Stem cell therapy hope for kidney transplant patients and Kidney Failure Patients

The following content will introduce to you the therapy of Stem Cell Therapy . If you want to know more detail information about this therapy . Read the following content please .

Scientists have found a new method of suppressing the automatic rejection of donated kidneys in transplant patients, by using the donor's stem cells. In a small trial carried out at Stanford University, California, eight out of 12 patients were able to stop taking anti-rejection drugs, which are usually a lifelong necessity, following this treatment.
Soon after their transplants, each of the patients in the study underwent a procedure where their lymph nodes, spleen and thymus were given a dose of radiation to kill some of their immune system's white blood cells. This was in addition to the patient taking the standard course of two anti-rejection drugs.
About ten days after the radiation treatment, the patient was injected with stem cells from the donor's blood. They then differentiate into white blood cells and become part of the recipient's immune system, and will not attack the new kidney. If the stem cells mix favourably with the patient's own cells, the patient can be taken off the first anti-rejection drug after a month, and the second after six months.
'Those eight that we've taken off the drugs, they've had no rejection, no evidence of the kidney being damaged', said Dr Samuel Strober, the immunologist who is leading the study, which was published in the New England Journal of Medicine.
All of the eight patients treated successfully have now been off the immunosuppressant drugs completely for over a year, including one for over three years. Dr Strober, explained the other four have 'failed to meet our strict drug withdrawal criteria', but have suffered no side effects from the treatment.
Currently, all transplant patients need the drug course to prevent their body from rejecting the donor organ. This is the case even if the donor is a perfect match in terms of surface markers – called HLA (human leukocyte antigen) antigen – which reduces the risk of the donated kidney being rejected. However, they can pose problems in the long-term.
'While they help ward off rejection of the new organ by the patient's own immune system, these drugs carry their own risk of side effects, such as high blood pressure, diabetes and cancer', said Dr Strober.
All the patients in this on-going clinical trial are perfect matches with their donors, but the work is now being expanded to include patients with mismatched donors, where only 50 percent of their HLA antigens match the patient's.
'Our preclinical lab results show that we can use mismatched recipients as well as matched, and that gives us confidence to move ahead', added Dr Strober.

However, Dr Flavio Vincenti, a kidney transplant expert at the University of California, San Francisco, cautioned against over-optimism. He said it was not known whether the delicate balance of the immune system can be maintained in the long-term. 'I would caution patients and physicians that this gives us maybe an idea on a mechanism of action, but from a practical point of view, it will have very limited application', Dr Vincenti told the San Francisco Chronicle.

This therapy have a high risk in the treatment progress . Many doctor will suggestion you don't adopt this therapy .You can adopt Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy to instead this therapy .Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy have be  proved can treat one's kidney disease efficient .

Right Diet After Dialysis - Kidney Disease Diet

Right Diet is very important for Dialysis patients . The following content will give you some suggestions about diet after dialysis . Dialysis will cause many complications . The following content also include some content about efficient therapy for kidney disease .

While you are suffering from kidney stones, the best way to remain fit and healthy is to have an actual kidney "rock" diet. As the name suggests, this diet is specifically designed for the patients that are suffering from kidney stones. This diet won't just protect you from further kidney health problems; it will also improve the condition. To begin with, the stones in the kidney happen because of the some calcification inside the urinary system. The purpose of this diet is to retain a balance of minerals, fluids and electrolytes in patients who are on kidney dialysis.
Along with the dialysis, a proper intake of kidney dialysis diet is also important because dialysis cannot remove and filter all wastes in the body on its own. It is important to have a proper diet plan to aid your body completely and managing the collected waste products.
A renal dialysis diet is basically consists of:
Iron
It is often seen that the patients from kidney failure usually suffer from anemia and the major cause of anemia is low level of iron, hence, in order to keep yourself healthy, it is important to include regular intake of iron in your diet.
Calcium and Phosphate
Calcium and phosphate affect the health of the bones to a large extent. When a person suffers from kidney stones, the calcium level in the body tends to be too low and the level of the phosphate too high. While a patient is going through kidney treatments, it tends to raise blood calcium levels and lower the level of phosphate in the body. To save yourself from further issues, it is important to moderate the phosphate level of your diet.
Potassium
High level of potassium levels in the blood can harm the heart and stop the heart beating and low levels of potassium can cause arrhythmias. While you are on renal dialysis diet, it is important for you to avoid high-potassium foods.
Protein
A nutrient that helps body muscles to repair itself, Protein helps the body to fight infection. When you are on a kidney dialysis diet, it is important for you to include meat, dairy products, eggs, fish and vegetables such as beans, lentils and beans in your daily diet.

