What Causes High Creatinine 3.7 and How to Lower It Effectively


Actually many factors can affect the creatinine level, like drinking much, keeping sufficient sleeping, having a relax mood, limiting eating fat meat and seafood, etc. all these can help to make the creatinine reduced. However, these are not the root treatment.

Your creatinine level 3.7 is high, this means your kidneys have been damaged to a certain degree.

Creatinine is the metabolic product by the muscle. This kind of waste need to be filtrated by kidneys. If the kidneys are damaged, the creatinine will not be discharged out, so the creatinine will stay in the blood. That is why the serum creatinine become high.

As I said, the high creatinine reflects your kidneys have been damaged. So, to reduce your high creatinine, the root treatment is repair your damaged renal tissues. If your kidneys can not be repaired, the high creatinine will replase again.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Treatment for Kidney Failure


Traditional Chinese Treatment (TCM) is slow but very effective in treating Kidney Failure. In the following text, we will introduce an innovative treatment method called 'Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy.

Ⅰ. Vasodilator Effect of Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy
Micro-Chinese Medicine can dilate all levels of artery in the kidney as well as the whole body, and relieve the high blood pressure and the tension state of the vessels, thus improving the state of lacking blood and oxygen in the kidney and restraining the origin of the development of Renal Fibrosis.

Ⅱ. Anti-inflammatory effect of Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy
A large amount of inflammatory factors and Kidney Poisoning factors will accelerate the process of Renal Fibrosis and renal intrinsic cell damage. This therapy can solve all kinds of inflammatory reaction caused by this and restrain the further damage of renal intrinsic cells.

Ⅲ. Anti-coagulation Effect of Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy
The appearance of inflammation lesion will lead to platelet activity to increase, and thrombus at different degrees will be formed in the blood, thus accelerating lack of blood and oxygen in the kidney. This treatment has anti-coagulation effect and can prevent forming the thrombus and then promote repairing renal intrinsic cells.

Ⅳ. Degradation Effect of Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy
Whether the renal intrinsic cells of the Kidney Disease patient will reverse, and whether the Kidney Fibrosis process will be restrained, the key point is degradation of Metabolic Waste and Extracellular Matrix. Micro-Chinese Medicine will directly destroy, degrade and eliminate the Extracellular Matrix accumulated in the lesions out of the body. It can also promote the kidney to compose Extracellular Matrix Degrading Enzyme and increase its activity to degrade the Extracellular Matrix, thus reversing the renal intrinsic cells where lesions appear.

So, according to the analysis above, we can conclude that, Dialysis is not the only way to treat Kidney Failure. Kidney Disease treatment should not focus only on the symptoms, but should achieve the effect of curing it fundamentally.

Why do People on Dialysis Experience Itching (Pruritus)


A majority of patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) who are on dialysis may experience itching (pruritus) at some point. Some persons may feel itchy all the time, while for others, it comes and goes. Itching may be worse during or just after dialysis treatment. What causes itching (pruritus) in people on dialysis?

Though there have been studies on this issue, there is no exact cause or solution for each person. Here are the most common causes of this problem:

▪ High level of phosphorus in the body.
This is a common cause of itching (pruritus) in people on dialysis, as dialysis does not effectively remove phosphorus. Therefore, a renal diet that limits high-phosphorus foods is suggested. Besides, taking phosphorus binders with every meal and snacks to help prevent or stop itching. Try to maintain a phosphorus level at 5.5 or less.

▪ Allergies
In some cases, itching occurs due to allergies. If a person notice pruritus at the beginning of dialysis, he or she may have an allergy to the blood tubing, dialyzer, the type of heparin being used or other elements associated with the treatment. Itching can also be a symptom of allergies to products patients use everyday.

After learning why itching (pruritus) happen, what can be done to prevent or ease the problem? There are many easy solutions without side effects. Feel free to email me at khkpcn@hotmail.com for the detailed introduction if you are interested to know!

The Brand New Treatment for Renal Failure—Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy


Most people think that there is only one way to treat Renal Failure. That is Kidney Transplant. But the fact is that there are a lot of problems to be solved if you would like to have an operation of Kidney Transplant.

First, you have to look for a kidney which matches with the damaged one. It is difficult to realize the first step, for even the kidney of your family are different from. Even if you manage to find a matched kidney, you have to pay a lot for the operation. To make the matter worse, there will be rejection after the operation. And patients have to take some medicine each day for the rejection. Long time taking medicine will definitely lead to some side effect, for example, it can irritate the gastrointestinal tract and then it may lead to patients’ bad appetite. What’s more, some toxic medicine can impose burden on kidneys and may aggravate the renal function. Is there any therapy which can avoid all these problems? 
Here I’d like to introduce to you a brand new method—Micro-Chinese medicine Osmotherapy.

Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is to treat Renal Failure by removing the disease root. We’d like to take the pathological change of glomerulus for an example. Glomerular disease is a kind of immune disease. The cause is that antibody and antigen combine with each other to form immune complex and deposit in glomerulus, which finally will damage the glomerulus. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can work in the following way to treat Renal Insufficiency.

1. By dilating blood vessels, it can promote the effective blood perfusion of glomerulus, nephridial tubules and renal mesencheme to relieve the renal hypoxia.
2. By dilating the arteries of whole body, it can lower and relieve the high blood pressure of whole body, especially the inner pressure of glomerulus, which lower the high glomerular filtration rate.
3. By promoting blood circulation, it can activate endothelial cells and prevent capillary thrombosis.
4. By accelerating blood circulation and providing enough blood, it can inhibit the infiltration and chemotaxis, and prevent the abnormal release of inflammatory cells.

