How to Prevent Kidney Damage?

Kidney damage will effect your life deeply.And What to do ease kidney damage?And How to Prevent Kidney damage.Let me tell you the answer for the question.

The location of the kidneys protects them from many external forces. They are located deep within the abdomen. Protected by the spine, lower rib cage and back muscles, this location keeps their large blood supply intact. Still, kidneys can be injured if there is damage to the blood vessels that supply or drain them. If you were to injure your kidneys, you could bleed severely. People with undiagnosed kidney conditions are more susceptible to injuries to the kidneys.
Each kidney filters about 1,700-2,000 liters of blood per day, outputting waste into about one liter of urine per day. This exposure to toxins each day makes them highly susceptible to injury from toxic substances. When waste products are allowed to build up within the kidneys, toxic kidney damage can occur. Medical procedures such as surgeries and certain medications can also do damage.
Symptoms of acute kidney damage should be treated as an emergency. They may include severe pain in the flanks, back pain, fever, abdominal swelling, blood in the urine, drowsiness, coma, increased heart rate, pale skin and sweating. A decreased output of urine or inability to urinate is also a symptom. Symptoms of chronic kidney damage include irritability and weight loss, and constipation occurs with toxic injury such as lead poisoning.

To prevent kidney damage, it is necessary that you stay on top of your health. Drink plenty of fluids and avoid becoming dehydrated. Keep your blood pressure at an acceptable level and if you have diabetes, manage it well. Finally, see your health care practitioner if you have any of the above symptoms in order to get a proper diagnosis.

How to restore the kidney damage

Do you heard Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy.Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is not a simple herb, but a medical procedure in which different Chinese herbs are used externally to improve kidney condition. Compared with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy works more effectively and quickly. More importantly, it causes no discomforts and during the whole treatment process, what patients need to do is to lie on the bed for 40 minutes.

Genetics and Kidney Disease

As all we know that PKD is a kind of hereditary disease.Do you want to know more about the relation about genetics and kidney disease?

Some Basic Information About Genes

Some diseases in the kidneys are caused by problems (mutations) in genes. People have about 25,000-30,000 genes. The genes are made of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), a chemical that has four major types (or bases) which are abbreviated as A, T, G , and C. The sequence, or order, of these bases acts as a code to tell the body how to build proteins and how to maintain itself.
The genes are located together in a central place in cells called the nucleus, and are grouped together on long strands of DNA and protein that are called chromosomes. Most people have 46 chromosomes, with 23 coming from the mother, and another matched set of 23 coming from the father.


Illustration of a DNA Strand
Mutations are errors in the gene code that can affect the way that proteins are made and used in the body. These mutations can make it almost certain that a particular disease will happen, or they can just make it possible that the disease will happen. The types of mutations in a gene can also determine how severe the disease will be, and when it will show up in a person.
Most of the 25,000 – 30,000 genes come as pairs, with a person getting one copy from his/her mother and another copy from his/her father. (The exception to this are the genes that are located on the X and Y chromosomes. For these genes, there is usually only one copy.)
Some diseases can be caused by a mutation in just one of the two copies of a gene, with the mutated gene being strong enough to overcome the affects of the other, normal gene. This is called Autosomal Dominant Inheritance. An example of this is the disease Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD). If a person has an autosomal dominant genetic disease, it is likely that one of that person’s parents also had the disease, and also likely that some of that person’s children may inherit the disease.
Some diseases require a person to have mutations in both copies of a gene. This is called Autosomal Recessive Inheritance. In this case, having both copies of the gene with a mutation leaves the person without any normal protein from that gene, and leads to the disease. For these diseases, having one gene that is normal can cover up the mutation in the other gene and prevent the disease, or at least make it much less severe. Because of this, it is unlikely that parents or children of the affected person will have the disease. (If a parent or child has one copy of the gene with the mutation, they almost always will have a normal copy of the gene as well). An example is Autosomal Recessive Polycystic Kidney Disease.
Problems with genes found on the X chromosome are a little different. Since women have two X chromosomes and men have only one, any mutation in a gene on the X chromosome will be paired in women, but will be the only copy in men. This is why mutations in genes on the X chromosome usually affect only men, or at least affect men more severely than women. These types of diseases are called X-linked. An example of this kind of disease are many cases of Alport Syndrome.
In some cases, a person may inherit a gene with a mutation that usually leads to a disease, but never get that disease. This is an idea called penetrance. In these cases, it is thought that either other, unrelated genes that a person inherits can protect from developing the disease, or else both the mutation in the gene and some environmental exposure are required to get the disease, and the person without the disease just never had that environmental exposure.

While many diseases are known that are caused by mutations in a single gene, many other diseases seem to be caused by collections of minor mutations in many different genes. Diseases like this are more difficult to understand, as they often lead to a “risk” of developing the disease, and have many possible combinations of inherited genes, and therefore inherited risk. Most cases of high blood pressure (hypertension) and autoimmune diseases (like Lupus) likely fall into this category. How these types of diseases show up may also depend on what kind of environmental exposures a person has.

the Reason Why Creatinine Is High for Polycystic Kidney Disease Patients

Creatinine level is a main measure to test PKD.If your creatinine level is too high always show there is a big damage in your kidneys.now let me tell you why PKD patient always with high creatinine level.

Creatinine is a substance that is produced during the body′s natural activity (metabolism). It is usually excreted from the body through the kidneys. If the kidneys start to become diseased for whatever reason, the level of creatinine rises in the blood stream. What are the reasons of high creatinine for Polycystic Kidney Disease? They are as follows:
●After Polycystic Kidney Disease patients get sick for a long time, the fluctuation and increasing of creatinine will arise in the clinical checking, even the blood creatinine level exceeds the normal range, from this we know PKD develops to renal insufficiency or uremia. That blood creatinine level exceeds normal range and urine creatinine level is subnormal are the main symptoms.
●Because the cysts in the kidney extends continuously, and then oppresses the ambient kidney tissues, which leads to the damage of kidney unit, the kidney volume outdistances the normal range in the late stage for PKD patients and no normal kidney unit can be seen in the microscope checking.
●After the kidney is violated by cysts in the kidney, firstly the damaged kidney inherent cells can come up the phenotype transformation, form the pathology change, stimulate the fibroblasts in kidney to transform into myofibroblast, and at the same time violate and arouse the inherent normal kidney tissues to occur the same lesion, which leads to the kidney′s spreading process of extending and excitation type from the part to the whole. Because kidney is damaged continuously, the function of excreting rubbish will lower, which leads to the gather of cretinine and other toxins in the body , the rising of blood cretinine and urea nitrogen, and the declining of urine cretinine and filterability. Meanwhile the patients can also have hypertension and severe edema .
From the above reasons, we can get that if we want to control and cure polycystic kidney, shrinking the cysts and repairing the damaged inherent cells is no time to delay.
If you want to know more about our therapy or the service in our hospital, you can directly talk to online expert or you can leave a message, we will send you theinformation as soon as possible.

Symptoms of ADPKD and ARPKD

Today I will tell you the symptoms of ADPKD and ARPKD respectively.

