Xiao Peng is 27 years old and is from Chong Qing. One month ago in his routine test there was high blood pressure 170/100mmHg, serum creatinine 494umol/L and blood urea nitrogen 17.37mmol/L. He was diagnosed with kidney failure. He was prescribed some medications to lower his blood pressure. In his local hospital, the test showed creatinine level 630umol/l and he was hospitalized for 9 days. But the therapeutic effect is not so good. He stopped taking medications and came to our hospital to take further treatment.

On admission, his sleep quality is not so good and his appetite is poor. The test shows serum creatinine level is 611umol/L and blood urea nitrogen is 34.6mmol/L.

It is easy to control creatinine less than 400umol/L. But once creatinine is over 400umol/L, it will progress to uremia without proper treatment. Now it is the key stage to stop further kidney damage.

If urea nitrogen is over 27.4mmol/L, it will bring damages to whole body organs. Many experts are investigating his condition and make a plan to protect residual kidney function and repair part of damaged kidney nephrons.

After 10 days of treatment, blood pressure decreases to 110/70mmHg from 180/90mmHg. Sleep quality and appetite both are improved. Creatinine level is 370umol/L and urea nitrogen is 16.1mmol/L.

Xiao Peng eventually pulls through. Kidney failure is not frightening. Patients with kidney disease need great courage to combat the disease.
