Small Kidneys with Parenchymal Disease Secondary to Hypertension
If patients have hypertension for 5~10 years, kidneys are more likely to be affected by high blood pressure. When kidney filtering system is damaged, patients will be diagnosed with renal parenchymal disease and their kidneys become small.
How does hypertension damage kidneys?
Kidneys are excretory organs that can prevent protein and red blood cells from leaking out of blood vessels. High blood pressure can cause pressure within blood vessels to increase, causing protein to leak out. In turn, protein leakage can cause damage to kidney filtering system, resulting in vicious circle.
Kidney filters are located in renal parenchyma. As these filters are damaged, it indicates the onset of renal parenchymal disease. At the same time, less blood flows into kidneys, so more and more inherent kidney functioning cells fail to work and kidneys shrink gradually.
What to do with small kidneys and renal parenchymal disease?
Since high blood pressure is the underlying cause, the treatment should start with lowering high blood pressure. Conventional therapy for controlling high blood pressure is to take anti-hypertensive medicines such as ACEI, ARBs, diuretics and CCB. If these medicines are unable to manage patients' hypertension effectively, some auxiliary therapies are needed. They are medicated bath, acupuncture, foot bath, and so on, These therapies can help expand blood vessels and regulate blood circulation. As blood vessels are dilated, high blood pressure declines naturally.
To save shrunk kidneys and treat renal parenchymal disease, we would like to recommend Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy, one innovation of Chinese medicine. The effective ingredients of Chinese medicines can permeate into kidney lesions via skin directly, with the help of osmotic devices. As these medicines nourish damaged kidneys and stimulate its healing system, patients can get recovery gradually.
