Dr. Zhao Xinju
Symptoms of the damp-heat type of nephritis include abdominal distension and pain, dysuria or dribbling urination, as well as lower limb edema and soreness in the waist and knees. As the condition progresses, it may adversely affect kidney function. Once diagnosed, patients are advised to undergo treatment with traditional Chinese medicine, using herbs that clear heat, resolve dampness, promote diuresis, and relieve urinary discomfort.
