An Effective Treatment for Stage 4 Kidney Disease and Lupus

Lupus or SLE is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects many people’s health. This disease leads immune system to attack various organs all over the body. Kidney is just its one target. Clinical research reveals that nearly half of all Lupus patients develop kidney problems. When one person is diagnosed with stage 4 kidney disease and Lupus, an effective treatment must be their biggest concern.

The effective treatment should depend on the root cause

Even though the exact cause of Lupus is still unknown, kidney experts believe this disease is associated to inherited factors, virus infection, certain drugs, environmental factors, etc. With Lupus, the antibodies can’t distinguish harmful foreign substances from the body’s own healthy cells and tissues. As a result, abnormal antibodies and antigens form immune complexes. These immune complexes through blood circulation can flow all over the body to attack different organs as well as kidneys, which are the most commonly involved.

If left untreated, Lupus can damage more and more kidney function. When patients’ kidney function declines to 15%-30%, it means their condition has developed stage 4 kidney disease. Here, an effective treatment to reverse patients’ condition is needed urgently, otherwise, stage 4 kidney disease is more likely to deteriorate into end stage, where patients may have to live with dialysis or kidney transplant.

Is there such an effective treatment?

The fortunate answer is yes. Based on the above causes, this treatment plays its effect in two steps:

One step is to eliminate the immune complexes thoroughly: Generally, patients are not recommended to start dialysis unless their condition has developed stage 5. For people with stage 4 kidney disease and Lupus, we prefer to suggest plasma exchange, which can not only filter out these immune complexes from the blood but also supply essential elements to blood. With a clean blood circulation, no immune complexes can attack kidneys.

The other step is to repair the damaged kidney cells: After finishing the first step, blood circulation can transport enough nutritions and oxygen to the damaged kidney cells. In this condition, some medicines like rheum officinale are used to increase damaged kidney cells’ self-curative ability. With enough nutrition and increased self-curative ability, more and more damaged kidney cell can achieve self-repair. Then, patients’ overall health can be improved largely.

If you are experiencing stage 4 kidney disease and Lupus, you can first consult the online to ask whether you are the candidate to this effective treatment, which is called blood pollution therapy.
