What is the drug therapy in chronic kidney disease? Generally, in traditional
treatment, immune medicines which are used to treat chronic kidney disease can
be divided into three kinds:
The first one which focuses on cellular immunity is such as FK506, Sirolimus,
and Cyclosporin A. The second kind of medicine which focuses on body fluid is
Leflunomide. The third one which focuses on various sources of immunosuppressive
(agent) is such as glucocorticoid, cyclophosphamide, chlorambucil, methotrexate,
azathioprine, Mycophenolate Mofetil and so on.
However, every coin has two sides. Long time using these drugs can lead to
many side effects. They either treat chronic kidney disease excessively or
moderately, which leads to a fact that at last, patients can not help being
trapped by uremia.
So what is the new therapy which can bring patients with chronic kidney
disease new hope? As we mentioned in the above passages that about 95% of the
chronic kidney disease is immune disease except PKD and so on. So the treatment
of chronic kidney disease should focus on the immune blocking, immune tolerance,
immune protection, and immune treatment in order.
Besides these, we should also realize that kidney is a complicated organ.
Once trapped by the suffering of chronic kidney disease, it is not easy for
patients to recover. So it is necessary and important to keep calm. Secondly,
chronic kidney disease patients should also get prepared to treat chronic kidney
disease for a long time. The inflammation in kidney is immune inflammatory
reaction, which is autologous inflammation disease. It is a natural reaction,
which is also super allergic reaction. If the abnormal things which remain in
the kidney can not be cleaned out completely, the inflammatory reaction will not
stop. Western medicine has no good drugs for solving it. Chinese medicine can be
effective, but it needs time. So patients with chronic kidney disease should
prepare in mind that it is a long time.
In addition, stop the bad habit as soon as possible such as do not keep warm
in winter, which can lead to cold and worsen the kidney disease. Just as we
mentioned in the above, chronic kidney disease is due to the deposition of
immune complex. When patients get a cold, antigen and antibody will combine and
new immune complex will come into being, which will increase the burden. So
developing a good habit is also very important to assure the effect of the
treatment.
