Light Chain Nephropathy is not very common kidney disease. People often are not familiar with this disease as well as the treatment. Here this article simply provides information about treatment for Light Chain Nephropathy.
Multipul Myeloma Related Nephropathy (or Light Chain Nephropathy). It is one complication of Multiple Myoloma (MM). MM is characteristic of abnormal hyperplasia of plasma cells. Abnormal plasma cells, also known as myeloma cells, attack bone marrow and sclerotin. Besides, due to abnormal hyperplasia of plasma cells, excess light chain is produced in serum. Once such chain deposits on tissue or organs, the tissues or oranges is damaged to some degrees. Due to that kidney is the organ that is in charge of filtering blood, light chain in serum surely deposits on glomeruli and renal tubules, resulting in kidney function impairment.
Based on the characteristics of Light Chain Nephropathy, Chinese herb medicine and Stem Cell Transplant are recommended.
How does Chinese herb medicine treat this disease?
Chinese herb medicine treats Light Chain Nephropathy by stopping the progression of renal fibrosis and repairing the damaged renal functional cells.
Stop the progression of renal fibrosis
Chinese herb medicine stops the progression for renal fibrosis in the following aspects:
1) Remove harmful factors that can speed up fibrosis. Such factors include light chain deposition, inflammation, blood clot, blood viscosity and extra cellular matrixes. Some herb medicines have effects of anti-inflammation, anti-coagulation as well as preventing blood viscosity and degrading extra cellular matrixes. Therefore, they are able to remove such harmful factors. And thereby ischemia and anoxia improve. Naturally, the progression of fibrosis is stopped.
2) Clear up metabolic wastes in the blood. Metabolic wastes are continuously produced in our body. Healthy kidneys can filter the blood and excrete them out. However, the damaged kidneys cannot work normally, resulting in accumulation of such metabolic wastes, such as creatinine, uric acid, urea, etc. Such wastes will lead to ischemia and anoxia of kidneys, so they need to be cleared up timely.
After clearing up harmful factors and metabolic wastes in the blood, the patients have a clear inside milieu. That is good for stem cells to grow and take effect.
Repair the damaged renal functional cells
Chinese herb medicine repairs the damage renal functional cell in the following aspects:
1) Improve micro blood circulation. Some Chinese herbs have the function of improving blood circulation. A good blood circulation provides an ideal milieu for repairing cells.
2) Provide necessary ingredients for the repair progress. Chinese herbs can supply vitamin, micronutrients, organic acid, etc.
3) Stimulate DNA replication of the damaged cells, thus speeding up the progress of cells’ self-repair.
4) Regulate immune system. Chinese herb medicine can help to regulate immune system. This is also important for people with renal failure. As we know patients have weak immunity. Under such circumstances, they are easy to attacked by virus and then develop some disease.
How do stem cells treat Light Chain Nephropathy?
Stem cells are original cells that are cultivated from umbilical cord of healthy babies. They have powerful ability of self-renewing and differentiating into various renal functional cells. When transfused into the body, they can reach at renal lesions under directly.There stem cells firstly produce more by mitosis and then differentiate into renal functional cells to replace those dead ones. And they also can stimulate growth factors in the body to repair the damaged renal functional cells. By this way, Stem Cell Transplant effectively treats Light Chain Nephropathy.
