What is the preventative diet to follow with stage 4 kidney failure? Daily diet needs to be arranged well when there is stage 4 kidney failure, as some foods do harm to our kidneys. Well then, what foods we should eat and avoid with stage 4 kidney failure?
1. Foods with high quality protein are suggested
A low-protein diet is always needed when kidney function is impaired. The metabolic product of protein is urea nitrogen which needs to be discharged out of our body through kidney. Therefore, high protein diet will add further burden on kidney. For stage 4 kidney failure patients, they need to ingest 0.4 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight per day. Besides, 60% of the protein they eat should be high quality protein which can be found in lean meat, fish, egg white and milk.
2. High carbohydrate foods are recommended
High carbohydrate foods can provide our body with energy. When there is no enough energy in our body, protein will be metabolized to support our body. Therefore, eating some high carbohydrate foods helps to reduce consumption of protien.
3. Follow a low-salt diet
Salt is rich in sodium and a high sodium consumption will cause worsening of high blood pressure and fluid retention.
4. Regulate potassium and phosphorus intake according to lab test
High potassium level and high phosphorus level are very common among stage 4 kidney failure patients. Hyperkalemia is very harmful for our heart and may cause arrhythmia and many other health tissues. And for hyperphosphatemia, it always affect our body from absorbing enough calcium and thus cause a series of bone problems like bone pain, fracture of bone and osteoporosis.
5. Replenish necessary vitamin
Due to diet restriction, stage 4 kidney failure patients may be lack of vitamin, so trying to eat more fruits and vegetables to replenish necessary vitamin is very important.

Cortical Cyst In Left Kidney and Its Treatment
What is cortical cyst in left kidney? In this article we will give an introduction about renal cortical cyst and then introduce its several treatment methods. Hope it is helpful for you to understand well about this illness.
What is cortical cyst in left kidney?
Kidney is an internal organ with bean shape. Renal cortical refers to the outter part of the kidney. Cyst is a fluid collection and kidney cyst means the fluid collection in kidney.
For one who is told to have a cortical cyst in kidney, he needs to find out the size of the cyst and then get tested to know whether kidney function is affected or not. If kidney function is unfortunately affected by the cyst, medical treatment is needed to improve kidney condition. However, if the cyst is very small and cause no influence on kidney, what the patient needs to do is to have a regular test about the cyst. If the lab test show cyst does not enlarge over time, then the cyst can be leave alone.
Treatment for cortical cyst in left kidney
Treatment is needed to deal with renal cortical cyst if kidney function is impaired. Currently, there are mainly two treatment methods for renal cortical cyst: surgery and Chinese medicine.
Surgery: Surgery is a treatment option for renal cortical cyst in left kidney. It is an effective way to remove cyst directly, so some patients choose surgery as their treatment for cyst in kidney. Surgery is effective, but it is painful and may cause infection.
Chinese medicine: Chinese medicine is another treatment option for renal cortical cyst. Compared with surgery, Chinese medicine works slowly, but it cause no discomforts and side effects like pain feeling and infection. Besides, Chinese medicines also show effects in improving kidney function and for this reason, it becomes a popular treatment method among kidney cyst patients.

What Are the Natural Ways to Lower Creatinine Level
What are the natural ways to lower creatinine level? You may find your serum
creatinine is higher than the normal value if you are living with kidney problem
and this is because kidney is responsible for regulating creatinine amount in
the blood. When lots of creatinine are produced in our body, kidney will work
hard to excrete excess one. Therefore, creatinine level in blood is always
measured to relfect kidney function. Well, for kidney disease patients, what are
the natural ways to lower creatinine level?
To get high creatinine level lowered down, the following methods are helpful:
1. A well-plan diet to reduce the production of creatinine
Many foods need to be avoided when your creatinine level is higher than the normal range (0.5-1.1 for female and 0.6-1.2 for male), and the purpose of which is to protect residual kidney function and prevent kidney failure. Generally speaking,with high creatinine level, high protein foods need to be limited, because high protein diet will worsen proteinuria and thus accelerate illness progress. Besides, low-salt diet is also recommended to help to control high blood pressure. Apart from these, foods high in potassium and phosphorus need to be avoided if lab tests show high levels of potassium and phosphorus in blood.
2. Treatment to lower creatinine level
Creatinine builds up as kidneys fail to function properly, so if we want to get high creatinine level normalized, we must strengthen kidney and improve kidney function. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is a treatment that has been used to treat patients from more than 60 countries. This treatment is able to improve kidney condition owing to its function of dilating blood vessels, anti-inflammation, anti-coagulation and degradation.
3. Quit smoking and drinking alcohol if you have developed these bad habits. Although smoking and drinking alcohol have no direct influence on kidney, they affect physical condition directly, which may thus cause elevation of serum creatinine. For this reason, quiting smoking and drinking alcohol is also very necessary for kidney disease patients.
4. Be in good mood
Clinical studies show that being in good mood helps to improve immunity, which also plays a part in protecting residual kidney function and successfully lowering creatinine level down.

