Can People with ESRD in Membranous Nephropathy Avoid Dialysis

Membranous nephropathy is a kidney disorder with inflammation of nephrons. It is a very difficult to control. Many patients will develop kidney failure eventually and have to start dialysis. However, it is very tough to live on dialysis. Can people with ESRD in membranous nephropathy avoid dialysis?

ESRD in membranous nephropathy

Nephrons are the basic functional units of kidneys and each kidney is composed of around one million nephrons. In right condition, the nephrons can filter out waste products and extra fluid from blood.

However, in membranous nephropathy, the immune system fails to function normally, resulting in a large amount of immune complexes to deposit in kidneys. The immune complexes can cause inflammation in kidneys, resulting in progressive renal function decline. Without effective treatment, the nephrons will become inflamed and scarred. ESRD will be the final result in most cases.

Dialysis for ESRD in membranous nephropathy

Dialysis is also called artificial kidney. It can take over a partial renal function to keep the patients alive. However, it is not a cure for membranous nephropathy. The average life span of dialysis patients is just between 5~6 years.

Can people with ESRD in membranous nephropathy avoid dialysis?

Fortunately, some patients with ESRD in membranous nephropathy can avoid dialysis if an effective treatment is applied. To attain this goal, the patients should have a treatment to restore the impaired nephrons and enhance the function of the native kidneys.

Micro-Chinese Medicines Osmotherapy and Blood Purification are the recommended treatments for the patients. Blood purification can eliminate the pathogenic substances and the metabolic waste products from blood. It can create a clear environment for the application of the osmotherapy. Micro-Chinese Medicines Osmotherapy is an externally applied Chinese herbal medicine. This therapy can improve renal function by restoring the impaired kidney structure. If the function of the native kidneys can be improved, dialysis will not be required at all.
