How Does Complex Renal Cyst with Back Pains Happen

Complex renal cyst refers to intracystic hemorrhage,accompanied with renal cyst organization, infection or calcification. And due to the diversities of capsule contents, complex renal cyst usually is irregular in shape and difficult to diagnose. With the enlargement of renal cyst, patients will suffer back pains. There are still not a exact answer that why patients suffer from renal cyst, but we have a clear knowledge about the symptoms and treatment for complex renal cyst.

The cause of back pains in complex renal cyst

Due to the epithelial cells on cyst walls secreting cyst fluid continually, the kidney get heavier and heavier. At the work of gravity, the kidney will sink, involving the nerves and tissues around the kidney. So renal cyst patients sometimes suffer back pains.

What can patients can do to treat the complex renal cyst with back pains

When renal cyst patients have suffered back pains, they are not suitable for movements in case of the cyst rupture which would bring more pains to patients such as infection, blood urine, pains around the kidney and so on. Except having a good rest, the daily diet also plays an important role in inhibiting the cyst fluids secretion and the unhealthy foods and stimulated foods are forbidden for renal cyst patients.

This article mainly recommend the Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy to complex renal cyst patients. Compared with the surgery treatment, it is more natural and thorough for it would not cause any trauma on human body and no matter where the cyst located, the medicine always can shrink the cyst and block the way of cyst growth. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is suitable for all kinds of renal cysts.

All in all, once complex renal cyst patients found that they are attacked by the disease,they should pay more attention to their physical conditions and have a timely treatment. Only when the cyst are shrunk, the back pains and other symptoms can be remitted from root.

Preventing kidney stones: It may be as simple as changing your diet

Kidney stones are extremely common -- about 13 percent of men and 7 percent of women in the United States will get one in their lifetime -- and occur when tiny crystals in the urine (calcium, phosphorus and other minerals or salts) come together to form a hard deposit. Studies have shown that 35 to 50 percent of people who get them will get them again within five years without treatment.

Here are a few helpful tips for preventing kidney stones with everyday foods and dietary interventions:

Drink plenty of clean water

This point simply cannot be overstated, as pure, fluoride-free water truly is the master cleanser when it comes to maintaining clean kidneys that are free of stones and other toxic buildup. Drinking at least four liters of water every day will not only help prevent kidney stones from forming, but also quickly eliminate any small stones that may have already formed. Some health practitioners also recommend drinking distilled water to prevent and flush kidney stones.

Add fresh lemon, lime and apple cider vinegar to daily beverages

Taking this a step further, adding fresh lemon or lime juice, or apple cider vinegar, to your beverages throughout the day will help alkalize your body, effectively blocking the formation of kidney stones. These alkalizing juices will also help quickly dissolve any existing stones that might be present in your kidneys, keeping them clean and stone-free.

Eat foods that are naturally high in calcium

This point may run contrary to your existing line of thinking as far as kidney stones are concerned, but natural calcium is actually beneficial for preventing kidney stones. According to a recent study published in the Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, dietary calcium actually binds with calcium oxalate, the substance that makes up most kidney stones, and crystallizes and flushes it from the body before it has a chance to form into stones.

How to Prevent Kidney Stones Naturally

Kidney stones form when certain chemicals become concentrated enough in the urine to form crystals. The crystals grow into larger masses (stones), which can make their way through the urinary tract. If the stone gets stuck somewhere and blocks the flow of urine, it causes pain.

This would be my top priority for any patient suffering from kidney stones, specifically calcium-oxalate stones. As many of Chris’s readers know, we require more than just vitamin D to properly metabolize calcium in our diets and in our blood, yet unfortunately, most nephrologists and dietitians never consider the role other fat soluble vitamins play in calcium metabolism. But vitamin A and vitamin K2 are two nutrients that are critical for balancing out the effects of vitamin D and making sure the calcium from our diet gets deposited into our bones and not into our arteries.

Drink plenty of water: Drinking extra water dilutes the substances in urine that lead to stones. Strive to drink enough fluids to pass 2 liters of urine a day, which is roughly eight standard 8-ounce cups. It may help to include some citrus beverages, like lemonade and orange juice. The citrate in these beverages helps block stone formation.

Get the calcium you need: Getting too little calcium in your diet can cause oxalate levels to rise and cause kidney stones. To prevent this, make sure to take in an amount of calcium appropriate to your age. Ideally, obtain calcium from foods, since some studies have linked taking calcium supplements to kidney stones. Men 50 and older should get 1,000 milligrams (mg) of calcium per day, along with 800 to 1,000 international units (IU) of vitamin D to help the body absorb the calcium.

Eat More Carbohydrates

Another problem that people on a run-of-the-mill Paleo diet might encounter is an inadequate intake of carbohydrate. While carbohydrate is not an essential macronutrient in the most basic biochemical description, a very low carb diet can lead to profound health problems in certain individuals, such as depressed thyroid function, nutrient deficiencies like scurvy, and even insulin resistance. Many people eating a Paleo diet tend to eat lower carb simply because of the nature of the ‘banned’ foods being higher in carbohydrate, such as grains and dairy.

Kidney Cancer Linked to Kidney Stones

A kidney stone is a hard object that is made from chemicals in the urine. But can be found at any point in your urinary tract. The urinary tract includes the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. Not all kidney stones are made up of the same crystals.

Patients with a history of kidney stones are at significantly higher risk of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and transitional cell carcinoma (TCC), according to the findings of a meta-analysis presented at the 2014 Kidney Week meeting.

