What Are Renal Cortical Cysts On Kidney

Renal Cortical Cyst push us into kidney failure if we just leave it alone.; therefore, we must shrink renal cortical cyst effectively so as to avoid kidney damages. In past days, many Renal Cortical Cyst patients choose surgical operation as the treatment, which can remove Renal Cortical Cyst radically, but meanwhile causes pains as well. Therefore, many patients against surgery from their inner heart. Today we mainly introduce another treatment, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy, which not only shrink Renal Cortical Cyst effectively and at the same time causes no side effects.
Renal cortical cysts are simple interstitial fluid filled sacs near the outside region of the kidneys. They become more common as one grows older and usually grow to 10-15 centimeters or more. They can be found and located through an ultrasound. But usually not something to worry about, they are commonly benign.
It is very common and occurs in about 50% of people over the age of 50. Renal cysts account for 60-65% of all renal masses. Many people have them and it is usually benign. A cyst is defined as a membranous sac containng fluid. A simple renal cyst is a classification given to renal cysts that "appear round or oval... without infections, calcifications, septations or divisions of its walls. Most of these lesions are benign simple cysts that require no further evaluation, intervention or urologic
Atelectasis is the collapse of the airspaces which also results in the visual impression of increased soft tissue density. This makes it impossible to distinguish infiltrates from atelectasis on the basis of visual density alone. Considering other factors is therefore required. Atelectasis must have volume loss by definition (collapse of airspaces must reduce lung volume), whereas infiltrate does not.
As you have fibrosis in lower lobes and airspaces means lungs are not getting filled with air showing some pneumonia you should be concerned and should see a pulmonary specialist for better treatment.

Natural Cure For Corticol Cyst In Kidney

Polycystic kidney disease, or PKD, is a genetic disorder and it can be described as the condition characterized by the presence of various cysts in one’s kidneys. These are the frequently asked questions regarding the topic. As an introduction, you have to know first about the roles of our kidneys. The kidneys, of course, are responsible for cleaning our blood to get rid of harmful wastes and extra fluid. As a result, urine is formed. The kidneys also regulate certain substances in our body.
As the disease develops, disturbed sleep, chest pain, bleeding, and bone fractures. Once the symptoms of kidney disease present themselves, the most recommended way to deal with these symptoms is to have one checked immediately and start living a healthier lifestyle.
What happens when Polycystic Kidney Disease cysts grow in the kidneys?
Cysts in the kidneys are filled with fluid. They can enlarge the kidneys, take the place of the structure, and cause the decreased kidney function. Worse, these cysts lead to kidney failure.
What are the other effects of PKD?
PKD does not stop at the kidneys. It can also cause cysts in the liver and other complications or problems in other organs. These complications can be in the blood vessels in our heart or brain.
What are the major inherited forms of PKD?
There are two major inherited forms – the Autosomal Dominant PKD and the Autosomal Recessive PKD. The former is the most inherited form, which begins earlier although it shows its symptoms from 30 to 40. On the other hand, the latter form is a rare inherited form, whose symptoms show at a very young age (even in the mother’s womb).
What are the symptoms of PKD?
The symptoms, which can develop from infancy to adulthood, include headaches, blood in the urine, kidney cysts, liver cysts, other organ cysts, back pain, and pain on the lower sides.
How do I know if I have PKD?
You would need to get an ultrasound imaging of the kidney to check if there are cysts, as well as other organs. You may also check your family medical history or opt for genetic testing.
Is there a cure for PKD?
No, there is no cure for Polycystic Kidney Disease. However, treatment can be done for patients. These treatments can resolve infections, reduce pains, and control further complications. For kidney failure, dialysis is needed to replace the kidneys.

