I am living with Lupus Kidney Disease. What effective therapeutic measures
should we take? I am in hormone, but some doctors say that it has side effects.
My protein in urine is ++.
Just as you say, in many countries, hormone is widely applied to treat Lupus
Kidney Disease, which is also accompanied by immunosuppressive agent. However,
they can just make the symptoms disappear for the time being, which is not
complete and systematic.
Lupus Nephritis (Lupus Kidney Disease) is an autoimmune kidney damage, which
is caused by the deposition of immune complex in the kidney. The pathological
lesion is mainly in renal glomerular disease, which is also often seen in renal
tubules and renal mesenchyme. Patients with Lupus Nephritis have red blood
cells, white blood cells and protein in urine.
On the basis of the above, specialists created immunotherapy, which is
systematic based on the mechanism of Lupus Kidney Disease. It is generally
divided into six steps: immune diagnosis, immune clearance, immune inhibit,
immune tolerance, immune adjustment and immune protection. Immune diagnosis can
help us diagnose how much amount of the immune complex, which can supply clue
and evidence for the treatment schedule of doctors in clinic.
In immune clearance, blood purifications are applied, especially plasma
exchange, which can effectively clear away the immune complex which exists in
the blood, thus reducing damage to the cells and reliving the symptoms such as
hematuria and proteinuria and so on. However, as we mentioned, there is still
immune complex which deposits on the kidney. What shall we do to clear it
away?
In immune adjustment, Chinese Medicine and other medicine which can also
benefit Qi (Chinese medical term) and nourish blood, which can also help clear
away the immune complex which deposits on to the kidney, thus treating kidney
disease fundamentally. Last but not least, such Chinese medicine can also
increase the immunity of patients with kidney disease, which can prevent the
recurrence of kidney disease from root.

Stage 4 Kidney Disease, GFR 24
My husband has a GFR of 24, he is at Stage 4 kidney disease. He has FSGS, he
is now starting to experience some symptoms such as the chills, weight loss, bad
mouth taste and odor and some heartburn and loose bowels. The nephrologist says
he will need a transplant in a few years. He is only 42 years old. He is on
Coreg, ProCardia, Avapro, Torsemide, Uloric, and Lipitor. Are all these symptoms
part of the renal failure and do you agree that he will need a transplant
soon?
This is one of my patients’ concern. My answer is as follows:
Dear sir, please do not worry. I will explain it for you in detail.
Firstly, kidney transplant can really solve the kidney disease problem for the time being. However, if we have another choice, we should consider for kidney transplant has many advantages. 1. The donated kidney is hard to find and even if we had a donated kidney, we should consider whether it matches the patients who are ready to take kidney transplant. 2. Kidney transplant has risk, which is known to all of us. 3. The life expectancy of transplanted kidney is also limited. Some years later, the transplanted kidney will also fail to work and we should find another kidney or another therapy.
Secondly, considering the effects of kidney transplantation, we would like to introduce a new therapy: immunotherapy, which is on the basis that FSGS is caused by immune disorder.
When FSGS patients are in stage 4 and GFR has decreased to 24, we still have hope to recover. In immunotherapy, the first treatment step is immune clearance, through which, a lot of immune complex is cleared away. The methods are such as blood dialysis, blood filtration, plasma exchange, etc. The second treatment step is immune adjustment and immune protection, in which, we have both Chinese medicine and western medicine. For example, Chinese Medicine can help create a clean environment, repair the damaged intrinsic cells at the same time. In addition, stem cell is applied, which can differentiate into intrinsic cells and rebuild renal structure.

