Kidney Repair 101

Kidney Repair 101


Andre Willers
30 Jun 2014
Synopsis:
We attempt to find factors that aid the body to repair kidney damage .
 
This is not medical advice . Consult your doctor .
 
Discussion :
1.Kidneys can repair themselves . See Appendix 3 for one way they do it  .
2.The body uses Prostaglandins that are steered by Chaperones to Receptor sites to signal and trigger various processes .
 3.For kidneys , PG2 docking to EP3 applies , mediated by cAMP and PKA  chaperones .
See Appendices 1,2 and  3

)


4.Other major organs affected by this signal are Lipids , Muscles ,Liver , Nervous System , Kidneys
 

Systems affected are sugars (diabetes) , neurotransmitters , especially dopamine(Parkinsons) , blood pressure(hypertension) , ulcers (Rivenprost)
 
5. What to do :
Aid the body to do natural repair and regeneration until more precise techniques are available .
 
6. Kidney Repair Aids .
6.1 First , Do no Harm .
Stop any prescription drugs that causes Renal failure .
Use https://www.rxisk.org/Default.aspx for bias-free side-effects analysis of drugs .
Unfortunately , widely used bloodpressure , diabetic , cholesterol , gout and ACE blockers all are implicated in “Renal Failure Acute” as a major side-effect .
 
6.2 Replace with friendlier alternatives , especially if kidney damage is already present :
Eg gout or cholesterol (Pantothine) , diabetes(low-carb diet) , ACE blockers (Rooibosch tea , aged Gouda cheese 8mths aged ,etc) , Calcium blocker(ginger) , bloodpressure (Vit D , sesame oil)
Search on internet, test and monitor .
Revert to old drug on occasion if necessary .
 
hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
6.3 Helper Sequence (must be in this order)
6.3.1 Vit C 2000 mg
6.3.2 Sodium Bicarbonate (1 teaspoon) .This is to help kidneys regulate ph of blood .See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base_excess
 
6.3.3 Eat some Jelly (Gelatine) . Major nutrient source , all nicely packaged. Add Wheat Grass .
6.3.4 Take Branched Chain Amino Acid supplements .(Leucine , Valine , Isoleucine) About 400 mg . This is for ATP formation .
6.3.5 Take Essential Fatty Acid supplements (EPA, DHA , ALA , GLA) . About 800 mg .This is for kidney operation
 
6.3.6 Stimulate ATP production . This uses up Phosphor , which gives the kidneys a rest .The ATP is then also used as chaperones .
Exercise (aerobic , at least 5 minutes) or better , APS ATP-generator :  see http://www.apstherapy.com/  . Place electrodes over kidneys .
Hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
 
6.4 Control blood pressure .
BP after 2min exercise must be less than (Resting BP +16.1 x2 )
Eg , if Resting BP = 120 , then after 2 minutes exercise BP should be less than 152.2
See Appendix 4 below for boundaries for strokes .
Note that kidney damage from high BP can be seen as a form of stroke .

6.5 Sesame oil and Blood Pressure .
About 2 tablespoons of sesame oil per day should normalize or reduce BP and triglycerides .
Take medical advice if taking BP medication .
 
6.6 Take the usual supplements .
 
6.7 Dandelion , horsetail and Green teas benefit the kidneys .
 
6.8 Biofeedback .
Google it
 
6.9 Apps .

7. Give your kidney some help !

Prostaglandin receptor
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There are currently ten known prostaglandin receptors on various cell types. Prostaglandins bind to a subfamily of cell surface seven-transmembrane receptors, G-protein-coupled receptors.[1]
These receptors are named:
·         DP1-2 - DP1DP2 receptors
·         EP1-4 - EP1EP2EP3EP4 receptors
·         FP - FP
·         IP1-2 - IP1IP2 receptors
·         TP - TP receptor
The names of these receptors correspond to the prostaglandin that they bind (e.g., DP1-2 receptors bind to PGD2).