Clinical practice has proven that this method is effective and convenient. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is effective for the damaged renal cells. For more information, please feel free to contact us at khkpcn@hotmail.com.

Does Renal Failure Lead to "Sexual Failure"


Chronic Renal Failure is a kind of kidney disease which seriously harms human health. The statistics shows that about 90% of men with Uremia have problem with sex. Usually, the severity of Renal Failure is closely related with the condition of sexual dysfunction. Then what are the causes of "sexual failure" from Renal Failure?

1. The change of male hormone. Researcher result shows that men with Uremia can have the disease of orchiatroghy, the male hormone level declines in blood and gonadotropin is high. In resent years, it was found that the prolactin in blood is high in men with Uremia. All of these hormones can lead to sexual dysfunction.

2. Nerve factors. Patients with Uremia or on dialysis often have nervous system dysfunction. That is uremic neuropathy and uremic encephalopathy etc.

3. The complications of Renal Failure can lead to sexual dysfunction such as Diabetes, hypertension, tuberculosis, Lupus Erythematosus, including anemia, calcium metabolism malfunction and electrolytic disorder. What’s more, some medicines have influence on sexual function, for example, hypotensor and diuretic etc.

4. Psychological factors. As patients with Renal Failure realize that the prognosis of Renal Failure is not good, they are always in depression and feel bad. Even if they are on dialysis or take kidney transplantation, they just live their life with bad quality. That is why they feel it is the end of life. Finally, it affects their sexual life.

Usually, Renal Failure can lead to "sexual failure". In fact, even if one has Renal Failure, he or she has to be optimistic about life. Renal Failure is not the end of life. An active treatment can prevent the "sexual failure".

How to Improve Life Quality for Patients with Renal Failure


How to improve life quality for patients with Renal Failure?
1. Diet
To improve life quality for patients with Renal Failure, patients with Renal Failure should avoid eating bean product. The principle food has to be wheat and corn. According to the degree of renal damage, patients have to regulate the intake of protein. Usually, the protein intake should be less than 50g. When patients with Renal Failure have the symptom of edema, the diet should be low-salt. If they are infected, the food they should avoid include peppery fish, shrimp and old hen.
2. Spirit
As Renal Failure is serious and the course is long, patients are often pessimistic about the treatment. Their family and friends have to communicate with them more to encourage them be confident about the treatment and life. Practice proves that active attitude can not make patients in a good mood, but also extremely improve the medical treatment effect.
3. Skin
Patients with Renal Failure often have itchiness in skin. As it feels itchy, most patients scratch skin until it bleeds. Therefore, patients have to avoid being infected. They can often have a bath and 40℃ water is proper, for slightly sweating can help to discharge the toxin out of body.
How to improve life quality for patients with Renal Failure? There are a lot of things patients should pay more attention to. But different people have different illness condition. Therefore, they have to choose a better way to take care of themselves according to the specific condition. However, to improve life quality for patients with Renal Failure, the most important thing is medical treatment.
Most patients with Renal Failure think that the final result of Renal Failure is dialysis and kidney transplant. But dialysis is just used to replace the damaged kidneys and it can not treat kidney disease itself. When it comes to Kidney Transplant, it is difficult to find a proper kidney. At the same time, even if one has successfully taken a Kidney Transplant, there is usually rejection to the transplanted kidney so that it is necessary to take medicine all the rest of life. In one word, to improve life quality for patients with Renal Failure, they have to actively treat it instead of waiting for dialysis or kidney transplant. The earlier you receive effective treatment, the better it is. For more information about Renal Failure, please feel free to contact us online or email us at khkpcn@hotmail.com.

Symptoms in Different Stages of Chronic Renal Failure


What are the symptoms of chronic renal failure in different stages?
In the beginning, kidney failure may be asymptomatic (not producing any symptoms). As kidney function decreases, the symptoms are related to the inability to regulate water and electrolyte balances, to clear waste products from the body, and to promote red blood cell production. Lethargy, weakness, shortness of breath, and generalized swelling may occur. Unrecognized or untreated, life-threatening circumstances can develop.
Metabolic acidosis, or increased acidity of the body due to the inability to manufacture bicarbonate, will alter enzyme and oxygen metabolism, causing organ failure.
Inability to excrete potassium and rising potassium levels in the serum (hyperkalemia) is associated with fatal heart rhythm disturbances (arrhythmias) including ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation.
Rising urea levels in the blood (uremia) can affect the function of a variety of organs ranging from the brain (encephalopathy) with alteration of thinking, to inflammation of the heart lining (pericarditis), to decreased muscle function because of low calcium levels (hypocalcemia).
Generalized weakness may be due to anemia, a decreased red blood cell count, because lower levels of erythropoietin produced by failing kidneys do not adequately stimulate the bone marrow. A decrease in red cells equals a decrease in oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood, resulting in decreased oxygen delivery to cells for them to do work; therefore, the body tires quickly. As well, with less oxygen, cells more readily use anaerobic metabolism (an=without + aerobic=oxygen) leading to increased amounts of acid production that cannot be addressed by the already failing kidneys.
As waste products build in the blood, loss of appetite, lethargy, and fatigue become apparent. This will progress to the point where mental function will decrease and coma may occur.
Because the kidneys cannot address the rising acid load in the body, breathing becomes more rapid as the lungs try to buffer the acidity by blowing off carbon dioxide. Blood pressure may rise because of the excess fluid, and this fluid can be deposited in the lungs, causing congestive heart failure.
