Firstly, in most countries, hormones such as prednisone and immunosuppressive agents are applied, which can indeed help diminish the symptoms and relive patients suffering to some extent. However, these therapies just focus on the symptoms not the repair of intrinsic cells. As we know, when Nephrotic Syndrome takes place, there must be damage of intrinsic cells in the kidney, which leads to the damage of renal structure and function, thus causing hematuria(Hematuria and Kidney Disease), proteinuria(Proteinuria and Kidney Disease), edema(Swelling and Kidney Disease) and so on. If we only use hormones such as prednisone and immunosuppressive agents, we can not repair the damaged intrinsic cells and can not stop the recurrence of the symptoms accordingly.
Secondly, the above mentioned medicines hormones such as prednisone and immunosuppressive agents has side effects or adverse effects. As we know, most patients with Nephrotic Syndrome are children. They are growing. Too much application will be a concern for both children themselves as well as their parents.Is There any Treatment for Nephrotic Syndrome
Is there a new therapy which can avoid the above mentioned disadvantages?
Yes. In Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital, we have immunotherapy which can be divided into immune diagnosis, immune clearance, immune inhibition, immune tolerance, immune adjustment and immune protection. It is a combination of Chinese medicine and western medicine, which can not only treat the symptoms but also repair the damaged intrinsic cells. Micro-Chinese Medicine is applied, which can increase immune ability and discharge the immune complex as well as improve the blood circulation, including micro-circulation, dissolve the stasis in the blood, all of which is hard to achieve for western medicine.
In addition, Immunotherapy is also applied at the same time. Not only can Immunotherapy differentiate into cells the body needs, but also Immunotherapys can increase immunity as well. The combination of them can give the best therapy in the treatment of Nephrotic Syndrome.
