How to Regulate Blood Pressure in FSGS

Several patients who are suffering from FSGS often develop high blood pressure. The persistent high blood pressure will damage blood vessels in the body. It will aggravate illness condition.

High blood pressure can damage the small blood vessels in your kidneys. The damaged vessels cannot filter wastes from your blood as they are supposed to.
Your doctor may prescribe blood pressure medication. Blood pressure medicines called angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) have been found to protect the kidneys even more than other medicines that lower blood pressure to similar levels. The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), one of the National Institutes of Health, recommends that people with diabetes or reduced kidney function should keep their blood pressure below 130/80 mm Hg.

High blood pressure can damage blood vessels in the kidneys, reducing their ability to work properly. When the force of blood flow is high, blood vessels stretch so blood flows more easily. Eventually, this stretching scars and weakens blood vessels throughout the body, including those in the kidneys.
If the kidneys’ blood vessels are damaged, they may stop removing wastes and extra fluid from the body. Extra fluid in the blood vessels may then raise blood pressure even more, creating a dangerous cycle.

The natural treatments in Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital have been proved to be effective in repairing the diseased blood vessels, promote blood circulation, extend blood vessels, provides a health internal environment for patients. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is a external application, which makes it possible to achieve the function quicker.

Can Blood Pressure be Regulated in Diabetic Nephropathy

How to regulate blood pressure in Diabetic Nephropathy? If you have the same doubt, you are recommended to read the following.

Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against blood vessel walls as the heart pumps out blood, and high blood pressure, also called hypertension, is an increase in the amount of force that blood places on blood vessels as it moves through the body. Factors that can increase this force include higher blood volume due to extra fluid in the blood and blood vessels that are narrow, stiff, or clogged.

High blood pressure can damage blood vessels in the kidneys, reducing their ability to work properly. When the force of blood flow is high, blood vessels stretch so blood flows more easily. Eventually, this stretching scars and weakens blood vessels throughout the body, including those in the kidneys.
If the kidneys’ blood vessels are damaged, they may stop removing wastes and extra fluid from the body. Extra fluid in the blood vessels may then raise blood pressure even more, creating a dangerous cycle.

The best way to slow or prevent kidney disease from high blood pressure is to take steps to lower blood pressure. These steps include a combination of medication and lifestyle changes, such as

healthy eating

physical activity

maintaining a healthy weight

quitting smoking

managing stress

Medication

Medications that lower blood pressure can also significantly slow the progression of kidney disease. Two types of blood pressure-lowering medications, angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), have been shown effective in slowing the progression of kidney disease. Many people require two or more medications to control their blood pressure. In addition to an ACE inhibitor or an ARB, a health care provider may prescribe a diuretic—a medication that helps the kidneys remove fluid from the blood. A person may also need beta blockers, calcium channel blockers, and other blood pressure medications.

Eating, Diet, and Nutrition

Following a healthy eating plan can help lower blood pressure. A health care provider may recommend the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) eating plan. DASH focuses on fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and other foods that are heart healthy and lower in sodium, which often comes from salt. The DASH eating plan is low in fat and cholesterol features fat-free or low-fat milk and dairy products, fish, poultry, and nuts suggests less red meat, sweets, added sugars, and sugar-containing beverages is rich in nutrients, protein, and fiber.

How to Alleviate Anemia in FSGS

In most cases, patients with FSGS often suffer from anemia. If you or someone you know is suffering some anemia, you are recommended to read the following.

Anemia is a condition in which the body has fewer red blood cells than normal. Red blood cells carry oxygen to tissues and organs throughout the body and enable them to use energy from food. With anemia, red blood cells carry less oxygen to tissues and organs—particularly the heart and brain—and those tissues and organs may not function as well as they should.

When kidneys are diseased or damaged, they do not make enough EPO. As a result, the bone marrow makes fewer red blood cells, causing anemia. When blood has fewer red blood cells, it deprives the body of the oxygen it needs.
Other common causes of anemia in people with kidney disease include blood loss from hemodialysis and low levels of the following nutrients found in food:

iron

vitamin B12

folic acid

These nutrients are necessary for red blood cells to make hemoglobin, the main oxygen-carrying protein in the red blood cells.

