What Tea Can a Person on Dialysis Drinking

For patients on dialysis, they are not suggested to drink any tea, because most of tea, such as green tea, contains caffeine which will speed up the progression of your kidney disease. Even though many teas help lower high blood pressure and cholesterol level, they are not a good choice for dialysis patients. However, you can drink some juice of vegetables and fruit. But not all of them, such as orange juice. If you want to known whether your favorite drink is good for your health or not, you can leave a message below or contact our online service directly.

PKD: Do Not Wait for Symptoms Appearance

As for Polycystic Kidney Disease patients, no symptoms can be found in the early stage of this disease. For this reason, patients do not pay attention on this disease even though they know they are having this disease. Does ‘no symptoms’ equal to ‘no seriousness’? Is it really not serious?

Actually, just because there are no symptoms in the early stage, most of Polycystic Kidney Disease patients have missed the best treatment opportunity. When symptoms begin to appear, it usually means that cysts have already caused certain damage to kidney and kidney function has already been declines.

Most of Polycystic Kidney Disease patients have family history of this disease, so they know clearly what will happen if this disease progressed into end stage. Some of their family members may die from this disease; some may be accepting dialysis or waiting for a donor for Kidney Transplant; some may have already accepted Kidney transplant but now their kidneys fail again, etc. Even though they know so clearly about the harms of this disease, they seldom pay high attention on the disease they are having because they do not feel discomforts. They do not concern it seriously until symptoms, like high blood pressure, increasing creatinine, blood in urine, etc, appear. However, when these symptoms appear, it means declined kidney function. As we all know, symptoms always happen after pathological damage occurrence. So when patients feel discomforts, kidney damage has already been declined. Once kidney function declines, the difficulty of the treatment is greatly increased.

Actually, if patients can find this disease and accept effective treatment before symptoms appear and kidney function decline, Polycystic Kidney Disease can be controlled and stopped effectively. As a result, patients will not need dialysis or transplant. What’s more, the therapeutic effect is much better for patients who are still in the early stage of this disease.

Why do Patients with Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) Have the Symptom of Anemia

Why do patients with Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) have the symptom of anemia? When Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) develops into renal insufficiency or renal failure, patients may have the symptom of anemia. In the blood test, the report may show the low level of hemoglobin. And in clinical, patients may feel tired and lacking of strength, and the patients with the symptom of anemia may look pale. Then why do patients with Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) have the symptom of anemia?

The main cause of the symptom of anemia is the damage to the kidney. With the enlargement of the cysts, they will compress the normal renal tissues, leading to the ischemia and anemia of the glomerulus. Glomerulus is the basic unit of the kidney’s filtration function. And there are five kinds of renal intrinsic cells, playing different roles on the kidney’s filtration procedure. And the ischemia and anemia will lead to the damage of the renal intrinsic cells, causing the necrosis of the glomerulus. And the renal function will decline gradually.

With the damage of the glomerulus and the decline of the renal function, the secretion function will decline. At this time, kidneys are failed to secret enough hemopoietin to meet the demand of the body, which is one of the main causes of the symptom of anemia. Besides, as for Polycystic Kidney Disease patients who have developed to the stage of renal insufficiency or renal failure stage, there is large quantity of toxins, which will decrease the survival time of the red blood cells.
And the decrease of intake of iron and increase of the iron loss will lead to the insufficiency of the combining of the red blood cells. All of these factors can lead to the Polycystic Kidney Disease patients suffering from the symptom of anemia.

Innovation of Renal Hypertension Treatment

Hypertension which is caused by kidney diseases is called Renal Hypertension. And hypertension is one of the most complications of Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD). As an important part of secondary hypertension, about 5%-10% adult patients with Hypertension get Renal Hypertension. It always occurs secondary to varied kidney diseases. Youth and middle-aged people have more chances to get it. Usually there is not certain disease family history. Edema, abnormal urine test, renal insufficiency, Hypertension followed will present.

Hypertension caused by ischemia because of renal artery stenosis is called Renovascular Hypertension, the percentage of which is less than a half. But the other one named Renal Parenchymal Hypertension which arises from diseases of one side or both sides kidney parenchyma can be caused by almost every kind of kidney diseases.

