As one of the most common glomerulonephritis, IgA Nephropathy is considered to be an immune-complex mediated disorder. IgA Nephropathy refers to deposition of IgA Nephropathy (mainly) and other immune complex in mesangial area. IgA Nephropathy is not a simple disease for it has various manifestations and does not have fixed features in histology. According to Chinese medicine, if patients find the disease early, that is, they are clear about the symptoms of IgA Nephropathy, it is not difficult for them to treat the disease. So, what are the symptoms of IgA Nephropathy?
1. Macro-hematuria
30% to 50% of the IgA Nephropathy patients have macro-hematuria. Hematuria usually happens after pharyngitis and tonsillitis, which could happen within several to 24 hours after a cold, fatigue, vaccination, pneumonia and gastroenteritis. Macro-hematuria could remit spontaneously. The urine is brown without blood clot.
2. abnormal urinalysis
The clinical symptoms are micro-hematuria and proteinuria. Most of the patients are detected during physical examination or other check-up for other diseases. These type of patients have different clinical symptoms and pathological changes, whose prognosis is also different. Some patients can present hypertension and renal insufficiency.
3.Nephrotic Syndrome
Overall, Asians have a higher incidence than Westerners in terms of IgA Nephropathy patients getting NS, which is 10%∼17%. Nephrotic syndrome tends to happen to patients with serious pathological changes in glomeruli, in which many glomeruli are obsolescent with podocyte injured, mild interstium damaged or the crescent formed.
4. acute renal insufficiency
The incidence of acute renal insufficiency increases with age, which can be related to two types of pathological changes. One is that a lot of crescents are formed in glomeruli, and the other is a lot of red blood cell casts block the tubules during macro-hematuria. Some patients with acute renal insufficiency need hemodialysis.
5.chronic renal insufficiency
Renal insufficiency is, in most cases, the manifestation after a long-term course of IgA Nephropathy. Overt obsolescent glomeruli and the hardening of the kidney tubules are indicative of grim prognosis.
6.high blood pressure
A high percent of IgA Nephropathy patients start with hypertension as their initial symptom, which could also happen during the course. High blood pressure is factor leading to grim prognosis.

Diet Plays a Crucial Role in Managing FSGS kidney disease
For most patients, FSGS kidney disease will spend 5-20 years to develop into Renal Failure. But for patients with serious illness condition, this period only need 2-3 years. Steroid or other immunosuppressive medicines can eliminate the proteinuria, and improve the renal function in a certain degree.Although, Diet Plays a Crucial Role in Managing FSGSAlthough a proper diet can not cure FSGS, it actually plays a crucial role in managing the disease. Therefore, all the patients should keep a tract of what they eat for some foods may trigger a relapse of FSGS.
①The patients with FSGS kidney disease should limit the intake of junk/tinned/fried foods because these foods contain much more of oil, spices and salt. If there is too much sodium in body, it will cause or aggravate retention of fluid and sodium thus leading to weight gain and swelling. What’s worse, the fluid can get infiltrated into lung thus making it difficult to breath.
② Some patients with FSGS may keep a misunderstanding on the protein consumption. As they loss a mass of protein in urine every day so they should increase the daily protein intake, they think they should increase the protein intake. Actually, high amount of proteins can produce more metabolic products which can put much strain on kidneys. Therefore, the patients with FSGS should reduce daily protein consumption to 0.6 grams/kg body weight. As the salt concentration of fast foods is as high as sea water, the patients should remove them from their diet completely.
③ If the potassium level is too high in blood, it will affect the cardiac muscle thus triggering irregular heart beat and even heart failure. Therefore, it is very essential for the patients with FSGS to avid the high-potassium foods. The common foods high in potassium are as follows: dates, beans, seeds, nuts, dried apricots, dried prunes and raisins, coca powder and chocolate, red chili powder and avocados.
The above are the main dietary principles for patients with FSGS kidney disease. The patients should always keep a kidney friendly diet not only while on treatment for relapse, but also when they are on complete remission. If so, they will be able to reduce the relapse of FSGS.
However, for different disease conditions, there is slight difference on their diets. If you want to get some personalized suggestions, you can consult us on line.

