Frequent Urination At Night and Kidney Problem


Frequently urination at night maybe an indicator of kidney problem, especially problem in renal tubule. With increased urination, kidney disease patients may need to go to urinate for five to six times every night. This symptom affects patient's sleeping seriously and thus worsen their illness condition.
If an individual drinks lots of water before he go to bed and it is normal for him to have excessive urination at night. But if he does not drink lots of water but has too much urine, he should be alert because frequent urination at night always is a sign of kidney problem.
Frequent urination at night is the condition that urine output at night is more than 500ml or urinating more than 2 times a night.
Kidney problem causes frequent urination at night
Renal tubule is a part of our kidney and it can reabsorb back water and nutrient substances that filtered by renal glomeruli. Glomeruli filter our blood and meanwhile conserve nutrition, during which, a small amount of nutrient substances may leak out along with harmful substance. When they come to renal tubule, about 99% nutrition are reabsorbed back, and the left substances are discharged by our kidneys as the form of urine or feces.
However, when renal tubules are damaged, water and other leaked nutrition can not be reabsorbed effectively, as a result of which, more urine are discharged and also a small amount of nutrition like protein get out of our body with urine. This is the reason, why some kidney problem patients have symptoms of frequent urination at night and proteinuria.
Excessive urination caused by kidney problem usually is accompanied by some other symptoms like electrolyte disturbance and acid-base imbalance. In advanced stage of kidney problem, aside from frequent urination, patients may also have swelling, anemia, blood urine and high blood pressure and so on.
Frequent urination is one of the symptoms of kidney problem, so do not ignore it casually and go to doctor as soon as possible once it occurs.

Treatment for Pruritus in Renal Failure


Pruritus, also can be called itch, occurs easily in renal failure patients because of a great deal of toxic substances in blood. Pruritus refers to a sensation that urge people to scratch and it is bothersome. So, treatment should be applied to help renal failure patients reduce sufferings. Well, what is the treatment for pruritus in renal failure?
Treatment for pruritus should has ability of removing or at least alleviating this symptom. So to achieve this purpose, we must find out how renal failure causes pruritus.
Renal failure is a medical condition, during which, kidneys cannot regulate excessive electrolytes, can not display secretion function and also fail to excretes various toxins or toxic substances produced during our metabolism. Due to impaired kidney function, more and more toxins pile up in the blood and stimulate our skin, which can cause pruritus symptom. In this light, treatment for pruritus in renal failure must be able to clear these toxins away from patient's blood.
Treatment for pruritus in renal fialure.
1.Antipruritic medicines or fluids
This treatment is effective for stopping pruritus for a moment, but once patients stop taking medicines, this symptom will reappear, because it fails to clear toxins away from blood.
2.Blood purification technics like dialysis, plasma exchange and immunoadsorption.
Clearing toxic substances away from blood help to alleviate pruritus effectively, but it far from enough to remove pruritus symptom forever. Because of kidney failure, more and more toxins pile up in the blood, so if renal failure patients choose this treatment, they need to do blood purification repeatedly.
3. Immunotherapy
To be honest, Immunotherapy does not focus on treating pruritus, but repairing kidney damages. Even though, compared with the above two treatments, it is the best one. We know it is normal for our body to produce some toxins or toxic substances. In normal cases, these harmful substances can be excreted by our kidneys. However, because of renal failure, these toxins can not be discharged timely, which finally leading to the occurrence of pruritus. Therefore, repairing kidney damages and increasing kidney function is the best solution for removing pruritus in renal failure.
In medical field, many treatments can be applied to stop prurutis caused by renal failure, but while we choose treatment, we need to choose the one which can help us solve problem from the root, instead of the one which just focuses on treating the surface symptom.

