“If I have Kidney Disease, will I ultimately need dialysis or kidney
transplant?” This is a very common concern for Kidney Disease patients, and I
can affirmatively give the answer to them, “No, you needn’t.” Then I will
expound my reason in detail.
The stage in which Kidney Disease patients need to dialysis or kidney
transplant: every body has two kidneys and in the normal situation, only one
kidney is enough to guarantee our life, so the patients needn’t dialysis or
kidney transplant if their kidneys can play their function. Patients begin
dialysis or receive a kidney transplant only when they reach Stage 5 of Chronic
Kidney Disease, the condition known as end-stage renal disease or kidney
failure. Most patients’ conditions never progress to that point, so these
patients can avoid dialysis and kidney transplant if they take effective
treatment in the early stage.
The effective treatment for kidney disease patients—immunotherapy: just like
in a wrestling match, only we ourselves are very strong, we can defeat our
rivals. So the patients can also defeat their diseases if they have a good
internal environment and a strong body. Immunotherapy can help the patients with
kidney disease to clean their internal environment and rebuild their body
through repairing their immune systems and enhance their ability to fight
against the kidney disease. Immunotherapy is divided into six steps, and every
step has its own function.
·Comprehensive diagnosis—it can help the doctor to make clear which type the
patient’s disease is.
·Immune blocking—it can block patients’ inflammatory reaction and stop the
damage of renal inherent cells with the use of some immunosuppressive drugs.
·Immune Tolerance—it can make the patients’ body adapt with these damaged
cells and immune complexes through the immunosuppressive agents infusion
regularly.
·Immune Adjustment—it can improve the kidney disease patient’s immunity to
clear the pathogenic factors and enhance their body through Traditional Chinese
medicine therapy especially Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy.
·Immune Protection—it can help to protect the renal inherent cells from
damaging, so these cells can be repaired gradually and the patients can avoid
dialysis and kidney transplant.
·Immune Clearance—it can help the patients to remove the pathogenic factors
and give back a good internal environment and a strong body to the kidney
disease patients.
The earlier diagnosis and the more effective treatment, the less chance of
dialysis and kidney transplant will happen on the kidney disease patients.
Immunotherapy can help the early-stage patients to avoid dialysis and kidney
transplant.

Why Plasma Exchange Is Better Than Blood Dialysis for Lupus Nephritis
Is Plasma Exchange really better than blood dialysis for Lupus Nephritis
patients? If we want to solve this question, we must first make clear what
causes Lupus Nephritis. Lupus Nephritis is the most common kidney disease caused
by Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE).
SLE is a typical autoimmune disease that always invades many other systems and organs. When SLE invades our kidney, Lupus Nephritis will happen. So we can clearly know the immune disorder, which includes the abnormalities of immune tolerance, B cell hyperfunction, T cell dysfunction and abnormal cell factors, is the pathogenesis of Lupus Nephritis, and the immune disorder can produce many immune complexes. These immune complexes deposited in the glomerulus can damage our kidney function, and then Lupus Nephritis happens.
When our SLE develops into Lupus Nephritis, most of us have to choose blood purification as the substitute of our kidney function. But at this time, we want to ask whether we can maintain our normal life just through the ordinary dialysis equipments. If we want to know the answer, we must know something about blood dialysis and plasma exchange.
What is the difference between blood dialysis and plasma exchange?
Ordinary blood dialysis as many kidney disease patients’ choice only can help us to clear away the small molecules such as urea nitrogen, creatinine, electrolyte and water, while the plasma exchange can help us to eliminate not only the small molecules but also the middle molecules and macromolecules such as immune complex, immune globulin, albumin, bilirubin, etc.
Why should Lupus Nephritis patients choose plasma exchange not dialysis? The above has mentioned that the substances which can cause Lupus Nephritis are mainly immune complexes especially DNA immune complex. Blood dialysis can’t help us to eliminate these substances, so the Lupus Nephritis patients have to choose plasma exchange.
Now, I believe we can surely say that plasma exchange is really better than blood dialysis for Lupus Nephritis patients.

