Treatment of renal disease - Hypertension

The treatment of kidney disease include drug therapy and nutritional therapy. To avoid further deterioration of renal failure, treatment is designed to control hypertension with antihypertensive drugs and sodium and fluid restriction.

Usually, your doctor will prescribe an ACE inhibitor or a calcium channel blocker to control the patient's hypertension. He may also prescribe a diuretic to reduce fluid overload the patient.

If the patient is the level of phosphateis high, your doctor may limit your intake of phosphate from 700 to 1200 mg per day. It also may prescribe an antacid that contains aluminum hydroxide, aluminum carbonate, calcium phosphate binder. Due to high levels of aluminum can cause neurological symptoms, a calcium phosphate-based binder may be preferable. Antacids containing magnesium is contraindicated because magnesium is excreted by the kidneys.

If the patient has anemia, your doctor may prescribe iron supplementsand folic acid to increase red blood cell production. You can also request erythropoietin is administered intravenously or subcutaneously. However, the patient will have their blood pressure closely monitored due to erythropoietin may aggravate hypertension.

Nutritional therapy may include protein, sodium, potassium, and fluid restrictions. Protein restriction may slow the deterioration of renal function. Generally, if your doctor orders a protein restriction, daily protein intake of the patientbe reduced to 0.6 to 0.8 g / kg body weight.

Sodium restriction can vary from 1 to 3 grams per day, depending on the ability of the patient's kidneys to excrete sodium as well as the amount of edema and the severity of hypertension. If your doctor orders a restriction of potassium intake of potassium in the patient is reduced to 2 to 3 grams per day. Since most salt substitutes containing potassium, to avoid giving the patient with kidney disease.

If ' physician orders a fluid restriction, the patient is usually limited to a contribution equal to the output of urine over 500 ml to 600.

The patient may have a low level of sodium in the serum due to the inability of the kidneys to reabsorb sodium. You can also have a low serum calcium level caused by reduced renal absorption. And his serum potassium and phosphorus may be elevated due to reduced renal excretion of potassium and phosphate.

If you have high blood urea> Nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine, renal disease may cause azotemia. If the kidneys lose their ability to produce erythropoietin, can become anemic.

Kidney disease can cause symptoms of the patient's other body systems. There may be distension of the jugular vein, pulse full and bounding, peripheral edema, pulmonary edema and heart failure. It may show signs of metabolic acidosis, including Kussmaul breathing. And you can develop anorexia, nausea, vomiting,diarrhea, lethargy and difficulty concentrating.

Signs and symptoms of kidney disease - Hypertension

Signs and symptoms of kidney failure may be similar to those of kidney failure, according to the degree of renal impairment. If the patient's kidneys lose the ability to concentrate urine, polyuria and nocturia may develop. If your kidney disease is renal failure and progresses, oliguria may develop. Your urine may have a specific weight and a high concentration of sodium. It may also be bloody or tea colored and contain high concentrations of mold and red> Blood Cells (RBC) and white blood cells (leukocytes).

The patient may have low serum sodium because of their inability to reabsorb sodium kidneys. You can also have a low serum calcium level caused by reduced renal absorption. And his serum potassium and phosphate may be high due to reduced renal excretion of potassium and phosphate.

If you have high urea nitrogen levels (BUN) and creatinine, kidney diseaseresult of urea. If the kidneys lose their ability to produce erythropoietin, can become anemic.

Kidney disease can cause symptoms of the patient's other body systems. There may be distension of the jugular vein, pulse full and bounding, peripheral edema, pulmonary edema and heart failure. It may show signs of metabolic acidosis, including Kussmaul breathing. And you can develop anorexia, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy and difficulty concentrating.

Signs and symptomsPeripheral vascular disease

In the early stages of peripheral vascular disease, the patient may experience pain in the calves or buttocks when walking, depending on the level of vascular occlusion. Usually, this pain, called claudication, disappears with rest.

You can determine the level of occlusion by palpation of peripheral pulses of the patient. If the femoral pulse is reduced, the disease may have the iliac artery. If the popliteal pulse is absent, you can have afemoral artery occlusion.