If treatments for kidney-related anemia do not help, the health care provider will look for other causes of anemia, including

other problems with bone marrow

inflammatory problems—such as arthritis, lupus, or inflammatory bowel disease—in which the body’s immune system attacks the body’s own cells and organs
chronic infections such as diabetic ulcers

Malnutrition

The natural treatments in Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital are provided to patients who are suffering from kidney disease. The natural treatments are Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy, Medicated Bath, Foot Bath. The natural treatments can promote blood circulation, extend blood vessels, regulate blood pressure, relive inflammation and coagulation in the blood vessels, alleviating some poisoning symptoms, including anemia.

How to Deal with Face Swelling in FSGS

FSGS patients have a common and typical symptom known as proteinuria, its occurrence is closely connected with electrostatic barrier function of the glomerulus. Glomerular electrostatic barrier in the filtration membrane is used to prevent the plasma proteins from going out, in the case of renal failure patients, they can have much proteins in the urine in inconsequence of the loss of glomerular electrostatic barrier, because plasma albumin can go through the filtration membrane free without the prevention of electrostatic barrier. The plasma colloid osmotic pressure is maintained by plasma albumin, loss of plasma albumin will lead to decrease of plasma colloid osmotic pressure and then water in blood vessel get into interstitial fluid and puff the patients up.

In the end stage of renal failure, the kidney usually has little function left, the glomerular filtration rate declined to a very low level, patients have little or no urine output, much fluid are retained in the body and make the vascular wall rise in permeability, so fluid get into the tissue space including legs, thorax, enterocoelia, etc, and cause the patients puffed up.

It is a dangerous condition for patients to be puffy and with little urine, the excess fluid can cause serious damage to systems of the whole body, patients may need to take some measures to improve it, either dialysis to get the excess fluid off, or diuretic to increase the urine output.

How to Treat FSGS by Natural Treatments

Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is a kidney disease that can lead to glomerulosclerosis. In FSGS, the scarring occurs only in some of the glomeruli. And only part of the individual glomeruli is damaged.

Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis is a cause of nephrotic syndrome in children and adolescents as well as one of the most common causes of primary glomerular diseases in adults. It is also an important cause of renal failure in adults. It accounts for about a sixth of the cases of nephrotic syndrome. Generally, FSGS is a progressive form of kidney disease, accounting for 2.3% of patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD).

Untreated, it has a greater chance to lead to kidney failure. How can we efficiently get the disease under control? Most of the FSGS patients are greatly concerned about the issue.

Before we solve the problem, firstly we should know what causes the disease. The expert from Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital tell us that there are many factors that can cause the disease such as the damaged capillary wall due to the humoral immunity, the changes of the blood stream dynamics and poisoning and so on. The damaged of the capillary wall indicates the glomerular filtration membrane begins to suffer from injuring. And then the large protein may leak out of the body into the urine and the immune complex build up in the capillary wall, resulting in the separation between the subepithelial and the glomerular basement membrane.

The western medical doctors usually use hormone drugs such as glucocorticoid to control the symptoms. But the hormone drugs only help to alleviate the symptoms for the time being and they can’t eliminate the factors that cause the renal damage. So once the patients catch a cold, or experience excessive tiredness, you may suffer from the symptoms once more. Besides long term use of the hormone drugs may cause damage to your internal organs such the liver, heart and kidneys. Therefore, the only way to make the patients avoid the relapse of the urine protein is to restore the renal function, or in other words, to repair the renal cells which affect the renal filtration system.

Hereby the experts from Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital recommend Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy to you. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy focuses on the TCM treatment on the renal diseases. In the therapy, we use Chinese herbs to repair the renal cells. The herbs processed with high technology can accurately reach the diseased areas of the kidneys with less adverse effects. It works better than the traditional Chinese herbs. Besides, we use Chinese physical therapies such as Chinese channel collaterals as the supplement to improve the clinical effects.

In addition to the repairmen of the renal cells, healthy diet also plays a significant role both in helping you recover as soon as possible and keeping the disease from progressing into the end stage renal failure, greatly improving the quality life of the patients.

