Nearly every woman who gets married is eager to join the ranks of mothers, women with Lupus Nephritis are no exception. Then whether these women could be pregnant? Take a look at what experts say.
In fact, many doubts are bothering women with Lupus Nephritis. For example, is it safe if I am in pregnancy? Whether Lupus Nephritis inherits to my child? Many of similar doubts make them troublesome. So I like to help these women patients.Stage 3 Lupus Nephritis: How to Improve Kidney Function to Avoid Dialysis Alternative Treatment for Proteinuria in Stage 4 Lupus Nephritis Stem Cell Therapy Cost in Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital
Simply speaking, women with Lupus Nephritis could conceive and deliver children if they could pay attention to some details listed in the below.
Medical research has found that the causes for Lupus Nephritis include various different reasons, such as inheritable genes, women hormones, external factors including ultraviolet rays, food additives, etc.
Lupus Nephritis often attacks those women in their reproductive age, especially those women between 20 to 30 years. Pregnency and childbirth could really influence the process of Lupus Nephritis. In the past, lupus Nephritis was listed as one the contraindication diseases in pregnancy. However, along with the persistent research in field of Lupus Nephritis, women patients with Lupus Nephritis could also get pregnant and give birth to babies. And these conditions are listed here:Stage 3 Lupus Nephritis: How to Improve Kidney Function to Avoid Dialysis Alternative Treatment for Proteinuria in Stage 4 Lupus Nephritis Stem Cell Therapy Cost in Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital
1.Lupus Nephritis is under the controllable stage, although patients may still take prednisone, the daily dosage is only about 5-15mg, and there is not any manifestations of this disease’s activity.
2.Diseases are well controlled over one year, that is to say, patients have stopped using hormone for over one year.
3.Pregnency should be considered only after the renal function and its related indexes are well controlled over two years, and there are no any other organs’ diseases.Stage 3 Lupus Nephritis: How to Improve Kidney Function to Avoid Dialysis Alternative Treatment for Proteinuria in Stage 4 Lupus Nephritis Stem Cell Therapy Cost in Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital
Besides the above mentioned, there are many details which should be paid much attention by women patients with Lupus Nephritis during the period of pregnancy. Due to Lupus Nephritis has a tendency of heredity, so genetics instructions should be used for trying to give birth a healthy child.

Alert for Systemic Lupus Erythematosus(SLE) Complications
1, light nephritis: no related symptoms, with normal renal function, only proteinuria, urinary tube, microscopic hematuria.
2, nephrotic syndrome (disorder): a large number of proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, high degree of edema, but does not increase blood cholesterol, pathological slow progress.
3, chronic nephritis: patients showed varying degrees of edema, hypertension, proteinuria, and renal dysfunction deformed red blood cells in urine.
4, uremia: This is the outcome of lupus nephritis is a common cause of death in patients. 5, acute nephritis; facial edema, oliguria, transient hypertension, proteinuria, hematuria clear, red blood cell casts in urine, a transient azotemia.
6, distal renal tubular toxicity: At this time concentrated urine kidney function and regulation of acid-base balance dysfunction.
Systemic lupus erythematosus is due to immune dysfunction, to produce a variety of autoantibodies, and thus the formation of immune complexes caused by systemic vasculitis, leading to tissue damage in inflammatory autoimmune diseases. That being the case, then the group will bear the brunt of the glomerular capillary, the researchers confirmed: antinuclear antibodies in anti-double stranded DNA antibodies, and glomerular DNA combine to form immune complex deposition in the glomerular capillaries, The activation of complement and the release of chemokines attract neutrophils, which neutrophil degranulation time and release of inflammatory mediators leading to glomerulonephritis. Moreover, in addition to the kidney glomeruli other vein, there is also the inflammatory response, which formed a whole nephritis, whether glomerular or tubules are affected, and eventually cause damage to the kidneys function.
Although lupus erythematosus lupus nephritis more serious disease, but if aggressive treatment, there is still hope of cure, in treatment, Western medicine is a hormone used to add other small dose immunosuppressive drug combination, can receive good results . Especially since traditional Chinese medicine involved in the treatment of this disease, through diagnosis and treatment, not only to treat the disease itself, but also against or reduce the side effects of western medicine, so lupus treatment appeared more optimistic outlook.
I am in Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital in a doctor, our hospital combined therapy integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine the essence of traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine in the treatment of kidney disease, a new and effective innovation for kidney disease treatment, if you have kidney disease need to answer, can you give us online doctor, also can also email me, my E-mail address is: ckdstage@hotmail.com.

