Question: My wife having problem with her kidneys due to SLE. Doctor advised her to prepare for doing dialysis. Is it possible to avoid dialysis? Please suggest.
Answer: SLE is an autoimmune disease, which can cause immune system to attack your own cells and organs. And about 60% of lupus patients develop lupus nephritis. From what you said, we can see that your wife is in advanced stage of lupus nephritis. That is why her doctor advised dialysis. The World Health Organization has subdivided lupus nephritis into 6 classes. These classes can transform each other. That is to say, even if she is in advanced stage, with proper treatment, she can reverse the damage and restore renal function. What is her creatinine level now? And what symptoms does she have? If her condition is indeed very serious, she has to start dialysis to stabilize the condition firstly, and then take alternatives to restore renal function. And then she can get rid of dialysis after a period of treatment.
In Peking Tung Shin Tang Chinese Medical Hospital, Toxin-Removing Treatment is often used in Lupus Nephritis treatment.
This is a systemic treatment, which includes 9 therapies.
1. Double plasma exchange therapy
2. Chinese medicine detoxification therapy (oral Chinese medicine)
3. Chinese medicine for activating blood circulation (external therapies)
4. Cell (autoimmune cell) infusion therapy
5. Cytokine infusion therapy
6. Negative oxygen ion therapy
7. Ozone Therapy
8. Micronutrient and vitamin supplements
9. Good living habit
The above therapies can work together to eliminate waste products and extra fluid from body via sweat, urine and bowel movement. They can also restore the balance of anti-inflammatory cytokines and pro-inflammatory cytokines to reduce renal inflammation and control the disease from getting worse. Moreover, they can dilate blood vessels and remove stasis to improve blood circulation and increase blood flow into kidneys so that enough essential elements such as oxygen, nutrients and active ingredients of medicine can be transported into nidus to speed up kidney recovery.
-After about one week’s treatment, you will see a lot of waste products in the urine, which are those wastes being passed out.
-After about half month’s treatment, high creatinine, BUN and uric acid level will decrease.
-After about one month’s treatment, her disease will be under control, and renal function will get improved.
