Urine moves wastes and excess water out of the body. In most cases, its transit is uneventful and the normal output of urine will appear pale yellow to amber in color and bear little to no odour. But sometimes urine may look different. In case of Kidney Failure, colorless urine may appear as a result of severely damaged renal function.
Causes of colorless urine in Kidney Failure
Kidneys are bean-shaped organs that are located at the lower back of the abdomen. In normal condition, they function well to filter out the wastes and toxins that are created by the body′s constant metabolism. All the waste materials that are filtered from the blood are expelled out from the body in the form of urine.
Kidney Failure is a medical condition in while the damaged kidneys are no longer able to perform the vital function of eliminating metabolic waste and excessive fluid from the body. As kidney damage accumulates, urine production become abnormal. When patients develop moderate Kidney Failure, urine production may be brisk because the kidneys can not concentrate the urine as they normally would. In this case, the urine is typically almost colorless and clear.
Besides, nocturia-waking during the night needing to urinate-may also occur. As the degree of kidney failure progresses, urine production will become severely diminished (oliguria) or absent (anuria). Loss of kidney function will also lead to fluid and chemical imbalances, causing swelling or edema especially of the feet, ankles and around the eyes.

The Stages of Polycystic Kidney Disease
Nowadays, more and more people are suffering from Polycystic Kidney Disease(PKD), what are the stages of PKD?
1)PKD is a hereditary disease, starting from birth. Under normal circumstances, it is not easy to test the 20-year-old man before PKD.
2) When PKD patients at the age of 30-40, the renal cysts begin to grow quickly. Western doctor suggest no treatment for this period, just observe the growth of renal cysts. If some patients present high blood pressure, they just need to treat the high blood pressure.
3) After 40 years, the patient enters a period known as the "enlargement" of. Renal cysts growing, and the largest size of renal cysts over more than 4 cm, renal cysts have a chance to burst.
Chinese medicine and the treatment of polycystic kidney disease
Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is the most effective method to treat Polycystic Kidney Disease. The micro-Chinese medicines can be permeated into the lesions directly. Through the process of dilating the vessels, speeding up the blood circulation, the cyst fluid can be brought away. At the same time, the active substances of the Chinese medicines can inhibit the secretion of the epithelial cells of the cysts so that the cysts fluid can be reduced and the cysts shrink. The cysts will cause less damage to the intrinsic cells and the growth of the cysts is inhibited finally.
The Stages of Polycystic Kidney Disease is introduced on here, if you are interested in my message, or need advice more relevant content, you can consult the following online doctor or send e-mail to kidney-support@hotmail.com we will give you professional guidance as soon as possible.

Stage 4 kidney disease life expectancy
I am actually sorry to have to tell you this, but with stage 4 kidney disease and no dialysis, he is looking at less than a calendar year.
What Is Stage 4 Kidney Disease?
Technically speaking, this is the 4th level of progression for kidney disease. As the second most advanced form of kidney disease, it closely borders with potentially imminent kidney failure. The primary gauge of assigning CKD stages is the glomerular filtration rate or GFR. For stage 4 patients, the GFR is measured at 15 to 30 ml/minute. If that’s your average filtration rate for the past 3 months, then you are definitely positive for stage 4 kidney disease.
In China, a stage 4 kidney disease of traditional therapy,Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy
Here in our hospital's treatment, Chinese herbs are superfinely shattered into powder and packaged in a sack. When used, the sack should be soaked in the special penetrant for around two hours and then be heated for one hour or so. After all is ready, patients just need to lie in bed with two sacks attached to renal regions. What’s more, the sacks are connected with an osmosis device, the mechanism of which is to promote permeation of medicine by vibration indirectly controlled by electron pulse. In this way, the ingredients of Chinese medicine can efficiently permeate into the renal lesions, realizing the goal of treating kidney disease effectively.
There are no side effects with our treatments.Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is a natural herbal therapy applied externally on acupoint and all the Chinese herbal medicines used in our hospital are definitely nature made.
For stage 4 kidney disease life expectancy, not an accurate answer to this with your treatment, diet, exercise, many aspects have a relationship, of course, as long as you are the right treatment, you will get good results. More questions can consult our online experts or send to kidney-support@hotmail.com, we will get back to you as soon as possible.