Plasma Exchange Helps Lupus Nephritis Patients


Plasma exchange is a kind of treatment method that remove blood with high concentration of toxins out of patient's body. This treatment is applied on the basis of advanced device that can help to separate blood with high concentration of toxins from good blood and meanwhile transfuse fresh blood with high nutrition into patient's body.
Plasma exchange is especially helpful for patients with immunological disease like Lupus Nephritis.
How does treatment for plasma exchange help Lupus Nephritis patients
Lupus Nephritis refers to kidney disease caused by SLE (Systemic Lupus Erythematosus) which is an autoimmune disease. Clinical detection found that patients with SLE have different kinds of autoantibodies and immune complexes in blood serum. These autoantibodies and immune complexes circulate with blood and when they deposit in kidney and cause kidney damages, Lupus Nephritis occurs, that is to say there are also lots of autoantibodies and immune complexes in Lupus Nephritis patients' body.
If we do not clear these autoantibodies and immune complexes away, they will deposit in our other internal organs like brain, heart and lung and then cause varies diseases. However, through plasma exchange we can remove these harmful substances, which is extremely helpful for Lupus Nephritis patients to prevent varies complications.
Treatment effects of plasma exchange on Lupus Nephritis
1. Slow down or stop the progression of Lupus Nephritis
2. Help to avoid varies serious complications like heart failure, brain diseases and nerve diseases and so on.
3. Weaken inflammatory reaction in kidneys and avoid further kidney damages
4. Replenish varies of nutrient substances
Plasma exchange is an adoptable treatment for Lupus Nephritis and with the help of this advanced treatment method, harmful substances like immune complexes can be removed out patient's body effectively, which is of primary importance for patient's recovery.

Something We Should Know Before Kidney Transplant


Kidney Transplant maybe a good choice for kidney failure patients to get rid of dialysis, however, it does not mean kidney transplant can be done casually. Before kidney transplant, learning some related information is very helpful for a successful kidney transplant surgery.
What is kidney transplant?
Talking about how to prepare for kidney transplant, kidney failure patients should firstly know well what kidney transplant is. Kidney transplant actually refers to a surgery, during which a healthy kidney is put into kidney failure patient's body to replace the failed kidney to work. Kidney Transplant is the last option for people with totally failed kidneys. It is helpful and meanwhile risky.
What are the risks of kidney transplant?
1. Rejection
Rejection is the most dominant risk for kidney transplant recipient. Serious rejection deprive patient's life easily, so to avoid this condition, a series tests need to be done to know whether the kidney is matched for kidney transplant recipient. Also, to inhabits rejection, patients need to take a great deal of anti-rejection tablets. These medicines usually are very expensive and long-term taking of them can
2. Internal bleeding
Internal bleeding is another dangerous risk for recipient and once occurs, surgery need to be done to get the transplanted kidney out.
3. Infection
As the leading aggravating factor for kidney damages, infection always contributes to the failure of the transplanted kidney.
Is kidney transplant the last option for kidney transplant?
Many kidney failure patients choose kidney transplant just because they think they have no other option. Actually they are wrong. For many kidney failure patients with urine output and bloodstream in kidney, they have great chance to avoid kidney transplant and even dialysis.
Immunotherapy, as the latest medical treatment for kidney disease, has been proven to function in increasing kidney function. For an individual, as long as his function is more enough to mainly his normal life, he need not to do dialysis and kidney transplant.
How to prepare before kidney transplant is a matter that need to be known by all the kidney failure patients, especially for these who have made their determination to do kidney transplant, but considering the life-threatening risks of kidney transplant, if possible kidney failure patients should choose an alternative treatment.

Can All Kidney Failure Patients Accept Kidney Transplant?


With the development of our medical technology, kidney transplant surgery has been relatively mature, and this makes many kidney failure patients pin their hope on kidney transplant. More specifically, almost every patient suffering kidney failure wants to get rid of dialysis and enjoy their life through kidney transplant. But can all kidney failure patients achieve their dream?
The long list of waiting a kidney donor may frustrate many patients, but these patients still have a chance to achieve their dream while some patients can never do kidney transplant, that is to say they must live with kidney failure in their whole life.
Which kind of patients can not accept kidney transplant?
1. When the patients’ kidney failure is caused by systemic disorders, they can’t accept kidney transplant. The reason is that even if these patients accept kidney transplant, systemic disorders can make the new kidney fail again.
2. If the patients have serious infection, phthisis, peptic ulcer or malignant tumor, they can’t do kidney transplant either.
3. The patients suffering very serious medical disease (heart diseases, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, hepatocirrhosis) can’t consider kidney transplant.
4. Because patients need lifelong maintenance therapy after kidney transplant, those people with mental disease can’t accept kidney transplant.
What can renal failure patients do without kidney transplant?
Since these patients can’t do kidney transplant, kidney experts try to find a new treatment to maintain their normal life and improve their health, and this treatment is called immunotherapy. Immunotherapy, the combination of traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine, aims at building up the patients’ immune systems and making their body stronger through adjusting their internal environment and protecting their damaged kidney function, and this therapy is now used very maturely in the north of China.
If you are just one of these kidney failure patients who can’t accept kidney transplant, please don’t lose your confidence. Immunotherapy has helped many kidney failure patients to remit their disease effectively and gives these patients a more healthy life. Kidney transplant may be an impossible thing for some patients, but immunotherapy is available for every patient with kidney failure.

