Treatment to Reserve Residual Kidney Function with IgA Nephropathy

Treatment is needed for IgA Nephropathy patients to reverse the residual kidney function if they want to live far away from dialysis and kidney transplant. In IgA Nephropathy, kidney damages are caused by the abnormal inflammation which occurs because of IgA deposition in mesangial area. Immunosuppressive treatment is usually given to help IgA Nephropathy patients to block inflammation and avoid further kidney damages. However, these immunosuppressive agents affect immune system and impair immunity. Long-term taking of them will cause many unnecessary health tissues. What's more, these medications can not help to reserve residual kidney function.

Clinic stastistics show in about 50% of cases IgA Nephropathy progresses to end stage renal disease often over 20 to 25 years of observation. Therefore, protecting the residual kidney function from being affected is the only solution for these IgA Nephropathy patients to avoid kidney failure. Well, is there a treatment that can help to reserve residual kidney function?

In IgA Nephropathy, kidney tissues are damaged because of inflammation which occurs because of IgA deposition in mesangial area. Although immunosuppressive treatment can help to block inflammation and avoid kidney damages, treatment effects are temporary as IgA deposition are not removed at all. As long as they exist in kidney, inflammation occurs someday and illness condition relapses. On the basis of this point, clearing IgA deposition away from the kidney is essential.

In Clinic, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can be used to deal with IgA deposition in kidney. This treatment is based on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) which has existed for thousands of years. Chinese herbs used in micro-Chinese medicines are selected carefully and they are have been proven to have function to strengthen immune system and improve blood circulation. When blood circulation gets improved, IgA deposition in kidney can be sucked away by the fast blood flow. IgA is an antibody of our body and IgA deposition are formed only when immune system is weak enough to allow antigen invade our body. Micro-Chinese medicines can help to strengthen immune system, which can prevent the formation of new IgA deposition. In this way, new kidney damages are prevented radically.

Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is not the only treatment option for IgA Nephropathy patients, but it is the one which can help to reserve residual kidney function without causing any side effects.
