Natural Treatment For FSGS Without Prednisone Or Cyclosporine

FSGS is one common primary glomerular disease which is characterized by segmental scarring of less than 50% renal glomeruli. About 40%-60% FSGS patients will have chronic progression into kidney failure within 5-10 years and 10%-15% will have relatively rapid illness progression and develop kidney failure even earlier.

Usually nephrologists will prescribe some medicines such as prednisone, cyclosporine, ACEI, ARB, etc to help control proteinuria, high blood pressure, swelling and other symptoms so as to make patients feel more comfortable.

These medicines may help in the beginning, but long term intake of these hormones will cause many side effects and complications which often make patients feel more sick. Such as the renal toxicity of cyclosporine. What is more, they can only relieve clinical symptoms temporarily without solving the root problem, that is why proteinuria is often easy to relapse and illness conditions will continue to become worse.

Is there any natural remedy for FSGS that can help patients to get rid of prednisone, cyclosporine and all other hormones and cytotoxic drugs and make them feel more comfortable? Chinese medicines can help achieve the goals. But it is very important to consult professional practitioners of Chinese medicines and take it under the doctor’s permission and guidance so as to ensure both the efficiency and safety.

Chinese herbal medicines are natural and safe. When you first take Chinese medicines, you may not be able to stop hormones suddenly, but Chinese medicines can help greatly reduce the side effects of hormones. And gradually the dosage of hormones can be reduced and in the end they can be totally stoped without patients worrying about relapse as they usually will experience without the help of Chinese medicines.

Chinese medicines can eliminate blood stasis, promote blood circulation so as to increase blood flow to the kidneys and provide enough blood, oxygen and other nutritions for the damaged renal tissues to regenerate and revive.

Chinese medicines can be combined with plasma exchange and protein adsorption which can also be used to treat recurrent FSGS after kidney transplant. Plasma exchange and protein adsorption can reduce circulating immune factors and temporarily relieve proteinuria and provide a favorable internal environment for Chinese medicines to take better effects.
