High Blood Pressure and Kidney Disease

Blood pressure measures the force of blood against the walls of your blood vessels. Blood pressure that remains high over time is called hypertension. Extra fluid in your body increases the amount of fluid in your blood vessels and makes your blood pressure higher. Narrow or clogged blood vessels also raise your blood pressure.
High blood pressure makes your heart work harder and, over time, can damage blood vessels throughout your body. If the blood vessels in your kidneys are damaged, they may stop removing wastes and extra fluid from your body. The extra fluid in your blood vessels may then raise blood pressure even more. It's a dangerous cycle.
High blood pressure is one of the leading causes of kidney failure, also commonly called end-stage renal disease (ESRD). People with kidney failure must either receive a kidney transplant or go on dialysis. Every year, high blood pressure causes more than 25,000 new cases of kidney failure in the United States.
Every year, high blood pressure causes more than 25,000 new cases of kidney failure in the United States.
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is present when the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is below 60 milliliters per minute (mL/min).
More than 30 milligrams of albumin per gram of creatinine in a urine sample is another sign of CKD.
People with CKD should try to keep their blood pressure below 130/80.
Two groups of medicines called angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) lower blood pressure and have an added protective effect on the kidneys.
African Americans are six times more likely than Caucasians to develop hypertension-related kidney failure.
Early management of high blood pressure is especially important for African Americans with diabetes.

A New Breakthrough of FSGS Treatment

FSGS is short for Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis, which reflects the damage in the renal glomerulus. Due to the immune reaction caused by immune complex deposition, the damage in the kidney glomerulus are really serious gradually. The sclerosis will take place partially in the renal glomerulus. In this case, the blood and oxygen in the kidney will be insufficient, which in turn worsen damage in the kidney. In FSGS stage, quiet a few patients are under dialysis, which many people have realize that can not treat from root and with time passing by, patients may can not get rid of dialysis. Is there a new breakthrough of FSGS treatment?
The combination therapy of both western medicine and Chinese herbs will give a turn in the progressing of FSGS and make a breakthrough.
As we know, in many countries, kinds of hormones and immunosuppressive agents are applied, which can control the immune reaction in the kidney and diminish the symptoms. However, immune complex still exist in the kidney, which will lead to continuous reaction. Especially after infection, a lot of immune complex will appear, which causes symptom to appear once more.
So if we want to make a new breakthrough, we should enhance the immune ability as well as clear away the immune complex. To achieve this, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can take effects, which is partial immunotherapy in Kidney Disease Hospital.
Firstly, it can help extend the blood vessels especially the micro-blood vessels, in which case, the Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis can be relieved for the nutritious herbs can supply more oxygen and nutrition to the renal glomerulus. At this moment, the damaged cells can be repaired to some extent.
On the other hand, in Micro-Chinese Medicine, there are herbs which can enhance the immunity of patients with FSGS. In this case, our body gains ability to clear away the immune complex in the kidney. Even in the later time, infection invades, the immune system cells can defeat the bacteria and virus, etc, which can prevent the relapse of symptoms such as hematuria and proteinuria, etc. For more information about the new breakthrough of FSGS, welcome to communicate with us online or email us.
