Early Symptoms of Chronic Renal Failure

Chronic Renal Failure is a relative serious kidney disease.So we should find it early.Avoid your disease become kidney failure.

In the body the kidneys maintain the correct balance of fluid, electrolytes, and waste products. Early symptoms of chronic renal failure are vague because the disease occurs slowly. The National Kidney Foundation reports 26 million American adults have CRF; many more are in the early stages and do not know it.

Decreased Glomerular Filtration Rate

Changes in lab work are the first symptoms noted in early CRF. Glomerular filtration rate, or GFR, is the amount of blood your kidneys are able to filter in one minute. Normal healthy kidneys should filter at least 90 milliliters of blood per minute. Kidney function is determined based on a person's GFR.
Early in CRF, the GFR remains stable or diminished only very slightly. According to Scott and White hospital people typically do not have symptoms until the GFR is significantly decreased. Even with a GFR between 60 and 89 mL/min, symptoms will be mild, if any.

Protein in The Urine

Diminished renal reserve is the term used for the early changes taking place in kidney function. The only clinical finding is protein in the urine, with a normal GFR and when patients have no symptoms. Unless a random urinalysis is performed, this symptom will be overlooked.

General Feeling of Illness

Donna D. Ignatavicius, MS RN, and M. Linda Workman, Ph.D, authors of "Medical-Surgical Nursing: Critical Thinking for Collaborative Care", explain that patients with early symptoms of chronic renal failure may complain of a general feeling of illness. Lack of energy and fatigue are often reported without any identifiable cause.

Headache

Headache may be present and is another vague symptom. Often attributed to other problems such as muscle tension, stress, sinus congestion or migraines, complaints of headache will go unrecognized until other more serious symptoms present themselves. For example, noticeable fluid retention and high blood pressure accompanying headache may point a health care practitioner in the right direction to assess for diminished kidney function.

Decreased Appetite

A decreased appetite is one of the early symptoms of chronic renal failure. This occurs because of the slowly increasing level of nitrogenous wastes in the body due to the kidney's inability to properly remove waste products from the blood. This vague symptom can go on for quite some time before becoming problematic.

Nausea

Just like a decreased appetite, this symptom is often attributed to other problems like fatigue, stress or a mild illness. Because the early symptoms of chronic renal failure are so vague, they are often downplayed.

Dry Itchy Skin

As waste products build up in the body, dry itchy skin develops. People will often try lotion to help alleviate the problem. Only when the symptoms become severe will patients typically seek medical care.

Treatments

Chinese herbs can relieve these symptoms naturally.In my mind Kidney Disease can be treated rootly if you keep a healthy living style and use chinese medicine rightly.

Do you heard Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy? This therapy could let Chinese Medicine through kidneys directly through you back.

Chronic Kidney Failure Symptoms and Treatment

Chronic Kidney Failure refer to a big damage of your kidneys .And will have many Symptoms .In this article I will show you the symptoms of Chronic Kidney Failure.

Causes and symptoms of kidney Failure

Kidney failure is triggered by disease or a hereditary disorder in the kidneys. Both kidneys are typically affected. The four most common causes of chronic kidney failure include:
Diabetes. Diabetes mellitus (DM), both insulin dependant (IDDM) and non-insulin dependant (NIDDM), occurs when the body cannot produce and/or use insulin, the hormone necessary for the body to process glucose. Long-term diabetes may cause the glomeruli, the filtering units located in the nephrons of the kidneys, to gradually lose functioning.
Glomerulonephritis. Glomerulonephritis is a chronic inflammation of the glomeruli, or filtering units of the kidney. Certain types of glomerulonephritis are treatable, and may only cause a temporary disruption of kidney functioning.
Hypertension. High blood pressure is unique in that it is both a cause and a major symptom of kidney failure. The kidneys can become stressed and ultimately sustain permanent damage from blood pushing through them at an excessive level of pressure over a long period of time.
Polycystic kidney disease. Polycystic kidney disease is an inherited disorder that causes cysts to be formed on the nephrons, or functioning units, of the kidneys. The cysts hamper the regular functioning of the kidney.
Other possible causes of chronic kidney failure include kidney cancer, obstructions such as kidney stones, pyelonephritis, reflux nephropathy, systemic lupus erythematosus, amyloidosis, sickle cell anemia, Alport syndrome, and oxalosis.
Initially, symptoms of chronic kidney failure develop slowly. Even individuals with mild to moderate kidney failure may show few symtpoms in spite of increased urea in their blood. Among the symptoms that may be present at this point are frequent urination during the night and high blood pressure.
Most symptoms of chronic kidney failure are not apparent until kidney disease has progressed significantly. Common symptoms include:
Anemia. The kidneys are responsible for the production of erythropoietin (EPO), a hormone which stimulates red cell production. If kidney disease causes shrinking of the kidney, this red blood cell production is hampered.
Bad breath or a bad taste in mouth. Urea, or waste products, in the saliva may cause an ammonia-like taste in the mouth.
Bone and joint problems. The kidneys produce vitamin D, which aids in the absorption of calcium and keeps bones strong. For patients with kidney failure, bones may become brittle, and in the case of children, normal growth may be stunted. Joint pain may also occur as a result of unchecked phosphate levels in the blood.
Edema. Puffiness or swelling around the eyes, arms, hands, and feet.
Frequent urination.
Foamy or bloody urine. Protein in the urine may cause it to foam significantly. Blood in the urine may indicate bleeding from diseased or obstructed kidneys, bladder, or ureters.
Headaches. High blood pressure may trigger headaches.
Hypertension, or high blood pressure. The retention of fluids and wastes causes blood volume to increase, which in turn, causes blood pressure to rise.
Increased fatigue. Toxic substances in the blood and the presence of anemia may cause feelings of exhaustion.
Itching. Phosphorus, which is typically eliminated in the urine, accumulates in the blood of patients with kidney failure. This heightened phosphorus level may cause itching of the skin.
Lower back pain. Pain where the kidneys are located, in the small of the back below the ribs.

