Patient Word:

Xiao Fang is only 36 years old but she is diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). She takes steroid remedy for a long time but this does not stop the progression of lupus nephritis. What’s worse, secondary hyperuricemia occurs. Kidney function declines suddenly, serum creatinine level increases to 1836umol/L and urea nitrogen amounts to 49.1mmol/L. She is diagnosed in uremia stage.

Her husband has took her visiting many hospital but there is no any progress. Her kidney function keeps decline and serum creatinine level increases to 1710umol/L. The doctor recommends her to take dialysis.

They are unwilling to accept dialysis so they continue to look for right hospital.

When she comes to our hospital-Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital, her serum creatinine increases to 1836umol/L and her stroke is also worsened. But they do not give up the hope.

Xiao fang has suffered from lupus nephritis for more than 10 years and she has been using steroids to control her condition, which is the important factor for kidney failure. Stroke is only a complication of kidney function damage. Therefore, doctors focus on recovering kidney function.

In lupus nephritis, since it is an autoimmune system disorder, it causes a lot of immune complexes depositing in kidneys, causing kidney damage. The key treatment for lupus nephritis should remove immune complexes in blood and kidneys.

Her local doctor recommends her to take dialysis which also works for removing immune complexes. However, as for lupus nephritis, dialysis is not the best option. The best solution is plasma exchange. Plasma exchange can only remove immune complexes in blood while immune complexes in kidneys should be removed by other remedies.

Chinese medicine is able to achieve that goal. On the basis of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), we create a systemic remedies to cleanse toxins in blood.

As long as lupus nephritis is treated by formal remedies, it will be alleviated certainly. With the recover of her kidney function, her pain is disappearing gradually and she has more energy as well.
