How to repair glomeruli

As we all know, the kidney is one of the five internal organs of the human body. Its main function is to remove harmful substances from the blood and play an important role in the human body. However, the transmission of harmful substances in the kidneys mainly depends on the operation of the glomerulus, which plays a filtering role. An abnormal glomerular filtration rate will cause many complications and harm to the human body. Therefore, the glomerular filtration rate is an effective indicator for detecting human kidneys. This article will introduce how to repair the glomerulus when there is a problem with the glomerulus.

Chronic glomerulonephritis, abbreviated as chronic nephritis, refers to a group of glomerular diseases with proteinuria, hematuria, hypertension, and edema as the basic clinical manifestations. The onset is different, the disease progresses slowly, and there may be varying degrees of renal impairment, which will eventually develop into chronic renal failure. So how do you treat glomerulonephritis? Many patients have questions about this.

Many hospitals use drugs such as hormones and immunosuppressants for routine treatment. Although they can control protein and occult blood on the surface, the disease is often prone to recurrence, and the side effects of these drugs are relatively large. Therefore, many patients often encounter this situation. During the initial medication period, the plus signs of protein and occult blood disappear. However, after a period of time, the dosage of the medicine is reduced, or there are conditions such as fatigue, cold, fever, etc., and the plus signs appear again. This happens repeatedly for several years or even more than ten years, and the disease will progress.

Funeng Nephrology believes that when we treat glomerulonephritis, we cannot simply control the symptoms on the surface, but should treat the root cause. So where is the root of the problem? This requires understanding why nephritis causes loss of protein or occult blood. The reason why nephritis causes loss of protein and occult blood is because the basement membrane of the glomerulus in the kidney is damaged, causing protein molecules that originally would not leak out to leak out through the damaged basement membrane. Therefore, when we treat glomerulonephritis, we need to repair the root cause, that is, the pathological damage to the glomeruli. At the same time, we also need to remove the immune complexes deposited on the basement membrane of the kidney that cause basement membrane damage. Only in this way can we fundamentally treat the disease and prevent recurrence.

When it comes to how to treat glomerulonephritis, the key is to treat the root cause, that is, to repair the pathological damage to the kidneys, rather than simply controlling protein and occult blood on the surface.
