When kidney disease develops into renal failure stage, kidney will fail to
work and patients consider kidney transplant and think this is the only way for
renal failure.
Firstly, kidney transplant is really a way for kidney failure, which can help
patients survive for a long time. However, as we all know, a donated kidney is
so difficult to find out. Even though somebody would like to be a volunteer, the
kidney should match the patient’ kidney. In addition, the transplant operation
has risk. The transplanted kidney also has certain lifespan. When it fails to
work, patients with renal failure should also find another solution.
Secondly, renal failure patients can choose dialysis, which is a common
method widely used in western countries. However, more and more patients realize
that dialysis can only help discharge the toxins and can not treat kidney
disease for once kidney failure takes place, there must be damaged renal units.
If they only use dialysis, there will be more and more damaged renal units,
which may even make them miss the best treatment opportunity. In addition,
patients will not stop dialysis if it lasts for too long.
Thirdly, patients can choose Chinese Medicine and stem cell transplant, the
combination of which is still the characteristic treatment in our Hospital. As
we know, in renal failure stage, there must be three kinds of intrinsic cells in
the kidney, which are healthy ones, damaged ones and necrotic ones. The
proportion of damaged ones and necrotic ones take account more. One the basis of
this, we reached the combination therapy of Chinese Medicine and stem cell
transplant.
Stem cell can repair the damaged intrinsic cells after entering into human
bodies. It can also differentiate into the necrotic ones, which proves that stem
cell can revive renal function, and makes the kidney work as well as before.
Compared with western medicine, stem cell has advantages.
1. Stem cell therapy can enter kidney nidus and then play roles and has no
side effect.
2. Stem cell can generate capillary blood vessels and improve partial
micro-circulation.
3. It can secrete a series of nutritious stimulating factors, which activates
the damaged intrinsic cells and makes them recover.
4. Improve the damaged immunologic function.
Usually, before stem cells are transplanted, they use Chinese Medicine, which
can improve the blood circulation and stop the insufficiency of blood and oxygen
in the kidney, thus creating a good environment for the transplant of stem
cell.
So from the above, we can find out that kidney transplant is not the only
method to treat kidney failure. If you still have any questions, please consult
us on line or leave a message.

Can Reduced Kidney Function Be Reversed?
Can reduced kidney function be reversed? Some patients with renal failure is
concerned about this question. Generally, in most of the countries, renal
function is tested with GFR, which is the short form of glomerular filtration
rate. Normally, healthy persons’ GFR is 80 to 120 mg/ dL. Clinically, chronic
kidney disease is divided into 5 stages according to the level of glomerular
filtration rate. Generally, when GFR decreases to less than 15 mg/ dL, chronic
kidney disease patients develop into advanced stage of kidney failure: uremia
stage. And at this time, patients will be concerned whether they can be reversed
or not.
Experts Chen in our Hospital points out that as long as glomerular filtration rate is more than 5, and patients still have urine, it proves that there is still blood which flows through kidney. In this case, Chinese Medicine can reach kidney with blood flow, which contains active herbs, which can promote the blood circulation and dissolve the blood stasis, creating a good inner environment and repairing the damaged intrinsic cells.
Next, if there are still necrotic ones which influences the repair of the renal structure and function, patients will be suggested to take stem cell transplant, which can differentiate into previous necrotic cells.
Last but not least, at present, both Chinese Medicine and stem cell both parts of immunotherapy in our hospital. In addition, both of them can also increase the immune ability of patients. As we mentioned before, most kidney diseases are related to immune. The whole immune therapy is a combination of western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine, which can be divided into 6 steps: scientific diagnosis, immune inhibition, immune tolerance, immune adjustment, immune protection and immune clearance.
We have confidence that with this method, reduced kidney function can be reversed. For more information, please consult us or leave a message.

End-Stage Renal Failure due to Lupus Treatment
Lupus nephritis is a kidney disorder caused by SLE (systemic lupus
erythematosus) which can lead to end-stage renal failure. It is a condition in
which your kidneys fail to remove wastes and fluid from the blood. If you are
suffering end-stage renal failure due to lupus, what is the available end-stage
renal failure due to lupus treatment?
Conventional treatments
● Maintenance hemodialysis
During maintenance hemodialysis, patients obviate multiple thromb on account of smooth bloodstream. It tackles a difficult problem in patients with end-stage renal failure due to lupus. In some cases, it is closely related to APLA (anti-phospholipid antibody) while others who have thromb are related to endothelial cell dysfunction. Fortunately, patients with end-stage renal failure due to lupus response well to dialysis – hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis.
● Kidney transplant
The donor for lupus nephritis is a little different from non-lupus nephritis, which increases the difficulties in the course of treatment. Thromb which occurs during dialysis is the main problem in the patients after kidney transplant especially in patients with APLA. A survey finds that 4 in 8 patients with APLA develop thromb after kidney transplant while 5 patients without APLA don’t develop thromb.
The relapse of lupus nephritis after transplant is boring especially lupus being active although kidney transplant in lupus patients is characterized by the low relapse rate. The causes of relapsing lupus nephritis are still unknown. There is no need to adjust immune suppression drugs. Some studies show that the prognosis of end-stage renal failure due to lupus is poor.
Alternative treatments
● Plasmapheresis
Plasmapheresis is a new technique available to treat lupus nephritis which is characterized by removal of toxic substances in the bloodstream, fast alleviation of symptoms, prolong the life span in some degree.
Plasmahperesis is able to remove the toxic substances which promote the progress of kidney disease or lupus, including:
CIC (circulating immune complex)
Anti-ds-DNA antibody
ANA (antinuclear antibody)
ACLA (anticardiolipin antibody)
Blood coagulation factor
In addition, C3 and C4 can be replenished with refresh frozen plasma. Finally, the goal of treatment can be achieved.
● Immunotherapy
Since lupus is an autoimmune disease, the disorder of immune system causes a lot of complications including lupus nephritis. Immunotherapy is such treatment that aims to regulate the immune system, rebuild the immune system and restore the kidneys.
Immunotherapy is a comprehensive therapy which is composed of all kinds of therapies such as traditional Chinese medicine, immunosuppressive agents with low side effects, blood purification and medication bath etc. After a battery of tests, doctors will meet and discuss the best treatment which may include more than one therapies.
If you are diagnosed with end-stage renal failure due to lupus or you are seeking the end-stage renal failure due to lupus treatments, we are here to help you.