How to Control High Blood pressure in FSGS

Most of patents with FSGS will suffer from elevated blood pressure, having a good control of blood pressure also slow down the progression of kidney damage.

Encourage health-promoting behaviors such as smoking cessation and physical activity. Cigarette smoking is associated with abnormal urine albumin and progression of CKD. Smoking also contributes to death from stroke and heart attack in people with CKD. Overall, step-down nicotine replacement therapy is generally safe, but the patient must be monitored for side effects, which may include worsening of existing hypertension and contact allergy or sensitization.
Although people with CKD tend to be less active, the goals for physical activity are the same as in the general population, at least 20 to 30 minutes every day. To improve or prevent deconditioning, both aerobic and strength training should be encouraged. Physical activity may help prevent cardiovascular disease, improve glucose control in those with diabetes, and maintain muscle mass.

Evidence suggests that providing self-management education to patients with chronic disease results in reduced health service utilization and improved health behaviors and health status beyond that achieved by usual care.

High blood pressure is both a cause and complication of CKD. Uncontrolled high blood pressure can accelerate the loss of GFR. Blood pressure control usually requires a combination of antihypertensive medications and lifestyle modifications.

The panel members appointed to the eighth Joint National Committee (JNC 8) recently completed an extensive review of evidence around management of hypertensive adults. Due to insufficient evidence for blood pressure goals in the CKD population, the Panel recommended treating to a blood pressure goal of less than 140/90 mm Hg for people with CKD based on expert opinion. Additionally, the panel recommended initial treatment with ACE inhibitors or ARBs for hypertensive patients with CKD. However, the Panel emphasized that the recommendations should not override clinical judgment and decisions about care should consider individual patient circumstances.

CKD patients usually have poor appetites due to the accumulated toxins in body and blood. Honey can help improve the appetite.

2. Improve sleep quality

CKD patients may have the sleep problems due to the disease, while drinking a glass of honey before sleep is good for the patients to go to sleep.

3. Regulate blood sugar

Though honey is rich in simple sugars, it is different from the white sugar. In fact, fructose and glucose can help the body regulate blood sugar levels. So it is a good choice for the patients with Diabetic Nephropathy.

4. Lower high blood pressure

The CKD patients usually are troubled by the high blood pressure due to the damaged kidney, while high blood pressure also can aggravate the illness condition. Honey is indeed a good thing for the CKD patients, because it also has the function of lowering high blood pressure.

5. Enhance immunity

Honey contains various enzyme and mineral, which can help improve the immune system for CKD patients and help them eliminate fatigue. Strong immunity can help CKD patients prevent the possible infections and protect the left kidney function.

The Health Diets for Patients with FSGS on Dialysis

what is the health diets for patients with FSGS on dialysis? If you want to know more details about the health diets for patients with FSGS, you are recommended to read the following.

When the kidneys are impaired or have failed, kidney dialysis artificially removes waste and fluids from the body. Some may need dialysis up to three times weekly, depending on the stage of their renal disease. Food provides nutrition and energy after dialysis, however the wrong foods can quickly replace the waste products just removed. Smart choices for nutrition after kidney dialysis will include foods low in salt, fluid, phosphorus and potassium.

Lean Meats

Lean meats, egg whites and low-fat cheeses provide a healthy source of protein after dialysis. These proteins, such as fish, lean cuts of beef and poultry break down creating less urea, or waste, than cheaper proteins like fatty meats. Egg white omelets with cheese or a chicken sandwich provide protein to heal tissues and restore energy after dialysis. You may want to make the meals ahead of time, thereby decreasing the temptation to grab unhealthy choices after dialysis when fatigue might set in.

Fruit

Fruit is a handy, high-energy snack that boosts energy levels after a dialysis session. The Nephrology Physicians, LLC, practicing in Mishawaka, Indiana, suggest eating fruits containing less than 150 mg of potassium like apples, berries, grapes and strawberries. However some fruits, including bananas, avocados and cantaloupe, have high amounts of potassium, which will quickly replace the toxins just removed by dialysis. Alongside potassium, low phosphorus and sodium foods provide healthy nutrition after dialysis --- all fruits are low in phosphorus and sodium.

