Before we talk about how chinese medicine helps MPGN patients avoid dialysis, let’s figure out the following items.
1. definition of MPGN
MPGN is short for Mesangial Proliferative Glomerular Nephritis, which is caused by an abnormal immune response. Deposits of antibodies build up in a part of the kidneys called the glomerular basement membrane. This membrane helps filter waste and extra fluid from the blood.
2. Symptoms of MPGN
The changes in this membrane lead disrupt the body's ability to filter urine. Protein and fluid leak out of the blood vessels into body tissues, leading to swelling (edema). Nitrogen waste products may build up in the blood (azotemia) because of poor kidney functioning. Symptoms can include: 1) Blood in the urine; 2) Dark urine (smoke, cola, or tea colored); 3) Cloudy urine; 4) Decrease in urine volume; 5) Swelling of any part of the body; and, 6) Changes in mental status such as decreased alertness or decreased concentration.
3. prognosis of MPGN
If kidney fails, waste will stay in the body. Over time, dialysis must be applied to clear away the toxins. MPGN may present in several forms. It may be seen as acute nephritic syndrome, nephrotic syndrome, or an abnormal urinalysis without symptoms.
Possible complications of MPGN include: 1) Acute renal failure; 2) Acute nephritic syndrome; 3) Nephrotic syndrome; and, 4) Chronic renal failure. Generally, after 10 years, dialysis may eventually be required to manage kidney failure.
Chinese medicine for help and Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy has been worked out in our hospital. This therapy is an external applicant. The Chinese herbs are super-finely shattered, put into little bags and taken under the back of patients. With the help of devices and penetrating fluid, the herbs ingredients can be permeated into the kidney lesion.
The Chinese medicine can degrade the deposit sediment and discharge them from the body through dilating blood vessels and accelerate blood vessels. Furthermore, patients can see the effect only after two weeks’ treatment for they can find some floc substances in their urine which is the deposit sediment. If you want to have an effective treatment from the root, you can have a try for MPGN and you will get a good effect.
