The kidneys are an important organ in our body, the basic functions of the
kidney are as follows.
First, it produces urine.
Second, it can purify the wastes or toxins of the body.
Third, the kidney tubules have the function of reabsorption, through which
the kidneys can keep the water and other useful materials, such as glucose,
protein, amino acid, sodium ion, potassium ion, sodium hydrogen carbonate, etc,
so as to keep balance between water and electrolyte and maintain a acid-base
equilibrium.
Forth, the kidneys have endocrine function. It can produce renin, hemopoietin
( which is related to anemia), activated vitamin D3 (which is related to calcium
deficiency, renal osteodystrophy), prostaglandin, plasmakinin ( the last two are
related to blood pressure.)
Fifth, the kidneys is the place where the degradation of the endocrine
hormone in the organism takes place . Besides, it is also the target organ of
the renal pheromone.
It is these functions above that the inner condition of our body stays stable
and the metabolism runs smoothly.
the signs of the kidney diseases in the early stage
1 edema
Eye edema
The features of the nephrotic edema are as follows. Eyelid or facial edema
will arise after a kidney patient get up in the morning, usually it will fade
away after noon. It will get worse when the patient feel tired, and it will fade
after a rest. The lower parts of our body, such as the inner ankles, legs and
the lumbosacral portion ,usually have a higher possibility in getting serious
edema.
Hypertension
The hypertension caused by kidney diseases is same with the common
hypertension. The patient will feel headache, dizzy, giddy, and tinnitus.
However, some patients have got hypertension for a long time, thus they have a
higher toleration for hypertension. Therefore, they won’t feel uncomfortable
even they have got kidney diseases.
Lumbago
Usually, patients will feel aching pain, gripping pain or persistent and dull
pain in their kidney part.
Abnormal urine amount
Normally, a person’s urine amount is about 1,000~2,000ml./day, and at an
average amount of 1,500ml./day. The abnormal urine amount may be a sign of
kidney disease. Especially the excessive urination at night is a sign of kidney
disease.
Abnormal urine test
If protein , occult blood, red blood cells(which is a index that most likely
become abnormal,especially at the early stage of kidney disease), white blood
cells, urinary cylinder,ketone body, urine sugar are found in the urine routine
test, then a further test is needed to identify the result.

The tests required for chronic kidney disease screening
Generally speaking, people are not aware of getting chronic kidney disease in
the early stage. The majority of patient have no idea about what kind of tests
they should have. A key point is that every person should have tests regularly
even there is no apparent symptoms. The tests are as follows.
First, the urine routine test, which is the most convenient one to test what extent the urinary system has developed to. Usually, the respectively levels of the urine protein, glucose, red blood cell and white blood cell are the major indexes.
Second, the test for red blood cell in urine. If the percentage of red blood cell is over 80%, then it is likely that the red blood cells are excreted from the glomerulus.
Third, the test of 24-hour urinary protein quantity. If the amount of protein in the urine increases, then there must be something wrong with the glomerulus. This kind of test is more precise than the urine routine test. It can reflect the patient’s condition at the greatest extent. However, the result of test can be influenced by the foreign materials in the urine. What is more, if the collected urine is within 24hours, or the patients intake a large amount of protein, the result will also be influenced.
Forth, the test of urine osmotic pressure. Usually the normal range is 600~1400. If the result is below the normal range, then it reflects a decline of renal function of concentration and dilution.
The tests mentioned above are the major ways to screen the chronic kidney disease. Certainly ,there are also other tests. It is not important what sort of tests the patients take, the matter is that the patients can realize the importance of having tests regularly.

Do You Know About Chronic Kidney Disease?
What is chronic renal disease? Scientifically, glomerulonephritis, gouty
nephropathy or hypertensive renal disease, etc, all can be called chronic renal
disease. It is a serious disease that torments thousands of people all over the
world. It brings pain and bitterness to a lot of families and makes patients
lose their courage to struggle. The growing number of people who get chronic
renal disease is becoming a heavy burden of our government. Recognizing this
serious situation, we should have a comprehensive knowledge about chronic renal
disease.
First, we have to know some symptoms in the early stage of chronic renal disease. Usually, the abnormal urine amount is a sign of chronic renal disease. For example, if one suffers from a excessive urine amount at night, then he or she had better have a urine routine test,because it is a dangerous sign of chronic renal disease. A lot of bubbles in the urine or blood urine is also a sign of chronic disease. These signs are easy to notice.As long as we pay attention to theses signs, we can lower the risk of getting chronic renal disease.
However, if a person has unfortunately got the terrible disease, then what should he or she do? This is the second question we have to handle. A scientific and healthy diet is very important. The patients should know clearly what kinds of food they should or should not eat. First of all, the intake of the amount of protein must be kept in a normal range, for too much of protein will aggravate the urine protein. What is more, a high calorie intake is advised, for the calorie not only can decompose protein, but also can provide enough amino acid for our body. Patients can have rice, wheat, corn and so on to get the calorie they need. Last, a large amount of Vitamin intake is also a effective way for patients suffering from chronic renal disease. Therefore, patient should have more fresh vegetables and fruits in their daily life.
Finally, some factors such as mentality, sports also hold great meaning to the patient. So, in order to conquer chronic disease, patients should have a good state of mind and exercise regularly. So, just be confident. Chronic renal disease can be conquered!

