Herbs To Lower Creatinine In Blood

What are the herbs to lower creatinine in blood? In this text, we will give an introduction about several herbs that can be used by kidney disease patients to lower their serum creatinine level. Hope it is helpful for you.
Before knowing the herbs to lower creatinine in blood, let's firstly learn how kidney disease cause elevation of serum creatinine.
How does kidney disease cause elevation of serum creatinine level?

Creatinine is a by-product of the filtration of the blood. This is a nitrous acid is produced by the kidneys and is stored in muscle cells. The liver and the pancreas aid the kidneys in the synthesis of creatinine. At any point in time, our body has a healthy level of 120 grams of creatinine, of which, we expend about 2 gm every day. The extra creatinine is filtered by the kidneys and expelled from the body through the urine.
For one with kidney disease, his kidney tissues have been damaged serious and can not perform function any more. Under such a condition, excess creatinine can not be discharged out of the body. They build up in blood, leading to high serum creatinine level. This is the reason why serum creatinine keeps raising if kidney damages can not be repaired and kidney functions can not be improved effectively and timely.

What are the herbs to lower creatinine in blood?
Many herbs can be used to lower creatinine in blood and they works in different ways. The followings are the common herbs that can be adopted by kidney disease patients to lower serum creatinine level.

Dandelion Root
Dandelion root is known as an herbal diuretic. Diuretics can help inactive kidneys by increasing urination. This increases the output of the kidneys and will dilute the amount of creatinine in the body by increasing the output of the urinary waste at a faster rate.

Featured Remedy
Buchu is an herbal remedy that is commonly used in treating kidney disease and various conditions of your urinary tract. Buchu, notes certified nutritional consultant and nutrition researcher Phyllis A. Balch, author of "Prescription for Nutritional Healing," has historically been used in controlling kidney problems and may be helpful in treating water retention, cystitis and prostate inflammation. This herb -- the leaves of the plant, specifically -- may be particularly helpful in treating kidney disease when taken in tea form, notes Balch. As long as kidney function gets improved, creatinine in blood gets reduced and serum creatinine level decreases.

Stinging Nettle Seed

Stinging nettle seed is possibly the most effective herb available that has been shown to lower these levels, as it has been reported that patients with stinging nettle seed show significant decrease in their serum creatinine level.
Aside from them, many other herbs like Siberian Ginseng, Cinnamon and Salvia also can be used to lower creatinine in blood. These herbs are helpful, but before taking them, please firstly talk with doctors about the possible side effects and proper dose.

Causes And Treatment For Enlarged Kidney

Enlarged Kidney refers to an abnormal condition in which kidney is larger than the normal size. Many diseases or conditions can cause enlarged kidney. Under such a condition, if it is left, more serious problem will be caused. Now, let's learn the causes and treatment for enlarged kidney.
Causes for enlarged kidney
Polycystic Kidney Disease: Polycystic kidney syndrome is a condition in which multiple cysts grow within the kidneys. The water-filled cysts are typically benign or noncancerous growths that can vary in size. An enlarged kidney is generally a symptom of this syndrome, as the cysts will cause the kidneys to expand. Other common symptoms may include abdominal swelling, back pain, headache, frequent urination and high blood pressure. If left untreated, high blood pressure can lead to other serious health problems, such as stroke, heart attack and kidney failure.

Glomerulonephritis: According to MayoClinic.com, glomerulonephritis is a form of kidney disease causing acute or chronic kidney inflammation. Glomeruli are a conglomeration of tiny filters in each kidney that connect to tubules, which collect fluid from the body. Together the glomeruli and tubules form a nephron, the main functional unit in each kidney. Filtering blood and returning nontoxic blood to the bloodstream as well as containing necessary proteins extracted from the filtration process are significant kidney functions. Bacteria and viral infections as well as immune diseases can hinder the glomeruli from completing the filtration and waste excretion required for the kidneys to work properly. Damage from these sources lead to kidney inflammation and acute or chronic kidney failure.

Hydronephrosis: When the ureters--tubes through which urine flows--are blocked, kidneys tend to swell. This condition is called hydronephrosis. If the urine isn't drained from the kidneys into the bladder, it accumulates and causes kidney enlargements. Hydronephrosis can range from mild to severe cases. A mild form of the disease doesn't manifest to a great extent; symptoms may include back pain, painful urination, cloudy urine and fever. If X-rays show severe abnormality in the ureters, surgery can fix the problem. For most cases of hydronephrosis, treatment is administered through antibiotics.
Treatment for enlarged kidney

Generally, kidney enlargement is a symptom of an underlying disease or disorder of the kidneys Most of the time, the enlarged kidney is treated by treating the underlying cause of this condition.

Consider surgery and Chinese medicine for either the removal of cysts if the kidney is large due to PKD (polycystic kidney disease).

