Can FSGS Patients of Kidney Disease Be Treated with Chinese Medicine
FSGS occurs when kidney scarring affects a part of glomeruli. If uncontrolled effectively, most cases of FSGS kidney disease may eventually progress into Kidney Failure. As we all know, Chinese medicine is good at regulating disorders of internal body system and treating chronic disease. In view of this, FSGS patients also hope their kidney disease can be treated with Chinese medicine.
Before giving the answer, we should point out that any type of chronic kidney disease including FSGS kidney disease isn’t an easy disorder to overcome, so after many years’ research, chronic kidney disease still has two obvious characteristics: the treatment time is long and kidney disease relapses again and again. Therefore, if you are suffering from FSGS kidney disease and want to try Chinese medicines, you should have enough patience to accept your whole treatment plan.
Different Chinese medicines have different properties, so according to patients’ illness condition, doctors may prescribe the following medicines.
1. Chinese medicines to manage FSGS complications: In addition to the underlying causes, some complications such as proteinuria and high blood pressure can also contribute to the aggravation of FSGS. If patients have these problems, Chinese medicines which have the effect of relieving proteinuria or lowering high blood pressure are needed. For example, corn silk, thunder god vine, cinnamon, and so on, just can help manage proteinuria.
2. Chinese medicines to fix impaired glomeruli: Astragalus membranaceus, Chinese rhubarb, Maikang mixture, etc, just can improve glomerular condition and increase the burden on kidney filters, so glomerular damage caused by kidney scarring can be reversed gradually.
3. Chinese medicines to strengthen patients’ Qi: In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Qi refers to energy in our body. Enough Qi can protect us from health problems. These Chinese medicines like cordyceps sinensis can prevent the relapse of FSGS kidney disease.
