overview of kidney failure

When your kidneys lose function gradually,at last will cause kidney failure.If you enter this stage,will spend more time and money to treatment it.

When your kidneys lose their ability to filter waste from your body, dangerous levels of waste and fluids build up. This condition is known as kidney failure or renal failure. Sometimes this occurs acutely, such as after surgery or if blood vessels leading to or from kidneys are blocked. Chronic kidney failure, however, develops slowly over time, and most people don't know they have it until it is in its advanced stages.
When kidney function has decreased to less than 25 percent of normal capacity, symptoms often appear. Two common causes of chronic renal failure are high blood pressure and diabetes. During end-stage renal disease, when kidneys function at less than 10 percent of normal, the kidneys cannot sustain life. Western medicine believes that dialysis or a kidney transplant is necessary in order to stay alive.
When left alone, chronic kidney failure can lead to other complications, such as congestive heart failure, weak bones, and central nervous system damage. The symptoms do not usually occur until after irreversible damage has occurred. These symptoms include decreased urine output, unexplained weight loss, high blood pressure, anemia, and fatigue. Itching skin, muscle cramps, and intestinal bleeding can also occur.

Many things can lead to chronic kidney failure, although diabetes and hypertension are the two most common causes. Obstructive nephropathy, when urine outflow is blocked by an enlarged prostate, tumors, or kidney stones, can also cause it. Other kidney diseases such as polycystic kidney disease, kidney infections, and glomerulonephritis, where your kidneys leak protein into your urine, are other causes.

how to improve the prognosis of kidney failure patients

Different from the previous kidney treatment, 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.

Mild-to-moderate Chronic Kidney Disease

High blood pressure is one of common symptoms in CKD patients,Now let us learn more about Mild-to-moderate chronic kidney disease.

If you have chronic kidney disease (CKD) then your kidneys are not working as well as they once did. Various conditions can cause CKD. Severity can vary but most cases are: mild or moderate, occur in older people, do not cause symptoms and do not progress to kidney failure. People with any stage of CKD have an increased risk of developing heart disease or a stroke. This is why it is important to detect even mild CKD, as treatment may not only slow down the progression of the disease, but also reduces the risk of developing heart disease or stroke. This leaflet is for people who have been diagnosed with mild-to-moderate CKD (stage 1, 2 or 3 CKD). A separate leaflet in this series, called Chronic Kidney Disease, is more appropriate if you have more severe CKD (stage 4 or 5 CKD).

Understanding the kidneys and urine



The two kidneys lie to the sides of the upper part of the tummy (abdomen), behind the intestines, and either side of the spine. Each kidney is about the size of a large orange, but bean-shaped.
A large artery - the renal artery - takes blood to each kidney. The artery divides into many tiny blood vessels (capillaries) throughout the kidney. In the outer part of the kidneys, tiny blood vessels cluster together to form structures called glomeruli.
Each glomerulus is like a filter. The structure of the glomerulus allows waste products and some water and salt to pass from the blood into a tiny channel called a tubule. The liquid that remains at the end of each tubule is called urine. The urine then passes down a tube called a ureter which goes from each kidney to the bladder. Urine is stored in the bladder until it is passed out when we go to the toilet.
The main functions of the kidneys are to:
Filter out waste products from the bloodstream, to be passed out in the urine.
Help control blood pressure - partly by the amount of water passed out of the body as urine and partly by making hormones which are involved in blood pressure control.
Make a hormone called erythropoietin (epo) which stimulates the bone marrow to make red blood cells. This is needed to prevent anaemia.
Help keep various salts and chemicals in the blood at the right level.

What is chronic kidney disease?

