GRU Researchers May Found A Way for Kidney Repair

We all know kidney disease progresses as more and more kidney tissures are damaged by inflammation which occurs when immune complexes deposit in kidney. Immune complex is the combination of antigen and antibody, and formed when harmful substances invade our body. Therefore, inflamamtion and immune complex is always associated with abnormal immune system or poor immunity.

Since inflammation is the direct cause of kidney damages, finding a way to block inflammation is very important. Recent reports say Georgia Regents University researchers may have found a way to block kidney-destroying inflammation and help damaged kidney cells recover. Effective blocking of inflammation helps to avoid further kidney damages, which is of great importance to stop kidney disease. However, in serious cases, aside from preventing further kidney damages, repairing kidney damages is also very essential.

We all know kidneys are composed with different renal tissues which play different roles in our daily life. When some kidney tissues are damaged and fail to function properly, our life will be affected. Also, if the damaged kidney tissues can not be repaired timely and effectively, residual kidney tissues have to work more hardly to maintain our normal life. And if this condition lasts for a long time, these residual kidney tissues will be damaged gradually. Therefore, for people with serious kidney problem, repairing kidney damages is very significant.

Researches in Georiga Regents University bring great hope for kidney disease patients and this may indicate kidney disease will not be a life-threatening health tissue in near future.
