Nephrotic Syndrome: Causes, Symptoms, Treatment

Nephrotic Syndrome (NS) refers to a number of signs and symptoms resulting from damages to the tiny blood vessels (glomeruli) of the kidneys. This condition allows protein (normally never passed out into the urine) to leave the body in large amounts. A number of different kidney disorders are associated with Nephrotic Syndrome, including: Minimal Change Disease (MCD), FSGS, Membranous Nephropathy, Memebranoproliferative glomerulonephritis, etc.

Causes

Nephrotic Syndrome is an autoimmune disease. Our immune system is constituted of the innate immune system and the back-up immune system. When the innate immune system fails to fight against the intrusion of pathogenic substances, the back-up system will be activated. After the intrusion is removed, the back-up system will stop working and the innate immune system work alone.

However, if the innate immune system has some disorders, it may continue sending signals to the back-up system, and the back-up system cannot stop working, there will be excessive immune reaction. The immune complex will deposit on the kidneys, so the immune reaction will continue in the kidneys and cause damage to our healthy kidney cells. That's why people have Nephrotic Syndrome.

Symptoms

● Swelling (edema)
● Foamy, or bubbly urine
● Weight gain
● Lack of appetite

Treatment

Treatment of Nephrotic Syndrome depends on the underlying disorder. Medications like steroids are often used to dampen down the immune system. Specific medications are taken by patients to control high blood pressure and decrease swelling.

In Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital, immunotherapy is used to treat Nephrotic Syndrome from the root. This therapy may consist of:

● Brand new immunosuppressants

Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy
