Treatment for Types of Lupus Nephritis

Lupus Nephritis can be caused by three types of lupus. The first one is systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE), which has the most severe symptoms in the early stage among all types of lupus. The clinical manifestations are various and complicated, which can be more serious after the application of hormone and other medicines for a long time. The second type is discoid lupus erythematosus, which can be called DLE for short. It invades skin at first, which makes scarlet spot appear. The size is as big as yellow bean or green bean. The third type of lupus leads to damage in skin as well, which looks node or spots, and lies in the deep derma or subcutaneus adipose tissue. Damage of this kind of lupus can take place in any place such as genal area, buttocks, lower limbs and chest.
No matter where the damage is and which type of lupus it is, it may spread into other organs if not controlled well. When it influences kidney, lupus nephritis or lupus nephropathy will take place. Lupus nephritis or lupus nephropathy is autoimmune disease, which can be treated well with the help of immunotherapy, which can be divided into immune diagnosis, immune clearance, immune inhibition, immune tolerance, immune adjustment and immune protection. The immune disorder leads to the retention of immune complex both in blood circulation and on the kidney, which leads to the excessive immune reaction, thus causing damage to the nearby healthy or normal intrinsic cells. So immune clearance is necessary. After that, people with lupus nephritis should also apply medicine which can adjust and make the immune complex on the kidney discharge. Only in this way, can we let the further immune reaction stop. In this step, Chinese medicine is applied, which can benefit Qi and nourish blood.
After that, not only immune reaction will be stopped, but also damaged cells can be repaired. Chinese medicine can also increase the immunity, which can treat lupus nephritis fundamentally. Immunotherapy is the custom therapy in our Hospital, China.
