Chinese Herbs Help Bring Down Creatinine with Lupus Nephritis
Lupus Nephritis is one autoimmune disorder that causes immune complexes to attack inherent kidney functioning tissues. Serum creatinine will increase abnormally once more than 50% of kidney function is lost. It is reported that some Chinese herbs can help bring down creatinine level for Lupus Nephritis patients.
Although people have the same type of kidney disease, prescribed medicines for them should change from person to person. To determine what Chinese herbs are suitable for certain person, we need to know the patient's test report and detailed medical condition.
For Lupus Nephritis patients, Chinese herbs with the following properties can help reduce patients' creatinine level in the blood.
1. Combine, split and dissolve immune complexes
The deposit of immune complexes trigger immune reactions within kidneys. As long as these substances build up in the kidneys, Lupus Nephritis can't be treated from the root. Fortunately, some Chinese medicines have strong property of combing, splitting and dissolving immune complexes. With the elimination of these substances, patients can avoid further kidney damage and protect the remaining kidney functioning tissues effectively.
2. Increase glomerular filtration rate (GFR)
GFR measures how much blood kidneys filter every minute. Chinese herbs such as Chinese rhubarb and astragalus membranaceus can help stimulate kidneys to filter more blood every minute. As more blood is cleansed, more creatinine and some other waste products can be removed from the body accordingly.
3. Regulate immune system
Lupus Nephritis is caused by immune disorder. Only if abnormal immune system is normalized, can patients prevent the recurrence of Lupus Nephritis successfully. According to patients' illness condition, doctors can choose correct medicines to regulate patients' immune system.
The above medicines can lower patients' high creatinine level from treating Lupus Nephritis fundamentally. When kidneys can filter blood normally, patients don't need to worry about their creatinine level any more.