CKD means that your kidneys are affected in some way. As a result, your kidneys may not work as well as they used to. A whole range of conditions can cause CKD (see later).
Some terms explained:
Chronic means ongoing (persistent or long-term). It does not mean severe as some people think. You can have a mild chronic disease. Many people have mild CKD.
Renal means relating to the kidney.
Chronic renal failure is a term that is sometimes used but means much the same as CKD. CKD is a better term, as the word failure implies that the kidneys have totally stopped working. In most cases of CKD this is not so. In most people who have CKD there is only a mild or moderate reduction in kidney function, which usually does not cause symptoms, and the kidneys have not failed.
How is chronic kidney disease diagnosed?
A simple blood test can estimate the volume of blood that is filtered by the glomeruli in your kidneys over a given period of time. This test is called the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). A normal eGFR is 90 ml/min/1.73 m or more. If some of the glomeruli (the tiny filters in the kidneys) do not filter as much as normal, then the kidney is said to have reduced or impaired kidney function.
CKD is diagnosed by the eGFR and other factors, and is divided into five stages:
Stage of Chronic Kidney DiseaseeGFR ml/min/1.73 m
Stage 1: the eGFR shows normal kidney function but you are already known to have some kidney damage or disease. For example, you may have some protein or blood in your urine, an abnormality of your kidney, kidney inflammation, etc.90 or more
Stage 2: mildly reduced kidney function AND you are already known to have some kidney damage or disease. People with an eGFR of 60-89 without any known kidney damage or disease are not considered to have chronic kidney disease (CKD).60 to 89
Stage 3: moderately reduced kidney function. (With or without a known kidney disease. For example, an elderly person with ageing kidneys may have reduced kidney function without a specific known kidney disease.)45 to 59 (3A)
30 to 44 (3B)
Stage 4: severely reduced kidney function. (With or without known kidney disease.)15 to 29
Stage 5: very severely reduced kidney function. This is sometimes called end-stage kidney failure or established renal failure.Less than 15
Who has the estimated glomerular filtration rate test?
The eGFR blood test is commonly done as a routine part of monitoring people with kidney diseases or with conditions that can affect the kidneys, such as diabetes or high blood pressure. It is also often done as a routine test in many medical situations. If you are found to have CKD then the eGFR test is usually done at regular intervals to monitor your kidney function.

How common is chronic kidney disease?

About 1 in 10 people have some degree of CKD. It can develop at any age and various conditions can lead to CKD. It becomes more common with increasing age and is more common in women.
Although about half of people aged 75 or more have some degree of CKD, most of these people do not actually have diseases of their kidneys; they have normal ageing of their kidneys. Most cases of CKD are mild or moderate (stages 1-3).

What causes chronic kidney disease?

A number of conditions can cause permanent damage to the kidneys and/or affect the function of the kidneys and lead to CKD. Three common causes in the UK, which probably account for about 3 in 4 cases of CKD in adults, are:
Diabetes. Diabetic kidney disease is a common complication of diabetes.
High blood pressure. Untreated or poorly treated high blood pressure is a major cause of CKD. However, CKD can also cause high blood pressure, as the kidney has a role in blood pressure regulation. About nine out of ten people with CKD stages 3-5 have high blood pressure.
Ageing kidneys. There appears to be an age-related decline in kidney function. About half of people aged 75 or more have some degree of CKD. In most of these cases the CKD does not progress beyond the moderate stage unless other problems of the kidney develop, such as diabetic kidney disease.
There are various other less common conditions that can cause CKD.

Treatments

Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is a treatment option for kidney disease patients who still have urine output. It is highly recommended as it has been proven to be able to improve kidney function.

Can Nephrotic Syndrome lead to Kidney Failure?

Can Nephrotic Syndrome lead to kidney failure?I think every patients with nephrotic syndrome will care this problem.Now let us solove this proble from What is Nephrotic Syndrome.


