Chinese Herbal Medicine Treats Proteinuria for Nephrotic Syndrome
If steroids fail to treat or alleviate proteinuria for Nephrotic Syndrome patients, patients must be eager to seek some alternative therapies or medicines. Chinese herbal medicine is just another treatment option for them.
The theory of Chinese herbal medicine on treating proteinuria
For patients with Nephrotic Syndrome, protein leakage is attributed to the increased glomerular permeability caused by glomerular filtration membrane damage. In the past, we only focus on treating primary disease but do a little on repairing glomerular filtration membrane. From this point, we can know the reason why proteinuria relapses again and again is that damaged glomerular filtration membrane isn't repaired. Today, we introduce some Chinese herbal medicines that can just overcome this disadvantage.
Chinese Herbal Medicine to manage protein leakage
Lumbricus: This medicine has the effect of anti-coagulation, anti-inflammation, expanding blood vessels, reducing blood viscosity, and inhibiting the formation of blood clotting. It eases protein leakage through improving blood rheology and inhibiting the formation of blood clotting in glomeruli.
Ground beeltle: It has strong property of activating blood and removing stasis. Besides, it can reach the kidney lesion and treat it directly, and it is effective in treating recurrent proteinuria.
Periostracum cicada: In clinic, many Nephrotic Syndrome patients' proteinuria increases because of upper respiratory infections. This medicine can help reduce protein leakage from kidneys through lowering blood endothelin, reducing the release of free radicals and reducing the damage to glomerular endothelial cells.
Notice
Although the above Chinese medicines are effective to deal with proteinuria, patients don't need to take all of them. The prescription should depend on the severity and underlying cause of protein in urine for Nephrotic Syndrome patients. If you or other person hopes to use these medicines to treat your proteinuria, you can email the patient's illness description to kidneyservice@hotmail.com or kidneyservice@hotmail.com.
