How to treat proteinuria? Both Chinese and Western medicine have methods

Proteinuria is the earliest manifestation of diabetic nephropathy and must be taken seriously. Further deterioration may cause uremia. It is important to detect and treat the disease early and pay attention to a healthy diet. The treatment methods for proteinuria are divided into Western medicine treatment and traditional Chinese medicine treatment according to different physical conditions. Only by achieving the treatment goals can health be guaranteed.

1. Conventional Western medicine treatment is to use hormones or immunosuppressants such as prednisone and cyclophosphamide to relieve and temporarily reduce urinary protein. The biologically active ingredients in it can significantly increase the phagocytic function of macrophages and inhibit the immune response in the kidney, so that the immune complexes deposited on the glomerular endothelium gradually disintegrate and are cleared by the liver with increased blood flow or excreted from the body with urine. After taking the medicine for a period of time, you will see that the urine becomes turbid, which means that the immune complexes are being excreted. As the immune complexes are cleared, the urine protein also turns negative.

2. Traditional Chinese medicine. The three-dimensional kidney-activating therapy is a comprehensive method for treating kidney disease. The three-dimensional kidney-activating therapy combines TCM syndrome differentiation with disease differentiation and treatment, and uses classification treatment, symptomatic treatment, causal treatment and holistic treatment. That is, different TCM treatments are used for different types of kidney disease, different patient constitutions and different stages of kidney disease development.

3. Pay attention to your diet. It is advisable to eat heat-clearing and diuretic foods; it is advisable to eat foods with low sugar content; it is advisable to eat foods with sufficient water. Avoid eating irritating foods; avoid eating foods with too much salt; avoid eating foods that are too dry.

4. To achieve the goal of treatment. For the treatment of high urine protein, two treatment goals need to be achieved. One is to eliminate the symptom of high urine protein through treatment, and the other is to avoid the recurrence of proteinuria through treatment. In clinical practice, when facing patients' urine protein problems, they are basically treated with hormones or immunosuppressive drugs. These drugs can exert anti-inflammatory effects, so they can alleviate the abnormal condition of high urine protein in patients with kidney disease. This type of hormone-based kidney treatment for proteinuria often becomes the root cause of recurrent symptoms in patients with renal proteinuria. After the condition turns into the uremia stage, dialysis and kidney transplantation are performed.
