There are many types of nephritis clinically. It is mainly an autoimmune disease. The more common ones are acute nephritis and chronic nephritis. There are many ways to treat nephritis. Currently, drug treatment is the main approach in clinical practice, among which Western medicine is more common. However, depending on personal physical conditions, some people may believe more in Chinese medicine treatment. So how can Traditional Chinese Medicine treat nephritis?

1. Nephritis is an autoimmune disease. Whether it is acute nephritis, chronic nephritis, nephrotic syndrome, or even uremia, the treatment of traditional Chinese medicine has a good effect. Traditional Chinese medicine can not only quickly restore kidney function and reduce urine protein and red blood cells in the urine; it can also effectively reduce leg swelling and systemic edema through diuresis, improve the patient's metabolism, and improve the patient's quality of life. Treatment of acute nephritis with traditional Chinese medicine can enhance the body's ability to fight the disease, which is manifested in rapid recovery of clinical lesions, rapid clearing of urine, and normal test results. Treatment of chronic nephritis and nephrotic syndrome can also reduce the loss of protein and red blood cells in urine through traditional Chinese medicine. Western medicine uses hormones to control the loss of protein in the urine. If it can be combined with Chinese medicine, it can not only double the efficacy, but also prevent recurrence for a long time after cure, or even cure the disease.

2. Traditional Chinese medicine still has certain advantages in the treatment of chronic nephritis. For example, traditional Chinese medicine has the advantages of few side effects, better efficacy and good safety in treating chronic nephritis. In addition, Chinese medicine will use Shenling Baizhu San as a representative prescription in traditional clinical application. For the type of internal accumulation of damp-heat, the method of observation, auscultation, questioning and palpation is used to diagnose and treat the patient holistically to develop an individualized treatment plan. For example, in the current clinical practice of traditional Chinese medicine, chronic nephritis is often divided into the following three syndromes. For example, the spleen and kidney qi deficiency type is represented by Cheng's Bixie Fenqing Yin.

3. The TCM treatment of nephritis is based on syndrome differentiation and treatment, while the treatment of kidney disease generally includes avoiding fatigue, removing inducements such as infection, avoiding contact with nephrotoxic drugs or poisons, and adopting a healthy lifestyle, such as quitting smoking, limiting alcohol consumption, exercising moderately, controlling emotions, and eating a reasonable diet.