Can FSGS Be Cured in Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital
The main cause of FSGS is that glomerular epithelia has been damaged. It is
an auto-immune disease. When our immunity is low, it is easy to form the immune
disorder, and the immune disorder lead to the immune response. And then too many
complexes such as the IGM,C3 deposited in the kidney, leading to the poor blood
and oxygen of the kidney then damage the epithelial cells. When the glomerular
epithelia is damaged, it will affect the barrier function then leads to the
leakage of large amounts of protein and red blood cells. What is more, the
damaged epithelia will bring the inflammatory factor, then it will accelerate
the damaged kidney. So if we want to treat FSGS thoroughly, we must block the
immune reaction and repair the damaged renal epithelia cells.
Firstly, we use medicine clear away the complex such as IGM,C3 depositing in the kidney. For patients with FSGS, the condition is relatively serious than other diseases such as minimal change. In FSGS stage, there have been necrotic cells. So in this stage, patients need 2 times of plasma exchange.
Then, immune adjustment and immune clearance are applied. Plasma exchange can only help clear away the circulating immune complex. In immune adjustment, Chinese medicine is applied, which can clear away those deposit in the kidney, thus stopping immune reaction from root.
In the immune protection stage, traditional Chinese herbal Medicine is applied, which contains natural herbs and so on can repair the damaged intrinsic cells in the kidney such as epithelia cells in the course of immune reaction.
The above mentioned are all about the immunotherapy in our Hospital to treat FSGS. Strictly speaking, it can be divided into 6 steps.

Which Fish Is Suitable for Kidney Disease Patients?
Fish contains a variety of good quality protein, fish oil, which is good for
us, especially for the growth of brain. Fish is popular in the world. Especially
in Jingzhou, China, it is a custom that fish dish is the essential one on the
table when honored guests come to visit and we treat them.
However, after diagnosed with kidney disease, can patients eat fish as usual? For those who have no symptoms and increased serum creatinine, they can choose fish, which can supply protein.
Especially for nephrotic syndrome patients, they lost a lot of protein in urine and should choose food to supply. They can choose fresh water fish such as carp, which helps diminish edema or swelling and crucian, which contains lots of nutrition.
However, if the kidney disease is nephritis of Schonlein-Henoch purpura or lupus nephritis, patients should be cautious. Many patients with Schonlein-Henoch purpura and lupus nephritis will have allergic reaction after eating them, which will worsen the allergy. For those people, if they want to take in more protein, they can choose other food such as milk, lean meat, egg white, and so on.

Food Principle for Patients with Kidney Disorder
After people are diagnosed with kidney disorder, people always seek for some
food principle as well as the effective treatment. Generally, patients with
kidney disorder should pay attention to the following aspects: low potassium,
low phosphorus, low fat, low salt, low protein and high vitamin.
1. low potassium.
Food which is rich in potassium is such as mushroom, tomatoes, sweet tomatoes, cabbage, date, bananas, oranges, apricot, spinach, and so on.
2. low salt. Food which is rich in salt is such as aginomoto, sauce, salted vegetables, and so on. In addition, those who have edema or can not control high blood pressure should not take in salt.
3. low phosphorus. Food which is rich in phosphorus is such as sea food, sea plant, kelp, internal organs, tea, and egg yellow, etc.
4. low fat. When we cook, we had better use plant oil and avoid animal oil.
5. low protein and good quality protein. Patients with kidney disorder should take in egg white, milk, lean meat and so on, which contains good quality protein. In addition, plant protein should be avoided at the same time such as beans, and peanut, seeds and nuts should also be avoided.
6. high vitamin. Food which is rich in vitamin is mainly fruit such as pears, apples, tomatoes and so on.

Can Kidney Disease Patients Have Apples?
Can kidney disease patients have apples? “An apple a day keeps the doctor
away”. “An apple a day keeps kidney stone away”. There are many saying which say
apples are good for our body. If we are diagnosed with kidney disease, can we
have apples as usual? Yes. Apples do not contain so much sugar, which is
suitable for patients with diabetes. Apples do not contain so much water, which
is acceptable for kidney disease patients with edema. In addition, apples also
do not contain rich sodium, phosphorus and potassium, so even in advanced stage
of kidney disease, we can have apples, in which, people will suffer from
disorder of electrolyte and people will have high sodium, phosphorus and
potassium.
However, some fruits are not suitable for kidney disease patients. For example, bananas should be limited for patients with diabetes and diabetic nephropathy, especially for those who have developed into uremia stage. Watermelon is not suitable for those who have edema, which will worsen edema.