Nephrotic syndrome refers to a group of clinical symptoms, including large amount of proteinuria, edema, hypoalbuminemia and hyperlipidemia.
Nephrotic syndrome patients do have the possibility to lead to renal failure, but not every patient will definitely develop renal failure. The prognosis of each case should depend on the patient’s specific illness and physical conditions and many factors need to be taken into account such as the underlying cause of nephrotic syndrome, age, gender, level of proteinuria, blood pressure, response to the therapy.
Many disease and illness conditions can cause nephrotic syndrome. Nephrotic syndrome is usually classified into 4 types according to different pathogenic lesions. They are minimal change disease, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, membranous nephropathy, mesangial proliferative glomerular nephritis.
Minimal change disease is the most common cause of nephrotic syndrome in children and it usually does not lead to chronic renal failure because children patients often have good response to steroids.
However other diseases such as FSGS will often progress into renal failure and loss of kidney functions because of its poor response to hormone therapy and high recurrent rate.
Besides, there are many causes of nephrotic syndrome. They are infections, diabetic kidney disease, systemic lupus erythematosus, amyloidosis, renal vein thrombosis, heart failure, etc.
The first step to prevent renal failure is to bring the underlying cause well under control so as to avoid further renal damages. Then effective treatments should be received to alleviate symptoms and complications such as high blood pressure and proteinuria which will in turn worsen renal damages if not treated properly or timely. Well control of blood pressure and reducing protein in urine can greatly slow its progression into renal failure.
Also there are some risk factors that can speed up the illness progression of nephrotic syndrome, therefore it is very important to learn them and have early prevention. They include certain medicines such as anti-inflammatory and anti-infection drugs; certain infections such as HIV, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, malaria; certain illness conditions such as diabetes, lupus, amyloidosis, etc.

How to ease hyperkalemia in kidney failure

If you were diagnosed with kidney failure,maybe you will occur a symptom that is hyperkalemia.So I want to tell you how do we solve hyperkalemia in kidney failure.

Patients with kidney failure appear high potassium should be deal with as soon as possible.we need different treatment to cure the kidney disease. Today we discussed from three aspects.The Potassium in blood increased sharply when it is usually need to take active measures to treat in short time.We need the help of the doctor by correct acidosis who use of certain medicine to potassium dropped to normal level in a short period of time.For particularly serious patients, they should give blood dialysis treatment.For hyperkalemia slightly higher, the illness is not serious , we can reduce potassium though the habits and customs.First of all, daily intake of potassium content control in 50 to 60mmol.Stay away from coffee, bananas, oranges, spinach, potato,which food is containing higher potassium. It should be noted that broth containing potassium is high, so the patients shouldn’t go to eat soup, meat for vegetables, especially high potassium shouldn’t go to eat soup either.Far from leading to a high potassium medicine including inhibiting renin - angiotensin - aldosterone system medication, beta adrenergic receptor blockers, indomethacin and inhibition of potassium in the distal renal tubular secretion of medicine (e.g., spironolactone, ammonia, benzene pteridine),which will cause hyperkalemia increased for the renal failure patients .

Treatment 


Different from the traditional Chinese medicine, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is an innovation to treat kidney disease in the external area of kidney lesions. It can treat kidney disease from the root cause and effectively prevent the relapse of kidney disease.

10 symptoms of kidney disease

If you were diagnosed with disease disease,pay more attention about the symptoms is essential.


"Many people who have chronic kidney disease don't know it, because the early signs can be very subtle. It can take many years to go from chronic kidney disease to kidney failure. Some people with live out their lives without ever reaching kidney failure.

However, for people at any stage of kidney disease, knowledge is power. Knowing the symptoms of kidney disease can help you get the treatment you need to feel your best. If you or someone you know has one or more of the following symptoms of kidney disease, or you are worried about kidney problems, see a doctor for blood and urine tests. Remember, many of the symptoms can be due to reasons other than kidney disease. The only way to know the cause of your symptoms is to see your doctor.

Symptom 1: Changes in Urination
Kidneys make urine, so when the kidneys are failing, the urine may change. How?


- You may have to get up at night to urinate.

- Urine may be foamy or bubbly. You may urinate more often, or in greater amounts than usual, with pale urine.
- You may urinate less often, or in smaller amounts than usual with dark colored urine.
- Your urine may contain blood.
- You may feel pressure or have difficulty urinating.

What patients said:

"When you go to use the restroom, you couldn't get it all out. And it would still feel just like tightness down there, there was so much pressure."

"My urine is what I had started noticing. Then I was frequently going to the bathroom, and when I got there, nothing's happening. You think, 'Hey, I've got to go to the john,' and you get there: two, three drops."

"I was passing blood in my urine. It was so dark it looked like grape Kool-Aid. And when I went to the hospital they thought I was lying about what color it was."

Symptom 2: Swelling


Failing kidneys don't remove extra fluid, which builds up in your body causing swelling in the legs, ankles, feet, face, and/or hands.