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease

The two most common symptoms are headaches and pain in the back and the sides, between the ribs and hips. The pain may be mild or severe; it may come and go or be persistent.
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease can also cause
urinary tract infections
blood in the urine (hematuria)
high blood pressure
kidney stones
Many people live with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease for several decades before symptoms develop. For this reason, you may hear the disease referred to as "adult polycystic kidney disease."

Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease

Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease often causes symptoms in babies even before they are born. For this reason, it is often called "infantile PKD." Children with this disease often experience
high blood pressure
urinary tract infections
frequent urination
low blood cell counts
varicose veins
hemorrhoids
growth problems or smaller than average size
kidney failure during childhood
The severity of autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease varies. It can cause death in babies with the most severe forms, while other people live with it into adulthood without experiencing any symptoms.

Treatment

If you want to ease these symptoms natually,you can try the Traditional Chinese Medicine.There is a therapy named Immunotherapy When the immunity is decreased, virus and toxins will be easy to attack. If they enter the kidneys, various kidney problems will happen. Immunotherapy is the best to treat the kidney diseases related to immune disorder.

How do cysts grow in polycystic kidneys? How can we stop them?

All of us don't want to the cyst become bigger and bigger in PKD patient.So we should pay more attention about how do cysts grow in polycystic kidneys?How can we stop them?

There’s a lot of very interesting clinical trials going on a the moment, and most are sounding quite promising. There are 34 listed at clinicaltrials.gov! There are more than ever going on now because a breakthrough discovery was made a few years ago when researchers discovered what makes cysts grow. They examined the fluid from PKD cysts and found that it contained antidiuretic hormone vasopressin, epidermal growth factor, and a lipophilic substance which stimulates the accumulation of cyclic adenosine monophosphate. Source: Therapuetic approaches to ADPKD. So now we know which substances stimulate kidney cells to turn into fluid-filled cysts, and this means we can test out various pharmaceuticals and other things to see if we can stop this overabundance.
We also now know that the hypertension seen in most PKD people is probably caused by cyst growth: the idea is that growing cysts cause ischemia (impaired blood flow) inside the kidney. This makes your kidney think you’ve developed low blood pressure from low blood volume, so it releases renin, a hormone produced in the kidney, which regulates blood pressure among other things. But the rest of your body usually has normal blood flow, so your systemic blood pressure goes up.
This is important to remember when you hear about kidney disease and blood pressure. Uncontrolled hypertension can cause kidney damage for sure, but in PKD people, hypertension is more usually a sign that there is cyst growth. (Which may, in turn, cause further kidney damage, which you really want to avoid.) It’s also why antihypertensive medication that deals with renin seems to work best in those with PKD. Beta blockers aren’t usually recommended in PKD, but calcium channel blockers may be used if the others don’t work well. The PKD Foundation has a good page with information about hypertension in PKD. [Edit: Commenter Kyle has pointed out that beta blockers can in fact act on renin, and may be used in PKD. See the comments for my reasons why I'd come to think they were less useful in PKD.]

So what are some of the main clincial trials using this information? After quite a few trials on rats and mice which showed very promising results for various therapies, human trials are underway. Many people with PKD will have heard of the PKD-HALT study, which is seeing if using two types of anti-hypertensives which act on the renin-angiotensin system will help slow the progression of cyst growth. There’s also the TEMPO 3/4 study which is trialling Tolvaptan, a substance that blocks the vasopressin from ‘sticking’ to the vasopressin receptors. There’s also a trial which is attempting to mimic the diuretic effect of Tolvaptan with consumption of large volumes of water. Another trial is testing if rapamycin/Sirolimus will stop cell proliferation in PKD. Also showing promise are trials of PLX5568 (a drug which hasn’t been named yet); it’s a new protein kinase inhibitor shown to stop cyst growth and reduce kidney volume in animal trials.

How To Treat Flank Pain Caused from IgA Nephropathy

Flank Pain is one of  common symptoms of IgA Nephropathy,and let we learn more about symptoms in IgA Nephropathy.

IgA Nephropathy is a common kidney disease. As we know, kidneys have the functions of eliminating toxins. However, if there are immune complex pile up on kidneys, kidney functions will be decreased.
In IgA Nephropathy, unknown agents cause the glomeruli to become — and to stay — inflamed. IgAN is the world’s most common glomerulonephritis [inflammation of the glomeruli], but its pathogenesis is not known. IgAN is considered to be an immune-complex mediated disorder (or immunologically mediated disorder), which means that immune complexes may not be the direct cause of the disease but they help bring about the end result, which is widespread.
Many patients have symptoms, such as protein urine, blood urine and high blood pressure. Of course, there are some patients who are caring about the treatments for flank pain. Flank pain often starts as a little discomfort in the area above one or both kidneys.
There are no good medical treatments for flank pain. Aspirin can aggravate bouts of gross hematuria, and doctors warn against using it in children and teenagers whenever there is a possibility of a viral infection because of the danger of developing Reye’s Syndrome. Acetaminophen (Tylenol) and ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil) are both nephrotoxic and should not be taken in quantity for any type of pain, including headaches. Besides, painkillers appear to have little effect on flank pain. Similarly, sedatives and muscle-relaxants like Valium do little once an attack is underway, nor is there evidence that such heavy-duty painkillers as Demerol or nerve blocks are effective.

It’s also a good idea to stay away from caffeine, alcohol, and tobacco during any exacerbations of the disease. The Network has also received reports that repeated bending and overuse of the back may aggravate flank pain. If this is a feature of yours work, you may need to speak to your employer about possible modifications to your job.

Treatment for Flank Pain in IgA nephropathy

There are a therapy in China named Blood Pollution Therapy .Let us know more about this therapy. The polluted blood flowed in patients’ body is the primary cause of kidney diseases. Blood Pollution Therapy is the latest treatment for kidney disease, which can treat kidney problems from the polluted blood instead of the kidneys.

Overview of heavy proteinuria and the nephrotic syndrome

Heavy proteinuria is a common symptom of kidney disease,and we should learn some knowledges about this disease.

Focal nephritic – Disorders resulting in a focal nephritic sediment are generally associated with inflammatory lesions in less than one-half of glomeruli on light microscopy. The urinalysis reveals red cells (which often have a dysmorphic appearance), occasionally red cell casts, and mild proteinuria (usually less than 1.5 g/day). The findings of more advanced disease are usually absent, such as heavy proteinuria, edema, hypertension, and renal insufficiency. These patients often present with asymptomatic hematuria and proteinuria discovered on routine examination or, occasionally, with episodes of gross hematuria.
Diffuse nephritic – The urinalysis in diffuse glomerulonephritis is similar to focal disease, but heavy proteinuria (which may be in the nephrotic range), edema, hypertension, and/or renal insufficiency may be observed. Diffuse glomerulonephritis affects most or all of the glomeruli.
Nephrotic – The nephrotic sediment is associated with heavy proteinuria and lipiduria, but few cells or casts. The term nephrotic syndrome refers to a distinct constellation of clinical and laboratory features of renal disease. It is specifically defined by the presence of heavy proteinuria (protein excretion greater than 3.5 g/24 hours), hypoalbuminemia (less than 3.0 g/dL), and peripheral edema. Hyperlipidemia and thrombotic disease are also frequently observed.
Isolated heavy proteinuria without edema or other features of the nephrotic syndrome is suggestive of a glomerulopathy (with the same etiologies as the nephrotic syndrome), but is not necessarily associated with the multiple clinical and management problems characteristic of the nephrotic syndrome. This is an important clinical distinction because heavy proteinuria in patients without edema or hypoalbuminemia is more likely to be due to secondary focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (due, for example, to diabetes) [1].
This topic review will provide an overview of heavy proteinuria and the nephrotic syndrome, with emphasis on those disorders with a nephrotic presentation (ie, bland rather than active urine sediment). More specific issues relating to complications of the nephrotic syndrome are presented elsewhere. (See"Pathophysiology and treatment of edema in patients with the nephrotic syndrome" and "Renal vein thrombosis and hypercoagulable state in nephrotic syndrome" and "Endocrine dysfunction in the nephrotic syndrome" and "Lipid abnormalities in nephrotic syndrome" and "Acute kidney injury (acute renal failure) in minimal change disease and other forms of nephrotic syndrome".)

