Chronic nephritis is best treated with a combination of Western and Chinese medicine. Some of the diseases should also be divided into different categories, may be Western medicine treatment immediately, then the use of Western medicine treatment. For example, nephrotic syndrome in the microscopic lesions, urine protein is very much, people are very swollen, urine is very little, the patient is very painful, often the vast majority of hormones are very effective, sometimes with the use of a quick relief. If such patients insist on taking Chinese medicine, the effect is slower and may not relieve the state of nephrotic syndrome at once. Moreover, if it is a child, a large amount of urine protein loss and long-term hypoproteinemia will affect the growth and development of the child. Some diseases may not have strong advantages of western medicine, but rather strong advantages of Chinese medicine, such as membranous nephropathy, which is a refractory nephrotic syndrome. The response to Western medicine is poor, sometimes with a long time hormones, with a lot of immunosuppressants, urine protein is always more. For membranous nephropathy Chinese medicine has absolute advantages, some patients do not need a western medicine, only Chinese medicine treatment can also completely achieve remission state. So we have to choose according to the disease, whether it is better to use Chinese medicine or western medicine. In a word, what drugs are good for patients, use what drugs. If Chinese medicine is good, use Chinese medicine; if Western medicine is good, use Western medicine. Of course, for the vast majority of patients, insisting on a combination of Chinese and Western medicines is certainly the best choice.
