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.
