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
● Constant fatigue
● Blood clotting problems
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
● Immunotherapy
● Immune clearance: immunosorption, plasmapheresis and blood purification
Features
● No toxin or side effects-natural treatments.
● Prevention of recurrence-eliminate various symptoms and treat the disease
from the root.
● Life quality improved-immunotherapy can enhance the body’s immune system
and help to restore the immune function and improve the life quality.
