Chronic Nephritis is the late stage of a group of kidney disorders, resulting in inflammation and slowly worsening destruction of internal kidney structures called glomeruli. Chronic Nephritis appears when there is slow, progressive destruction of the glomeruli of the kidneys, with progressive loss of kidney function. Chronic Nephritis is among the leading causes of chronic kidney failure and uremia.
The causes of Chronic Nephritis are complicated, many factors like infections, autoimmunity, medicine, heredity, environment and so on are involved in the causes of Chronic Nephritis. Immune injury is the common step of the generating process of most Chronic Nephritis, and immunology appears in most process of nearly all the Chronic Nephritis.
Chronic Nephritis includes many types, such as FSGS, IgA Nephropathy, Lupus nephritis, Membranous glomerulonephritis, Mesangial proliferative disorder and so on. Damage to the glomeruli affects the kidneys’ ability to filter waste products and fluids properly, which leads to blood in urine and proteinuria. Besides, swelling and high blood pressure are also the basic clinical symptoms of Chronic Nephritis.
If the Chronic Nephritis can not be controlled well, it will develop into kidney failure within several years, while different people have different situations. As a matter of fact, if patients can be treated by the efficient treatment at the early stage of Chronic Nephritis, the illness condition can be cured. With the kidney function becomes less and less, the possibility of reversion becomes less and less.

In many other hospitals, patients with Chronic Nephritis are usually treated by the treatments which only controls the swelling and proteinuria and other symptoms through steroid drugs and immunosuppressive drugs. However, these medicines can not help patients repair the damaged kidneys, recover the kidney function and avoid dialysis and kidney transplant. While more and more foreign patients come to China for treatment. Patients with Chronic Nephritis hope they could find an efficient treatment which can help them avoid dialysis and kidney transplant and improve the quality of life. Immunotherapy will not let them down.
