Poor Urine output and Lupus Nephritis

Poor urine output makes Lupus Nephritis patients anxious. Do not worry. As long as we figure out the reason, we can take measures to treat it.
1. With the development of Lupus Nephritis, renal function is damaged, which makes the urine amount reduce, the diseases of which are such as acute renal glomerular nephritis, renal tumor, renal failure. If poor urine is caused by the above reasons, it indicates that the condition is serious.
2. When the blood which flows into kidney reduces, or when Lupus Nephritis patients have bleeding due to wound, shock, heart failure, and so on, patients can also suffer from renal failure, and have poor urine.
3. If Lupus Nephritis patients suffer from block of urinary tract, and patients don’t solve it in time, with time passing by, there will be water in renal pelvis, thus causing poor urine output.
Patients with Lupus Nephritis with poor urine should have a test about the serum creatinine, which is a relatively scientific index which can show how renal function is damaged. In addition, if it is convenient, patients can also have an ECT test, which is even more scientific diagnosis for patients with renal disease.
If it is caused by renal failure, we should treat it as kidney disease. In our hospital, we have immunotherapy for Lupus Nephritis is an auto-immune disease. In renal failure stage, patients have red blood cells, white blood cells and protein in urine, high blood pressure, rash and so on.
The immunotherapy can be divided into 6 steps: immune diagnosis, immune clearance, immune inhibition, immune tolerance, immune adjustment and immune protection.
Immune diagnosis can help us find out where the immune complex, the amount of immune complex, which can also supply an evidence for the treatment plan for the doctors in clinic.
Immune clearance is applied, such as blood dialysis, blood filtration, blood perfusion and plasma exchange, etc. For patients with Lupus Nephritis, they should choose plasma exchange in particular for plasma exchange can change the blood, thus clearing away the immune complex.
Immune adjustment and immune protection is operated by the application of Chinese Medicine and stem cells, etc, which can improve the blood circulation, dissolve the stasis, clear away the immune complex and increase the immunity.
After these, renal function can revive and poor urine can relieve.