What is a kidney transplant?
Kidney transplantation is commonly known as the "kidney transplant", but this is not a new kidney replacement original kidneys, but the new kidney is implanted in the patient's body, generally the iliac fossa, instead of the original work of the kidneys.
Kidney transplantation has been recognized as the best treatment method for the treatment of chronic renal failure and uremia. Used in clinical renal transplantation more than 40 years, all organ transplant, a kidney transplant efficacy and safety of the best. All renal failure, uremia patients can do a kidney transplant?
Kidney transplant surgery and other surgery compared to a high-risk surgery. Patients with renal failure because of the various systems of the body may damage and dysfunction, so not all patients with renal failure can do a kidney transplant, kidney transplant, said doctors in general clinical indications:
Kidney transplant is actually no longer age restrictions, but by age influence the effect of renal transplantation, kidney transplant from a baby of a few months to more than 80-year-old man can. General age requirement of 13-60 years old, good physical condition, may be appropriate to relax; older than 55 years old by surgery complications increased, the relative increase in the risk; younger than 13 years of age, especially in less than 4 years old the recipients, kidney transplant surgery significantly increased the difficulty of these affect the success rate of the surgery and effect.
By dialysis treatment in good physical condition uremic patients can renal transplant. But part of disease, kidney transplantation prone to complications should be careful.
Various primary or secondary kidney disease: glomerulonephritis, interstitial nephritis, hereditary nephritis, polycystic kidney disease, diabetic nephropathy, hypertension, arteriosclerosis nephropathy, drug-induced renal damage, lupus nephritis and so feasible renal transplantation.
Abnormal liver function, ulcer disease, lung infections, urinary tract infections, tuberculosis, heart failure, pericardial effusion must be cured before kidney transplantation.
For hepatitis B, hepatitis C virus infection required after treatment, liver function to normal one month after renal transplantation as well. Interferon therapy should not be within a short time after renal transplantation. Contraindications and relative contraindications kidney transplant?
Uremic patients at the same time suffering from cancer, chronic respiratory failure, severe vascular disease, coagulation disorders, intractable heart failure, psychosis, severe urinary tract malformations and difficult to cure infected are not suitable for renal transplantation.
Uremia associated with more severe coronary heart disease and nephritis, polycystic kidney disease associated with severe polycystic liver renal transplantation should be careful. Significantly increased risk of postoperative infection, severe liver damage, kidney disease recurrence in the short term, and heart attack increased cardiac accidents.

Common symptoms of different kidney diseases
There are different kinds of kidney disease which can bring us different symptoms.Now, let's learn the common symptoms of different kidney diseases.
● acute nephritis: acute onset of varying severity. The symptoms of proteinuria, hematuria, edema, hypertension, oliguria into azotemia, and may be accompanied by fatigue, anorexia, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and abdominal pain. Seen in all age groups, but is common in children 6 to 10 years old.
● nephrotic syndrome: massive proteinuria, hypoproteinemia, edema, elevated cholesterol.
● IgA nephropathy: repeated attacks, the naked eye and sustained microscopic hematuria, may be associated with varying degrees of proteinuria and nephrotic occult blood or respiratory tract infection or asymptomatic urinary abnormalities, or manifestations of chronic nephritis, or performance of levy, common low back pain and other symptoms. More common in young adults.
● chronic nephritis latent: onset, progress has been slow, light can be heavy or light weight, abnormal urine, edema, anemia, hypertension, azotemia, often due to upper respiratory tract infections induce or aggravate or associated with nephrotic syndrome, acute exacerbation of chronic nephritis, or similar acute nephritis.
● lupus nephritis: is the bone small ulcers secondary to systemic lupus erythematosus needed damage common in young women, most of the patients first systemic lupus erythematosus symptoms (such as fever, skin lesions, multiple joint pain, etc.), clinical appear on kidney disease, kidney lesions after systemic system involvement. The nephropathy performance light asymptomatic nephritis (only abnormal urine), nephrotic syndrome, a common chronic nephritis, an indisputable progressive nephritis.
● allergic purpura secondary purpura nephritis: kidney disease, common in children, most of the first symptoms of allergic purpura was followed by kidney disease, characterized as nephrotic syndrome or chronic renal fire syndrome.
● HBV-associated glomerulonephritis: glomerular damage, hepatitis B result usually presents with asymptomatic proteinuria and hematuria, acute nephritic syndrome, nephrotic syndrome or renal insufficiency.

