Patient's question:
Recently, my appetite has been poor, and I've been experiencing some swelling in my body. I feel completely exhausted. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it was kidney disease. Is there a connection between this and lupus nephritis?Doctor's answer:
Lupus nephritis is a relatively serious disease. Due to systemic lupus erythematosus causing severe kidney damage, it has a significant impact on the body. It may lead to eyelid swelling, positive protein in urine, and reduced urination, which can affect the body to a certain extent. For lupus nephritis, hormone drugs are commonly used for treatment, and it is beneficial to combine them with traditional Chinese medicine and Chinese herbal medicine. It is important to prevent colds in daily life.
