How to Improve the Prognosis of Lupus Nephritis

Lupus Nephritis is one of the most severe complications of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). With the improvement and general medical care, the prognosis of Lupus Nephritis has improved significantly both in renal involvement and overall survival.

The prognosis of Lupus Nephritis is mainly related to the complications of renal disease and the therapy you choose.

Complications

If uncontrolled, the kidney function will decline progressively. It will lead to anemia, uremia and electrolytes imbalances etc. Also, high blood pressure may occur which will increase your risk of developing coronary artery diseases and cerebrovascular diseases. Some researches show that Lupus Nephritis can increase the risk for morbidity from ischemic heart disease.

In many cases, the patients may die of complications before the kidneys fail completely.

Therefore, to improve your disease prognosis, you should take proper treatments to control the diseases such as high blood pressure medications, injection of hemopoietin etc.

Therapy

Immunosuppressive agents and hormone can only relieve your disease, not eliminate its root cause. What’s worse, the medications can increase the risk of infections, vascular necrosis, high blood pressure, diabetes etc. These diseases will certainly influence the prognosis of Lupus Nephritis.

In our hospital, the combination therapy-Immunotherapy and Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is applied to treat the disease.

Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy aims at regulating your immune system and repairing the impaired nephrons. Once the immune process is corrected and the nephrons are restored very well, your symptoms will disappear afterwards.

Immunotherapy is a brand-new therapy. If a large part of nephrons are necrotic, they should be placed with new ones. Immunotherapys have infinite potentials of differentiation and proliferation, hematopoietic support, immune regulation and other features.

Immunotherapys are able to differentiate into renal functional cells and red blood cells to replace the necrotic ones in kidneys. Therefore, Immunotherapy has an excellent effect on repairing and rebuilding the renal function.


Once the kidneys are restored very well, the complications related to it will also recover. As a result, the prognosis of Lupus Nephritis will improve significantly.
