Is Coffee Bad for Kidneys?

Many people are inseparable from the Coffee. If you are diagnosed with kidney Disease,do you want to know whether coffee is good for your kidneys .
Many believe coffee causes conditions such as sleeplessness, high blood pressure and diabetes. Along with these conditions, the Centers for Disease Control reported 4.5 million new cases of kidney disease in 2009 alone, and some researchers wondered if there was a connection with coffee consumption. Scientists now believe coffee may have some health benefits due to the antioxidants it contains, and it may not contribute to kidney disease after all.

Cancer

A review of 13 studies involving almost 800,000 adults investigated whether there were associations between coffee, tea, milk, soda or fruit and vegetable juice consumption and cancer of the kidneys. A follow-up of seven to 20 years across studies, published in the “International Journal of Cancer” in November 2007, found that people who consumed three or more 8 oz. cups of coffee per day were 16 percent less likely to develop kidney cancer than those who averaged less than a cup per day.

Glomeruler Filtration Rate

Glomerular filtration rate, or GFR, is the best test to measure your level of kidney function and determine if you have kidney disease and the staging of the disease. A higher GFR is associated with an increased risk for kidney disease. A study published in January 2010 in the “British Journal of Nutrition” found that habitual coffee consumption of one or more cups of coffee per day was associated with increased levels of GFR. The researchers weren’t able to definitively link coffee consumption to kidney disease, however, and recommended further research into these effects.

Kidney Stones

A kidney stone is a hard mass developed from crystals within your urinary tract that can be quite painful. Diet may play a contributing role in kidney stone development. Researchers at Harvard published results of a study in 1996 in the “American Journal of Epidemiology” that found for each daily 8-oz. serving of either caffeinated or decaffeinated coffee there was a 10 percent decrease in the risk for development kidney stones. A study in a 2004 issue of “The Journal of Urology” reported that caffeine may modestly increase risks of developing a specific type of stone called a calcium oxalate stone.

Polycystic Kidney Disease

Polycystic kidney disease, or PKD, is a common genetic disorder that can lead to high blood pressure, kidney failure and other diseases. A study on rats in the lab, published in the November 2001 issue of “American Journal of Kidney Diseases,” found that caffeine exacerbated high blood pressure in rats with PKD, with researchers recommending that if you have PKD you limit coffee consumption to four or fewer cups of caffeinated coffee per day.

Renal Failure

Renal failure, when your kidneys stop working, may require dialysis or a kidney transplant. Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine evaluated the effects of long-term caffeine consumption on renal failure and published their results in 2002 in the “Kidney International Journal.” They found that caffeine fed to obese, diabetic rats exacerbated renal failure in the rats. This effect was potentially caused by increases in cholesterol levels and proteinuria, or excess amounts of protein in urine.

Treatments

The more important for kidney patient is the right choice of therapy. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is one of innovation therapy. Because this therapy in the basic of the Traditional Chinese Medicine .And add the Western Machine So the Chinese herbs can enter one’s kidneys directly in virtual the machine .

Causes of Renal Parenchymal Disease

Do you want to know What is Renal Parenchymal Disease and What kind of kidney disease can cause renal parenchymal disease? Follow the folling content and learn more about Renal Parenchymal Disease,
Renal parenchymal disease includes maladies that damage the outermost internal region of the kidney where filtration and urine formation occur. Autoimmune disorders, medical conditions, or obstructions may all contribute to this disease. Lupus, bacterial infections,diabetes and high blood pressure, along with kidney stones can traumatize delicate tissue, causing scarring and possibly leading to eventual kidney failure. Managing systemic diseaseprocesses, however, may prevent kidney damage and failure from occurring.
Millions of nephrons lie within the renal parenchymal area of each kidney. The nephrons contain arterioles, or small blood vessels, known as glomeruli, that are surrounded by tubules. The glomeruli receive oxygen rich blood that contain excess electrolytes, salts, and water and transport the unnecessary blood products and water to the renal tubules. The tubules pass through the renal medulla, or the center of the kidney, into another system of tubules that combine and empty into the ureter.

Studies estimate that up to 50% of patients diagnosed with lupus erythematosus experience arenal parenchymal disease known as lupus nephritis. Lupus causes abnormal antibody production in the body, and these malfunctioning antibodies attack healthy cells, including those within the nephrons. The kidney's normal filtering processes are diminished when cell damage in the parenchymal tissue occurs. The disease might also produce inflammation of the kidney, adding pressure to damaged glomeruli.

Symptoms of lupus nephritis include swelling in the feet, legs, and around the eyes. Patients may excrete urine that appears foamy or bloody. Inadequate filtering and excess fluid also cause increased blood pressure. Blood tests evaluate the efficiency of the filtering process andultrasound imaging reveals abnormal kidney tissue. Treatment may include glucocorticoids and chemotherapeutic agents to reduce overall inflammation.
Uncontrolled diabetes may eventually lead to renal parenchymal disease and subsequent kidney failure. The flood of sugar-laden blood in the glomeruli puts increased stress on the filtering system and increases pressure within the delicate arterioles. The strain of continuously ridding the body of sugar diminishes filtering ability and eventually causes permanent damage. Protein spills into the urine instead of staying in the blood and sugar also enters the urine. Renal insufficiency contributes to hypertension, but hypertension can also cause renal problems.
Excess body fluids trigger renin/angiotensin release and subsequent response from the sympathetic nervous system to constrict blood vessels, forcing more blood to the kidneys.Renal parenchymal disease takes place when this constriction forces fluid through fragile glomeruli and other capillaries, causing cellular damage to vessel linings. During the reparative process, scarring occurs, and vessels become thickened and stiff. Without a permeable surface, glomeruli filtration is diminished.

Cellular and tissue damage can also occur when an patient has kidney stones. Uric acid andcalcium crystals combine with oxalate to form stones of various sizes and shapes. Bacterial infections initiate increased enzyme, ammonia, and other chemical production, which may produce a by-product known as struvite stones. Besides inflammation and swelling, which contribute to decreased filtration, the foreign objects may tear vessels and tissues. Scar tissueforms, inhibiting proper kidney function and contributing to renal parenchymal disease.
