Patient's question:
Last March, during a health check-up, proteinuria was detected, and a kidney biopsy at the hospital confirmed it as stage 3 lupus. Treatment history and effectiveness: Later, I was referred to the nephrology department for follow-up treatment and was prescribed Sirolimus, FK506, Prednisone, Sifrolimus, calcium supplements, and Telmisartan tablets. Recently, I have noticed some redness on my face and a few light coffee-colored spots on my neck. I went to the rheumatology department, and the doctor said it doesn't resemble lupus and prescribed Fenofibrate for me.Doctor's answer:
In your case, it is generally a more serious condition, and it is recommended that you have a check-up before starting treatment. The spots on your neck are likely lupus. For this condition, it is advised that you visit a dermatologist for a thorough examination and treatment. It is recommended to take some traditional Chinese herbal decoctions such as Qingre Dihuang Decoction, Buzhong Yiqi Decoction, Jisheng Shenqi Wan, and Shengmai Yin, along with some Western medicine for treatment. In daily life, it is important to maintain a good mood, as a positive attitude can greatly help in the recovery of the disease.
