The Treatment for Nephrotic Syndrome

Nephrotic Syndrome is characterized with large amount of swelling, proteinuria. What is the best treatment for Nephrotic Syndrome

What is the best treatment for nephrotic syndrome? Regarding this questions, I think from the patient’s point of view, it should be that there is less side effect, better, no side effect and after receiving this treatment, they can be cured and the disease does not relapse again, then they can live a normal life like any of the normal people. Does this kind of treatment exist?

Actually, at present, steroids are commonly used for nephrotic syndrome treatment, which concerns patients most for it has many side effects, like damage to skin, causes for diabetes, high blood pressure, bone disease, obesity, swelling, low serum potassium, etc. However, it is very effective in treating nephrotic syndrome, especially in children nephrotic syndrome like minimal change disease. So, from this point, it is pretty necessary as far as it really works in treating this kind of disease despite the side effects.

However, regarding the side effects, if we can do something to fight against the side effects at the same time, make its effect play its role fully, is it better than we do nothing?

According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the nature of steroids is Yang and it is distributed to the kidney collaterals. Actually, steroid is a kind of intrinsic metabolic substances in human body, the nature of which is similar to asthenia of fire. Asthenia of fire can generate qi. Application of steroids is just to generate qi, duly treating the disease by dispelling the pathogenic factors and strengthening healthy qi. However, long-term application of exogenous steroids can turn asthenia of fire into sthenia of fire, duly rising side effects of sthenia fire. So, if take some Chinese herb medicine together with steroids can effectively inhibit the feedback responses of the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal cortical hormone system from exogenous steroids, duly reducing the side effects and decreasing the possibility of relapse of nephrotic syndrome.
Besides, steroids also suppress the immunity and those patients who are on long-term steroids always have weak immunity, what’s more, much protein in patient’s blood is leaked out with urine due to heavy proteinuria, including immune globulin and compliments, etc. which further weaken patient’s resistance to pathogenic factors, followed by relapse of this disease. Regarding this condition, doctors usually prescribe some herb medicine to strengthen patient’s resistance and prevent infection effectively.

In this case, combination of western medicine and TCM can not only effectively treat the disease but also fight against the side effects and prevent relapse of nephrotic syndrome, which ease patients, especially parents of children with nephrotic syndrome.