Brand-new Treatment for Diabetic Nephropathy-Immunotherapy



As one of the most commonly seen complications for Diabetes, Diabetic Nephropathy threats patients through pushing them into dialysis, kidney transplant or causing various life-threatening diseases like cardiovascular diseases, heart failure and brain disease.
Immunotherapy, as a brand-new treatment, can help patients stop Diabetic Nephropathy as well as lower the incidence of serious complications. Well then, how does Immunotherapy treat Diabetic Nephropathy?
Diabetic Nephropathy refers to kidney problem caused by Diabetes which is marked by persistent high blood sugar. Long time high blood sugar leads to the increased generation of glycation end products which can give rise to the appearance of extracellular matrix such as laminin, vitronectin and type IV collagen. These substances can cause damage to our glomeruli. Also, with the occurrence of kidney damages, more and more toxic substances can not be excreted timely, which can worsen kidney damages directly. However, fortunately, Immunotherapy can help patients avoid these problems.
Immunotherapy is divided into six steps in clinical to help Diabetic Nephropathy patients and they are Immunodiagnosis, Immune clearance, Immune blocking, Immune tolerance, Immune regulation, and Immune protection. These six steps focus on resolving different problems.
1. Immunodiagnosis: this step is aims at knowing how many harmful substances there are in our blood and this is of primary importance for our following treatment.
2. Immune clearance: according to step one, we adopt different blood purification technics to remove different kinds of toxic substance in the blood and this is helpful for preventing them deposit in kidneys. Advanced blood purification technics include Plasma Exchange, Hemoperfusion, Immunoadsorption and Hemofiltration and so on.
3. Immune blocking: these harmful substances deposit in kidneys and cause inflammatory reaction which is the direct cause for kidney damages. Immune blocking means stop inflammatory reaction with brand-new medicines.
4. Immune tolerance: These harmful substances must be cleared, otherwise, further kidney damages will be caused sooner or later. However, as we can not remove them over night, so we need our kidneys to live harmoniously with these harmful substances temporarily. In this step, this purpose is achieved by means of some western medicines.
5. Immune regulation: In Immunotherapy, this step is aims at increasing patients' self-curative ability. Each of us has self-curative ability which not allows harmful substances to deposit in our kidneys forever. Through increasing our self-curative ability with some Chinese herbal medicines, especially Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy, harmful substances can be cleared away little by little. No harmful substances, no inflammatory reaction and no further kidney damages.
6. Immune protection: In normal case, we should be free from various diseases because of our powerful immune system and only when our immune system is abnormal or our immunity is low, can we be susceptible for bacterium or viruses. Therefore, whenever, protecting our immune system is essential for us to keep being healthy.
Immunotherapy is a new but effective treatment for Diabetic Nephropathy. It treats diseases on the basis of our immune system, so as of now it is the most natural treatment for kidney problem caused by Diabetes.

