Lupus is an autoimmune disease and immune complex deposition on kidney leads
to kidney damage. Kidney damage will seduce excessive immune response within
kidney itself, which causes pathological changes and excessive producing of
extracellular matrix. The above procedure finally leads to glomerular sclerosis
and kidney fibrosis.
Routine treatments focus on alleviating the excessive immune response within
kidney by immunosuppressive medicines. But that is not enough. Treating Lupus
Nephritis, two aspects should be achieved at the same time. One is reducing
lupus factor within blood and rectify dysfunction in immunity, and the second
one is to promote overall kidney function.
So, We mainly adopt the Chinese Medicine, immunoadsorption technics, stem
cell therapy and T-reg cell therapy which are based on patient's specific
condition. First, immunoadsorption technics and Chinese herbal medicine are used
to clear away lupus factor in blood, the herbal osmotherapy promotes blood
supply to kidney cells and degrades matrixes to create a good environment for
damaged cells' self-repairing. Secondly, T-reg therapy is immune rectifying
therapy and it mainly focus on rectifying the disorder in immunity. Stem cells
can differentiate into kidney functional cells. Stem cells are initial cells
with strong self-renewing and multi-differentiation abilities. They are infused
into human body through intravenous injection, and then stem cells will transfer
into the kidney lesions by auto-homing function. Stem cells can adjust the
immune disorder by repairing the damaged glomeruli and by generating into new
renal intrinsic cells to replace the scarred ones.
Stem cell therapy is especially suitable for those autoimmune diseases such
as lupus nephritis.