The symptoms caused by chronic kidney disease
The kidneys are important organs in our body, which serve to excrete wastes
or toxins in the blood and absorb the protein, glucose and other materials we
need. In order to keep our kidneys in good condition, we should know the
symptoms caused by chronic kidney disease.
Usually, too much of bubbles in the urine is one of the symptoms of chronic kidney disease. Normally, the tension on the surface of the urine is weak ,thus it is impossible to form much bubbles. However, it can be caused when there are something wrong with the kidneys. For example, a high level of urine sugar or ketone in the urine will makes the tension strong, then bubbles will be produced. So, we must pay attention to this sign .
What is more, hematuria is another symptom of the chronic kidney disease. This symptom is easy to notice. When the color of the urine changes into red, it means there are red blood cells in the urine. It is because the glomerular disease that makes the red blood cells excrete from our body. If a person unfortunately has this symptom, then he or she should have a test as soon as possible. It is truly a dangerous sign that we should pay enough attention to.
The edema is also a symptom of chronic kidney disease.The features of the nephrotic edema are as follows. Eyelid or facial edema will arise after a kidney patient get up in the morning, usually it will fade away after noon. The lower parts of our body, such as the inner ankles, legs and the lumbosacral portion ,usually have a higher possibility in getting serious edema.
Usually, patients will feel aching pain, gripping pain or persistent and dull pain in their kidney part. This kind of situation is also a sign that we should not ignore.

How should Nephrotic syndrome patients use albumin correctly
Nephrotic syndrome patients excrete proteinuria, it easily appears
hypoproteinemia, hypoproteinemia is also called protein malnutrition or
edematous malnutrition. Protein is the important component of body tissue cells;
protein exists in all of human body tissue cells. Physical growing and
development, renewing senescent cells, repairing damaged organization are all
needed protein. The indispensable component of enzyme, hormone and antibody are
also protein. Protein is zwitter-ion, it has buffer function, protein controls
internal body water and water distribution, and it is also body heating
resource. Therefore, lack protein will cause edema and impair hormone treatment
effect.
Nephrotic syndrome patients using human albumin over and over causes protein cast increase, protein cast damages kidney tubules and causes appear over and over, it will also make the recurrence rate of refractory nephrotic syndrome increase. But patients having proteinuria leads to worse hypoproteinemia, and even edema symptom, if they don’t use albumin, they can’t raise the rate of serum albumin, it will influence the effect of diuresis and detumescence. The patients often are willing to use albumin to meet the diuresis and detumescence requirements.
During nephrotic syndrome treatment, there are a lot of people often use albumin to improve protein level and reinforce treatment effect. But incorrect using albumin is not able to meet the diuresis and detumescence requirement. In a previous case, the doctor gives patient a glass of albumin every two days, it lasted half of month, but it doesn’t help to decrease the edema, and the serum protein value is the same as prior treatment. What is the reason for this result? Using venous inflow the serum protein is already excreted from kidney after one or two days, it only lasts very short term treatment. What kind of case for patients to take albumin? The decision is different under different case, as normal speaking there are two kinds of people should use albumin:
1. Severe edema patient after gets venous inflow still can’t not meet the diuresis requirement, they should use albumin. According to plasma osmotic pressure decrease leads to severe edema that is because hypoproteinemia, water in organization is not able to get into blood vessels. Using albumin improves plasma osmotic pressure and speed up the water in organization get into blood vessels to reach diuresis goal.
2. After using diuretic, patient has insufficient plasma capacity symptom, such as: hypotension, sweating, dizzy, atony and so on. Under this case patient should use albumin to improve plasma osmotic pressure level and make more organization water enter blood vessel to raise plasma capacity.
In conclusion, the above two points is not for replenishing plasma albumin, even more it is for improving plasma osmotic pressure. Furthermore, it is not good for nephrotic syndrome patients to use albumin in long term treatment. Because albumin only enhances serum albumin in short term, it can not improve fundamentally, the price of albumin is very expensive, long term using is a waste without any helpful effect. Old people or cardiac insufficiency people inflow albumin, the effective blood volume increase, it may cause the left heart failure potential risk, and the protein in urine also increases, it accelerates damage the rest of kidney cells.
Nephrotic syndrome patients should try to use fewer albumins; albumins only cure the symptoms, but not the disease. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy just can achieve this goal in our hospital, as it is a combination of western medicines and herbal medicines.

