Best Treatment for Minimal Change Kidney Disease

To solve the problem, we should firstly figure out what is Minimal Change Kidney Disease, prognosis, how western medicine treat it and what’s the latest treatment in our hospital.
1.Pathological level:
Minimal change is the first level of IgA Nephropathy, according to histological classification method of WHO. In this level, glomeruli are normal under the light microscopy and only a few parts appear to have slight broadening of mesangial area, with or without mesangial cells' proliferation.
2. Prognosis:
If not treated well and timely, minimal change kidney disease will develop into the second level: mild change. More than half of the glomeruli appear normal and only a small part are found to have changes like mesangial cells' proliferation, glomerular sclerosis and adhension, etc.
3. Western medicine
In western countries, hormone and immunosuppressive agents are applied in clinic, which can control the symptoms for the time being. However, infection and other factors can lead to the recurrence of minimal change kidney disease, which makes patients feel headache and want to seek a much better treatment.
4. Chinese remedy
Chinese remedy becomes more and more popular both in China and abroad for it has no side effect as well as can repair the damaged cells and tissues in the kidney. After years of trial and error, an advanced kind is created, which is called Chinese Medicine. It is abstracted from natural herbs, which can treat minimal change not just relieving symptoms. In addition, after application of Chinese Medicine, the immune ability will increase accordingly, thus preventing the recurrence of minimal change symptoms. Generally, after osmosis, patients will feel warm especially in the center of foot and hand. They even sweat. All of these are good signal, which proves that after osmosis, the blood circulation in the whole body, especially the micro-circulation is improved. In this case, herbs will take effect and dissolve the thrombosis, thus repairing damaged cells and increasing immune ability.

The Best Chinese Herbal Medicine for Renal Parenchymal Disease

What is renal parenchymal disease? Basically it is Kidney Disorder, or dysfunction. The parenchymal are essentially the functioning portions of the organs. In this cause, the renal system -- which would indicate kidney function loss. This is usually scarring, and is often accompanied by secondary hypertension.
What is the best Chinese herbal medicine for renal parenchymal disease? In this passage, we mainly introduce two herbal medicine from nature.
The first one is astragalus, which can benefit qi and yang ( qi and yang are both Chinese medical terms). In addition, astragalus can also help diminishing edema or swelling in the body. The injecta of astragalus is the water solution which can sterilize. It contains astragalus, amino acid, trace element, flavone, Astragalin Astragaloside II, polysaccharide. The injecta of astragalus can increase the blood flow of kidney, decrease the permeability of renal glomerular basilar membrane, protect the damaged renal glomerular basilar membrane, thus adjusting immune system and helping recovering renal function.
The second Chinese herbal medicine is the root of red-rooted salvia. The main element of root of red-rooted salvia is tanshinone, Isotanshinone, Isocryptotanshinone and so on, which can promote the blood circulation and dissolve the stasis in the blood, thus reducing proteinuria, reducing the damage of renal tubules and renal parenchyma, and reducing the sclerosis of renal glomeruli. In addition, red-rooted salvia can also adjust the non specific immunity, body fluid immune, cell immunity, which can reduce infection and diminish the inducing factor of renal failure from renal parenchymal disease.
The above two prescriptions of Chinese herbal medicine can both achieve certain effects. However, they all need time, which is the shortage. On the basis of this, Chinese Medicine is created, which can be applied at a rapid speed through osmosis through lower back towards kidney. It is also abstracted from nature and consists of more than one kind of Chinese herbal medicine, which can improve the blood circulation, repair the damaged intrinsic cells and revive renal function.

