Natural Remedy for Treating Hypertension in Nephrotic Syndrome

What is the natural treatment for hypertension (high blood pressure) in Nephrotic Syndrome? After trying western medicine such as hypotensor and so on, which can not achieve better treatment, more and more patients with Nephrotic Syndrome start to turn to natural remedy for help, which has little side effect, in the hope of getting a recovery.
When it comes to high blood pressure or hypertension, doctors firstly will be concerned about whether it is primary one or secondary one which is caused by Nephrotic Syndrome or other kidney disease.
How does Nephrotic Syndrome cause hypertension (high blood pressure)? When there is damage in renal parenchyma and renal arteries, the renal tubules will get damaged and there will be hyaline in renal glomeruli, both of which will lead to the insufficiency of blood in the renal parenchyma, thus causing decreased amount of renal blood perfusion. In this case, kidney will secrete factors which can increase high blood pressure. Jaxtaglomerular cell will secrete a large amount of renin. Too much angiotensin will lead to high blood pressure. High blood pressure will in turn increase the degree of kidney disease, including Nephrotic Syndrome.
Therefore, after realizing the pathological mechanism, we should focus on the treatment based on it. Chinese Medicine in our Hospital can solve this problem, which is an innovation of natural remedy based on the traditional Chinese medicine. Compared with western medicines such as hormone and immunosuppressive agent, Chinese Medicine can do better in clearing immune complex. Secondly, the active materials in Chinese medicine can also supply qi and blood for the damaged kidney as well as increase the immune ability of patients with Nephrotic Syndrome. Last but not least, Chinese medicine can also prevent the other cells from being damaged. After all the damaged kidney intrinsic cells are repaired well, the above mentioned vicious circle will be stopped, thus stopping hypertension or high blood pressure consequently.
As a matter of fact, natural remedy is only a part of the systematic immunotherapy in our Hospital. Usually, the therapeutic effect will be better if patients with Nephrotic Syndrome apply the whole immunotherapy, which is the combination of western medicine such as the injection of glucocorticoid, Chinese Medicine and stem cell transplant.
