Question
Now that I have kidney disease, I’m not sure what medication to take, what medication can cure kidney disease, and how to effectively treat kidney disease? Is traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine better for treating nephritis?
Answer
At present, many hospitals, especially general hospitals, tend to prefer hormone therapy for treating nephritis. The conventional hormones used to treat this disease can only have an anti-inflammatory effect, controlling the inflammatory response in the short term to prevent further damage to the kidney’s intrinsic cells. Patients sensitive to hormones may see a negative proteinuria within a few days or a month. However, this good condition can be destroyed once the hormone therapy is completed, or the condition may recur under susceptible factors. This is a method that treats the symptoms but not the root cause. It is crucial to choose the correct treatment method for nephritis in a timely manner to avoid delaying the disease. You can opt for traditional Chinese medicine treatment for kidney disease, such as Huadan Nephritis Granules. The pathogenesis of nephritis is very complex. The formula of this medicine is rich in effective ingredients with a comprehensive mechanism of action. The granule form is easier to absorb and can more effectively reduce proteinuria and hematuria, improving kidney function. Moreover, if hormone therapy has already been administered, combining it with Huadan Nephritis Granules not only reduces the toxic and side effects of hormones but also helps in reducing the dose of hormones.
