Chinese Medication to Treat FSGS with 25% Kidney Function

FSGS is also one condition in which kidney function is more likely to decline gradually. 25% kidney function indicates stage 4 kidney disease. In this case, Chinese medications are still helpful to reverse FSGS patients’ kidney damage. How do they work?

As introduced by nephrologists, FSGS has a close link with deposits of immune complexes within kidneys. These substances damage kidney functioning tissues through leading to inflammatory reactions. Thereby, steroids and immunosuppressants which have the anti-inflammatory effect are often used to treat FSGS and ease patients’ symptoms such as swelling and proteinuria. However, some FSGS patients fail to respond to these medications or suffer from a number of side effects.

Then, doctors try to use Chinese medications which have fewer side effects to manage FSGS and repair patients’ impaired kidney cells. Since different Chinese medicines have different effects just like western medicines, doctors prescribe various medicines to achieve corresponding therapeutic effects in different steps.

Step 1: Remove immune complexes from the body. In this step, Chinese medicines with strong immunocompetence are taken that can combine, split and discharge immune complexes gradually.

Step 2: Repair damaged kidney cells. 25% kidney function means quite a part of kidney functioning tissues are damaged or even necrotic. At present, what we can do is to repair damaged but not necrotic kidney cells. In this step, Chinese medicines with effects of nourishing kidneys and increasing the self-curative ability of damaged kidney cells are needed.

Step 3: Prevent the relapse of FSGS. In this moment, the key is to regulate immune system so as to prevent the relapse of FSGS, so doctors prescribe some medications with regulation ability.

Of course, individuals with FSGS and 25% kidney function should take Chinese medications according to their illness condition.