6 large clinical symptoms of lupus nephritis
Lupus nephritis is a kidney caused by systemic lupus erythematosus involving an immune complex glomerulonephritis, systemic lupus erythematosus is a major cause of death and major complications. Systemic lupus erythematosus is one of the clinical manifestations of the symptoms of multiple system damage, chronic systemic autoimmune diseases, serum anti-nuclear antibody mainly having a number of different autoantibodies. The course of the disease in remission and is characterized by alternating episodes of acute, visceral (kidney, central nervous system) damage poor prognosis. The prevalence of the disease in our country 1000, higher than in Western countries reported 1/2000 common in women, especially women of childbearing age 20-40 years of age.
Systemic lupus erythematosus manifested as fatigue, weight loss, fever, rash, photosensitivity, vascular skin and other symptoms, lupus nephritis, usually subacute or chronic nephritis, damaged glomerular capillary plexus, the clinical manifestations nephrotic syndrome, hematuria, proteinuria, hypertension.
Lupus occurs when kidney damage known as lupus nephritis (LN). About 70% of SLE clinical manifestations of kidney damage. Lupus nephritis (LN) insidious onset may also be abrupt, the symptoms can be mild to severe. Symptoms of lupus nephritis involving nearly include glomerular and tubulointerstitial renal vascular damage series of symptoms, edema is common, 1/6 of patients with varying degrees of renal function decline at the time of diagnosis. Can be divided according to their clinical symptoms following types: (1) light: that asymptomatic hematuria and (or) proteinuria, this type accounted for 30% to 50%, more common clinical. Clinical manifestations of mild to moderate proteinuria and (or) hematuria, edema, hypertension, proteinuria and no less than 1g / d, with normal renal function. Pathology mostly mesangial proliferative or focal segmental lupus nephritis, the prognosis is good.
Acute nephritic syndrome type: rare, clinical manifestations such as acute post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis, acute onset there is a certain degree of hematuria, proteinuria, urinary tube. May have edema, hypertension, acute renal failure can occur even.
Rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis syndrome type: rare, clinically resembles rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis rapid onset, rapid development, oliguria or no urine, often hematuria, proteinuria, urinary tube, may have edema, often without only mild hypertension or high blood pressure, anemia and hypoalbuminemia. Rapid deterioration of renal function in the short term, a few weeks or months to the development of uremia. Pathological changes often severe diffuse proliferative, crescentic glomerulonephritis, or those with severe vasculitis.
Nephrotic syndrome: The most common accounting for about 60% of patients showed onset nephrotic syndrome. That massive proteinuria (> 3.5g / d), hypoalbuminemia, may have significant edema, but do not necessarily have elevated blood cholesterol. Lupus nephritis with nephrotic syndrome often have two cases, there is a simple expression of nephrotic syndrome, hematuria, no less, no or only mild hypertension, high blood pressure, slow the development of this type of disease, renal function in the long remained stable, mostly membrane pathology of lupus nephritis another addition to the symptoms of nephrotic syndrome, but with hematuria, hypertension and renal damage if not treated promptly, the majority can be developed to uremia in 2 to 3 years, pathology often diffuse proliferative lupus nephritis.
Chronic nephritic syndrome type: the performance of persistent proteinuria, hematuria, urinary tube and varying degrees of edema, hypertension, anemia and renal insufficiency. Longer duration, delayed healing of development to uremia. Pathology often diffuse proliferative lupus nephritis.
Tubules syndrome type: rare, manifested as chronic interstitial, tubular damage, there may be an increase in nocturia, lower specific gravity, hypertension, urinary enzymes increased, electrolyte acid-base balance disorders. More common in the distal renal tubular damage, there may be complete or incomplete renal tubular acidosis. This type is often associated with other types of combination.
To sum up our symptoms for lupus nephritis introduction, I am sure the symptoms of lupus nephritis have been understood that the life of lupus nephritis is more difficult to cure a disease, must be treated as soon as possible, we need to understand the etiology based on actively cooperate with medical treatment, maintain an optimistic attitude, and I believe that we will have some help cure the disease.

Causes and Symptoms of Lupus Nephritis
Lupus nephritis is a kidney disorder that is a complication of systemic lupus
erythematosus.
Causes of Lupus Nephritis
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE, or lupus) is an autoimmune disease. This means there is a problem with the body's immune system.
Normally, the immune system helps protect the body from harmful substances. But in patients with an autoimmune disease, the immune system cannot tell the difference between harmful substances and healthy ones. As a result, the immune system attacks otherwise healthy cells and tissue.
SLE may damage different parts of the kidney, leading to interstitial nephritis, nephrotic syndrome, and membranous GN. It may rapidly worsen to kidney failure.
Lupus nephritis affects approximately 3 out of every 10,000 people. In children with SLE, about half will have some form or degree of kidney involvement.
More than half of patients have not had other symptoms of SLE when they are diagnosed with lupus nephritis.
SLE is most common in women ages 20 - 40. For more information, see: systemic lupus erythematosus.
Symptoms of lupus nephritis include:
Blood in the urine
Foamy appearance to urine
High blood pressure
Swelling of any area of the body
If you have symptoms of lupus nephritis mentioned above, you should have a timely treatment.
If there is anything unclear about the natural cure for kidney cyst, do not hesitate to email us renal-disease@hotmail.com. Keep well!

