Routine Treatments
People are told there’s no cure for IGAN for a long time. But our therapies made that a history. Before introducing our therapies, there’s a need to understand the routine therapies used to treat the disease. Medications are used to deal with Berger’s disease including:
▪ Omega-3 fatty acids
Omega-3 fatty acid is rich in the fish oil and fish, for example, salmon and tuna etc. The fatty acids can help reduce the inflammation in glomeruli.
▪ Immunosuppressants
The current immunosuppressants are mainly hormones. Those drugs help protect the kidney function and suppress one’s immune reaction from happening again and again. However, it is well-known that those hormone drugs have certain side-effects such as high blood pressure and high blood sugar etc.
▪ High blood pressure medications
Someone may wonder why hypertension medications? It is all because high blood pressure is IGAN’s common complication. Those drugs help lower the blood pressure and reduce the albumin leakage in your urine.
The therapy is the perfect combination of novel high-potency blood purification technique, immunosuppressants, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy. First of all, the patient will be arranged to take a comprehensive diagnosis after admission. Individualized treatment plan will be chalked out by our topnotch nephrologists on the basis of right test report afterwards.
Blood purification technique such as plasma exchange, dialysis, blood filtration, hemoperfusion and LDL apheresis etc. are used to clear out the toxins and harmful substances from the blood.
Novel and high-potency immunosuppressants will be adopted after the internal environment is created. Those drugs aim at suppressing the overactive immune reaction and stop the further damage to remaining cells and tissues.
Next step is Micro- Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy. Traditional Chinese medicine is good at dilating the blood circulation and providing nutrition to the kidneys. It is able to help protect the kidneys and repair the damaged cells and tissues.
The best possible outcome after completing the Immunotherapy is not only the dialysis duration is prolonged, but also the kidney function is regained all over again.
