How to Be Safe for SLE at Stage 4 with Nephrotic Syndrome
When kidneys are attacked by SLE, we call it Lupus Nephritis. If patients' proteinuria is more than 3.5g/24 hours, it indicates the onset of Nephrotic Syndrome. Stage 4 SLE with Nephrotic Syndrome means kidney function ranges from 15% to 29%. How to be safe with this disease?
Firstly, learn more about the formation of SLE and Nephritic Syndrome
Generally, patients with systemic lupus erythematosus have low immune ability. In this case, harmful substances can cause inflammatory reactions in kidneys, releasing inflammatory reactions. Then, renal extracellular matrix will trigger defensive attack and proliferate abnormally. Finally, Lupus Nephritis occurs. If left alone, damaged kidneys lead extra protein to leak into urine, inducing Nephrotic Syndrome easily. Stage 4 Lupus Nephritis is quite severe that must cause a series of complications.
Secondly, know the notices of Lupus Nephritis
As introduced by kidney experts, many factors are more likely to induce the aggravation and relapse of Lupus Nephritis. In order to prevent these problems, patients should pay attention to cold, diarrhea, fever, nausea, taking wrong medications, overwork, sunshine, salty or greasy foods, and so on. These methods can also help ease patients' protein leakage and manage Nephrotic Syndrome.
Lastly, take correct treatment to manage Lupus Nephritis
In clinic, there are many ways to treat Lupus Nephritis.
Western medicine usually uses steroids and immunosuppressants to treat Lupus Nephritis, and these medicines have strong anti-inflammatory ability. If patients with Nephrotic Syndrome and Stage 4 SLE respond to these medications, their proteinuria, swelling and some other symptoms can be eased quickly. However, patients' kidney problem relapses easily.
Chinese medicine uses herbal medicines which have the effects of removing immune complexes, regulating immune system and repairing damaged kidney cells to treat Lupus Nephritis from the root. As protein leakage reduces, Nephrotic Syndrome is controlled.
