Stage 3 CKD: Symptoms, Diet, and Treatment
Patients with stage 3 chronic kidney disease (CKD) has moderate kidney damage. In this stage, the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) of patient is 30-59 mL/min. With the decline of kidney function, patients will suffer a lot of symptoms. And without a timely treatment, there will be many wastes retention in blood, causing a series of symptoms and complications, such as high blood pressure, anemia (a shortage of red blood cells) ,bone disease and so on. Now we will introduce you some suggestions which is helpful for you to treat stage 3 CKD.
Symptoms of stage 3 CKD
§ Fatigue
§ Fluid retention, swelling (edema) of extremities and shortness of breath:
§ Urination changes (foamy; dark orange, brown, tea-colored or red if it contains blood; and urinating more or less than normal)
§ Kidney pain felt in their back
§ Sleep problemsdue to muscle cramps or restless legs
Diet for stage 3 CKD
§ Eating high-quality protein and potassium (if blood levels are above normal)
§ Consuming a some grains, fruits and vegetables (potassium and phosphorus are at normal levels)
§ Limiting phosphorus to help PTH levels remain normal, prevent bone disease and even preserve existing kidney function
§ Lowering calcium consumption
§ Cutting back carbohydrates for those with diabetes
§ Decreasing saturated fats to help lower cholesterol
§ Lowering sodium for people with high blood pressure or fluid retention by cutting out processed and pre-packaged foods
§ Limiting calcium if blood levels are too high
Taking water soluble vitamins such as C (100 mg per day) and B complex, or completely
The treatment for Stage 3 CKD
For stage 3 CKD patients still in a reversed period, a timely and effective treatment is very necessary for them. So Stage 3 CKD patients can have a try of our Traditional Chinese Medicine. The most famous of it is the Chinese Herbs which can promote blood circulation and dissolve the blood clots effectively, making sure the blood flowing into kidney is health and smooth. So that the ultra immune response on kidney can be blocked, and the wastes and clots can be cleaned with the metabolism of blood circulation. More important, the herbs can provide the kidney with nutrition, repairing the injured kidney innate cells and improve the kidney function.
In addition, a healthy lifestyle is helpful for stage 3 CKD patients to control the development of their disease, such as excises regularly can boost immune systems , quitting smoking also is good.
And if you want to know more about the diet, symptoms and treatments for stage 3 CKD, you can send email to kidneyhospitalabroad@hotmail.com, we will reply within 24 hours.

Traditional Chinese medicines for Lupus Nephritis with High Creatinine Level
What is lupus?
Systemic lupus erythemotosus (SLE) is a kind of chronic inflammatory disease, which can attack many tissues of the body such as skin, heart, lungs, joints, nervous system, blood vessels and kidneys. In a word, it can cause damage to whole body.
While a healthy immune system produces antibodies to fight against bacteria and other infections, an autoimmune disease like lupus prevents antibodies from working properly. With lupus, the antibodies are no longer able to tell the difference between harmful foreign substances and the body’s own healthy cells and tissue. As a result, the immune system “attacks” its own body parts, causing varying degrees of inflammation and organ damage.
How lupus affects the kidneys
The kidneys are especially vulnerable for people with lupus. Varying degrees of inflammation caused by the disease can result in lupus nephritis and even kidney failure.
Lupus nephritis is the medical term for kidney disease that occurs in SLE patients. With this disease, the tiny filters in the kidneys are damaged resulting in a loss of kidney function and high creatinine level which is the common indicator to show your kidney function. This may lead to fluid retention with weight gain and swelling, called edema. Puffiness in the legs, ankles and/or fingers is often the first complaint of lupus nephritis patients. Other than edema, there are very few signs or symptoms. Lupus nephritis does not produce pain in the abdomen or back, or burning during urination.
It’s important to be aware that not all kidney problems in lupus patients are caused by lupus nephritis. Urinary tract infections occur frequently in lupus patients and require antibiotic treatment.
Similarly, medications used for treating lupus may produce signs of kidney disease that could be confused with lupus nephritis.

