ropolis & Kidney Failure, Stop Washing Blood

Tri Adhitya Wardhana seizures, whole body stiffness, and weakness. It turns out that the symptoms of impaired renal function so that dialysis should be.

School graduation ceremony in Bali vacation was boisterous, teachers and friends who were cool to play panic. They bring Adhitya who was then aged 16 years to the hospital. Doctor's examination showed decreased renal function Adhitya positive. Detected in the body of metabolic waste buildup of protein and electrolyte deficiencies. That's why doctors give injections to maintain the electrolyte balance of body fluids.

Health conditions are not good to force an end to his vacation Adhitya faster and go home to Surabaya, East Java. Mandy Sudarwati MPd, Adhitya mother, did not believe her kidney problems. "The time left for Bali, Adhitya still alive and healthy. But we are suddenly sick, "said the mother of three children. Therefore, Mandy returned with Adhitya to Sint Vincent de Paulo Hospital (famous with the name or Roomsch Katholiek RKZ Ziekenhuis), Surabaya. The results of the doctor's diagnosis was the same: the youngest of three brothers were impaired renal function.

Since then Adhitya regularly consume drugs and health check once a month. Weight of any illicit activity. The food menu is also regulated. Adhitya avoid the consumption of high protein foods. The goal that the kidneys are not working too hard in removing the remnants of protein metabolism. "Adhitya may only consume 40 g of protein a day," says Mandy.

Dialysis

Adhitya almost 3 years of life under medical supervision. During that time he did not complain of pain. However, before the release of high school, men's health who is now 22-year-old drop. At that time he followed a lot of tutoring activities that often go home tonight and eating patterns were not controlled. As a result, Adhitya back to stay in the hospital.

Positive diagnosis of renal physicians. Laboratory findings showed high serum creatinine levels reached 12 mg / dl, normal levels of 0.6 to 1.2 mg / dl. Dialysis solution 2 times a week. Currently the cost of dialysis ranged Rp800.000 once. However, the family decided Adhitya to consume drugs. It turns out high-risk option.

The proof is two days later after refusing advice of a doctor, Adhitya again underwent blood tests. The result, the increased levels of creatinine, 15 mg / dl. Doctors warned to get to dialysis. If allowed, the creatinine will poison the body's other organs. The doctor also gave other options, namely kidney transplant. Adhitya one parent must be willing to donate a kidney to his son. "It costs reach 400-million," says Mandy.

According to Dr. Sidi Aritjahja, doctors in Yogyakarta, renal failure is the inability of the kidneys filter and remove toxic substances, such as creatinine, of the body that accumulate in the blood. High creatinine levels indicate that similar organs like the kidney bean seed that fails to work. The condition is dangerous because it can poison other organs. That is why people with kidney failure must undergo dialysis.

This time, Adhitya obedient to the advice of a doctor. He admitted, inpatient and perform routine dialysis 2 times a week. After 18 days of stay in hospital, the doctor allowed Adhitya home. However, once every five days he had to return to dialysis. Besides, he also must keep the diet in order not to burden the digestive system of the kidneys.

Propolis

In mid-2007, Mandy met one of his colleagues, Baktiono. When it was suggested to Mandy that Baktiono give propolis to treat Adhitya. According Baktiono consumption good propolis to alleviate various diseases. Propolis is a product produced by bees Apis cerana and Apis mellifera. If there is honey in the hive hexagonal; propolis outside the nest. According to Ir CH Hotnida MSi Siregar, a bee expert from Bogor Institute of Agriculture, worker bee propolis processing of various materials such as leaf, the sap of plants, and the skin of various plants.

Interested in the suggestion that, Mandy and bought a bottle of propolis. He then told Adhitya consume 3 times daily before meals. Dose to drink 1 tablespoon of propolis mixed in 50 cc of water. S atu propolis regularly consume half months, Adhitya do blood checks. The result is positive, creatine levels drop below 10 mg / dl. According to the doctor who examined creatine levels below 10 mg / dl did not need dialysis.

That result is good news for Adhitya and family. Propolis regularly consume even a year, he was never again be required for dialysis. Laboratory tests last, in mid-2008, showed creatine levels decreased to 4 mg / dl. Since then Adhitya propolis regularly consume up to now. In addition to not need dialysis, propolis consumption also increases stamina. First Adhitya often weak and tired quickly. Now the conditions are more energetic and fit. Students at the University of Bhayangkara it was freely daily activity. "It used to be escorted everywhere, now I can go alone," said Mandy.

With regular consumption of propolis, Adhitya is now free from dialysis. According to Liu CF, researchers at the National Taipei College of Nursing, propolis antioxidant able to protect the kidneys from damage. Liu Efficacy was demonstrated in vivo in experimental animals. He tested two groups of mice suffering from acute kidney failure. One group was given propolis; other groups, without propolis.

An hour after administration of propolis, Liu then observed the rats kidney damage. The result, kidney damage propolis group that did not consume more severe than the group who received intake of propolis. It is characterized by increased levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) in rat kidney. High malondialdehyde levels indicating oxidative stress, which can lead to kidney damage.

According to Prof Dr Mustafa MKes Apt, a researcher in the Department of Pharmacology & Toxicology Faculty of Medicine, University of Gadjah Mada, because the antioxidant properties of the propolis containing flavonoids and polyphenols. Active compounds that protect the body from the onslaught of free radicals cause cell damage. With terlindungnya damage the kidneys of the cell regeneration process can more easily walk. Tri Adhitya Ward's benefit. He was freed from routine dialysis since taking propolis
