New Treatment for Protein in Urine in Children Nephrotic Syndrome

Nephrotic Syndrome is an autoimmune disease seen more in children aged 18 months to 8 years. In this disease, the blood vessels in the kidneys are damaged due to a malfunction of the immune system of the body, which causes inflammation of the kidneys. Patients with this disorder often have high levels of protein in urine. Is there any treatment which can eliminate this problem?

Cause of protein in urine in Children Nephrotic Syndrome

The kidneys are like body's filters, which remove wastes from the blood via the urine and return the cleaned blood back to the body. Each kidney had millions of units to filter blood called glomeruli. Glomeruli are tiny blood vessels that form a meshwork in the kidney which can cleanse the blood and get rid of wastes, excess salt, and waste, while keep things that the body needs, such as proteins and blood cells.

When the kidneys become diseased, they fail to prevents a majority of protein from getting filtered into the urine. Normally, a person losses less than 150 mg of protein in the urine in a 24-hour period. However, a child of Nephrotic Syndrome will lose more than 0.05 g/kg body weight or more protein during a 24-hour period.

Is there any treatment for protein in urine in Children Nephrotic Syndrome?

To reduce Urine Protein, steroid medication will be prescribed, and the protein disappears from the urine within a short period of time. This is only a remission rather than cure, as the symptoms can come back, known as a relapse. The disease will often recur once or several times. Then, how to cure the disease?

Actually, the correct treatment for eliminating the leakage of protein should focus on repair the damaged renal filters, restore the kidney function and regulate the overall immune system. Only in this way, proteinuria will disappear forever and the disease can be treated, or even cured.

Immunotherapy is just such a new breakthrough. Under this treatment, all of the above goals can be achieved.