Nausea, loss of appetite, and vomiting. Urea in the gastric juices may cause upset stomach. This can lead to malnutrition and weight loss.

Treatment of Kidney Failure

Unhealthy blood is the chief culprit of the damage to renal tissues and root cause of lingering kidney disease. If the blood in the body is heavily contaminated, the organs and tissues where the blood flows through will be damaged. After we find the cause of kidney damage- the unhealthy blood, Clear Blood Pollution Therapy is invented to treat kidney disease fundamentally.

Clear Blood Pollution Therapy will start with treating the blood, not the kidney. Namely, we don't start from repairing the renal lesions, but start from the patients' unhealthy blood contaminated with toxic and harmful substance.
This therapy is specialized in removing the toxin and harmful substance on vascular walls and blood vessels so as to effectively restore original hematopoietic and blood circulation mechanism of the patients so as to cure kidney disease.

Protein Intake and CKD

Diet is one of important factors in your kidney disease health.I believe that every kidney disease patients knew the importance of high quality protein for their kidney problem .So I want to introduce the relationship between Protein intake and CKD.

The amount of protein you can have depends upon the progression of the disease. If you're in the earlier parts of kidney failure, you'll probably have to limit the amount of protein you can consume. That's because your kidneys will have trouble eliminating urea, which is a waste product of protein metabolism.
Protein is essential for repairing and maintaining muscles, organs and other tissues. You also need some protein to keep your immune system functioning properly. Reducing your protein intake will take some of the load off your kidneys, but, you'll still need some protein, probably about 1 gram protein per kilogram of bodyweight, or less, per day. Ask your health care provider exactly how much protein you can consume. You may also need to speak with a dietitian or nutritionist who specializes in kidney disorders. He or she will help design a meal plan that's safe for your kidneys.
If your disease progresses to the stage where you need dialysis, you'll probably need to increase your protein intake again, up to 10 ounces of high-protein foods per day. But you need to be careful about which types of proteins you choose. Some of the plant-based protein sources are also high in potassium and phosphorus, two minerals that you may still need to limit. These plant-based protein sources are nuts, seeds, peanuts, legumes and lentils. Grains and animal based protein sources should be fine.

High Protein Foods

In order to monitor your protein intake, you'll need to know which foods are highest in proteins. In general foods from animal sources contain the most protein. So poultry, meat, seafood, dairy products and eggs are generally high in protein.

Plant-based foods may also contain protein, but usually in much smaller amounts. However, foods like legumes, nuts, seeds and grains (products made from these foods) can be high in protein.

OK,that is a part I want to tell you.In the end I want to introduce some knowledge about Chinese herbs, Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has a history of several thousand years up to now .And can make people avoid pain caused by operation .In the aspect of curative effect,TCM can treat disease in root.And will not relapse.

I know a therapy treat CKD in TCM.It named Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy,this therapy could let herbs enter you kidneys directly through skin .And the treatment progress only 40 minutes every time.And you just need lie down on the bed for 40 minutes.

Polycystic Kidney Disease Symptoms and Treatment

In the patients mind PKD is a horrific disease.Because they can't image that it has so many cyst in thus a small kidney. I want to tell you if you find early and treatment early this disease is not so bloodcurdling.


From this article you can have a deeper understanding of Polycystic Kidney Disease.

Polycystic kidney disease, or PKD, is a disease that has genetic causes, meaning it is passed through the genes from parent

To child The disease gets its name from the many cysts that cluster together on the kidneys. These cysts aren't malignant, but they are filled with fluid. With this disease, the cysts can grow in other parts of your body as well, such as the pancreas or liver. The cysts disrupt normal functioning and workings of the kidneys, and at some point, it can be too much, and the kidneys may fail. There are many symptoms associated with this disease.

Renal Symptoms

Since the kidney may be covered in cysts, this can cause the size of the kidneys to be enlarged. They can even be as big as a football. Kidney infections and UTIs (urinary tract infections) are not uncommon if you have polycystic kidney disease. You may also suffer from kidney stones. When you urinate, you may notice blood

in your urine; you may have more frequent urges to urinate at night also.

Cardiovascular Symptoms

The cysts are filled with fluid, and as they grow bigger with more and more fluid, they may put pressure on the renal blood vessels, which can, in turn, cause high blood pressure. Your readings can become very high and become critical, so it's important that you keep a daily record of your blood pressure readings if you suffer from this disease. The heart valves may be affected as well, sometimes leading to mitral valve prolapse.

Treatment

If you want to ease the cyst.First you should to do is clear the inner environment of kidneys.There is a therapy named Blood Pollution Therapy this therapy could cleared the polluted and make the kidneys have a cleared blood environment.

the Detailed Introduction on Stage 4-5 CKD

Stage 4-5 CKD refers to larger kidney damage in the patients.Today I will tell you some detailed introduction on stage 4-5 CKD.

Stage 4 CKD is severely reduced kidney function, 15-30% (eGFR 15-29ml/min/1.73m2)
Stage 5 CKD is very severely reduced kidney function (endstage or ESRF/ESRD), less than 15% (eGFR less than 15 ml/min).
Creatinine and eGFR in an individual are usually quite stable. Deteriorating renal function needs rapid assessment. Note that CKD staging and management outlined below are only applicable to stable renal function.

Assessment and management of stable Stages 4 and 5 CKD.

Initial assessment is identical to Stage 3 CKD, but in contrast to Stage 3, referral to or discussion with a specialist service will be usual. Exceptions to 'always refer or discuss' may include patients in whom:
severe renal impairment is part of another terminal illness
those in whom all appropriate investigations have been performed and there is an agreed and understood care pathway
those in whom further investigation and management is clearly inappropriate.

