Treatment For Proteinuria In Lupus Nephritis
Lupus nephritis can cause patient to have many symptoms, among which a common symptom is proteinuria, which can aggravate patient’s kidney damage if it has not been controlled. So, it is important for patient to accept treatments that can control patient’s condition.
In fact, in treating proteinuria caused by lupus nephritis, there are some measures that are effective.
Diet restriction:
As we know, diet regulation is an important aspect in treating kidney disease. While in treating proteinuria, patient should regulating his protein intake according to his own condition. Patient with kidney disease should not take too much protein, but for patient with massive proteinuria, he may need to supply appropriate protein intake according to his protein loss.
Living style:
Patient needs to change his living style, which can help improve his overall health effectively. For example, patient needs to take appropriate exercise regularly, which can take great benefit to patient’s health. Besides, keeping good emotion, staying away from smoking and drinking, avoiding tiredness, etc, are very help in the treatment of proteinuria.
Medicines:
Some medicines are often used in treating proteinuria, and they are effective. For example, ACEI and ARB are medicines that are used to treating hypertension, but they are also effective in treating proteinuria, because they can reduce the permeability of glomerular filtration membrane. Besides, medicines like glucocorticoid, cytotoxic drugs and immunosuppressor are often used in treating proteinuria, which can stop the damage caused by inflammatory reaction in kidney, so that proteinuria can be stopped from the root.
In fact, except for the treatment aiming at proteinuria, treatment should also aim at improving patient’s kidney function, so the problem can be solved fundamentally. While western medicine is good at controlling patient’s condition, but it can do little in improving patient’s body function. And Chinese medicine is good at improving patient’s self-repairing ability, but it takes relatively long time to have effect. Thereby, treatment combining western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine is what patients need.