Nephropathy is the cause of Renal Hypertension, which makes us find that kidney problem should be solved firstly. Kidney Disease Hospital with 20 years’ history is professional. We have treated about tens of thousands of kidney diseases which are complicated with Hypertension. Many patients’ blood pressure of this disease is declined into normal level with little or without antihypertensive drugs.

Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy developed by Kidney Disease Hospital can expand blood vessels, promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, which is suitable for this disease. Micro-Chinese Medicine will expand renal artery to improve the ischemia and anaerobic conditions. Then renal parenchyma will be recovered and begin to work again. Besides, microcirculation will be promoted too. Meanwhile blood pressure will be declined. Patients will not feel cold and sweat more and some other changes. The effective ingredients of Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy have function of repairing kidney tissues. And the disease can be treated fundamentally. The damaged kidney function will be recovered partly. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is quick-acting, efficient and it can hold for a long time without operation.

Whether Polycystic Kidney Disease will Cause Kidney Damage

Polycystic Kidney Disease, a kind of hereditary disease, means the kidneys are filled with numerous fluid-filled oval cysts. The cysts will cause damage to kidneys if they are large enough. The faulty genes will pass from parents to their children.

In early stage of the disease, the cysts will lead to the swelling of kidneys. However, if the cysts are very small, no symptoms will present because the cysts will not oppress the kidneys very much.
Nevertheless, things will go worse if the cysts grow continuously. The kidney cells can not bear the pressure and lose their normal function. Worse than that, if no proper treatment is received, there is possibility that the cysts will burst. If such circumstance occurs, the kidneys are very vulnerable to be damaged and their function will decline sharply.

So, Polycystic Kidney Disease patients should perform test in time and receive treatment as early as possible. If not, a series of symptoms will show up because of the kidney damage such as abnormal urine, belly lumps, anemia, high blood pressure and discomforts in back etc.

All in all, Polycystic Kidney Disease can lead to kidney damage if the growth of kidney cysts can not be well controlled. What is worse, the illness condition can develop into End Stage Renal Failure if the cysts are out of control.

As for the treatment, we recommend Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy which can effectively shrink the cysts. Once the cysts are shrinked, all the symptoms and kidney damage caused by the cysts will be alleviated.

How to Reduce Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) with Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy

Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) is the waste product of protein metabolism in the blood, which will be filtered out of the body by the kidneys. So, a blood urea nitrogen test measuring the amount of nitrogen in the blood can be done to see how well your kidneys are working. The reference value for BUN: 7-20mg/100ml for adult, and men might be slight higher than women. If the level is higher than 60mg/dL, it is a diagnostic indictor of Uremia.

Urea nitrogen can increase through various kidney diseases such as Glomerulonephritis, Polycystic Kidney Disease as well as Kidney Failure and so on. Besides kidney damage, various factors can lead to high level of urea nitrogen which can be protein break down, liver failure and hydration status.
The traditional way of treating high serum nitrogen is through diuretic, which is not treating illness from root. It can only reduce the level of urea nitrogen temporarily. Even if the urea nitrogen level becomes low, it will rise soon.

However, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy, an external therapy of traditional Chinese medicine, can bring down high level of urea nitrogen from root.

Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy

We make the effective Chinese medicine for kidney disease super-finely shattered into powder so that these substances can be mixed up and be fully used. Then, these micro-Chinese medicines are permeated into the kidney lesions directly with the help of modern facilities. Different from the traditional methods, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy lowers high urea nitrogen by repairing kidney cells and blocking renal fibrosis, thus gradually recovering kidney function. When the kidney cells are back to work, your urea nitrogen will be brought down naturally.

Back Pain for PKD (Polycystic Kidney Disease)

Many PKD (Polycystic Kidney Disease) patients are enduring serious back pain especially in their low back. And they complain that they can not move swiftly and the back pain keeps them awake at night.
 

The pain is usually dull pain

The back pain is usually dull pain, which can be pain in either one side of the kidney or both sides. The back, upside, inner part of the thighs can also be influenced.

What are the reasons of back pain?

As we all know there are numerous cysts in both kidneys of PKD patients. The continuous growth of kidney cysts will lead to the enlargement of the kidneys. As a result, the tensile force in the kidney capsule will rise, stretching the renal pedicle, and the adjacent organs will be stretched. That is why the pain occurs.

