Brand-New Treatment for IgA Nephropathy

Immunotherapy is a new but effective treatment for IgA Nephropathy. We say Immunotherapy is effective, because it treats IgA Nephropathy from the basis.

IgA Nephropathy is an autoimmune disease and marked by great number of IgA immune complexes or IgA antibodies in mesangial area, which can cause inflammation in glomerular filtration membrane. Glomerular filtration membrane display filtration function through charge barrier and mechanical barrier. In cases of IgA Nephropathy, inflammation helps to remove IgA immune complexes in the membrane, however because of abnormal immune system, inflammation may damage our basilar membrane and thus cause kidney damages.

Since IgA Nephropathy is an autoimmune disease, so the treatment should starts from adjusting immune system. Immunotherapy is a combination of Chinese medicines and western medicines and generally divided into 6 steps:

Scientific Diagnosis: This step aims at founding out the amount of IgA immune complexes and the exact inflammation, which is essential for the following prescription.

Immune Blocking: Since inflammation cause kidney damages directly, blocking improper inflammation is very helpful for avoid further kidney damages.

Immune Tolerance: As the immune complexes can not be removed over night, we need our kidney to coexist with them for a while.

Immune Clearance: In this step, Chinese medicines are adopted to help clear immune complexes away. Chinese medicines have history over 5000 years and some of them have been proven to be helpful in clearing harmful substances from the kidney.

Immune Regulation: We know IgA Nephropathy is an autoimmune disease, so regulating immune system is very necessary, otherwise, more and more IgA immune complexes will be formed in the body.

Immune Protection: To avoid the reoccurrence of IgA Nephropathy, we must make some actions to protect our immune system, so that we can avoid the reoccurrence of abnormality of immune system.

Immunotherapy is not a simple medication and it is a systematic treatment method for IgA Nephropathy. It is new, but effective. If you want to learn more about this therapy, welcome to consult our consultant online or leave message to us directly.
