I have FSGS and i have never taken herbal treatment!. i asked my doctor about it once and he said do not do chinese herbs and those types of things!. they are not regulated whats in them and a lot of the things in them are harmful to the kidneys!. please consult a doctor before doing anything like that!.
i was almost put on the transplant list but i got better and now my kidneys are functioning normally!.
i take prograf, calcium, iron, vitamin D, aspirin, enalipril, diamox, bumex, prednisone!. i used to take epogen shots as well but i am not anemic anymore
keep fighting and i wish her good luck!. i know what she is going throughWww@Answer-Health@Com

I am not a doctor!.!.!.just another gal who has many, many health problems and would **LOVE** to get off approximately half of the 15 different medications doctors have piled on me!. Some are good/worth it, others are probably just making me even worse!. I have approximately 15 different diagnoses!. Probably more!.!.!.*whines*!. I have been doing a *lot* of research on natureopathic medicine in the past year!. Based on what I have learned so far, I strongly advise that your sister consult her doctor PRIOR to using any herbs!. If she uses the wrong ones, it could actually make her kidney failure even worse!. Nope!. Not worth it!. Dialysis can actually save her life while she is waiting for her turn at getting the transplant!. Even worse, some herbs and supplements can interfere with her kidney medications!. Sadly, this is a health condition where major medical intervention is necessary!. Another option would be to consult with a naturopathic or holistic kidney specialist!. Be careful in choosing one though!. Check his/her credentials on the web--YES folks, you can actually check and make sure your doctor is legitimate--with minimal issues or complaints against him/her!. Good luck!. Let us know what happens so we can all learn from this!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Many herbal treatments can be nephrotoxic (toxic to the liver)!. I would be vary careful before taking anything and consult a doctor first!.