Initial assessment of stages 4 and 5 CKD

Is the patient well? Is there a history of significant associated disease?
If assessment is precipitated by a first discovery of elevated creatinine, it is important to be certain that the value is stable. Maybe there are previously recorded values? If not, and the patient is well, repeat test within 14 days. Ideally this sample should be taken after a period of at least 12h without meat consumption, and the sample must get to the lab or be separated the same day. Deteriorating renal function needs rapid assessment.
Clinical assessment - especially for sepsis, heart failure, hypovolaemia, examination for bladder enlargement (imaging indicated if obstruction suspected from symptoms or examination), cardiovascular system.
Medication review - any potentially nephrotoxic drugs, or drugs that need dose alterations when GFR reduced?
Urine tests: dipstick for blood and quantitation of proteinuria by ACR/PCR. Presence of haematuria or proteinuria may suggest progressive renal disease.

Blood tests: Ca, PO4, Hb.

Imaging - exclusion of obstruction is indicated in patients with singnificant urinary symptoms or other things to suggest obstruction.
As above, referral or discussion is usual. Referral by urgency

Management of stable Stages 4 and 5 CKD

Typically 3 monthly estimation of
Creatinine and K - hyperkalaemia that is severe or not responsive to changes in therapy should lead to discussion or referral.
Hb - if low, exclude non-renal cause. More on anaemia.
Ca and phosphate - Oral phosphate binders will often be necessary. More on Ca and phosphate.
Urinary protein for ACR or PCR. Note thresholds; ACR 30 or PCR 50 for more stringent blood pressure targets (and suffix 'p' on CKD stage), and ACR 70 or PCR 100 for specialist referral/discussion. More on proteinuria
Blood pressure - 140/90 max (130-139/90), or 130/80 max (120-129/80) for patients with proteinuria: urinary ACR>30 or PCR>50. More on hypertension
Cardiovascular risk - advice on smoking, exercise and lifestyle. Consider cholesterol lowering therapy if already have macrovascular disease, or if estimated 10 year risk of cardiovascular events =/>20%. More on CV risk in CKD
Immunization - influenza and pneumococcal, plus hepatitis B immunization if renal replacement therapy contemplated.
Medication review - regular review of medication to minimise nephrotoxic drugs (particularly NSAIDs) and ensure doses of others are appropriate to renal function.
In osteoporosis/ low bone density, do not use bisphosphonates or other agents that reduce bone turnover without detailed assessment of possibility of renal osteodystrophy. Specialist discussion required.
About CKD stages
GFR>60 Stages 1+2 CKD
GFR 30-59 Stage 3 CKD:
GFR<30 Stages 4+5 CKD

Seven Points to Prevent Polycystic Kidney Disease becoming severe

Today I will share Seven Points about Prevent Polycystic Kidney Disease becoming severe .I I Hope this article is useful for your disease.

Prevention of tiredness

The tiredness including two parts: mental and physical. Mental fatigue will affect the patient′s brain thinking and command function. Meanwhile, there will be inconsistent organic function and aggravation of kidney function.
As for physical fatigue, deposited toxins can not be excreted by the impaired kidney, so the progression of renal damage will be aggravated.

Injury

Enlarged kidneys will pose great pressure on the patients abdominal cavity, any injuries can easily cause the rupture and bleeding of cysts.

High blood pressure

As a serious complication, on the one hand, it can accelerate kidney damage, on the other hand, it may cause cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. So, well control of blood pressure are crucial.

Avoid influenza

Influenza, especially the repeated influenza will cause larger immunity damage to the kidneys and delay the progression of kidney damage.

Diet

Reasonable diet plan play an significant role in delaying the progression of this disorder. Some suggestions are as follows: the intake of salt should be controlled at 2-3g/d. Eat less foods that abundant in potassium and phosphorus, choose low-fat diet and so on.

Emotion regulation

This disease is controllable and curable, if you have been diagnosed with it, being optimistic and positive are always your good choices.

Infections

The control of infections include two aspects: the internal infection of cysts and the urinary tract infection. Infections will aggravate the progression of damaged kidney or even cause irreversible consequences.

Treatments

Share a efficient therapy for PKD.This therapy named Blood Pollution Therapy,The Following content is the introduction of this therapy.

Unhealthy blood is the chief culprit of the damage to renal tissues and root cause of lingering kidney disease. If the blood in the body is heavily contaminated, the organs and tissues where the blood flows through will be damaged. After we find the cause of kidney damage- the unhealthy blood, Clear Blood Pollution Therapy is invented to treat kidney disease fundamentally.

Clear Blood Pollution Therapy will start with treating the blood, not the kidney. Namely, we don't start from repairing the renal lesions, but start from the patients' unhealthy blood contaminated with toxic and harmful substance.
This therapy is specialized in removing the toxin and harmful substance on vascular walls and blood vessels so as to effectively restore original hematopoietic and blood circulation mechanism of the patients so as to cure kidney disease.

CKD in older people

If you was diagnosed with Chronic Kidney Disease(CKD) you should treat early.Because If you Don't pay more attention to this disease.It will develop into kidney failure.If a older people had kidney failure will be difficult to get cured.Because they will not suitable for surgery.

The majority of patients diagnosed with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) are elderly and CKD is linked with poor cardiovascular, cognitive, and disability outcomes in these people. Only a minority of these patients will progress to end stage renal disease (ESRD) while the majority will die due to cardiovascular disease. Thus, only a small number of these patients with CKD will benefit from specialist nephrologist assessment. The priority for the remainder should be cardiovascular disease prevention. We have reviewed specific issues relevant to older people to determine high-risk groups with CKD that are likely to benefit from a more intensive risk reduction intervention and to allow identification of clinically relevant renal disease.

