Chinese medicine treatment of kidney disease has certain advantages. It is to repair kidney organizations and improve kidney function, through differential treatment, so that kidney disease can under control. But if the patient wants to get a good effect, it takes some time. Because chronic disease of years or even ten years, can’t be effective treated overnight. Therefore, only by adhering to the medication, effect can be seen. One or two routine urine is not telling anything. In the course of treatment, it is inevitable that kidney disease repeat or recurrent caused by cold, fatigue, mood swings, poor diet, etc. Some patients do not understand this point. As seeing disease appear repeatedly, increase of urine protein or red blood cells, they fight back out, so that they falls short of success in the last stage. Some patients also have taken some medicine for a period. When the checks are normal, they stop medicine self-assertive. Not long after the results of urine protein and red blood cells appear again. Then the disease is repeated like this, even years. So, some disease that could be well controlled actually miss the best treatment opportunity.
In clinical, we found that many patients or families of patients is easy take two extremes in treatment of the disease.
First, some patients pay inadequate attention to the condition and prognosis. There are no treatment goal, no medication persistence, then, the time delays. So, the disease eventually become incurable.
Second, the mental burden of some patients is too heavy, and even some patient buy a lot of books related to kidney disease himself. They read every day, and visit kidney specialists everywhere. As if himself has become an expert of kidney disease. When they receive treatment, they always suspect the doctor's treatment plan and don’t cooperate with the doctor treatment. As everyone knows, any expert’s diagnosis and treatment of disease have an understanding process, while the effect is also a stage of moving from quantitative to qualitative changes. Frequent replacement of doctors is taboo of medical diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Some patients also are tired because of running around, making the disease worse. Some patient are surprising for subtle changes of the urine tests and even they buy a test strip to detect their own. Virtually, they make a big psychological burden themselves, which is very unfavorable to the treatment of kidney disease.
So, we remind family members of kidney patients and patients, it is necessary to attach great importance to the kidney and active accept treatment. But they should not be impatient. They should adhere to treatment, until complete recovery.