Symptoms of Polycystic Kidney Disease



In recent years, the morbidity of Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) increases very fast and PKD has become the third factor that causes kidney failure according to the statistical data. However, most people are not very clear about symptoms of Polycystic Kidney Disease. Next let we see these symptoms together.
1. Renal cysts
Many PKD symptoms are closely related to the development of renal cysts. The number of cysts will increase with the development of patient’s condition.
2. Back pain and abdominal pain
Back pain and abdominal pain are most common symptoms in PKD patients, especially in the female patients.
3. Renal function damage
The decline of kidney enrichment function always shows the kidney function damage in the early stage. Most of PKD patients can still maintain the normal kidney function, even if they have been forty years old or sixty years old. Once the patient’s renal function begins to reduce, the drop speed of his glomerular filtration is about 4.4-5.5ml/min every year.
4. Hypertension
Hypertension is one of most common symptoms in the early stage of PKD. Hypertension is related to the kidney size and the number of cysts and it will rise with the increase of age. Hypertension can leads to the renal function damage.
5. Anemia
Polycystic Kidney Disease patients usually don’t have anemia, and the patient who has persistent hematuria may have mild anemia. The occurance of PKD patients’ anemia is later and milder than other patients’.
6. Gross hematuria
More than thirty percent of PKD patients have gross hematuria that is spontaneous or happens after strenuous exercise. The factors that cause gross hematuria are anginorrhoxis, stone, infection and canceration.
Polycystic Kidney Disease is a life-threatening disease. If you have one or more symptoms mentioned above, you should see a doctor as soon as possible. Early diagnosis and treatment can help you to recover.

Three Common Treatments for Polycystic Kidney Disease Patients



Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD), caused by genetic disorder, is an inherited disease. In recent years, the researches for PKD treatments have achieved a large progress. In the clinical, there are usually three methods to treat this disease: general treatment, surgical treatment and complications treatment. At first, the patients should control their diet and avoid drastic exercise. If the patients don’t get good effect through the general treatment, they should consider the surgical treatment and prevent the complications.
1. General treatment
Polycystic Kidney Disease patients should control protein intake in their diet and drink the water more than 3000ml. According to the patient’s condition, they can do appropriate exercise but not drastic exercise.
2. Complications treatment
Treatment for back pain: If the patient’s back pain is transient, he can observe his disease at the beginning. But the patient has to consider surgical treatment if his back pain is serious and the analgesic can’t help him to ease his pain.
Treatment for bleeding: The patient should choose appropriate treatment according to the causes of his hematuria and the size of his cyst. If bleed too much, the patient has to accept blood transfusion treatment and at that time, bed rest is very important to him.
Treatment for hypertension: Hypertension is not only one of Polycystic Kidney Disease complications but also one of factors that can cause kidney function damage. If the patient suffers from hypertension, he must take some measures to control his blood pressure for example: maintaining his weight, doing some exercise, eating some medicine, and even doing surgical treatment.
Treatment for infection: Cyst infection is the common complication. Sensitive antibiotics can help the patient to treat his infection.
Surgical Treatment: When the conservative treatment is invalid, patients can do surgery to remove the increasing cyst. Different patients should use different surgical schemes according to their conditions. The surgical methods include cyst puncture pumping fluid method, cyst to top decompression, laparoscopic down top decompression and high selectivity in renal artery embolization.
Common treatments can only help the Polycystic Kidney Disease patients ease their symptoms but not cure their diseases. If these patients want to have a better treatment effect, they can consider a new therapy- Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmtherapy.

Immune Tests Help IgA Nephropathy Patients Increase Treatment Effects


Obviously, treatment is the most important method to stop IgA Nephropathy from progressing to end stage renal failure. However IgA Nephropathy patients seldom receive satisfactory treatment effects. Why? Because they missed to do immune tests before receiving treatment.
Immune tests help IgA Nephropathy patients increase treatment effects greatly. We know IgA Nephropathy is diagnosed usually through Routine Blood Test, Routine Urine Test and tests for kidney functions. All these tests tell us IgA Nephropathy is formed and there are immune complexes in the kidney, but they fail to tell us what kind of immune complexes there are, exact location of immune complexes deposit as well as the exact dose of immune complexes. Without knowing these condition, doctors have to try every medicines to stop IgA Nephropathy, which actually delay the remedial treatment and when IgA Nephropathy develops to a more advanced stage, it is more hard to bring IgA Nephropathy under control.
Immune tests refers to several special tests often done in Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital and they can help us know it clearly that what kind of immune complexes in IgA Nephropathy patient's body, where they located in and how many immune complexes there are in the kidneys. After founding out these questions, doctors prescribe medicines focusing on removing this medicines. In this way, immune complexes can be cleared away effectively and immediately. Consequently, treatment effects are more visible.
It is vital to receive treatment to stop IgA Nephropathy while we are diagnosed with this disease, but before doing that, please make sure you have done immune tests; otherwise, your treatment effects maybe not as better as you imagined before.