Two 2 Ways Treatment For Kidney Cyst Naturally

Western medicine treatment:
In terms of the kidney cysts,western medicine will follow these steps to treat polycystic kidney:1) wait the cysts become enough big. 2.) 95%anhydrous alcohol is inputed into renal cysts for solidifying capillary, then liquid can’t go into renal cysts.3) abstract the cystic liquid from renal cyst-----this operation may be called puncture. Please notice that these measures will damage the kidney, especially for the nephron which is the basic part of kidney. At present, all Western Medicine just treat the symptoms of kidney, they can’t treat the disease from the root.
Chinese Medicine treatment:
We use the Micro-Chinese Medicine osmotheraphy to treat the cyst.
It is the conservative treatment- Shrink them.Chinese medicine will improve the poor blood and oxygen then make the blood circulation around the cyst wall successful ,the cyst fluid will flow away along with the blood circulation.What is more, Chinese medicine will restrain the epithelial cell of cysts secrete the fluid, because it can make the epithelial cell lose the inactivation,so the cysts can not develop to large again .At the same time ,the chinese medicine have the function of anti-inflammation ,it can help to repair the damaged kidney.
When the cyst do not grow any longer,the cysts shrink more and more slowly as the time, then it can not develop to the kidney failure,so u can far away from the kidney failure,and extend yr life.
Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is a conservative therapy without pumping fluid or relieving pressure.It is not the surgery or the oral medicine, It is a kind of external application on the back. Micro-chinese osmotherapy is smash the active ingredients of drugs,let them micronized into ten thousandth of its original size,by the mean of infiltration device and penetrating agent,let the active ingredient enter into the disease point from body external directly with the help of meridian conduction and skin permeate,it is high efficent because of the high targeting.It will arrive directly at the renal lesions through the skin on the back.

Will Renal Cyst of 4.8cm Cause Blood in Urine

My father recently has had a scan which shows a renal cyst on his left kidney. He has blood in his urine. I want to know is it normal for a cyst to cause bleeding or the bleeding is related to other things. He has only one cyst and it is approximately 4.8cm. He has high blood pressure, but is not on any medicines. His blood pressure is around 175/96. He is much stressed and worried now.
Best Answer
Your father’ renal cyst is 4.8cm and it has reached the size in which a series of clinical manifestations will be caused such as blood in urine, bubbles in urine, hypertension and pains in the back and belly. Of cause the bleeding is not definitely caused by the cyst, but it is the most possible reason. To confirm the root cause, it is recommended that your father can go to the hospital and take related tests such as CT scan and B ultrasound to make clear the cause because hematuria usually indicates aggravation of the illness condition.
There are three reasons that the renal cyst can cause blood in urine.
1. The enlarged cyst cause the vessels on the renal capsule to rupture and cause blood in urine;
2. In case of infections of bumps, the cyst will rupture and cause bleeding;
3. One of the common complications of renal cyst is stone in the kidneys. When the stone moves, it is easy to cut the blood vessels in the kidneys and cause bloody urine.

General Treatment for Cyst On Kidney

Kidney cyst is always found by chance when you have a routine examination in the hospital. So many sufferers with kidney cyst do not realize they have such kind of cyst disease. If the kidney cyst is left without any treatment, it may deteriorate into chronic renal failure at last. Nevertheless, that serious kidney cyst is rarely seen.
Kidney cyst is a kind of cyst disease, and usually it can be categorized into simple kidney cyst and complex kidney cysts. Actually, the poor result of simple kidney cyst is malignant cyst, and also, in case of Polycystic Kidney Disease, chronic kidney failure will occur.
If you suffer from simple kidney cyst, you can not even know the existence of your cyst in kidney, because when the cyst is small, you will have no feeling of it.

What Are Simple Renal Cysts Mean

Simple Renal Cysts may be a congenital abnormality that there is one or several cysts with different sizes usually in a kidney. As we are getting old, we have more chances of suffering from Simple Renal Cysts. As is reported, fifty percent people over 50 years old will have those cysts which can be diagnosed through B ultrasound and CT (Computed Tomography). Compared with Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD), Simple Renal Cysts have its own characters.
Simple Renal Cysts is a genetic disorder
So far, scholars have not found out what cause Simple Renal Cysts, but some consider this disease as a congenital abnormality, while others think it is acquired after birth because of local lack of blood and oxygen in kidney or the blockage in kidney tubules. When people get old, the blockages easily occur in distal tubules and manifolds. The fluid blocked in tubules will stimulate kidney tubular epithelial cells developing into cystic cells. As those cysts grow, they will break away from kidney tubules and will not connect with outside.
The cysts usually locate in one kidney
Through B ultrasound and CT, Simple Renal Cysts usually show one or several cysts in one kidney, but sometimes they can be found in both kidneys. They locate in renal cortex and renal medulla. Their diameter can be 0.5 to 1cm or 3 to 8cm. With paille ropy fluid inside and thin transparent wall, they tend to shrink automatically, but if they are infected, the wall will become thick, fiberized and calcified. As those cysts are not linked with other renal tissues like kidney pelvis, they usually do not arouse great damage to the whole kidneys.
Simple Renal Cysts will not damage renal function
Commonly, severe symptoms will not occur among patients with Simple Renal Cysts. This disease is usually found unconsciously in checking other diseases. Some big cysts stress blood vessels nearby, cause anoxia and increase rennin, which occasionally cause hematuria, low back pain and high blood pressure. There are indeed some dangers of renal calices blockage and secondary infections. When they are removed or shrunk through operation or decortication, renal function is normally not damaged by them.
Thus, usually, there is no need for patients to receive treatments to remove Simple Renal Cysts, but it is important for them to prevent the cysts breaking and the secondary infection which may cause fatal complications.

