To Avoid Kidney Failure, Proteinuria Should Be Lowered Early

In the course of kidney disease treatment, in order to timely grasp the development of renal function, some indicators are the "objects" that we focus on, and the most concerned indicators are those related to urine, including urinary protein, 24-hour urinary protein quantification, microalbuminuria, albumin-to-creatinine and so on.

Among them, proteinuria is the "focus" of attention, which is the 24-hour urine protein quantitative indicators on the laboratory list. After the glomeruli of renal tissue are damaged, the pores of the filtration membrane of the kidney increase, and the filtration function of the kidney becomes worse. As a result, proteins that should be left in the body leak out of the body with the urine, forming proteinuria.

Long-term leakage of the protein can "stretch" the membranes of the kidneys, leading to damage to the glomeruli and worsening kidney failure. Therefore, to protect renal function from further damage, proteinuria should be kept at a low level as far as possible.

Proteinuria is an accelerant for kidney failure. The earlier you lower it, the better.

1. To inhibit kidney inflammatory reaction

Upon examination, it can be found that there is an obvious inflammatory reaction in the early stage of the kidney, and the consequence of inflammation is that the kidney function declines, the immune condition is worse, and the toxin accumulates more, forming a vicious cycle. To lower protein levels, the root way must first inhibit the development of inflammation. Usually, the combination of steroids and immunosuppressive drugs is used to suppress inflammation, which has achieved the goal of lowering protein. For the purpose of improving immunity and promoting the elimination of toxins, it is usually a combination of Chinese medicine and western medicine. Western medicine can prevent and cure the occurrence of the infection such as cold, and protect immunity; Chinese medicine has more recuperative effect, which can help promote blood circulation and toxins to be discharged from the blood.

2. Diet management can also help you lower proteinuria.

Strict dietary requirements are also part of the proteinuria lowering treatment. With steroid drug treatment, kidney patients adhere to a low amount of high quality protein diet, so as not to affect the efficacy of drugs. Patients with proteinuria generally consume 0.8g-1g/kg of protein per person per day. For example, patients with height of 1.7m and weight of 65kg are given about 52g-65g of protein per day. Kidney patients can choose lean meat, eggs, milk, soy products and some other high quality protein to take.

In addition to a low amount of high quality protein diet, some patients who take ACEI or ARBs should also eat a low-salt diet with no more than 3g of salt per day and eat less heavy food.

Besides the above two aspects, you should stabilize urine volume. Urine volume is an important indicator of renal function, and also affects the stability of proteinuria.

3. It is better to stabilize urine volume over 1000 ml.

The effect of proteinuria on renal function is also affected by the amount of urine. With the same protein leakage, between daily urine volume 1000 ml and 400 ml daily urine volume, leakage of proteinuria concentration is different, and the impact on renal function is also different. The higher the concentration, the greater the effect on renal function.

In addition to the decrease in urine volume caused by poor renal function, there are also some factors that should not be ignored, including urinary tract infection, kidney stones, tumors, renal artery blockage, hydronephrosis, etc., which also affect the change in urine volume. Once kidney patients discover any unusual conditions, timely treatment should be taken so as to restore urine volume and avoid accelerating kidney failure. It also helps stabilize proteinuria levels.
