How to measure whether your medical condition has got improved? In addition to your own feelings, there are several important indicators of judgment. Generally, when these three indicators remain stable for more than a year, it is a sign of improvement. Now go on reading to learn more information.
1. The amount of urinary protein is stable below 0.5g and recurrence rate is low.
Proteinuria is an important indicator of renal function, so it is also a key indicator to measure the improvement of the disease. Continuous low level of proteinuria is beneficial to the prognosis of kidney disease. However, what amount of proteinuria should be maintained? There are different judgement standards for different pathological types of kidney disease.
Generally, for chronic glomerulonephritis and some Nephrotic Syndrome such as membranous proliferative glomerulonephritis, Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) and IgA Nephropathy, proteinuria should be reduced to less than 0.5g, and then it has little effect on renal function. If it is maintained at this level for a long time, it shows that renal function is stable and does not get deteriorated.
In addition, it also depends on the stability of the indicators. For example, if albuminuria continues to stabilize at a level without elevation or recurrence, it reflects that renal function is also stable, and it is also a sign of improvement.
2. Blood pressure levels remained stable below 130/80, and the burden of kidney was reduced.
The level of blood pressure represents the quality of blood circulation in the kidney, which reflects the condition of blood supply and oxygen supply in the kidney. Long-term elevated blood pressure leads to abnormal water and sodium metabolism in the body, which not only increases the burden of the kidney, but also leads to insufficient blood flow in the kidney, accelerates the necrosis, fibrosis and sclerosis of kidney cells. Therefore, controlling blood pressure stability is crucial to delay renal function.
In general, the blood pressure of young kidney patients is kept below 130/80, which has little effect on the condition. The blood pressure of elderly patients over 60 can be relaxed below 140/90.
By taking antihypertensive drugs, diet management and proper exercise combined with treatment, blood pressure remains stable below the corresponding indicators, indicating that your condition has improved, and can remain stable for a long time, so you do not need to worry about the deterioration of the condition.
3. Urine volume is maintained above 1000 ml, and detoxification function is stable.
The amount of urine reflects the detoxification function of the kidney. Kidney is the organ that produces urine. Urine is the main form of detoxification. If the amount of urine decreases, a large number of toxins accumulate in the blood, resulting in more and more serious immune inflammation in the kidney, which is very harmful to the condition of the disease.
1000 ml urine volume is the demarcation line of kidney detoxification function. If your urine volume can be maintained above this, it means that the impairment of kidney function is not obvious, toxins can be continuously discharged from the body, and the progress of kidney function is slow.
But if it is below this level, toxins begin to accumulate, and kidney function will go down. In order to avoid further deterioration of the disease, detoxification repair treatment must be carried out. Generally, TCM characteristic therapies can be selected, such as Stem Therapy, Moxibustion and Medicated Bath, to accelerate metabolism, to expel toxins from the body, and to cooperate with traditional Chinese medicine to activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis.
