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 see a negative turn in their urine protein levels within days or a month. However, this positive state can be easily disrupted once hormone treatment is discontinued, or the condition may relapse under susceptible factors, making it a superficial treatment that does not address 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 a viable option, such as Huadan Nephritis Granules. The pathogenesis of kidney disease is highly complex, and the formula of this medicine 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 help in tapering them off.
