Proteinuria and High Creatinin Level Which Have Troubled Me Many Years

MALISSA, 66 years old, is a renal failure patient comes from Nigeria. She comes to China to take treatment in Beijing Tongshantang Hospital, and now, her creatinine level has reduced from 959 to 481. Before that, she can hardly to imagine the effect. Let’s see her story.

It was a morning in ten years ago, she found her legs were little swelling, but ignored, taking no treatment. Until five years ago, she started to suffered from headache and mood swing, swelling in her legs were more serious, and sometimes she can not walk. Local hospital test: Blood Pressure 160/100, Hemoglobin 115g/L, Red Blood Cell 4.12*1012/L, Serum Creatinine level 959umol/L, BUN 33.7mmol/L, Urine Acid 594umol/L, Protein 3+, Occult +, and diagnosed as chronic glomerular nephritis, kidney failure(Uremia). Doctor suggested dialysis and western medicine.

But dialysis haven’t changed her condition. Long term dialysis causes nausea, poor appetite, anemia and many other complications. Her condition gets worse. Once search on the internet, her find our hospital and after contacting with our doctor, she decides to come to take treatment.

According to her illness history and physical examination, our experts draft a characteristic Toxin-Removing Treatment for her, it include:

Using western medicine to control hypertension and other serious complications;

Choosing dialysis to remove toxins in blood;

Taking Maikang Mixture and oral taken medicine to improve immune system and promote the blood circulation;

Hot Compress Therapy and Foot Bath Therapy to protect renal from further damage.

20 days later, her edema is gone, and blood pressure is under 130/90, and other index are as follow: Red Blood Cells 4.75*1.12/L, Hemoglobin 128g/L, Serum Creatinine level 481umol/L, Urine Acid 211umol/L, BUN 10.3mmol/L, Protein Urine Negative and Occult -. MALISSA is very satisfied with the treatment and she will continue the Chinese medicine.

Stay up late harm, to those around you who like to stay up late

Long night, there are always some rejoicing can not be missed, there are always some depression can not be relieved, there are always some movies must finish brushing, there are always a bunch of his comrades are still waiting online.
However, literally, it can be seen literally that staying up late is a harmful behavior and what specific injuries do it have?

Stay up late harm
Stay up all night "boil" what is it? Long stay up late, what will we lose?
1, the biological clock disorder
The hypothalamus, called the optic nerve of the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), controls the circadian clock. The ganglion corrects the circadian clock by light, directing the body's movements and rest by hormone secretion.
Inverted black and white can easily disrupt the biological clock, the body's various metabolism, material synthesis and so will be affected in the short term naturally will not have any obvious symptoms, but long-term accumulation, you will find yourself more "older" than their peers.
2, loss of the brain
Sleep is an important process of brain self-repair, stay up late for a long time will not only affect the cognitive and emotional function of the brain, causing memory, decreased attention.
More seriously, staying up late for long periods of time leads to abnormal microglial activity in the brain. The primary role of microglia is to engulf metabolites and dead cell debris in the nervous system, but abnormally active microglia engulf Normal brain cells, the brain itself "eat" their own horror scenes.
This is also a major cause of dementia, so staying up late for long periods of time can lead to irreversible brain damage.
3, lose rationality
Staying up late leads to a "strike" in the cerebral cortex, and the cerebral cortex, especially the prefrontal cortex, is closely linked to self-awareness. So when the cerebral cortex "strikes" it is likely to lose control, become irritable and irrational (think of getting up in bed).
This is why police officers like to surprise prisoners in the night.
4, destroy the body
Night came, the biological clock told the body: the rest. So the body automatically reduce the central temperature, reduce the body's alertness and responsiveness, to help the body to sleep faster.
But we also have a hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, which helps the body to enter combat status within a short period of time by secrete adrenaline and cortisol, which made humans escape the Beast many times Attack.
However, when we stayed up late, the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, which had been suppressed by the clock, became active again as it mistakenly thought we were in danger and began to secrete adrenaline and cortisol, causing the body Instantly full of combat effectiveness, which is the reason why the more stay up all night more spirit.
Unfortunately, these cortisol not only enhance local metabolism (get angry, Zhangdoxian), but also help the liver continue to make blood sugar into fat, and then remind the body need to add more food, and finally, a large number of adrenaline and cortisol will Cause high blood pressure and arrhythmia, which is the main cause of sudden death.

