Children with Nephrosis Can Retrieve a Normal Life

Nephrotic Syndrome is also known as Nephrosis characterized with a mass of protein in urine, blood protein level, retention of fluid and an increased level of cholesterol in the blood. It is commonly seen among children. If untreated, the children with Nephrosis are very likely to have frequent infections, malnutrition and even Renal Failure. Therefore, it is very important for the parents to have the children treated as early as possible once they are diagnosed with Nephrosis.

Nephrosis is an autoimmune kidney disorder, in which the immune system attacks kidneys mistakenly.

In normal case, the immune system produces antibodies to fight foreign pathological substances such as bacteria and virus or other agents that can cause disease. Collectively all these agents which make body form antibodies against them are called as antigens.

However, in some cases, the immune system is activated improperly. The antibodies fail to defeat the antigens immediately when they invade into body. As a result, the antigens and antibodies bind to each other in blood circulation and form very large immune complexes.

These immune complexes will flow into kidneys and deposit in the filters (glomeruli) of kidneys. The body activates an inflammatory response to clear up the immune complexes. Finally, the inflammation can impair the glomeruli thus leading to Nephrosis.

Nephrosis is a complex immunological disease. The conventional treatments can not make the children get a satisfying therapeutic effect. The clinical experience has proved that immunotherapy helps significantly towards better treatment of Nephrosis in children.

So, how does immunotherapy work and what to expect after immunotherapy treatment?
1. Immunotherapy aims at regulating autoimmune process.

2. It can control protein leakage and relieve other symptoms of Nephrosis by restoring the impaired glomeruli.

3. By enhancing the children’s immunity, it can stop the incidence of complications of Nephrosis such as infections, colds etc.

4. Immunotherapy aims at recovering the self-healing ability of the body. It does not have any side effects on children at all.


Immunotherapy can help the children with Nephrosis regain the normal immune system and restore the impaired glomeruli. Therefore, the children can recover from the disease fundamentally.
