How To Get A Therapeutic Effect Of Lupus Nephritis

Lupus Nephritis is a dangerous kidney disease because it is a kind of nephritis caused by systemic lupus erythematosus. What is systemic lupus erythematosus? Simply speaking, it is an autoimmune disease. That is, autoantibody and immune complexes accumulate in the body and cause damages on organs. Lupus nephritis is a kidney damage caused by autoantibody and immune complexes.

1. What are the difficulties in treating lupus nephritis?

The difficulties in the treatment of lupus nephritis include two aspects:

On one hand, there are many toxic and harmful substances in blood.

On the other hand, toxic and harmful substances depositing in kidneys should be cleared away.

2. Western medicines for lupus nephritis

In western medicine field, the remedy to clear away toxic and harmful substances in blood is blood purification technology such as hemodialysis, plasma exchange and hemofiltration. Among these, plasma exchange is commonly used in the treatment of lupus nephritis.

Except for purifying your blood, you also need to use glucocorticoid, cyclophosphamide and other immunosuppressive agents to inhibit the generation of immune complexes. Medications for high blood pressure, blood sugar, controlling heart failure and expanding blood vessels are used together. This forms a western medicine treatment plan for lupus nephritis. The advantage of this therapy is quick effect. Because it focuses on controlling symptoms, various clinical symptoms can get alleviated in a short time. What’s more, plasma exchange can cleanse toxic and harmful substances from blood to reduce further kidney damage.

However, blood purification therapy in western medicine works little for removing immune complexes. In this condition, it is difficult for kidney function to recover.

3. Chinese medicine treatment for lupus nephritis

The prominent characteristic in Chinese medicine is to remove toxic and harmful substances in blood. Western medicine uses machine to replace kidneys while Chinese medicine uses your own kidneys to discharge toxins in blood.

In Shi Jiazhuang kidney Disease Hospital, we create “Remove Toxin In Blood” therapy including oral Chinese medicine, external application, foot bath, medicated bath, circle therapy, moxibustion and enema therapy. This systematic therapy aims to clean your whole body’s blood other than only in kidneys.

Chinese medicine can enhance immunity and recover renal function. After that, it uses kidney’s own function to excrete toxins in your body.

In terms of removing immune complexes, external application of Chinese medicine can come to kidney lesion directly through double shenyu acupoint. By activating microcirculation in kidneys to alleviate renal hypoxia and anoxia state, it can achieve the purpose of removing immune complexes and recover kidney function. Once renal function is improved, it can remove more immune complexes. This is a virtuous circle.
