Recently, in the hospital bed of emergency treatment room lies a young man. His wife chokes to the doctor :’ how does diarrhea cause kidney failure?’ Fu is the family name of the man in bed, 30years old, company white-collar. Three days ago, he and his friends got together in a small tearoom. They had hot spot, ordering piles of food, mutton, meatballs, needle mushroom till 1 o’clock in the morning. Mr. Fu told the doctor with a frown : He might have the unclean and uncooked food. When he had a stomachache, he went away. After he arrived at home, he couldn’t stop the diarrhea in the whole night. In the next morning, he also had the trots for a few times. Because he would go to work and it was troublesome to go to hospital, he asked his family for the antidiarrheic and then went to work. After two days with pills, families found Mr. Fu’s abnormal: in the three days, Mr. Fu seemed to get heavy sick, eyes deep concave, face paleaswax. Strangely, diarrhea was over but he couldn’t pee....

Renal function test is done for those who are diagnosed with kidney disease and those who suspect that they have kidney problems. What does a renal function test include and what are the normal values for those test results? The following is going to give you some figures as a reference. Check items are: Blood Urea Nitrogen(BUN) Serum Creatinine(Scr) Blood Urea Blood Uric Acid(BUA/UA) Urine Creatinine(UCr) Urine Protein Selective Proteinuria Index(SPI) β2-Microglobulin Clearance Test Urea Excretion Ratio Creatinine Clearance Rate(CcR) Phenol Red Excretion Test(PSP) As noted above,the main check items of renal function test are listed,among which creatinine and blood urea nitrogen are the most important since they indicate that there has been something wrong with your kidneys if the values are high. According to different check methods in different hospitals,the values may exist slight difference, the normal values we usually use are: Serum Cre...

 Acute renal failure occurs in 5 percent of hospitalized patients. Etiologically, this common condition can be categorized as prerenal, intrinsic or postrenal. Most patients have pre-renal acute renal failure or acute tubular necrosis (a type of intrinsic acute renal failure that is usually caused by ischemia or toxins). Once acute renal failure develops, supportive therapy is critical to maintain fluid and electrolyte balances, minimize nitrogenous waste production and sustain nutrition. Death is most often caused by infection or cardiorespiratory complications. Prerenal Acute Renal Failure In prerenal acute renal failure, the problem is impaired renal blood flow as a result of true intravascular depletion, decreased effective circulating volume to the kidneys or agents that impair renal blood flow. Urine and blood studies are helpful in diagnosing prerenal acute renal failure. Distinguishing features include a bland urine sediment, a urine osmolality of greater than 500 ...

The renal function test can usually indicate whether people have kidney diseases or not,disease conditions and evaluation of therapeutic effects and prognosis,and based on which the dose of medicines,dialysis and other treatments can be determined. It is worthwhile to note that traditional renal function test is a rough assess,so far the renal fibrosis index makes it possible to determine the injury degree from the aspect of micro cells,but this technique can only be found in Shijiazhuang kidney disease hospital. The following is going to introduce some commonly used norms in renal function test in clinical along with their clinical significance. Blood Urea Nitrogen(BUN) Normal range :3.2-7.1mmol/L(9-20mg/dl) Clinical significance increase——acute and chronic nephritis,severe nephropyelitis,acute and chronic renal dysfunction caused by various reasons,heart failure,shock,burn,dehydration,internal bleeding,adrenocortical insufficiency,prostate enlargement,Chronic urinary trac...

A kidney infection is a painful and unpleasant illness that usually happens when bacteria travel up from your bladder into one or both of your kidneys. The medical name for a kidney infection is pyelonephritis. It's more serious and different from cystitis, which is a common infection of the bladder that makes urinating painful. If treated promptly, a kidney infection doesn't cause serious harm but it will make you feel very unwell. If a kidney infection isn't treated, it can get worse and cause permanent kidney damage. Often the symptoms of a kidney infection come on quickly within a few hours. You can feel feverish, shivery, sick and have a pain in your back or side A kidney infection happens when bacteria enters and infects one or both of your kidneys. The bacteria are usually a type called E. coli, which live in your bowel. The bacteria get in through the opening of the urethra and move upwards through your urinary tract, first infecting your bladder and th...

