Alternative Treatments for FSGS Kidney Disease

FSGS Kidney Disease, or Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis, is a kind of autoimmune disease. In this disease, the 'glomeruli', the tiny structures which filter the blood, become sclerosed. The general cause is immunological, which means immune dysfunction. Is there any effective therapy to rectify the immune dysfunction?

Nearly 95% of kidneys diseases occur due to abnormal immune system and low immune ability. In this case, the harmful foreign substances cannot be removed after they invade into our body. After combining with antibodies produced by the immune system, immune complex can be formed, which will circulate in the blood and then get deposited in the epithelia of glomeruli. With gradual accumulation of immune complex, our kidneys are damaged. Both the onset and progression of FSGS kidney disease are quick, and many patients will lead to Renal Failure during some years.
