Treatment For Kidney Disease Caused By Hypertension

Treatments for kidney disease caused by high blood pressure should consist of two aspects. One aspect is to treat high blood pressure and bring it well under control so as to prevent further deterioration of illness conditions. The other aspect is to repair damaged renal tissues so as to recover kidney functions and improve the patients’ life quality and life expectancy.

The kidney itself is made up of blood capillaries which can filter toxic wastes and at the same time prevent leakage of proteins and red blood cells. Long term poorly controlled high blood pressure can elevate pressure in the capillaries cause protein leakage in urine which can in turn damage renal filtering system and falls into a vicious circle. Without timely treatment, the damages can become irreversible and lead to kidney failure. Therefore we can see that controlling hypertension and treating proteinuria is very crucial.

How to treat high blood pressure with kidney damages?

Medicines for lowering high blood pressure include diuretics, beta blockers, calcium channel blockers, ACEI, ARB drugs. ACEI drugs are usually the first choice because it is effective at controlling hypertension, reducing proteinuria so as to prevent, stabilize and slow illness progression.

Chinese herbal medicines such as olive leaf, ginger root, hawthorn, gingko biloba, motherwort are all natural antihypertensive. What is more, they cause no side effects or additional injuries to the kidneys.

How to repair renal damages and improve kidney functions?

Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy has the functions of dilating blood vessels, anti-inflammation, anti-coagulation and degradation of extracellular matrix so as to help promote blood circulation and increase blood flow to the kidneys. After the treatment, renal ischemia and hypoxia will be greatly improved. Anti-inflammation can block further renal fibrosis and anti-coagulation can prevent the formation of blood clots and relieve high pressure, high perfusion and high filtration in the kidneys and provide favorable environment for repairing damaged renal tissues. Degradation of extracellular matrix can prevent its damages to renal tissues and repair damaged renal intrinsic cells.

Diet is one important part for hypertensive kidney disease

The general diet principle is low-salt, low-fat, low-protein, high-vitamin and high-fiber. Drinking tea can help a lot. Tea polyphenols plays vital role in fat metabolism and drinking tea has the functions of heat-clearing, detoxification, anti-inflammation, anti-bacteria. It can also help soften the blood vessels and promote blood circulation.
