How to Treat Hypertensive Nephropathy

As we mentioned in the premier passage, in renal fibrosis stage, patients with Hypertensive Nephropathy can have a variety of symptoms. To treat Hypertensive Nephropathy, we must start with stopping the renal fibrosis and declining high blood pressure. Chinese Medicine can function as extending blood vessels, anti-inflammatory, anti-coagulation, and degrading, etc.
The first one is extending blood vessels. Due to high blood pressure, the lumen of renal small arteries will become much narrower, so the perfusion to the kidney will decrease. In this case, renal fibrosis comes into being as a result of the insufficiency of blood and oxygen. The deposition of matrix becomes more and more, which invades and even takes place of the intrinsic cells in the kidney. So the physical function of kidney loose gradually. So to solve the insufficiency of blood and oxygen in the kidney should be the first step which can stop the renal fibrosis.
Firstly, Chinese Medicine can extend all levels of renal arteries, improve the partial blood circulation, increase the effective perfusion in the kidney, improve the insufficiency of blood and oxygen in the kidney, increase the partial metabolism, accelerate the repair of damaged intrinsic cells.
Secondly, Chinese Medicine can improve the obstruct of micro-circulation in digestive system. It can also relieve the edema in mucosa, which is caused by renal fibrosis. It can also promote the increase of digestive juice secretion, and improve the appetite. In this case, the condition of patients with Hypertensive Nephropathy can be improved.
Thirdly, the active materials in Chinese Medicine can also extend the blood vessels in all levels of the whole body, improve the micro-circulation in the whole body, promote the whole system’s blood circulation, thus improving the high blood pressure condition.
The second function of Chinese Medicine is that it can play as anti-inflammation. Due to high blood pressure, the intrinsic cells will be damaged, which will lead to the infiltration of inflammatory cells. Then, inflammatory mediators will be relieved, which can lead to the renal fibrosis. So if we do not diminish inflammatory reaction, renal fibrosis cannot be stopped. Chinese Medicine can inhibit the inflammatory mediators, inactivate the toxic materials, relieve the continuous damage to the kidney, and so on.
The third function of Chinese Medicine is anti-coagulation. Long time high blood pressure can lead to the barrier of micro-circulation, which leads to the insufficiency of blood and oxygen. Gradually, the activity of anti-coagulation decrease, which promotes the adhering and gathering of blood cells, so microthrombus comes into being. In turn, microthrombus can worsen the insufficiency of blood and oxygen, leading to the development of renal fibrosis.
The last function of Chinese Medicine is degrading. It is the key point to degrade the metabolism waste. It is also a key which can reflect whether the kidney disease can be reversible.