Will Kidney Disease Appear Again after Kidney Transplant?
Will kidney disease appear again after kidney transplant? I believe this is
the question that most of the kidney failure patients who tend to do kidney
transplant care about. So what is the answer at all?
As a matter of fact, some kidney diseases like FSGS indeed occur to patients again after their kidney transplant. Kidney transplant is a medical procedure, in which a healthy kidney is put into kidney failure patient's body to replace the failed kidney. This method is helpful as some patients can live a normal life without dialysis after kidney transplant, but the problem is that kidney transplant does not remove the causes of previous kidney failure.
For some kidney failure patients, they suffer from kidney problem because of their primary diseases like Hypertension and Diabetes and so on. For these people, kidney transplant just help them replace the failed kidney with a healthy kidney, and it can not help them remove the causes of kidney failure, say hypertension and Diabetes,etc. Therefore, under such a circumstance, even if their failed kidney is replaced, their new kidney can be damaged again. For people with kidney failure caused by other diseases, controlling primary disease is extremely important for them to bring kidney disease under control no matter they choose kidney transplant or not.
Kidney transplant is a method for kidney failure, but it has many side effects. For instance, after kidney transplant, patients are very likely to suffer from injection which need them to take anti-rejection tablets. Long-term taking of anti-injection will weaken our immunity, which is also bad to our healthy. Also, internal bleeding also occurs easily after kidney transplant and this may deprive patient's life immediately. Therefore, being kidney transplant, kidney failure patients should think over it carefully.
Actually, kidney transplant is not the only option for kidney failure patients. Aside from dialysis and kidney transplant, they also can choose Immunotherapy. Immunotherapy is a natural treatment which treats kidney failure through increasing kidney function. It causes no side effects, and if you are interested in this treatment, welcome to consult us to get more information.

Why Do Patients Feel Tired And Nauseous After Dialysis?
Several times’ dialysis in one week or one month may make the patients
frustrated. If they are tired and nauseous after dialysis, they will feel that
every dialysis is tormenting them and they may reject dialysis as the time goes
on. So to find out the reasons which make them tired and nauseous is very
important for dialysis patients to stop these discomforts from happening.
According to the clinical research, dialysis patients’ nausea and tiredness due to several reasons (low blood pressure, infection, severe anemia, allergic reaction, etc). Next we will discuss each of these reasons more detailedly.
Low blood pressure
The incidence of low blood pressure accounts for 25-60 percent, so it is one of the most common causes, if not the most common cause, of patients’ tiredness and nausea after dialysis. In the dialysis treatment, a lot of fluid is removed to prevent it from accumulating in the body and producing too much urine. But the more fluid that has been removed, the greater the chance of dialysis patients feeling tired and nauseous will be.
Infection
Infection, as a common cause, can be observed easily. It indicates the patients have been infected if fever and chill occur after the dialysis, and the infection can damage not only the kidney but also many other organs. So dialysis patients should let their doctor or nurse know their problem.
Severe anemia
Ordinary people suffering severe anemia usually feel very tired and dizzy. The dialysis patients’ reaction to severe anemia must be stronger because much nutrition is lost during the dialysis. Then severe anemia can aggravate the dialysis patients’ tiredness and nausea.
Allergic reaction
The number of the dialysis patients suffering from the allergic reaction may be smaller than the above reasons, but it can also make the patients have an ill feeling once the patients have an allergic reaction to the dialyzer. So the patients should not ignore this reason.
Feeling tired and nauseous can make dialysis patients painful and a long-time reaction to dialysis may cause these patients’ rejection to dialysis, so they can’t live with it happily. Now since we have known the reasons which cause patients’ bad feeling, we must help them to prevent these reasons.

What Are the Risks of Having Kidney Transplant
Kidney Transplant maybe a good choice for kidney failure patients to get rid
of dialysis; however, it is not an ideal method, there are also some risks for
people to do kidney transplant. Now let's learn what the risks are?
1. Rejection
Rejection is the most common risk that having kidney transplant, to avoid severe rejection, patients need to have tests to make sure the donor kidney matches their tissue type and blood type. Also, after kidney transplant, patients need to take lots of anti-rejection tablets. These medicines usually are very expensive and also long term taking of these medicines damage patient's immune system and worsen their immunity. Therefore, kidney failure patients bad better not choose kidney transplant as long as there is other alternative treatment.
2. Severe infection
Infection occurs easy in kidney transplant. It is one of the dominant aggravating factors for kidney problem, so all the kidney problem patients no matter they have received kidney transplant or not, they need to prevent infection actively.
3. Bleeding
Bleeding is another risk factor happening easily in kidney transplant. Generally speaking, when bleeding condition occurs, transplanted kidney need to be taken out of kidney failure patient's body immediately; otherwise, patient's life will be threatened seriously.
4. Reaction to the anesthesia used for surgery.
If not managed properly, reaction to anesthesia will become a life-threatening condition.
5. Failure of the transplanted kidney
Donor kidney fails after kidney transplant is very common among kidney failure patients who have received kidney transplant. In some cases, the transplanted kidney only work several months or even shorter for the patients. For FSGS patients as well as patients whose kidney problem is secondary disease, they are especially easy to have kidney failure again after kidney transplant, because kidney transplant does not help them to remove the root causes for kidney failure.
These are the common risks of having kidney transplant, but they not all. During surgery, some other unforeseen risks may occur and learning these risks well is helpful for kidney failure patients to make preparation before kidney transplant.