Introduction

The prevalence of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) has been rising and is causing a global challenge as a non-communicable epidemic. In the UK, the prevalence is about 10% of the po­pulation, and in people aged over 65 years, this figure reaches 40%. Risk factors predis­posing the elderly to CKD remain unknown. However, most analyses show that the majo­rity of patients affected either with microalbu­minuria (MA) or with reduced glomerular fil­tration rate (GFR) are the elderly (> 65 years). Cardiovascular disease (CVD) has a significant impact on CKD in the elderly and affects CKD progression in this age-group. It is well known that renal function declines with age. It is still not clear whether CKD in older people is merely due to age-related changes in kidney function or a genuine kidney disease that will progress to end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Nevertheless, we already know that a minority of elderly patients with CKD will progress to ESRD and that the majority will have mor­bidity and mortality related to CVD, rather than ESRD. However, labeling older, frail pa­tients with a significant disease can be wo­rrying for them, especially if that will include asking them to travel long distances for spe­cialist secondary and tertiary services. With these above concerns, there has been evolving national and international guidelines to guide primary care physicians and non-renal specialists to refer patients according to the CKD stage. Most of these guidelines have overlooked the age stratification and they have been cri­ticized for building guidance based upon esti­mated glomerular filtration rate eGFR alone (calculated by The Modification of Diet in Renal Disease [MDRD] equation, which has not been validated in patients above the age of 70 years). Currently, there are no other more accurate methods to estimate GFR in older people with CKD. Another marker which has been found to be superior to serum creatinine in measuring GFR is cystatin C, which may have future implications for older people.
The majority of elderly patients with CKD are in stage three that could well be managed in the community by primary care physicians. The most important issue is to address the high CVD risk in this population which is confoun­ded by the co-existence of CKD. In addition, CVD is known to accelerate CKD progression in elderly subjects. The importance of early detection and prevention has been the focus of many national and international guidelines and standards frameworks. Finding a simple and feasible screening tool for early CKD detec­tion has been an attractive goal.
Microalbuminuria and low GFR are very co­mmon in individuals > 65 years, which contri­butes to the large prevalence of CKD reported in this age-group. There is evidence that MA is a strong predictor of CVD risk in the general population. It is not clear, however, whether MA in early CKD is a marker of kidney da­mage or widespread CVD including atheroscle­rosis and peripheral vascular disease, which are not uncommon in the elderly.

Search Strategy

We performed a search of Medline and Embase from January 1969 to September 2009 using keywords relating to CKD in older people and vascular and renal outcomes. Only English language articles were selected. Articles were reviewed for relevance by abstract. A manual review of citations in retrieved articles was performed in addition to the electronic lite­rature search. The final list of cited references was chosen on the basis of scientific quality and relevance to the topic of review.

Definition

Chronic Kidney Disease is defined as either a low GFR rate of less than 60 mL/min/1.73 m 2 , or normal GFR plus evidence of kidney da­mage (most commonly albuminuria, hematuria or abnormal renal ultrasound for three or more consecutive months) regardless of age.The severity of CKD is classified according to the level of GFR, regardless of the etiology, into five stages:
Stage one: kidney damage with a normal or increased GFR (> 90 mL/min/1.73 m 2 );
Stage two: kidney damage with a mild decrease in GFR (60-89 mL/min/1.73 m 2 );
Stage three: a moderate decrease in GFR (30-59 mL/min/1.73 m 2 );
Stage four: a severe decrease in GFR (15­ 29 mL/min/1.73 m 2 ) and
Stage five: kidney failure (< 15 mL/min/1.73 m 2 ).

Older people are particularly susceptible to kidney damage from age-related decline in glomerular filtration as well as kidney damage from chronic disease states such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, glomerular, and tubulo­interstitial disorders. The classification of CKD is applicable to all age-groups despite the fact that GFR gradually declines with age. Whether this decline is part of a normal ageing process is uncertain. Age-related decline in GFR is associated with impaired concentrating ability, global glomerular and vascular sclerosis and tubular atrophy with thinning of renal cortex and reduction in kidney size. These changes are considered pathological if observed in younger individuals.

Treatments

In my opinions Traditional Chinsese Medicine will ease the development of the kidney disease.Do you heard Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy,This therapy could make the herbs enter kidneys directly.And will have amazing effects in the treatment progress.

Foamy Urine and Polycystic Kidney Disease(PKD)

All of us know that just after we urinate, the urine will form some foams in the surface of urine, but these bubbles will disappear in a short time. This phenomenon is very normal.
Another case is that temporary proteinuria is also normal in some cases, such as when we eat and drink too much, participating severe sports, standing for a long time, or we are in the mood of fluctuations, etc. In these cases, the appearance of protein in urine is also normal.
However, after eliminating various objective factors, if there are a layer of tiny bubbles on the surface of urine and they are still not disappeared even after thirty minutes, this may indicate the kidneys are abnormal, so prompt inspection should be made so as to ascertain whether the kidneys are damaged and whether they are induced by PKD.
The other case with foamy urine is described as this: abundant large foams exist in the urine, or the large foams still bubble out from the deep urine when the surface foams are disappeared. The phenomenon of many bubbles emerging from urine is possibly aroused by the rise of bilirubin and protein in the urine. Likewise, complete examinations are suggested to make certain the reasons.
We can get simple conclusions that foam or bubble in urine does not mean protein, not to mention that there exits direct relations between foamy urine and kidney damages. Leave alone other things, what are the specific relations between foamy urine and PKD?
Generally, patients with PKD should go to hospital and take an inspection on urine, blood and renal functions if either the cases mentioned above case happens. If the diagnosis result proves that these foams are protein, which indicate that his or her kidney are damaged, and the most likely origin is PKD. Then you may ask how PKD induce the foamy urine. Let me give its reasons.