Treatment of Chronic kidney disease stage 4
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a disease whereby the kidneys have trouble removing waste products and fluid from the body. Usual causes of CKD include Diabetes Mellitus, high blood pressure and chronic glomerulonephritis. People with CKD often have no symptoms although the kidney function is severely affected.
Early detection and treatment of the underlying causes of kidney disease helps prevent progression of the condition. Many people may be in the early stages of kidney disease and not have any indication something is wrong. There are certain symptoms, however, that could be a sign you have chronic kidney disease. Diabetes, high blood pressure and/or a family history of kidney disease are signs that you need to take action to keep your kidneys healthy. Chronic kidney disease happens over time, so the sooner you find out you are at risk, the sooner you can take steps to prevent kidney failure.
Symptoms of Stage 4 Chronic Kidney Disease(CKD):
The most common symptoms are sore waist, fatigue, nocturia, dizziness, tinnitus and dryness of the throat.
Invigorating blood circulation and eliminating blood stasis is the important principle of treating Stage 4 Chronic Kidney Disease.
Modern medicine proved that invigorating blood circulation and eliminating blood stasis can regulate immune function disorder, improve renal microcirculation and hypercoagulable state, remit platelet aggregation and increase fibrinolytic activity, therefore it is beneficial to removing immune complex and the transformation and absorption of hyperplastic lesions thus promoting the repair of the damaged tissues. All kinds of acute and chronic Glomerulonephritis are immune inflammation mediated by immune complex. Expelling wind and removing dampness has the effect of restraining immune reaction and promoting the recovery of Nephritis.
In treating Stage 4 Chronic Kidney Disease, blocking the progressing of renal fibrosis and protecting the renal function is the most important.
Here are just a few simple introduction to the treatment, if you want to get more, consult a doctor online, or send some content to kidney-support@hotmail.com, we give you more advice as soon as possible.

How to reduce the creatinine through food
High creatinine level may be a sign of kidney disease function decline. Usually, when your creatinine level has increased, around 50% of kidney functions are damaged. Diet management help lower the high creatinine levels and delay the progression to Kidney Failure.
Foods to avoid with high creatinine level:
●Foods with high protein:Low-protein diet is commonly recommended for kidney disease patients, and this is because too much protein intake will increase extra renal burden, which can worsen kidney damages and therefore cause a higher creatinine level. How much protein to consume each day? It depends on your kidney damage degree and illness condition. You can consult with our online medical professional to get a reference now.
●Foods with high potassium and phosphorus need to be avoided as well:Kidney disease patients are easily to suffer from high levels of potassium and phosphorus due to decrease kidney function. Therefore, if lad tests show that the amount of their potassium and phosphorus in blood is higher than the normal value, foods with high potassium or phosphorus should be restrict strictly.
Foods with highest in potassium include avocados, red chili powder, coca powder, chocolate, dried apricots, prunes, zante currants, and raisins, pistachios, various nuts, pumpkin seeds, squash seeds, sunflower seeds and so on.
Foods that is high in phosphorus include bran, pumpkin seeds, squash seeds, sunflower seeds, toasted wheat germ, cheese, sesame seeds, thahini, nuts, bacon, fax seeds, edamame and so on.

How to reduce the creatinine level
It is widely known that people with kidney problem always have elevated creatinine level and once the level of creatinine increases to a certain degree, generally no less than 5.6, Dialysis or kidney transplant will be suggested.
If patients are only teated by some certain western medicines and reasonable diet to relieve symptoms and slow down the progression of the condition, maybe the creatinine level can be controlled to a certain degree. However, it will be temporary. With time going, patients will see the higher and higher creatinine level, as less and less kidney function is left.
Some Chinese herbal medicines like Ligusticum wallichii, semen cassiae, flower of kudzuvine, Chinese rhubarb, the root of red-rooted salvia, Turnjujube, barbados aloe can be used to lower creatinine by promoting intestinal detoxification.
Or, you can use the following ways to reduce creatinine
Drink Plenty of Water:This will increase the frequency of urination, and as a result, more creatinine will get eliminated from the body.
Healthy Diet:Include plenty of fresh fruits, vegetables, whole wheat, barley, oats, etc., into your daily diet. Replace them with fresh fruit juice or aloe vera juice, which will keep you hydrated and at the same time provide you with good nutrition. Intake herbs like dandelion, ginseng, salvia, and cinnamon, which are known to be useful in controlling creatinine levels.
Reduce Sodium Intake:you can stay away from all such foods that supply extra sodium to the body. Salty foods, processed foods, packaged foods, etc., should be avoided in this condition.
Avoid Protein-Rich Food and Dairy Products:If you are looking to lower creatinine levels, then foods like chocolate, almonds, peanuts, beer, egg whites, seaweed, spirulina, sesame seeds, and gelatin should also be avoided. Dairy products will only increase the creatinine level, so avoid cheese, milk, and other dairy-based products.
Avoid Strenuous Activities:Strenuous exercises only promote the creatine to convert into creatinine more quickly than normal. Therefore, one must avoid over-training or doing similar strenuous physical exercises, and opt for less intense exercises.

