Can Orlistat Be Given To FSGS Patients

One of our patients ask such a question “Can I with Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) take Orlistat”. Here we will talk about this question.

What is Orlistat?

Orlistat is a prescription medication that is used to block some of the fat from the foods that are being consumed. This medication is used along with a diet reduced in calories to help people who are overweight to lose weight.

Orlistat and kidney damage

Orlistat may cause severe toxicity of internal organs. Orlistat inhibits a major detoxification enzyme-carboxylesterase 2 in the liver, kidney and gastrointestinal track. When this occurs, it may lead to severe toxicity of internal organs such as the liver and kidney.

Actually FSGS patients should not eat orlistat because this drug is only a medication for weight loss but cannot cure the disease.

Herbal medicines for FSGS

The application of Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy, a herbal treatment for FSGS, makes a normal life without dialysis and kidney transplant can still be expected.

The active ingredients of Chinese herbal medicines can play the functions like anti-inflammation, anti-coagulation, degradation, extending blood vessels, relieving ischemia and anoxia state in kidneys, promoting DNA replication and providing nutrients for damaged kidneys. In this way, injured kidneys can be repaired and renal function can be improved gradually. This is the reason why Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy becomes more and more popular.

Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy not only treats the symptoms of FSGS but also helps repair damaged kidney tissues. This reduces the risk of FSGS relapse.