When Should Dialysis be Taken into Consideration

Dialysis is a replacement therapy for patients with Kidney Failure, especially the End Stage Kidney Failure. It is take over the functions of kidneys when the two kidneys both fail, which often make patients mistake that the later dialysis is taken, the better patients feel. Actually, the late dialysis will increase the chances of complications as well as the total expenses for the severe complications will prolong and increase the hospitalization. What’s worse; the quality of life after late dialysis is usually not better than that of the early dialysis and the patients live a shorter life than those who take early dialysis.
When to take dialysis depends on some values
Chronic Kidney Disease can be divided in to five stages. At the last two stages, namely the stages of Kidney Failure and the previous Kidney Failure, dialysis is usually adopted. The reference values may be different in different places. In China, when serum creatinine is up to 8mg/dl or 707.2umol/L, doctors will advise patients to receive dialysis, while in other countries, the reference creatinine is more than 443 umol/L and Ccr (Creatinine Clearance Rate) is less than 10 ml/min.
The suitable time for dialysis depends on the general medical condition
Besides those reference values, doctors will take the general medical condition into account and then determine the suitable time for dialysis. For instance, as Diabetic Kidney Failure often deteriorate quickly at its late stages and the patients tend to be accompanied by many complications, doctors will suggest those patients take dialysis much earlier to effectively slow down the deterioration and prevent the severe complications. At that time, Ccr is still at the level of 15 ml/min. As for old people or people of malnutrition, with less amount of muscle, they normally have less creatinine in their blood, so the common values are not enough to determine the time for dialysis. Apart from those clinical values, doctors will take their symptoms into consideration, such as swellings, electrolyte disturbance, high blood pressure and heart failure.
The general standard to determine dialysis
In general, it is suitable time to receive dialysis, when patients’ hemoglobin is over or close to 8.0g/dl and have no symptoms of uremia like malnutrition, bleeding and anuria. The following is the general standard for determining dialysis:
1. Occurrence of severe symptoms: skin itching, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, poor appetite.
2. Severe electrolyte disturbance: edema, high blood pressure, heart failure, acidosis (PH < 7.1) and high blood potassium (> 6.5mmol/L).
3. Anemia, bleeding, malnutrition, stroke, somnolence and other peripheral neuropathy.

Kidney Cyst Control By Chinese Medicine Treatment

Kidney cysts are round pouches of fluid that form in the kidneys. Kidney cysts can be associated with serious disorders that may impair kidney function. But more commonly, kidney cysts are a type called simple kidney cysts — noncancerous cysts that rarely cause complications.
Simple kidney cysts are very common, especially in people over age 50. The Mayo Clinic says that up to 50 percent of people in that age range have at least one cyst. These kidney cysts are almost always benign and harmless. They only require treatment if they get large enough to interfere with other organs. If this happens, treatment consists of surgical removal of the cyst.
Treatment is usually not necessary if imaging tests depict a simple cyst and the patient exhibits no symptoms. Instead of treatment, the doctor will advise a computed tomography scan or ultrasound to periodically examine if the kidney cyst enlarges or develops into a complex cyst, according to the Kidney Cancer Institute. Treatment may be suggested at a later date if the kidney enlarges or if symptoms occur.
Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is a natural herbal therapy applied externally on acupoint of lower back (kidney area). Herbal bags containing dozens of herbal medicines are soaked previously in penetrants, and then placed on the lower back part. With the help of osmosis device, effective ingredients of herbal medicines will infiltrate into kidneys through the main and channels. There is no pain, and it is kind of like a massage.
The main curative effect of this herbal therapy is to promote whole body blood circulation, and especially the blood circulation within the kidneys. If analyzed from cytology, when kidney function decline occurs, there are three types of cells in the kidneys. There are healthy cells that are overburdened: damaged but still reversible cells: and completely necrotic cells that have no function left. The necrosis is an absolute loss, but this herbal therapy helps removing blood stasis or thrombus, degrading extracellular matrixes, and dilating each level blood vessel to promote blood flowing into the kidneys. In this way, sufficient blood supply creates a great environment for the self-repairing of these damaged but still reversible cells, and prevents kidney function from further declining.

