Feet and Ankle Swelling in Stage 5 Lupus NephritisFeet and ankle swelling are
common signs in Stage 5 Lupus Nephritis, in which almost all of the patients’
kidney function disappear. Therefore, knowing how to prevent and ease the
swelling is very important.
Conventional treatment for swollen legs in CKD stage 5
In cases of CKD stage 5, swelling symptom is usually treated by diuretics.
Our kidneys filter blood during which excessive fluids and wastes are
discharged. However, when kidneys are damaged, they will be unable in
functioning well, as a result of which, excessive fluids and wastes will build
up in the body. Swollen legs occur when large amounts of fluid build up in legs.
Diuretics is a kind of medication which can help our body remove excessive
fluids and when the fluids are removed out of patient’s body, swelling symptom
is remitted effectively.
Diuretics is helpful and show quick effects. However, it is not a long-term
solution, as it can not repair damaged kidneys at all. What is worse, long-term
application of diuretics will cause many side effects like dyslipidemia,
arrhythmia, coronary heart disease, arteriosclerosis and so on. Therefore,
diuretics treatment is not a long-time solution.
Immunotherapy for swollen legs in CKD stage 5
We have mentioned above that CKD stage 5 actually means end stage kidney
failure. In such a case, repairing damaged kidney tissues is the key point. For
an individual with CKD stage 5, there are healthy, damaged and necrotic renal
intrinsic cells. For these necrotic renal cells, it is impossible to make them
alive again, but for these damaged one, we can active them by increasing their
self-repairing capacity. Just as our hands, when there is a small wound, they
can recover by themselves. Our renal intrinsic cells also have self-repairing
ability and by increasing their self-curative ability, some damaged renal cells
can be repaired and also kidney function can be improved. As long as kidney
function is improved, excessive fluids can be discharged timely. Consequently,
swollen legs are alleviated greatly.
The advantage of Immunotherapy is that it can stop the progression of the
disease, restore the overall kidney function, and rebuild the immune system. The
further relapse of lupus kidney disease can be avoided. For the detailed