What patients said:
"I remember a lot of swelling in my ankles. My ankles were so big I couldn't get my shoes on."

"My sister, her hair started to fall out, she was losing weight, but her face was really puffy, you know, and everything like that, before she found out what was going on with her."

"Going to work one morning, my left ankle was swollen, real swollen, and I was very exhausted just walking to the bus stop. And I knew then that I had to see a doctor."

Symptom 3: Fatigue

Healthy kidneys make a hormone called erythropoietin (a-rith'-ro-po'-uh-tin) that tells your body to make oxygen-carrying red blood cells. As the kidneys fail, they make less erythropoietin. With fewer red blood cells to carry oxygen, your muscles and brain become tired very quickly. This condition is called anemia, and it can be treated.

What patients said:
"I was constantly exhausted and didn't have any pep or anything."

"I would sleep a lot. I'd come home from work and get right in that bed."

"It's just like when you're extremely tired all the time. Fatigued, and you're just drained, even if you didn't do anything, just totally drained."

Symptom 4: Skin Rash/Itching

Kidneys remove wastes from the bloodstream. When the kidneys fail, the buildup of wastes in your blood can cause severe itching.

What patients said:

"It's not really a skin itch or anything, it's just right down to the bone. I had to get a brush and dig. My back was just bloody from scratching it so much."

"My skin had broke out, I was itching and scratching a lot."

Symptom 5: Metallic Taste in Mouth/Ammonia Breath
A buildup of wastes in the blood (called uremia) can make food taste different and cause bad breath. You may also notice that you stop liking to eat meat, or that you are losing weight because you just don't feel like eating.

What patients said:


"Foul taste in your mouth. Almost like you're drinking iron."

"You don't have the appetite you used to have."

"Before I started dialysis, I must have lost around about 10 pounds."

Symptom 6: Nausea and Vomiting

A severe buildup of wastes in the blood (uremia) can also cause nausea and vomiting. Loss of appetite can lead to weight loss.

What patients said:


"I had a lot of itching, and I was nauseated, throwing up all the time. I couldn't keep anything down in my stomach."

"When I got the nausea, I couldn't eat and I had a hard time taking my blood pressure pills."

Symptom 7: Shortness of Breath


Trouble catching your breath can be related to the kidneys in two ways. First, extra fluid in the body can build up in the lungs. And second, anemia (a shortage of oxygen-carrying red blood cells) can leave your body oxygen-starved and short of breath.

What patients said:
"At the times when I get the shortness of breath, it's alarming to me. It just fears me. I think maybe I might fall or something so I usually go sit down for awhile."

"I couldn't sleep at night. I couldn't catch my breath, like I was drowning or something. And, the bloating, can't breathe, can't walk anywhere. It was bad."

"You go up a set of stairs and you're out of breath, or you do work and you get tired and you have to stop."

Symptom 8: Feeling Cold

Anemia can make you feel cold all the time, even in a warm room.

What patients said:

"I notice sometimes I get really cold, I get chills."

"Sometimes I get really, really cold. It could be hot, and I'd be cold."

Symptom 9: Dizziness and Trouble ConcentratingAnemia related to kidney failure means that your brain is not getting enough oxygen. This can lead to memory problems, trouble with concentration, and dizziness.

What patients said:

"I know I mentioned to my wife that my memory—I couldn't remember what I did last week, or maybe what I had 2 days ago. I couldn't really concentrate, because I like to work crossword puzzles and read a lot."

"I was always tired and dizzy."
"It got to the point, like, I used to be at work, and all of the sudden I'd start getting dizzy. So I was thinking maybe it was my blood pressure or else diabetes was going bad. That's what was on my mind."

Symptom 10: Leg/Flank Pain

Some people with kidney problems may have pain in the back or side related to the affected kidney. Polycystic kidney disease, which causes large, fluid-filled cysts on the kidneys and sometimes the liver, can cause pain.

Treatment

Different from the traditional Chinese medicine, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is an innovation to treat kidney disease in the external area of kidney lesions. It can treat kidney disease from the root cause and effectively prevent the relapse of kidney disease.
