Increased Urination At Night with Polycystic Kidney Disease

Polycystic Kidney Disease with increased urination at night wakes up more frequently than usual, in order to urinate during the night. Depending on how much fluid a person drinks during the day, most people urinate every 4 to 6 hours during the night.

Symptoms that occur with increased urinary frequency at night may include a sensation of bladder fullness, increased urge to urinate, urinary incontinence,pain during urination, blood in the urine, lower abdominal pain, low back pain, or flank pain.

The treatment for increased urination at night depends on the underlying cause. Treatment for increased urination at night may include medications that relax the bladder.

Eat a mostly low-fat diet full of fruits and vegetables, which are high in helpful antioxidants. Plant proteins also help lower blood pressure and may help slow the growth of kidney cysts.

Reduce or eliminate animal proteins. Limit animal products to occasional broths, poultry, fish, low-fat cheese and egg whites, keeping quantities to 3 oz. per day or less.Avoid excess amounts of salt, which causes your blood pressure to rise.

Consume a diet rich in whole grains, vegetables and fruit, along with limiting consumption of trans and saturated fats wherever possible. A balanced meal should include a protein source, a fruit, a vegetable, a whole grain and some healthy unsaturated fats.

Does Everyone with PKD Develop Kidney Failure

No. About 50 percent of people with PKD will have kidney failure by age 60, and about 60 percent will have kidney failure by age 70. People with kidney failure will need dialysis or a kidney transplant. Certain people have an increased risk of kidney failure including:

men

patients with high blood pressure

patients with protein or blood in their urine

women with high blood pressure who have had more than three pregnancies

Exercise recommended for PKD

Absolutely. However, exercises that are potentially harmful to the kidney, such as contact sports, should be avoided. It is important not to become too dehydrated during any physical activity.

The Tips for Diabetes Patients

The incidence of diabetes is rapidly increasing. Each year, thousands of people are newly diagnosed with diabetes. Besides the medications, people also need to learn self-care to keep healthy. This article aims to provide some tips for diabetes patients.

1. Choose a good doctor with rich experience of diabetes. You need to keep close contact with your doctor often telling him your illness condition and then receiving the proper treatment.
2. Learn more about diabetes. You need to learn some information about diabetes by the books or lectures so that you can improve your ability to prevent the diabetes.

Skin and foot is also the focus you need to pay more attention to. Prevent infection and complications.

Diabetes is not serious but the complications like kidney disease, eye problems, heart problems, nerve disease are life-threatening. So the self-care is very important for diabetes patients. If you have any other questions about diabetes, you can consult the experts online. We are glad to help you!

Can Diabetes Be Cured?

Q: I am diagnosed with Diabetes type 2. After panic, I calm down and attend some public speaking about diabetes. I got that complications make diabetes horrible. In my mind, the most horrible is Uremia related to diabetes. I want to now, once present, can Diabetes be cured?

A: Diabetes kidney disease belongs to one of the diabetic complication. Strict therapy of control blood sugar is suggested to be reversible for patients in the Stage I and Stage II theoretically. However, diabetes is asymptomatic in clinic, it is hard to be found. Once stage III presents, it can not be cured theoretically. As a result, once diagnosed with diabetes, patients should pay enough attention in preventions of Diabetic Nephropathy. They should take tests and examinations regularly, in order to find and treat it as soon as possible. The following are several advices for preventions.

1. Control the level of blood sugar, blood pressure and blood fat and try your best to approach the normal range.

2. Once proteinuria presents, talk to your doctor and take measures as soon as possible.

3. Do not take medicines and foods which are harmful for kidneys. Prevent infections, poisoning and anoxia.

4. Take Natural Chinese Therapy which shows great effects in remedying diabetes patients, especially for patients who have already stepped into stage III. However, once diabetes develops into Stage IV or Stage V, it is difficult to achieve a remarkable effect.

What are the Functions of Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy

As an innovative therapy of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy has been applied in our hospital for many years to treat a wide range of kidney diseases effectively. The functions of the Chinese herbal remedy include four aspects: expanding blood vessels, anti-inflammation, anti-coagulation, and degradation. Continue reading to learn more about this popular treatment.

● Expanding blood vessels

Through expanding all kinds of renal arteries, we can improve the perfusion of the glomeruli, reduce the glomeruli's inner pressure, and decrease the high filtration state of the glomeruli. In this way, we can control and delay the progression of glomerular sclerosis.

By expanding peripheral blood vessels, the general blood circulation throughout the whole body can be increased, and the obstacles of the skin and microcirculation can be improved. Therefore, various poisoning symptoms of Renal Failure can be remitted.

This therapy can also expand the gastrointestinal blood vessels so as to enhance the blood perfusion of digestive tract and eliminate the obstacles in the tract. In this case, edema of digestive tract will disappear, secretion of gastrointestinal liquid can be increased, and the digestive tract remove the toxins gradually.