Snacks


Renal failure is hard on the body and some people need to gain weight during dialysis. If told to increase calories for weight gain, focus on healthy calories and not the fatty, artery-clogging kind like many dairy products. A slice of toast with jam or honey is a low sodium, phosphorus and potassium snack that is high in calories. Unsalted popcorn is a snack you can keep on hand for munching after dialysis. The Nephrology Physicians, LLC encourage low potassium snacks such as cottage cheese and cereals.

How to Improve Kidney Function in FSGS

The most difficult and important step during the treatment of FSGS, so most of patients are eager to know is there any treatment to improve kidney function.
The kidneys perform many essential duties that keep humans healthy. They filter blood to remove waste, produce urine, and control blood pressure. Kidneys also regulate a number of vitamins and hormones that promote bone, tissue, and organ health. It is crucial to keep the kidneys in proper working order to ward off kidney disease and prevent numerous related health problems. There are many different ways to improve and preserve renal function, such as exercising regularly, following dietary guidelines set by a physician, and limiting the use of over-the-counter and prescription painkillers.

Making simple lifestyle changes can significantly improve renal function and overall health. By exercising regularly, giving up smoking, and maintaining a consistent sleeping pattern, the kidneys are able to better regulate hormones and vitamins in the blood. Individuals who exercise drink plenty of water, and avoid smoking are less likely to experience high blood pressure, a major cause of chronic kidney disease and renal failure. Getting enough sleep helps to reduce stress levels and stabilize the immune and digestive system.

One of the best ways to improve renal function is to maintain a healthy diet, as suggested by a physician or licensed nutritionist. Individuals' bodies have different dietary needs, so a trip to the doctor is important to determine which foods to eat and which to avoid. In most cases, doctors suggest that people at risk of kidney problems maintain a diet that is low in sugar, salt and potassium. Ingesting too much salt and potassium puts strain on the kidneys, affecting their ability to filter out waste materials. Many doctors encourage people to eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, grains, and beans, while avoiding sugary snacks that can lead to diabetes and eventual kidney disease.

A popular home remedy to improve renal function is drinking a glass or two of cranberry juice each day, while avoiding excessive amounts of caffeine and alcohol. Cranberry juice helps to cleanse the kidneys, bladder, and urinary tract by flushing out harmful bacteria. Alcohol and caffeinated drinks such as sodas dehydrate the body and increase the risk of developing high blood pressure.

The Treatment for IgA Nephropathy in China

IgA Nephropathy is common symptom of glomerular disease. If you want to know more details about the natural treatment, you can talk it with our online doctor.
IgA nephropathy is a form of glomerular disease that results when immunoglobulin A (IgA) forms deposits in the glomeruli, where it creates inflammation. IgA nephropathy was not recognized as a cause of glomerular disease until the late 1960s, when sophisticated biopsy techniques were developed that could identify IgA deposits in kidney tissue.

The most common symptom of IgA nephropathy is blood in the urine, but it is often a silent disease that may go undetected for many years. The silent nature of the disease makes it difficult to determine how many people are in the early stages of IgA nephropathy, when specific medical tests are the only way to detect it. This disease is estimated to be the most common cause of primary glomerulonephritis—that is, glomerular disease not caused by a systemic disease like lupus or diabetes mellitus. It appears to affect men more than women. Although IgA nephropathy is found in all age groups, young people rarely display signs of kidney failure because the disease usually takes several years to progress to the stage where it causes detectable complications.

No treatment is recommended for early or mild cases of IgA nephropathy when the patient has normal blood pressure and less than 1 gram of protein in a 24-hour urine output. When proteinuria exceeds 1 gram/day, treatment is aimed at protecting kidney function by reducing proteinuria and controlling blood pressure. Blood pressure medicines—angiotensin—converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE inhibitors) or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs)—that block a hormone called angiotensin are most effective at achieving those two goals simultaneously.

Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is a therapy used externally, the main materials in this therapy can penetrate into kidney lesions directly due to the external effects.

The Natural Treatments for FSGS in China

The natural treatments for FSGS in a China are Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy, Medicated Bath, Foot Bath. Hot Compress Therapy.

Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) describes scarring in scattered regions of the kidney, typically limited to one part of the glomerulus and to a minority of glomeruli in the affected region. FSGS may result from a systemic disorder or it may develop as an idiopathic kidney disease, without a known cause.
Proteinuria is the most common symptom of FSGS, but, since proteinuria is associated with several other kidney conditions, the doctor cannot diagnose FSGS on the basis of proteinuria alone. Biopsy may confirm the presence of glomerular scarring if the tissue is taken from the affected section of the kidney. But finding the affected section is a matter of chance, especially early in the disease process, when lesions may be scattered.

Confirming a diagnosis of FSGS may require repeat kidney biopsies. Arriving at a diagnosis of idiopathic FSGS requires the identification of focal scarring and the elimination of possible systemic causes such as diabetes or an immune response to infection. Since idiopathic FSGS is, by definition, of unknown cause, it is difficult to treat. No universal remedy has been found, and most patients with FSGS progress to total kidney failure over 5 to 20 years. Some patients with an aggressive form of FSGS reach total kidney failure in 2 to 3 years. Treatments involving steroids or other immunosuppressive drugs appear to help some patients by decreasing proteinuria and improving kidney function. But these treatments are beneficial to only a minority of those in whom they are tried, and some patients experience even poorer kidney function as a result. ACE inhibitors and ARBs may also be used in FSGS to decrease proteinuria. Treatment should focus on controlling blood pressure and blood cholesterol levels, factors that may contribute to kidney scarring.

The natural treatments can help patients control the condition by improving kidney function. It also can promote the excretion of the surface of kidney cysts. The natural treatments can dilate blood vessels, promote the blood circulation, dredge extracellular matrix, eliminate the toxic substances completely, recover their normal function.

Can patients with FSGS Keep Away from Dialysis

Can patients with FSGS keep away form dialysis? This is a question which concerns patients and their family member a lot.

Focal segmental glomerulo-sclerosis is the terminology for a kind of clinical pathological syndrome, with main clinical manifestation as proteinuria. In the case of FSGS, partial of glomerulus run into sclerosing lesion, or the glomerular capillaries are partially hardened. Mostly the FSGS advances progressively and slowly, finally lead to renal failure, some patients can develop renal failure fast. It is likely that once people are diagnosed with FSGS, they will be left to do dialysis as the only way to keep alive.

The current treatment of FSGS mainly contains hormonotherapy and immunosuppressive therapy, which are done according to symptoms, medicines include cyclosporin, metacortandracin, ACEI, ARBs, when they have been used for long term, they will bring great toxicity to the kidney, patients can result in dependence on them, they may come across strong withdrawal reaction. To patients who don’t respond to them, the therapy can do nothing to stop the patients from developing renal failure. The long-acting treatment is aimed at protecting the glomerulus from being damaged, and preventing the partially damaged glomerular capillary loops from running into fibrosis. Patients usually have over half of the glomerulus in good condition, they are enough to fulfill the function of discharging waste substances if they can be protected well, and patients will not go to the stage of renal failure and to do dialysis.

Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is a therapy which is put forward by specialists from Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital, it is based on individual pathology and condition, one patient with on specific therapy which can effectively stop the disease from advancing, also it can accurately and fastly repair the damaged cells, restore the function partially or fully, finally improve the kidney function and prevent the FSGS from relapsing effectively.

FSGS is relatively a more stubborn disease than other kind of glomerular diseases, but it is not real that it can’t be controlled, it is important for patients to get the regulate treatment, which can make them get rid of dialysis and hormonotherapy.

How to Deal with Poroteinuria and Hematuia in FSGS

Proteiuria and hematuria are the two common symptoms of FSGS, how to deal with proteinuria and hematuira concerns patients a lot? If you have the same doubt, you are recommended to read the following.