The individual disorders that cause the nephrotic syndrome are discussed in detail in separate topic reviews. Readers will be referred to these individual topics where appropriate.

Stage 4 Kidney disease Life Expectancy

stage 4 kidney disease is a dangerous stage.What is the life expectancy of stage 4 kidney disease.

A lot of people are intrigued about stage 4 kidney disease life expectancy. After all, as the second most advanced form of this disease, it cannot be avoided that a certain amount of fear is associated with its presence. But really, if you do everything it takes to reverse the adverse effects of advanced kidney disease, you can dramatically increase your life expectancy. What are the things you’ll need to know about stage 4 kidney disease, how it affects your life expectancy, and how you can potentially extend your life if you’re affected by it.

What Is Stage 4 Kidney Disease?

Technically speaking, this is the 4th level of progression for kidney disease. As the second most advanced form of kidney disease, it closely borders with potentially imminent kidney failure. The primary gauge of assigning CKD stages is the glomerular filtration rate or GFR. For stage 4 patients, the GFR is measured at 15 to 30 ml/minute. If that’s your average filtration rate for the past 3 months, then you are definitely positive for stage 4 kidney disease.
The Symptoms And How It Affects Stage 4 Kidney Disease Life Expectancy
There are different symptoms associated with this type of kidney disease. One of the most prominent ones is called uremia. This term is almost always used interchangeably with uricemia, as it denotes the accumulation of urea and other waste products that are otherwise excreted from the urine. That said, the increased amounts of these waste substances can affect the person’s other organs such as the heart, and can drastically affect one’s life expectancy. In fact, sometimes the complications can even kill you quicker than the kidney problem itself. Kidney pain is also more pronounced, and it may denote something beyond the decline of kidney efficiency. It can reflect other renal problems such as infections and/or polycystic kidney disease. When left unchecked, it can get you into deep trouble.

Stage 4 Kidney Disease Life Expectancy In Relation To Treatments

Just like with the symptoms, how one goes about with the treatment process can have a huge say if the patient will live long or not. For this level of illness, there are different forms of treatment available. There is the use of specific medications combined with specialized diets that emphasizes and reduces specific nutrients. This is known to be very effective in increasing the life expectancy of patients, but it’s not all that effective if the kidney damage is found to be extensive. If there’s severe damage to the kidneys, dialysis is the solution to the problem, though the process is complicated and expensive. The last resort for treatment that doubles as the best long-term solution for chronic kidney disease is kidney replacement. If surgical complications are avoided, it can greatly increase the lifespan of patients.

or you could choose improve life expectancy through Traditional Chinese
 Medicine.There is an therapy named Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy.Different from the traditional Chinese medicine, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is an innovation to treat kidney disease in the external area of kidney lesions. It can treat kidney disease from the root cause and effectively prevent the relapse of kidney disease.

Stage 4 CKD Need Not Be A Death Sentence

Dealing with chronic kidney disease is surely a complicated task. But with the right course of treatment, one can survive it. It’s relieving to know that there are different ways to increase stage 4 kidney disease life expectancy.

Don't lose hope,keep optimistic and find the suitable therapy,hope someday there will be a cure.

Symptoms of End Stage Renal Disease

If you were diagnosed with End Stage Renal Disease,both of the kidneys will not  work well,So let us now some symptoms of End Stage Renal Disease,so that we could early detection, early treatment.

When a person reaches end-stage renal disease (ESRD), both kidneys have stopped or almost stopped doing their jobs. The body fills up with extra fluid and wastes that would normally be filtered out. This is called uremia. If you learn the signs and symptoms of uremia, you’ll be better able to watch for them and alert your doctor.

Signs Of Uremia:

Head – headaches, fatigue, and fuzzy thinking can be caused by uremia.
Mouth – food may taste bad or like metal, causing a loss of appetite.
Lungs – shortness of breath can be caused by a build-up of fluid in the lungs or by anemia.
Stomach – loss of appetite, nausea, and vomiting can occur if uremia is very severe.
Bladder – less (or no) urine may be produced. Some people still make urine, but it is mostly fluid - the wastes are not removed.
Hands – swelling can be caused by fluid build-up.
Feet – swelling can be caused by fluid build-up.
Skin – build-up of uremic wastes can cause severe itching.
Blood vessels – high blood pressure can occur, because the failing kidneys no longer keep blood pressure at normal levels.
Living with kidney disease is manageable with the right attitude and the right support. Take a closer look at the people who make up your ESRD health care team.

Anemia and Polycystic Kidney Disease Patients

PKD has many common symptoms like back pain,blood in urine,high blood pressure,anemia...today I will introduce anemia first.

Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is a genetic disease, which is mainly characterized by numerous sizes of cysts in the kidneys. In advanced stage, serve symptoms including anemia will occur.
Kidneys have the functions to produce erythropoietin, when kidneys are damaged, low levels of erythropoietin will occur and less oxygen will be transported to the cells.
If left uncontrolled, the enlarged cysts will oppress the adjacent renal tissues and structures, accompanied with kidney damage, anemia will occur.
What can PKD patients do deal with anemia?
1. Chemical drugs. In general, some medications may be prescribed to alleviate the symptoms of anemia. However, there may be side effects if you take it for a long time. If possible, you are suggested to try specific herbs which help your body improve red blood cells production.
2. Healthy diet plan. Except for effective treatments, diet also play a significant role. Generally, foods including iron, vitamin B 12 and folic acid can be beneficial. Meanwhile, spicy foods, pickled foods, coffee and chocolate and so on should be avoided.

3. Patients should focus on the rooting cause, namely, the constant enlargement of cysts. After years of study, our experts at PKD clinic invented a therapy named Blood purification therapy. And it has obtained good curative effects in shrinking cysts and repair renal function.

Do you heard Blood Purification Therapy?

The wastes and toxins lodging in the kidneys are the biggest obstacle for the treatment of kidney diseases. Blood Purification combines with different types of blood purification techniques to clear out the wastes and toxins in patients’ body.

Back Pain Due to Kidney Problems

back pain is a common symptoms of kidney disease,so it is essential for you to know more knowledge about this symptom of kidney disease.

