People with Nephrotic Syndrome should protect themselves from being attacked
by a cold, as it will worsen the illness condition. Then, how to stop cold from
affecting NS?
In general, a person with NS has relatively lower immune ability, so he may
catch a cold easily. Therefore, the most important precaution in to improve the
overall immunity from the following aspects.
1. Eat less or no medications including immune agents and cytotoxic
medications.
People who take these medicines in the long run will be affected by a cold
easily due to decreased immune ability. So patients are recommended to reduce
the intake or avoid the use of these medicines.
2. Improve the body's overall immune ability with combined Chinese - Western
medicine.
NS is a kind of autoimmune disease which occurs as a result of abnormal
immune system or immune dysfunction. In this case, germs like virus or bacteria
will invade into the body, and then combine with antibodies produced by the
immune system, forming immune complexes. More and more depositions of immune
complex will accumulate in the kidneys. In order to remove these substances,
there are excessive immune reaction within the body, causing damages to the
renal intrinsic cells and tissues.
At present, the latest therapy for enhancing the immunity of NS is
Immunotherapy. This is a systemic treatment which aims at treat kidney disease
from the perspective of immune regulation.
There are altogether six steps contained in Immunotherapy: an accurate
diagnosis, immune blocking, immune tolerance, immune regulation, immune
protection, and immune clearance. Specific steps are adopted according to
individual illness conditions.
The whole process involves many advanced treatments such as Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotehrapy and Immunotherapy. The former can provide a favorable
environment for kidney repair, and the latter is applied to restore the kidney
function and rebuild the immune system. Once patient's immunity is enhanced,
patients can protect themselves from being affected by a cold so as to stop
further deterioration.