Low-dose antibiotic that can be taken daily to treat urinary tract infections if patients suffer from enlarged kidney due to hydronephrosis.
Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy or Immunotherapy can be used to treat enlarged kidney caused by glomerulonephritis.





Kidney Cyst Rupture Symptoms

What are the kidney cyst rupture symptoms? Kidney cyst is a fluid collection in kidney and in some cases, it enlarge over time. Large kidney cyst ruptures easily and at that time, patients will experience a group of symptoms.
1. blood in urine: Frank blood in urine is an important warning signal of rupture of kidney cyst. In a solitary kidney cyst, blood in urine may not be noticed. They are generally filled with clear fluid. It can be detected on urine analysis. But when the condition is severe and there are multiple cysts, a person can notice red urine.For blood urine caused by rupture of kidney cyst, it usually lasts for several days and disappear gradually.
2. pain feeling in the lower back: Renal cysts can cause pain to an individual. Often the pain is a result of the cysts being located externally on the kidney and becoming enlarged and pressing against other structures in the body. The pressure generated by the growing cysts can cause them to rupture. Ruptured kidney cysts can cause pain in the back, sides, abdomen and hips. Another possible cause of pain is infection. If the fluid in the cysts is infected, once a rupture occurs the infection is no longer contained and may spread to other areas of the body.
If you are a kidney cyst patient and suffer from the above two symptoms suddenly,you may need to consider if your kidney cyst is ruptured. When kidney cyst ruptures, treatment is urgently needed, as more serious illness condition like kidney infection, septicemia,peritonitis and acute kidney failure can be caused if left uncontrolled.
Any questions about kidney cyst rupture symptoms, please feel free to consult our consultant online. We will try our best to help anyone with kidney problem.

What Does Foamy Urine Mean

What does foamy urine mean? Foamy urine refers to a condition in which there are lots of small foams in urine and also these foams do not disappear within a certain time. Foamy urine is an abnormal condition and it can help to reflect our health condition to some extent. 
What does foamy urine mean?
Most of the time, foamy urine means there are excess protein in urine and it is clinically called proteinuria. Many conditions like kidney problem, urinary tract infection and kidney infection can cause foamy urine (proteinuria). Here we will give an introduction about how kidney problem cause foamy urine. 
As you may already know, the kidneys are two organs located in yothe back, below the rib cage that act as filtering devices to eliminate waste materials from the body. The job of the kidneys is to eliminate waste products that could be harmful if allowed to build up. When the blood is filtered by the kidneys, usually proteins are reabsorbed and re-enter the blood stream with minimal amounts ending up in the urine. In certain conditions where the kidneys aren't functioning properly protein enters the urine, causing proteinuria. Usually, the severer the illness condition, the more foams in urine.

Treatment of Proteinuria
Proteinuria or foamy urine is just a clinical manifestation, not a specific disease. So its treatment depends on identifying and managing its underlying cause. If that cause is kidney disease, appropriate medical management is essential.
Untreated chronic kidney disease can lead to kidney failure.
In mild or temporary foamy urine, no treatment may be necessary.
Drugs are sometimes prescribed, especially in people with diabetes and/or high blood pressure. These may come from two classes of drugs:
ACE inhibitors (angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors)
ARBs (angiotensin receptor blockers)
Proper treatment -- especially in patients with chronic disease such as diabetes and high blood pressure -- is essential to prevent the progressive kidney damage that is causing the foamy urine.As for the treatment for kidney damages, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is recommended. It is a combination of several Chinese herbs which can help to improve kidney function. As long as kidney function gets improved, foams in urine are reduced effectively.

Definition, Symptoms And Treatment For Renal Parenchyma Disease


Renal parenchymal disease is common in our daily life and many people are diagnosed with it without any awareness. What is renal parenchymal disease on earthe? What are the symptoms and treatments?

Managing systemic disease processes, however, may prevent kidney damage and failure from occurring.
Symptoms of renal parenchymal diease

Symptoms of renal parenchymal disease include Loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, sleepiness, itching, twitching, and a metallic taste in the mouth, blood in the urine, abnormal blood tests, high blood pressure, swelling in the feet and lower legs, arms, or face, and dizziness and so on.

Treatment for renal parenchymal disease

Treatment for parenchymal kidney disease contain many aspects like removing excess salt, water and harmful substances from the bloodstream, restricting intake of salt, potassium, and protein, treating high blood pressure, managing diabetes, and taking erythropoietin ("epo"), a hormone that helps bone marrow to produce healthy blood cells.
Many oral medications can help to achieve these purpose, but if they are taking for a long time, side effects will be caused. Therefore, more and more patients with renal parenchymal disease put their hope on herbs. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is a combination of several Chinese herbs and can help to improve kidney function. It has been applied by more than 50 countries.
