-inflammation, anticoagulation and degrading extra cellular matrixes (formed by sclerosed renal functional cells). In this case, ischemia and anoxia of the kidneys can be improved, contributing to stopping the progression of kidney disease and protecting kidney function. This is because ischemia and anoxia are the major factors that aggravate progression of glomerulonephritis. With good circulation, blood pressure becomes stable and edema is relieved. About controlling blood pressure, Chinese herb medicine is different from western anti-hypertensive medicines. Chinese herb medicine has long-term effect, so after treatment, most of patients don’t have to take anti-hypertensive medicines any more.

　　Every coin has two sides and the same goes for traditional Chinese medicine. It will take a long time to collect, smash and boiled, which may delay the treating time. Considering these, Chinese Medicine is created in Kidney Disease Hospital, which is really a creation. It is convenient, applied through osmosis omitting smashing and boiling, thus saving time to treat glomerulonephritis indeed.
