New Generation of HIV Treatment

Geranium plants may sound foreign to our ears . However , this plant has many benefits . Geranium plants normally used as an anti - mosquito . In addition , based on a recent study from the German Research Centre for Environmental Health, which is located in Munich , suggests that this plant also has the potential to treat HIV . 
Able Geranium plants inactivate HIV - 1 
The study revealed that the extract of geranium plants have the ability to inactivate HIV - 1 and prevent viral entry into human cells . For information , HIV is divided into two types , namely HIV - 1 and HIV - 2 . HIV - 1 is the type most responsible for cases of AIDS . 
 
The researchers explained that the geranium plant extract has the potential to become a new AIDS drug because it has a content of anti-HIV - 1 compound of a new class . Geranium plant parts , especially the roots , contain compounds that can fight and prevent HIV - 1 virus to replicate in the human body . They also found that the compound could protect the blood , allowing it to protect the immune and blood cells from viral infection . The trick is to hold the particles of HIV in human cells so that it can efficiently prevent the virus to enter the cell . 
 
Several clinical trials have shown if the plant is safe for use in humans . Even in Germany itself , geranium plant has obtained permission to use as a medicinal herb . Professor Ruth Brack - Werner , head of research , said that geranium extract is very promising for the development of treatments derived from plants , especially against HIV - 1 . Brack - Werner explains , " geranium extract against HIV - 1 in a way that is not the same with drugs other HIV - 1 in clinical use . This can be regarded as a type of therapy that is worthwhile " 
 
According to him , geranium plant extracts are very promising candidates to add to or improve the treatment options of anti - HIV - 1 . In fact , this plant extract has several advantages , which are easily manufactured and does not need refrigeration . 
 
" The next step is we have to perform safety testing for the treatment of HIV - 1 in humans , " he said . 
 
Based on data from the WHO , more than 35 million people worldwide have been infected with HIV , particularly HIV - 1 . Without treatment , HIV can damage the immune system over time will become AIDS . The condition is particularly deadly because patients will be easily affected by other diseases .<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlN8nTB1i6w1z_-OO1EPlKlfLEAPghsqiFvhbr-bJtGVa1OUNWzvaqdHGMMXYchXLgcngTi6o96lPqhFBs-HdhRRADu1g6rok7jNXl7jR_vaPKTjnKVgZYjudUh6ah1K7WezG1tpP3_JcfBC0_qeWwwwIhcVzk0O-VSjjB_DzsjxLGHRmISShdKjzP/s300/HIV.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="168" data-original-width="300" height="168" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlN8nTB1i6w1z_-OO1EPlKlfLEAPghsqiFvhbr-bJtGVa1OUNWzvaqdHGMMXYchXLgcngTi6o96lPqhFBs-HdhRRADu1g6rok7jNXl7jR_vaPKTjnKVgZYjudUh6ah1K7WezG1tpP3_JcfBC0_qeWwwwIhcVzk0O-VSjjB_DzsjxLGHRmISShdKjzP/s1600/HIV.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>

Kidney is one of the tools expenses ( excretion ) in the body , shaped like a bean whose function filter wastes from the blood and throw it together with water in the form of urine . If the kidneys can not perform its function would be fatal to the body , and in the world of medicine known as kidney failure . In order to prevent the occurrence of kidney disease in our body , then we need to know what are the things that can cause kidney disease and the type . 
 
Types of renal disease in the two diseases , namely acute renal failure and chronic kidney disease each type has a different cause the following descriptions : 
 
Causes of Acute Renal Disease 
Causes of acute kidney disease can be divided into three major groups , namely : 
Pre-renal causes , ie, reduced blood flow to the kidneys . It can be caused by : 
hypovolemia ( blood volume less ) , such as heavy bleeding . 
Dehydration due to fluid loss , such as vomiting , diarrhea , fever and sweating a lot . 
Dehydration due to lack of fluid intake . 
Drugs , such as diuretic drugs that cause excessive discharge in the form of urine . 
Impaired blood flow to the kidneys caused by a blockage in the blood vessels of the kidneys . 
The cause of renal where damage occurs in the kidney . 
Sepsis : The body's immune system is redundant because there is an infection that causes inflammation and damage to the kidneys . 
The drugs are toxic to the kidney . 
Rhabdomyolysis : muscle damage resulting in damaged muscle fibers clog the filtration system of the kidneys . This can occur due to trauma or severe burns . 
Multiple myeloma . 
Acute inflammation of the glomeruli , the disease systemic lupus erythematosus , Wegener 's granulomatosis , and Goodpasture's syndrome . 
Causes of postrenal , where the flow of urine from the kidney . 
Blockage of the urinary tract ( bladder or ureter ) cause the flow of urine to the kidneys reversed . If the higher pressure it can cause kidney damage and kidney become dysfunctional again . 
An enlarged prostate or prostate cancer can inhibit the urethra ( part of the urinary tract ) and inhibit bladder emptying . 
Suppress tumor in the abdomen and obstruct the ureter . 
kidney stones 
Causes of Chronic Kidney Disease 
Causes of chronic kidney disease is usually caused by some serious illness , which will affect slowly to damage of your kidneys . Some diseases that act causes kidney disease are : 
Hypertension or high blood pressure . High blood pressure that is not controlled , will damage the blood vessels and nephrons in the kidney there . Where the damaged nephrons can no longer do its job to filter out all the waste , sodium and excess fluid from the blood . The presence of excess fluid and sodium that are in your bloodstream it will give extra pressure on blood vessel walls and cause your blood pressure to increase the excess . With the excessive blood pressure which is the main factor causing kidney failure . 
Diabetes Mellitus ( Diabetes Mellitus ) 
The blockage of the urinary tract ( stones , tumors , narrowing / stricture ) 
Autoimmune disorders such as systemic lupus erythematosus 
With cancer ( cancer) 
Kidney disorders , where there are many developmental cysts in the kidneys themselves ( polycystic kidney disease ) 
The presence of cell damage in the kidneys filter either by infection or inflammation due to the effects of high blood pressure . Medical terms is called glomerulonephritis . 
Similarly, on some of the causes of kidney disease .
