I can understand this idea, because the treatment cost of kidney disease is too high, and the delay or frequent recurrence will cause great harm to the body, so people all hope for a radical cure.
Unfortunately, this is impossible.
In fact, you can understand this truth yourself: people who eat grain and grain have feelings of joy and sorrow, and can not be sick.
It is impossible to "cure"
The word "radical cure" has its own problems. What is "radical cure"? Literally, it means "root removal", but how to root out? The human body is already going through a process of decline. The so-called disease is just a variety of manifestations in this process. Therefore, only death can "cure" all kinds of diseases.
Therefore, it is impossible to treat once and never recur (except for some surgical diseases).
What do we mean by healing?
It is to block the progress of the disease, alleviate or eliminate various symptoms, so that the patient can return to normal life.
Criteria for judging the level of doctors
Since the purpose of treatment is to "block the progress of the disease, alleviate or eliminate various symptoms, and enable patients to return to normal life", then the criteria for judging the level of doctors are also out: those who can block the progress of the disease, and alleviate or eliminate various symptoms are high-level doctors; Low-level doctors are the ones who can only alleviate or eliminate various symptoms and can't do anything about the progress of the disease.
Not easy to understand? Let me give you an example:
What are the symptoms of kidney disease? Urine protein, urine occult blood, edema, creatinine rise, blood pressure rise
What is the reason for the progression of kidney disease? It is the continuous necrosis of renal cells.
In this way, you can understand why some patients have developed into uremia even though their urine protein, urine occult blood and creatinine are well controlled; I also understand why some patients have been treated once for many years.
For example, when you go to a hospital, the doctor checks your urine routine and finds that there is 3+in urine protein. Then he checks the renal function and finds that there is no abnormality in the renal function. Then he checks the liver function and finds that the albumin is reduced. Then he tells you that this is nephrotic syndrome and needs hormone.
When hormone is used, urine protein will disappear soon, and then? You will fall into a vicious circle of relapse → hormone → negative → relapse → hormone.
Nephrotic syndrome is only a group of symptoms, not a pathological type.
You were cheated by "symptomatic treatment"
Seeing all kinds of medical advertisements, they are promoting that they are "symptomatic treatment". The patients have been imperceptibly influenced and thought that the treatment should be so - they have been cheated!
What does "symptomatic treatment" mean? It is to suppress the symptoms, but what is the reason for the symptoms? Forget it?
Let's also talk about urinary protein. Urinary protein can be inhibited by hormones, cyclophosphamide and tripterygium wilfordii. But what should we do about the cause of urinary protein, that is, the damage of kidney cells?
Inhibition ≠ treatment
It is because the "elimination of symptoms" has become the mainstream of treatment that western drugs such as antibiotics and hormones will become popular. It is an abnormal phenomenon that the high price and temporary safety have become the connotation of treatment.
Therefore, whether the treatment you receive is "cure" or "cure" requires your careful understanding.