It is important to treat any kidney related disorders when they are at the developing stage, before these disorders become chronic. However, it is important that you are able to distinguish kidney pain from a back pain problem. If you have back pain which goes away with rest and use of a warm compress, then this is not kidney related disorder, but something that has to do with muscles. In kidney related disorders a person will experience flank pain. However, this pain doesn't go away and can be accompanied with other symptoms. Hence, understanding kidney back pain symptoms and relating it to the kidney conditions is important, in order to seek appropriate medical help. Here are the various kidney disease and back pain related disorders and their symptoms.

Pyelonephritis (Kidney Infection)

This is a type of kidney infection, which usually occurs due to bacteria which have spread from the bladder. The symptoms experienced in this condition are:
Back, side and groin pain
Frequent urination with urgency
Ache or burning while urinating
Nausea and vomiting
Pus and blood in the urine
Fever
For this disorder, prescribed antibiotics are to be taken for several weeks. The patient might also be hospitalized, if the patient is severely ill.

Kidney Stones

This is one of the most common disorders related to kidneys. Kidney stones condition occurs when small or large stone forms in the kidney. Wondering, what does kidney back pain feel like when one has kidney stones? The back pain is very severe in kidney stones, and a person keeps changing position, or is in writhing pain when suffering from kidney stones. The pain location for kidney stone changes, sometimes it is felt on the side and sometimes lower back kidney pain is experienced. This is due to the movement of the kidney stone inside the body. Here are some symptoms experienced while suffering from this condition:
Blood in urine
Fever and chills
Severe pain leading to nausea and vomiting
Urine that looks cloudy or smells bad
Burning sensation while urinating
Kidney stones treatment involves drinking lots of water, and to provide relief from the pain the doctor can recommend pain relievers. Many times surgery is used to remove very large stones.

Kidney Cancer

Another cause of kidney pain is kidney cancer. This condition can cause dull aching pain. Kidney cancer or tumor stretches the kidney capsule slowly which causes the slow dull pain. A person suffering from kidney cancer rarely shows signs and symptoms in the early stages. However in the later stages the person might show the following symptoms:
Weight loss
Fatigue
Blood in the urine
Pain below the ribs which doesn't go away
Intermittent fever
For treatment of kidney cancer the doctor might perform nephrectomy or kidney removal, which is removing the affected kidney by surgery. Kidney cancer treatment might also involve removing the tumor from the kidney using surgery.

Polycystic Kidney

Polycystic kidney disease is a hereditary disorder in which there is massive enlargement of the kidneys which happens over many years. Kidney stones disorders are common in people how have polycystic kidney disease. If the cyst bleeds then it can cause flank pain. A person suffering from polycystic kidney disease has the following symptoms:
Abdominal pain or tenderness
Blood in the urine
Excessive urination during nighttime
Flank pain on one or both sides
Apart from these above symptoms, a person can show these additional symptoms:
Drowsiness
Joint pain
Painful menstruation
High blood pressure
Nail abnormalities
The aim of the kidney pain treatment, for this conditions, is to control symptoms and prevent any complications. For kidney disease and back pain treatments, included use of diuretics, blood pressure medications and a low salt diet. If there is any Urinary Tract Infection (UTI), then antibiotics will prescribed.
If you are showing any flank pain symptoms, then consult a doctor and get a diagnosis done, to treat the cause of the kidney back pain.

learn more about nephrotic syndrome

nephrotic syndrome is a common kidney disease.If you are a patients of nephrotic syndrome I think these knowledge will help you.

What is nephrotic syndrome?

Nephrotic syndrome is a collection of symptoms that indicate kidney damage. Nephrotic syndrome includes the following:
proteinuria—large amounts of protein in the urine
hyperlipidemia—higher than normal fat and cholesterol levels in the blood
edema, or swelling, usually in the legs, feet, or ankles and less often in the hands or face
hypoalbuminia—low levels of albumin in the blood
Albumin is a protein that acts like a sponge, drawing extra fluid from the body into the bloodstream where it remains until removed by the kidneys. When albumin leaks into the urine, the blood loses its capacity to absorb extra fluid from the body, causing edema.
Nephrotic syndrome results from a problem with the kidneys’ filters, called glomeruli. Glomeruli are tiny blood vessels in the kidneys that remove wastes and excess fluids from the blood and send them to the bladder as urine.
As blood passes through healthy kidneys, the glomeruli filter out the waste products and allow the blood to retain cells and proteins the body needs. However, proteins from the blood, such as albumin, can leak into the urine when the glomeruli are damaged. In nephrotic syndrome, damaged glomeruli allow 3 grams or more of protein to leak into the urine when measured over a 24-hour period, which is more than 20 times the amount that healthy glomeruli allow.

As blood passes through healthy kidneys, the glomeruli filter out the waste products and allow the blood to retain cells and proteins the body needs.

What causes nephrotic syndrome?

Nephrotic syndrome can be caused by diseases that affect only the kidneys, such as focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) or membranous nephropathy. Diseases that affect only the kidneys are called primary causes of nephrotic syndrome. The glomeruli are usually the targets of these diseases for reasons that are not fully understood. In FSGS—the most common primary cause of nephrotic syndrome—scar tissue forms in parts of the glomeruli. In membranous nephropathy, immune molecules form harmful deposits on the glomeruli.
Nephrotic syndrome can also be caused by systemic diseases, which are diseases that affect many parts of the body, such as diabetes or lupus. Systemic diseases that affect the kidneys are called secondary causes of nephrotic syndrome. More than 50 percent of nephrotic syndrome cases in adults have secondary causes, with diabetes being the most common.1




What are the signs and symptoms of nephrotic syndrome?
In addition to proteinuria, hyperlipidemia, edema, and hypoalbumina, people with nephrotic syndrome may experience
weight gain
fatigue
foamy urine
loss of appetite

What are the complications of nephrotic syndrome?

The loss of different proteins from the body can lead to a variety of complications in people with nephrotic syndrome. Blood clots can form when proteins that normally prevent them are lost through the urine. Blood clots can block the flow of blood and oxygen through a blood vessel. Loss of immunoglobulins—immune system proteins that help fight disease and infection—leads to an increased risk of infections. These infections include pneumonia, a lung infection; cellulitis, a skin infection; peritonitis, an abdominal infection; and meningitis, a brain and spine infection. Medications given to treat nephrotic syndrome can also increase the risk of these infections. Other complications of nephrotic syndrome include
hypothyroidism—a condition in which the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormone to meet the body’s needs
anemia—a condition in which red blood cells are fewer or smaller than normal, which means less oxygen is carried to the body’s cells
coronary artery disease, also called coronary heart disease—heart disease caused by narrowing of the arteries that supply blood to the heart
high blood pressure, also called hypertension—a condition in which blood flows through the blood vessels with a force greater than normal

acute kidney injury—sudden and temporary loss of kidney function

If someone diagnosed with stage 4 CKD who will have a serious kidney damage.and look like need to dialysis or kidney transplant.In order to avoid this stage,we should learn some knowledgs about stage 4 CKD.

