What Is The Prognosis For End Stage Of 4 Kidney Disease

There are five stages of chronic renal disease, numbered 1 through 5; the higher the number, the more severe the limitation in kidney function. Stage 4 kidney disease represents severe chronic renal disease, which is accompanied with a number of signs, which shows the severity of the illness. Many patients are concerned about its prognosis very much. Well, how about the prognosis for end stage 4 kidney disease?

Actually there is no exact answer about the prognosis because many factors affect its prognosis. But what we can do is to improve the prognosis. Read the following article and you will find the answer.

1. Control a number of signs

Most people with stage 4 chronic kidney disease will experience a number of signs like high blood pressure, proteinuria and low blood protein, anemia, high blood phosphate, low blood calcium and decreased bone density. The first thing you should do is to keep the symptoms under control by medications and diet.

2. Repair damaged kidney

Repairing the damaged kidneys is the most effective way to improve the prognosis. To repair injured kidneys, we use Chinese medicine treatments. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can repair damaged kidneys and restore renal function by dilating blood vessels, preventing inflammation and coagulation, degrading extracellular matrix and providing nutritious substances and elements. In this way, injured kidneys can be repaired and renal function can be increased to some extent. If the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) which is a measurement of kidney function, goes up to 15 milliliters per minute, kidney replacement therapy (dialysis) or transplantation may be avoided. In addition, other Chinese medicine treatments like medicated bath, foot bath, acupuncture, oral taking Chinese medicine and Mai Kang Mixture may also be applied according to the medical conditions. Several therapies combine together can achieve a good therapeutic effect.

Symptom control combining with repairing injured kidney can make a good prognosis for end stage 4 kidney disease.
