“Hello, dr. I was diagnosed with Nephrotic Syndrome last year. My doctor prescribed some steroids for me to control the condition. Bad news is that once I reduced the dose, it will occur again. Is there radical therapy replaces steroids?”
Usually, steroids can help relieve the symptoms like protein in urine and swelling of the body within short time. Then, children will go into remission. Unfortunately, the disease often relapses easily after kids getting an infection or catching a cold.
Meanwhile, they may show serious adverse effects from the medications including puffiness in the face (moon face) and abdomen, weight gain, mood swings, poor wound healing, stunted growth, calcium loss from the bones, etc.
In Nephrotic Syndrome, your kidney tissues and cells are damaged already. Thus the proper treatment we take should focus on repairing the kidney damage and improve renal function.
In China, our hospital uses TCM treatments for Nephrotic Syndrome, which is effective and radical. The following are some representative therapies of our hospital:
Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy
It is applied externally without side effects. The Chinese medicines are micronized into powder and are put into two bags. Patients lie on the two medicated bags comfortably. The active materials can enter into kidney lesion directly with the help of osmotic machine to dilate blood vessels, improve blood circulation, anti-inflammation, anti-coagulation, and degradation. Gradually these damaged kidney tissues can be repaired well and kidney function can be improved.
Medicated Bath
This therapy can play the medicine effects on patient's whole body. Patients immerse in the hot water with Chinese herbs about 30 minutes. These toxins and wastes in the blood can be discharged effectively via skin of the whole body. In this way, it can provide a good condition for the further medication application.
Other natural treatments
There are also other Chinese treatments, like Foot Bath Therapy, Oral Chinese Medicine Therapy, Acupuncture Therapy, etc. We will choose the suitable therapies for you according to your condition.
You can get rid of steroids with Chinese medicine treatments after a period of time. If you want to change your current treatment and try TCM therapy, you can leave a message in the below form or email to us. Good luck!