How to reduce the creatinine level
Creatinine level helps to reflect kidney functions and usually, the higher the creatinine is, the poorer the kidney functions are. With extremely high creatinine level, you must be eager to the methods of lowering creatinine. Usually, there are several ways which can help to reduce creatinine in the blood:
1. Reduce the intake of meat and protein, can effectively control the creatinine levels. Our kidneys are responsible for the secretion of the protein, reducing protein intake, weight can reduce the burden on the kidneys, can protect our healthy kidney function. Therefore, as long as we avoid aggravating kidney damage, creatinine levels are not increased.
2.Reduced physical activity also helps to reduce creatinine levels. Reduced physical activity can effectively control the increase in muscle, but also to avoid fatigue, thus lowering the serum creatinine levels and avoid strenuous physical activity object is helpful.
3. Effective treatment for Kidney Failure help to reduce creatinine in the blood. We know creatinine level increases just because kidneys are failed in excreting excessive creatinine. When effective treatment is given, kidney functions recover, which allows excessive creatinine level to be excreted timely and as a result of this, creatinine level decreases naturally.

pros and cons of dialysis
Dr. Cooper argued the con view: Dialysis should not be started early because there's no good evidence to do so. He defined “early” as nearer to the beginning of the disease course, before the expected or usual time, or before the patient actually needs it.
“We would all agree that if someone has no kidney function whatsoever ... they need to have dialysis,” he said. “But the opposite is that someone with stage 1 or 2 disease with still very excellent kidney function, then obviously you're not going to start dialysis there. One suggestion with the early start is starting somewhere perhaps in the high 5 or low 4 range.”
Pros of dialysis treatment
-When kidneys fail, wastes, various toxins and excess fluid will build up in the body. At this time, your blood pressure may rise, the production of red blood cells may be reduced, you may notice swelling on your different parts of body, or a series of complications may appear. Some of them can even be life-threatening. Dialysis treatment can help kidney disease patients eliminate wastes and excessive fluid to a certain degree, which makes kidney disease patients alive. This is one of common pros of dialysis treatment.
-Before kidney disease patients can receive a kidney transplant or be treated with other efficient treatment options, dialysis can be a good short-term solution.
-Peritoneal dialysis is relatively convenient and neat, which makes patients do not need to go to a hospital 3-4 times a week for up to 6-8 hours. It can be done in the comfort of your own home while you are asleep.
These are introduced to all the benefits and drawbacks of dialysis, if you have more questions, you can click on the article end portion of the free online doctor consultation, or send your case to kidney-support@hotmail.com, we will get back to you a reply guidance.

Life expectancy after kidney transplantation and related considerations
Kidneys for transplant may come from a person who has died (a deceased donor), or from a healthy living person, like a family member or a friend who offers to donate a kidney (a living donor).
Who cannot get a kidney transplant?
Many patients assume they are too old for transplant but if you are otherwise healthy, age is not a factor in determining your transplant eligibility. However, there are some other factors that prevent patients from getting a kidney transplant:
What would happen if my kidney transplant didn’t work? Would I die?
No. If the transplant doesn’t work, you can:
Start or resume dialysis
Pursue another transplant
What can patients do if they want a transplant but don’t have a living donor?
Patients who do not have a living donor can wait on a nationwide waiting list to get a deceased donor transplant.
How does the waiting list work?
The government and the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) manage the nationwide kidney transplant waiting list. Patients who want a deceased donor kidney are evaluated by their transplant center. If a patient is healthy enough for a transplant, their medical information is added to the list. When a donor becomes available, that person’s medical information is also added to the list.. The computer then matches the kidney with someone on the waiting list based on blood type, how well they match the donor and the length of time on the waiting list.
How long is the average wait for a kidney on the waiting list?
At Barnes-Jewish Hospital, most patients wait for three to five years for a kidney from the deceased donor waiting list. Every year, about 10,000 people nationally donate their kidneys. There are still over 80,000 people on the waiting list. Because of the lack of kidneys, this waiting time keeps increasing. Sometimes a matching kidney is never found. If you want to get a kidney from a deceased donor, the most important thing to do is to get on the list right away to begin gaining time. Another way to decrease your waiting time is to explore living donor transplants.
Diet and Nutrition
The recovery process can be enhanced by a proper diet. For transplant patients, a diet low in fat, sugar and salt will help control weight and blood sugar, limit fluid retention and control blood pressure. Our nutritional counseling program can help in developing a healthy food plan to meet your needs.

