Hormone can not cure the renal failure

Renal failure is a severe and common kidney disease. Some people consider that renal failure is a irreversible terminal disease, but that's not true. The renal failure will become life-threatening because they have taken the wrong treatment, then delayed their condition. For example, hormone therapy is one of these wrong treatments.


In the conventional treatment of kidney disease, hormone therapy is the common method to control renal proteinuria and occult blood. The therapy can treat the symptoms tentatively, but if the patient suffer from a cold or fatigue, the disease will come back again. Repeated use of hormone will worsen the situation, inducing renal failure symptoms such as lacking in strength, loss of appetite, sick, etc.
As a matter of fact, proteinuria and occult blood due to nephritis is because glomerular basement membrane have suffered severe damage. Using controlled drugs alone can only control the symptoms but not cure the nephritis. Besides, hormone therapy have plenty of side effects such as skin disease, digestive system complications and infections, which can bring great burden to nephritis patients.

Thus we can see that the hormone therapy can only be taken as a supplementary method for the treatment of nephritis, patients need someone other proper treatment to help them get rid of the disease. Hope you will recover soon!
