How to overcome stubborn edema

“Due to Lupus Nephritis, I get many symptoms, including serious edema on the whole body, poor sleep, swollen abdomen, nausea and vomiting. Before coming to the hospital, I never thought how should I do, the only thing is to wait for death. Thanks very much for the great Chinese medicine, thanks for the doctors and nurses here. If without them, I would not gain rebirth.” LIMA told us with a smile.

Disease History

LIMA is 31 years old. Seven years ago she was diagnosed with Stage 4 Lupus Nephritis, blood pressure was 130/80mmHg, proteinuria 4+, occult blood 2+, and then joint pain, fever, and dermatitis appeared. Five months ago, she found her blood pressure reached to 140/80mmHg, proteinuria 2+, and occult blood 1+. What is worse, her whole body started to have serious edema, which made her could not walk normally, just lie on the bed. So it is no stranger that she came to our hospital in a wheelchair.

Check-up in Beijing Tongshantang Hospital of TCM

After she arrived at our hospital, our doctor did a systematic check-up for her, which showed her blood pressure 180/120mmHg, proteinuria 3+, occult blood 1+, total protein 65.1 g/L, albumin 33.0g/L, triglyceride 0.95mmol/L, total cholesterol 3.81mmol/L, and weight 59.8kg.

Diagnosis: Stage 5 Lupus Nephritis, Renal Anemia, and Renal Hypertension, etc.

Treatment Schedule

To ensure she could get effective therapy, we invited experts to make treatment schedule according to her years of illness condition, including plasma exchange, diuretic treatment, Chinese medicine treatment, etc.

Chinese medicine treatments have Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy (2/day) to improve the microcirculation of kidneys, Chinese herbal foot bath (2/day) to dredge collaterals and promote blood circulation, and steaming therapy (1/day) to relieve her symptoms, such as fatigue, weakness, and poor sleep.

Curative Effects

Through 15 days of treatments, her edema started to disappear. Nausea and vomiting had been improved greatly. Under the diet guidance of nurse, her body became better and better. Each day she would have a walk in the hall with nurse. About 20 days, the examination showed her blood pressure was controlled in 130/90mmHg, proteinuria reduced to 1+. After 25 days of treatment, her condition kept stable and in order to consolidate the condition, she were willing to take medicines at home. Now, LIMA’s condition has been controlled well, and she starts a new life without edema.

What is the treatment of kidney disease edema you can not think of

Many types of nephrotic edema, especially nephrotic syndrome. In the end what is the harm of renal edema? How to treat it?

edema

Causes of renal edema
The causes of edema in patients with kidney disease can be divided into the following three categories:
1, decreased renal function
One of the main functions of the kidney is drainage, the blood through the glomerular filtration, the formation of the original urine, and then reabsorbed through the renal tubules to form urine. When the glomerular damage is serious, a serious decline in filtration function, resulting in water can not be normal metabolism, there will be oliguria or even no urine, and accompanied by edema.
2, colloid osmotic pressure imbalance
This is mainly caused by protein loss. Large numbers of patients with nephrotic syndrome leak protein, resulting in lower plasma albumin, while plasma albumin is the key material to maintain the balance of colloid osmotic pressure. Once the colloid osmotic pressure imbalance, the blood vessels will flow into the blood vessels, causing edema.
3, crystal osmotic pressure imbalance
This is common in patients with kidney disease, "Shuinazhuliu", when the electrolyte imbalance, abnormal metabolism of sodium ions were forced to stay in the body, will lead to imbalance in the crystal osmotic pressure, the intracellular water flow into the cell, causing edema.

Treatment of renal edema
Once the cause of renal edema is established, the treatment can be determined.
① edema caused by decreased function, in addition to restrictions on drinking water and the use of diuretics, some patients in severe cases also need dialysis drainage;
② a large number of leaky protein-induced edema, to find ways to improve the plasma albumin level in order to fundamentally solve the problem of edema;
③ water and sodium retention caused by edema, to find a way to balance the electrolyte, mainly through the regulation of drugs and diet, while diuresis.

First swelling, or eliminate urine protein?
For patients with nephrotic syndrome, a large number of urinary protein and high degree of edema exist, which should be solved?
Generally think that, since this edema is caused by a large leak of protein, is it right? Urinary protein should be used to eliminate hormones, and then solve the edema ah?
Not
Because the hormone will cause sodium and water retention, so that patients swollen swollen on the swelling, and high edema easily lead to acute heart failure and acute pulmonary edema, which are deadly threat, it should be the priority of swelling.
The swelling method is not simply the use of diuretics, but the importation of artificial protein, the first restoration of colloid osmotic pressure balance, and then to use diuretics.

Symptoms of early nephritis in women Nephritis of female nephritis diagnosis
What are the symptoms of early nephritis in women?

1, different levels of infection. The incidence of nephritis to some extent and the patient's infection is closely related, such as the common upper respiratory tract infection, pharyngitis and so on. When symptoms of these infections appear, patients should be promptly inspected in order to rule out the possibility of nephritis.

2, the body edema. One symptom often found in women with nephritis is body edema. The most common areas of edema are the face, lower extremities, and thorax and abdomen. At the same time patients will appear fatigue dizziness, waist pain and other symptoms, urine may be mixed with blood, urine color at the same time, anomalies. These may be the symptoms of early nephritis, once these symptoms appear, female friends must pay attention to early detection and treatment.

3, abnormal urine output. Some women with nephritis in the early may appear abnormal urine output or urination frequency increase or decrease and other symptoms, especially when the number of urination more than 3 times at night should pay attention to the timely sampling to the hospital for urine to check Identify kidney lesions.

4, accompanied by high blood pressure appears. In the survey of female nephritis or inside, nearly one-third of all or have high blood pressure symptoms, the general performance of dizziness, fatigue, poor quality of sleep and other symptoms, the long-term will seriously affect the patient's normal life and work. In case of such symptoms, be sure to timely medical examination, in order to timely detection of nephritis early treatment.

5, if the development of women with nephritis to a moderate degree, there will be symptoms of anemia, often feel dizzy and fatigue, looking worse and other symptoms, then need to be promptly checked for symptomatic treatment.
So, nephritis is how to check the disease and diagnosed it?

Acute nephritis has mild anemia in routine blood tests. The hemoglobin is generally not less than 10 g / 100 ml, white blood cells generally showed normal levels. However, early streptococcal infection and bacterial infection of white blood cells is likely to increase, the neutral classification has increased, erythrocyte sedimentation rate faster, up to 30-60 mm / h. And some patients with acute nephritis, the anti-streptolysin "o" titer increased serum immune complexes have also been elevated. In patients with blood or urine, fibrin degradation products (PDP) were found to be elevated, and total serum complement (cH, o) and complement C decreased.
Urine routine examination, some symptoms of acute nephritis patients, the urine sometimes only changes in urine, such as a small amount of protein, red blood cells, white blood cells, without hypertension, edema, oliguria and other clinical symptom. Should pay attention to the use of a variety of inspection methods, and urinary tract infection-like diseases distinguish.

When performing renal function tests, the vast majority of patients, there will be a decrease in the rate of creatinine clearance, the creatinine, urea nitrogen increased. According to the specific situation of different patients, the use of appropriate treatment, generally can quickly return to normal. As a supporting examination of the B-ultrasound, CT examination, we can see that some patients have a more significant increase in kidney volume.

After examination and diagnosis, patients with nephritis should also be given special attention, because kidney disease may cause some diseases such as acute glomerulonephritis and renal failure.

Daily how to prevent nephritis Six teach you to prevent nephritis
