Lupus Nephritis: Say Good Bye to Severe Swelling

“Because of Lupus Nephritis, I had many symptoms such as severe swelling, insomnia, nausea and vomiting. Before coming to this hospital, I never thought of what to do. The only thing I could do was to wait for death. Thanks for the great Chinese medicine, and thanks for doctors and nurses here. Without them, I can not stand here and talk with you.” Mrs.Lin told me with smile.

Mrs.Lin is 41 years old. Seven years ago, she was diagnosed with Lupus Nephritis stage 5, and afterwards she had joint pain, fever and red spots on skin. 5 months ago she found that she had severe swelling in her whole body, which made her hardly walk, so she can only lie on bed. When she came to our hospital, she sat on wheelchair.

Our doctor arranged her to do a series of tests. Test report showed that her blood pressure was 180/120mmHg, proteinuria was 3+, occult blood was 1+, and weight was 59.8kg. She was diagnosed with Lupus Nephritis stage 5, renal anemia, and renal high blood pressure. To ensure that she can get effective treatment, we invited renal experts for a consultation and make a treatment plan including plasma exchange, diuretics and Chinese medicine.

After about 15 days’ treatment, her swelling became relieved. Nausea and vomiting was improved a lot. Under the guidance of our doctors and nurses, she felt better and better. After about 20 days’ treatment, her blood pressure was controlled at 130/90 mmHg, and urine protein was reduced 1+. Now her Lupus Nephritis was controlled very well, and her swelling disappears completely.

If you are also troubled by Lupus Nephritis and severe swelling, you can try Chinese medicine. For more information on our hospital and our treatment, please leave a message below or contact online doctor.