Early Stage Symptoms of CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease)
CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease) is a general term of kinds of kidney disease in
clinic. Most primary kidney disease, secondary kidney disease can be classified
into CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease). What are the early stage symptoms of CKD
(Chronic Kidney Disease)?
Because of the compensation ability of kidney, it doesn’t show any symptoms at the early stage most of time. About more than 60% of them have developed into renal insufficiency stage when they are diagnosed with kidney disease, which makes it difficult to treat kidney disease. So it is quite necessary to know about the early stage symptoms of CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease) so as to get a timely treatment. The detailed symptoms for each kind of kidney disease go as follows:
1. chronic nephritis
The early symptoms for chronic nephritis are proteinuria, edema, with or without hematuria.
2. pyelonephritis
The early symptoms for pyelonephritis are frequent micturition, urgent urination, odynuria, together with increased body temperature, increased red blood cells, and so on.
3. nephrotic syndrome
The common symptoms for nephrotic syndrome are systematic edema, a large amount of proteinuria, etc.
4. IgA nephritis
The early symptoms for IgA nephritis is that after infection of upper respiratory tract, it shows asymptomatic hematuria, proteinuria, which are often seen among children and youngsters.
5. lupus nephritis
The early symptoms for lupus nephritis are weakness, fatigue, decreased weight, rash, fever, hair loss, arthralgia, etc, which are often seen among young women.
6. purpura nephritis
The early symptoms for purpura nephritis is that one to three months before it occurs, patients with purpura nephritis will have discomfort in the whole body, weakness, fever, declined appetite, and then appears purpura in skin, which is companied by arthralgia, stomachache, hematuria, and so on. Afterwards, protein in urea, red blood cells in urine, systematic edema will appear, which are often seen in youngsters and children.
7. PKD(polycystic kidney disease)
As a kind of genetic kidney disease, at the early stage, the main symptoms are pain in the back or waist, which will become sharper after strenuous work. At the same time, hematuria can also appear. Patients can touch the swelling object, which is the swelling kidney. In addition, PKD(polycystic kidney disease) patients often have high blood pressure and pain in the head.
From the above, we can get a conclusion that most of kidney disease has nearly the same symptoms such as edema, proteinuria, hematuria, etc. As long as patients find out they have got kidney disease, it has developed into renal failure. So people are suggested to have a physical examination every year. On the other hand, as soon as people are diagnosed with kidney disease, they should receive treatment as early as possible so as not to loose the best opportunity.

How to Treat Nausea and Vomiting in Stage 3 Renal Failure
Renal failure, as its name implies, means kidney fails to work such as
secrete, filtrate, etc, which will lead to a series of complications such as
symptoms in digestive system such as nausea and vomiting. In this stage, some
renal failure patients lost confidence for they are under dialysis. Actually, as
long as effective medicine and therapy are applied, people can get rid of
dialysis and discomfort such as nausea and vomiting can disappear for only
dialysis and pure hormone and immunosuppressive agent can not repair the damaged
intrinsic cells in the kidney, thus treating stage 3 renal failure
fundamentally. Making full use of Chinese medicine and western medicine therapy,
stage 3 renal failure can be relieved maximally. On the basis of this, Chinese
Medicine and stem cell are applied, the combination of which can relieve nausea
and vomiting for stage 3 kidney failure patients.
The Chinese Medicine is the characteristic therapy of our hospital. The main content is the Chinese medicine. But this is different from the common and traditional Chinese medicine. This therapy is based on the Li Shizhen’s (a famous medical scientist of Ming Dynasty in China) patrimonial prescriptions for the kidney disease, we take advantage of the most advanced technology in the world to make the traditional Chinese medicine micro-processed into ultra micro powder, by which the active substance in the medicine can be activated and the effects of the medicine can be improved greatly.
The main function mechanism of Chinese medicine is as follows: by blood vessels expanding, anti inflammation, anticoagulation, anti blood viscidity and fibrosis substance degradation, achieve the goal of blocking the process of renal fibrosis. After this, symptoms such as nausea and vomiting can also be relieved for after blood circulation is promoted, damaged intrinsic cells are damaged.
However, in renal failure stage 3, due to long time insufficiency of blood and oxygen in the blood, there are necrotic cells. Stem cell can solve this problem.
In our kidney disease hospital, stem cells also have several kinds, we will choose proper stem cells for you according to your condition. Stem Cell Transplant refers to intravenously transfuse stem cells into patients' body from the arm, it's not surgery, and it won't cause any side effects and won't cause any rejection response. After entering into your sister’s body, under the homing function, stem cells will go to the lesions automatically. Some of stem cells go to the kidneys, to differentiate into related cells to replace those necrotic ones.
Stem cells just like “seed”, and Chinese medicine purifies the internal environment, and stem cells will grow better in the “fertile lands”. The joint application of Stem Cell Transplant and Chinese Medicine can treat nausea and vomiting from root.

