Immunotherapy for End-stage Renal Failure caused by lupus

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus(SLE) is a kind of auto-immune disease, so the only thorough therapy for SLE is to regulate the abnormal immune system, not just to take some immunosuppressive medications to prevent the abnormal immune response, actually, when the abnormal immune response is prevented, the normal immune response also will be affected, leading to serious side effects.

End-stage renal disease is one of the most significant complications of systemic lupus erythematosus . Previous investigators have evaluated the morbidity and mortality of different renal replacement treatment modalities in these patients. Earlier reports have suggested that the systemic manifestations of SLE diminish, or "burn out," once ESRD occurs. These investigators also suggested that vascular access complications were a significant cause ofmorbidity and mortality in these patients treated with hemodialysis ( HD ). A retrospective review of the records of6 patients with ESRD from lupus nephritis (LN), who received both HD and peritoneal dialysis (PD), was performed to determine i/there was a difference in disease activity between treatment modalities, using patients as se/fcontrols. The number of SLE flares was determined by clinical and/ or serologic studies, and prednisone dosages compared for each treatment modality. F our of the 6 patients continued to have active SLE after renal replacement therapy was begun. There were no significant differences in the number ofSLE flares or prednisone dosages while receiving either treatment modality .While PD eliminates problems associated with vascular access, both HD and PD )/ere effective forms of renal replacement therapy. Most patients in this study continued to have active SLE after commencement of dialysis, with no differences in disease activity noted during HD or PD.

Without thorough therapy, SLE is easy to lead to complications, judging from your test reports,
sorry to say your kidneys have been injured, besides, the test report showed that you have DVT,
Anticardiolipin antibody syndrome, one kind of auto-immune disease.
Do you the meaning of Creatinine level?
Creatinine level can reflect the toxin level in body, there are totally about 200 kinds of toxins
in body every day, if the kidneys are failed to work, those toxin will be accumulated into the
blood, testing Creatinine level can reflect the toxin levels in body. If only judging from the
Creatinine level, sorry to say about 60% of your kidneys have been injured, in other words, only
about 40% of your kidneys still work normally.
I think you have taken immunosuppressive medications, the medical effects of such medicines and
the side effects caused by such medicines, you should have known. Only depending on such
medicines can't help you much.
Is it possible for you to come to China for treatments?
Our hospital is located in China, we only treat kidney disease, now we are the largest kidney disease specialized hospital in China.Our hospital is set up in 1986, we mainly use Chinese herbal Medicine Therapy, supplemented by Western Medicine Therapy. As for SLE or Lupus Nephritis, we mainly adopt Immune Therapy in our hospital. Pls note Immune Therapy not refers to those immunosuppressive medication treatments,it's a kind of systemic therapy. Such therapy contains 6 steps, that is Immune Examination,
Immune clearance, Immune blocking, Immune tolerance,Immune protection,Immune clearance .
