Is Nephrotic Syndrome with SLE Curable

Q: Nephrotic Syndrome with SLE, is this curable? Now my blood pressure is around 140/90 and urine protein within 24hours is 960mg. Why I want to know if there is any kind of danger in future if this continues?

A: Hi, regarding to your first question: is Nephrotic Syndrome with SLE curable, I am so sorry to tell you there is no cure as of now, but please do not worry, your kidney condition can be improved with right treatment.

Nephrotic Syndrome is a condition that is often caused by any of a group of diseases that damage the kidneys’ filtering system. Normally, protein can be prevented from being leaked, and when the filtering system is affected, protein will leak out and form proteinuria. This is the reason why 960mg protein can be found in your urine everyday. Are you receiving any treatment now? If you left your illness condition alone, much more protein will be found in urine and your illness condition will become more and more serious.

Besides, for your second questions, I’d like to know is your SLE controlled or not? SLE is an autoimmune disease, which can involve all the symptoms of your body, so it is also a threat to your kidney. You mentioned your blood pressure is 140/90 which is a little higher than the normal range 120/80. To protect residual kidney function, it is necessary to bring your blood pressure into normal range.

Lastly, according to your illness condition, I suggest you to try Immunotherapy which not only helps you improve kidney function, but also remit SLE. Immunotherapy is a combination of western medicines and Chinese medicines. It shows more obvious treatment effects compared with simple Chinese medicine or western medicines.