How to Increase Kidney Function Naturally
How to increase kidney function naturally? Kidneys are bean-shaped organ which is located in our lower back. Kidneys are in charge of filtering blood, producing urine, reguating blood pressure, keeping electrolyte balance and secreting necessary hormone, so when kidneys shut down, a series of discomforts will appear. Well, for people who have been told to have kidney damage, how to increase kidney function naturally?
Natural treatment to increase kidney function
Oral medicines like prednisone, ACEI, ARBs and Diuretics are the most commonly used drugs for kidney disease. These medicines focus on different symptoms and they show quick and obvious treatment effects. Therefore, kidney condition can be brought control quickly with them. However, all these medicines only work on symptoms, and they can not treat kidney disease fundamentally.
So far, there is no such a treatment that can cure kidney problem, but clinical studies report some of Chinese medicine are effective in improving kidney function. Kidney works through a group of kidney intrinsic cells which are like our cells in our hand. When kidney cells are damaged midly, they can recover by themselves, but if they are injured severely, a certain medicines are needed to help them recover. Some Chinese medicines are proven to be able to increase the self-curative ability of kidney cells and with the help of these medicines, some damaged kidney tissues can be repaired and also kidney function can be improved a lot.
Chronic Kidney Disease is a simple kidney problem, but if left alone, it will affect the other systems or parts of our body. Therefore, stopping kidney disease from progressing is very important. Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital is a specilized hospital for kidney disease in China and so far has treated kidney disease patients from 64 countries.

Alternative Treatment for Polycystic Kidney Disease
For polycystic kidney patient, the vast majority of people were told they
have to do surgery. But, polycystic kidney can be cured without doing
surgery? Polycystic Kidney Disease which is always shorted as PKD is a life-threatening kidney problem. It is genetic, so people with parents or relatives suffering from this problem should do medical test regularly, so as to know if they are living with PKD gene. Sugery is a direct way to remove big cyst in kidney, but unfortunately, surgery can not solve problem fundamentally.
Doing surgery can relieve large cysts oppression on the renal parenchyma in a short time, improve the condition of renal ischemia and hypoxia, and reduce the nephron function damage. But there are also some disadvantages. For example, polycystic kidney surgery has not fundamentally solved the problem of fluid secretion, and surgery would cause certain damage to the kidneys. In addition, polycystic kidney is innumerable cysts, and surgery can only cure relatively large cysts, but small cyst would grow quickly when big cysts disappear, and these small cysts would oppress renal parenchyma again, cause substantial damage, and the condition would aggravate too, eventually polycystic kidney may develop into renal insufficiency or even uremia.
Polycystic Kidney Disease affects kidney through increasing and enlarged kidney cyst. Therefore, for the treatment of polycystic kidney, the key is to inhibit the increase of cyst in the body, reduce the kidney’s oppression. Inhibit the production of cyst fluid is the fundamental way to shrink cysts, so the treatment of polycystic can not merely to handle the big cysts.
Currently, there is no cure for Polycystic Kidney Disease, but kidney conditon indeed can be improved through shrinking kidney cysts and repairing a certain damaged kidney intrinsic cells. Micro-Chinese Medicine is an alternative treatment for Polycystic Kidney Disease as it is proven to be able to reduce cystic fluid and restore kidney function. It is a treatment based on TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine), but different from it, medicines in this treatment are used externally, so no side effects are caused during the whole treatment process.

Medicines for Polycystic Kidney Disease Patients
What medicines to take when being diagnosed with Polycystic Kidney Disease? Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is the most common life threatening genetic disorder caused by a single gene and affects between 1 in 400 to 1,000 people worldwide. This disease can occur in adult, also the baby. PKD is an illess which is marked by fluid-filled cysts that form in the nephrons of both kidneys (bilateral) and with no time and effective treatment, these cysts will become larger and larger. Under such a condition, kidney tissues will be oppressed and damaged easily. We know kidney works through a group of kidney tissues. Therefore, damage of kidney tissues will be an indicator for impairment of kidney function.
Kidney failure is finally caused if PKD is left along, so once being diagnosed with this problem, a series of medicines will be needed to help patients control illness. Well, what are the commonly used medicines for PKD patients?
Hypotensive Drugs
Blood pressure increases and high blood pressure appears when kidneys are damaged to a certain degree by the enlarged cysts. In this case, hypotensive drugs are needed to control high blood pressure, as it is an important factor that accelerates illness progression. Common bloodpressure medicines include:
ACE inhibitors.
Angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs).
Beta-blockers.
Calcium channel blockers.
Direct renin inhibitors.
Diuretics.
Vasodilators.
Medicines for Anemia
Erythropoietin (rhEPO) therapy and iron replacement therapy for anemia.
Medicines for proteinuria caused by PKD
ACE inhibitors and ARBs. These may be used if you have protein in your urine (proteinuria) or have heart failure. Regular blood tests are required to make sure that these medicines don't raise potassium levels (hyperkalemia) or make kidney function worse.
