Patient's question:
I have had lupus nephritis for two years, and it has been fluctuating between good and bad. Recently, I noticed high levels of protein in my urine. Hello, what kind of treatment should be implemented for lupus nephritis patients?Doctor's answer:
Based on the main symptoms and signs you described, as well as the relevant conditions you mentioned, it is speculated that there are several possible aspects to consider: first, treatment for the cause; second, symptomatic relief. Treatment plans should be tailored to the individual. Lupus nephritis varies in severity and has multiple types, and different treatment approaches should be adopted for different types. It is recommended that you visit a hospital for relevant tests to confirm the diagnosis, and then seek combined traditional Chinese and Western medical treatment. Lupus nephritis is an autoimmune complex-mediated nephritis. Generally, it is believed that if the glomerular structure is normal or only slightly inflamed, anti-inflammatory drugs can be used for treatment. Do not fear the disease and always maintain a positive mood. Avoid sun exposure and ultraviolet radiation, pay attention to preventing colds, and minimize infections and other infectious diseases.
