Can Kidney Problems be Reversed

Kidney problems are of the health-threatening issue worldwide. End-stage kidney disease as an irreversible condition keeps on rising each year. Kidney diseases cause scarring of renal tissues and it will be impossible to reverse dead cells. In view of this, kidney problems can not be reversed; however, earlier detection and proper treatment could help people to improve their kidneys, and thereby, patients can live healthier and happier quality life.

The kidneys are filtering organs that discharge wastes and excess water out of the body. The functions of our kidneys are finished by the basic functioning units-called nephrons. Each nephron is composed of glomerulus, renal capsule and renal tubule. Kidney diseases can be divided based on the cause of disease—such as Diabetic Nephropathy, Hypertensive Nephropathy, the pathological change of kidneys—such as Minimal Change Disease, Membranous Nephropathy(MN), MPGN, or the characteristics of the disease—such as Polycystic Kidney Disease(many cysts in the kidneys), etc.

Kidney problems, in essence, cause injury on the functioning kidney cell. Once the symptoms are present, it means that the kidneys are inflamed to damage the renal cells. If kidney disease is not treated properly, the scarring of the kidneys will worsen to cause gradual loss of renal functions. Scarred/not failed cells can be improved; but when the renal cells are completely atrophied, it can not be reversed by any treatment. Hence people need to seek for proper treatment for improving their kidneys as early as possible.

Western medicines have very good effects in relieving inflammations and thus controlling symptoms. To get targeted effect of improving damaged kidneys, herbal treatment to nourish the kidneys, dilate blood vessels and improve injured renal cells should be combined. When the injured kidneys get improved, the symptoms can be well under control so that people can avoid risk of further deterioration and live quality life.
