Kidney Disease Hospital

Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital, which has developed into a modernized organization specializing kidney disease treatment, located in Shijiazhuang city – the capital of Hebei Province，China. Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital was founded in 1986; the building area is more than 4000 square meters, and it is the largest specialized kidney disease hospital with the most complete and advanced equipment in China. These three treatments have proven to be effective after years of clinical application. And hundreds of thousands of patients have benefited from these therapies. The In-service Education Center of Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital is the specialized training institution. It mainly provides pre-post education and in-service training for members in and out of our hospital, which is taught by well-known medical experts. The institution supplied large amount of skilled doctors and clinical experts of kidney disease for the clinic and research, which helps improved the doctors' clinical treatment level and guaranteed the clinical effect. Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital has the most detailed branches and most complete administrative departments in the field of kidney disease treatment all over the China. According to the types of Nephropathy, the hospital set up eighteen inpatient areas, which include Nephritis, Nephrotic Syndrome, Renal Failure, Uremia, Renal Cyst, Diabetes Nephropathy,Chronic Kidney Disease, Hypertension Nephropathy,Polycystic Kidney Disease Renal Purpura, Renal Pediatrics, Renal Rehabilitation Department, etc. Apart from that, our hospital is also equipped with large-scale hemodialysis center. The 36 sets of dialysis machine and 3 sets of ultrafilter are available to assort and to promote complex dialysis tasks. The 39 sets of dialysis equips and 2 sets of water treatment facilities are all "Fusenyousi" top-grade equipment originally imported from Germany, which provided a reliable guarantee for the clinical treatment. The item of Renal Fibrosis Inspection of Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital is the most important basis that supports the theory of Renal Fibrosis, in which test of "Matrix Metalloproteinases MMPs" content study, displaying the degree of Renal Fibrosis, is a domestic original project; we took a comparison test between routine examination and test of intrinsic kidney cells injury condition & degree of Renal Fibrosis, which not only provided abundance practical science basis, but also mass of detailed experimental data for the combined traditional Chinese medical treatment and western medical treatment. And this has got high praise from industry colleagues. The therapy of Blocking Renal Fibrosis by Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmosis is the head characteristic therapy in Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital. After years of clinical practice and testing of tens of thousands of cases, now the book 'Renal Fibrosis Basic Theory and Clinical Practice" (published by Hebei Science Press) has already been published and issued. This book recorded our hospital's pathology and achievements on kidney disease of the past more than twenty years detailed, and became the first monograph in renal fibrosis field in China.

Chronic kidney disease

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) refers to conditions that damage your kidneys and decrease their ability to keep you healthy by doing the jobs such as regulating the balance of water and electrolyte, discharging metabolic waste and secreting hormones essential to human body.

If kidney disease gets worse, metabolic wastes can accumulate to high levels in your blood and make you feel sick. You may present complications like edema, high blood pressure, anemia, proteinuria, hematuria, respiratory tract problem, gastrointestinal tract disorder and nerve problems. In addition, kidney disease increases your incidence of having heart and blood vessel disease. These problems may emerge slowly over a long period of time.

Chronic kidney disease may be aroused by diabetes, elevated blood pressure and other disorders. Early detection and treatment is advisable and helpful to prevent chronic kidney disease from getting worse. When kidney disease progresses, it may eventually lead to renal failure, which requires dialysis or a kidney transplant to replace your original damaged kidneys.

Chronic Kidney Disease does not show obvious symptoms in the early stages, because kidney is such a particular organ that it has a very qualified compensatory ability. Each kidney has more than 100 million nephrons which is the basic point. Given some nephrons damaged, the rest and healthy nephrons can still sustain the normal running of your kidneys, so you can not realize you have got chronic kidney disease. If other healthy nephrons get imposed on too much burden over time, they can also get injured due to overworking. Consequently, a series of symptoms come across, for instance, Edema in general body, Lumbago, Elevated Blood Pressure, Anemia, Anuria and enuresis nocturna.

Usually, patients can go to the hospital for urine routine test, blood routine test and renal functional examination. Nephrotic physicians diagnose your disease through checking these watershed indicators, such as Serum Creatinine, Urea Nitrogen, GFR, urine specific gravity, erythrocyte and leukocyte. In usually cases, the level of serum creatinine does not present bumpy, even though a part of renal function go haywire. However, your renal function is virtually impaired when the level of serum creatinine hikes suddenly. Combining with GFR and other indicators, the doctor’s diagnosis will be more reliable.

