Diabetes and Hypertension is a major cause of Kidney damage


Kidney Function
Kidneys are the organs of the body toxic waster sophisticated, the size of a fist and shaped like beans (ears). There are 2 pieces of kidney and is located at the waist. Kidneys every day processes an average of 2,000 liters of blood and produce 2 liters of sewage and water. Wastes in the blood come from the combustion of muscle and from the food. The body takes nutrients for energy and cell replacement. Once the nutrients taken, the rest is returned by the body into the blood.
Kidneys filter waste and throw it away. If renal function decreases, the waste will accumulate in the blood so harmful to the body because it is like poison. Filtration in the kidney made by a small nerve called the nephron.

In this nephron blood capillaries intersect with neurological or urinary tube called a tubule (bladder).
When the wastes and fluid are separated from the blood and into the urine disposal system, there was a complex chemical exchange process.
Kidney Cross Section
At first tubule accept waste and other chemicals that are still useful for the body. Kidneys then measured levels of chemicals (such as sodium, phosphorus, and potassium) and returns again to the blood.

Thus kidney function:
a. Filtering remains of combustion products and excess water from the blood and throw it in the form of urine     into the bladder via the ureters.
b. Set the required chemical constituents of the body.
c. Issued three hormones: erythropoietin or EPO, which stimulates the bones to make red blood cells, called     renin, which regulates blood pressure, the active form of vitamin D which helps maintain calcium for bones     and for the balance of chemicals in the body.

A pair of kidneys are functioning optimally called function 100%. This condition is actually exceed the body's needs, because many people are born with only one kidney and they live a healthy life is not problematic. In this case, people still can live a healthy life with 50% kidney function.
If renal function decreases to below 20%, it will be a big problem and if the function is only 10-15% (renal failure), people will not be able to live longer (NIH Publication No. 01-4694).

Kidney diseases attack the nephrons generally that causes a decrease in filtration capacity. Nephron damage can occur quickly (acute) poisoning or accident, or it could be damaged slowly (chronic) and a look after a few years.

The main cause of kidney damage is due to diabetes (type 1 or 2), or high blood pressure, while other causes eg poison, drugs are eaten continuously for a long time or drugs that are harmful to the kidneys.
Diabetes is a disease that causes the body can not use sugar as it should. Blood sugar can not be broken down and remains in the blood that are toxic. This condition is caused nephrons become damaged.

Other major kidney damage causes of high blood pressure or hypertension. Hypertension can lead to rupture of capillaries in the nephron. This causes damage to blood vessels in the kidneys filtering process waste becomes normal.

Leaves Insulin for Treatment of Diabetes Mellitus


Glance Diabetes Mellitus
Diabetes mellitus is caused due to a decrease in the hormone insulin produced by the pancreas gland. A decrease in insulin hormone resulting sugar is consumed the body can not be perfectly processed, so that blood sugar levels to rise. Normal blood sugar levels are <110 mg/dl during fasting or <140 mg/dl 2 hours after eating. Said to suffer from disease when blood sugar levels> 126 mg/dl during fasting or> 200 mg/dl 2 hours after eating.

Leaves insulin for treatment of diabetes mellitus
The traits - traits a person has diabetes mellitus, namely:
1. There was a weight loss without cause
2. The frequency of urination increases
3. Blurred vision
3. Frequent thirst
4. Fatigue and lack of energy

Glance Insulin Plant Leaves
Leaves insulin has the scientific name Tithonia diversifolia. This plant comes from Mexico. This plant is rarely cultivated deliberately but only used as a hedge plant. These plants also grow wild in the river or courtyard. Plant known as Mexican Sunflower has characteristics such as finger leaves, woody stems with a height of 1 meter and has yellow flowers resemble sunflowers.

Leaves insulin is still less known by the public. This plant popularly known as mexican sunflower and used as anti-diabetic and anti virus by Taiwan society. The country Kenya this plant used to treat digestive disorders. While in Nigeria, the plant leaf is regular insulin used by the public for malaria drugs, liver, and strep throat.

Scientific evidence
Research on plant leaves this insulin is not yet widely done in Indonesia. Several studies done abroad as is done by Toshihiro Miura and colleagues from the Department of Clinical Nutrition, Suzuka University of Medical Science, Japan in 2005. The research was done by giving the ethanol extract of leaves of Tithonia in rats with Diabetes Mellitus, which has a weight 20-25 grams. Concentration of the solution used is 100 mg/kg, 500 mg/kg, and 1,500 mg/kg body weight. As a control used mice that were given distilled water 20 ml/kg. Blood sugar levels in mice was measured every week. The results showed that blood sugar levels mice fed the ethanol extract of Tithonia decreased blood sugar levels significantly. The higher concentration of ethanol extract higher the blood sugar levels drop. At a concentration of ethanol extract 1,500 mg/kg was able to lower blood sugar levels of mice were originally 509 ± 22 mg/dl to 340 ± 14 mg/dl to 7 hours post-treatment. While the control mice kept their blood sugar levels.
How to make herbal Leaves insulin
How to make herbal Leaves insulin is easy, namely:
1. Take insulin 10 leaves (fresh leaves or leaves can be dried)
2. Boil in 4 cups of water
3. Let the stew until the remaining 3 cups
4. Drink warm or cold current. Pulp leftover stew can be boiled again until translucent colors.

Leaves Insulin for healing herbs can consume 3x daily (every drink 1 cup). If the blood sugar has dropped frequency of consumption of herbs can be reduced to 2 times a day, and 1 times a day. Regularly check blood sugar levels is very important to control blood sugar. Treatment of diabetes mellitus with Leaves insulin herbs should also be accompanied by a diet of sugar.
