Chinese Medicine for Hematuria in IgA Nephropathy

Many IgA Nephropathy patients are bothered by frequent relapse of hematuria which refers to the presence of excess red blood cells in urine. Frequent relapse of hematuria accelerates IgA Nephropathy to kidney failure and at that time, dialysis or kidney transplant will be needed to prolong life span. Commonly used medicines can not control hematuria well, as they can not treat kidney problem from the root. Here, we suggested Chinese medicine treatment for IgA Nephropathy patients who fail to bring their hematuria under control with conventional treatment.

How is hematuria caused by IgA Nephropathy?

IgA Nephropathy is a glomerular disease which is associated with immune disorder. IgA (Immunoglobulin A) in normal condition helps to fight against invader, however, in cases of IgA Nephropathy, large amounts of IgA deposit in mesangial area, leading to inflammation which damage glomerular filtration membrane directly. Under such a condition, when blood flow through kidney, red blood cells leak into urine from damaged filtration membrane. As a result, hematuria appears.

How is hematuria brought under control through Chinese medicine?

Conventional medicines fail to treat hematuria because they can not repair injured glomerular filtration membrane. In such a case, when patients stop taking medicine or reduce medicine dose, hematuria appears again. Chinese medicine is recommended because effective ingredients in Chinese medicine are proven to be able to repair injured kidney intrinsic cells, regulate immune disorder, promote blood circulation in kidney, and provide kidney cells with necessary nutrients.

Hematuria is just one of the symptoms of IgA Nephropathy. Apart from it, patients also experience many others like proteinuria, tiredness and swelling (edema). By treating these symptoms, illness process can be slowed down, but if we really want to stop them from developing to kidney failure, we must remove the cause of kidney damage. With Chinese medicine like Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy, we can achieve this treatment goal, so after the treatment, not only hematuria, but also other physical discomforts can be stopped successfully.