The Natural treatment for IgA Nephropathy
IgA Nephropathy is a relatively common kidney disease. It affects millions of
people worldwide. It is a disease that affects the filters, or glomeruli, of the
kidneys. IgA is characterized by the hematuria it causes, which just means blood
in the urine. This blood may be visible to the naked eye or only seen under a
microscope. Over time this disease can damage the kidney’s ability to clean the
blood properly. Most people with this disease lose kidney function very slowly,
or not at all.
IgA Nephropathy is named for the deposits of IgA that can be seen stuck in the kidney filters when viewed under a microscope. IgA is an immunoglobulin- a normal component of a healthy immune system. These components normally attach themselves to infection in the body and trigger the immune response. This works to eliminate the infection. In this disease, a defective form of IgA gets bound to another IgA molecule instead of an infection. This forms an immune complex. This immune complex can become stuck in the kidney. Here it activates the immune system just like it would if it were fighting off infection. The immune system activation causes swelling and damage to the kidney itself. This disease may be suspected from certain symptoms (see below). However, a diagnosis of IgA Nephropathy requires a kidney biopsy. The sample of kidney can then be viewed under a microscope and the diagnosis confirmed.
This disease is common, but there is no single treatment about which all doctors agree. This is in part because of the disease tends to progress very slowly, if at all. Many of the drugs that could be used in treatment can be very harmful.
It is generally accepted that blood pressure control and limiting the amount of protein in the urine are of primary importance. Both of these goals can often be accomplished with the use of two types of blood pressure medications. ACE-inhibitors (angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors) and ARBs (angiotensin II receptor blockers) both help to reduce blood pressure. Another commonly used agent is Fish Oil. Studies do not agree on its true benefit. However, its lack of serious side-effects leads many doctors to recommend it.
This disease is essentially an over-activation of the immune system. Therefore, many immunosuppressive drugs have been tried with varying success. The most widely used are steroids, given either through a needle, by mouth, or both for at least 6 months.
IgA often progresses slowly. Doctors may simply follow some patients with normal renal function and minimal protein in the urine without starting any therapy at all. It is the disease’s generally slow progression that has made it difficult for doctors to decide on the one “best” treatment.
Micro-Chinese Medicine Osotherapy is a external application it takes effects on expending blood vessels and speed up blood circulation, so as to improve the kidney function. If you want to know more, you can send email to kidneyhospitalabroad@hotmail.com

The Natural Treatment for Hypertensive Nephropahthy with High Creatinine Level
Patients with Hypertensive Nephropathy with high creatinine level always suffer from high blood
pressure. This article will explain some details about treatment for
Hypertensive Nephropathy.
Natural Treatment for Kidney Disease: Don’t add any sodium if people have Hypertensive Nephropathy. Sodium will raise the blood pressure which in turn will damage vessels in the kidneys. Also, extra sodium will make the body retain water, putting stress on the heart to work harder. Sodium is in many products like canned goods, chips, soups … so be careful and make sure to read all ingredient labels.
Natural Treatment for Kidney Disease: Avoid tomatoes and potatoes. They have higher amounts of potassium. In hypertensive nephropathy potassium may become elevated because one of the jobs of the kidneys is to regulate potassium levels. Therefore, these two foods should be avoided.
Natural Treatment for Kidney Disease: Eat a high fiber diet and take fiber supplements. Fiber has been proven to improve kidney disease and specifically, hypertensive nephropathy. Fiber can take away the harmful kidney destroying toxins. People will not only feel better by taking more fiber in their diet but will see the improving kidney function on their blood test.
Introducing The All Natural Kidney Health & Kidney Function Restoration Program for stopping and even reversing hypertensive nephropathy. Kidney disease sufferer discusses the natural treatment for kidney disease and especially kidney damage from high blood pressure.

