Is There Alternative Medicine to Help Diabetics with Stage 3 CKD
Kidney disease is one common complication of diabetes. If diabetics are diagnosed with Stage 3 CKD, they should seek some alternative medicines to control their health condition immediately. Are there such alternative medicines?
Diabetes and Stage 3 Chronic Kidney Disease
About 30% of diabetics with stage 3 kidney disease may have persistent heavy albuminuria or proteinuria. What’s worse, their glomerular filtration rate (GFR) declines continuously. The characteristic of Stage 3 Diabetic Nephropathy is that proteinuria won’t decline along with the decrease of GFR. If uncontrolled effectively, stage 3 diabetic kidney disease may progress into stage 4. Then, GFR will decline by 1ml/min every month.
How to treat diabetics with stage 3 kidney disease?
In this condition, the key of treatments is to control blood sugar, diabetes-related complications and repair damaged kidney cells.
1. Control blood glucose level: HbA1c should be kept lower than 7.0%. Well control of blood sugar can improve renal hemodynamics to some extent. In some cases, this can help alleviate proteinuria.
2. Manage blood pressure: Most patients with diabetes and Stage 3 CKD experience high blood pressure, which is one important factor to lead to the onset and development of Diabetic Nepropathy. ACEI and ARB are the preferred medicines for these patients, because these medicines can improve renal hemodynamics, reduce protein leakage, and improve the permeability of filtration membrane.
3. Increase glomerular filtration rate (GFR): In clinic, GFR divides chronic kidney disease into five stages. Only if GFR level increases, stage 3 chronic kidney disease can be reversed successfully. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is one treatment that can help nourish damaged kidney cells and prompt the self-curative ability of impaired kidney cells. From this point, patients should try this therapy.
