Nephritic Syndrome and Nephrotic Syndrome

Nephritic syndrome is a group of symptoms including hematuria, proteinuria, high blood pressure, swelling, etc. Since it has almost the same symptoms as that of nephrotic syndrome, they are often regarded as the same disease. However they are two diseases.

Generally speaking, nephritic syndrome is mainly manifested as blood in urine and other symptoms such as high blood pressure, swelling can be not very obvious. 24-hour urine protein is usually less than 3.5g. While for nephrotic syndrome patients, the main symptom is massive proteinuria (daily protein leakage in urine is more than 3.5g), swelling, hypoalbuminemia, hyperlipidemia, etc.

Therefore it is very necessary to have clear and thorough diagnosis before seeking medical cares and treatment. But one thing is common---glomerular filtration membrane is impaired and renal functions are affected. To seek improvements of the patient’s illness conditions from the root, effective treatment should aim at repairing damaged glomerular basement membrane and enhancing the renal functions.

For nephritic syndrome patients, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is recommended. It can help eliminate blood stasis, promote blood circulation so as to increase blood flow to the kidneys and provide necessary nutritions for repairing damaged renal tissues and regenerating new functioning renal tissues. When the glomerular basement membrane is repaired, red blood cells and proteins will be prevented from leaking into urine any more.

For nephrotic syndrome, the combination of Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy with immunotherapy. This is because nephrotic syndrome patients often have immune disorders and immune dysfunction which often make the disease hard to be cured and easy to relapse. Immunotherapy can help regulate immune disorder and enhance the patient’s immune system functions so as to protect the kidneys from potential damages. Another advantage of immunotherapy is that it consists of exact diagnosis before the treatment. It can help make clear the exact location and severity of renal damages so as to provide guidance for the following medications and treatments and enhance the curative effects.
