Expert answers

Hello friend how are you? This is Kitty from Kidney Disease Hospital in China. We had a conversation about your kidney problem on our website before.
You know the protein's main function in the blood is to stabilize the pressure there, enabling the water to stay in the blood. If the protein get lost, the pressure will reduce, and the water will deviate from the blood but enter the space between the tissue, causing the swelling. Too much protein get lost from the blood will inevitably thicken the density of the blood, and that contributes the potential risk for the thrombus.
Meanwhile, the protein leakage reflects the damage to the filtration membrane of the kidney. Too much protein squeezing through the membrane will accelerate the decline of the kidney function at a rather high speed. Actually lots of kidney disease can develop at a stable speed, and through the reasonable treatment, it can get a fine recovery. Just because of the acute factors, we lose lots of treatment opportunity, and the disease develops to kidney failure finally.
China is the home of Chinese medicine. You know China is rather famous for the Chinese herb remedy with little side effects and the Chinese herb medicine has been proved to be with great effectiveness in improving the blood circulation inner the kidney and protecting the kidney function.