Know about fsgs kidney disease (Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis)
FSGS kidney disease (Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis) is one of the most serious diseases of Nephrotic Syndrome. The disease is characterized as scarring affecting the filtering system (glomeruli) and resulting in the leakage of heavy protein in the urine. The kidney function decreases resulting from the disease, meanwhile, the medical condition usually progresses in the pretty rapid speed. Due to the rapid progression and serious consequences, plus, no effective treatments for the disease, make the disease hard to deal with.
Who is most likely to develop Focal Segmental Glomeruloslerosis?
Well, the disease strikes of all ages. By my experience, the disease attacks more often in black people than white ones, more frequent in men than in women. Apart from these risk factors, drug abuser, people with HIV and AIDS are more likely to suffer from the disease. Obesity, urinary tract infection and other reasons are also responsible for the occurrence of FSGS.
How is it treated?
It is pretty hard for us to treat a patient with unknown FSGS kidney disease, because we don’t know what kind of medications we should use. Therefore, most of the treatments for FSGS patients focus on dealing with their symptoms and some of its complications. Pills will be given to help control high blood pressure; diuretics are usually used to remove excess fluid so as to relieve the swelling. What’s more, medications help reduce their protein leakage will be prescribed too.
More specific treatments will be used to treat the disease since it is related to one’s immune system. Immunotherapy, under such circumstance, is right for the disease. We usually adopt blood purification techniques in the first place so as to clear out those immune complexes and other foreign matters. After favorable internal environment is created, then Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy will be adopted to regulate his own immune system fundamentally. Other treatments are going to be used too. If you are interested, ask our online doctor for details.

Routine and Featured Therapies for IgA Nephropathy
IgA Nephropathy, also known as Berger’s disease or IGAN, is an autoimmune kidney disease, and thus, Immunotherapy is the right choice. The disease is caused by a protein called IgA lodges in one’s filtering units of the kidneys--glomeruli. Consequently, deposited the immune complexes impair glomeruli and affect the kidney function progressively. More and more toxins and wastes buildup in human body results in the persistent damaged kidney function as time goes by. Half of the IgA Nephropathy patients will lead to End-stage Renal Failure when the illness becomes serious.
The routine therapy for treating IgA Nephropathy is immunosuppressive agent. The immunosuppressant includes cellular immune inhibitors, humoral immune inhibitors and others. Those medications have strong immune inhibition, sometimes, they work. But those drugs or treatments fail to function from time to time. Besides, they have many side-effects too.
How does Immunotherapy to treat IgA Nephropathy?
IgA Nephropathy is attributable to immune dysfunction. For abnormal activation of immune system, the immune system impairs the healthy renal tissues and cells.
In treating IgA Nephropathy, after the Immunotherapy are infused into the patients'body, they can differentiate into new cells to form healthy renal tissues. In this way, the kidney structure will be rebuilt. Moreover, Immunotherapy can stimulate the body to produce normal immune cells to rebuild the patients'immune system. Therefore, the patients will be able to avoid relapses of IgA Nephropathy completely.
Immunotherapy does not cause anti-rejection problem or side effects at all. Usually, it takes 6 months for the Immunotherapy to take effect in body. Since Immunotherapy is applied in treating Kidney Disease, approximately 85% of the patients have received successful treatment.