Proteinuria or protein in the urine is frequently the earliest symptom of kidney disease. You will have read, in the previous section, how the kidney works and that the kidney has about a million filters. When the kidney is healthy it allows very little protein into the urine. If these filters become leaky, small amounts of protein will leak into the urine. This is frequently an early sign of kidney trouble long before the kidney function itself begins to deteriorate.

dipstickDoctors frequently test patient’s urine for the presence of blood or protein, to try to detect kidney disease early. There are many causes of protein in the urine, including diabetes and glomerulonephritis. Whilst your doctor will conduct a number of special blood tests, to try to determine the underlying cause, it may be necessary to undergo a kidney biopsy, to establish the exact cause of the protein.

Patients who have very large amounts of protein in the urine, (greater than 3 grams), are described as having nephrotic syndrome. Patients with nephrotic syndrome frequently have swollen legs.

Haematuria or blood in the urine can either be present in amounts that you can see (macrascopic) or in amounts that you cannot see (microscopic) in which it is only detected with urine testing. Blood in the urine may not appear red but more like strong tea coloured.

Blood in the urine is frequently an alarming symptom and it should never be ignored. However, it only takes a few drops of blood for the urine to turn red. There are a large number of potential causes of blood in the urine including: urine infection, kidney stones, kidney or bladder tumours and inflammation in the kidney called glomerulonephritis (GN).

If you have haematuria, the first thing your doctor will do is to make sure you do not have a urine infection or bladder or kidney tumour. To do this, you will usually need to have a number of scans of the kidney and may well need a cystoscopy. A cystoscopy is a test in which a camera with a light is inserted into the bladder. If these tests are normal your doctor will then focus on determining if the blood is coming from kidney inflammation or glomerulonephritis. This may require further specific blood and urine tests or a kidney biopsy.

Can Patients with Kidney Failure Eat Mushroom

Mushroom has been considered one of the high protein and low fat foods. Eating mushroom is daily diet is able for patients keep sufficient nutrition in their health.

While, is mushroom proper for patients with kidney failure. the renal experts from Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital. You can talk it with our online doctor.

1. Mushroom can discharge toxins out of body.

The rough fiber, semi cellulose and lignin in the mushroom is able to keep the intestinal moisture and also discharge excess cholesterol and sugar out of your body. For this, mushroom contributes to the prevention of constipation, colorectal and arteriosclerosis. Besides, diabetes patients can eat mushrooms moderately.

2. Mushrooms are rich in vitamin D.

Vitamin D is very abundant in mushrooms, which is beneficial to the health of bone. We know healthy kidneys can keep balance of electrolytes such as phosphorus and calcium, while injured kidneys cannot excrete excess phosphorus out of the body, easily causing high phosphorus level. High phosphorus level will stop the absorption of calcium. In this condition, calcium is low in your body, which may lead to many bone problems such as bone pain and bine fracture. Eating mushroom can supplement some calcium to alleviate bone pain.

3. Improve your body’s immunity

Some ingredients can enhance the function of lymphocytes. Thereafter, your immune function fighting against various diseases will be increased. For diseases causing by low immunity or immune system disorder such as IgA Nephropathy, Lupus Nephritis, increased immunity can reduce the risk for this kind of disease, so patients can eat some mushrooms to increase their immunity to prevent diseases from occurring.

Besides, mushrooms can also lower high blood pressure effectively. For the above healthy benefits, renal failure patients can eat some mushrooms. However, they should eat them with proper amount and depend on their own illness conditions to decide whether they can eat it or not.

The Health Diet for Patients with FSGS

The health diet contributes a lot to reduce the kidney damage and save the residual kidney function. Therefore, patients should keep a keep a health diet plant for patients with FSGS.

1. Eat low-salt foods

Salt is the rich source of sodium. High sodium has a bad effect on the health, especially the damaged kidneys. High sodium is considered to be the contributor of swelling and high blood pressure. It will lead to water-sodium retention, which will increase swelling. High blood pressure can be a primary disease and a complication of FSGS. It can worsen the damage of kidneys. So you are suggested to avoid high-sodium foods, such as processed foods, canned foods, fast foods and restaurant foods.

2. Eat low-protein foods

High-protein foods will increase the burden of kidney because protein will break down into some waste products like urea nitrogen, which should be filtered out by kidneys. Meanwhile, you should supply yourself high-quality foods because they can generate less waste product and provide you enough nutritions you need. High-quality foods include egg white, lean meat, fish and dairy products.