Many patients would resort to hemodialysis and kidney transplant when they are in the end stage of Chronic Kidney Disease. Actually Dialysis is effective and necessary to remove metabolic waste and toxin in human body, but patients is probably to addict dialysis. Long term of dialysis will replace the original kidney and they can become atrophy day by day because of Ischemia and Anoxia of kidney blood vessels. Micro-Chinese Medicine can promote blood circulation so as to relieve kidney’s ischemia and anoxia. Renal fibrosis can be blocked and even restored through treatment. Kidney Transplant has a high successful rate of surgery, but its survival rate is bleak and uncontrolled. Patients must be prudent to prevent rejection and inflammation, a small cold would let renal fail. We use stem cell transplant which can differentiate into various tissues and organs according to our requirement. This kind of cell has qualified homing ability, and it can reach damaged area and grow into blood cells and tissue. Moreover, it is transfused into human body through intravenous injection and does not need matching at all, therefore this approach is very superior to kidney transplant in terms of safety and convenience.

Polycystic kidney disease

Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD), also called Potter syndrome or Perlman syndrome, is a genetic disorder, which can be divided into Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) and Autosomal Recessive Polycystic Kidney Disease (ARPKD). ARPKD can be diagnosed typically in the first few weeks after birth and the children are usually unable to live out their childhood. So we mainly talk about ADPKD here. Causing genes The Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease is caused by two genes: ADPKD1 and ADPKD2. ADPKD1 lies in the short arm of chromosome 16, while ADPKD2 is located on the short arm of chromosome 4. As is reported, patients with ADPKD2, especially the female patients, tend to have less severe ill conditions than patients with ADPKD1. The signs or symptoms of ADPKD1 like kidney function declining or renal failure may appear later than that of people with ADPKD2. ADPKD2 is responsible for 90% cases of Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease. With autosomal dominant inheritance, there is a 50% chance that the disease will pass to the children of one patient with PKD. The general course Patients are born with cysts which are too small to check out. At their twenties, cysts usually have began to grow but without any visible or perceptible symptoms. When patients reach their thirties or forties, cysts in their kidneys will get bigger shapely. Blood pressure becomes slightly high among those patients, which can further speed up the deterioration of PKD. After about ten years of high blood pressure, namely at their forties, patients will have the tumid cysts and severe symptoms occur such as hemature, proteinuria and flank pain. The renal function begins to fail. After the age of fifties, PKD will cause real insufficiency or renal failure as well as cysts in liver and other organs. The severe complications will also occur such as cerebral aneurysm and heart diseases, which take the main responsibility for the death of patients with PKD. Clinical symptoms If PKD is on exertion, flank pain and high blood pressure are its first symptoms. Flank pain is persistent or paroxysmal, which will become severe after tiredness. With high blood pressure, patients may have headache and dizziness. Patients can feel the cysts when they touch their back or waist. About half of patients with PKD will have hematuria and one fourth of the patients show renal colic, frequent urination and urgent urination. In late stages of PKD, renal insufficiency or Kidney Failure comes up with their severe symptoms. Although the pathological course of Polycystic Kidney Disease is still unknown, the damaged renal intrinsic cells and its clinical symptoms can be assured. Therefore, there can be a way of treating Polycystic Kidney Disease effectively.

Diabetes Mellitus

Diabetes Mellitus refers to the decreased function of pancreas and the insulin reactions which are caused by hereditary factors, disordered immunity, infections with microorganism and toxins, and mental factors, etc. Consequently, the metabolism of glucose, protein, fat, water and electrolyte are abnormal. In clinic, Diabetes is characterized as high blood glucose, and excessive urine, excessive thirsty and appetite, loss of weight will also appear in typical cases. When blood glucose is out of control, kidneys, eyes and feet will always have pathological changes as well and they are difficult to treat.

Diabetes is called Silent Killer in western countries. The morbidity of Diabetes is so high especially among those people who are older than 40. Once getting Diabetes, lifespan will decrease consequently, and there will be many kinds of complications. If one has Diabetes, he may suffer a lot from the disease, that is, he must be thirsty very often, get awake in the night many times for urination, be hungry yet when having enough food, lose weight obviously and want to sleep all the time. He may feel malaise in the whole body. When he can feel some symptoms clearly, the disease has already deteriorated a lot, and the complications are hiding everywhere in the body. Among all the complications lead by Diabetes, kidney disease, retina disease and neurological disorder occur the most often, and they are called The Top Three Complications of Diabetes. 80% of people with Diabetes will suffer from these diseases when they have Diabetes for more than 20 years. What's more, when one gets Diabetes, his immunity will become weak and is likely to catch a cold, have pneumonia and other diseases aroused by inflammation.

Diabetes is so common in modern society. In Japan, among those who are older than 40, one person in ten has Diabetes. Also, there are so many diseases caused by Diabetes and they all threaten people's life. Therefore, everyone should have examinations regularly, and once there are some symptoms, he/she needs to see a doctor as soon as possible.
