FSGS is short for Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis, which reflects the
damage in the renal glomerulus. Due to the immune reaction caused by immune
complex deposition, the damage in the kidney glomerulus are really serious
gradually. The sclerosis will take place partially in the renal glomerulus. In
this case, the blood and oxygen in the kidney will be insufficient, which in
turn worsen damage in the kidney. In FSGS stage, quiet a few patients are under
dialysis, which many people have realize that can not treat from root and with
time passing by, patients may can not get rid of dialysis. Is there a new
breakthrough of FSGS treatment?
The combination therapy of both western medicine and Chinese herbs will give
a turn in the progressing of FSGS and make a breakthrough.
As we know, in many countries, kinds of hormones and immunosuppressive agents
are applied, which can control the immune reaction in the kidney and diminish
the symptoms. However, immune complex still exist in the kidney, which will lead
to continuous reaction. Especially after infection, a lot of immune complex will
appear, which causes symptom to appear once more.
So if we want to make a new breakthrough, we should enhance the immune
ability as well as clear away the immune complex. To achieve this, Chinese
Medicine can take effects, which is partial immunotherapy in our Hospital.
Firstly, it can help extend the blood vessels especially the micro-blood
vessels, in which case, the Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis can be relieved
for the nutritious herbs can supply more oxygen and nutrition to the renal
glomerulus. At this moment, the damaged cells can be repaired to some
extent.
On the other hand, in Chinese Medicine, there are herbs which can enhance the
immunity of patients with FSGS. In this case, our body gains ability to clear
away the immune complex in the kidney. Even in the later time, infection
invades, the immune system cells can defeat the bacteria and virus, etc, which
can prevent the relapse of symptoms such as hematuria and proteinuria, etc.
