Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Is Immune Disease

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus is autoimmune disease, about 90% of which can lead to damage in kidney. The cause has not been clear, but the pathogenesis is definite, which can be divided into the following points:
Firstly, in the body of patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, there are kinds of autoantibody such as ones which are used to resist nucleus, resist cytoplasm, and so on.
Secondly, nearly all patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus have abnormal immune. B cells in the blood can be highly activated, and a large amount of antibody comes into being, which can lead to antoimmune reaction.
Thirdly, in tissues of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, we can see the deposition of immune globulin, complement, and DNA. In the eluent, we can see the antibody of DNA.
All the above mentioned indicates that Systemic Lupus Erythematosus is autoimmune disease.
The symptoms of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus are as follows:
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus usually invades many organs and tissues such as skin, joints, kidney, heart, blood and nerve system. The lesions which take place in the organs can take place at the same time and can also take place one by one. The main complaint and symptoms can also be different. The main clinical systems can be fever, butterfly red spot in face, Symmetry joint swelling, pericarditis caused by renal damage, liver damage, symptoms in digestive tract and mental symptoms and so on.
What about the treatment of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus? In western countries, immune inhibiting is used such as hormones and immunosuppressive agent which can stop the excessive immune response. However, as we mentioned in the above articles, when kidney disease takes place, immune complex has deposited in the kidney already. As we know, our kidney need nothing which despite onto the kidney at all. And long time deposition must cause damage in kidney. However, on clearing the immune complex, western medicine can not achieve better treatment. So we should use the combination treatment of western medicine and Chinese medicine.
In our hospital, the experts have researched out a new therapy which can combine the advantages of both western medicine and Chinese medicine. It can be divided into 6 steps: scientific diagnosis, scientific medicine, immune tolerance, immune adjustment and immune protection and immune clearance.
