Treatment for Hypertensive Nephropathy

Hypertensive Nephropathy is a secondary kidney disease which is caused by long time high blood pressure. According to the data from recent years, among those who are under dialysis, renal failure patients whose disease is caused by primary kidney is decreasing, while those whose kidney disease is caused by high blood pressure is increasing. Experts in kidney disease field say that as long as patients find and treat high blood pressure as soon as possible, they can avoid kidney damage. However, in most time, when many patients develop into uremia stage, they start to realize that high blood pressure caused it. So how to treat Hypertensive Nephropathy?
Firstly, let’s know about the pathological mechanism of high blood pressure. Continuous high blood pressure in arteries leads to arteriosclerosis in the whole body, which leads to the supply of blood in the tissues and organs, causing serious result. And in this case, the complications of high blood pressure come into being. Among the complications, Hypertensive Nephropathy is the most obvious one. What’s more, people who are diagnosed with Hypertensive Nephropathy are increasing day by day.
Long time high blood pressure will lead to the insufficiency of blood in kidney. Day by day, kidney glomeruli and kidney tubules suffer from change and their functions decline consequently. With time passing by, the sclerosis of glomeruli is more serious, which leads to renal failure and even uremia. So effective and timely treatment is necessary.
Many patients in western countries choose western medicines such as hypotensor, and don’t adjust the treatment plan, which makes them miss the best opportunity. Western medicine can not treat the damaged intrinsic cells and only focus on diminishing the symptoms.
In contrast, Chinese medicine contains much active and nutritious materials, which can first promote the blood circulation and dissolve the blood stasis, after which, an inner environment is created. Then the nutrition in Chinese medicine can also repair the damaged intrinsic cells and recover renal functions gradually. As we mentioned above, in advanced stage, there appear sclerosis, which means that many intrinsic cells become nephrotic. However, Chinese medicine can not help. At this moment, Hypertensive Nephropathy patients are suggested to receive stem cell transplant. Stem cells are primary cells which can differentiate into different cells which have various functions which the body is in need of after they are transplanted into the body.
Compared with western medicine, stem cell has advantages.
The advantages of stem cell therapy are as follows:
1. Stem cell therapy can enter kidney nidus and then play roles and has no side effect.
2. Stem cell can generate capillary blood vessels and improve partial micro-circulation.
3. It can secrete a series of nutritious stimulating factors, which activates the damaged intrinsic cells and makes them recover.
4. Improve the damaged immunologic function.
In other words, the combination treatment of Chinese medicine and stem cell transplant is the best choice.
Besides these, patients with Hypertensive Nephropathy should also pay attention to the following aspects so as to assist the treatment.
Firstly, Hypertensive Nephropathy patients should change the diet habit and take in food with the instructions from doctors. They should control the supply of energy. Take in proper amount of energy according to their specific condition such as weight. In addition, Hypertensive Nephropathy patients often have disorder of fat metabolism. So reducing the intake of fat is also necessary.
Secondly, Hypertensive Nephropathy patients should also keep low salt diet and rich vitamin. They should control the intake of salt and avoid salted food. In addition, those with preservative should also be limited. The intake of vitamin is also beneficial to the metabolism adjustment.