The meta-analysis, by Wisit Cheungpasitporn, MD, of Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., and colleagues, included 7 studies. A history of kidney stones was associated with a significant 76% increased risk of RCC and a 2.1 times increased risk of TCC.

In subgroup analyses, the risk of RCC associated with stones was significant only in male subjects. The researchers concluded that their findings may impact clinical management and cancer surveillance. Our kidney disease hospital email kidneyhospitalabroad@hotmail.com

Extended Hemodialysis May Improve Phosphate Control

Since the 1960s, when hemodialysis first became a practical treatment for kidney failure, we've learned much about how to make hemodialysis treatments more effective and minimize side effects.  Hemodialysis can be an outpatient or inpatient therapy. Routine hemodialysis is conducted in a dialysis outpatient facility, either a purpose built room in a hospital or a dedicated, stand alone clinic.

Extended treatment time (TT) on hemodialysis (HD) may improve serum phosphate control, according to study findings presented at the 2014 Kidney Week meeting.

Investigators at Imperial College Hospital NHS Trust and North Bristol NHS Trust in the U.K. compared extended TT (6 hours) and standard TT (4 hours) on HD in a randomized, crossover study that included 29 patients. During the extended TT phase of the study, serum phosphate decreased significantly from 1.67 g/dL before treatment to 1.27 g/dL after 6 hours of treatment.

During the standard TT phase, serum phosphate increased significantly from 1.51 g/dL before treatment to 1.94 g/dL after 4 hours of treatment.

In addition, during the standard TT phase, researchers observed a significant increase in extracellular water, whereas during the extended TT phase, patients had no significant change in hydration status.

Early dialysis important

“Our findings support the feasibility of using early dialysis as a potential standard of care and protective measure when a hurricane or other ‘notice event' is anticipated to interrupt dialysis treatment,” the authors wrote.

 “Emergency preparedness and response depend on good planning and strong day-to-day systems. Many dialysis providers routinely organize early dialysis for patients in advance of major holidays, suggesting that systems are in place to provide such care in advance of a major storm.”

The investigators stated that, from a preparedness perspective, “dialysis facilities should consider having plans in place to provide early dialysis to patients in advance of predictable disasters such as hurricane and to ensure their ability to function in a disaster.”

In a statement prepared by the National Kidney Foundation (NKF), which publishes the American Journal of Kidney Diseases, corresponding author Nicole Lurie, MD, Department of Health and Human Services Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response, stated that the research clearly showed that delaying dialysis can have devastating health effects for patients with ESRD.

“The good news is that we saw a lot of patients receiving dialysis before the storm hit. That type of advance planning by patients and their facilities should become routine nationwide,” she said. “Everyone involved should know what to do when their facilities might close—patients should know where to go, and facilities should be able to provide a surge in early dialysis care so treatment is not delayed. At the end of the day, that helps people and their communities be more resilient.”

Room for improvement
Dr. Lurie pointed out that 40% of patients did not receive early dialysis, meaning “there is still plenty of room for dialysis patient and facility improvement. I hope these findings serve as a rallying cry not just for the dialysis community, but for all people with any type of chronic health condition and their care providers to plan for emergencies.”

“This is an important analysis of the impact of Hurricane Sandy in October 2012 on individuals treated with in-center hemodialysis that ultimately helps the dialysis community better anticipate what might go wrong, improve emergency plans for disaster scenarios, and more rapidly respond to protect the health of our patients during emergencies,” said Joseph Vassalotti, MD, NKF's Chief Medical Officer. “The study reflects another step forward to improve the education and training of patients and dialysis clinic staff, following the widely recognized poor response to Hurricane Katrina in August 2005.”

Of cause, there are other therapies for dialysis patients and be used according to the specific physical condition of patients.And now if you are interested in our Traditional Chinese Medicine treatment for mental confusion in kidney failure, you can contact our online doctors, leave us messages or send email to kidneyfightd@hotmail.com, we will reply you within 24 hours.

What Factors That May Affect the Prognosis of PKD?

PKD is a genetic kidney disease which means there are many small and big cysts spreading in kidneys. with the secretion of cysts fluids and enlargement of cysts, PKD patients would duffer more and more symptoms and kidney function get decline. There are many factors that are related with the cysts growth. Knowing these factors can benefit for slow down the prognosis of PKD.

1. The age when people get PKD

PKD is a genetic kidney disease, but the time or age when people get it is different from case to case. When people get PKD in an early age, they may have a bad prognosis to develop into kidney failure. However, when people get PKD in middle age or older, they may have a better prognosis to live a long life.

2. Daily diet

The daily diet may also affect the prognosis in PKD. If patients eat healthy diet, such as low-salt, low- protein, healthy foods, and keep balanced nutrition, they may have a better prognosis. However, when PKD patients take foods freewheelingly, and ignore the advices of their doctors, they may have bad prognosis.

3. Living habits

For PKD patients, the daily lifestyle may affect their prognosis. People who have a healthy lifestyle will have a good prognosis. The healthy lifestyle may contain good rest, no smoking, far away with alcohol and proper exercises. For PKD patients who have bad lifestyle, they may have bad prognosis. The unhealthy lifestyle may contain overwork, smoking and drinking too much alcohol. All these living habits will affect the prognosis of PKD patients.

4.Treatment

The treatment that PKD patients are received will affect their prognosis. People who have an effective treatment timely, they will have good prognosis, in turn, patients who fail to have treatment, they may have bad prognosis.
