When it comes to Nephritis, we mainly refer to chronic renal glomerular
nephritis, which accounts for more than half of chronic kidney disease including
lupus nephritis, purpura nephritis, etc. As its name implies, nephritis means a
condition in which there is inflammation. The pathological bacteria or virus
invades, the immune system will protect. However, when immune system is out of
order, the combination of antigen and antibody which is also called immune
complex will deposit onto the organs and will not be cleared away into urine.
The immune complex will also deposit into kidney. As we know, kidney will not
allow abnormal things to stay in the kidney so inflammation reaction takes
place, which will damage the healthy cells and tissues in the kidney. In most of
the time, inflammation reaction takes place in renal glomeruli, so we call it
renal glomerular nephritis.
When renal glomerular nephritis takes place in the early stage, the symptoms
are not obvious. For children, in the urinalysis examinations, there appears
protein in urine and red blood cells in urine, which worsens after strenuous
exercise or infection. Generally, with children growing, there will be more and
more protein in urine. What’s worse, some can have severe protein in urine. They
seldom have increased blood pressure and usually in the end stage, blood
pressure begins to increase. Renal glomerular nephritis usually develops slowly,
and male patients usually have worse condition.
Generally, firstly, we should block the immune inflammation reaction so as to
stop the damaged and then we should try to regulate the immune system so as to
increase the immune ability. In this case, the body itself can clear away the
immune complex and treat renal glomerular nephritis from root.
In our Hospital, we have immunotherapy which is a systematic therapy of both
Chinese herbs and western medicine as well as cell therapy. It can regulate the
immune system thus treating nephritis from root.