3. Eat low-potassium foods

Because of glomerulus damage, the extra potassium cannot be filtered. So some patients are tested with high level of potassium. High potassium level will lead to nausea, weakness, irregular pulse and heart problem. So you should avoid high-potassium foods to reduce kidney and other damage. Such foods are rich in potassium like banana, apple, orange, spinach, cucumber, corn, eggplant, etc.

Above are just some systematic diet suggestions. The detailed diet plan should be set up according to the every patients’ practical disease condition.

The Treatment for Kidney Failure

Kidney failure is a progressive kidney disease in which all of patients will suffer from the common symptom. So patients are eager to know the treatment for kidney failure.

Kidney failure can be a gradual process and symptoms may not be seen until the disease is very advanced. Kidney failure occurs when the kidneys are no longer able to remove waste and maintain fluid balance in the body. Without some form of treatment, this would result in death. The two types of treatment for kidney failure are dialysis or transplantation.

There are two different kinds of dialysis: hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis. During hemodialysis, tubes connect the patient to a machine that filters the blood. Hemodialysis is usually done three times a week for 3-4 hours each time. It is usually done at a dialysis center, although in some cases families can be trained to do the treatment at home. People on hemodialysis must adhere to a strict diet, restrict their fluid intake and may feel unwell especially after dialysis.

Peritoneal dialysis uses the abdominal cavity membrane called the peritoneal membrane to filter the blood. During this type of dialysis, a tube is placed permanently into the abdomen. During treatment, a fluid called dialysate is infused into the abdominal cavity. Waste and extra fluid move into the dialysate and after a few hours, the fluid is drained out. This is called an exchange. Patients can do 4-5 exchanges per day, or the exchanges may be done at night with the help of a machine that cycles the exchanges while the person is sleeping.
Kidney transplantation is the third option for people with chronic kidney failure. In a kidney transplant, the donated kidney is surgically placed in the lower abdominal area and replaces the function of the natural kidneys. The patient’s own kidneys are usually left in place. The recipient of a kidney transplant must take medicine for the life of the transplanted kidney to prevent rejection. Kidney transplant recipients must also follow strict schedules for lab testing and doctor visits.

How to Deal with Kidney Failure without Kidney Transplantation

End stage renal disease means the end stage of all kinds of chronic kidney disease, which is similar to the concept of uremia. When patients get kidney failure, their doctor may suggest them to receive kidney transplant, however, is kidney transplant the only option for kidney failure patients?

Kidney transplant is the last choice for kidney failure patients, after kidney transplant, except for various kind of complications, the patients should take anti-rejection drugs for all their life. So as long as the patients have urine output, they had better not to do kidney transplant.

Urine output means remaining kidney function, the key point of the kidney failure treatment is protecting remaining kidney function. But how to do this? In Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital, a new treatment for kidney failure have figured out which called Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy.

The treatment combine traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine, which can improve glomerular basement membrane permeability to promote body metabolism, accelerate the circulation of blood, repair the diseased gene and cells, ameliorate the hemodynamics of the rest renal, keep the glomerular sclerosis and renal interstitial fibrosis from bad to worse, duly improve kidney function.
Kidney transplant needs careful consideration, patients with kidney failure should chose the best for themselves and take the responsibility what they make.

how to Avoid Dialysis in FSGS

Dialysis makes patients to suffer from a lot, is there any treatment to avoid dialysis in FSGS.

Focal segmental glomerulo-sclerosis is the terminology for a kind of clinical pathological syndrome, with main clinical manifestation as proteinuria. In the case of FSGS, partial of glomerulus run into sclerosing lesion, or the glomerular capillaries are partially hardened. Mostly the FSGS advances progressively and slowly, finally lead to renal failure, some patients can develop renal failure fast. It is likely that once people are diagnosed with FSGS, they will be left to do dialysis as the only way to keep alive.

