Clinical cases of chronic nephritis have been treated with moxibustion, but moxibustion only plays an auxiliary role, and the conventional treatment of chronic nephritis is based on drugs, surgery and dialysis.
Moxibustion with Shen Que, Guan Yuan, Foot San Li and other acupuncture points, can achieve warm dispersal of cold, elimination of stasis and dissipation of stagnation, return of yang and fixation of prolapse (treatment of prolapsed diseases by replenishing yang qi), raising yang and lifting up the sinking (raise the yang qi of the body in order to lift up the sinking organs), invigorate the blood and vitality of qi, warming the meridians and collaterals, pulling out the toxin and diarrhea and heat, etc..
However, moxibustion treatment for chronic nephritis only plays an auxiliary role and cannot be used as a main treatment.
The treatment of chronic nephritis is based on drugs such as hydrochlorothiazide, cyclosporine A, tacrolimus, etc. When the drugs cannot control the condition, kidney transplantation can be considered to restore kidney function. If patients with chronic nephritis are more serious and cannot find a suitable kidney source, they can be treated by hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis to replace the kidneys to remove excessive metabolic waste from the body.
Patients with chronic nephritis should have to decide whether to use moxibustion treatment according to their physical condition. Chronic nephritis patients should go to the hospital to see the doctor in time and be guided by the doctor to choose the treatment plan for chronic nephritis.