Can Minimal Change Disease Lead to back and shoulder pain

Minimal change kidney disease is a term on the basis of renal biopsy. It is the first level of IgA nephropathy and Glomeruli are normal under the light microscopy and only a few parts appear to have slight broadening of mesangial area, with or without mesangial cells' proliferation. The manifestation of minimal change is nephrotic syndrome, which affects children usually, the peak incidence of which is at 2 to 3 years of age.
The symptoms are proteinuria (leakage of protein into the urine) and edema (water retention). So in minima change stage, there is no pain in back or shoulder. However, with time passing by, if the treatment is not timely or effective, patients will develop into renal failure, thus causing pain in back and shoulder.
One should also understand that there are many reasons why pain comes about. One of the reasons why pain occurs is burdening the kidney with too many detoxification tasks which it is not able to effectively handle. After all this failure in itself is the one that constitutes the kidney disease. Generally, when kidney disease develops into severe stage, pain in back or shoulder will appear. So what we should do in minimal change stage is to treat it and prevent it from developing.
On the basis of cytology, the damage of kidney disorder is due to the damage of five intrinsic cells and according to immunology, minimal change and other kidney disease are caused by immune problem. Based on these, experts in Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital researched out immunotherapy, which can achieve this, which can be divided into 6 steps and contains many medicines. We mainly introduce Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy here. In Micro-Chinese Medicine, there are active and nutritious Chinese herbs, which can improve the blood circulation, including micro-blood circulation, and repair the damaged intrinsic cells. In addition, the substances can also increase the immune ability.
So after this, minimal change can be controlled and pain in back and shoulder will not come. If you still have any questions, please consult us online or leave a message. We are glad to serve.

Biopsy of Minimal Change Disease

Minimal Change Disease is a term on the basis of renal biopsy. It is the first level of IgA Nephropathy according to the Haas Classification. In minimal change level, there is slight mesangial cell proliferation in glomeruli; no segmental sclerosis, no necrosis and no crescent. In clinical classification, it belongs to nephrotic syndrome.
The summit age for children with minimal change is 2 to 6 years old. Adult people start to suffer from this when they are 30 to 40 years old in most of time. Among those who are more than 60 years old with nephrotic syndrome, minimal change takes up a large proportion.
As for the children with minimal change, boys are twice as many as girls. And as for adults, the ratio is nearly one to one. About one third of them have had infection such as infection in upper respiratory tract, most of which start in a rapid speed, the initial symptoms are nephrotic syndrome. Among nephrotic syndrome, children take up a large proportion and adults only take up 20%. Their blood pressure is normal.
20% of patients with minimal change have different degree of microscopic hematuria. With time passing by, the ratio increases as well. especially among those who are more than 60 years old, the rate of microscopic hematuria is also higher due to the fibrosis of renal interstitial areas. However, hematuria is rarely seen among minimal change. Due to the decrease of blood content and perfusion in the kidney, about one thirds patients have had decreased glomerular filtration rate before they go to see a doctor. For some serious cases, the protein in urine can be more than 40g.
If it develops further, it will develops into FSGS Change. Glomeruli appear to have pathological change similar to idiopathic focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, accompanied by slight glomerular mesangial cells hyperplasia; No crescent or necrosis.
So effective treatment is important. In western contries, hormones and antibiotics are widely used, which now has proved to have side effects and can not treat fundamentally. In China, patients with minimal change are suggested to adopt Chinese Medicine, which can repair the damage intrinsic cells and recover renal function.

Lupus Erythematosus and Immunotherapy

Lupus Erythematosus is a category for a collection of diseases with similar underlying problems with immunity (autoimmune disease). Symptoms of these diseases can affect many different body systems, including joints, skin, kidneys, blood cells, heart, and lungs. Four main types of lupus exist — systemic lupus Erythematosus, discoid lupus erythematosus, drug-induced Lupus Erythematosus, and neonatal lupus erythematosus. Of these, systemic lupus Erythematosus is the most common and serious form of lupus.
What about the treatment of Lupus Erythematosus? Immunosuppressive agent is applied to stop the excessively immune response, and as we mentioned in the above, the cause of Lupus Erythematosus is the excessive immune response. So immunosuppressive agent is used to stop the excessive immune response, which has proved that the effect is not so satisfactory for in the world, we can not find an absolute effect medicine which can control the excessive immune response. How could we treat Lupus Erythematosus?
The best method is the combination of Chinese medicine and western medicine because both of them have disadvantage and the combination of them can make up.

