FSGS after Kidney Transplant, on Dialysis now

Patients: Doctor. I have FSGS. One year ago, I received kidney transplant. But now I am on dialysis. Can I stop dialysis?
Doctor: What level is your serum creatinine now and how many times do you take dialysis?
Patients: I received haemodialysis twice a week and my creatinine is 400 now.
Doctor: How long do you receive dialysis after the kidney transplant?
Patients: For three months.
Doctor: OK. Do you have any symptoms or discomfort?
Patients: No obvious symptoms.
Doctor: Sir. Firstly, I would like to tell you that your transplanted kidney can still receive treatment as your front kidney. Secondly, your dialysis time is not long, which is also good for the treatment. Do you test your GFR recently?
Patients: OK.
Doctor: How about the amount of urine every day?
Patients: About 400ml.
Doctor: You should be confident for urine stands for hope. As long as there is urine, it means that there is blood which flows through kidney. In this case, we can use medicine to treat.
Patients: What about the treatment in your hospital?
Doctor: Firstly, Chinese Medicine and secondly, stem cell transplant, which can also be accompanied by some western medicine if necessary.
Chinese Medicine is abstracted from natural herbs, which contains active and nutritious materials and can relieve the insufficiency of blood and oxygen in the kidney and repair the damaged intrinsic cells, thus rebuilding the renal structure to some extent.
Stem cell transplant can also be used to differentiate into necrotic cells. As we know, when patients are in FSGS stage, there must be necrotic cells in the kidney.
After the combination of stem cell transplant and Chinese Medicine, the dialysis frequency can reduce. With time passing by, you can stop dialysis.
Patients: Thank you, doctor.
