Edema in CKD patients with high creatinine 2.7

Edema is one of early symptoms for CKD patients .The normal Creatinine level is about 0.3ml/dl-1.2 ml/dl . Creatinine 2.7 is much higher than the normal value . The following content will explain the reason why kidney failure will occur edema .And will mention the treatment of these symptoms for kidney failure patients .

Edema forms in patients with kidney disease for two reasons:
A heavy loss of protein in the urine.
Impaired kidney (renal) function.

Heavy loss of protein in the urine

In this situation, the patients have normal or fairly normal kidney function. The heavy loss of protein in the urine (over 3.0 grams per day) with its accompanying edema is termed the nephrotic syndrome. Nephrotic syndrome results  in a reduction in the concentration of albumin in the blood (hypoalbuminemia). Since albumin helps to maintain blood volume in the blood vessels, a reduction of fluid in the blood vessels occurs. The kidneys then register that there is depletion of blood volume and, therefore, attempt to retain salt. Consequently,  fluid moves into the interstitial spaces, thereby causing pitting edema.

The treatment of fluid retention in these patients is to reduce the loss of protein into the urine and to restrict salt in the diet. The loss of protein in  the urine may be reduced by the use of ACE inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers. Both categories of drugs, which ordinarily are used to lower blood pressure, prompt the kidneys to reduce the loss of protein into the urine.

Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is one of efficient therapy for kidney disease patients .
