The Overview of Diabetic Kidney Disease - Symptoms, Complications and treatment of Diabetic Nephropathy

Diabetic Kidney Disease is easy to lead to kidney failure . So we should pay more attention to this kind of kidney disease in daily life . And if you are the families of one Diabetic Kidney Disease patients you should care the diet and other factors may influence one's disease . The following content will introduce to you about the symptoms and treatment of Diabetic Nephropathy .

What are the symptoms of diabetic kidney disease?

You are unlikely to have symptoms with early diabetic kidney disease - for example, if you just have microalbuminuria (defined above). Symptoms tend to develop when the kidney disease progresses. The symptoms at first tend to be vague and nonspecific, such as feeling tired, having less energy than usual, and just not feeling well. With more severe kidney disease, symptoms that may develop include:
Difficulty thinking clearly
A poor appetite
Weight loss
Dry, itchy skin
Muscle cramps
Fluid retention which causes swollen feet and ankles
Puffiness around the eyes
Needing to pass urine more often than usual
Being pale due to anaemia
Feeling sick
As the kidney function declines then various other problems may develop. For example, anaemia and an imbalance of calcium, phosphate and other chemicals in the bloodstream. These can cause various symptoms, such as tiredness due to anaemia, and bone thinning or fractures due to calcium and phosphate imbalance. End-stage renal failure is eventually fatal unless treated.

What increases the risk of developing diabetic kidney disease?

All people with diabetes have a risk of developing diabetic kidney disease. However, a large research trial showed that there are certain factors that increase the risk of developing this condition. These are:
A poor control of your blood sugar (glucose) levels. (The greater your HbA1c level, the greater your risk.)
The length of time you have had diabetes.
The more overweight you become.
Having high blood pressure. The higher your blood pressure, the greater your risk.
If you are male.
This means that having a good control of your blood glucose level, keeping your weight in check and treating high blood pressure will reduce your risk of developing diabetic kidney disease.
If you have early diabetic kidney disease (microalbuminuria), the risk that the disease will become worse is increased with:
The poorer the control of blood sugar levels. (The greater your HbA1c level, the greater your risk.)
Having high blood pressure. The higher your blood pressure, the greater your risk.
Smoking.

What are the possible complications?

End-stage kidney failure
In people with proteinuria (described above), end-stage kidney failure develops in approximately 8 in 100 people after 10 years. If this occurs then you would need kidney dialysis or a kidney transplant.
Cardiovascular diseases
All people with diabetes have an increased risk of developing cardiovascular diseases, such as heart disease, stroke and peripheral vascular disease. If you have diabetes and diabetic kidney disease, then your risk of developing cardiovascular diseases is increased further. The worse the kidney disease, the further increased the risk. This is why reducing any other cardiovascular risk factors is so important if you have diabetic kidney disease (see below).
High blood pressure
Kidney disease has a tendency to increase blood pressure. In addition, increased blood pressure has a tendency to make kidney disease worse. Treatment of high blood pressure is one of the main treatments of diabetic kidney disease .

What is the treatment for diabetic kidney disease?

Treatments that may be advised are discussed below.
Treatments aim to:
Prevent or delay the disease progressing to kidney failure. In particular, if you have early diabetic kidney disease (microalbuminuria) it does not always progress to the proteinuria phase of the disease.
Reduce the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases such as heart disease and stroke.
Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is one of efficient therapy for kidney disease patients .This therapy can soften blood-fat blood vessels and restore the normal blood circulation . And the Chinese herbs can permeate one's kidneys directly through a western . It can said that this therapy is one of innovative therapy . Because this therapy combined Chinese herbs with Western device .

Causes and Treatments of Diabetic Kidney Disease

Diabetic Kidney Disease is one of the main cause of Kidney Failure .Because of the development of long-term of Diabetes . The risk of lead to Kidney Disease will higher and higher . The following content will tell you What is Diabetic Kidney Disease , the cause and the treatment of Diabetic Nephropathy .

What is diabetic kidney disease?

Diabetic kidney disease (diabetic nephropathy) is a complication that occurs in some people with diabetes. In this condition the filters of the kidneys, the glomeruli, become damaged. Because of this the kidneys 'leak' abnormal amounts of protein from the blood into the urine. The main protein that leaks out from the damaged kidneys is called albumin. In normal healthy kidneys only a tiny amount of albumin is found in the urine. A raised level of albumin in the urine is the typical first sign that the kidneys have become damaged by diabetes.
Diabetic kidney disease is divided into two main categories, depending on how much albumin is lost through the kidneys:
Microalbuminuria. This is when the amount of albumin that leaks into the urine is between 30 and 300 mg per day. It is sometimes called incipient nephropathy.
Proteinuria. This is when the amount of albumin that leaks into the urine is more than 300 mg per day. It is sometimes called macroalbuminuria or overt nephropathy.

