Treatment for Nephrotic Syndrome with Frequent Relapses

Nephrotic syndrome is not a nonspecific kidney disorder,but a group of symptoms including heavy proteinuria,severe swelling, hyperlipidemia and hypoproteinemia.Frequent relapses of nephrotic syndrome is a big trouble for the patients.What is the treatment for nephrotic syndrome with frequent relapses?

Why does Nephrotic Syndrome relapse frequently?

Nephrotic syndrome can be idiopathic or secondary to other conditions and diseases.However,the general cause of nephrotic syndrome is immunological.It means that the immune system fails to function normally and attacks kidney tissues mistakenly. The abnormal immune response can cause the inflammation in kidneys. If the inflammation can go on,it will impair glomeruli which are filters in kidneys.As a result,a large amount of proteins will leak through glomeruli and end up in urine.

Prednisone is the most commonly used medicines for nephrotic syndrome.It can reduce the permeability of renal blood vessels, thus reducing the leakage of protein in urine.If so,the patients will have a remission.Meanwhile,immunosuppressive drugs can be used to control the inflammatory response in kidneys.

However,the immune dysfunction can not be corrected.When there is trigger like infection,cold,the condition will relapse.

Treatment for nephrotic syndrome with frequent relapses

Immunotherapy is an effective treatment for nephrotic syndrome with frequent relapses.How does it work to treat nephrotic syndrome?

Control inflammation in kidneys

Immunotherapy can suppress the inflammation in kidneys and stop releasing of inflammatory factors from impaired kidney tissues.Therefore,it can stop further immune damage to kidney tissues and cells.

Correct immune dysfunction

Immunotherapy can correct the immune dysfunction and help the body rebuild normal immune system. The immune system will return to protect body instead of to attack kidney tissues and cells.

Restore glomeruli

Immunotherapy can retrieve the self-healing ability of the body. When the impaired kidney tissues can be restored,the glomeruli will return to function normally. The glomeruli will be return to prevent the leakage of protein as before. If so, nephrotic syndrome will be controlled fundamentally.

Immunotherapy can treat nephrotic syndrome fundamentally. Thereby, the frequent relapses will be prevented completely.
