Holistic Approach to Stage 4 Chronic Kidney Disease in China: Immunotherapy


NKF created a guideline to help identify each level of Chronic Kidney Disease. It is divided into 5 stages:
Stage 1 -- normal or high GFR (GFR >90 ml/min)
Stage 2-- mild (GFR =60-89 ml/min)
Stage 3--Moderate CKD (GFR = 30-59 ml/min)
Stage 4--Severe CKD (GFR = 15-29 ml/min)
Stage 5--End Stage CKD (GFR <15 ml/min)
As for Stage 4 Chronic Kidney Disease, GFR declines to 15-29 ml/min, which means a person with stage 4 CKD has already suffered from a serious damage in his kidneys. In most cases, people with Stage 4 Chronic Kidney Disease have a good chance to take dialysis or kidney transplant shortly after. What you need to know is that stage 4 CKD is a vital phase on preventing your condition from developing into ESRF.
In Stage 4 Chronic Kidney Disease, you should keep close touch with your doctor. The doctor will monitor conditions such as creatinine, phosphorus, calcium, high blood pressure and diabetes. Dialysis or kidney transplant will be required. In addition, a professional dietitian can be used.
As the NKF guidelines recommend, dialysis should be started as your kidney function drops to 15% or even less. What we are trying to do is to put off dialysis or kidney transplant as long as possible.
In China, Immunotherapy is adopted as a promising treatment for kidney diseases. Under this therapy, patients with Stage 4 Chronic Kidney Disease have great hope to live a fully normal life with their own kidneys.