The harm of polycystic kidney Disease
Polycystic kidney is a common hereditary kidney disease; the essence is that
there are some problems with double (bilateral) kidneys. The kidney tubules
linked with collecting tubes not so well when it was embryonic development
period. It makes excreting urine suffocate, kidney tubules becomes suffocate
cyst. Polycystic kidney autosomal recessive inheritance is infantilism
polycystic kidney; polycystic kidney autosomal dominant inheritance is adult
polycystic kidney. For human body, what kind of harm does polycystic kidney
cause?
1. The worst harm is hypertension, the cysts on polycystic kidney oppress normal nephridial tissue, and it leads to kidney ischemia and anoxia, and kidney appears hypoperfusion. It will make kidney local hardening, and then it will also influence kidney function. The worse kidney function damage leads to higher hypertension. If polycystic kidney patients do not control the hypertension quickly enough, it will make the situation more badly, kidney gets much more renal fibrosis, the serum creatinine increases. The exacerbation continues raise (elevate) blood pressure. It may incur enlarged heart and heart failure.
2. The kidney is with a lot of big or small cysts. The cysts get bigger when the age gets older. Cysts oppress kidney, this makes the structure of kidney get damaged and decreases the amount of nephron to produce urine. At the end, kidney function is damaged until is not able to excrete urine, it is uremia when the symptom is like that, patients have to sustain life rely on dialysis.
3. The polycystic kidney only damages kidney, but also it damages other organs. 30% polycystic kidney patients have polycystic liver at the same time, but their liver function is normal, and there is no symptom. Spleen, pancreas and lung are also with cysts. About 2% patients may have intracranial vascular malformation or arterial aneurysm; it easily causes intracranial hemorrhage, or incurs intracranial aneurysm, colon diverticulum, mitral valve back of and so on, the end stage kidney failure will be for the result at last.
So the polycystic kidney is serious harm, we should not blind with it, it will be serious to make patients dead, we had better found it early and start to treat it early, on one hand we can make illness state under our control, on other hand we can make the cells renew. Micro Chinese medicine osmosis treatment is a new treatment method, the specialists in our hospital use long term clinical experience and modern technical to treat kidney disease. The mean technical is tiny smash the kidney disease traditional Chinese medicine, the purpose is mixing the effective constituent and improving the use ratio. Using special machine and external application permeates medicines into kidney part. This kind of treatment method removes the danger of oral medicine toxic, the treatment also make medicine arrive focus of infection directly. The specialists in our hospital micro Chinese medicine osmosis treatment use many patients’ remit suffering.

Problems with the kidneys cause cramping in the legs
Cramp is muscle spasm. Cramp is quite normal for doing regular exercises
people, because supersession produces acidity substance, it leads to appear
muscle spasm. People with kidney problem not only legs cramp, but other parts of
body also cramp, just legs cramp symptom appears frequently. The reason of cramp
is lack of calcium.
Inorganic substance phosphorus restrains absorb calcium, the proportion of calcium and phosphorus is 1:05 in health body. Only the proportion is like this the calcium will be absorb by human body. Kidney with problem causes kidney function dysfunction, the kidney can not excrete phosphorus but excrete calcium. Calcium excreting is because of too much phosphorus, it brings about hyperphosphatemia, and this symptom leads to lack of calcium. Furthermore, oxalate also restrains absorb calcium, because oxalate and calcium forms to be calcium oxalate. Calcium oxalate is insoluble in water. A larger number of calcium oxalate stores in body easily lead to urinary calculi, it makes kidney damage worse.
Vitamin D also influences absorb calcium. There are two ways to get vitamin D: one is from food intake, another is own body producing. Vitamin D only exists in animal foods; there is no vitamin D in plant foods. According to food limitation, there are many foods they are not allowed eat, they can not get vitamin D from foods. They lay in bed for a long time, the time of staying in sunshine is very short, the body can not produce vitamin D without sunshine, these are the reasons of lack vitamin D.
Damaged kidney can not produce active hydroxylase; hydroxylase is the rate-limiting enzyme to produce catecholamine. Rate-limiting enzyme is slowest enzyme in whole metabolism; it influences whole speed of metabolism, also may change the direction of metabolism. Catecholamin includes dopamine, noradrenaline, and epinephrine. Hydroxylase exists in renal cortex cell mitochondria. Lack of hydroxylase leads to not be able to produce active vitamin D3. In gastrointestinal tract active vitamin D3 promotes absorption of calcium; people who have kidney problem can not produce active vitamin D3, so the hypocalcemia will arise.
If people who have kidney problem would like to stop cramp, they should replenish calcium; they should eat some rich calcium foods, such as milk, they should be in sunshine frequently. The good time for being is before 10 am and after 3 pm. There is too much harmful substance in the sunshine at noon. Before eating vegetable, the vegetable must be boiled a while and damage the oxalate in vegetable by heating. They’d better not eat high oxalate food, for example spinach, beans, grape and so on.
