Other Alternative to Kidney Transplant for GFR 16

GFR 16 means the condition is in late stage of CKD stage 4, the renal function has been severely damaged. Perhaps, in most countries, the only choice will be kidney transplant. However, in Beijing Tongshantang Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, there is no kidney transplant, which undoubtedly brings patients new hopes. Then what is the alternative to kidney transplant?

Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy and other Chinese therapies are regarded as the alternatives to kidney transplant, that is because they aim at saving kidneys by repairing kidney damage and recovering renal function. Once kidneys can work by themselves, kidney transplant becomes useless.

Let’s take Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy for an example. It is based on Chinese herbal medicine, but used externally. Kidney failure patients need to lie on bed to take the treatment, and osmosis device will be used to help active materials directly arrive at kidneys through permeating into skin. After functions of extending blood vessels, improving blood circulation, removing blood stasis and immune complexes out of body, offering kidneys nutrients and promoting DNA replication of damaged inherent cells, renal function will be increased, thus increasing GFR 16 further and avoiding kidney transplant.

For those patients with GFR 16 or lower levels, a successful kidney transplant can really help improve life expectancy to a large extent. But some patients are not suitable to receive such an operation, what is more, if the primary disease belongs to autoimmune disease such as IgA Nephropathy, FSGS, lupus nephritis and so on, then the relapse rate after transplant can be very high. In that case, Chinese therapies can be their other choices.
