Cyclosporine in Nephrotic Syndrome Treatment

Cyclosporine is commonly used to treat nephrotic syndrome.It can relieve symptoms to slow down renal function decline. However, the patients will experience a host of adverse effects.

How does cyclosporine work in treating nephrotic syndrome?

Nephrotic Syndrome is an immune medicated kidney disorder. Immune system is a powerful protective system and can protect the body against outside harmful substances.However,in some cases, the immune system fails to function properly and attacks the kidney tissues mistakenly.The abnormal activity of immune system can cause inflammation of kidneys.If left untreated,the inflammation can impair glomeruli in kidneys.A large amount of protein will leak into urine through glomeruli,thus leading to nephrotic syndrome.

Cyclosporine can suppress the activity of immune system to prevent the inflammation in kidneys.It can relieve the protein in urine effectively.However,it also can decrease the function of normal immune system.Taking cyclosporine may increase the risk of developing an infection or cancer, especially lymphoma or skin cancer.This risk may be higher if a person take cyclosporine with other medications that decrease the functioning of the immune system.For the huge adverse effects of cyclosporine, the patients with nephrotic syndrome are eager to find an alternative treatment.Micro-Chinese Medicines Osmotherapy is an effective treatment for nephrotic syndrome.

Micro-Chinese Medicines Osmotherapy for nephrotic syndrome

Micro-Chinese Medicines Osmotherapy is a plant-based therapy in which various types of Chinese herbs are applied in it based on a patient’s illness condition.As no chemical drugs are applied in the therapy,it is free of adverse effects on body.

On one hand,the Chinese medicines can inhibit the inflammation in kidneys and stop the releasing of inflammatory factors in body.Hence,it can stop more immune damage to kidney tissues and cells.

On the other hand,micro-Chinese medicines can stimulate the self-repairing and self-regenerating of impaired kidney tissues and cells. When impaired kidney structure is restored, the kidneys will return to function better. Nephrotic syndrome will be controlled fundamentally so cyclosporine will not be required at all.
