TCM Treatment for Chronic Kidney Disease

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) refers to a broad range of medicine practices sharing common theoretical concepts which have been developed in China and are based on a tradition of more than 2,000 years, including various forms of herbal medicine, acupuncture, and dietary therapy. It can be used to treat chronic kidney disease as well. How does it play roles?
Firstly, let’s know some knowledge about what is chronic kidney disease. If a person has more than three months’ symptoms such as proteinuria, hematuria, edema, high blood pressure and pain in the back, with or without decreased glomerular filtration rate, he will be diagnosed with chronic kidney disease. Since these symptoms take place, we should find out the reasons and the solution to diminish the symptoms especially proteinuria and hemtaturia.
Why do proteinuria and hematuria come into being? In kidney, there are millions of renal nephrons which can play roles of kidney such as filtration, and so on. In each renal nephron, we can see renal mesangial area, in which there are renal basilar membranes. Through this, some molecules such as creatinine, blood urea nitrogen and urea acid will leak out. However, when people have suffered from kidney disease, the pores will become bigger, so the bigger molecules will leak out, which leads to hematuria and proteinuria.
And after trying western medicine, a lot of kidney disease patients hear that traditional Chinese medicine can treat chronic kidney disease with a better effect. Why?
Different from hormones and immunosuppressive agent, which can only inhibit the symptoms for the time being, traditional Chinese medicine can repair the damaged renal intrinsic cells, which can treat chronic kidney disease fundamentally.
Traditional Chinese medicines are herbs and even animals which are collected from nature. According to Chinese medicine theory, the things in the world generate and restrict each other, so if there is a disease, there must be a kind of therapy which can treat it.
As for traditional Chinese medicine, it contains much nutritious materials which can supply nutrition, thus improving the insufficiency of blood and oxygen in the kidney and creating a clean environment for the repairing. Next, after the first step, the active materials in the traditional Chinese medicine can discharge out and play roles, repairing the damaged intrinsic cells and reviving renal function.
In addition, compared with western medicine, another important feature is that traditional Chinese medicine has no side effect, which is more suitable for the children. Children as we know, is in a critical stage, too much western medicine can influence the growth of the children.
