About Membranous Nephropathy

Membranous Nephropathy refers to a kind of kidney disorder marked by large amounts of immune complexes depositing in epithelium of glomerular capillary loops. This disease tends to appear in people with age over 40. According to studies, most of the Membranous Nephropathy patients have symptoms of Nephrotic Syndrome and about 20% patients have no symptoms or just have proteinuria which is caused by other reasons, not kidney damages.

Compared with female, male is more likely to develop Membranous Nephropathy. According to statistics, about 17% to 50% adult patients have elevated blood pressure when they are diagnosed with this Membranous Nephropathy. Usually, with high blood pressure, patients alway have poor prognosis. Apart from high blood pressure, the prognosis of Membranous Nephropathy has close relationship with the duration of proteinuria and the severity of proteinuria. Moreover, for Membranous Nephropathy patients with symptoms of Nephrotic Syndrome, they have 40% possibility to suffer from phlehothromnosis.

With Membranous Nephropathy, we need to control our blood pressure under 125/70mmHg, which is helpful for us to stop the progression of kidney damages. In our daily diet, foods with high protein and high salt also need to be avoided, because these foods can accelerate kidney damages. Generally speaking, the protein intake should be limited in 0.8g/(kg·d).

Occurrence of Membranous Nephropathy is related with our immune system, so while we treat it, we need to start from our immune system. Immunotherapy is the latest meical treatment and it treats Membranous nephropathy through adjusting our self-curative ability. Through Immunotherapy, immune complexes depositing in kidneys can be cleared effectively. We know kidney damages occurs when immune complexes deposit in our kidney, so when they are removed completely, further kidney damages are avoided.

Immunotherapy treats Membranous Nephropathy fundamentally, and what is more, no side effects are caused during the whole treatment course, so we need not to worry about anything. Membranous Nephropathy can be brought under control effectively if timely treatment is given, os if you want to know more about its treatment, welcome to consult us.
