Steroids and Lupus Nephritis

Lupus Nephritis, which can also be called systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), is a kind of autoimmune disease, which comes into being when the body resists against the virus and bacteria from invading. At present, doctors can not make sure the fundamental cause of it, but we clearly know that once there is something wrong in the immune system, symptoms will appear such as fever, pain in joint, and so on, which also includes the damage in the kidney. It is estimated that the death rate of Lupus Nephritis(SLE)is also high. In 1960s, the survival rate is only 20%. With the development of medical field, steroid, a kind of hormone is used in clinic, which decreases the death rate year by year. It is reported that in 1970s, the survival rate rises as high as 57%. In 1990s, the survival rate is as high as 75%, and at present, the survival rate rises as high as 90% to 95%. So we can get a conclusion that choosing proper medicine is very important. Steroids has become priority in some countries.
Steroids can inhibit the immune response at a rapid speed and can also reduce the damage which is caused by inflammatory materials which is relieved in the immune response. Such immune inhibition is a protection to the organic body. However, large dose of application will also lead to side effects. After all, in some cases, patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) should receive large dose of steroid especially when it recurs. So how to avoid this?
In our hospital, on the basis of this, we have researched out a brand new therapy which is called Immunotherapy, to achieve the above mentioned effect and also decrease the side effect maximally. That’s because Immunotherapy contains Chinese Medicine, which contains active herbs, which can both promote the blood circulation, repair the damaged intrinsic cells and increase the immunity of the human body. Just as we mentioned in the above, Lupus Nephritis is an autoimmune disease.
Now Immunotherapy is widely applied in our hospital, which also proves its effects. If you have any further interest in it, please consult us online or email us.
