How to Reduce Protein in Urine Due to Nephrotic Syndrome (NS)

Healthy kidneys are responsible for cleansing our blood. The kidney is made up of millions of small filtering units-glomeruli. In these filtering units, waste products and excess fluid pass through the filter and are removed into the urine, whereas the substances that are useful to the body like proteins, blood cells, etc don't pass the filter and remain in the blood.

Nephrotic Syndrome is an immunological disease caused due to low immunity or abnormal immune system. Patient's immune system fails to defends the body against what it perceives to be foreign or dangerous substances. In this condition, immune complex will be formed after the germs that invaded into the body bind with the antibodies produced by the immune system.

There are special epitopes in the kidneys that attract the immune complex, so more and more immune complexes will get deposited in the kidneys, causing damage to the filters and the glomeruli become leaky. This causes a loss of protein into urine (proteinuria).

How to reduce protein in urine due to NS?

Once people with NS detect protein in urine, they should take prompt treatment. If the underlying cause is not eliminated, the kidneys may be damaged further. Treating proteinuria is one way to maintain a healthy kidney.

Immunotherapy is available to cure protein in urine:

▪ New immunosuppressive drugs --restrain the abnormal immune response;

▪ Immune tolerance -- avoid further kidney damage;

▪ Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy -- promote renal blood circulation, eliminate the deposits of immune complex in glomeruli, and accelerate the kidney repair;

▪ Immunotherapy -- restore the kidney function and rebuild the immune system.