A person with stage 4 chronic kidney disease (CKD) has advanced kidney damage with a severe decrease in theglomerular filtration rate (GFR) to 15-30 ml/min. It is likely someone with stage 4 CKD will need dialysis or a kidney transplant in the near future.
As kidney function declines waste products build up in the blood causing a condition known as “uremia.” In stage 4 a person is likely to develop complications ofkidney disease such as high blood pressure, anemia (a shortage of red blood cells), bone disease,heart disease and other cardiovascular diseases.

Symptoms that are experienced in stage 4 include:

Fatigue: Feeling tired is common for people with CKD and is often caused by anemia.
Too much fluid: The kidneys may lose their ability to control how much fluid stays in the body. A person may notice swelling (edema) in their lower legs, hands or face around the eyes. With too much fluid someone, could even feel short of breath.
Urination changes: Urine may be foamy if there is protein in it, or dark orange, brown, tea colored or red if it contains blood. A person may urinate more or less than normal, or get up at night to go to the bathroom.
Kidney pain: Most people with CKD do not have kidney pain, but with some kinds of kidney problems, such as polycystic kidney disease (PKD) or infections, they may have pain in their back where the kidneys are located.
Sleep problems: Some people have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep. Itching, muscle cramps or restless legs can keep them awake.
Nausea: Vomiting or feeling nauseated may occur with CKD.
Taste changes: Food may not taste like it usually does, or may have a metallic taste.
Uremic breath: As urea builds up in the blood, it may be detected in the breathing causing bad breath.
Loss of appetite: People in this stage may not feel like eating, and some people report having a metallic taste in their mouth or bad breath.
Difficulty in concentrating: Having trouble balancing a checkbook or focusing on reading the newspaper can happen with CKD.
Nerve problems: Numbness or tingling in your toes or fingers is a symptom of CKD.
At stage 4 it is necessary to see a nephrologist (a doctor who specializes in treating kidney disease). The nephrologist examines the patient and orders lab tests to gather information to recommend treatment.
People in stage 4 CKD will usually visit their doctor at least every three months. Blood tests for creatinine, hemoglobin, calcium and phosphorus levels will be done to see how well the kidneys are working. The doctor will also monitor other conditions such as high blood pressure and diabetes. In addition to helping the patient keep their kidneys working as long as possible, the nephrologist will also help prepare the patient for dialysis or a kidney transplant.
Those with stage 4 CKD who will need treatment are told about their choices, which arehemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis (PD) or a kidney transplant. For those who choose hemodialysis they will learn about getting a vascular access. The vascular access allows the patient’s blood to travel to and from the dialysis machine at a large volume and high speed so that toxins, waste and extra fluid can be removed from the body. The AV (arteriovenous) fistula and AV graft are created surgically and need a few months or so to mature. The nephrologist will inform their Stage 4 patient about the procedure to have the access placed and the advantages of having an AV fistula in place before beginning dialysis.
Someone in stage 4 may also be referred to a dietitian. Because diet is such an important part of treatment, the dietitian will review a person’s lab work results and recommend a meal plan individualized for their needs. Eating a proper diet can help preserve kidney function and overall health. For stage 4 a dietitian will usually recommend eating a healthy diet with reduced amounts of protein to help decrease build up of protein waste. Phosphorus may be limited to help keep blood phosphorus or PTH normal and prevent renal bone disease. Controlling phosphorus may also help preserve existing kidney function. Calcium may be limited if blood levels are too high. Potassium may be restricted in stage 4 CKD if blood levels are above normal. The dietitian will also take into consideration if the patient has diabetes and provide tips on limiting carbohydrates in their diet. They may also recommend a diet low in sodium for those with high blood pressure or fluid retention. Supplementation with water soluble vitamins may be recommended. Vitamin C may be limited to 100 mg per day from supplements. Nutrients like Vitamin A and some minerals may not be recommended because levels can build up in the blood as kidney function declines. The dietitian may recommend avoiding over the counter dietary supplements unless approved by the nephrologist. It is helpful to work with a registered renal dietitian because as the stages of CKD change, so will the diet.

A healthy diet for stage 4 CKD may recommend:

.Including grains, fruits and vegetables, but limiting whole grains and certain fruits and vegetables if blood tests show phosphorus or potassium levels are above normal.
.A diet that is low in saturated fat and cholesterol and moderate in total fats, especially if cholesterol is high or if you have diabetes or heart disease.
.Limiting intake of refined and processed foods high in sodium and prepare foods with less salt or high sodium ingredients.
.Aiming for a healthy weight by consuming adequate calories and including physical activity each day within your ability.
.Limiting protein intake to the level determined by the dietitian’s assessment of individual needs.
.Consuming the DRI for the water soluble vitamin B complex and C.
.Vitamin D and iron may be tailored to individual requirements.
.Limiting phosphorus if blood levels of phosphorus or PTH are above normal.
.Limiting calcium if blood levels are above normal.
.Limiting potassium if blood levels are above normal.
It is recommended that people in stage 4 keep their blood pressure at a healthy level and those with diabetes keep their glucose level under control. Taking all the medicines as prescribed by the doctor may help prolong kidney function.
In addition to eating right and taking prescribed medicines, exercising regularly and notsmoking are helpful in maintaining health. Patients should talk to their doctors about an exercise plan. Doctors can also provide tips on how to stop smoking.
The NKF guidelines recommend starting dialysis when kidney function drops to 15% or less. By doing everything possible to help prolong kidney function and overall health, the goal is to put off dialysis or transplant for as long as possible.

If you would like to see a doctor who specializes in the care of kidneys, called a nephrologist, you can use DaVita's Find a Kidney Doctor tool to locate a nephrologist in your area.

Treatment

Traditional Chinese Therapy could ease this symptoms natually,There is a therapy named Blood Pollution Therapy.The polluted blood flowed in patients’ body is the primary cause of kidney diseases. Blood Pollution Therapy is the latest treatment for kidney disease, which can treat kidney problems from the polluted blood instead of the kidneys.

Improving Creatinine Level with Creatinine 6.2

Creatinine 6.2 show that you are in stage 4 kidney disease.If don't have a timely treatment will cause more problem in your kidney.And even lead to kidney failure.

Creatinine is a waste product that forms when creatine is broken down. The kidneys are responsible for eliminating this waste product from the body, so blood creatinine levels are an important indicator of kidney function. If blood creatinine levels are too high, it can indicate a decline in kidney function. There are some steps that can improve creatinine levels and reduce the workload on the kidneys.

Reduce Protein Intake

Creatine is a substance that is found in high-protein animal products such as red meat and poultry. When creatine is broken down for energy, creatinine is produced. One way to improve blood creatinine levels is to reduce the amount of protein that is eaten in the diet. When consumption of these high-protein foods declines, there is less creatine available to break down into creatinine. Eating less protein can also reduce the amount of work the kidneys have to do to filter the blood and remove waste products from the body.

Increase Fluid Intake

While high creatinine levels can indicate a serious medical condition, dehydration can also cause an increase in serum creatinine. Increasing fluid intake can help avoid dehydration and eliminate the possibility of elevating creatinine levels. The Institute of Medicine recommends that women consume 2.2 liters of fluid and men consume 3 liters of fluid per day. While any fluid counts toward total fluid intake, water is the best choice. Drinks with caffeine and carbonation should be avoided.

