Traditional Chinese herbs have developed through thousands of years history. The greatness and miracleness is known to many. Can traditional Chinese medicines be applied in the treatment of kidney diseases? Will the treatment help patients regain kidney functions?
The questions are common concerns among the patients. Starting from present treatment of kidney diseases. As we know, kidney disease is currently mainly treated by hormones, immunosupressive medicines, anti-hypertensive medicines, detoxification medicines. All of those medicines are proven effective in slowing down renal progression and remitting symptoms. However, the truth is, most pateints don't completely avoid kidney progression. They find their kidney function deteriorating, symptoms replaping again and again, creatinine rising..and thereby, finally don't avoid end-stage kidney disease. In ESKD, the treatment is only dialysis, or some others seek hope from kidney transplantation. Once 44-year-old women from Henan Province in China told us what all she has passed through. Intially, her creatinine level was at 1.4, and the local doctors applied some detoxification medicines. Creatinine lowered to normal range indeed, and she was so happy. But in one years, creatinine rose to 3.5, out of control by medicines. And at this time, when she went to doctor again. This time doctor indicates if this goes on, then she will have to enter dialysis. She viewed the Chinese medicine treatment as the last straw. Before treatment, she doubted a lot, wondering whether what the doctor said of "getting rid of dialysis" is true, or she should just wait for death. The final decision to accept treatment supported by loved ones around eventually prove it is worth it.
Looking back to present medical field, dialysis is still widely accepted, and if they can cope with it carefully, they may live 10-15 years. However, the pateints eventually very weak. Death ahead, or just a possible transplantation is their best hope. Traiditonal Chinese medicine is increasingly known by the world, and it casts light and new hope on the patients. We have the confidence, and just hope, to help as much kidney disease sufferers from the world. As the largest kidney diasease specialized hospital in China, we feel the great obligation to help more and more kidney disease sufferers look on their disease objectively, seriously but also hopefully..