IgA Nephropathy Is Autoimmune Disease


IgA Nephropathy is autoimmune disease with typical symptom of blood urine. IgA Nephropathy is regarded as an autoimmune disease because the onset of it involves our immune system. So how is IgA Nephropathy formed? What to do with IgA Nephropathy?
How is IgA Nephropathy formed?
IgA is a kind of immunoglobulin A, the amount of which in our blood ranks only second to IgG. It is the major antibody which plays the role of defending infection. For IgA Nephropathy patients, because of autoimmune disorder, large amounts of IgA or IgA immune complexes are formed. These substances deposit in mesangial area, a part of kidney, and cause inflammatory immune response. Inflammatory immune response is helpful for clearing IgA and IgA immune complexes away, but it is also harmful for our own renal tissues. Because of inflammatory immune response, kidney damages occur and IgA Nephropathy is formed.
What to do with IgA Nephropathy?
IgA Nephropathy is an autoimmune disease and it occurs because of autoimmune disorder, so the best and most fundamental method for dealing with IgA Nephropathy is to adjust immune system.
Immunotherapy is an alternative treatment for IgA Nephropathy, which treats IgA Kidney Disease by means of adjusting patient's immune system.
Immunotherapy is not only helpful for IgA Nephropathy, but also for many other autoimmune diseases like Lupus. Immunotherapy, as a natural medical treatment, is created on the basis of Chinese herbs. These herbs grow naturally in the world with the function of extending blood vessels, anti-inflammation, anti-coagulation and degradation. They have medical function, but contain no chemical composition, so they are the most safe medicines for treating autoimmune diseases like IgA Nephropathy.
Through regulating IgA patient's immune system, Immunotherapy helps patients achieve the purpose of normalizing immune system and removing IgA immune complexes in mesangial area. No IgA immune complexes in kidneys, no inflammatory immune response, no kidney damages and also no IgA Nephropathy.
Any questions about autoimmune disease-IgA Nephropathy, welcome to consult us.

Why Do IgA Nephropathy Patients Can not Smoke


Can IgA Nephropathy patients smoke? If cannot, why? In our daily life, many people have habit of smoking. However, once they are unfortunately affected with IgA Nephroapthy, they will be asked to quite smoke. Why is this?
Actually not only IgA Nephropathy patients are suggested to quite smoke, but also all the other patients with kidney problems are recommended to keep far away from cigarette smoking and this is because cigarette smoking contributes to the progression of IgA Nephropathy.
IgA Nephropathy is a primary kidney disease, which can be accelerated by many factors and smoking is just one of them. We know the typical symptom of IgA Kidney Disease is blood urine which indicates excessive red blood cells are lost from urine. Long-term blood urine cause anemia directly. Smoking is harmful for our health. According to a study, different kinds of cigarette produces different chemical substances, but mainly carbon monoxide and tar. Red blood cells have the capability of bringing oxygen to every tissue of our body, but too much carbon monoxide will worse this ability and damage our organs indirectly. With anemia, IgA Nephropathy patients will have symptom of fatigue and poor concentration. Similarly, without enough oxygen, our muscle will be short of energy to supply our physical activities. Therefore, we can say smoking is actually exacerbating symptoms of IgA Kidney Disease. This is the one of the reasons why IgA Nephropathy patients cannot smoke.
Smoking damages us in different ways. For IgA Nephropathy patients, aside from accelerate their kidney problem, it also threatens them with lung cancer, cardiovascular disease, brain disease, digestive system disease and so on. So for IgA Nephropathy patients, even if their kidney problem is controlled, they may die of these smoking related diseases if they just keep smoking in their daily life.
Lastly, smoking not only affects IgA Nephropathy patients themselves, but also others they are getting along with. Therefore, for the sake of themselves, as well as others, they need to and they should keep being far away from smoking.
