Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy Cure Mesangial Proliferative Glomerular Nephritis


Mesangial Proliferative Glomerular Nephritis is a disease that affects the glomeruli in the kidneys. Most instances of MPGN are caused by other diseases or disorders, including autoimmune diseases, chronic infections, monoclonal immunoglobulin deposition diseases, and hereditary diseases. The idiopathic type of MPGN is seen more commonly in persons aged 8-30. There is a new treatment in our hospital, which is good news for MPGN patients. It is called Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy. Here I would like to give you a brief introduction of Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy.
What is Micro-Chinese Medicine?
You may have heard of Chinese medicine (Chinese herbs) before. Here only a simple different that is 'Micro-' has been added, but the means of it have changed greatly. Let me introduce for you in detail.
How dose Micro-Chinese Medicine work in the body?
The root pathological change of kidney disease lies in the fibrosis of renal functional cells. Only when the fibrosis is blocked, can deterioration of kidney disease be stopped. Study shows that fibrosis results from the insufficiency of blood and oxygen in the kidneys. Rightly, Micro-Chinese Medicine has good curative effect to improve the state of lacking blood and oxygen. Specifically speaking, Micro-Chinese Medicine can dilate blood vessels and decrease blood coagulation, thus improving blood circulation of kidneys. In addition, it can also decrease inflammatory reaction and degrade extracellular matrixes (ECM) both of which contribute to fibrosis of renal functional cells. In this way, Micro-Chinese Medicine can effectively prevent fibrosis and thereby stop kidney disease from progressing.

Symptoms for Renal Failure


Kidney is as important as the garbage disposal to a city which is actually responsible for purifying blood and filtrating metabolic wastes. The city will be disorder and ruined if the garbage disposal has been destroyed. Therefore, life would fail if kidneys fail. To some degree, prevention is better than cure, so it is necessary for people to know more about Renal Failure. Various common symptoms of Renal Failure will be introduced in this article.
1. Changes in Urination
Most patients of Renal Failure has changes in urination. People may notice that urine may be foamy or bubbly. Some people may urinate more often than the usual. While some may urinate less often, or in smaller amounts than usual. Some times patients may also have to apply pressure while urinating. High levels of urea in blood can result in vomiting and/or diarrhea, dehydration nausea, weight loss, nocturnal urination, blood in urine and so on. There are still some people have symptoms like more frequent with pale urine or less frequent but dark coloured urine.
2.Edema
Edema or swelling may occur in legs, ankles, feet, face or hands. For some children ,it is usually a suffering. Many children with edema will have a moon-shape face, which brings pain to them in both physic and mind.
Other symptoms may be like Fatigue, Skin Rash or Itching, Metallic Taste in Mouth or Ammonia
3. Anemia
Healthy kidneys produce the hormone erythropoietin which stimulates the bone marrow to make oxygen-carrying red blood cells. As the kidneys fail, they produce less erythropoietin, resulting in decreased production of red blood cells to replace the natural breakdown of old red blood cells. As a result, the blood carries less hemoglobin, a condition known as anemia. This can result in feeling tired or weak, memory problems, difficulty concentrating, dizziness and low blood pressure.
4. Other Symptoms
Breath, Nausea and Vomiting, Shortness of Breath, Feeling Cold, Dizziness and Trouble Concentrating, Leg or flank pain may happen to patients of Renal Failure. These are actually the usual symptoms. Even if the symptoms are minor or does not have any longer impact should be brought into the notice as earlier as possible.
