    It is known that dialysis is the most common ways to treat kidney failure, but what if the patient don't want to take it or can not take it ? Are there any other treatment besides dialysis for kidney failure with 15% kidney function ?

    I am a kidney failure patient with only 25% of kidney function. Is it too late for me to take Micr-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy ? In fact, as long as you still have urine, you can take this kind of medicine, it can help to improve your kidney function gradually.

  • Increased resistance to insulin action in the skeletal muscle and liver associated with enhanced hepatic glucose output and impaired insulin secretion due to a progressive decline of β-cell function are long-recognized core defects
  • in addition, other mechanisms/organs are involved, augmenting the pathological pathways: adipocytes (altered fat metabolism due to insulin resistance), gastrointestinal tract (incretin deficiency and/or resistance), pancreatic α-cells (hyperglucagonemia and increased hepatic sensitivity to glucagon), kidneys (enhanced glucose reabsorption), and central nervous system (insulin resistance)
  • β-cell failure

      and studies have shown that a reduction in insulin function will decrease LH production and thus lead to a decrease in Testosterone production in men.

  • Incretins are gut-derived hormones, members of the glucagon superfamily, released in response to nutrient ingestion (mainly glucose and fat)
  • They exert a wide range of effects, including stimulation of pancreatic insulin secretion in a glucose-dependent manner and play an important role in the local gastrointestinal and whole-body physiology

  • The freely diffusible plasma fraction is distributed extensively throughout tissues, reaching highest concentrations in bone, teeth, liver, lungs, kidneys, brain and spleen
  • Inorganic lead does not undergo any metabolic transformation or digestion in the intestines, or detoxification in the liver.5
  • With chronic exposure over a long period of time, most absorbed lead ends up in bone
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • The total bodily content of lead is called the body burden; in a steady state, about 90 percent of the body burden is bound to bone.2
  • n general, lead is excreted quite slowly from the body (with the biologic half-life estimated at 10 years). Since excretion is slow, accumulation in the body occurs easily.2
  • hronic toxicity is an insidious illness with protean manifestations.3,6 Symptoms may include arthralgias, headache, weakness, depression, loss of libido, impotence and vague gastrointestinal difficulties.
  • Late effects may include chronic renal failure, hypertension, gout and chronic encephalopathy.6

  • use of PET in clinical research, clinical trials, and drug discovery
  • use of PET/CT in assessing response to therapy
  • In some cases, such as Hodgkins lymphoma, quantitative PET/CT imaging may not actually be needed, as success can be defined by the complete absence of tracer uptake in the PET image following a course of standardized therapy
  • ...9 more annotations...
  • The utilization of PET/CT to assess response to therapy is increasing in the US related, in part, to the creation and subsequent favorable results of the National Oncologic PET Registry (NOPR)
  • Changes in size as a result of therapy may take many months to develop and any opportunity to make early decisions about therapy success or failure is often unduly delayed or lost altogether
  • measures of changes in metabolic activity via FDG PET/CT can provide an alternate approach to assess response to therapy -- often very early in the course of treatment
  • Current recommendations are that tumor SUVs should be reported
  • The true tracer uptake in a patient is composed of two components: the first being the amount of tracer uptake (e.g. FDG) associated with the disease status (the signal of interest), which can be modified by the biophysiological status of the patient. One of the more important patient parameters is the blood glucose level, which has been shown to inversely-linearly affect SUVs
  • A prospective study by Crippa et al.30 in eight patients showed that as blood glucose levels were increased from 92.4 ±10.2 to 158 ± 13.8 mg/100 ml by glucose loading, the average SUV of 20 liver metastases decreased from 9.4 ± 5.7 to 4.3 ± 8.3
  • chemotherapy can result in impaired renal function, significantly reducing the clearance of plasma FDG through the kidney and thus increasing tumor SUV relative to an initial PET scan
  • The second component of the true tracer uptake is biological variability
  • The biological variability has been estimated in several test-retest studies7,32–35 at approximately 10% for scans repeated within a few days
