Hypertensive Nephropathy: Anemia, Proteinuria, Hematuria
Q: My father has Hypertension and it caused kidney disease to him for more than 25 years. He has no other risks, such as Diabetes. He does have some discomforts and symptoms, such as Itching & Pain in whole body and Headache etc. But his urine is still in a normal range I think. Please find the attached reports of my father & guide me on it please.
A: thank you for your inquiry. I made an simple analysis of his condition. Hope my analysis is useful for him.
Anemia
His hemoglobin is lower than normal. This suggest he has renal anemia. Does he often feel tired? Kidney is the main organ to discharge out the metabolic product (toxins) in our body. During renal failure, there toxins will accumulated in patient's body. And these toxins will shorten the life time of red blood cells. In addition, our kidney also can secrete erythropoietin which can promote the product of red blood cells, but when our kidney is damaged, this function will also decline. Both of these factor can cause anemia.
Proteinuria and Hematuria
There is red blood cells and protein in your father's urine. In medicine this can be named as hematuria and proteinurina, which are the result of damaged Kidney filtration membrane.
The main abnormality is high serum creatinine, uric acid which are kinds of metabolic product. This suggest there are lots of toxins accumulated in his body.
Long time hypertension also can cause cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, so how is his heart condition? I suggest your father take the test of Cardiac Markers which contain sensitive troponin and NT-proBNP.
The main damaged part of kidney during hypertensive nephropathy is renal afferent arteriole. Does your father have frequent urination?Now his kidney disease has entered the end stage, so we should repair kidney damage positively.
For your father's disease, I suggest him to try the most advanced Immunotherapy to treat. More than 95% of Kidney Diseases are caused by Immune disorder. If you need any help, please let me know kidneyservice@hotmail.com
