Overview of Kidney Failure


Overview of Kidney Failure
Chronic kidney failure is also called as chronic renal insufficiency and uremia, which refers to chronic progressive renal parenchyma injuries, resulting in obvious atrophy of kidney and then the kidney fails to maintain basic functions. In clinic, clinical syndrome is mainly characterized by retention of metabolites, balance disorder of water, electrolytes, acid and alkali, affecting all systems of human body. From onset of primary disease to occurrence of renal insufficiency, the interval time may be several years to more than 10 years. Chronic kidney failure is the serious stage of renal insufficiency.

What diseases may lead to chronic kidney failure?
1. Glomerular nephritis
2. Renal dysplasia, congenital polycystic kidney, vesicoureteral reflux and congenital anomalies of urinary system.
3. Herditary nephropathy, medullary cystic disease of kidney, Fanconi syndrome and other genetic disease.
4. Renal arteriolar sclerosis, hypertension, connective tissue disease and other systemic diseases.
5. Renal tubular interstitial injury.
6. Diabetic nephropathy.
7. Autoimmune and connective tissue disease and kidney injuries.
 What factors may make kidney failure worse?
1. Hypovolemia (blood volume in the blood vessel is not enough for body metabolism)
2. Improper diet (increase the kidney burden)
3. Overwork
4. High blood pressure (poorly controlled blood is the main burden)
5. Urinary obstruction and improper drug application.

Symptoms of Cerebral Palsy

Symptoms of Cerebral Palsy Symptoms of cerebral palsy are more obvious in newborn babies but parents tend to think that these symptoms are simple slow development, eventually missing the best treatment time. Parents shall take a look and carefully understand symptoms of cerebral palsy. Main symptoms of cerebral palsy 1. Movement disorder When moving, their hands and feet are not coordinated and they are physically weak. Patients can’t grasp objects with their hands, can’t walk with feet, even are unable to roll over, sit up or stand and can’t chew or swallow normally. 2. Disorder of gestures Patients have gesture abnormalities and poor posture stability and still can’t raise head straightly when they are three months old. Head tends to lean on one side or sways back and forth. Patients are unable to turn over when six months old and can’t sit steadily. Children with cerebral palsy don’t like bath and it is difficult to break their fist apart when washing...

Stem cell anti-aging

Why do we age  and how we can stop it Aging is a complex process in which stem cells and fibroblasts are progressively damaged by stress, nutrition, and lifestyle, until they finally die.  Eventually, your body loses its ability to heal properly and some chronic problems may occur, especially with the kidney, liver, and digestive tract.  These problems can affect not only your energy, vitality, sex drive, and sleep quality, but also the apparent health of the skin on your face, neck, chest, and hands. Declining functionality of the fibroblasts can also lead to poor collagen level, wrinkles, and saggy dry skin.  - By the age of 35, your cell production rate drops by 45 percent. - At 50, your cell production rate is cut in half. - By the time you've reached 65, cell production rate is down by a whopping 90 percent. How to treat the core causes of aging One of the most common ways to get rid of visibly aging skin is plastic surgery. H...

Lack of stem cells may be the key to recurrent miscarriage

图片
A new study suggests that the lack of stem cells in the uterine wall may lead to recurrent miscarriage. "We have found that there are certain defects in the uterine wall of patients with recurrent spontaneous abortion," said Jan Brosens, leader of the research team, who is a professor of obstetrics and gynaecology at Warwick University. “It is conceivable that we can achieve the desire to become pregnant by correcting these defects in patients. In fact, this may be the only way to prevent miscarriage in this situation,” Brosens said at a university press conference. 15% to 25% of pregnancies will end in miscarriage. Repeated abortion occurs in 1 of 100 mothers. Among them, the researchers point out that recurrent abortion means that three or more consecutive pregnancy ends in abortion. At the same time, scientists say stem cells have the potential to differentiate into many different types of cells. In the study, the team analyzed endometrial samples f...