For the patients with PKD, during the cysts' growth progression, these cysts will oppress the kidney tissues, so they may damage the glomerulus membrane. Once the membrane filtration screen damaged, proteins and other medium and large molecular materials will leak out of the kidneys and then excrete the body. But in normal cases, these substances are not able to filtrated because kidney's powerful reabsorbtion functions when it are not damaged, so the foamy urine will not appear. Do you more information? Consult our experts without hesitation.

Treatment

Foamy Urine is a common symptom of Polycystic Kidney Disease and If you want to relieve this symptoms and at the same time restore the damaged kidneys.You can have a try with Chinese Medicine.Do you heard Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy  .This medicine could let Chinese Medicine enter kidneys through our skin.And will relieve the symptom in PKD.

How to Judge What Stage Are You In With CKD?

Stages of Chronic Kidney Disease

About chronic kidney disease (CKD)

With chronic kidney disease, the kidneys don’t usually fail all at once. Instead, kidney disease often progresses slowly over a period of years. This is good news because if CKD is caught early, medicines and lifestyle changes may help slow its progress and keep you feeling your best for as long as possible.

Five stages of chronic kidney disease

To help improve the quality of care for people with kidney disease, the National Kidney Foundation (NKF) created a guideline to help doctors identify each level of kidney disease. The NKF divided kidney disease into five stages. When the doctor knows what stage of kidney disease a person has they can provide the best care, as each stage calls for different tests and treatments.

Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR)

Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is the best measure of kidney function. The GFR is the number used to figure out a person’s stage of kidney disease. A math formula using the person’s age, race, gender and their serum creatinine is used to calculate a GFR. A doctor will order a blood test to measure the serum creatinine level. Creatinine is a waste product that comes from muscle activity. When kidneys are working well they remove creatinine from the blood. As kidney function slows, blood levels of creatinine rise.
Below shows the five stages of CKD and GFR for each stage:
Stage 1 with normal or high GFR (GFR > 90 ml/min)
Stage 2 Mild CKD (GFR = 60-89 ml/min)
Stage 3 Moderate CKD (GFR = 30-59 ml/min)
Stage 4 Severe CKD (GFR = 15-29 ml/min)
Stage 5 End Stage CKD (GFR <15 ml/min)

Dialysis or a kidney transplant needed in order to maintain health.

How to Lower these indicators?

Traditional Chinese Medicine will lower these symptoms in CKD.And I know a therapy named Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy .This therapy will lower high creatinine level and improve GFR naturally.Because this therapy could let herbs enter kidneys directly from skin.

Causes of kidney Infections in Women?

Do you know the causes of kidney infections?And in other hand do you know the causes of kidney infections in women?Follow me and learn more about the causes.


A kidney infection, also known as pyelonephritis, is a specific type of infection of the urinary tract. Pyelonephritis commonly starts as a urinary tract infection in the bladder or urethra and when left untreated, travels up into the kidneys. Symptoms include fever, back, side or groin pain, abdominal pain, frequent urination, burning sensation during urination, pus or blood in urine and strong urge to urinate. Women are more prone to urinary tract infections possibly due to the shorter urethra, which can make it easier for bacteria to reach the bladder, according to the National Kidney Foundation.

Sex

Sex is a common cause of urinary tract infections in women. A woman's urethra, which leads to the bladder, is only a short distance from the vaginal opening that sits very close to the rectum. The close proximity from the rectum to the vagina can often cause bacteria to enter the vagina during sex, according to FamilyDoctor.org. The University of Maryland Medical Center explains that frequent or recent sexual activity is the most common risk factor for a urinary tract infection in women and that women having sex for the first time or who suddenly begin to have sex frequently are commonly at risk for a bladder infection, referred to as honeymoon cystitis. Certain types of sexual positions, such as the woman on top, may increase the chance of a woman developing a UTI as well. Physicians will commonly treat the infection with antibiotics that can prevent it from becoming a more serious kidney infection.

Pregnancy

It is common for women to experience urinary tract infections during pregnancy. The American Pregnancy Association explains that women are at an increased risk for UTIs from week six to 24 of their pregnancies. UTIs commonly occur during pregnancy due to the changes to the urinary tract. A woman’s uterus sits directly on top of her bladder. As the uterus grows, the increased pressure can often cause blockages, which prevent urine from leaving the bladder, leading to an increase in infections. If a urinary tract infection goes untreated, it may lead to pyelonephritis. Untreated pyelonephritis can lead to early labor and low birth weight babies. Physicians can safely treat a urinary tract infection with antibiotics during pregnancy.

Menopause

The risk for developing urinary tract infections increases after menopause. The American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists warn that when a woman goes through menopause, her level of estrogen decreases. This decrease in estrogen causes the walls of the urinary tract to thin, making it harder to resist infection. Estrogen depletion may also reduce certain immune factors that help the vagina block E. Coli from adhering to vaginal cells, according to the University of Maryland Medical Center. Estrogen creams can help decrease the risks of a urinary tract infection.

Treatment

Herbs could remove Infections naturally .You could learn more about the therapy.Named Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy.This therapy could let Herb Medicine enter the kidneys directly.And don't have any uncomfortable feeling in the treatment progression.

Chinese Herbal Medicine that lowers Creatinine level

In azotemia one of the nitrogenous waste products that accumulate in the blood is creatinine. Creatinine is chemical waste product of muscle metabolism. High levels of this substance in the blood may be an indicator of malfunctioning kidney, because it is the one responsible in the elimination of this substance. When high levels of creatinine appear on a blood test, pay your physician a visit to determine the underlying cause and the appropriate treatment. Medications may be prescribed by your physician. Possible conjunctive therapy may include certain herbs that have been associated with lowering creatinine levels, including nettles, chamomile, cinnamon, Siberian ginseng, dandelion root, and salvia.
Stinging Nettle Seed
It has been proved that the extract of stinging nettle seed has significant effects on lowering creatinine level on the blood and the effects is extended even when you stopped taking the herb. Nettles are contraindicated to individuals in blood-thinning and high blood pressure medication therapy.

