Immunosupressive medications.
Immunosupressive medications have the function to inhibit inflammations in the kidneys and thus reliving symptoms in the patients. However, Lupus Nephritis patients recurs easily because the treatments applied to them don;t help to improve kidney functions or correct the immune system at all. That's also the reason why the patients find difficulty in controlling their conditions.
Dialysis
Dialysis is a way to reduce the wastes accumulated in the body so as to greatly reduce complications in brains, heart, gastrointestinal tract, endocrine system, etc. As for the patients, dialysis is a temporary approach to get rid of the wastes in the body, however, it doesn't help repair kidneys thus it is suggested to adopt it as a temporary treatment instead of a life-long reliance.
Kidney transplantation.
Kidney transplantation substitute the failing kidney with a new one. However,applying immunosuppressive medications for life-long is indeed boring for the patients. in some, their creatinine level may increase within years, and in some they may return to dialysis again.
Immunotherapy treatment is a comprehensive treatment which treats Lupus Nephritis from several aspects; first, the treatment can correct the immune system and recover immune disorder; second, the treatment can get rid of the antibodies, immune complexes and other wasteful products in bloodstream thus naturally reducing their further attack to kidneys; third, traditional Chinese herbal medicines are effective in repairing injured kidney cells, improving kidney functions and thus hopefully getting away from dialysis in the patients.
If a loved one has Lupus and kidney failure, effective treatments are the best ways to improve life quality in the patients.
