Patient's question:
Beijing Taitan Nephropathy Hospital My wife was diagnosed with nephropathy two years ago. She has been treated in local hospitals, but there has been no significant improvement. Recently, I want to take her to Beijing for a check-up. I heard from a friend that Beijing Taitan Nephropathy Hospital has good results. Today, I am here to consult about what the treatment plan is for Beijing Taitan Nephropathy Hospital?Doctor's answer:
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has become a relatively common disease in clinical practice today. Many people do not pay enough attention to treatment, which leads to great suffering and inconvenience for themselves. Renal experts explain that the current treatment of kidney disease primarily adopts an integrated diagnosis and treatment plan combining traditional Chinese and Western medicine. Below, we provide a detailed introduction:### I. Characteristics of Renal Cases Treated by Hospital Group
As the largest renal hospital group in China, Hospital Group has observed the following characteristics in the renal cases it treats in recent years:
- Patients come from all over the country
- Over 95% of patients have chronic kidney disease, with complex and severe conditions, and the disease progresses slowly and is difficult to cure
- Most patients have been treated locally or in other hospitals
- A majority of patients are repeat patients
- A significant number of patients have been inappropriately treated with glucocorticoids and cytotoxic drugs before admission
Analyzing these conditions, we believe that the main factors or causes of kidney disease are immune dysfunction. The key issues leading to severe, recurrent, or worsening conditions are delayed detection, late diagnosis, and inappropriate medication.
To address this, we have developed an integrated treatment approach combining traditional Chinese and Western medicine based on the theory of yin-yang and the five elements in traditional Chinese medicine, as well as the concept of holism, combined with modern immunological balance theory. We have timely applied the latest research findings on kidney disease to propose a natural immune balance system, emphasizing early detection and rational treatment to regulate immunity and balance yin-yang throughout the process. This approach has achieved significant results, greatly reducing the recurrence of kidney disease.
### II. What is the Natural Immune Balance System?
The Natural Immune Balance System is a unique and distinctive treatment system for kidney disease developed by a team of over 100 renal experts from Hospital Group through 20 years of dedicated research and clinical practice. Its main contents are as follows:
#### (1) Theoretical Basis
Guided by the principles of yin-yang and the five elements, holism, and meridian theory in traditional Chinese medicine, combined with modern immunological balance theory, the system emphasizes the integration of four diagnostic methods and syndrome differentiation for treatment. It adopts methods such as reinforcing the healthy and eliminating the pathogenic, promoting blood circulation to remove stasis, dredging meridians, detoxifying, external treatment for internal diseases, and bidirectional regulation of immune status. These methods aim to promote reticuloendothelial system function, clear inflammatory mediators, restore effective renal circulation, counteract the side effects of Western medicine, and ultimately improve clinical symptoms of kidney disease, reduce glomerular inflammation, alleviate or eliminate abnormal urinalysis results (proteinuria or hematuria), improve residual glomerular function, and delay the progression of renal failure.
#### (2) Basic Methods
1. Classic Formulas
Emphasizing the holistic concept of traditional Chinese medicine, which is the core of the discipline, and syndrome differentiation, which is its essence, the Natural Immune Balance System has summarized 20 years of clinical experience in treating kidney disease. Based on individual patient conditions, geographical and seasonal factors, and the principles of syndrome differentiation, the system has developed a series of renal formulas, empirical prescriptions, or tailored treatments. These have achieved remarkable results in treating kidney disease.
2. Balanced Liquid Infusion
Focusing on syndrome differentiation, the system recognizes that deficiency of healthy qi and low defensive function are key mechanisms in the development of kidney disease, while stagnation of dampness and blood stasis are critical factors. Only by tailoring individualized treatment plans—whether by reinforcing healthy qi, eliminating pathogens, or addressing both root and symptoms—can the renal balance liquid be effectively administered intravenously to regulate qi flow, correct immune dysfunction, improve renal inflammation, and promote renal function recovery.
3. External Treatment for Internal Diseases
Valuing detoxification and meridian dredging, the system incorporates the theory of meridians to develop comprehensive external treatment methods for kidney disease. These methods aim to stimulate healthy qi, detoxify, dredge meridians, and promote blood circulation, significantly enhancing the body’s self-healing capacity, correcting metabolic disorders, and effectively treating various kidney diseases while preventing and reducing acute and chronic complications. Examples include superconducting balance therapy, superconducting ion bath, ultrasonic light bath therapy, ultrasonic acupuncture therapy, cupping therapy, and colonic dialysis. Clinical observations show that these methods effectively improve renal circulation, enhance metabolism, correct abnormal urinalysis results, and delay the progression of renal failure.
#### (3) Scope of Application
This therapy is applicable to conditions such as acute and chronic glomerulonephritis, IgA nephropathy, nephrotic syndrome, diabetic nephropathy, hypertensive nephropathy, lupus nephritis, purpura nephritis, hepatitis B-associated nephropathy, acute and chronic pyelonephritis, occult nephritis, interstitial nephritis, drug-induced kidney damage, kidney stones, and acute or chronic renal failure.