Stem Cell and Lupus Nephritis Stage 4

Patients who are in stage 4 of Lupus Nephritis may fall in desperate and think that they some day may lost their life. Please do not worry, and we will explain it for you in detail and recommend a good treatment method for you.
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease, which occurs every now and then, and becomes worse and worse with the recurrence. In stage 4 of chronic kidney disease, patients with lupus nephritis usually have symptoms such as red blood cells, white blood cells and protein in urine, high blood pressure, rash, especially butterfly rash on the face, anemia and so on, all of which make people with Lupus Nephritis suffer and lose confidence for many of them have already begun to take dialysis due to long time high serum creatinine. After realizing dialysis can not repair the damage inside of the kidney, has some adverse side effects and some complications, patients begin to doubt. In this passage, we would like to introduce a better therapy which is called stem cell therapy.
As we mentioned above, Lupus Nephritis is an autoimmune disease. Autoantibody can protect us when pathological factors invade such as bacteria and virus, which can not react to the tissues and elements of our body. It plays functions depending on the tolerance of the whole immune. One the tolerance is damaged, our organic body will consider our own tissues abnormal substances, which leads to autoimmune reaction, causing autoantibody. In normal condition, in the blood, there is a small amount of autoantibody, which will not lead to disease. Once the amount is excess, it will damage the body and leads to kinds of autoimmune disease.
Stem cell’s most important function is differentiation and to increase the immune ability of patients. Stem cell can regenerate into many capillary endothelial cells and repair the damaged renal membrane, repair the filtration membrane, improve the filtration function, thus improving the renal glomerular filtration.
In addition, stem cell can also generate into munologic balance cells such as Ts cells, Th cells, etc. Stem cell can also balance the immunoreaction, diminish a variety of factors which can cause renal glomerular disease, avoid the continuous damage to renal tubules, thus reviving renal function consequently.

Why Can High Blood Pressure Cause Kidney Disease?

Why can high blood pressure cause kidney disease, which is called Hypertensive Nephropathy in clinic, a secondary chronic kidney disease. For patients with high blood pressure, with times passing by, about 15% of them will develop into chronic kidney disease or Hypertensive Nephropathy. So for those people, they all want to know the reason why high blood pressure can cause kidney disease and they also want to know how to prevent themselves from getting this complication of high blood pressure.
How does hypertension cause chronic kidney disease?
High blood pressure is a major cause of kidney disease and kidney failure (end-stage renal disease). Hypertension can cause damage to the blood vessels and filters in the kidney, making removal of waste from the body difficult. Long time hypertension can cause sclerosis of renal glomeruli, leading to the insufficiency of blood and oxygen.
In modern society, with the changing of diet, people take in more and more meat and even fat and excessive sugar, and so on, all of which can lead to more density of blood, thus causing sclerosis and leading to chronic kidney disease if it lasts long.
In addition, the society we live in is full of pressure and competition, which make people under enormous pressure and leading to high blood pressure.
So to prevent high blood pressure, we can follow the following tips.
· Try to keep your blood pressure controlled. You can take exercise regularly such as waling, yoga, and so on, which should not be so strenuous.
· Make sure you get your blood pressure checked on a regular basis.
· Eat a proper diet, which should contain more fruit and vegetables and should be far from fat and salted ones.
· Take the medication your doctor prescribes.
In addition, once people are diagnosed with Hypertensive Nephropathy, a kind of chronic kidney disease which is caused by long time high blood pressure, they should not loose heart. Chinese Medicine can treat it. The main function of Chinese Medicine is expanding blood vessels. As for the high blood pressure, Chinese medicine is for expanding arterioles in every levels, then improve the state of ischemia and anoxia, thus reduce the pressure in blood vessels. If the blood circulation have been improved, the damage on kidneys will be relieved as well. In a word, Chinese Medicine can help both blood pressure and the kidney disease.
