Chronic nephritis causes damage to inherent kidney cells due to various reasons, resulting in dysfunction of glomerular filtration function. A large amount of protein that could not have leaked out is excreted with urine. Urinary routine test indicators show positive "+", "++" or more urine protein. Therefore, the treatment of chronic nephritis, especially for proteinuria, needs to start with repairing damaged inherent kidney cells. After more than 200 cases of chronic nephritis treated with micronized traditional Chinese medicine, it was found that by repairing damaged inherent kidney cells, especially residual glomerular epithelial cells, the corresponding glomerular selective filtration function can also be repaired. Once the selective filtration function is repaired, the function of preventing protein leakage can be restored. So as long as the damaged epithelial cells are repaired properly, the leakage of urine protein in patients will gradually decrease. The repair of damaged glomerular epithelial cells is a long process with certain objective repair laws. Therefore, the disappearance of proteinuria is the long-term treatment effect of micro traditional Chinese medicine blocking therapy.
Due to chronic glomerulonephritis, abbreviated as chronic nephritis, it refers to the basic clinical manifestations of proteinuria, hematuria, hypertension, and edema. The onset of the disease varies, with the condition prolonging and the disease progressing slowly, which can lead to varying degrees of renal dysfunction and ultimately develop into a group of glomerulonephritis with chronic kidney failure.