How does diabetic kidney disease develop and progress?

A raised blood sugar (glucose) level that occurs in people with diabetes can cause a rise in the level of some chemicals within the kidney. These chemicals tend to make the glomeruli more 'leaky' which then allows albumin to leak into the urine. In addition, the raised blood glucose level may cause some proteins in the glomeruli to link together. These 'cross-linked' proteins can trigger a localised scarring process. This scarring process in the glomeruli is called glomerulosclerosis. It usually takes several years for glomerulosclerosis to develop and it only happens in some people with diabetes.
As the condition becomes worse, scarred tissue (glomerulosclerosis) gradually replaces healthy kidney tissue. As a result, the kidneys become less and less able to do their job of filtering the blood. This gradual 'failing' of the kidneys may gradually progress to what is known as end-stage kidney failure.
Microalbuminuria - where the amount of albumin that leaks into the urine is between 30 and 300 mg per day - is usually the first sign that diabetic kidney disease has developed. Over months or years, microalbuminuria may go away (especially if treated - see below), persist at about the same level, or progress to proteinuria.

Proteinuria - where the amount of albumin that leaks into the urine is more than 300 mg per day - is irreversible. If you develop proteinuria it usually marks the beginning of a gradual decline in kidney function towards end-stage kidney failure at some time in the future.

High Blood Pressure and Kidney Disease

If one person has a long term of high blood pressure . The person may occur Kidney disease . The following content will tell you the main reason Why High blood Pressure can cause Kidney Disease . Follow me and find out the efficient therapy of Hypertensive Nephropathy .

In most common cases, the specific cause of high blood pressure is unknown. In some cases, high blood pressure can be caused by kidney problems. The kidneys produce an enzyme called renin that helps control blood pressure. If the kidneys are not working as they should, they may release too much renin, which raises blood pressure. High blood pressure can also be caused by abnormalities in the main blood vessel leaving the heart, sleep apnea or narrowing arteries. In women, birth control pills, as well as hormones taken after menopause, can cause high blood pressure. High blood pressure can also be genetic.

How does high blood pressure hurt your kidneys?

High blood pressure makes your heart work harder. It can also damage blood vessels throughout your body. High blood pressure is especially harmful to the tiny blood vessels in your body, such as the ones in your kidneys. If the blood vessels in your kidneys are damaged, your kidneys may not effectively remove wastes and extra fluid from your body. The extra fluid in your blood vessels may then raise your blood pressure even more.
High blood pressure is the second leading causes of kidney failure, also called end stage renal disease (ESRD), in the U.S. People with kidney failure must either receive a kidney transplant or go on dialysis. High blood pressure causes more than 25,000 new cases of kidney failure in the United States each year according to the National Kidney and Urologic Diseases Information Clearinghouse (NKUDIC).

How can I prevent high blood pressure from damaging my kidneys?

The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) recommends that people with kidney disease use whatever therapy is necessary, including lifestyle changes and medicine, to keep their blood pressure at or below 130/80.

Also, if your kidneys are not working properly, your doctor may find protein in your urine. This means that your kidneys are filtering out the protein that you need for healthy growth of the body as waste. If you have a lot of protein in your urine, it is recommended that your blood pressure be lowered to a maximum of 125/75.

Treatment for Renal Parenchymal Disease

Do you want to know more about Renal Parenchymal Disease . The following Content will tell you about the cause and symptoms and Treatments of Renal Parenchymal Disease .

Causes

Patients typically inherit this disease. Hormones and microbes found in the blood identify the disease. High blood pressure and diabetes can also cause this disease.

Identification

Parenchymal refers to the location of the disease-the kidneys.The disease causes scarring and kidneys lose their function whenever scar tissue forms. Often this scarring can lead to kidney failure.

Symptoms

Symptoms of kidney disease include blood in the urine, abnormal blood tests, high blood pressure, swelling in the feet and lower legs, arms, or face, and symptoms of urinary tract infection. Urinary tract infections do not usually mean kidney disease exists, but a patient should contact his physician. Loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, sleepiness, itching, twitching, and a metallic taste in the mouth indicate chronic kidney disease.

Diagnosis

Doctors use abdominal ultrasounds to find cysts, a urine analysis and a cystic fluid exam. Elevated blood urea nitrogen concentration and serum creatinine concentrations confirm whether a patient who has had an ultrasound showing cysts has parenchymal kidney disease.

Treatment for Kidney Failure

The traditional therapy is dialysis or Kidney Transplant to treat this kidney disease. And there are many alternative therapy like Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy this therapy can treat one's kidney disease from root . In other word this therapy once take effect there will have a small risk of recurrence .

