Nephrotic Syndrome is a medical condition with several symptoms like proteinuria, swelling, hypoproteinemia and hyperlipemia. Nephrotic Syndrome is marked by massive protein in urine which occurs when glomerular filtration membrane is damaged seriously by inflammatory reaction. In cases of Nephrotic Syndrome, Cellcept can be used to block inflammatory reaction, so this is the reason why your daughter is suggested to take Cellcept. However, as a matter of fact, inflammatory reaction in Nephrotic Syndrome occurs because immune complexes deposit in glomerular basilar membrane. Under such a condition, Cellcept helps to block inflammatory reaction temporarily and as they fail to clear immune complexes away, inflammatory reaction reoccur easily, especially when patients reduce the dose of Cellcept. Therefore, Cellcept is not a long-term solution for your daughter. If you really want to help your daughter to stop Nephrotic Syndrome, you can try
Immunotherapy which is an effective combination of western medicine and estern medicine. Although Nephrotic Syndrome can not be cured through Immunotherapy, symptoms can be controlled fundamentally. What is more, Immunotherapy causes no symptoms.