Late sleep late night okay?
Some people say that although I stay up late, but I can get up late, as long as the guarantee sleep 8 hours a day, is not it?
The answer is: No.
As I said earlier, the SCN corrects the circadian clock by light, that is, the human body actually has a "photo-sensitive switch."
When the light goes dark, SCN begins to direct the body to prepare for sleep, such as reducing body temperature, inhibiting the secretion of epinephrine and cortisol, etc .; when the light becomes brighter, SCN will gradually wake up the body, such as increasing body temperature , Increase the secretion of cortisol and so on.
1-2 hours before waking up, cortisol in the blood will gradually return to an increasing level, which is called cortisol awakening, which will make the body's various organizational systems gradually be stimulated, the body began to operate normally, the process Is everyone envy of "natural wake up."
However, if you choose to continue to sleep at this time, the already prepared body and the spirit of hope to continue to sleep will appear fierce contradictions, resulting in the body become confused, the body's hormone secretion will be re-upset, leading to more sleep more sleepy, malaise .
Some are clever and cheat the biological clock with curtains, blindfolds and the like, but without a change of light suddenly wakes up (opens the curtains and removes the blindfold) and the body is not adequately prepared, so there will be a short Time becomes trance, do not even know where they are ...

Do you want to stay up late?
There is a famous chicken soup that says: Dear, nothing in this world is important to let you go through the middle of the night and not sleep until twelve.
Staying up is like smoking, hurting your body does not appear immediately, even in a short time can make you feel more "cool." But everyone knows that this is a detrimental act. At the same time, it is also a very hard to get rid of behavior.
Some people laugh, what is hard to quit smoking? How many times a day
Stay up late is the same, whenever determined to "go to bed earlier tonight," there will always be some attractive things to jump out to lure you.
However, just like smoking for a long time, staying up late for a long time will surely hurt the body. Twenties may not feel it. However, when you are in your thirties and old and have a small family, and you most need to support the family burden, A sharp decline in physical condition, it is terrible.
In order to avoid this tragedy, please do not stay up late!

IgA nephropathy recurring hematuria how to solve

Problem:
1, IgA nephropathy stages and symptoms of what is the stage?
2, why IgA nephropathy is difficult to treat?
3, Chinese medicine in the treatment of IgA have any contribution?

from google

Staging of IgA nephropathy
According to the process of nephron pathological changes, IgA nephropathy can be divided into five phases:
IgA nephropathy a
There was no abnormality other than a mild increase in mesangium.
At this point only intermittent urine occult blood, usually not be found.
IgA nephropathy two
Mesangial area began to appear focal proliferation and sclerosis phenomenon, but still no other abnormalities.
At this point still only intermittent urine occult blood, which is slightly higher than the frequency of a period, still difficult to find.
IgA nephropathy three
Mesangial proliferation and widening began to diffuse, and glomerular crescent began emerging, tubular, interstitial began to appear focal edema, and cell infiltration.
This stage is a watershed, urinary occult blood began to persist, some patients will also appear urine protein and high blood pressure and other symptoms, diagnosed more at this stage.
IgA nephropathy four
Mesangial proliferation and sclerosis have been severe diffuse, has begun to appear glomerular sclerosis, and renal tubular atrophy and interstitial infiltration is also aggravating, the glomerular crescent has been close to 50%, kidney damage has been very serious.
This stage has been renal insufficiency, in addition to urinary occult blood, urine protein, high blood pressure and other symptoms are more serious, and the impact of renal insufficiency, such as anemia, electrolyte imbalance, bone disease, heart failure, etc. .
IgA nephropathy five
Five and four similar situation, but more serious, glomerular crescent has more than 50%, is developing to the terminal.
This stage of treatment the most difficult, because renal function has been severely reduced, some patients have reached the stage of uremia, so the main conservative treatment.

from google

Difficulties in the treatment of IgA nephropathy

Difficulties in the treatment of IgA nephropathy not only lie in the mesangial area IgA immune complexes difficult to clean up, but also that mesangial area proliferation and sclerosis will lead to a large number of glomerular sclerotic necrosis.
More seriously, this also led to the tubular and interstitial atrophy and infiltration, so that a sharp decline in renal function, about 10% -20% of patients within ten years into the stage of chronic renal failure.
IgA nephropathy is still the main conventional treatment, that is, for urinary occult blood, urine protein, high blood pressure and other symptoms of treatment.
Treatment is relatively poor, mainly dependent on the maintenance of compensatory function of the residual nephron.

IgA nephropathy new treatment ideas

In addition to symptomatic treatment of Western medicine, you can also use traditional Chinese medicine conditioning treatment.
Chinese medicine treatment of IgA nephropathy, the main breakthrough point is to alleviate renal cell sclerosis.
We know that both the glomerular sclerosis and tubular atrophy, the impact on renal function are very large, and this sclerosis is irreversible. If you can delay the rate of hardening, IgA nephropathy will greatly reduce the rate of progress.
Chinese medicine to delay renal cell sclerosis is to improve kidney microcirculation to solve the status of renal cell ischemia and hypoxia.
Because both the deposition of IgA and mesangial hyperplasia, can lead to poor microcirculation of the kidney, for itself is the capillary group of the kidneys, will lead to a large number of renal cells in the hypoxic-ischemic state, which is also sclerosis and atrophy The main reason.
Therefore, the use of traditional Chinese medicine to improve renal microcirculation, combined with Western symptomatic treatment, in order to achieve better results.