As the disease progresses, the pain each time to limit the activity of a patient, and will feel pain at rest. The pain can disrupt your sleep, forcing him to sleep with the legs in a dependent position. However, it further compromises the position of venous return, reducing blood flow to the legs.

You may also experience numbness and tingling caused by ischemic nerve tissue in the affected leg. The skin of the affected leg may be hairless, coldtouch, dry and bright. Nails can be enlarged. When the affected leg is elevated, may be evident. When you are in a dependent position, can be ruborous (red-blue-purple).

If the results of peripheral vascular disease in severe ischemia, painful ulcers may form at sites of pressure over bony prominences such as the heel, ankle, fingers and back of the foot. Usually, these ulcers are round, well circumscribed, and light gray. It also can be covered with black scabs.

Kidney disease - the underlying cause of resistant chronic hypertension (high blood pressure).

The kidneys are organs that regulate systemic blood pressure. The kidneys are bean-shaped organs in the back of the abdominal cavity beneath the lower edge of the rib cage and the upper limit of the pelvic cavity. The two kidneys regulate the volume of blood, excrete waste acids, metabolize drugs, electrolyte balance and produce certain hormones. Yes, the kidneys do much more than urine. In Chinese medicine, is still believed that the strength of the kidneys of controlbones, and fertility. This article will focus on how kidney disease can cause high blood pressure or cause intractable.

Hypertension accelerates renal failure. The reverse is also true. In physiology, it is always thought that kidney patients need high blood pressure to maintain tissue perfusion. This simply means that for the rest of the tissues of the body to continue to receive nutrients and oxygen through the blood, kidneys, blood pressure should increase. This is anatural survival mechanism that is incompatible with optimal health.

The renal vascular bed is a low pressure. In other words, the kidneys are very sensitive to changes in blood pressure and tend to react to spasm of the renal arteries (sclerosis) and increased blood pressure through the renin-angiotensin mechanism aldolsterone. Do not let this ride, I'll explain.

Renin is a hormone that is secreted by the juxtaglomerular cells in response to a decrease in blood volume, lowpotassium, adrenaline down, or decrease renal perfusion pressure. Renin then becomes a protein of 10 amino acids (liver) called angiotensinogen to 8-amino acid polypeptide called angiotensin I. Angiotensin - still inactive, but active in the lungs of the angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) to angiotensin II activates. Angiotensin II is a potent vasoconstrictor. At the same time, renin stimulates the adrenal glands (adrenal glands) to secrete a hormone called aldosteronewhich in turn stimulate the nephrons of the kidney to reabsorb salt and water to expand blood volume. All this in an attempt to increase blood pressure.

Now, apart from atherosclerosis and blood viscosity, the leading cause of essential hypertension is the glomerular sclerosis. The glomerulus is the filtration apparatus of the kidneys. Glomerulo-sclerosis is a fancy way of saying that the glomerulus have been hardened by the debris, fibrin clots (fibrosis) and obstruction acid residues of the filters. Therefore, the pressureaccumulates. The flow is now more than off-flow. Nephron tubules or harden at the same time. call this nephrosclerosis. Diabetes can also accelerate this process, such as diabetic nephropathy.

Note that before hypertension is diagnosed, however, half of the kidneys are gone. If hypertension is accompanied by swelling of the legs, swollen eyes and fatigue in the absence of heart failure, renal must have been sick. The sad part is that renal function tests, asBUN and serum creatinine may be normal even in this time.

To avoid end-stage renal failure and hypertension assistant, an ounce of prevention is always better than a pound of cure. Stop all food that is bad for the kidneys, such as junk foods and devitalized fragmented. This fried foods, processed, medications such as aspirin, excess refined sugar, heavy metals (lead and cadmium) heavy animal protein, coffee and diuretics, especially antihypertensives.

Arestore the return to normal kidney before it is too late to do some debridement "with a mixture of enzymes containing proteolytic enzymes such as Nattokinase and Serrapeptase. Herbs environment as milk thistle, bearberry, parsley, beards corn, and buchu kidney. Raw fruits and vegetables also help to reinvigorate and kidney function without harmful drugs. To get rid of heavy metals, EDTA chelation is carried out, malic acid, vitamin C, N -acetylcysteine, magnesium, vitamin B6, CoQ10 andZinc.
