Nephrotic Syndrome: Natural Alternative of Cellcept
Cellcept is a medicine that lowers the body's natural immunity. This medicine is prescribed if patients with Nephrotic Syndrome have too many relapses. Is there any natural alternative treatment for Nephrotic Syndrome?
How does cellcept work for NS?
The medicine is often recommended if this kidney disease doesn't get better with steroid treatment or it keeps coming back. It can reduce the relapse rate and steroid dose in patients with steroid-dependent Nephrotic Syndrome. Several weeks later after taking the medicine, patients may have some improvements.
However, people may experience side effects as below while taking this medication:
Constipation, diarrhea, vomiting, nausea, stomach pain, headache, weakness, dizziness, sleep problems, fever, chills, sore throat, shortness of breath, check pain, etc.
Furthermore, the medicine is just a kind of symptomatic therapy, which fails to treat NS from the root cause. So, patients are suggested to find other better natural alternative therapy with no side effects.
The pathological cause of Nephrotic Syndrome is that inflammatory reaction in kidneys produced large amount of immune complexes accumulating in glomerular basement membrane, leading to the damage of glomerular basement membrane, thus the declining of kidney function.
