The treatment method for membranous nephropathy? We all know how important the kidney is to our body, so once we suffer from kidney disease, we should actively seek treatment. The kidney has different symptoms, so what treatment methods are required for membranous kidney disease? Let's take a look at the introduction below.
There are many patients who are not familiar with this disease, and there is controversy in the medical community regarding the treatment of this disease, as some patients may experience spontaneous remission several months or even years after the onset of the disease,
(1) Expert patients need to rest more and participate in outdoor activities appropriately in their daily lives. When nephrotic syndrome occurs, bed rest should be the main method to increase renal blood flow and facilitate diuresis. However, moderate activity should be ensured to prevent thrombosis and the occurrence of thrombosis complications. Gradually increase activity after the remission of nephrotic syndrome.
(2) Diet: When edema is obvious, a low salt diet should be used. Regarding protein intake, it is widely believed that limiting protein intake can delay the progression of renal function damage. Low protein diet combined with essential amino acid therapy can reduce proteinuria and protect renal function while ensuring patient nutrition.
(3) Diuretic treatment: Select and moderately use various diuretics according to the condition.
(4) Lipid-lowering treatment: Hyperlipidemia can promote glomerulosclerosis and increase the occurrence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular complications. In addition to changes in lipoprotein content, there are also changes in lipoprotein composition and apolipoprotein profile in hyperlipidemia with nephrotic syndrome. Therefore, recently there has been a greater emphasis on lipid-lowering treatment.
(5) Anticoagulant: This disease has a hypercoagulable state, which is related to multiple factors such as coagulation, changes in fibrinolytic factors, and blood concentration in nephrotic syndrome. The use of strong diuretics and long-term use of large amounts of glucocorticoids exacerbates this trend. Preventive use of anticoagulants is recommended for these patients.
(6) Reducing proteinuria: In addition to a low protein diet, the following drugs can also be used:
① Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) ② Non steroidal antipyretic and analgesic drugs: ③ Chinese medicine Tripterygium wilfordii also has a certain effect on lowering urinary protein.
(7) Immune Stimulant: Levamisole can stimulate T cell function and enhance immune regulation. The application of freeze-dried BCG vaccine in the treatment of refractory nephrotic syndrome has achieved good efficacy.
The treatment method for membranous nephropathy? The above are the conventional treatment methods for treating diseases. I hope the above content can help everyone. Experts remind patients and friends to actively seek treatment when discovering this disease, and we also need to learn more about this disease in our daily lives.
