Patient's question:
Now I have kidney disease. I don't know which medicine is good to take, which medicine can cure kidney disease, how to treat kidney disease well? Is it better to treat kidney disease with traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine?Doctor's answer:
As of now, many hospitals, especially general hospitals, tend to favor hormone therapy for the treatment of kidney disease. The conventional hormones used for this condition can only serve an anti-inflammatory role, controlling the inflammatory response in a short period to prevent further damage to the kidney's intrinsic cells. Patients who are sensitive to hormones may achieve negative proteinuria within days or a month. However, this favorable condition can be disrupted once the hormone treatment is completed, or the condition may relapse when exposed to susceptible factors, making it a treatment that addresses symptoms rather than the root cause. It is crucial to choose the correct treatment method for kidney disease promptly to avoid delaying the condition. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) can be an option, such as Huadan Nephritis Granules. The pathogenesis of kidney disease is highly complex, and the formula of this medication contains a rich array of active ingredients with comprehensive mechanisms of action. The granule form is more easily absorbed, making it more effective in reducing proteinuria and hematuria while improving renal function. Additionally, if hormone therapy has already been administered, combining it with Huadan Nephritis Granules can not only alleviate the side effects of hormones but also facilitate their reduction.
