Kidney disease is divided into many stages, starting with nephritis, and then developing into renal insufficiency, renal failure, and uremia as the condition worsens. The "creatinine value" is an important indicator.
What exactly do we mean by "incomplete" or "depleted"? Which cells in the kidney have undergone pathological changes?
Xiuya is a patient with renal insufficiency. When she first arrived at the hospital two months ago, everyone thought she was Chinese, but her poor Chinese language revealed her identity. Also, it is rare in China that her 35 year old skin is as white and tender as a 20 year old girl.
On the surface, there seems to be no significant difference between Xiuya and normal people. In fact, she has had kidney disease for 2 years, and she has taken many drugs during this period, but the effect is not particularly good. Moreover, her intestines and stomach are also relatively fragile, and once she drinks the medicine, she will feel scorching and heartburn. There are also reasons for coming to China to treat diseases. When she was in college, she came to China to study as an exchange student, full of admiration for the culture and medicine of this country.
Upon admission, Elegant's creatinine value was 380 μ MoI/L, uric acid 579 μ moI/L。
During treatment, Xiuya often asks doctors some questions, such as what does renal insufficiency mean? Can it develop into uremia?
Theoretically, renal insufficiency is a stage in the progression of kidney disease, belonging to the early stage of renal failure, when the creatinine value is greater than 133 μ MoI/L is considered renal insufficiency. The main reason for this disease is that the glomerulus is damaged, which cannot play its due role, making the body unable to excrete metabolic wastes (such as creatinine) normally, and causing disturbances in water, electrolyte, and acid-base balance. If not treated promptly and effectively, it can not only develop into uremia, but may even endanger life.
After half a month of treatment with traditional Chinese medicine, creatinine dropped to 234 μ MoI/L, uric acid dropped to 462 μ MOI/L, all indicators of the body are improving.
Due to the fact that traditional Chinese medicine requires different prescriptions based on the different circumstances of each patient, and Xiuya's gastrointestinal tract is relatively sensitive, the doctor will perform a call test for her before each prescription.
