“Diagnosed with IgA Nephropathy. Protein leakage in urine. What is the possible treatment?” Though protein leakage does not cause any discomforts, it will affect your prognosis greatly. Now go on reading to find a way out.

Western medicine

-If your proteinuria is slight, for example, less than 1g/24h, ACEI or ARBs can be used to reduce it. You may doubt that why we use anti-hypertensive medicine. Those two kinds of medicines have many functions. They can decrease protein leakage by reducing blood pressure in kidneys. They can also protect your kidneys from being damaged.

-If your proteinuria is massive, for example, over 3.5g/24h, steroids or immunosuppressants have to be used to inhibit renal inflammation and decrease proteinuria. In short-term, they are helpful, but in the long run, their side effects will emerge. And their disadvantages will outweigh their advantages.

Because the above medicines are only stopgap measures, proteinuria comes back frequently.

Systemic treatment

After years of research and clinical practice, Shijiazhuang Hetaiheng Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine develops a systemic treatment. It is Toxin-Removing Treatment, also known as Detoxification Therapy. It is made up of 9 therapies, and those therapies work together to set up a good internal environment for kidney self-healing and other medication application. For example, double plasma exchange therapy is used to cleanse the polluted blood thoroughly. Cytokine infusion therapy is to eliminate cytokines that can trigger immunological stress reaction in the blood and relieve renal inflammation so as to control the disease from worsening. And negative oxygen ion therapy is to eliminate toxins from the cells. After about one week’s treatment, swelling will vanish. Massive sediments will appear in urine. After about half month’s treatment, proteinuria will reduce or even turn negative. After about one month’s treatment, your disease will be under control, and renal function will get improved. With treatment going on, both immune system and kidney condition will get strengthened, thereby the disease won’t relapse easily.