What will aggravate the back pain?

If the cysts are bleeding or get infection, the pain will become severer. In addition, if the patient also experiences kidney stones or urinary tract blocked by blood clot, the pain may become sharp colic.

Suggestion

Avoid fierce physical activities and trauma in abdomen.

Replace belt with gallus for fear of the rupture of cysts.

Here, I strongly suggest patients should receive treatment to control the growth of the cysts. Only the cysts are controlled can the back pain disappear in turn.

Causes and Treatment Principles of Hematuria Induced by PKD

Hematuria is usually the first sign for many PKD patients because if it is gross hematuria, many patients can notice that. Then, they go to have a check and be identified with PKD. There are mainly two types of hematuria: gross hematuria (can be seen by naked eyes) and microscopic hematuria( can not be seen by eyes but can be found under microscope). Then, why patients suffer from hematuria and how do red blood cells get into patients' urine?

1. Fracture of blood vessels

For Polycystic Kidney Disease patients, hematuria can be caused by fracture of blood vessels. The continuous enlargement of the cysts will press the kidney tissues and blood vessels around the cysts greatly, leading to the damage of endothelial cells in renal blood capillary. As a result, hematuria will present with more and more blood capillaries are damaged.

2. Poor blood circulation in kidneys

For patients with PKD, the pressure caused by the cysts will lead to the poor blood circulation in kidneys, leading to the renal ischemia. And kidney ischemia will lead to the damage of kidney cells, which include glomerular membrane. The broken glomerular membrane can not prevent red blood cells from leaking out with urine.

Treatment principles of hematuria for PKD patients

1. Shrink the cysts

As for shrink the cysts for PKD, many patients will choose surgeries to pump the cysts or remove the cysts, which can indeed alleviate the hematuria to some extent. However, the trauma caused by recurrent surgeries can not be neglected either.

2. Repair the damaged kidney units

Traditional Chinese Medicine has the effective efficacy to repair the damaged kidney units by dilating the blood vessels and providing enough nutrition.

Conclusion

Hematuria is a common complication that PKD patients can not neglect. If not, the illness condition can be aggravated. Sincerely hope patients receive proper treatment promptly to bring it under control.

Hematuria, High Blood Pressure, Back Pain Secondary to PKD (Polycystic Kidney Disease)

In this early stage, PKD patients do not have any discomforts. However, as the growth of kidney cysts, a lot of symptoms can be triggered. Hematuria, high blood pressure and backache are the common ones.

Hematuria

Hematuria (blood in urine) can be presented as gross hematuria and microscopic hematuria. It can be caused by the following reasons.

The cysts bleeding. When the cysts are large enough, they can not bear the pressure from the next organs any longer. It is very easy for them to burst. At this time, patients will present hematuria.

The damage of glomeruli. The cysts will cause too much pressure of the kidney tissues, which will damage the kidney unites. If the filtration membrane of glomeruli is damaged, the red blood cells can leak out of the filtration membrane and go out of the body with urine.

High blood pressure

Usually, high blood pressure can be the first symptom of PKD (Polycystic Kidney Disease). Patients can present high blood pressure when they are 20-30 years old. The reason why high blood pressure occurs can be:

The cysts give pressure to the kidney units and renal ischemia will be triggered. At this time, kidneys will secrete too much renin, which will shrink the blood vessels thereby. High blood pressure occurs in this way.

High blood pressure can aggravate PKD to a large extent. The kidney function can be damaged further by high blood pressure. To bring down the blood pressure is necessary for PKD patients.

Back pain

Some people might have severe back pain, while some patients might not. The pain can be dull pain or flank pain. It is mainly caused by the enlargement of cysts. When the cysts grow bigger, the size of the kidney increases, and the tensile force in the renal capsule will rise. When the renal pedicle is stretched much, the neighboring organs will be pressed. As a result, the pain will occur.

Besides the following symptoms, urinary tract infections and cysts in other organs are also the common symptoms of PKD (Polycystic Kidney Disease). Hope patients can find a natural way to control these symptoms. Anything you want to know about PKD, please contact our online medical staff. To help you is our best of hard work.
