Systemic Lupus erythematosus (SLE, or lupus) is an autoimmune disease. This means there is a problem with the body’s immune system. For lupus nephritis, it is a kidney disorder that is complication of SLE. Dialysis is often used to treat kidney disease. Then is dialysis permanent or temporary solution for lupus nephritis (LN)?
Dialysis is an artificial process of eliminating waste and unwanted water from the blood. However, dialysis does not correct the immune system of failed kidneys-it only replaces some kidney functions, such as waste removal and fluid removal. In this case, dialysis is not a permanent solution for lupus nephritis, but it is still necessary for patients with lupus.
Dialysis can be a temporary solution for lupus.
As mentioned above, lupus nephritis is a kidney disorder. In this case, lupus nephritis patients will have waste and fluid retention in body. We could not live if waste products were not removed from our kidneys. People whose kidneys either do not work properly or not at all experience a buildup of waste in their blood. Without dialysis, the amount of waste products in the blood would increase and eventually reach levels that would lead to coma and death. Dialysis is used to remove toxins and fluid from the blood to make lupus nephritis feel better.
Dialysis can not be a permanent remedy for lupus nephritis.
Immune system helps protect the body from infection or harmful substances. But for patients with an autoimmune diseases, the immune system cannot tell the difference between harmful substances and bad ones. As a result, the immune system attack healthy cells and tissues. To treat lupus, improving or regulating immune system is the key point. However, dialysis can not regulate immune system, so it is not a permanent treatment for lupus nephritis.
