Kidney has the function of removing the wastes out of body. With these
function, kidney can keep the materials in body in balance, thus people can have
a healthy life. But when people are attacked by kidney failure, they will suffer
a lot of complications, one of them is bone disease which also can be called
osteodystrophy.
Cause of bone disease in kidney failure
1. Calcium is the most plentiful mineral in the body that is essential for
building new bone cells and keeping existing bones strong. If calcium levels in
your blood become too low due to kidney failure, your parathyroid glands (four
small glands in your neck) release a hormone called parathyroid hormone (PTH).
This hormone regulates calcium levels in your blood. If blood calcium levels are
too low, the PTH hormone will begin removing calcium from your bones to get
calcium blood levels back to normal. Over months and years, as calcium is
stripped from the bones, this can make the bones weak, so their texture becomes
more like a piece of chalk than of a sturdy bone.
2. when your kidneys don’t work, phosphorus builds up in your blood. A high
blood phosphorus level causes your body to pull calcium from your bones in an
attempt to balance all the body’s minerals. When calcium is being pulled from
your bones, your bones begin to break down and lose the ability to provide
structural support.
3. Healthy kidneys activate vitamin D. The activated form of vitamin D is
called calcitriol. Calcitriol helps the body absorb calcium. Working together,
calcitriol helps maintain normal parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels, and they
carefully balance calcium in your system. When kidneys fail, they stop
converting inactive vitamin D to calcitriol. The result is your body is unable
to absorb calcium from food, so it“borrows” the calcium it needs from the
greatest calcium storage depot — your bones.
Treatment for bone disease in kidney failure
Traditional Chinese Medicine has magic effect in treating kidney failure. The
active substances in Chinese medicines can expend the blood vessel and dissolve
blood stasis, improving the condition of kidney hypoxic-ischemic. At the same
time, it also can block the ultra immune response and remove the toxins in blood
out of body. With the normal blood in kidney, the kidney damage can be stopped.
With the improve of kidney function, the osteodystrophy — bone disease in Kidney
Failure will turn better. If you are interested in our therapy, you can send