Can Acupuncture Cure My Kidney Cysts

Complex Renal Cyst Symptoms

The complex renal cyst has irregular cyst lining and may show irregular shape and internal structure. The internal walls may divide it into many parts. These walls or the septum inside the complex renal cyst can be thin or thick and coarse. The presence of multiple internal walls give rise to the possibility that the cyst may develop into kidney cancer. Calcification of the cyst is another characteristic of these cysts. A radiology imaging test such as CT scan or ultrasound, can detect the presence of calcium inside the kidney cyst.
In most of the cases, complex kidney cysts hardly show any symptoms. Their presence can be detected only when an individual undergoes a sonography or a medical examination for some other ailment. However here are a few symptoms of this kidney disease.
Complex Renal Cyst Symptoms

1. A dull throbbing pain can be felt in the lower back region, especially where the kidneys are located. This symptom is similar to the kidney stones symptom.
2. Blood in urine (hematuria), as a sign of kidney infection can be observed. The individual may also feel burning sensation while urinating.
3. Upper abdominal pain and pressure is also one of the symptoms of a complex renal cyst.
4. Some individuals may also suffer from fever, vomiting induced nausea and generalized body weakness.

Can A Cyst On Kidney Cause Protein In Urine

Protein in the urine (proteinuria) can usually be detected by dipstick. Protein may appear constantly or only intermittently in the urine, depending on the cause. Proteinuria is usually a sign of kidney disorders, but it may occur normally after strenuous exercise, such as marathon running.
protein is released into the bloodstream by the muscles. Even completely healthy kidneys often cannot filter all this excess protein, and some is lost into urine. A similar process occurs in individuals who are exposed to extreme temperatures or under emotional stress. These elevated protein levels are temporary and relatively harmless.
The presence of cysts on or within the kidneys can also lead to increased urine protein. Frequently, these are simple cysts with no specific causes. Seldom do these cysts require surgical intervention. In some cases, however, kidney cysts can be caused by serious genetic conditions such as polycystic kidney disease or medullary cystic kidney disease. These conditions cause multiple reoccurring cysts and often lead to significant kidney damage.
Many illnesses can lead to kidney damage and chronic kidney failure. Diabetic kidney damage is among the most common causes, but high blood pressure can also frequently be a factor.Amyloidosis, a condition in which excess proteins are produced by the body, can overwork and consequently injure the kidneys. In addition, most types of cancer originating in the urinary system can also lead to kidney damage.

Kidney Cysts : Causes , Symptoms ,Treatment

What is kidney cyst ?
Kidney cysts are round pouches of fluid that form in the kidneys. Kidney cysts can be associated with serious disorders that may impair kidney function. But more commonly, kidney cysts are a type called simple kidney cysts — noncancerous cysts that rarely cause complications.Some people have kidney cysts caused by an inherited disease called polycystic kidney disease (PKD). This disease can cause symptoms such as high blood pressure, pain in the back and side, blood in the urine or frequent kidney infections. Not all people who have PKD will have these symptoms .
Symptoms of kidney cyst
Simple kidney cysts typically don’t cause signs or symptoms. If a simple kidney cyst grows large enough, symptoms may include:
Frequent urinary tract infection
Dull pain in your back or side
Fever
Upper abdominal pain
Blood in urine
Kidney cysts have been associated with high blood pressure, but it is unclear what the relationship is between the two.
How are kidney cysts treated
At PKD Clinic use Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy mainly plays two roles in treating Renal cyst:
Expand the blood vessels on the walls of blood vessels around the cyst, speed up the blood circulation of cyst walls, thus enhancing the permeability of the cyst walls. Decline the internal pressure in the blood vessels of the cyst walls, reverse the differential pressure —the pressure in the blood vessels is higher than the pressure in the cyst. Speed up the continuous reabsorption of the moisture from the cyst fluid to the blood vessel.
The active substances of the Micro-Chinese Medicine restrain the continuous secretion of the epithelial cells on the cyst walls, stop the continuing enlargement of the cyst and the blood vessels of cyst walls. The above treatment improved the condition of circulation disorder of walls of blood vessels and the cysts., softened the cyst walls, enhanced the permeability of the cyst walls to the outside and restrained the secretion function of the cells of cyst walls.

