2015-04-09 01:17
There are five stages of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), according to the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) levels. Stage 3 Chronic Kidney Disease can be furthered divided into Stage 3a CKD and Stage 3b CKD. What if someone has Stage 3b with one kidney?
What does Stage 3b CKD mean?
Stage 3 CKD is further divided into:
-Stage 3a CKD: 45 ml/min<GFR<59 ml/min
-Stage 3b CKD: 30 ml/min<GFR<44 ml/min
Stage 3b CKD is characterized by moderate kidney damaged. In this stage, patients, especially patient’s with one kidney, are likely to have some symptoms and complications. The kidney cannot filter waste adequately, and theses substances build up in the body and may damage other organs.
Possible symptoms and complications of Stage 3b CKD
-Swelling or edema in hands, legs, feet or ankles.
-Fatigue, even after a little work.
-Proteinuria (foamy or bubbly urine).
-Hematuria (blood in urine, make it red, dark brown or tea-colored)

Treatment for Stage 3b CKD
Traditional treatment for Chronic Kidney Disease is medicine. The doctor have no choice but prescribe patients with some medicines to control the symptoms. Medicines are helpful, but cannot solve the underlying problem. That is, they cannot improve kidneys function. The only result is the Stage 3b CKD develops into Kidney Failure, and patients have to take dialysis.
I recommend patients to take Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy. This therapy is an innovation of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), and is used on bilateral Shenshu acupoints. It can improve blood circulation so that the kidneys can get enough blood volume and oxygen to repair the damaged renal tissues. Then, kidney function can be improved, and patients can avoid dialysis. Any questions, please be free to contact us directly.