Life expectancy after kidney transplantation and related considerations
patients who receive a kidney transplant typically live longer than those who stay on dialysis. A living donor kidney functions, on average, 12 to 20 years, and a deceased donor kidney from 8 to 12 years.
Patients who get a kidney transplant before dialysis live an average of 10 to 15 years longer than if they stayed on dialysis. Younger adults benefit the most from a kidney transplant, but even adults as old as 75 gain an average of four more years after a transplant than if they had stayed on dialysis.
After surgery, you will be is transferred to the surgical intermediate or intensive care unit. Gradually, you and your care partner will practice administering necessary medications under the close supervision of the transplant pharmacist, nephrologist, endocrinologist and surgeon. This prepares you to handle taking your medications properly at home.
The usual hospital stay is 4-5 days for a kidney transplant and 7 days for a combined kidney-pancreas transplant, but you could stay shorter or longer depending on how healthy you were before surgery, and how well your body is responding to the transplanted organ(s).

Chronic kidney disease stage 3 life expectancy
Chronic kidney disease, which gradually makes it harder for your kidneys to filter waste from the blood, progresses slowly and silently. Its earliest stages have no symptoms. In its most advanced forms, called stages 3 to 5, it is more common than type 2 diabetes or cancer. Yet nearly half the almost 17 million people who have those forms are unaware of it. The number of people with stage 5, or end stage, kidney disease—when the kidneys are beyond saving—has climbed steadily for 30 years.
So patients with CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease) Stage 3 want to know life expectancy. How long will I live? Is the future fearful really? Absolutely not. Experts in kidney disease field point out that in most time, patients with CKD(Chronic Kidney Disease) Stage 3 can not receive scientific treatment and the medicine just focus on the symptoms such as hormone, immunosuppressive agent. They focus on dimishing the symptoms and once patients with CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease) Stage 3 have got an infection such as cold, symptoms will recur again. What’s worse, it makes patients depressed and even hopeless. But do not worry because there is also a new therapy which maybe you have not heard of it before but it really can bring you new hope.
Chinese Medicine can promote the blood circulation and dissolve the stasis in the blood, creating a clearer inner environment. Secondly, Chinese Medicine contains many active and nutritious substances, which can repair the damaged intrinsic cells and prevent proteins and red blood cells, etc from leaking out fundamentally. After more than one months’ treatment in hospital, patients with CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease) Stage 3 should apply Chinese Medicine for another more than 3 months to consolidate the effect. So the total treatment may take 4 months.

So patients with CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease) Stage 3 want to know life expectancy. How long will I live? Is the future fearful really? Absolutely not. Experts in kidney disease field point out that in most time, patients with CKD(Chronic Kidney Disease) Stage 3 can not receive scientific treatment and the medicine just focus on the symptoms such as hormone, immunosuppressive agent. They focus on dimishing the symptoms and once patients with CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease) Stage 3 have got an infection such as cold, symptoms will recur again. What’s worse, it makes patients depressed and even hopeless. But do not worry because there is also a new therapy which maybe you have not heard of it before but it really can bring you new hope.
Chinese Medicine can promote the blood circulation and dissolve the stasis in the blood, creating a clearer inner environment. Secondly, Chinese Medicine contains many active and nutritious substances, which can repair the damaged intrinsic cells and prevent proteins and red blood cells, etc from leaking out fundamentally. After more than one months’ treatment in hospital, patients with CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease) Stage 3 should apply Chinese Medicine for another more than 3 months to consolidate the effect. So the total treatment may take 4 months.