Why Choose Immunotherapy to Treat FSGS kidney disease
What are the types of FSGS kidney disease?
Primary and secondary Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis are the two types. In primary, the disease could develop as an isolated kidney disease, while in secondary, the disease can be caused by other reasons.
Why isn’t dialysis or kidney transplantation the best choice?
Dialysis and kidney transplantation have certain disadvantages and make them not the best choices. Dialysis brings with certain side-effects and has no good to boost one’s kidney function. To make things worse, it contributes to worsen one’s remaining kidney function because patients with ESRD would rely too much on dialysis and abandon his remaining function. Since we have already known the reason of dialysis, how about kidney transplantation?
Patients with FSGS kidney disease are not the best candidates to perform transplantation. Why? This is because those patients suffer from a high recurrence rate even after the surgery. The specific reason of high recurrence rate is unexplained, but it is believed that the disease is sort of connected with abnormal immune system and immune complexes. The primary disease would come back again even if the surgery is done.
Why is Immunotherapy better than those two conventional treatments?
Immunotherapy is not just one single treatment; instead, it is a combo of multiple treatments, which can boost the therapeutic effects as much as possible. Most importantly, Immunotherapy treats the disease from its root cause—the abnormal immune system, immune complexes and overactive inflammatory reaction.
Since Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis is proven to be an immune kidney disease, then IgM and C3 alexin can be found by immunofluorescence. Some may ask what are IgM and C3. Those two are immune complexes deposit in kidneys and trigger overactive inflammatory reaction. The disease can be treated completely only if immune complexes and immune system are cleared out or corrected.
Why dialysis and kidney transplantation fail?
Dialysis could just remove micro-molecules but couldn’t discharge IgM and C3 from blood. The transplantation, on the other hand, just replace kidney without clearing those harmful substances out, which explains why most patients with FSGS would suffer from recurring.
Immunotherapy obtains not just scientific tests, but advanced blood purification technique. On the basis of a right lab results, blood purification will be given subsequently, which is good for further treatments.

What does high creatinine level mean?
Dose high creatinine level meant dialysis? High creatinine level is usually related to kidney damages. Dialysis can keep patient’s life continue in the end stage of kidney disease. However, high creatinine level≠dialysis.
Creatinine is the metabolic wastes of muscle which should be filtered out by kidneys. High creatinine level can result from many triggers, such as intake of high protein food, strenuous sports and increase of muscle mass etc. However, if elevated creatinine keeps high level persistently, usually it indicates kidney dysfunction.
Not all kidney dysfunctions mean dialysis. Dialysis is recommended when kidneys rarely functions or patients suffer from extremely serious symptoms. Once creatinine elevates, it is an indicator that about 50% kidney functions have already gone. Usually, when creatinine level reaches 5~6, doctor will suggest patient to prepare for dialysis.
What should I do, if my creatinine level is high?
If your GFR is higher than 15, you are suggested to choose other alternatives to avoid dialysis. Dialysis is not necessary in this condition. Mainly there are two major treatments that help avoid dialysis by improve kidney functions.
● Chinese herbal medicine. Chinese herbal medicine was established, since 2500 years ago in ancient China. Chinese herbal medicine is famous for dilating blood vessels and dissolving stasis, which can help dredge renal blood vessels and improve renal Ishemia and Anemia. With more blood and oxygen, the damaged renal tissues will revive again to develop its functions.
● Immunotherapy. Immunotherapy is a kind of primary cell which can replace the kidney dead cells and tissues to improve kidney functions.

New Treatment for End Stage Renal Failure other than Dialysis
Renal Failure Treatment other than Dialysis,Dialysis is the main Renal Failure treatment. It plays a vital role in extending the patients’ life span and improving their life quality. However, once it starts, it is hard for the patients to get rid of it and they have to arrange their daily activities around dialysis. So, is there a better Renal Failure treatment other than dialysis?
Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is external therapy with Traditional Chinese Medicine, which is able to remedy CKD from root causes by protecting and regenerating the structures and functions of intrinsic renal cells fundamentally. Its significant efficacy brings new hope for patients with Kidney Disease, which draws increasing attention worldwide.
Tired of taking those western medicines which cause a lot of side effects to the patients, many kidney disease patients are thinking of trying some Traditional Chinese Medicines which are more natural and cause little side effects.
Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is the further development of the Traditional Chinese Medicines, which has a higher efficacy, and more convenient to apply.
At present, there is no other countries that have this treatment yet except its original place, China. So if you are searching a natural, safe, and side-effects-free treatment, you need to come to China for this therapy.
The medicines are prescribed according to individual disease condition, and then applied externally with the help of a special machine, called osmosis instrument at the back area of the patients. These medicines are processed into microns so they are more likely to be absorbed by the patients, so as to exert a greater function after they get into the kidney lesions.
