Can Hepatitis B Virus (HBV)-associated Kidney Disease Take Hormones

Hepatitis B Virus (HBV)-associated kidney disease is a secondary to hepatitis B virus. It is a very complex condition to deal with. Can patients with the disease take hormones?

Generally, hormones are not recommended to patients with hepatitis HBV-associated kidney disease. On one hand, membranous nephropathy and mesangial capillary nephritis are the major pathological types of HBV-associated kidney disease. These two types of pathological types are not sensitive to hormone therapy. On the other hand, hormones can postpone the production of antibodies and promote the duplication of HBV to aggravate disease condition.As hormones are not recommended to patients with HBV-associated kidney disease, is there any other treatment option?

To learn what the effective treatment for HBV-associated kidney disease, it is necessary to know how kidney damage occurs in hepatitis B.

HBV-associated kidney disease occurs when HBV antigens and antibodies immune complexes deposit in kidneys and cause inflammatory response in kidneys. Hormones can supress the inflammatory, but they are far more enough. If the immune complexes can not be eliminated and new immune complexes form again,the abnormal inflammatory response in kidneys will relapse frequently.

To treat membranous nephropathy completely,the treatment should be able to suppress the inflammatory response in kidneys,remove the immune complexes in kidneys and stop immune complexes to produce again.

Western medicines alone can not attain the above treatment goals.The combined application of western medicines and Chinese medicine can result in a better treatment effect.

Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy and immunotherapy are recommended to the patients with membranous nephropathy.Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can degrade the deposited immune complexes in blood.Then the immune complexes will be filtered by kidneys.Immunotherapy can correct the immune dysfunction and rebuild normal immune system. Therefore, no more immune complexes will form.

If HBV-assocaited kidney disease can be treated fundamentally,no more hormones will be needed. For more information about the treatment, you can email to kidneycares@hotmail.com.
