Does Frequent Relapse of Nephrotic Syndrome Affect Final Height of Child

A:

Nephrotic Syndrome is very common among children. With steroid treatment, children often have a remission in Nephrotic Syndrome. But a characteristic of Nephrotic Syndrome is frequent relapse. As we all know, long-term use of steroid has many side effects. Growth retardation following steroid treatment in children is a major problem. Some researches show that final height in children with steroid-sensitive Nephrotic Syndrome is slightly affected by steroid treatment. In addition, steroid suppresses immune system, which makes children expose to colds and infections easily.

How to treat Nephrotic Syndrome for children?

For child patients, natural remedies are preferred to steroid in the long run. Here we recommend Traditional Chinese Medicine therapies, which have few side effects.

-Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is a very convenient therapy. When the patients receive treatment, they just lie on the herbal bags. And then the active ingredients can be penetrated into the kidneys through shen shu acupoints.

-Foot Bath is to immerse feet into the water which is diluted by medical soup. The active ingredients of herbs can come into the body through skin pores. And waste can also go out of the body.

-Circle Therapy is to draw circles on the acupoints.

There are also other therapies, such as enema therapy, steam therapy, full bath, moxibustion, etc. Space limited, so we do not explain them one by one.

With the above treatment, the immune complexes can be removed from blood and kidneys so that kidney inflammation will be relieved. This can reduce the relapse frequency. Besides, they can dilate blood vessels, draw out toxins, remove stasis to set up a good blood environment for the kidney self-healing. When the kidneys are repaired, children can live a happy and healthy life. For more information, please leave a message or send emails to kidneycares@hotmail.com.
