How to reduce kidney damage for Lupus nephritis patients


Lupus nephritis how to reduce kidney damage and other issues of concern are the majority of patients, Shijiazhuang kidney hospital for a brief "lupus nephritis how to reduce the renal injury
In the treatment of lupus nephritis, the use of immunosuppressive agents to control disease activity is certainly important, but only concerned about the treatment of lupus and ignore the protection of the kidneys may eventually lead to treatment failure, kidney failure. In fact, due to more serious kidney damage caused by lupus activity, even if the lupus is inactive, kidney disease can still continue to increase, kidney sclerosis, leading to renal failure. Thus, in the course of treatment of lupus nephritis, renal protection must be a message, to avoid kidney failure. If some patients relapse due to lupus activity or delayed treatment, treatment may have varying degrees of renal failure, should try to make the development of kidney damage. So these factors can aggravate kidney damage?
First, high blood pressure. Lupus nephritis is often complicated by high blood pressure, hypertension is the strongest risk factors for worsening renal function in lupus nephritis patients to a message with or without increased blood pressure, high blood pressure to ensure the strict control.
Followed by urinary protein. Urinary protein not only reflect glomerular damage, but also cause tubulointerstitial damage, leading to one of the risk factors for kidney disease progress. Reduce proteinuria can reduce the damage to the kidneys play a role in protecting the kidneys. Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors such as benazepril and angiotensin receptor antagonists, such as Diovan and other drugs can reduce urinary protein, slowing renal sclerosis, play a role in protection of the kidney. Such as urinary protein persists, even with normal blood pressure can also use these drugs.
Third: nephrotoxic drugs. Some drugs often have damage to the kidneys, such as sulfa, card neomycin, gentamicin, polymyxin B and other antibiotics; Chinese medicine (especially manshuriensis,, anti, etc.); analgesic agents.

Once the infection should be timely treatment, timely medication.
Fifth: obesity. Obesity is a major problem of public health hazards in the current global context. Obesity, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, coronary heart disease risk factors, can also be an increase in urinary protein, increased kidney damage.
