Chinese Herbal Medicine for IgA Nephropathy

If you are suffering from IgA Nephropathy, the following information about pathogenesis and treatment for IgA Nephropathy can be helpful.
In fact, the pathological changes of IgA Nephropathy are caused due to IgA and immune complex deposits in mesangial area of the glomeruli. So renal ischemia and anoxia will appear. Gradually, part of the glomeruli become impaired or scarred, and even sclerosed finally. Glomeruli function as the filtering units of the kidneys and are in charging of cleaning the blood. With scarred glomeruli, big molecules like proteins and red blood cells will spill out into the urine, resulting in proteinuria and hematuria.Metabolic disorders can also appear, so wastes products like BUN, uric acid, creatine, etc will buildup within patient′s body.

Chinese herbs have long been used to treat many diseases in traditional Chinese medicine(TCM), and their curative effects are also significant. However, the decoction tastes bitter and long-term application will also cause digestive ailments.

To overcome the above incompetent sides of traditional Chinese herbs, nephrologists in our hospital create an innovative therapy-Traditional Chinese medicine iontophoresis with our own equipment. It is an external application. The Chinese herbs are micronized into granules which can be permeated into lesions directly with the help of modern osmosis technology.

Traditional Chinese medicine iontophoresis can remove the IgA and immune complex deposited in masangial area by improving blood circulation. Then the states of ischemia and anoxia will be remitted, and further damages to the glomeruli can be prevented. Moreover, Chinese herbal medicine can provide abundant micronutrients to repair the impaired or scarred glomeruli as well as improve overall immunity.