Left Renal Cortical Cyst Treatment : Chinese Medicine

The medicine (Chinese herbs) will be osmosed into the focal area with the help of a penetrating device. The medicine could stop epithelial cells of the cysts excrete sac liquid. Then cysts will stop growing. At the same time, the medicine can dilate blood vessels so as to improve blood circulation. The permeability of cysts wall is improved. Pressure in a cyst and pressure in blood vessels out of the cyst will be changed. As a result, the sac liquid can be reabsorbed into blood vessels. Cysts will shrink and do not relapse easily.

Cyst In The Left Kidney

What is cyst In the left Kidney?
Simple cysts are normal findings. No medication for it .
Simple kidney cysts are abnormal, fluid-filled sacs that form in the kidneys. Simple kidney cysts are different from the cysts that develop when a person has polycystic kidney disease (PKD), which is a genetic disorder. Simple kidney cysts do not enlarge the kidneys, replace their normal structure, or cause reduced kidney function like cysts do in people with PKD.

Simple Kidney Cysts Removal

A cyst is a closed pouch or sac filled with air or liquid. Simple kidney cysts are usually small round sacs that have a thin wall and are filled with a watery fluid. As people get older, cysts can form on the surface or in the nephrons of the kidneys. They can range in size from a small pea to as large as a grapefruit. Cysts can also grow over time.
Kidney cysts are almost always benign (not cancerous). Usually, the cysts don't cause any problems. In fact, people can go through life without even knowing that they have them.
In most cases, simple kidney cysts do not need to be treated. However, if a cyst is putting too much pressure on another organ or is affecting the way a kidney works, it might be necessary to shrink or remove the cyst. There are two procedures that are most commonly used to treat simple kidney cysts:
Aspiration and sclerotherapy — The doctor inserts a long needle under the skin to puncture the cyst and drain the fluid. A strong solution is then injected into the cyst to shrink it. This procedure can be repeated, if necessary.
Surgery — Surgery to remove a cyst can usually be done laparoscopically, using thin instruments inserted through small holes in the abdomen. During surgery, the doctor first drains the cyst and then cuts or burns away the cyst itself.
When a kidney does not work and needs to be removed, minimally invasive surgery with laparoscopy is available for you at the Urology Academic Practice.
Three little incisions are made into the abdomen to allow small surgical instruments to enter the abdomen. The kidney is freed inside the abdomen and removed through one of the incisions in the skin. This procedure usually requires an overnight stay in the hospital.

Cortical Cyst on Right Kidney Symptoms And Treatment

The simple renal cyst is a benign non-neoplastic mass of unknown etiology arising in renal parenchyma (cortical cyst) or within the sinus region (parapelvic cyst). The uncomplicated cyst cavity is typically unilocular, usually filled with clear serous fluid and lined with a cuboidal epithelium with no communication to the renal collecting system. It's believed that these cysts arise from tubular or lymphatic obstruction. The incidence of renal cysts increases with age occurring rarely in neonates and the pediatric group, to over 50% in those over age 50.The simple renal cortical cyst or parapelvic cyst is discovered incidentally so it's important to differentiate it from a true renal neoplasm. Renal cysts account for 60-65% of all renal masses. Large cortical cysts can show up as a palpable flank mass and parapelvic cysts can be detected producing extrinsic compression or mass effect on the collecting system on an intravenous pyelography (IVP) exam.
Renal cortical cyst typically don't cause signs or symptoms. If a renal cortical cyst grows large enough, symptoms may include:
Dull pain in your back or side
Fever
Upper abdominal pain
Frequent urinary tract infection
Renal cortical cyst Treatment
If you have a small kidney cysts that isn't causing you any problems, your physician will generally leave it alone, though she may follow up with additional scans in six to 12 months. But if you experience symptoms of a renal cortical cyst, your physician will probably send you to a urologist, who specializes in diagnosing and treating kidney problems.
Your urologist will determine whether your renal cysts have grown randomly, or whether they have resulted from polycystic kidney disease (PKD)---an inherited disease the targets the kidneys and causes the growth of kidney cysts. Small or few renal cysts will generally not harm you, but multiple or large cysts can cause pain, infection and damage to the kidneys. If your urologist suspects PKD, schedule biannual scans to check for the presence of cysts in your kidneys.

