MPGN type 2 stands for Membranoproliferative Glomerulonephritis type II. It
is also known as dense deposit disease (DDD). It affects more children than
adults. Approximately 50% of persons with type 2 MPGN develop Renal Failure 10
years after diagnosis and hyave to require dialysis or kidney transplant to
survive.
How does MPGN type 2 occur?
Most instances of MPGN type 2 are caused by other diseases or disorders,
including autoimmune disease such as systemic lupus erythematosis (SLE), chronic
infections like hepatitis B etc.
MPGN type 2 is an autoimmune disease, in which the immune system attacks
filters (glomeruli) in kidneys mistakenly. When the outside harmful substances
such s lupus virus, hepatitis B virus invade into body as antigens, the
antibodies in body fail to defeat them immediately for autoimmune disorder. As a
result, the antigens and antibodies bind to each other and form immune complexes
in blood and flow into kidneys through circulation.
Afterwards, the immune complexes attract inflammatory factors ceaselessly
thus impairing the filters in kidneys and causing mesangial cell proliferation.
If the immune complexes can not be removed and the inflammation keeps going on,
the kidneys will fail at a very fast speed.
How to prevent MPGN type 2 developing Renal Failure?
As mentioned above, the patients may develop Renal Failure within several
years after the diagnosis. It is urgent for the patients to receive proper
treatment as early as possible.
In China, the combination of Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy and
Immunotherapy is applied to treat MPGN type 2 and has showed an enormous
effect.
The therapeutic mechanism of the therapy is as flows:
Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy:
1. Dilate blood vessels: It can improve the microcirculation in kidneys to
relieve the renal ischemia and anoxia.
2. Anti-inflamation: It can reduce the inflammatory factors to infiltrate
into kidneys. Hence, it can prevent further damage to mesangial cells.
3. Degradation: It can degrade the immune complexes in membrane and mesangial
area. Finally, the degraded immune complexes will be passed out of body in
urine.
As a result, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can make a favorable
environmental for repairing the impaired kidney cells.
Immunotherapy
Immunotherapy refers to infusion of healthy cells into the body of the
patients with MPGN type 2. Immunotherapys are a class of primitive cells with
potentials of differentiation. In right body condition, they can differentiate
into new cells with specialized function to replace the diseased cells to
function.
After Immunotherapy are infused into body, they can differentiate into new
kidney cells with the help of inducing agents to replace the impaired and
necrotic cells to function. As a result, the kidneys will be restored very
well.
Moreover, Immunotherapy can stimulate the body to produce normal immune cells
to rebuild the new immune system. Hence, it will be able to eliminate the
relapse problem of MPGN type 2.
