How effective is moxibustion for kidney disease?

Patient's question:

Can kidney disease be treated with moxibustion? How effective is it?

Doctor's answer:

What you mentioned as "kidney disease" is quite broad; it would be best to specify the exact diagnosis, such as nephrotic syndrome, glomerulonephritis, etc. If the diagnosis falls into this category, the specific condition needs to be analyzed accordingly. If it refers to general symptoms like kidney deficiency or lower back pain, acupuncture combined with moxibustion can be used for treatment, and the results are usually quite effective.
There are many triggers for pediatric kidney diseases. If a child is diagnosed with a kidney disease, parents need to cooperate with the doctor to start treatment immediately, assist with gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. The child should maintain a balanced diet and avoid stimulating or cold foods.