"Live in alkaline, died of acid"? Uncover the truth of food acidity

"Alkaline, dying of acidity" is a term that has been very popular throughout the years. It refers to the body that should be weakly alkaline under normal conditions, so we should eat more alkaline foods and avoid acidic foods because Acidic foods can cause the body to become weakly acidic, resulting in sub-healthy state.

So, alkaline food so amazing it?

Acid-base constitution is how is it?

Speaking of alkaline foods, we must talk about the acid-base physique, the theory that the human body fluid average PH value between 7.0-7.4, neutral or weakly alkaline, so only eat more alkaline foods to maintain Healthy, while acidic foods can cause acid-base imbalance in the body, causing disease.

So, how is the acidity and alkalinity of food judged?
Is based on the number of trace elements contained in food to determine, generally considered alkaline foods (potassium, sodium, calcium, magnesium, iron) and more food is alkaline food, with acidic ions (phosphorus, chlorine, sulfur) and more The food is acidic food.

If the constitution sour, it is generally believed that the following problems will arise:
1, the blood viscosity, prone to atherosclerosis and other cardiovascular diseases;
2, leading to increased calcium loss, prone to osteoporosis, bone hyperplasia, bone deformation and other diseases;
3, affecting the eye blood vessels, easily lead to eye diseases;
4, resulting in damaged cortical wax, prone to acne, folliculitis, boils and other skin problems;
5, leading to reduced immunity, easily lead to other diseases.

Is this true?

Diet can really change the body pH?

Of course impossible! In fact, no matter whether traditional Chinese medicine or western medicine, there is no such thing as "acid-base constitution".
The so-called "alkaline constitution" is only because our blood is weakly alkaline. In fact, other body fluids (such as gastric juice, urine, etc.) have a strong acidity. If the gastric juice becomes weakly alkaline, Digest what you eat?
So, we eat "alkaline food", really help to maintain the blood's weak alkaline it?
also can not!

The body has a very complex mechanism to maintain the blood's alkalescence, to balance the blood PH value through the blood protein, to solve the carbon dioxide through the lungs, to solve the bicarbonate through the kidney.
Therefore, the diet alone can not affect the pH of the blood, such as the legendary Kou allowed the Prime Minister Kou like vinegar, will his blood become acidic?

Therefore, the "acid constitution" is purely a rumor.

In fact, you want to make the blood alkaline, do not have that much trouble, as long as you force yourself to take a deep breath - you may cause respiratory alkalosis, blood PH value will increase, you can have the dream of "alkaline".

Why does the rumor of "acid-base constitution" endure?
In fact, we take a closer look at this beginning of the acid-base food table can understand: Alkaline foods are mostly fruits and vegetables, and acidic foods are mostly meat and high-fat foods.

A clear explanation of diet, finally know what can eat after illness can not eat

Often the patient asked with concern: "Doctor, I got XX, what do you need to pay attention to in diet? What can eat and what can not eat?"

In this regard, I send you free six words.

1, just eat

Some people say, ah, ah, gout patients can not eat high purine foods, diabetic patients can not eat sugary foods, cardiovascular disease patients can not eat high cholesterol foods ah!
Yes, doctors are saying so, so gout patients, such as the Tigers Tigers, heart disease patients, such as scorpion eggs. This can not eat, it can not eat, and even hit a diet taboo table attached to the wall, always remind myself.
However, the doctors only analyze the issue from a nutritional point of view, and even come up with a table of "how many grams of daily intake" of nutritional elements, so that patients are both awed and feel at a loss.

The question is: what fun is life if those favorite dishes disappear from the table? Just because the doctor said you can not eat meat, the whole family should be vegetarian? Or alone to open a small cook? Is there any fun eating this way?

In fact, the body needs about 40 kinds of nutrients, which need to be obtained from many different foods. Therefore, coarse grains, fine grains, meat, eggs, milk, vegetables, fruits, etc. can not be missing, we must eat together.
A word: As long as normal human beings eat - unless it is to protect animals - can eat.
Quietly tell you a secret: a lot of diseases, it is because the daily diet is too biased to a certain type of diet, so a variety of diet with but will improve the physical condition.

2, limited to eat

Types do not need to limit, but by no means let you open your belly to eat.
The best is to eat eight full, full of eight full volume (including rice and vegetables), and then laughing and family enjoy the deliciousness and grandchildren, just remember: eat do not add rice .
In addition to maintaining a total of eight full scores, every food must be balanced. This must be avoided: although the total amount is eight full, more than half of them are food of some kind.

Do not ask what can eat after illness, what can not eat.

Only need to do a good job with nutrition, control your appetite, there is nothing to worry about, enjoy the fun of eating together with the family bar.
Of course, if the disease is in an acute phase of activity, some foods should be avoided (such as when gout attacks do not drink). However, in the stable period of the disease, it is not necessary to be so cautious. It not only wronged oneself but also harmed the family members. At last, it was found that the condition was not well controlled.
