Getting Ready for Dialysis in IgA Nephropathy

As we know, as long as kidney disease patients’ serum creatinine rises to as high as 450umol/L, they are suggested or asked by their doctors to take dialysis for creatinine is toxins which will do harm to the kidney if it stays in the body for a long time. The same goes for those with IgA Nephropathy. Here, we would like to introduce IgA Nephropathy patients who are ready to take dialysis.
Firstly, there is no doubt that haemodialysis is essential or necessary, which can help clear away the toxins such as creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, and immune complex, thus reducing the damage caused by excessive immune response.
Secondly, as we mentioned before, Primary IgA nephropathy is characterized by deposition of the IgA antibody in the glomerulus. There are other diseases associated with glomerular IgA deposits, the most common being Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP), which is considered by many to be a systemic form of IgA nephropathy. So we should also increase the immunity as well as clear away the immune complex and toxins in the blood through haemodialysis. So how to increase the immunity becomes the focus of IgA nephropathy treatment. To meet this, immunotherapy is created, which is a combination therapy of both western medicine and Chinese traditional medicine, the former of which mainly refers to stem cell transplant and the latter of which is mainly regarding Chinese Medicine. Both of them can increase the immunity in the immune protection stage for the whole immunotherapy can be divided into 6 steps, which are systematic diagnosis, immune clearance, immune inhibition, immune tolerance, immune adjustment and immune protection.
In immune protection period, patients with kidney disease will take stem cell injection. On one hand, they can repair the damaged intrinsic cells, thus helping reviving renal function. On the other hand, some stem cell injection is free of charge such as Treg cells. What’s more, stem cell injection is convenient and has no side effects as well as brings no suffering to chronic kidney disease patients. In immune protection period stage, Chinese Medicine is also used to increase the immune ability.
So patients who are ready for haemodialysis can consider the above mentioned as well as dialysis for only when all the above are paid attention to, can they get a better treatment effect. For more information, please consult us online or leave us a message.
