Lupus Nephritis can also be called SLE, a kind of kidney damage or kidney disorder which is caused by the spread of lupus in the body. In normal condition, people have 2000 to 2500 ml urine in 24 hours. However, for patients with Lupus Nephropathy, they can have less than 400 ml urine with 24 hours in the advanced stage of SLE, which is called poor urine.
Why does poor urine take place on patients with Lupus Nephritis? As we know, kidney has an important function: filtration. It can filtrate blood, thus causing urine every day after the reabsorption of renal tubules. After kidney is damaged, the filtration function will also be damaged accordingly, thus causing poor urine output, which usually takes place at the advanced stage of Lupus Nephropathy.
Can poor urine output be improved? Of course. Please do not worry. As long as there is urine, we can take measure to increase the renal glomerular filtration rate.
What should Lupus Nephropathy patients with poor urine do if they want to treat in our Hospital? Firstly, patients should have a systematic examination such as blood test, urine test, ECT and so on, which can show some index such as serum creatinine, GFR, etc, which can give us a general conclusion. In addition, they should also have an immune diagnosis so as to let doctors know how much the damage is, etc. Secondly, after immune diagnosis, patients with poor urine come into immune clearance stage, blood purification especially plasma exchange is applied, which can help clear away the immune complex and create a cleaner environment for the next steps. Next, patients will receive immune adjustment and immune protection, in which, Chinese Medicine and stem cells are applied, which can not only repair the damaged intrinsic cells but also increase the immunity, thus increasing GFR and dissolving poor urine output fundamentally.