·         EP1-(PGE2) (PTGER1) - PTGER1
·         EP2-(PGE2) (PTGER2) - PTGER2
·         EP3-(PGE2) (PTGER3) - PTGER3
·         EP4-(PGE2) (PTGER4) - PTGER4

Prostaglandin E2 promotes cellular recovery from established nephrotoxic serum nephritis in mice, prosurvival, and regenerative effects on glomerular cells
Summary :
 “EP3 receptor has been identified as important in mediating beneficial effects of PGE2 in our system. PGE2 normalized glomerular cell losses during nephrotoxic serum-induced nephritis, restored synaptopodin distribution and F-actin filaments arrangement in glomeruli”
“ In conclusion, PGE2 treatment promotes resolution of glomerular inflammation. Consistent with this observation, the regenerative and cytoprotective effects of prostanoid on glomerular cells in culture were observed, suggesting that PGE2 may be beneficial in the treatment of glomerulonephritis.”

Methods to repair kidney cells, assess kidney function on the horizon

Summary:
Researchers may have found a way to block kidney-destroying inflammation and help damaged kidney cells recover. In a related study, they report progress on a non-invasive method to assess how much kidney function has survived a serious bout of inflammation or a chronic problem like high blood pressure.

In an effort to better protect them, researchers induced acute kidney inflammation, or nephritis, in mice then gave them prostaglandin E2 . The kidneys' filtering units promptly recovered. "The cells got better, the kidneys got better," said Madaio, corresponding author of the study in the American Journal of Physiology-Renal Physiology.
While prostaglandins are better known as natural pro-inflammatory lipid compounds, prostaglandin E2 has an anti-inflammatory effect. The researchers suspected -- and found -- it also had the bonus regenerative properties.

Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) Response to Exercise Stress Test and Risk of Stroke

Methods— SBP was measured every 2 minutes during and after the exercise test. The subjects were a population-based sample of 1026 men without clinical coronary heart disease, antihypertensive medication, or prior stroke at baseline. During an average follow-up of 10.4 years, there were 46 cases of stroke (38 ischemic strokes).
Results— Men with SBP rise >19.7 mm Hg per minute of exercise duration had a 2.3-fold increased risk of any stroke and a 2.3-fold increased risk of ischemic stroke compared with men whose SBP rise was <16 .1="" 2="" 4.6-fold="" 5.2-fold="" a="" after="" and="" any="" associated="" at="" by="" divided="" exercise="" hg="" highest="" increased="" ischemic="" maximum="" min.="" minutes="" mm="" o:p="" of="" percent="" recovery="" risk="" sbp="" similarly="" stroke.="" stroke="" tertile="" was="" with="">
Conclusions— SBP rise during exercise and percent maximum SBP at 2 minutes after exercise were directly and independently associated with the risk of all stroke and ischemic stroke. Exercise SBP testing may be recommended as an additional tool in the prediction of future stroke.

Effect of Sesame Oil on Diuretics or ß-blockers in the Modulation of Blood Pressure, Anthropometry, Lipid Profile, and Redox Status
This article has been cited by other articles in PMC.
Abstract
The study was undertaken to investigate the effect of sesame oil in hypertensive patients who were on antihypertensive therapy either with diuretics (hydrochlorothiazide) or ß-blockers (atenolol). Thirty-two male and 18 female patients aged 35 to 60 years old were supplied sesame oil (Idhayam gingelly oil) and instructed to use it as the only edible oil for 45 days. Blood pressure, anthropometry, lipid profile, lipid peroxidation, and enzymic and non-enzymic antioxidants were measured at baseline and after 45 days of sesame oil substitution. Substitution of sesame oil brought down systolic and diastolic blood pressure to normal. The same patients were asked to withdraw sesame oil consumption for another 45 days, and the measurements were repeated at the end of withdrawal period. Withdrawal of sesame oil substitution brought back the initial blood pressure values. A significant reduction was noted in body weight and body mass index (BMI) upon sesame oil substitution. No significant alterations were observed in lipid profile except triglycerides. Plasma levels of sodium reduced while potassium elevated upon the substitution of sesame oil. Lipid peroxidation (thiobarbituric acid reactive substances [TBARS]) decreased while the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and the levels of vitamin C, vitamin E, ß-carotene, and reduced glutathione (GSH) were increased. The results suggested that sesame oil as edible oil lowered blood pressure, decreased lipid peroxidation, and increased antioxidant status in hypertensive patients.
