FSGS Kidney Disease, or Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis, is a kind of
autoimmune disease. In this disease, the 'glomeruli', the tiny structures which
filter the blood, become sclerosed. The general cause is immunological, which
means immune dysfunction. Is there any effective therapy to rectify the immune
dysfunction?
Nearly 95% of kidneys diseases occur due to abnormal immune system and low
immune ability. In this case, the harmful foreign substances cannot be removed
after they invade into our body. After combining with antibodies produced by the
immune system, immune complex can be formed, which will circulate in the blood
and then get deposited in the epithelia of glomeruli. With gradual accumulation
of immune complex, our kidneys are damaged. Both the onset and progression of
FSGS kidney disease are quick, and many patients will lead to Renal Failure
during some years.
In 2012, the latest treatment for FSGS kidney disease is Immunotherapy. This
systemic treatment include 6 steps, and several of them can be selected
according to your individual illness.
1. An accurate diagnosis. Our hospital has brought the most advanced
diagnostic technology and techniques, so we can make a systemic and
comprehensive diagnosis of your current condition, and then adopt individual
treatment.
2. Immune blocking. Deposits of immune complex will cause series of excess
immune reaction, so in this step, exact dose of brand new immunosuppressive
agents are used to inhibit the undue inflammation rapidly with no side
effects.
3. Immune tolerance. So far, there is no effective medicines that can
eliminate the immune complexes. It is necessary to make our body to co-exist
with them temporarily with no further inflammatory response.
4. Immune regulation. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is utilised to
promote the blood circulation, degrade the immune complex, and then remove them
out the body. Moreover, Chinese prescription can be taken to improve the overall
immunity.
5. Immune protection. Integrated Chinese - western medicines including
glucocorticoid, orally taking Chinese medicine, and Immunotherapy are applied to
repair the damaged kidneys and recover the renal functions.
6. Immune clearance. Advanced techniques such as immunoadsorption, plasma
exchange and blood purification can help us eliminate the harmful substances in
the blood completely.
