Chinese Traditional Medicine treatments for Focal Segmental Glomerulous Sclerosis

Focal Segmental Glomerulous Sclerosis is a kind of kidney disease.Focal Segmental Glomerulous Sclerosis can’t be cured totally, but many treatments can be applied to stop FSGS effectively.
Focal segmental glomerular sclerosis (FSGS) is a common of nephrotic syndrome (NS) in children and adults with primary glomerular disease. Its histopathological features are glomerular segmental scar, with or without associated with glomerular capillaries within the foam cell formation and adhesion. Nowadays you can use the glucocorticoid or other immune suppressants to reduce the glomerular filtration membrane permeability so as to achieve the purpose of reducing proteinuria.
Hormone and cytotoxicity drugs are the currently common used drugs for the treatment of FSGS. And the new medicine of mycophenolic acid is also praised for its treatment for FSGS. Compared with the traditional treatment plan for FSGS, mycophenolate mofetil(MMF) along with prednisolone for 2-3 months can quickly induce the relieve of the clinical manifestations, reduce the using time of hormones, and reduce the untoward effect of hormones.
And studies show that ACEI could effectively reduce the proteinuria, and along with the extend of treatment, the function of ACEI becomes more and more obvious in reduction of the proteinuria. There are reports that when the traditional treatment is ineffective in treatment for FSGS, the joint application with MMF and ARB could effectively alleviate the clinical symptoms of FSGS.
As for the relapse FSGS after kidney transplant, the effect of blood purification treatment is relatively satisfactory. Especially the double filtration plasmapheresis(DFPP), it could reduce the level of proteinuria as well as extend the survival rate of transplanted kidney.
1. Dialysis and Kidney Transplantation
Generally, dialysis and kidney transplantation are adopted when FSGS develops to kidney failure. However, dialysis is just like a filter machine, it only can help the patient to discharge the waste products from human body, it can’t help the patient to repair the damaged kidneys, it can’t help the patient to absorb the useful substance from human body, it can’t help the patient to secrete useful EPO or other things etc. Therefore, after the patient receive the regularly dialysis for several years, when the kidneys become smaller and smaller, there is only kidney transplant can help them.
With the development of modern medical technology, the death rate of kidney transplant is very low, and it has rescues many patients with end stage of kidney failure. However, patients still need to take anti-rejection medicines all their life, especially for those who can’t undergo kidney transplant, it is really a disappointed thing.
2. Chinese Medicine Treatment method
Nowadays, with the development of modern Chinese Medicine, there are many useful treatment have already proved to be useful. For example, there are many Traditional Chinese Medicine methods like classical prescription, Chinese Traditional Medicine Application, fumigation and moxibustion. Natural Immune Balance Treatment has been studied and used for kidney disease patients, this treatment can intervene the patient’s life style, medicines, Immune System, thus regulate the whole body’s immunity, inhibit the disease relapse, discharge the waste products from human body, stimulate the human body’s self-healing, active and restore the kidney function.