● Anti-inflammation

Active substances contained in Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can release series of inflammatory mediators and renal toxic factors and prevent the phenotypic transformation of renal intrinsic cells. Through inhibiting the inflammatory response, we can prevent the infiltration of inflammatory cells, the release of inflammatory mediators and toxic factors. Through stopping the phenotypic transformation of renal intrinsic cells, we can protect the healthy and remaining functional nephrons, and block the progression of the renal injury.

● Anti-coagulation

Special material of Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can take effect to invigorate the blood circulation and release pressure of veins, thus improving the general micro-circulation and alleviated the renal ischemia and anoxia.

In this condition, the diseased capillary endothelial cells get repaired and synthesized.
They can produce series of factors including ON, PGI2, bradykinin and so on. Meanwhile, the synthesis and secretion of PDGF, TXA2, and ET - 1 can be inhibited, its activity is inactivated, and platelet adhesion and accumulation gets inhibited. Therefore, the function of dissolving microthrombuses is realized, so the effects of depressurization, anticoagulation, anti-thrombus and protecting the remaining kidney tissues get achieved.

● Degradation

After getting into the kidneys, special ingredients of Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy will become integrated with myofibroblast and extracellular matrix (ECM), and then release effective medicine ingredients to attack, broke, degrade and discharge them out of the body. Besides, the synthesis of renal degrading enzymes can be promoted, and its activity gets enhanced. Then it can degrade the ECM, prevent renal injury, repair impaired glomeruli, tubules and renal interstitium. As a result, we can repair the renal damage caused by hypertension completely.

How to Treat Edema

With the development of the disease of Polycystic Kidney Disease, some patients have the symptom of edema.

Then what are the causes of edema? How to treat renal edema? 

As we all know that kidney is an important organ to eliminate the water and sodium in the human body. When the people have kidney disease, the excretion of the kidney will be declined, which will lead to the retention of the water and sodium in the human body. The specific causes of the renal edema includes the following aspects:

①, the decline of glomerulus filtration function;

②, the change of permeability of systematic blood capillary, which will cause that the water entry the tissue space;

③, the decrease of plasma albumin, which will cause the decrease of plasma osmotic pressure;

④, the decrease of effective blood volume, which will lead to the increase of aldosterone

Then how can we treat the renal edema? As for treatment of renal edema, we mainly adopt Micro-Chinese Medicine Osomtherapy, which has the functions of activating the function of renal intrinsic cells, reversing and recovering the normal cell metabolism, improving the obstruction of microcirculation of the damaged kidney, proving aerobic environment for the repairing and promoting the repairing of the damaged kidney. in addition, this type of therapy possesses two curative effects, the first one is: expand the vessels on the vascular wall surround the polycystic kidney disease, accelerate the blood circulation of cyst wall, promote the permeability of cyst wall, promote the inner press decrease of cyst wall vessels, reverse the differential pressure caused by intravascular pressure higher than intracapsular pressure, accelerate the vessels resorption of the cyst liquid. The second one is: the active substance of Micro-Chinese Medicine can restrain the secretion of cyst wall epithelial cell; prevent the continue expanding of bursa wall vessels and cyst.

By this, this therapy can treat the symptom of edema fundamentally. At the same time, this therapy can control the progression the disease of Polycystic Kidney Disease.

Key Points to Protect Kidneys for Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease

1. Reasonable Diet. The diet for Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease should be light and they should eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. Consume chicken, fish, milk with low fat properly. Avoid consuming too much protein and salt. Avoid consuming sports beverage which contains extra electrolyte and salt.

2. Prevent infections. Take care of the weather change and prevent cold. Keep the waist warm in winter and do not make the waist too cool in summer. Take more exercise and improve the immunity of our body. Prevent the infection of urinary tract which can be caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia for men and pelvic cavity disease for women. Once getting infection, patients should receive treatment in time.

3. Be cautious with nephrotoxic medicines. Pain-killers, cold medicines and antibiotics can cause great damage to the function of kidneys and they should be used under the instruction of doctors; women should not take diet pill in abuse which can lead to Kidney Disease.

4. Receive treatment in time. Many people may develop Chronic Nephritis at a young age, but they do not have knowledge about it. Receive treatment in time when you have streptococcus infections in laryngeal and amygdale which might lead to Chronic Nephritis.

5. Be optimistic. Long time in bad mood and scare will damage the function of kidneys. To sleep and get up regularly and have a good rest. The good habit plays a very important role to keep healthy.

6. Well control blood sugar and blood pressure. Long time Diabetes and blood pressure out of control can cause vascular sclerosis because kidneys are composed of millions of capillaries. If blood sugar and blood pressure are not under control, the kidney can be damaged easily.

7. Prevent other diseases from damaging kidneys. Some diseases such as Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, Urinary Calculi, dehydration in a large amount, hemorrhage etc. --all can lead to the damage of kidneys.