### III. Prevention Before Illness and Prevention of Progression
The fundamental principle of the Natural Immune Balance System is to prevent illness before it occurs and prevent its progression once it has developed.
Prevention before illness refers to taking various preventive measures before the disease develops to avoid its occurrence. Prevention of progression, on the other hand, involves early diagnosis and treatment once the disease has developed to prevent its worsening or spread.
As the Suwen·Four Seasons and Spirit Regulation states:
"The wise do not treat illness that has already developed; they treat it before it arises. They do not quell chaos that has already formed; they prevent it before it does."
"Treating illness after it has fully developed is like digging a well when one is thirsty or forging a spear in the middle of a battle—too late."
In line with the traditional Chinese medical concept of "treating illness before it arises," the Natural Immune Balance System places great emphasis on the prevention and diagnosis of kidney disease. It advocates maintaining mental well-being, regular exercise, a disciplined lifestyle, and periodic health checks to reduce the incidence of kidney disease.
Traditional Chinese medicine holds that the occurrence of disease relates to both pathogenic factors (external pathogens) and deficiency of healthy qi. External pathogens are important conditions for disease development, while deficiency of healthy qi is the intrinsic cause. As the ancients said:
"When healthy qi is abundant within, external pathogens cannot invade" (Suwen·)
"When external pathogens gather, the body must be deficient" (Suwen·)
Modern medicine recognizes that most kidney diseases are immune-related and closely linked to repeated infections causing immune damage to the kidneys.
Based on the theory of integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine, experts in the Natural Immune Balance System emphasize that healthy individuals should maintain a positive mood, engage in appropriate exercise, eat a balanced diet, follow a regular routine, avoid overexertion, and thus regulate qi flow and blood circulation to strengthen healthy qi and prevent infections and kidney disease.
Early detection and diagnosis are crucial to the Natural Immune Balance System. Recent statistics show that the incidence of kidney disease in China is approximately 10%. In the early stages, most patients show no obvious symptoms, often leading to neglect. Therefore, the system advocates strengthening public awareness of kidney disease knowledge, paying attention to common symptoms (e.g., eyelid swelling, foamy urine, tea-colored urine, elevated blood pressure, oliguria, anuria, nocturia, anemia, nausea, fatigue, poor appetite), and undergoing regular urine tests and renal function or ultrasound examinations. If abnormalities are detected, timely diagnosis in a formal hospital is essential to avoid misdiagnosis.
Chronic renal failure is a severe stage of various kidney diseases, often irreversible pathologically. Blood dialysis and kidney transplantation remain important treatment methods in modern medicine, imposing significant financial and psychological burdens on patients and their families. Therefore, we urge kidney patients to seek early diagnosis and standardized treatment to delay the deterioration of renal function.
### IV. Holistic Concept and Balancing Yin-Yang
The holistic concept holds that the human body is an organic whole, with the five zang-fu organs, limbs, and other tissues or organs playing distinct roles but all contributing to the body’s overall function. Physiologically, they are interconnected, and pathologically, they influence each other. Pathological changes in one part can reveal the overall condition of qi, yin, and yang.
The system also emphasizes the harmony between humans and nature. Humans live in nature, which provides essential conditions for survival, while natural environments constantly affect the body, which in turn adapts to these changes.
Thus, the guiding principle of the Natural Immune Balance System is to tailor treatments based on individual, geographical, and seasonal factors, regulate yin-yang, and restore dynamic balance.
### V. Regulating Spleen and Stomach, Dispelling Phlegm and Stasis, and Harmonizing
The Natural Immune Balance System places great importance on regulating qi flow, dispelling phlegm and stasis, harmonizing ascending and descending functions, and promoting smooth qi circulation.
Qi flow’s ascending and descending movement is the foundation of human life activities. If this movement ceases, life ends. As the Suwen·Six Microcosmic Principles states:
"Without ascending and descending, there can be no growth, development, aging, or decline. Without ascending and descending, there can be no growth, transformation, or storage. Thus, ascending and descending and entering and exiting are present in all things."
In chronic renal failure, kidney qi declines, qi transformation is impaired, and urination and defecation are disrupted, leading to the accumulation of phlegm, dampness, and stasis. These accumulate in the spleen and stomach, impairing digestion and absorption, causing dysfunction in ascending (clear) and descending ( turbid) functions. This, in turn, affects other organs, leading to various complications.
Experts in the Natural Immune Balance System believe that the spleen and stomach are the hub of ascending and descending functions, while phlegm and stasis are the root causes of disease. Based on this, they have developed a series of renal failure formulas focused on aromatic detoxification, qi regulation, blood stasis removal, and spleen and stomach conditioning to restore ascending and descending functions. When the spleen and stomach function properly, qi flow is harmonized. The small intestine can then separate clear and turbid substances: clear qi rises to the spleen and ascends, while turbid qi descends from the intestines. A strong spleen and stomach support renal qi transformation, and clinical observations show significant efficacy.
