Natural Treatment For Kidney Failure From Lupus Nephritis

“My brother is 33 years old and in kidney failure due to Lupus Nephritis. He is supposed to go to dialysis 3 times a week but he has not went in 3 weeks. Do you have natural treatment for kidney failure from Lupus Nephritis?”. This question is a question from our online service. In the following, our hospital-Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital will tell you the natural treatment for kidney failure.

1. What is Lupus Nephritis?

Lupus Nephritis is an autoimmune disease-a disorder in which the body’s immune system attacks the body’s own cells and organs. Autoantibodies direct themselves against nuclear elements. The characteristics of nephritogenic autoantibodies are antigen specificity directed at nucleosome, high affinity autoantibodies from intravascular immune complexes, and autoantibodies of certain isotypes activate complement. Immune complex is the combination of antigen and antibody. When they deposit in kidney, they will cause inflammatory response which is the direct cause for kidney damage. Thus, the treatment should aim to discharge immune complexes out of the kidneys. Only in this way can further kidney damage be stopped and renal function be improved.

2. What is the treatment for Lupus Nephritis?

In western medicine, there is no medicine that can remove immune complexes out of your body. Western medicines only control symptoms effectively such as blood in urine and protein in urine. However, as long as immune complexes are still in your body, you will experience frequent relapse and declined kidney function.

To avoid the disadvantage of western medicines, our hospital-Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital creates an effective treatment called Immunotherapy which is a combination of western medicines and Chinese medicines. There are six steps in Immunotherapy including Immune Diagnosis, Immune Blocking, Immune Clearance, Immune Tolerance, Immune Regulation and Immune Protection.

Each step has its own function. The following will introduce them to you in detail.

Immune Diagnosis

This step is to figure out where the immune complexes deposits exactly, the amount of immune complexes and the exact type of immune response.

Immune Clearance

This step is to remove immune complexes out of your body with different Blood Purification methods such as Plasma Exchange, Immune adsorption and hemofiltration. Immune clearance helps avoid intense inflammatory response by preventing more immune complexes depositing in kidneys.

Immune blocking

Doctors will prescribe you different types of immunosuppressive medicines to block inflammatory response and this can prevent further kidney damage.

Immune tolerance

It is impossible to remove immune complexes away over night. We need kidneys to stay with immune complexes from time to time. Thus, regular application of immunosuppressant agents are necessary.

Immune regulation

Chinese medicines are used to regulate your immune system so as to achieve the purpose of bring abnormal immune system back to normal.

Immune Protection

Immune protection is to nourish qi and blood to rebuild the intrinsic immune system. This can also improve your renal function to some extent.

With Immunotherapy, Lupus Nephritis can be treated from the root. It is possible for you to avoid dialysis with our Immunotherapy. Kidney failure can be prevented naturally.