Multiple cysts is clinical infectious nephropathy. And clinical manifestations are BLD, lumbago and so on. Experts remind us that never mix up the diagnosis of PKD and other diseases. we need to distinguish multiple cysts and following diseases. 1. Two kidney seeper caused by congenital disorder or the block of acquired ureteral : Two kidney seeper has such symptoms of phyma in bilateral sides of waist and damage of kidney function. While pelvic vein angiography and ultrasonic test show that these symptoms have much difference in multiple cysts. Disease is very rare, but it seems like multiple cysts in urogram. In multiple cysts, if one side kidney is small or urogram doesn’t show the twist, it will be difficult to distinguish kidney neoplasms in the other side. Neoplasms often confined to a certain part of the kidney, while cysts in PKD cover all of the kidney. The whole renal function in unilateral renal tumors is normal, while the multiple cysts is always got damaged. Nuclear ...

A low level of urine creatinine is usually not associated with any major health problems. Drinking plenty of water is the most common factor that can lower the level of creatinine in urine. Water dilutes the urine, and causes the creatinine level to fall. In general, the normal range for urine creatinine levels is 500 to 2000 mg/day. The level of creatinine in blood is considered more important than its level in the urine. Constant or stable blood creatinine level is considered a sign that the kidneys are functioning properly. The urine creatinine level is generally compared to the level of blood creatinine, in order to find out how well the kidneys are functioning. Experts are of the opinion that low urine creatinine levels are not a cause of concern, if the level of creatinine in blood is normal. The level of creatinine in blood should be more or less stable if the kidneys are functioning normally, as muscle mass does not change from day-to-day. If the level of creatinine in urin...

Kidneys are remarkable organs. Inside them are millions of tiny blood vessels that act as filters. Their job is to remove waste products from the blood. Sometimes this filtering system breaks down. Diabetes can damage the kidneys and cause them to fail. Failing kidneys lose their ability to filter out waste products, resulting in kidney disease. How Does Diabetes Cause Kidney Disease? When our bodies digest the protein we eat, the process creates waste products. In the kidneys, millions of tiny blood vessels (capillaries) with even tinier holes in them act as filters. As blood flows through the blood vessels, small molecules such as waste products squeeze through the holes. These waste products become part of the urine. Useful substances, such as protein and red blood cells, are too big to pass through the holes in the filter and stay in the blood. Diabetes can damage this system. High levels of blood sugar make the kidneys filter too much blood. All this extra work is hard ...

How To Prepare Do not eat foods that can colour the urine, such as blackberries, beets, and rhubarb, before the test. Do not exercise strenuously before the test. Tell your doctor if you are menstruating or close to starting your menstrual period. Your doctor may want to wait to do the test. Your doctor may ask you to stop taking certain medicines that colour the urine. These include vitamin B, phenazopyridine (Pyridium), rifampin, and phenytoin (Dilantin). Be sure to tell your doctor if you are taking diuretics, which may affect the test results. Talk to your doctor any concerns you have regarding the need for the test, its risks, how it will be done, or what the results will mean. To help you understand the importance of this test, fill out the medical test information form . How It Is Done A routine urine test can be done in your doctor's office, clinic, or lab. You may also be asked to collect a urine sample at home and bring it with you to the office or lab for t...

With the development of the high technology, there are more and more people getting kidney disease. The traditional Chinese medicine became familiar to many patients and the TCM had a lot of advantages in curing uremia. How the treatment invented in the hospital? Traditional Chinese medicine osmosis therapy was invented by the experts through the decades of experience. Its core technology is an effective prescription for superfine grinding of to treat kidney disease with the intention to send and combine the medicine fully. And then with the help of the penetrant and the Osmosis device the effective drugs can reach to the damage part of the kidney. Thus the new therapy can avoid the side effect of the oral intake of the medicine. The mechanism of the traditional Chinese medicine treatment of uremia Through several steps including vascular dilation, anti-inflammatory, anticoagulation, resistance to blood viscosity the traditional Chinese medicine can prevent the further devel...

A urine test checks different components of urine, a waste product made by the kidneys. The normal values listed here—called a reference range—are just a guide. These ranges vary from lab to lab, and your lab may have a different range for what's normal. Your lab report should contain the range your lab uses. Also, your doctor will evaluate your results based on your health and other factors. This means that a value that falls outside the normal values listed here may still be normal for you or your lab. Colour Normal: Pale to dark yellow Abnormal: Many foods and medicines can affect the colour of the urine. Urine with no colour may be caused by long-term kidney disease or uncontrolleddiabetes. Dark yellow urine can be caused by dehydration. Red urine can be caused by blood in the urine. Clarity Normal: Clear Abnormal: Cloudy urine can be caused by pus (white blood cells), blood (red blood cells), sperm, bacteria, yeast, crystals, mucus, or a parasite infection, suc...

