Newest Treatment for Stage 3 Renal Failure

Long-term experience have proved that conventional treatment can not bring stage 3 renal failure under control and helps to avoid dialysis, so new treatment is needed. In Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital, China, stage 3 renal failure is not simply treated with oral medicines like hypotensive drugs, prednisone, cyclophosphamide,etc. In our hospital, these medicines are applied as adjuvant therapy and to avoid the potential side effects, they are temporarily used. Chinese medicine play a dominant role in the systematic treatment for stage 3 renal failure.

Stage 3 renal failure is marked with moderate decreased kidney function. It is a relatively serious kidney condition, but not severe enough to deprive one’s life. In such a case, if we can prevent further kidney damages and at the same time repair some injured kidney tissues, it can be reversed back to stage 2 which can be treated easier.

With the help of advanced medical device-permeameter, active ingredients in herbs get into kidneys directly to repair injured kidney tissues by dilating blood vessels, blocking inflammation, promoting bloodstream in kidney and increasing their self-healing ability. Owing to the special usage of herbs, no side effects are caused. Additional, with this special herbal treatment, not only low GFR can be increased, but also high creatinine level and BUN level can be lowered down to the normal range.

2. Mai kang mixture
