Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital In China

Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital is located in Shijiazhuang, the capital city of Hebei Province and is adjacent to Beijing and Tianjin. It was founded in 1986 and has already been a modern Nephrology Institution with a system of medical treatment, teaching and research after 25 years’ development.
Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital is the largest kidney disease specialized hospital with the most complete equipment in China. The construction of the hospital was designed and projected according to the standard of fully-good first class specialized hospital of the government. Our hospital is situated at No.5 Feiyi Road, Shijiazhuang City and is beside the Water Park. The hospital covers an area of 48,000 acres and the total building area is 46,000 ㎡. It is divided into four inpatient buildings A,B,C,D and two multiple-use buildings E and F. There are 1115 staff members and 1090 open beds. Our hospital is one of the kidney disease specialized hospitals with the largest scale and the most abundant medical power.
a. The inspection center is equipped with 96 sets of relevant equipment. The total investment is over 12 million RMB.
b. There are 26 sets of inspection machines in the molecular lab including PCR detector and flow cytometer. It forms a complete system from cell detection to molecular inspection. The total investment is about 8 million RMB.
c. There are 40 dialysis machines and 3 blood filtrating machine and one multi-functional blood purification machine IQ21. There are also 58 sets of blood purification equipment in total with the investment about 10 million RMB.
d. In order to establish webcast hospital, we have bought the most advanced webcast equipment 24 sets including many kinds of video camera and monitor unit 660 sets in total and the software system as well. The total investment is over 16 million RMB.
e. We have realized computer management and achieved full-automatic operation. There are more than 960 computers in total. The total investment is 8 million RMB including the investment on software system.
II. The Treatment Characteristics of Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital
After many years’ research and experiment, a three-dimensional treatment system has been established in Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital with its own characteristics. That is four big technological systems including three characteristic core technology systems and one safeguard technology system, which is called core technology system of “ three characteristics and one safeguard”.
Three Characteristics Technology Supporting System
a. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy.
The core technology of Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is to make the effective prescriptions of kidney disease superfinely shattered. Then with the help of effective penetrant and osmosis devices, the effective medicines are permeated into kidney lesions by external application, thus achieving the goal of treating kidney disease. Clinical practices have proven that this application method is both effective and convenient. At present, this therapy has become the core and most basic treating technique of Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital. The therapeutic mechanism of this therapy is to block kidney fibrosis, repair damaged renal intrinsic cells and rebuilds the normal kidney structure, and the realizing of these purposes is based on Chinese medicine curative effects like dilating blood vessels, anti-inflammation, anticoagulation, preventing blood viscosity and degrading extracellular matrixes. These stages are named as block, repair and rebuild.
b. Stem Cell Transplant Treatment Technique System. 
Our hospital has introduced Stem Cell Transplant to kidney disease treatment as a brand new method, which has showed its tremendous vitality. The application of this treatment technology in our hospital has greatly improved the treatment effect of kidney disease. Stem cells have self-renewing ability which means stem cells can regenerate mass of offspring that may have exactly the same characteristics as these original stem cells. in addition, stem cells also have the potential of differentiating into functional cells of various tissues. So, Stem Cells Transplantation Therapy has a promising future in treating kidney diseases due to their powerful vitality in repairing and regenerating various kidney intrinsic cells. and this method is named as Repair and Rebuild. And this treatment technique has effectively improved the therapeutic effects of our hospital.
c. Immunoadsorption-focus Blood Purification Technical System.
It constitutes the third supportive characteristic core treatment technical system of Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital. The core function is providing an easier therapeutic milieu for Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy and Stem Cell Transplant. The therapeutic mechanism is that through hemodialysis we can clear up micro-molecular harmful substances in blood; through hemofiltration and hemoperfusion, we can get ride of moderate molecular harmful substances and micra-molecular harmful substance in blood separately; through blood immunoadsorption, we can eliminate immune complexes. By this, the blood will become relatively more clean, which provides a favorable therapeutic milieu for the application of Stem Cells Transplantation and Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy and makes them more effective. so, this method is named as Absorption and Purification.
We can conclude from the above three supportive characteristic core treatment techniques have been used in shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital as the special technique on treating kidney diseases, thus forming our characteristic therapy. From the forming of the three supportive characteristic core treatment technical systems we can find: the joint action of the three characteristics highlighted the five therapeutic effects of kidney treatment: blocking, adsorption, purification, recovering, rebuilding. These five functions will have an epoch-making influence in kidney disease treatment field.
The guarding effect means that these commonly used western and traditional Chinese medicine therapies are adopted during the treatments as an accompanying support to the curative effects. And this accompanying role is based on these three core medical techniques. Thus these four parts combine with one another closely and achieve an effect of mutual promotion.