Apart from the above mentioned it is important for the patient to consult the dietician and take necessary precautions and make sure to keep yourself updated about the disease.

High Creatinine Level After the Kidney Transplant

If one person still have high creatinine level after Kidney Transplant . What should he do ?There are one patient story about high creatinine level after the Kidney Transplant and the following content also include the doctor's answer .

My husband had a kidney transplant about 5 weeks ago. We were monitoring his fever, which was 99, so called the transplant team and went to get some blood work and urine test. His creatinine level rose from 1.5 to 2.6. He has no symptoms whatsoever. He is going for a biopsy today. It sounds like acute rejection. What should we do now? He had been doing well all along. He is taking Cellcept and Repamune. Will these medicines change? What can I expect, we are devastated because he was doing so well?

There could be variety of causes for the increase in creatinine five weeks following the transplant. Infection and Rejection would be high on that list. As you mentioned, biopsy will reveal whether it is indeed rejection and what is the grade of rejection. Depending on the severity of rejection, he may be treated with IV steroids or strong anti-rejection medicines like thymoglobulin or OKT3. On the other hand, if it is infection, this will be totally different treatment depending on kind of infection. Yes, if it is found out to be a rejection, it may result in change of anti-rejection medicines that he currently takes.

You can try some Chinese therapy for your conditions . Like Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy , Full Bath Therapy and Blood Pollution Therapy .Chinese herbs can treat one's kidney problem in root . And there are little side effect .

How to treat the kidney failure due to diabetes

Diabetes if do not have a good control will lead to Diabetic Nephropathy . The same is true Diabetic Nephropathy if not treat early it maybe lead to kidney failure . The following content will introduce to you how to treat the kidney failure due to diabetes .

Diabetes would cause lots of complications and kidney failure is one of them. But many people don’t pay more attention to preventing the diabetes from developing into renal failure. As soon as you are diagnosed with renal failure, prompt and right treatment are suggested to be adopted which would improve the chances of successful treatment. How to treat the kidney failure due to diabetes?
The kidney damage from diabetes is closely connected with the high glucose level that is extremely leading to diabetic nephropathy. The high blood sugar could seriously stimulate the blood vessels, resulting in the impairment of endothelium-dependent vasodilatation. Once the equilibrium mechanism is disturbed, there will be insufficient blood and oxygen flowing into the kidneys, which would make the renal cells damaged or diseased, losing their normal function. A t the moment, the kidneys would begin to suffer from fibrosis, deteriorating the renal damage. With time going by, it would cause renal failure without right treatment. early diabetes cause small damages to the renal function, which are difficult to be find out for no symptoms appear until it become very serious. So in the early stage of the diabetes, you are suggested to pay more attention to your daily nursing with healthy diet and lifestyle besides positively seeking medical treatment. Even if it progresses into the renal failure, there is still hope for you to get the disease reverse if you choose the right treatment.
Clinically, the kidney failure due to diabetes is mostly treated with dialysis. The dialysis helps to alleviate the symptoms by filtering the toxin and waste products such as creatinine out of the body. Dialysis is kind of replacement therapy and it can’t help to improve the renal function and renal damage still exists. Long-term continuous dialysis would make the renal residues gradually fail to work as normal because dialysis substitutes the rest kidneys for performing. And patients have to depend on the dialysis to sustain their rest life once they start to receive the therapy. The complications may increase after the patients get the dialysis.
The crux for treating the kidney failure due to diabetes is to eliminate the immune complex leading to the injuries of glomerular basement membrane as well as the diseased tissues. Only the glomerular basement membrane gets repairmen, the renal function could be improved and the disease could be under control.

Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is one of efficient therapy for kidney disease patients . And this therapy can restore kidney function naturally . Because this therapy can make the Chinese herbs permeate one's kidneys directly . So this therapy can take effect quickly.

How to prolong the life of the patients with Renal Failure ?

Many Renal Failure patients want to know one thing - The life expectancy of a person in Renal Failure . The following content will tell you some informations about the life expectancy of a person in Renal Failure .And can tell you some therapy can prolong the life of renal failure patient .
Let me give it to you straight. If she started dialysis today, on average, she would live 3-5 more years. The annual mortality rate for End Stage Renal Disease patients is 22%. That means that the average ESRD patient will live for just under 5 years on dialysis. Diabetes raises that mortality rate about 3% for a total of 25%. I'm not sure off the top of my head the numbers for CHF, but it is about another 5-10% increase in mortality rate, as the number one cause of death in ESRD patients is heart failure.
The way she will die is, since her kidneys cannot filter out the potassium she consumes fast enough, it will cause her heart to beat irregularly. If she has lost the ability to produce urine, her vascular system will become flooded with fluid and her heart won't be able to keep up with the increased volume. That increased volume will also collect in her lungs making it difficult to breath, depriving her heart and brain of oxygen. Her kidneys cannot filter out the urea her body produces, which will result in toxemia, rapidly damaging her heart, brain, and other vital organs. If she lives long enough, the phosphorus that her kidneys can't filter out, will absorb into her aorta, and causing it to calcify and harden, making it harder for the heart to supply itself with oxygen.
When you combine all these things there is little chance that your grandmother can survive very long (weeks at best) without dialysis. The sooner the decision is made, the less long-term damage will be done to her.

