Immunotherapy Treatment for IgA Nephropathy

Immunotherapy is a new but effective treatment for IgA Nephropathy which is an autoimmune disease and marked by large amounts of IgA immune complexes in mesangial area. In clinical, Immunotherapy is divided into 6 steps to deal with IgA Nephropathy. Now, let’s have a look about the six steps.

Step one: Immune diagnosis. Immune diagnosis is aims at founding out the exact amount of IgA immune complexes and the type of inflammation, which is of great importance for the following prescription.

Step two: Immune blocking. IgA immune complexes in the mesangial area cause inflammation which damage kidney tissues directly. Therefore, blocking inflammation will help to avoid further kidney damages, which can help to bring IgA Nephropathy into control temporarily.

Step three: Immune tolerance. IgA immune complexes deposit in kidney and thus cause inflammation. Therefore, the long-term solution is to remove IgA immune complexes away, otherwise, inflammation appears again when patients reduce medicine dose or stop taking medicines. However, as these depositions can not be removed over night, we need our kidneys to co-exist for a certain time. The third step of Immunotherapy treatment just is aims at achieve this purpose.

Step four: Immune adjustment. In the forth step of Immunotherapy treatment, Chinese medicines are applied to adjust patient’s immune system. Immune complexes is the combination of antigen and antibody. In normal cases, no antigen can invade our body because of our strong immune system. Only when this system is affected, can antigen invade our body and also can immune complexes be formed. Therefore, adjusting impaired immune system is the key point to stop the further formation of IgA immune complexes.

Step five: Clearance of immune complexes. Micro-Chinese Medicine is an external used therapy that works on the basis of Chinese medicines. It can help to remove IgA immune complexes in the blood and also can help to improve immune system. When immune complexes are cleared, no inflammation occurs again.

Step six: Immune protection. IgA Nephropathy is an autoimmune disease, which occurs because of affected immune system. Therefore, to avoid the reoccurrence, protecting immune system is very significant.