Improve Urinary Tract Health

Some urinary tract conditions can cause elevations of creatinine in the blood. Examples include kidney infections and urinary obstructions. Getting the proper treatment for these conditions can help to restore creatinine levels to a normal range. Kidney infections may be treated with oral or intravenous antibiotics. Urinary tract obstructions may require surgical intervention. Follow all instructions on how to take prescribed medications or when to report for surgical treatment.

Reduce Blood Pressure

Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a condition that can contribute to the development of kidney disease and eventual end stage renal disease (ESRD). High blood pressure leads to kidney damage by damaging the blood vessels that supply the kidneys with fresh blood. This can trigger high creatinine levels in the blood. Eat a diet that is low in sodium and get plenty of exercise. If high blood pressure medications are prescribed, carefully follow all dosage instructions.

Manage Diabetes

Diabetes is another medical condition that can lead to kidney damage or kidney failure. Diabetes also damages the blood vessels in the kidneys, making it difficult for the organs to work properly. Diabetics should carefully manage their diabetes to improve high creatinine levels. This means following a diabetic diet and taking insulin and other medications as prescribed. This can help to reduce creatinine levels and also reduces the risk for kidney disease, stroke and other serious medical conditions.

Can Elevated Creatinine Levels be Reversed

Every patients suffer from kidney disease all know the word creatinine.And I think they all want to know how to lower creatinine level naturally.

this is a problem from a kidney patient.

Q: I do have serum creatinine level ranging from 2.2-2-8 since 3 Years. I do also have high BP and I am taking sNumelo 2.5mg to control the high BP.

The follow is one of kidney expert's reply

A: After this information I would say that your health would have been normal – if you were an athlete or a bodybuilder, or if you were a man with a large muscle mass. Normal values ​​of serum creatinine in an adult (man) is between 0.6 and 1.2 mg / dl, in women is slightly lower. However, these values ​​vary from person to person, depending on your muscle construction. If you are not sportman, if you have no such thing as high muscle mass and if you have kidney problems, you are in a serious situation.
It is important to take care first of your lifestyle, because if something goes wrong, to heal, you need to solve the cause and not the sickness. From the very beginning, I say you have to go on a diet (no salt and sugar) and you have to figure out how solve the problem of renal failure because I think this is the cause of such a high level of serum creatinine.
However, this is what I can tell you about the increased level of serum creatinine. Blood creatinine level usually increases due to a malfunction of the kidneys. It is important to know whether the process leading to renal dysfunction (renal failure, azotemia) it has appeared recently or some time ago – in your case it’s about three years. The most common causes of kidney disease in adults are long-term blood pressure and diabetes.
Certain drugs can sometimes cause abnormally elevated creatinine levels. Serum creatinine can sometimes alarming increase after eating large amounts of meat (so it might be a solution to quit meat).
In these situations can occur serum creatinine levels higher than normal:
.In case the kidneys are not functioning normally
.When there is a blockage of urine flow (such as an enlarged prostate or a kidney stone)
.A kidney infection
.Dehydration
.Decreased blood flow to the kidneys
.High blood pressure during pregnancy (in women)
.Increased values of creatinine are present in urine and serum.
In serum creatinine level is high in case of:
.chronic renal failure
.progressive muscular dystrophy
.eclampsia
.acromegaly
In urine:
.acromegaly
.diabetes
.hypothyroidism
Increases in serum creatinine may occur in these cases: extrarenale problems with diarrhea, vomiting, sweating postoperative in emergency interventions sepsis, shock, multiple accidental trauma metabolic disorders and diabetes, hyperuricemia, myeloma, pregnancy, treatment of renal toxic drugs.

There are symptoms associated with high serum creatinine level?

Symptoms of kidney dysfunction (kidney failure) vary widely. Some people may find accidentally about the severe kidney disease and increased serum creatinine level without having any symptoms. Other people have symptoms that you should investigate: dehydration, fatigue, shortness of breath and many other symptoms. When we do medical tests is advisable to be careful at the results of creatinine.
We can apparently be healthy but may still have problems with kidney function and chronic kidney disease can be in the initial stage. Do not forget that in the initial stage “disease does not hurt”.
If the kidney chronical disease is treated early, the rate of renal function deterioration remains very small and very slowly evolving. The treatment will be determined by your doctor depending on circumstances and individual peculiarities.

How to control kidney serum creatinine level?

Serum creatinine levels can be measured in many ways. We can measure creatinine with a serum creatinine test – simple and inexpensive to evaluate how well the kidneys work. Blood levels of creatinine can be used to calculate other figures, through a test called the creatinine clearance (to measure the rate at which kidneys filter blood creatinine). Creatinine clearance is calculated based on serum creatinine concentration and to coordinate the patient such as gender, age and weight.
It is a better estimation of kidney function than serum creatinine test. Creatinine clearance reflects the rate at which kidneys filter blood, the doctors called it the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) – is another measure of kidney function. If the kidneys filter blood effectively, decreases glomerular filtration rate and serum creatinine increases.
Therefore, serum creatinine is an indirect measure of glomerular filtration rate. Unfortunately, there isn’t a good correlation between serum creatinine and renal lesions of kidney disease at the beginning of evolution. Because they work more, kidneys can compensate for damage in the early stages of kidney disease.
When serum creatinine levels go up, glomerular filtration rate can be reduced up to half. For this reason, serum creatinine test isn’t useful in early diagnosis of early kidney disease, but is used to detect advanced kidney disease.

Connection with heart disease

Kidney patients clearly have an increased risk of having heart disease. In fact, heart disease is the major cause of death among patients with severe kidney disease. A recent study showed that most patients with acute heart failure also had severe kidney disease. Increased serum creatinine and hypertension are factors that increase the risk of both heart and kidney disease.
Symptoms of kidney disease are risk factors for heart disease:
High blood pressure
Abnormalities in blood chemistry, electrolyte imbalances such as changes in blood lipids or fats (like cholesterol and triglycerides)
Symptoms of heart disease are risk factors for kidney disease:
Severe hypertension
Sodium and water retention
Reduced heart function
Some drugs which are commonly used to treat patients with heart failure (such as diuretics or enzyme inhibitors) can affect kidney function. Patients taking these drugs should do tests to check serum creatinine kidney function.

Natural remedies in case of kidney failure

Kidney failure is the inability to fulfill kidney excretory function due to various causes: endocrine disorders, kidney infection, prostatitis, renal tuberculosis etc.. The disease is described by increased urea level in blood above the normal range (50 mg percent), anemia, dizziness, fatigue, lack of appetite, bad taste in the morning, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and itching skin.
Very important in renal failure is the diet of the patient. The daily amount of protein to be consumed will be determined in relation to the amount of urea in the blood, thus: 50-60 g for values ​​of 50-80 mg % urea, 30-50 g for values ​​of 80-100 mg % and 10-30 g for 100-120 percent. In general, animal fats are forbidden: meat, fatty fish, dried peas and beans, fermented cheeses, preserves of any kind, excess salt, hot spices, sweets, chocolate, alcohol and coffee. It will be maintained even a normal carbohydrate and cholesterol diet. It is recommended to consume rice drink, oatmeal, pollen, propolis, wheat bran water (in the evening time, take a 2 litres bottle, fill it with fresh water and add 2 tsp of natural wheat bran – drink this bran water next day), macerated aloe and green barley steeped with honey, in cure of 2-3 weeks per month.
As a herbal treatment is recommended a 10% tincture ( 10 g of plants in 100 ml alcohol)- 20-40 drops 2-3 times daily between meals – made of artichoke leaf, dandelion leaf, purple loosestrife, nettle leaf, meadowsweet, sea buckthorn fruit, celandine, parsley leaves and roots – all in equal parts.

