When getting the information—having end stage of renal disease (ESRD), most
patients are very sad and disappointed about the result. Dialysis or kidney
transplant is the things they are considering. Do their kidneys really have no
hope to be healthy? Experts in our hospital always tell patients that urine is
the hope for patients with ESRD.
Why is urine the hope?
The major function of kidneys is filtering and forming urine. So as long as
patients can discharge urine, some of wastes and excessive water can be remove
by the dysfunctional kidneys. It also means that many glomeruli are also alive
and try their best to work. So we cannot give up these functioning cells.
Dialysis is the artificial kidney which is used to replace human kidneys to
filter wastes and excess water. Although it plays an important role to sustain
people’s lives, long-term dialysis would lead to wither and total dysfunction of
kidneys. Some patients thought dialysis could do the work and their own kidney
would do better after the rest. In fact, more and more kidney cells lose their
function and kidney will be destroyed in the end.
Thereby we should do our best to save the useful cells in your kidneys. In
our hospital, Immunotherapy has been worked out for end stage of renal disease
with a good curative effect.
Chinese medicine is used in immunotherapy. The whole body needs to be
regulated in order to keep a good immunity, which are the advantages of Chinese
herbs. It is known that all the organs can affect each other and if other organs
function well, it also will help reduce the burden of kidneys. The increased
immunity can resist the renal inflammation and keep the cells from damage.
Furthermore, Chinese herbs can provide many ingredients to help cells’ recovery.
So the damaged kidney cells can be restored and do their work. Immunotherapy is
adopted to repair kidney tissues and it is the only therapy to produce healthy
cells for kidney. Thereby it can greatly increase the kidney function or GFR.
Through this therapy, patients with end stage of renal disease are hopeful to
cast off dialysis to get a normal life.
