Chinese Medicine Treatment For Stage 3 Kidney Disease

Stage 3 kidney disease has moderately reduced GFR and moderate renal damages. It is a crucial period for kidney disease patients. Effective and timely treatment can still reverse renal damages and prevent further progression of illness conditions. However if left untreated or if it is not treated properly or timely, it will progress into stage 4 or even stage 5 which has little chance to be cured.

For stage 3 kidney disease, dialysis and kidney transplant are still too early. Actually western therapies have no satisfying ways to treat patients on this stage except some symptomatic drugs, diets and regular follow-up checks.

Why choose Chinese medicine treatment for third stage renal disease

In this regard, Chinese medicine treatment is a good choice because it can not only alleviate symptoms of stage 3 kidney disease but also can solve the underlying cause of renal disease such as high blood pressure, diabetes, infections so as to repair damaged renal tissues and gradually recover kidney functions and treat the disease from the very root.

What is Chinese medicine treatment and its effects on kidney disease

Chinese medicine treatment is not only about TCM (traditional Chinese medicines) but also include many external applications such as Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy, medicated bath, pedicure, qi gong, tai chi, gua sha, cupping therapy, massage and acupuncture, etc.

Several therapies can be combined according to the patient’s illness and physical conditions such as massage can be combined with medicated bath to relieve skin itching, chronic pain, etc. TCM can be combined with Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy to repair damaged glomerular filtration membrane, improve renal filtration functions so as to alleviate edema, treat proteinuria and hematuria and relieve uremia.

Along with Chinese medicine treatment, a low-protein and low-salt diet can greatly consolidate and improve the curative effects for 3th stage renal disease patients. Limiting protein and salt intake can help control blood pressure and reduce protein leakage in urine so as to slow down illness progression and protect kidney functions.
