What is Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS)?
Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is scar tissue that forms in parts of the kidneys' tiny filters called glomeruli. The glomeruli function to help rid the body of unnecessary or harmful substances. Each kidney has thousands of glomeruli.
Focal=some
Segmental=sections
Glomerulo=of kidney filters
Sclerosis=are scarred
FSGS causes inefficient filtering of wastes from the blood which in return causes the following symptoms:
Proteinuria - Large amounts of protein "spilling" into the urine
Edema - Swelling in parts of the body, most noticeable around the eyes, hands and feet, that can become painful
Hypertension - High blood pressure
Hypoproteinemia - Low blood protein
Hypercholesterolemia - High level of cholesterol in the blood
Proteinuria Treatment aims to decrease the amount of protein lost in the urine
Causes of Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS)
1. The main causes of FSGS include two aspects: the internal kidney reason like reduced immunity and the external kidney reason like antigens of the infection, cold, etc. In case of the decrease of immunity, the pathologic foreign bodies, as some type of antigens, will combined with antibody after invading into human body, and then form immune complex (mainly featured by IgG and C3 deposition).
2. Secondary FSGS
* Secondary to viral infections such as HIV, parvovirus, and hepatitis B.
* Massive obesity
* Sickle cell nephropathy
* Congenital cyanotic heart disease
Treat FSGS with Chinese Medicine
Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is a proper treatment, which can clear away IgG and C3,etc. The Chinese medicine is micronized into one thousandths of its original size. With the action of the microwave, the medicine can arrive directly at the renal lesions through skin and channels on the back. At the same time, Chinese medicine for nourishing qi and blood has to be used to strengthen immunity. Then we have to repair the remaining inherent cells and the damaged cells so as to recover its function.
(1)Micro-Chinese Medicine is abstracted from Chinese herbs, without any side effect.
(2) With the help of penetrant and osmosis devices, effective Chinese Medicine is penetrated into renal lesion by external application. (As you know, any oral taking medicines will affect kidney more or less).
(3) The therapeutic mechanism of this therapy is to block the process of renal fibrosis, dilate blood vessels, promote the micro-blood circulation, repair the damaged renal intrinsic cells, and remove the stasis in channels. At the same time, Chinese Medicine has the effect like anti-inflammation, anti-coagulation, preventing blood viscosity and degrading extra cellular matrixes.
