TCM treatment of lupus nephritis

As we all know, lupus nephritis is a common kidney disease. The occurrence of lupus nephritis can easily bring many-sided impacts to patients, so we recommend that patients with lupus nephritis treat this symptom in time to avoid the deterioration of lupus nephritis and cause greater harm to the body. There are many causes of lupus nephritis, but we can use a variety of methods to treat lupus nephritis. Below we introduce the traditional Chinese medicine treatment of lupus nephritis.

Wolfberry and Pork Kidney Porridge: wolfberry, one pig kidney (remove the inner membrane and chop it into pieces), glutinous rice, a little onion, ginger and salt, cook them together into porridge. It is beneficial to the kidney yin and kidney yang, consolidates the essence and strengthens the waist. It is suitable for kidney deficiency and strain, and pain in the waist and spine, soreness of the waist and knees, weakness of the legs and feet, dizziness and tinnitus caused by deficiency of both yin and yang. This is a classic dietary therapy method for treating kidney deficiency.

Antihypertensive treatment: Hypertension can accelerate the progression and deterioration of diabetic nephropathy. The blood pressure level of diabetic patients is required to be lower than that of non-diabetic hypertensive patients, with diastolic blood pressure less than 75 mmHg. You should also limit sodium intake, quit smoking, limit alcohol consumption, lose weight, and exercise appropriately. This is also the most effective treatment for diabetic nephropathy.

Eyelid edema is one of the early symptoms of nephritis in children. It is caused by damage to the kidney's water excretion and regulation function, which causes an increase in water and sodium in the child's body. Excess water accumulates in the loose tissue of the body, and the eyelids are a part with more loose tissue. The characteristic of eyelid swelling is that it is more obvious when you wake up in the morning and decreases after activity.

If a large amount of foam is found in a child's urine and it dissipates slowly, it may be nephritis. Increased foam often indicates the presence of protein, and proteinuria is an early symptom of nephritis in children. Patients often have symptoms of bladder irritation such as frequent urination, urgency, and pain when urinating. Patients with nephritis may or may not have hypertension, but if it develops into uremia, it is often accompanied by hypertension, which is difficult to control. Generally speaking, the prognosis of patients with hypertension is often worse than that of patients without hypertension.

Urine changes: 40%~70% of patients have gross hematuria; the urine color is like meat washing water or black tea and soy sauce, which lasts for about 1~2 weeks and turns into microscopic hematuria. Microscopic hematuria usually disappears within 6 months, but it may last for 1 to 3 years before completely disappearing. In the early stage of the disease, the urine volume is significantly reduced, or even anuria (the total urine volume is less than 100ml). If there is no urine for more than 3 days, it means that the condition is serious. At this time, azotemia (blood urea nitrogen>7.14mmol/L) often occurs, indicating that renal function is damaged. During the recovery period of the disease, the urine volume gradually increases to more than 2000ml, and kidney function gradually returns to normal.