Flax Seeds Help you Fight Against Kidney Disease
Protect against heart disease, lower cholesterol and control high blood
pressure
Several studies indicate that flaxseed oil can lower cholesterol, thereby significantly reducing the risk of heart disease. It may help prevent elevated blood pressure by inhibiting inflammatory reactions that case artery-hardening plaque and poor circulation. Taking flaxseed oil may also protect against chest pain.
Flax & Kidney Disease
Flaxseed has demonstrated useful anti-inflammatory and antioxidative properties in a number of animal models and human diseases. Flaxseed may also inhibit sclerosis and formation of scar tissue. In recent years, researchers have been investigating whether the phytoestrogens and lignans from foods such as flaxseed can play a beneficially therapeutic role in kidney disease, which often involves destructive inflammatory, oxidative and sclerotic processes. The answer seems to be quite positive.
"There is growing evidence that dietary phytoestrogens have a beneficial role in chronic renal disease," say Drs. M.T. Velasquez and S.J. Bhathena. They note recent findings that suggest that "consumption of soy-based protein rich in isoflavones and flaxseed rich in lignans retards the development and progression of chronic renal disease. In several animal models of renal disease, both soy protein and flaxseed have been shown to limit or reduce proteinuria and renal pathological lesions associated with progressive renal failure. In studies of human subjects with different types of chronic renal disease, soy protein and flaxseed also appear to moderate proteinuria and preserve renal function."
"Flaxseed appears to be renoprotective in lupus nephritis," the researchers said.

Though can flaxseed oil bring some certain benefits to chronic kidney disease patients, every coin has two sides. Flaxseed can block the esophagus or parts of the intestinal tract. Therefore individuals who have had esophageal or intestinal blockages should not use flaxseed. Side effects associated with taking flaxseed are gastrointestinal complaints such as diarrhea, gas, nausea, and stomach pain. Allergic reactions have been reported by individuals who took flaxseed or flaxseed oil.

Lupus Nephritis
Systemic lupus erythematosus — more commonly known as lupus — is an
autoimmune disease in which your immune system produces proteins called
autoantibodies that attack your own tissues and organs. Some people with lupus
develop a form of kidney inflammation called lupus nephritis.
Lupus nephritis occurs when lupus autoantibodies affect the filtering structures (glomeruli) of your kidneys. This abnormal process results in kidney inflammation and may lead to blood in the urine (hematuria), protein in the urine (proteinuria), high blood pressure, impaired kidney function or even kidney failure.
What causes lupus?
No one knows what causes the disease. Your family history and things in your environment such as infections, viruses, toxic chemicals or pollutants (car fumes, factory smoke) may play a role in causing the disease. Men and women of all ages and races get lupus. However, about 90 percent of people diagnosed with lupus are women. About 1.5 million Americans have lupus.
What are the symptoms of lupus?
Different people get different symptoms. These may include skin rashes, joint pain, hair loss, sun sensitivity, tiredness, weight loss, fever, swelling of lymph glands, chest pain and nerve involvement.
Lupus Nephritis Diagnosis and Treatment
The diagnosis of lupus nephritis begins with a medical history, physical exam, and evaluation of symptoms. You doctor will likely order tests to make or confirm a diagnosis. Tests used in diagnosing kidney problems include urine tests, blood tests, imaging tests such as ultrasound, and kidney biopsy.
There are five different types of lupus nephritis. Treatment is based on the type of lupus nephritis, which is determined by the biopsy. Since symptoms and severity vary from person to person, treatments are individually tailored to meet a person's particular circumstances.
Medications used in treatment can include:
· Corticosteroids. These strong anti-inflammatory drugs can decrease inflammation. Doctors may prescribe these until the lupus nephritis improves. Because these drugs can cause a variety of potentially serious side effects, they must be monitored carefully. Doctors generally taper down the dosage once the symptoms start to improve.
· Immunosuppressive drugs. These drugs, which are related to the ones used to treat cancer or prevent the rejection of transplanted organs, work by suppressing immune system activity that damages the kidneys. They includecyclophosphamide (Cytoxan), azathioprine (Imuran[mmr1] ) and mycophenolate (Cellcept).
· Medications to prevent blood clots or lower blood pressure if needed
Even with treatment, loss of kidney function sometimes progresses. If both kidneys fail, people with lupus nephritis may need dialysis. Dialysis involves filtering the blood through a machine to remove waste products from the body.
Ultimately, it may be necessary to have a kidney transplant. In those cases, people will need additional drugs to keep their immune system from rejecting the transplanted kidney.
Lifestyle Changes for Lupus Nephritis
Certain lifestyle habits can help protect the kidneys. People with lupus nephritis should do the following:
· Drink enough fluids to stay well hydrated.
· Eat a low-sodium diet, especially if hypertension is an issue.
· Avoid smoking and drinking alcohol.
· Exercise regularly.
· Maintain a healthy blood pressure.
· Limit cholesterol.
· Avoid medications that can affect the kidneys, such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
Your doctor may also recommend that you eat a diet low in potassium, phosphorus, and protein if there is already loss of kidney function.
Although lupus nephritis is a serious problem, most people who receive treatment do not go on to have kidney failure.