Chamomile

Chamomile is another herb that may help lower creatinine levels in the body because it has high levels of antioxidants. According to research they found out low levels of creatinine in individuals drinking chamomile tea. This benefit lasted up to two weeks after treatment. The chamomile content in tea is generally considered safe, but you need to consult with your doctor before taking larger amounts.

Cinnamon

Cinnamon is a very common household spice that helps regulate blood sugar. Aside for being use in diabetics it has also been used to treat kidney problems. Cinnamon helps to improve the filtration process and to strengthen weak kidneys and thus increases the excretion of creatinine in patients experiencing azotemia.
Siberian Ginseng
Siberian Ginseng is often used in combination with cinnamon to revitalize the kidneys and to lower creatinine levels in patients with azotemia. It is known to be very helpful in treating kidney disorders by improving the blood perfusion to the kidneys.

Dandelion Root

Dandelion root is known as an herbal diuretic. Diuretics are use to increase urine output especially in patient experiencing anuria (low urine output). This increases the output of the kidneys and will lower the amount of creatinine in the body by increasing the excretion of the nitrogenous waste at a faster rate.
Salvia
Researchers have used salvia on patients who were on dialysis and found that it increased the rate of which creatinine was filtered and excreted from the body. They also found out that it promotes blood circulation to the renal system as well.

Conclusion

A high creatinine level is not a problem itself but may be a symptom of an underlying medical problem. If the azotemia is only cause by high protein diet you can use these herbal medicines alone but if it is associated with other severe conditions it is important that you consult a physician for proper treatment. These herbal treatments are suggested to help lower the creatinine levels in the body and are not a sole cure to reverse severe kidney failure. Though herbs are natural and effective on lowering creatinine level, they are not cure for azotemia caused by advanced renal damages like end stage renal failure, more medical therapies should be combined because these herbal medicine serve only as a adjunct therapy to proper medications.

Do you heard Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy? This therapy could let these herbs enter kidneys through skin.And have any pain in the treatment progress.
You just need to lie down in the bed for 40 minutes.

Complications and Prognosis of Chronic Renal Failure

Chronic Renal Failure is more serious than other kind kidney diseases.So we should learn more about this disease.First,let me tell you some knowledges about complications and prognosis of kidney failure first.

Complications

Anaemia: left ventricular hypertrophy, fatigue, impaired cognitive functioning.
Coagulopathy.
Hypertension: left ventricular hypertrophy, heart failure, stroke, CVD.
Calcium phosphate loading: cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease, arthropathy, soft tissue calcification.
Renal osteodystrophy: disorders of calcium, phosphorus and bone, most commonly osteitis fibrosa cystica.
Bone changes of secondary hyperparathyroidism: bone pain and fractures.
Neurological: uraemic encephalopathy, neuropathy including peripheral neuropathy.
Dialysis amyloid: bone pain, arthropathy, carpal tunnel syndrome.
Fluid overload: pulmonary oedema, hypertension
Malnutrition: increased morbidity and mortality, infections, poor wound healing.

Glucose intolerance due to peripheral insulin resistance.

Prognosis

Early diagnosis, regular monitoring and early treatment can prevent development and slow disease progression, reduce complications and the risk of cardiovascular disease, and improve survival and quality of life.[1]
Much of the damage caused by CKD occurs early, when interventions may be much more effective.
Rapidly progressive diseases can lead to kidney failure within months. However, most diseases evolve over decades and some patients do not progress during many years of follow-up.
Patients on chronic dialysis have a high incidence of morbidity and mortality. Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) who undergo renal transplantation survive longer than those on chronic dialysis.

CVD is the most common cause of death in patients with CKD. Cardiovascular mortality is doubled in patients with a GFR below 70 ml/minute.

Treatment

Do you heard Blood Pollution Therapy?Unhealthy blood is the chief culprit of the damage to renal tissues and root cause of lingering kidney disease. If the blood in the body is heavily contaminated, the organs and tissues where the blood flows through will be damaged. After we find the cause of kidney damage- the unhealthy blood, Clear Blood Pollution Therapy is invented to treat kidney disease fundamentally.

How Long Can You Live With Kidney Failure ?

Kidney Failure  is a condition where kidneys stop working well enough.And every patients with kidney failure will care how long can they live with kidney failure.

How is Kidney Disease Stage 3 Different from Kidney Disease Stage 4?

Here is basic information about the difference between stage 3 and stage 4 of kidney disease:
The stage 4 kidney disease is characterized by a failure of more than 70% of the kidney’s functions. Patients who have reached this stage are usually advised to get ready for renal replacement therapy that involves kidney transplant and dialysis.
A patient who is at 3rd stage kidney disease is not likely to reach thechronic kidney disease stage 4 phase if he implements appropriate lifestyle changes and if active treatments are employed.
The stage 3 chronic kidney failure is only characterized by a moderate decline of kidney functions. If a patient who is at stage 3 does not take the necessary measure, it is easy to slide down to the stage four kidney disease.

How Many More Years to Live?

Kidney failure undergoes 5 stages. Every stage is correspondent with a level of the so-called glomerular filtration rate (GFR). The lower the level of GFR is, the more advanced is the stage of renal failure.
For example, the GFR for stage 2 is within the range 60 to 89 ml/min while for stage 3, the GFR is within the range of 30 to 59. At a GFR level that’s higher than 50, the kidneys are still normally functioning and can support the physiological needs of the body.
Life expectancy computations are usually done for fourth stage cases, although anyone can do the computation for as long as the creatinine count of a person is available. Just use online GFR calculators if you are interested. The National Kidney Institute has one of such online calculators.