Swollen Kidney Caused by Polycystic Kidney Disease - PKD Treatment

PKD is easy to cause Swollen Kidney . Once kidney disease patients have this symptom , they will feel very painful .So many PKD patients want to know the therapy how to treat the swollen kidney caused by PKD .Now through the following content to know more about the treatment of PKD .

Polycystic kidney disease is a kind of genetic hereditary renal disease that causes cysts to grow on the kidneys. Due to various stimulations, renal tubular epithelial cells begin to proliferate, which result in the formation of the cysts. Without prompt and right treatment, the cysts become large and large, and then the cysts lead to the blockage in the renal tubules which in return results in a buildup of fluid and eventually, infection. In other words, the kidney becomes swollen as a result of failure in normal drainage of urine from the kidney to the bladder.

In order to alleviate the swollen kidney of the polycystic kidney disease patients, we should repair the diseased or damaged renal tubular epithelial cells other than removing the cysts only. What’s more, the growth of the cysts should also be restrained. As the repairing of the diseased or damaged renal inherent cells, the renal function could get greatly improved. And then swollen kidney would gradually become less until disappear.

Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is one of efficient therapy for kidney disease patients . This therapy can make the Chinese herbs enter one's kidneys directly in virtual of a device . So the Chinese herbs can take effect quickly .

What Should I Do If Creatinine Level Is High in PKD

High Creatinine level can show the kidney damage degree . And many person with kidney disease are bothered by high creatinine level .The following content will introduce you some knowledge about high creatinine level .And in the following content you can also find out some knowledge aobut kidney disease .

Early stage of PKD will not influence person's normal life . And if the exacerbation ,the patients will occur some complicate . And the patients' life quality will lower and lower .Now let us know the introduce of creatinine level and the therapy of high creatinine level .

First, we want to make clear that creatinine is an indicator of kidney patient’s kidney function, to be more exactly, glomerular filtration rate. However, creatinine usually increases only after kidney patient’s kidney function declines to below 25% because kidneys have strong compensatory ability. As we all know, normally, the kidneys can filter out the toxin including creatinine and maintain toxin level below normal range. When there is kidney damage to certain degree, the kidneys fail to maintain the toxin in the normal range, as a result, creatinine increases.
Above the explanation, we can know that when creatinine increases, it implies that the kidney function has declined to less than 25%. If we want to lower down the creatinine level, the basic way is to improve the kidney function. Only when the kidney function is improved can we bring the creatinine level down. Then it comes to the other questions: how to improve kidney function?
Regarding this question, it is necessary for us to know how does the kidney function decrease?
Actually, it is a kind of fibrosis process. Due to various causes, the kidney endothelial cells started to be damaged and loss its function, as a result, cytokine, growth factors, tumor necrosis factors are attracted to those parts, duly leading to infiltration of inflammatory factors. Consequently, the a series of pathological changes happen and further activate renal fibrosis process. With time going by, more and more renal nephrons are damaged and kidney function declines gradually.

So, the method to improve kidney function should focus on stopping and reversing the renal fibrosis process. Actually, at present, there isn’t any medicine in western medical system concentrating on stopping and reversing the renal fibrosis, but the traditional Chinese medicine is focusing on this process. And western medicine is good at controlling the symptoms so as to slow down the advancing of this process. And we combine both western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine together, making use of the advantages of both to improve the kidney function, which is the right method to bring down creatinine.

Treatments of High Creatinine Level

Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is a famous therapy in the world . Because of it good efficient and no side-effect .

Diabetic Nephropathy Patients Diet

It is well- known that the Diet of Diabetic Nephropathy patients is very important . So the patients of Diabetic Nephropathy should know the knowledge what food they can eat, and what food the can't eat . Now let's begin to know the knowledge of Diabetic Nephropathy Patients Diet .
Cucumber is rich in vitamin and mineral substances and has medical effects. Fresh cucumber can prevent carbohydrates from transforming into fat. So, eating cucumbers help lose weight. Eating frequently can help patients with the disease of diabetes keep blood pressure stable, and also lower blood sugar, because cucumber is cool in nature and bad for spleen and stomach. It also has the effect of removing edema. However, it is recommended to peel it before we eat to avoid residual pesticide.
Red little bean: It is a kind of red bean, which is effective in reducing fever, promoting urination, expelling the toxic substance and festering pus. It contains various kinds of Vitamins and is good for patients.
Tomatoes: Tomatoes are rich in vitamin C and lycopene, which can enhance the body′s immunity; moreover, this food contains less sodium, so it is beneficial to patients with the disease of Nephrotic Syndrome.
Soybeans: it is effective in relieving summer heat, lowering blood pressure and improving eyesight, promoting urination and alleviating swelling. Soybeans are rich in vitamin C, which are good for the Diabetic Nephropathy Patient to eat.

As for the diet of kidney disease patients, our Funeng Therapy will also pay much attention.