How Chinese Medicine and Stem Cell Treat Kidney Disease
Patients with kidney disease want to search a combination therapy of both
western medicine and herbs for they want to avoid side effects as well as
treating kidney disease fundamentally. Considering these, Chinese Medicine and
stem cell therapy is researched, the pathological mechanism goes as follows:
Chinese Medicine has the curative effect for kidney disease, which can treat the kidney disease from root. (1)Chinese Medicine is abstracted from Chinese herbs, without any side-effect. (2) With the help of penetrant and osmosis devices, effective Chinese Medicine is penetrated into renal lesion by external application. (As we know, any oral taking medicines will affect kidney more or less). (3) The therapeutic mechanism of this therapy is to block the process of renal fibrosis, dilate blood vessels, promote the micro-blood circulation, repair the damaged renal intrinsic cells, and remove the stasis in channels. At the same time, Chinese Medicine has the effect like anti-inflammation, anti-coagulation, preventing blood viscosity and degrading extracellular matrixes. The main function of Chinese Medicine is to repair the damaged intrinsic cells in the kidney.
Stem Cells Transplant is a brand new method in our hospital. Stem cells have the ability of self-renewal and multi-replication, they can differentiate into various kinds of renal cells which the kidney need, and then the new born cells can replace the necrotic cells, thus achieving the purpose of rebuilding the renal structure. Stem Cells Transplant as an advanced treatment in medicine, which have the greatly improved the treatment effect of kidney disease. Chinese experts have accumulated a lot of experiences in this field because of enough sources.
The combination point of Chinese Medicine and stem cell therapy is that Chinese Medicine can improve the micro-blood circulation, which can create a cleaner inner environment for the treatment of stem cell.

How to Treat Stage 3 Kidney Disease
How to treat stage 3 kidney disease? It is really a critical stage. If
treated well, kidney disease can be reversed. If not, it is difficult to
recover. Why? Let’s explain it in detail.
According to GFR, which is short for glomerular filtration rate, Chronic Kidney Disease can be divided into 5 stages. It is applied all around the world in most of te countries. GFR indicates the blood flow in the kidney, which is even more accurate than serum creatinine for creatinine is influenced by many factors such as diet and exercise. The normal range of GFR is 80 to 120 ml/min. In the third stage, GFR falls to 30~59 ml/min. Serum creatinine in stage 3 is 186-442umol/l.
Besides these, chronic kidney disease patients also have other symptoms in stage 3 such as fatigue, poor appetite, slight anemia. Patients can also suffer from high blood pressure, the less absorption of calcium, etc.
In this stage, we both use herbs medicines such as Chinese Medicine and stem cell in our Hospital. In stage 3 of chronic kidney disease, there must be damaged renal intrinsic cells and necrotic renal intrinsic cells. Chinese Medicine is used to firstly create a favorable environment by dilating blood vessels, anti-inflammatory, anti-coagulation and degradation of the immune complex. Then, it contains active herbs, which can improve the blood circulation, including micro-blood circulation and dissolve the blood stasis, which can repair the damaged intrinsic cells. In addition, the immune complex can be discharged out, and the immune system can be repaired as well.
As we mentioned above, in stage 3, there must some necrotic cells in the kidney. In this case, we should use stem cell. 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.
The combination of stem cell and Chinese Medicine can help patients with stage 3 kidney disease recover.

Can We Avoid Glomerulonephritis with Massage?
Can massage help us avoid glomerulonephritis? It is said that massage can
relieve the symptoms. Is it true? In some degree, massage can really relieve the
symptoms actually. Why?
To explain it, firstly, we should understand the factors which can cause glomerulonephritis. One we must mention here is overstrain or fatigue. When people can not have enough rest or be too tired every day, the glomeruli in the kidney will also do more work and get tired after a long time because there appears insufficiency of blood and oxygen. In this case, the normal glomeruli will do more work to replace the damaged one. After a long time, vicious circles take place and glomerulonephritis happen.
To remit, patients with glomerulonephritis need more rest, which can make the whole body relaxed including renal glomeruli. Massage is also a good way to help the intrinsic cells in the whole system relaxed for it can promote the blood circulation, thus improving the micro-circulation at the same time. After this, some damaged intrinsic cells can turn normal.
However, massage after all is just a kind of natural treatment. If the damage that glomerulonephritis causes is serious, only massage is not enough. We need to apply medicines. As we mentioned in the other articles, most chronic kidney disease is caused by the immune disorder in human immune system. So the treatment in our hospital is mainly aimed at the immune. Generally, the immunotherapy in our hospital can be divided into 6 steps: scientific diagnosis, immune inhibition, immune tolerance, immune adjustment, immune protection and immune clearance.