The basic knowledge of Diabetic Nephropahty
Many people with Diabetes have a high risk develop into Diabetic Nephroapthy,
How does it happen and what are the common symptoms of it ? Let’s have a look
together.
Diabetes, particularly type 2 diabetes, has become so common that diabetic kidney disease (nephropathy) has leaped ahead of high blood pressure as the leading cause of kidney failure in much of the world.
Kidney failure is a serious matter: The kidneys’ job is to filter waste products and excess fluids from the blood circulating through our bodies. If the kidneys fail, survival depends on either dialysis or a kidney transplant.
High blood glucose levels can damage blood vessels all over the body, including the tiny blood vessels that do the kidneys’ filtering. When those tiny vessels are damaged, they can’t do the job correctly. High blood pressure can result and make the problem worse, damaging more blood vessels and speeding up the progression of kidney disease. Both kidneys are affected.
There are no symptoms in the early stages of diabetic kidney disease. Symptoms of kidney failure—fatigue, nausea and fluid retention—usually don’t occur until the late stages of kidney disease because the kidney can still adequately filter the blood even after extensive damage.
Usually the first sign that the kidneys’ filtration system is damaged is an excess amount of protein in the urine, known as microalbuminuria. This is not just an early sign of kidney disease, but a well-established risk factor for cardiovascular disease, such as heart attack and stroke.
Two tests—one using urine and the other blood—must be performed annually for early detection. The urine sample is used to screen for microalbuminuria. The standard urine dipstick used in doctors’ offices does not measure this—a special machine is required instead.
The blood sample is used to measure the level of creatinine, a substance normally present in the blood, which increases if your kidneys are not functioning properly. The blood sample results are then plugged into a formula that estimates your kidneys’ filtering capacity. The most commonly used formula is called the MDRD equation.
One cannot overemphasize how important it is to measure your blood creatinine and to use the MDRD equation to estimate total kidney filtering. The creatinine value alone can be misleading, as it must be interpreted within the context of age and gender. Patients often have more advanced kidney disease than their blood creatinine value alone suggests.
For this reason, the National Kidney Foundation strongly urges all physicians to use the MDRD equation; however, not all (besides kidney specialists) routinely use it. An accurate estimate of your kidney function is essential for your doctor to decide what, if anything, needs to be done.
With aggressive treatment and yearly testing, we can greatly slow the decline in kidney function and reduce the number of people developing kidney failure.

Diabetes and Chronic Kidney Disease
what is the relationship of Diabetes and Chronic Kidney Disease?
Kidney disease is common among patients with Type 2 diabetes and hypertension. It is characterized by a persistent and usually progressive decline in renal function as measured by glomerular filtration rate and/or albuminuria. Given the rise in the incidence of obesity, Type 2 diabetes and hypertension, the associated incidence of diabetic nephropathy has reached epidemic proportions in industrialized nations. Treatment of patients with diabetic nephropathy (DN) includes treatment of the underlying Type 2 diabetes and hypertension. Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) are commonly prescribed to control hypertension and slow the progression of DN. Nevertheless, about 20% of patients eventually progress to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and require hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, or renal transplant. Therefore, we believe an unmet medical need for safe and convenient treatments to retard or reverse the progression of DN persists.
Diabetic Nephropathy is a kind of Kidney disease from long-standing diabetes. Diabetes affects the tiny blood vessels in the glomerulus, a key structure in the kidney composed of capillary blood vessels. This structure is critical for blood filtration. Features of diabetic nephropathy include nephrotic syndrome, which is characterized by excessive protein in the urine, high blood pressure, and progressively impaired kidney function. With severe diabetic nephropathy, kidney failure, end-stage renal disease requiring kidney dialysis or a kidney transplant may result. Also known as intercapillary glomerulonephritis, Kimmelstiel-Wilson disease, and Kimmelstiel-Wilson syndrome.
Diabetes can progress into Chronic Kidney Disease for a few years, if you happen to have Diabetes, you should seek for proper treatment to treat it. If you can treat it in the best opportunity, there will be difficult to treat it in advanced stage.