You also should try a tea made of bitter cherry stems and silk from corn – a diuretic tea recommended in renal failure – use bitter cherry stems and corn silk dried and crushed, in equal parts. Green Silk is gathered when corn is in milk and then dried.

Natural therapy for high creatinine level

Different from the traditional Chinese medicine, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is an innovation to treat kidney disease in the external area of kidney lesions. It can treat kidney disease from the root cause and effectively prevent the relapse of kidney disease.

  

What are the Symptoms of Stage 3 Kidney Disease

Stage 3 Kidney Disease is a key period to treat kidney disease. At this stage to cure the chance of more. If continue to develop,you will pay more money and time to cure this disease.And it will be difficult to cure it totaly. Now let we know some symptoms in stage 3 kidney disease.And early found early treatment.

Kidney disease is a progressive condition that occurs when damage to the kidneys inhibits their function. The kidneys, responsible for filtering waste from the body, do not stop working all at once but slowly lose function over time. There are five stages of kidney disease, based on the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), a measure of kidney function determined by age, race, gender and serum creatinine level. Stage 3, a moderate loss of kidney function, occurs when the GFR is 30 to 59 mililiters per minute, according to DaVita, a dialysis services provider. While some patients will not yet exhibit outward symptoms of disease others will.

Anemia and Fatigue

As kidney function begins to decline, waste products, known as uremic toxins, build up in the blood. In addition, the kidney is responsible for secreting various hormones. One hormone, called erythropoietin (EPO), is necessary to help the bone marrow make new red blood cells. When the kidneys are not able to function properly, they do not release enough EPO, resulting in fewer red blood cells.

A low red blood cell count is a condition called anemia. DaVita reports that anemia often develops during stage 3 kidney disease. Because the red blood cells carry oxygen throughout the body, a decrease in red blood cells reduces the amount of oxygen. With less circulating oxygen, the cells in the body must work harder, which causes fatigue.

Fluid Retention

The kidneys also are responsible for removing excess fluids from the body. As kidney function decreases, excess fluids stay in the body and can settle in the lower legs and hands or around the eyes. This condition is known as edema. If left untreated, edema can cause painful swelling, difficulty walking, increased risk of infection, decreased blood circulation and an increased risk of developing ulcers, according to the doctors at the Mayo Clinic.

Treatment

Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is external therapy with Traditional Chinese Medicine, which is able to remedy CKD from root causes by protecting and regenerating the structures and functions of intrinsic renal cells fundamentally. Its significant efficacy brings new hope for patients with Kidney Disease, which draws increasing attention worldwide.

the Symptoms of Kidney disease(Muscle Cramps,Anemia)

If you have kidney disease there will be some common symptoms like anemia,high blood pressure and so on.Now let us to learn more about these symptoms.

Kidney disease can have a variety of complications. They range from uncomfortable to damaging and even life-threatening symptoms. Managing these complications can help stop further damage to your kidneys and help you stay as healthy as possible. Here are some common symptoms of kidney disease and how they may be treated:

Anemia

Red blood cells carry oxygen, giving you energy and keeping your heart healthy. A hormone called erythropoietin (EPO) tells your bone marrow to make red blood cells. With kidney disease, your kidneys make less EPO and your body makes fewer red blood cells. This leads to anemia. This symptom of kidney disease can be treated with synthetic EPO. Your doctor may also prescribe iron supplements.

High Blood Pressure

High blood pressure, or hypertension, is a condition where the force of blood in your blood vessels is higher than it should be, making your heart work harder. Uncontrolled high blood pressure can damage many organs in your body, including your kidneys.
Healthy kidneys create an enzyme called renin that helps control blood pressure. When your kidneys are not working as well as they should, they will make less renin, and your blood pressure may rise. Because uncontrolled high blood pressure can damage blood vessels, it becomes harder for your kidneys to get rid of wastes. This kidney disease symptom can cause even more kidney damage.
Your doctor will make a treatment plan that may include advice to:
Cut down on sodium (salt) in your diet. Sodium can raise blood pressure in some people.
Lose weight if you are overweight, and begin to exercise at least three times a week (just walking can help). Weight loss and exercise can help lower your blood pressure.
Quit smoking. If you need help, ask your doctor for advice.
Take blood pressure medication.

Bone Disease

Phosphorus is a mineral in most food we eat. Normally, extra phosphorus is removed from your blood by your kidneys. If your kidneys are not working well, phosphorus can build up in your body and cause a loss of calcium from your bones. Calcium is a mineral that builds strong bones and helps your body send nerve signals. It’s found in many foods—mainly milk and other dairy products. When the calcium level in your blood drops, 4 small parathyroid glands in your neck make Parathyroid Hormone (PTH), which pulls calcium out of your bones. Too much PTH in your blood will pull too much calcium from your bones, making them weaker over time. To help prevent these problems, your doctor may recommend:
Calcium supplements.
Activated vitamin D supplements (pills or injections) which help in the absorption of calcium.
Lowering the phosphorus in your diet (some foods high in phosphorus include dairy products, nuts, beans, chocolate, cola, and beer).
Taking a phosphate binder to reduce the amount of phosphorus you absorb from your food.
Making changes in your dialysis treatment—nocturnal hemodialysis, for example, removes more phosphorus than regular dialysis, which can help your bones stay healthy.
Starting a doctor-approved exercise routine.
Having surgery to remove some of your parathyroid glands.

Muscle Cramps

Muscle cramps, especially leg cramps, are common in people with kidney disease. These symptoms are thought to be caused by an imbalance of fluids and electrolytes (sodium, potassium, or chloride) in your body. Your doctor will probably suggest that you stretch and massage the muscle that is cramping. Also, wearing comfortable shoes may help.

Itching

Itching can be due to dry skin (caused by less fluid intake or other reasons) or high levels of phosphorus in your blood. Your doctor will work with you to try to find out why you are itching. Lotions may help dry skin. If your itching is due to high levels of phosphorus in your body, your doctor may prescribe a medication called a phosphate binder that pulls extra phosphorus out of your food.

Treatments

Chinese medicine therapy will treat these symptoms in root and will ease risk in treatment. 