The current treatment of FSGS mainly contains hormonotherapy and immunosuppressive therapy, which are done according to symptoms, medicines include cyclosporin, metacortandracin, ACEI, ARBs, when they have been used for long term, they will bring great toxicity to the kidney, patients can result in dependence on them, they may come across strong withdrawal reaction. To patients who don’t respond to them, the therapy can do nothing to stop the patients from developing renal failure. The long-acting treatment is aimed at protecting the glomerulus from being damaged, and preventing the partially damaged glomerular capillary loops from running into fibrosis. Patients usually have over half of the glomerulus in good condition, they are enough to fulfill the function of discharging waste substances if they can be protected well, and patients will not go to the stage of renal failure and to do dialysis.

Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is the combination of Traditional Chinese Medicine and latest technologies, accompanied with western medicines as adjuvant therapy, the therapy is put forward by specialists from Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital, it is based on individual pathology and condition, one patient with on specific therapy which can effectively stop the disease from advancing, also it can accurately and fastly repair the damaged cells, restore the function partially or fully, finally improve the kidney function and prevent the FSGS from relapsing effectively.

FSGS is relatively a more stubborn disease than other kind of glomerular diseases, but it is not real that it can’t be controlled, it is important for patients to get the regulate treatment, which can make them get rid of dialysis and hormonotherapy.

How to Eliminate Ammonia Tate in Kidney Failure

Ammonia taste is common symptom for patients with kidney failure. Is there any treatment to eliminate the ammonia taste in kidney failure? This article will explain it in details.

The symptom may be referred to in different words by the patients themselves, such as fertilizer taste, foul smell, etc. The odor changes with the illness condition, getting worse when the disease gets serious and alleviates when the illness condition is better. Well then, why the patients with Uremia experience ammonia odor? How to relieve the symptom?

Why kidney failure causes ammonia odor?

In Uremia, ammonia odor is associated with high levels of blood urea nitrogen(BUN) in bloodstream. Blood urea nitrogen, a wasteful product of proteins, is normally removed by the kidneys. When the kidneys are not functioning well, blood urea nitrogen will accumulate in the body. The excess urea will be decomposed into ammonia under the effect of urea enzymes in gastrointestinal tract. Ammonia will be discharged through oral cavity to cause the bad odor. In addition, high BUN in saliva can also be decomposed into ammonia to make the symptom even worse. BUN running through pulmonary circulation to be discharged through respiration also contributes to the symptom.

How to relieve ammonia odor in kidney failure?

Controlling your intake of proteins as prescribed by doctors and dietitians based on your condition is essential for controlling high BUN in blood and stopping the symptom from getting worse. At the meantime, start to make some small changes for oral health to make the symptom better. Rinse your mouth with a solution of one cup of water and one teaspoon of salt; after rising, spit out the solution. In addition, brush or scrape your tongue with a tongue cleaner. Because your tongue is directly posed to ammonia, scraping the layers will reduce or eliminate the symptom. As for reduction of high blood urea nitrogen, traditional Chinese medicine treatment may be a better option. Chinese herbs have known functions including expanding blood vessels, reducing blood stasis and accelerating blood circulation, so it may help to discharge elevated toxins and reduce ammonia odor.

The Common Complications of FSGS

Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is a kidney disease that can lead to kidney failure, which also may have some possible complications. Then, do you know the possible complications of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis?

1. Acute kidney failure

The onset of acute kidney failure has close connection with deficiency of renal blood flow and sudden drop of glomerular filtration rate. If treated timely, the condition can be reversed. Otherwise, it may progress into chronic kidney failure.

2. Infections

Infections are the common complications of FSGS, and mostly are respiratory tract infection, urinary tract infection, etc. And the occurrence is related to loss of protein, malnutrition, immune dysfunction and application of glucocorticoids. If not treated early or poorly controlled, the disorder may relapse easily. In serious case, patients’ life may be threatened. Thereby, great attention should be paid by the patients and doctors.

3. Thrombus

Due to increased blood viscosity, loss of certain proteins and so on, thrombus can come into being. If left uncontrolled, high blood pressure and other cardiovascular diseases may bring great harm to the patients.

4. Malnutrition

As the filtering units became damaged, more and more useful substances like protein will leak into urine. Proteins are good sources of nutrients. And the shortage of protein can make FSGS patients more susceptible to malnutrition. And that’s why children with FSGS may present development delay.
