Lupus nephritis- Symptoms, causes & Ayurvedic prevention

 

Every country needs armed forces to defend their people, nation, and to combat against external threats prowling around the nation to cause mayhem across the nation. Without an army, the nation is defenceless and is exposed to various external threats that can keep lives of millions of innocent people at stake.

This is what our body precisely does to keep you alive and functioning in various environmental and biological stresses. The human body consists of a natural defence system that we call the immune system. Our Immune system is our body’s armed forces that keep us safe against many severe diseases, infections and viruses that try to invade the territories of our body and interfere with various bodily processes which can make you sick.

But there are several environmental conditions, diseases, and agents that can make your immune system work abnormally that can mistakenly misfire on your own cells, tissues and organs and cause severe damage to your body. This major malfunction that occurs inside your body is a serious health condition that is termed as Lupus Nephritis. Let’s dig a little deeper into this problem to make you aware about it’s primary causes and symptoms that come along with it.

Proliferative nephritis is more lethal than lupus nephritis as it can permanently damage your kidneys, and you may need to undergo dialysis or kidney transplantation to live. Researchers believe that lupus nephritis is the result of a malfunction caused due to a combination of environmental and genetic factors.
