Nephrotic Syndrome No Response to 40 mg Prednisone
My 5 years old daughter was diagnosed with Nephrotic Syndrome may of 2013. No response to take 40 mg daily of prednisone. The biopsy showed FSGS. What should we do now?
According to the description of this medical case, doctors from Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital give out the following suggestions.
If Nephrotic Syndrome is caused by FSGS kidney disease, patients' prognosis may not be so good, and they are more likely to fail to respond to prednisone and other steroids. If uncontrolled effectively, Nephrotic Syndrome may aggravate into kidney failure gradually.
In this condition, one systemic therapy that can repair damaged kidney cells and treat Nephrotic Syndrome from the root are needed. Since your daughter's NS is caused by FSGS, we would like to suggest Immunotherapy, which consists of six steps.
Step 1: Immune diagnosis. It can help detect the location of immune complexes and the severity and extent of kidney damage exactly.
Step 2: Immune blockage. Since immune complexes can't be eliminated from the body quickly, it is necessary to prevent immune complexes from damaging inherent kidney cells.
Step 3: Immune tolerance. This step can achieve the safe coexist of immune complexes and kidney cells.
Step 4: Immune clearance. With the help of various blood purification methods, it can remove immune complexes from the body successfully.
Step 5: Immune protection. This step focuses on protecting the remaining kidney functioning tissues.
Step 6: Immune adjustment. Only if the immune system is normalized, can patients prevent the relapse of Nephrotic Syndrome effectively.
Immunotherapy is one great therapy to treat Nephrotic Syndrome, especially due to FSGS kidney disease, IgA Nephropathy and minimal change disease. To get more information about this therapy, you can learn it from the doctor online or leaving a message below.