If you want to estimate stage-3-kidney-disease life expectancy for a patient who’s suffering from stage 3 of the disease, just input in the calculator the person’s age, sex, body size, creatinine count, and race. Or just ask your doctor to do the computation for you.

Treatments

If you could find a suitable treatments I believe kidney failure can be reserved .Do you heard Top Seven TCM Therapies? After years of research and experience accumulation, Shijiazhuang Nephropathy Hospital experienced several stages of practical study, including taking Chinese medicine orally, hot compress with Chinese medicine, bath with Chinese medicine, cycle therapy with Chinese medicine, etc, and obtained a lot of valuable experience in TCM therapy. Gradually, we selected seven TCM therapies from numerous treatments to combine them organically, and formed a set of stereoscopic therapy of TCM.

The seven TCM stereoscopic therapies include: cycle therapy, hot compress therapy, foot bath therapy, full bath therapy, enema therapy, Oral Chinese Medicine Therapy, moxibustion therapy.
Each of seven therapies has its own disadvantages and forms the system by itself. Related and complemented to each other, they form an organic stereoscopic system of therapy.

High Serum Creatinine in Diabetic Nephropathy Patients

If I am a Diabetic Kidney Disease patients with high serum creatinine whether I am dangerous?I think most Diabetic Nephropathy Patients cares this problem. So Let us Know some knowledge about high serum creatinine in Diabetic Nephropathy Patients.
For Diabetics, high serum creatinine indicates more than half of your kidney function has been lost. Why?Our kidneys have strong compensated abilities. At initial time, when a small part of renal intrinsic cells are damaged, the remaining normal kidney units can work in a compensated way to excrete waste products, including serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen. Only when half of your kidney function are severely impaired, will high serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen arise. So, high serum creatinine is a signal that your kidneys are severely injured. If treatment is not adopted, more and more kidney units will get lost, which is accompanied by severer external manifestations and complications in diabetics.
What′s dangerous is actually systemic disorder that comes along with high serum creatinine. As kidney function drops severely, normal kidney functions of filtrating blood, excreting waste product, secreting hormones and regulating acid-base are all no longer be performed properly, which is rather annoying and can be life-threatening. Severe complications that comes together with high serum creatinine mainly include:

1. Erythrocyte Imbalance

When kidneys are severely injured, normal erythrocyte balance is turned into a mass, causing metabolic disorders of sodium, potassium or phosphorus inside the body. Sodium retention can cause symptoms such as swelling, high blood pressure and even short beath. The severe result of high blood potassium is sudden cardiac arrest, while low potassium(as a result of vomiting, diuretics and renal tubule damage) can present symptoms such as weakness, sleepiness and abdominal distension and so on.
2. As wastes(including urea nitrogen and serum creatinine) pile up in the kidneys, loss of appetite, lethargy and poor appetite become apparent.
3. Metabolic acidosis or increased acidity of the body, which is due to the inability to manufacture bicarbonate, will alter enzyme and oxygen metabolism, causing organ failure.
Besides the above, for Diabetics with high serum creatinine level, threatens  can also com from complications of Diabetes and dialysis. As Diabetes have low immunity and low resistance to bacteria, even a slight cold can be life threatening.

Early Symptoms and Treatment of Chronic Renal Failure

Do you want to know some early symptoms of kidney failure?I think it is very possible for everyone that diagnosed with kidney disease.And If you know these symptoms you could take measure before it becomes kidney failure.

In the body the kidneys maintain the correct balance of fluid, electrolytes, and waste products. Early symptoms of chronic renal failure are vague because the disease occurs slowly. The National Kidney Foundation reports 26 million American adults have CRF; many more are in the early stages and do not know it.

Decreased Glomerular Filtration Rate

Changes in lab work are the first symptoms noted in early CRF. Glomerular filtration rate, or GFR, is the amount of blood your kidneys are able to filter in one minute. Normal healthy kidneys should filter at least 90 milliliters of blood per minute. Kidney function is determined based on a person's GFR.
Early in CRF, the GFR remains stable or diminished only very slightly. According to Scott and White hospital people typically do not have symptoms until the GFR is significantly decreased. Even with a GFR between 60 and 89 mL/min, symptoms will be mild, if any.

Protein in The Urine

Diminished renal reserve is the term used for the early changes taking place in kidney function. The only clinical finding is protein in the urine, with a normal GFR and when patients have no symptoms. Unless a random urinalysis is performed, this symptom will be overlooked.
General Feeling of Illness
Donna D. Ignatavicius, MS RN, and M. Linda Workman, Ph.D, authors of "Medical-Surgical Nursing: Critical Thinking for Collaborative Care", explain that patients with early symptoms of chronic renal failure may complain of a general feeling of illness. Lack of energy and fatigue are often reported without any identifiable cause.

Headache

Headache may be present and is another vague symptom. Often attributed to other problems such as muscle tension, stress, sinus congestion or migraines, complaints of headache will go unrecognized until other more serious symptoms present themselves. For example, noticeable fluid retention and high blood pressure accompanying headache may point a health care practitioner in the right direction to assess for diminished kidney function.

Decreased Appetite

A decreased appetite is one of the early symptoms of chronic renal failure. This occurs because of the slowly increasing level of nitrogenous wastes in the body due to the kidney's inability to properly remove waste products from the blood. This vague symptom can go on for quite some time before becoming problematic.

Nausea

Just like a decreased appetite, this symptom is often attributed to other problems like fatigue, stress or a mild illness. Because the early symptoms of chronic renal failure are so vague, they are often downplayed.

