A medical monitoring device for monitoring electrical signals from the body of a subject is described. The medical monitoring device monitors electrical signals originating from a cardiac cycle of the subject and associates each cardiac cycle with a time index. The medical monitoring device applies a forward computational procedure to generate a risk score indicative of hyperkalemia, hypokalemia or arrhythmia of the subject. The medical monitoring device can adjust the forward computational procedure based upon clinical data obtained from the subject.

The invention relates to a method and device for dialysis and or bulk fluid removal by generating a fibrosis chamber within a body cavity and performing dialysis or bulk fluid removal. An implantable medical device is described having a fibrosis chamber and a pump. A dialysis chamber and an optional electrodialysis unit can further be provided. An additional controller uses sensory feedback to regulate the fluid levels by altering the extracellular fluid retention within the fibrosis chamber. This device can be used for the treatment of patients with chronic kidney disease who may also be suffering from cardiorenal syndrome and hypertension.

Devices, systems and methods using feedback from sensors for the treatment of pathological conditions such as Kidney Disease (KD) alone, Heart Failure (HF) alone, KD with concomitant HF or cardiorenal diseases syndrome (CRS) are described. The devices, systems and methods monitor and gather patient information and administer one or more diuretic or natriuretic molecules.

Devices for diagnosing, monitoring, or determining a renal disorder in a mammal are described. In particular, devices for diagnosing, monitoring, or determining a renal disorder using measured concentrations of a combination of three or more analytes in a test sample taken from the mammal are described.

In one aspect, the invention provides compounds of Formula I Formula Ia, Formula Ib, Formula Ic, and Formula Id and salts, hydrates and isomers thereof. In another aspect, the invention provides a method of promoting bone formation in a subject in need thereof by administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of Formula I, Formula Ia, Formula Ib, Formula Ic, or Formula Id. The present invention also provides orthopedic and periodontal devices, as well as methods for the treatment of renal disease, diabetes bone loss, and cancer, using a compound of Formula I, Formula Ia, Formula Ib, Formula Ic, or Formula Id.

The invention relates to a clinical treatment low-protein food and relative production. Wherein, said method ads alpha modify amidon into wheat amidon, to prepare low-protein food. The invention can realize treatment effect, to support kidney disease patient.

The present invention relates to the identification and use of protein biomarkers with clinical relevance to kidney status and chronic renal injury or disorder. In particular, the invention provides the identity of marker proteins which are recognized by antibodies present in patients suffering from end-stage renal disorder, stable renal transplant, renal transplant glomerulopathy (TG), and interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy (IFTA). Methods and kits are described for using these proteins in the study and diagnosis of chronic renal transplant injury, and in the selection and/or monitoring of treatment regimens.

The present invention provides a use of compounds from Antrodia camphorata in manufacturing medicaments for treating kidney diseases, wherein the compounds is represented by formula (I):

wherein R₁ is a hydrogen atom or acetyl group, R₂ is

wherein the kidney disease is glomerulosclerosis or glomerulonephritis.

The invention provides a traditional Chinese medicine composition for treating kidney diseases. The traditional Chinese medicine composition mainly comprises herba ephedrae, radix aconiti lateralis preparata, rhizoma zingiberis, roasted rhizoma atractylodis macrocephalae, poria and radix glycyrrhizae preparata. The traditional Chinese medicine composition has the advantages that the traditional Chinese medicine composition has functions of diffusing lungs, strengthening spleens and warming yang to promote diuresis; synergistic effects can be realized by various components in traditional Chinese medicines, accordingly, increase of extra burden on the kidneys of patients can be prevented, excellent clinical treatment effects can be realized by the traditional Chinese medicine composition, and the traditional Chinese medicine composition can become effective fast.

The invention relates to an oral traditional Chinese medicine preparation, in particular to a traditional Chinese medicine composition for treating kidney disease and a preparation method thereof. The invention is characterized in that the composition is prepared by the following traditional Chinese medicine raw materials by parts by weight: 20-40 parts of radix pseudostellariae, 15-25 parts of poria cocos, 10-20 parts of salivia chinensis, 10-20 parts of Chinese angelica, 5-15 parts of szechuan lovage rhizome, 5-15 parts of white peony root, 5-15 parts of ophiopogon japonicus, 5-15 parts of Chinese magnoliavine fruit, 5-15 parts of Chinese yam, 5-15 parts of fangji root, 5-15 parts of pawpaw, 20-40 parts of cogongrass rhizome, 10-20 parts of polygonum aviculare, 10-20 parts of fringed pink, 10-20 parts of pyrrosia lingua, 10-20 parts of desmodium, 5-15 parts of pyrrosia lingua, 5-15 parts of health hawthorn and 3-10 parts of prepared liquorice. The medicine can rapidly eliminate oedema and has the effects of reducing frequency of urine, reducing blood pressure and reducing foams in urine, curative effect on kidney disease is obvious, and side effect is less.

The present invention relates to methods of diagnosing a kidney disorder in a patient, as well as methods of monitoring the progression of a kidney disorder and/or methods of monitoring a treatment protocol of a therapeutic agent or a therapeutic regimen. The invention also relates to assay methods used in connection with the diagnostic methods described herein.