Dialysis is the traditional way and also is the most common way to cure the high creatinine which can control the illness fast. But if the patients did not be careful after the dialysis the prognosis may get worse. So what should the patients do? ●  Physical condition Patients with stomach pain should adjust the location of the dialysis tubing, the temperature of the dialyzate and the flow rate and the PH. Abdominal distension may caused by the peristalsis decrease. For this phenomemon the hot compress and doing massage on the waist is a best way to relieve the pain. In the same time taking food contains cellulose is also good to patients’ health. ●  Avoid infection If the patients are accompanied by his friends or family members, try to avoid cross infection. Wear the mask and wash hands before entering the ward. Check yourself everyday including the weight, pulse and urine volume. In the same time record the time during dialysis including the volume amount, stay...

Albumin creatinine ratio is a test that is done to check whether the kidneys are functioning properly or not. Scroll down to learn about the normal ACR levels. Albumin creatinine ratio (ACR) is a ratio that is measured to gage the level of functioning of the kidneys. This is an important ratio which helps to understand whether or not the kidneys have a pathology. However, first we should try to understand what exactly are albumin and creatinine. Albumin is a protein that is found in the body. In fact, it is the most abundant protein in human blood plasma. This protein is produced in the liver and constitutes around half of the total blood serum protein. Creatinine on the other hand is a break-down product of creatine phosphate in muscle. This is a breakdown product that is produced by the body and is mostly filtered out of the blood by the kidneys. This is because there is almost no tubular reabsorption of creatinine into the body from the kidneys during urine formation.Given bel...

Another patient has get rid of dialysis and began his normal life. This is the news came from Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital. Is it possible for the kidney disease patients to get rid of dialysis? This is a question or may say a doubt that every patients would think before they come to Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital.

As a leadership,Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital is quite advanced in facilities and on the service. For the recent years we spent millions on the latest technics...

Many symptoms are associated with what is known as the Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR). According to the Foundation for IgA Nephropathy, the GFR is the rate at which the kidneys filter waste and relates to a patient’s “kidney function.” Your glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is the best indicator of how well your kidneys are working. In 2002, the National Kidney Foundation published treatment guidelines that identified five stages of CKD based on declining GFR measurements. The guidelines recommend different actions based on the stage of kidney disease. · Stage 1: Kidney damage with normal GFR (90 or above). Kidney damage may be detected before the GFR begins to decline. In this first stage of kidney disease, the goals of treatment are to slow the progression of CKD and reduce the risk of heart and blood vessel disease. · Stage 2: Kidney damage with mild decrease in GFR (60 to 89). When kidney function starts to decline, your health care provider will estimate the progression ...

Creatinine is what is produced when a muscle protein called creatine breaks down. After creatinine is produced, it is excreted out of the body through the kidneys. However, a small portion may be passed out of the body through the urine. This mainly happens when there is some kind of underlying problem with the kidneys as improper functioning can result in improper filtration. Decrease the amount of creatine that you consume. After eating, nutrients containing creatine first circulate through the blood and are then stored in the muscles and liver for future use. Many sports supplements, energy drinks and bars, and protein powders contain creatine. Increase your fluid intake. The kidneys are responsible for clearing all toxins and cleansing the blood. As it circulates through the bloodstream, excess creatine should get removed by the kidneys and flushed out with your urine. Even the slightest degree of dehydration can boost your serum creatine levels. Get your blood pressure check...

 Researchers at the University of California, San Francisco have determined that there is a strong relationship between being obese and developing end-stage renal disease, or kidney failure. The long-range study found that the obese have up to a seven times greater risk of kidney failure than normal weight people, suggesting that obesity should be considered a risk factor for the condition, and that kidney failure is yet another consequence of obesity. "There are more and more people with kidney failure, but it hasn't been appreciated much that kidney failure can be a consequence of obesity," said Doc. Mickle assistant professor of medicine and lead author of the study. "We think this study is important because it demonstrates quite convincingly that people who are obese or overweight are at much higher risk of kidney failure." The study, published in the January, was conducted jointly with Kaiser Permanente of Northern California Division of Research. ...
