How to Manage Relapsing Nephrotic Syndrome

Mentioned treatment of nephrotic syndrome, the first reaction of many people is this: with the hormone. Indeed, the use of hormone therapy renal syndrome has become a very common phenomenon, almost all hospitals are doing, but the question is: if the hormone therapy, how to do?

This year 34-year-old Ms. Wu encountered such troubles. In January when it was detected nephropathy, first in a local hospital, and later to Peking University Shenzhen Hospital, using prednisone tablets, but only burn edema reduction, and urinary protein has been maintained at 2 + more. Also he made during renal biopsy, but only to "consider" minimal change glomerular disease. Is renal biopsy can not be sure in the end is what disease? Wu Jie of western medicine had doubts.

Hormonotherapy: An Double-edged Sword for Nephrotic Syndrome

Ms. Wu came to my Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital, she has reached 4+ urine protein, urine occult blood have 2+. The choices are simple reason, "because I heard this is the use of Chinese medicine, Western medicine anyway, for I have does not work, I want to try traditional Chinese medicine."

Why do Western medicine does not work?

Chinese Medicines for Minimal Change Disease

Because the main role of hormones is to suppress the immune response, so you can continue to effectively prevent kidney damage from the immune response. But the problem is that kidney damage is not only a cause of immune response, but also inhibit the reaction does not mean that improving renal function - this is the reason Wu Jie before treatment ineffective.Alternative Treatment to Hormones Medicines for Nephrotic Syndrome Patients with Proteinuria

We will also use the hormone, but we use hormones, just as drugs that suppress the immune response, rather than flamboyant drug treatment of kidney disease. Really improve renal microcirculation, recovery of renal function approach is Chinese medicine, which we call "clean blood toxin therapy."

Two weeks later, Wu Jie got a review of laboratory test, urine protein down to ±, urine occult blood has been negative. Although not entirely negative, but she has been very excited, because of his previous treatment, are not less than 2+. Now she understood: renal comprehensive therapy, the drug is not bad, but did not rule on!

Improved Indexes of Nephrotic Syndrome is Not Equal to Complete Recovery

Kidney disease is now a threat to people's health, the third class of diseases. As a chronic disease, and its treatment is a "protracted war", but in this "battle", there are a lot of patients, but there are errors in this regard.

Index decreased does not mean that the disease is cured

Many kidney patients may not pay attention to the seriousness of the early nephropathy, often using some of the hormone drugs to control urinary protein, occult blood. Beginning of treatment effect is relatively obvious, urine protein, occult blood and other laboratory markers of several better soon, and some even disappear completely. Some patients believe their illness cured, but often not the case.

Be sure to prevent the common cold

But soon encountered cold, fatigue and other adverse stimuli, the disease has increased. So, they began using hormone drugs, and so forth, is to eat a lot of medicine, but urinary protein, occult blood has not been controlled, but there was obesity, pleural effusion, and even liver damage, osteonecrosis and other drug side effects, the condition has become worse.

Limiting protein intake not eat protein

Protein metabolism of ammonia in the product, urea, creatinine and other nitrogenous substances need to go through the kidneys. If a person ingested too much protein will increase the liver, kidney burden, adverse effects on the human body. After the diagnosis of kidney disease, doctors often advise patients to control the intake of protein. But some patients excessive "follow doctor's orders", not only "limited protein" diet, or even "no protein" diet. "There patients were later diagnosed with chronic kidney disease, began to control protein diet, only vegetarian, do not eat meat, and even tofu are bite does not move, the result will not help in the treatment of kidney disease, but cause malnutrition, low immunity, infection , aggravating the condition.

Clinical studies have shown that low-protein diet can reduce urinary protein excretion. But protein is the body's essential nutrients, but also the human metabolism indispensable. Chronic nephritis, nephrotic syndrome patients with normal renal function as long as, it is not mainly vegetarian, should absorb some of the higher utilization of human and less demanding on the renal excretion of protein, and on the intake of protein should take "less "high-quality animal protein-based, such as milk, eggs, meat. In addition, soy products are allowed to be eaten, otherwise it will be worse.

Of course, although a friendly-kidney diet plays a assistant function, it fails to treat kidney disease from the root. It is common to use hormones to treat kidney disease, but these medicines have many adverse effects. Hence, we do not suggest patients to take these medicines. In Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is very popular. Due to its significant curative effects, many foreign patients come from more than 100 countries has recover health.