Dialysis is a life-changing choice - it can save her life, but in return it will be a life quite different from what she is used to. There will be dietary and fluid restrictions, more medications to take, dialysis every other day. Dialysis can save her life, but she needs to decide if this new life is worth it. I would recommend dialysis, but not to just TRY. If she's going to do it, do it all the way. Because the worst thing to happen is for her to only half commit to it, and then end up spending her last days miserable.

Protein Intake and CKD - CKD Patients Diet

Many patients with CKD know their diet principle that is low-protein diet .Is that absolutely ? The answer is NO ! That depends on the condition of the patients .

1. Chronic nephritis. Clinically, chronic nephritis is divided into ordinary type, hypertensive type, and nephropathy type. Dietary therapy for the first two types should be similar with the case of acute nephritis, the proteins intake need to be restricted to no more than 1 gram per day for 1 kilogram body weight.
There has dispute on diet for CKD patients in recent days. Patients can excrete proteins with urine for more than 3 grams per day, this will inevitably cause malnutrition to them, so people mistakenly believe that large amount of protein supplement can improve patients’ nutritional status. On the contrary, only by lowering the protein intake can reduce the proteinuria and maintain the level of plasma albumin.
Chronic renal dysfunction, uremia. Azotemia and uremia are different clinical stages of chronic renal failure, it is mainly from retention of waste products in blood. Dietary therapy in this two condition is very important, it is supposed to be low in protein, aiming at decreasing the stimulation from toxins, improper diet will make the process of chronic renal dysfunction and uremia faster, Experiment shows that when glomerular filtration rate is in the range of 25 to 75, low protein intake will slow down the process of renal failure, the appropriate supplement should be 0.55 gram per day for 1 kilogram body weight.

Patients with chronic renal dysfunction whose GFR is lower than 25 and not in dialysis, the treatment can be low protein accompanied with amino acid and ketonic acid, the low protein can be referred as 0.28 gram per day for 1 kilogram weight, and the daily protein supplement should be about 16 to 18 grams.

Diet is important for CKD patients . The efficient therapy is also a important factor to restore kidney function .Do you heard Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy ? There are a video about this Therapy . You can click Here to watch this video .

Kidney Disease Diet - Is Fish Good For Kidney Disease Patient

Many person like eating fish . Kidney Disease patients' diet is very important . The following content will tell you is fish good for kidney disease patients . And in the following content you will know many knowledge about kidney patient diet .

Is fish good for patients with kidney disease? Generally speaking, the answer is yes, but it also depends. We all know that fish is high quality protein food, and for patients with kidney disease, the general dietary principle is low-salt, low-fat, high quality low-protein. So, fish is good for patients with kidney disease.
But there are many different kinds of fish, which falls into two categories: sea fish and river fish. As I said before, it depends on patient’s specific conditions, for example, patients whose uric acid level is high, then it is not good for them to eat sea fish, because sea food can increase uric acid level, which can deteriorate patient’s kidney condition, while river fish is good for them. Although river fish is good for them, too much river fish intake also can burden the kidneys and makes their condition even worse. So, high quality low-protein diet should be followed.

Well, how much protein exactly should they eat for each day? This is completely depends on their specific condition. For patients with nephrotic syndrome, because they leak too much protein with urine, and their albumin level is low, so they may be advised by their doctors to eat more protein, we say fish to supplement protein so as to guarantee their daily energy demands, on the other hands, to release their edema caused by low albumin level. But this is a conflict, because too much protein intake, on one hand, can release their low albumin and swelling, on the other hand, that can also lead to more protein leakage, duly leading to more kidney damage. So, how much protein exactly they should intake? It is necessary for you to consult specialists in kidney disease, and let them help you make your diet chart according to your medical results. Also you can send me your detailed medical reports, let us help you with it.

The above content is my suggestions for kidney disease patients diet . And the right treatments is more important for kidney disease patients .I know a good therapy named Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy . You can click Here to know more about this therapy .
