Treatment for Lupus Nephritis in 2012

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus is autoimmune disease, about 90% of which can lead to damage in kidney. Symptoms of these diseases can affect many different body systems, including joints, skin, kidneys, blood cells, heart, and lungs.
To begin with, we should have a brief introduction why immune disease comes into being. As long as we live, our body will fight with the pathological factors such as bacteria and virus with immune system such as white blood cells to keep us healthy. The bacteria and virus are called antigen and the cells which defend are called antibody. The combination of antigen and antibody is called immune complex, which is usually called cycling immune complex.
In normal condition, the recycling immune complex flow through kidney together with blood circulation, deposit on kidney, and the intrinsic immune system can discharge them out. However, when the immune system is damaged, the immune complex cannot be discharged out, so they will deposit and lead to a series of excessive immune response.
In western countries, immune inhibiting is used such as hormones and immunosuppressive agent which can stop the excessive immune response for patients with Lupus Nephritis. However, as we mentioned in the above articles, when kidney disease takes place, immune complex has deposited in the kidney already, which means that there will be further immune reaction.
Accordingly, experts researched out immunotherapy by our own, which can be divided into 6 steps: immune diagnosis, immune inhibition, immune clearance, immune tolerance, immune adjustment, immune protection.
Compared with hormones and immunosuppressive agent in western medicine, we mainly introduce steps from immune clearance. In immune clearance steps, we mainly clear away the immune complex which lies in the blood with plasma exchange in particular. Here pay attention that in this step, we mainly use blood purification technology, which can only clear away those in blood and can not clear those deposit onto kidney.
In immune adjustment, immune protection steps, we mainly use Chinese medicine, which can improve the blood circulation, including micro-blood circulation and dissolve the blood stasis, and clear away the immune complex which deposit onto the kidney, thus stopping immune reaction eventually. In addition, stem cells are also applied, which can also increase the immunity as well as traditional Chinese medicine.
