Stage 3 is a watershed for the progression of Diabetic Nephropathy. If the
patients can receive proper treatment, the disease can be reversed. If left
untreated, it will develop into ESRD in a short time. So, how to improve its
prognosis and stop its progression?
In stage 3, the albumin in urine increases obviously and blood pressure
begins to rise. These are two factors in aggravating renal function. To minimize
their influence on prognosis of Diabetes, the patients should adopt the
following measures:
1. Control blood glucose level strictly.
2. No matter the patients have high blood pressure or not, they should be
recommended to use ACEI or ARB to prevent blood pressure rising. If high blood
pressure has occurred, they should take some other medications along with ACEI
and ARB to control blood pressure below 130/80 mmHg.
3. To reduce albumin leakage, the patients should reduce the protein intake
and restrict its intake to 0.8 grams/kg per body weight per day.
4. If edema occurs, they should limit salt intake less than 3 grams per
day.
The above measures matter a lot in improving prognosis of Diabetic
Nephropathy. However, they are not enough to stop the disease progression at
all. Immunotherapy has been applied to restore impaired kidneys and improve
renal function and has showed a remarkable therapeutic effect.
Immunotherapys are unspecialized cells with potentials of differentiation and
self-renewing. They are ideal seed cells and can restore impaired organs and
tissues.
After they are injected into the patients’ body, the injured sites release
signals to attract the Immunotherapy to travel there. Stimulated by the injured
cells and environment, the Immunotherapy will differentiate into new cells. With
development, the new cells will become specialized to transform into new kidney
tissues and blood vessels.
Finally, the kidneys will be restored very well and the patients will get rid
of the risk of ESRD, dialysis or kidney transplant.