Dry Itchy Skin

As waste products build up in the body, dry itchy skin develops. People will often try lotion to help alleviate the problem. Only when the symptoms become severe will patients typically seek medical care.

Treatments

If you want to reverse this disease naturally.In my opinion Traditional Chinese Medicine is a good choice.Do you heard Blood Pollution Therapy? Do you know the root cause of kidney disease?Many experts of kidney disease think The polluted blood is the root cause of kidney disease.So they came up with the Blood Pollution Therapy.

Is There Any Hope for Recovery If I Have stage 3 Kidney Disease Stage 3?

Stage 3 kidney disease is there any hope for recovery?I think the answer is yes,because I think If you don't lose hope.And look for the right therapy actively.

Defining Chronic Kidney Disease Stage III

Chronic kidney disease stage 3 is a moderate type of kidney disease because the decline in the kidney function does not render the kidneys useless. The kidneys at this stage can still perform the following functions:
cleansing the blood of excess water and waste materials
producing calcitriol and erythropoietin
maintaining the body’s internal equilibrium of minerals and water (minerals are sulfate, magnesium, phosphorus, calcium, chloride, potassium and sodium)
Still the kidneys’ functions at stage 3 may not be stable because the filtration rate has been considerably reduced. The range of glomerular filtration rate (GRF) at stage 3 is 30 – 59 ml/min. For as long as the GRF does not go below 50, the kidneys can still compensate for the physiological needs of body.

Stage III Kidney Disease Symptoms

In any case, it is during stage 3 that some or all symptoms of kidney disease appear. The symptoms are the following:
Weakness or fatigue – The ability of the kidneys to produce erythropoietin is weakened. This, in turn, cause reduction in the number of red blood cells being produced, which is the main cause of anemia. Anemic persons experience fatigue.

High blood pressure – The kidneys have an important role to play in maintaining right levels of blood pressure. Without the proper kidney functioning, hypertension can ensue.

Computation of Life Expectancy

One of the things that a kidney patient may get interested in is the chance to estimate their life expectancy. For stage three kidney patients, this may not be at all necessary because stage three cases, with proper intervention and medical care, are still reversible.
But if you are really interested how the estimation process goes, do the following steps:
First, go to a clinic or a medical laboratory to have your blood checked for creatinine level. Wait for the result and get it.
Go online and visit a medical website that has such a tool that computes life expectancy for kidney patients. Most websites call these tools life expectancy calculators for kidney patients.

Set the online calculator to stage 3 setting. Input your age, race, body weight, creatinine level and sex in the designated boxes. The figure that will appear is the maximum age for you. Keep in mind that this figure is just an average. Don’t let that figure affect whatever your future plans are.

Treatment for stage 3 kidney disease

In addition to the traditional treatment way.I know some instead therapies.

Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy

this therapy will let the Traditional Chinese Medicine into your kidneys through skin.And It will not make the uncomfortable feel in treatment process like other therapy.what patients need to do is to lie on the bed for 40 minutes.

Blood Pollution Therapy

blood pollution therapy focuses on treating patients’ polluted blood before reversing their kidney damage. As a great breakthrough for treating various kidney disease in this year, this therapy shows dramatically therapeutic effect.

Life Expectancy of Stage 4 Kidney Failure patients in Treatment

Stage 4 kidney failure is a important stage for treat.Do you want to know the life expectancy of stage 4 kidney failure?And what elements will effect the life expectancy of stage 4 kidney failure?

A lot of people are intrigued about stage 4 kidney disease life expectancy. After all, as the second most advanced form of this disease, it cannot be avoided that a certain amount of fear is associated with its presence. But really, if you do everything it takes to reverse the adverse effects of advanced kidney disease, you can dramatically increase your life expectancy. What are the things you’ll need to know about stage 4 kidney disease, how it affects your life expectancy, and how you can potentially extend your life if you’re affected by it.

What Is Stage 4 Kidney Disease?

Technically speaking, this is the 4th level of progression for kidney disease. As the second most advanced form of kidney disease, it closely borders with potentially imminent kidney failure. The primary gauge of assigning CKD stages is the glomerular filtration rate or GFR. For stage 4 patients, the GFR is measured at 15 to 30 ml/minute. If that’s your average filtration rate for the past 3 months, then you are definitely positive for stage 4 kidney disease.
The Symptoms And How It Affects Stage 4 Kidney Disease Life Expectancy
There are different symptoms associated with this type of kidney disease. One of the most prominent ones is called uremia. This term is almost always used interchangeably with uricemia, as it denotes the accumulation of urea and other waste products that are otherwise excreted from the urine. That said, the increased amounts of these waste substances can affect the person’s other organs such as the heart, and can drastically affect one’s life expectancy. In fact, sometimes the complications can even kill you quicker than the kidney problem itself. Kidney pain is also more pronounced, and it may denote something beyond the decline of kidney efficiency. It can reflect other renal problems such as infections and/or polycystic kidney disease. When left unchecked, it can get you into deep trouble.

Stage 4 Kidney Disease Life Expectancy In Relation To Treatments

Just like with the symptoms, how one goes about with the treatment process can have a huge say if the patient will live long or not. For this level of illness, there are different forms of treatment available. There is the use of specific medications combined with specialized diets that emphasizes and reduces specific nutrients. This is known to be very effective in increasing the life expectancy of patients, but it’s not all that effective if the kidney damage is found to be extensive. If there’s severe damage to the kidneys, Chinese Medicine will solve these problem in root.
and I will introduce you a therapy.Named Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy. This therapy will let medicine into body through skin.And reach unimaginable efficiency.

Stage 4 CKD Need Not Be A Death Sentence

Dealing with chronic kidney disease is surely a complicated task. But with the right course of treatment, one can survive it. It’s relieving to know that there are different ways to increase stage 4 kidney disease life expectancy.
