Stage 1-2 CKD means that the kidney function of patients is normal or mildly decreased. And at the stage 1 and 2 of CKD, there are no obvious symptoms to prove that patients get kidney disease. Usually patients find they are in stage 1-2 CKD when they do other tests. Or once they find they get CKD, they have been in a serious stage.
Patients in stage 1-2 CKD are very easy to treat for the kidney function is only damaged slightly. It is to control and repair the damaged kidney innate cells. So an effective treatment is very important for stage 1-2 CKD patients.Firstly, patients should have a compressive examination in time. Secondly, patients could adopt their life style, especially in diet aspect. Thirdly, having a good control of blood pressure and blood sugar which are dangerous for CKD patients. At last, patients should take medicines under doctor’s advice.
A healthy life style should include as below:
Low salt intake :Too much salt may cause high blood pressure.
Low sugar intake: Eating too much sugar may lead to diabetes.
Reasonable protein intake: protein intake should be adopted according to the illness condition.
Proper vitamin and mineral intake: Eating more fresh fruits and vegetables.
Doing checkups regularly.
Doing proper exercise in daily life.
No smoking and drinking.
All in all, patients in stage 1-2 CKD are very easy to become healthy. Patients should have a positive attitude to fight with CKD.
moreBasic knowledge of Stage 3 CKD
CKD is the short form of Chronic Kidney Disease. Knowing the basic knowledge of stage 3 CKD can have good control of your kidney disease.
Chronic Kidney Disease happens when your kidneys loose most of functions and can not filter blood as they should. The stage of CKD can be divide into 5 stages by GFR that is a kind of test measuring your kidney function and determining the stage of your kidney disease. Stage 3 CKD refers to your GFR is 30ml/min-59ml/min(moderate decrease in GFR).
The symptoms of stage 3 CKD
Health diet for stage 3 CKD
Diet plays important role preventing further damage in stage 3 Chronic Kidney Disease.
A health diet for stage 3 CKD is suggested as following:
The Treatment of Stage 3 CKD
Some patients with CKD often have blood pressure, so they are usually prescribed hypotensive drugs, such as ACE inhibitor or an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB). But these medicines only can remit symptoms, can not treat the kidney damage from the root.
Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is the most advanced therapy in the world and only applied in our country and our hospital Shijiazhuang Health Union Hospital.
Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is external application and it based on Chinese herbs. The active substance in Chinese herbs can reach in kidney lesion directly. Thus it can take good effect on repairing damaged inherent cells through the functions including expanding blood vessels, anti-inflammation, anti-coagulation, degradation, improving blood circulation, promoting DNA replication of damaged kidney cells.
moreStage 4 CKD refers to that the patients have stepped into severely reduced kidney function period and the GFR of the patients have decreased into 15-30 ml/min. The kidney functions in stage 4 CKD are damaged a lot. It is likely someone with Stage 4 CKD will need dialysis or a kidney transplant in the near future.
The causes of stage 4 CKD can include diabetic kidney disease, hypertensive kidney disease, renal arteriolar sclerosis, primary and secondary glomerular nephritis, renal tubular interstitial lesions (chronic pyelonephritis, chronic uric acid nephropathy, obstructed kidney disease, drug-induced kidney disease, etc.), renal vascular lesions, hereditary kidney disease (such as polycystic kidney, hereditary nephritis) and so on.
At stage 4 CKD, the common complications such as high blood pressure, anemia (a shortage of red blood cells), bone disease, heart disease and other cardiovascular diseases become more likely to appear. Beside that ,patients who have taken dialysis for a long time may have complications such as aluminum poison,trace element changes and dialysis-related amyloidosis.
Here we would like to tell patients with stage 4 CKD that dialysis or kidney transplant is no longer the only choice. In Shijiazhuang Health Union Hospital, various Chinese therapies are used to help them clean the blood and improve kidney function, so there is no doubt that it brings new hopes for those stage 4 CKD patients who are trying their best to avoid dialysis and kidney transplant. You can click Patient Story to see how our foreign patients feel about those Chinese therapies.
morePatients at stage 5 CKD almost have lost their kidney functions completely. The metabolic wastes and excess water accumulating in the body can’t be excreted out, which will lead to a series of complicated complications. And some of them can be even life-threatening.
It is hardly possible to reverse stage 5 CKD as most renal inherent cells are dead. You know what? Kidney disease itself will not cause death directly, but its severe complications can, such as heart problems. So we do believe that there are two important things need to be done for patients with stage 5 CKD, and they are eliminating various harmful substances in the blood and trying to improve kidney function.
