Many parents of children with nephrotic syndrome are very anxious when they hear that their children have such a disease. They want to give their children a good treatment as soon as possible, but they are worried about the adverse effects of hormones, and they have heard that there are some Chinese medicine prescriptions that can be used to cure the disease. So parents are torn, how to treat nephrotic syndrome in the end? It is also true that in clinical work, we encountered many parents consulting, “Is it feasible to give children Chinese medicine?” Now a unified reply: In fact, Chinese medicine has a history of more than 2000 years. Before Western medicine was introduced to China, Chinese medicine was the only means to treat diseases and maintain human health, and its scientificity and value have been tested by history. Western medicine was born in the West, it also made great contributions to the survival and development of mankind, and the theories developed very rapidly, with endless treatments. Objectively speaking, for the treatment of kidney disease, Chinese and Western medicine have their own advantages. Here is an example, for nephrotic syndrome, Western medicine’s hormone therapy is reliable and stable, but the side effects are relatively large, such as children’s appetite is too good, very excited, restless, always clearing their throat, easy to catch a cold, which are more difficult to deal with in Western medicine; single Chinese medicine treatment is not as effective as hormone therapy is stable. It is worth noting that the side effects of hormones can be reduced through the use of Chinese medicine. Therefore, the Department of Pediatrics of Nanjing General Hospital of Nanjing Military Region has chosen to combine Chinese and Western medicine, that is, hormone therapy is the main treatment in the early stage of the disease, supplemented by proprietary Chinese medicine with unique efficacy (children’s kidney health, children’s kidney clear, etc.) to reduce side effects; in the middle stage of the disease, that is, when hormones are gradually reduced, supplemented by Chinese medicine to reduce colds and recurrence (immune spirit In the middle stage of the disease, that is, when the hormone dosage is gradually reduced, Chinese herbal medicines are used to reduce colds and recurrence (Immune Spirit Oral Liquid, etc.); in the late stage of the disease, that is, when the hormone dosage is small and for a period of time after discontinuation, Chinese herbal medicines are used to consolidate the treatment (Bai Ling Tablets, Huai Qi Huang Granules, etc.), mainly to strengthen the spleen, tonify the kidneys and regulate yin and yang. Whether in Western hospitals or Chinese hospitals, the combination of Chinese and Western medicine in the treatment of kidney disease has become a consensus. However, we would like to remind the parents of children that the so-called “prescriptions” that can be used to cure the disease are not very credible, and they must go to a regular Chinese hospital for supplementary Chinese medicine treatment.