Symptoms of Rupture Kidney Cyst

For most of the patients with kidney cysts, there are no obvious symptoms. With the aggravation of their disease, the following symptoms will appear.
Ⅰ. Back pain or discomfort in belly
Owing to the enlargement of cysts, tensile force of renal capsule increases, leading to the stretch of renal pedicle or oppression on surrounding organs, which will make patients feel pain. Moreover, cysts contain large amount of fluid, which makes kidneys become heavy. The heavy kidneys sink, causing back pain. The pain may be unilateral or bilateral dull pain. If there are bleeding inside cysts or secondary infection, then the pain will be more serious. Furthermore, if renal cyst is associated with stone or there are blood clot blocking, then renal colic will appear.
Ⅱ. Hematuria
Hematuria can be manifested as gross hematuria and microscopic hematuria. The appearance of hematuria is periodic, which usually accompanied with serious back pain. Besides, drastic exercises, wounds and infection all can deteriorate or induce hematuria. The bleeding arises from the fracture of cysts. There are many arteries beneath the cyst wall, due to the increased pressure and infection, blood vessels in cyst wall receive excessive pull, which will lead to the break of cysts.
Ⅲ. Lump in belly
Sometimes, lump in belly is the root cause for patients to see a doctor. For patients with kidney cyst, about sixty percent to eighty percent of them can feel the swollen kidneys. Generally speaking, the bigger the kidney is, the poorer the renal function is.
Ⅳ. Proteinuria
For patients with kidney cyst, the protein in urine usually is not more than two gram and most of the time, Nephropathy Syndrome does not occurs to them.
Ⅴ. High blood pressure
Due to the oppression of cysts on kidney, renal ischemia appears. Renal ischemia can cause consistent increase of renin which is helpful in promoting the generation of type Ⅱ angiotensin. Type Ⅱ angiotensin has great ability of shrinking blood vessels, which will cause the increase of blood pressure.
Ⅵ. Decrease of renal function
Due to the space-occupying and oppression of cysts, the healthy renal tissues reduce gradually, causing the decrease of renal function.

Natural Treatment For Cyst on Left Kidney

Kidney cyst is one of the most common abnormalities in the kidneys and it can occur to people of all ages among which more than 2/3 are over their 50s, therefore the disease is often related to aging and old people.
Current therapy for kidney cysts is to have an operation when the cyst grows larger than 3cm or 5cm. However patients have to suffer a lot from the operation and the cyst is easy to occur once again after a period of time.
Considering most of the patients are elderly people, more conservative and natural remedy is in need. Chinese herbal medicines have been more and more widely used for the treatment of kidney cysts. Chinese herbal medicines have a long history in China and it is the precious tradition of Chinese culture and civilization, just as the Indian Ayurveda.
Why the Chinese herbal medicines are natural and conservative?
1. The herbal medicines can act on the cyst even when it is small in size. As we know, the operation can only remove large renal cyst and have no effect on small ones. Therefore even if the patients have an early detection, he has no choice but to wait until the cyst grows large and cause a series of symptoms and complications and affect the renal structure and functions. Actually the best treatment period for kidney cyst is before patients have obvious symptoms such as backache, nocturia, hematuria, urgent urination.
2. The treatment does not require any injury to the patients and since the herbal medicines are all from the nature and they will cause far fewer side effects to the patients. But there is one thing that needs to be noted that some Chinese herbal medicines do have renal toxicity and improper intake or excessive use will definitely cause further damages to the kidneys and worsen the illness condition.