Bubbly Urine in the Morning

Bubbly urine is one of common symptoms of kidney disease.And in the morning maybe have heavy bubbly urine.Now let we learn some knowledge about cause of bubbly in urine.
Like nails, urine too is regarded as an important health indicator. Its color, odor and consistency can provide important clues about the status of a person's health. Urinalysis is an effective diagnostic tool to determine the type of diet a person follows, how much water he/she normally drinks, and diseases that he/she might be having. For instance, a pale yellow urine is normal. On the other hand, urine that is dark yellow or reddish, may indicate dehydration, infection or something as severe as cancer. Likewise, a pungent or strong-smelling urine may be a symptom of urinary tract infection or other diseases. Foamy or bubbly urine too may not be good news unless it occurs occasionally.

Mild Causes of Bubbles in Urine

Forceful Urination

A normal or harmless cause of bubbles in urine in the morning, in most cases, could be forceful urination. While you are asleep, urine keeps gathering in the bladder. And with time the pressure keeps on building. The pressure is more if you had plenty of water or fluid before going to sleep. So when you urinate in the morning, the flow of the urine is stronger than usual. And when the stream hits the toilet bowl, it may form bubbles. After sometime, however, the bubbles would disappear.

Dehydration

Dehydration may also cause your urine to be bubbly or foamy. When your body lacks the adequate amount of fluid for its normal functioning, the concentration of waste particles in the urine becomes higher. And this may change the consistency of your urine, making it more bubbly than usual. In this case, the urine would also be dark yellow or dark amber.

Severe Causes of Bubbles in Urine

Excess Protein in Urine (Proteinuria)

The kidneys filter the blood and get rid of waste materials with the help of its tiny filters known as glomeruli. Although these filters retain essential components like proteins, they allow trace amounts of the same to get into the urine along with the waste. So some amount of protein is always present in the urine, and this is harmless. But the glomeruli may malfunction because of certain conditions, common being diseases or disorders of the kidneys. As a result, too much protein may leak into the urine. And when this occurs, the urine becomes abnormally frothy or bubbly. Proteinuria could also be a repercussion of increased production of protein in the body.
Bubbles in urine during pregnancy is most likely to be caused from a condition called pre-eclampsia. Because of this condition, most pregnant women, from around the second half of pregnancy, may suffer from high blood pressure and proteinuria. This may also occur immediately post delivery.

Urinary Tract Infection

Bubbles in urine, especially in women, may signal the onset of urinary tract infection. It is caused by a bacterium and it mostly affects the bladder and the urethra. It may become more specific that UTI is the underlying cause, if the foamy urine is accompanied by symptoms such as burning and pain while urinating, strong and frequent urge to urinate, strong-smelling urine, darker urine, blood in the urine, painful sexual intercourse, etc.

Vesicocolic Fistula

Factors like injury, surgery, or infection may cause an abnormal passage to develop between two organs in the body and connect them to each other. These organs do not connect normally. This abnormal connection is known as a fistula. Such a connection may develop between the colon and the bladder, and is called vesicocolic fistula. This structure may pass bubbles directly into the urine stream, and make urine bubbly. Although rare, vesicocolic fistulas are known to indicate severe conditions like Crohn's disease, and cancer of the bladder or colon.

Treatment of bubbly or foamy urine mainly involves dealing with the underlying cause of the problem. For instance, if UTI is found as the offender, then antibiotics may be used as the first line of treatment. And once this issue resolves, the urine becomes normal again. Take care!

Keep an right habit in daily life will help you get rid of bubbly urine and even kidney disease!!!

Learn More about Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease

PKD is a genetic disease.It include ADPKD and ARPKD.First we should learn more about ADPKD.

What is autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease?

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is one of the most common forms of polycystic kidney disease. It is present at birth in 1 in 400 to 1 in 1,000 babies, and it affects approximately 400,000 people in the United States. ADPKD occurs in individuals and families worldwide and in all races.
Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is a genetic disorder characterized by the growth of numerous cysts in both kidneys. The cysts are filled with fluid. The progressive expansion of PKD cysts slowly replaces much of the normal mass of the kidneys, and can reduce kidney function and lead to kidney failure.
When PKD causes kidneys to fail - which usually happens after many years - the patient requires dialysis or kidney transplantation. About one-half of people with the major type of PKD progress to kidney failure, also called end-stage kidney disease. PKD can also cause cysts in the liver and problems in other organs, such as the heart and blood vessels in the brain.
Top of page

What are the symptoms of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease?

ADPKD is usually an adult-onset condition. This means that many people with ADPKD live for decades without developing symptoms of renal functional decline. People who have ADPKD have renal cysts in both kidneys and may also develop cysts in other organs such as the liver and pancreas; abnormalities of blood vessels (vascular system) such as high blood pressure (hypertension) intracranial and aortic aneurysms, heart valve defects , and abdominal wall hernias. Hypertension is the most common problem as a result of ADPKD.
About half of individuals who have ADPKD develop end-stage kidney disease by the age of 60.

How is autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease diagnosed?

ADPKD can be diagnosed using ultrasound, CT scan or MRI studies of the kidneys. The diagnostic criteria for individuals who have a 50 percent risk of developing ADPKD include:
At least two unilateral (cysts in one kidney) or bilateral (cysts in both kidneys) cysts in individuals who are younger than age 30.
At least two cysts in each kidney in individuals who are between 30 and 59 years.
At least four cysts in each kidney in individuals who are 60 years old or older.
There are two genes known to be associated with ADKPD. PKD1 is found in approximately 85 percent of individuals who have ADPKD. PKD2 is found in about 15 percent of individuals who have ADPKD.
A genetic test can detect mutations in the PKD1 and PKD2 genes, the genes that, when altered, cause autosomal dominant PKD. Although this test can detect the presence of the autosomal dominant PKD mutations before cysts develop, its usefulness is limited by two factors; it cannot predict the onset or ultimate severity of the disease and no absolute cure is available to prevent the onset of the disease. On the other hand, a young person who knows of a PKD gene mutation may be able to forestall the disease through diet and blood pressure control.
Genetic testing for PDK1 and PDK2 is also available for prenatal diagnosis and preimplantation genetic diagnosis. However this testing is not usually requested for ADPKD because it is usually an adult-onset condition.
Top of page
What is the treatment for autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease?
The treatment for ADPKD is aimed at treating the kidney and non-kidney symptoms. Blood pressure is followed regularly. High blood pressure is treated with medication.
Pain in the area of the kidneys is treated as needed with pain medications, and for chronic pain, with antidepressants. When standard methods to treat kidney pain do not work, then removing the fluid in the kidney cysts may be done.
When kidney function starts to decline, treatment is aimed at slowing down the progression to kidney failure. This involves controlling high blood pressure, restricting protein in the diet, controlling build up of acid (acidosis) and preventing elevated levels of phosphate (hyperphosphatemia).
When individuals with ADPKD develop renal failure, they need to have dialysis or a renal transplant. Studies have shown that individuals with ADPKD do better on dialysis than individuals with kidney failure from other causes.

Is autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease inherited?

ADPKD is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait in families. The phrase 'autosomal dominant' means that if one parent has the disease, there is a 50-percent chance that the disease will pass to a child of either gender. In this form, one out of a person's two copies of the gene must be altered in order for the person to develop ADPKD. Most of the time, one parent must have the disease for a child to inherit it. Either the mother or father can pass it along, but new mutations may account for up to one-fifth of new cases.

Hope this article can let you have better understanding on PKD.
