Patient Stories

In September 2019, 52-year-old Mr. Chen (pseudonym) was admitted with severe nephrotic syndrome. Critically ill and severely edematous, he had sought treatment nationwide without improvement and even prepared his final affairs. Conventional therapies had limited effect, but TCM kidney-protection therapy held great promise. Following treatment, his symptoms disappeared, edema resolved, with a cumulative weight loss of 38.2 kg. This efficacy was reported by provincial media.

In August 2014, 72-year-old Grandma Yan (pseudonym) was admitted with severe bilateral kidney atrophy (left 7.8×3.9 cm, right 8.8×4.3 cm) and creatinine of 448 μmol/L. After prior failed treatments elsewhere, her condition worsened. Our hospital applied integrated Chinese-Western kidney-protection therapy. After systematic regulation, her creatinine declined and kidney function stabilized within normal range. In April 2025, she visited Dr. Li in Wuhan — a bond spanning over a decade.

In November 2006, a critically ill patient, Mr. Shen (pseudonym), struggled into Changchun Jingcheng Kidney Disease Hospital supported by his family. At that time, he was severely edematous throughout his body, with abdominal skin cracked from severe edema — resembling pregnancy stretch marks. Even drinking water was extremely difficult. He had already developed heart failure and once despaired of whether he could leave the hospital alive.

This patient first came to our hospital 20 years ago with severe nephrotic syndrome (urine protein approximately 8 g). After half a year of treatment, her proteinuria successfully turned negative and remained stable for 18 years. Later, due to letting down her guard with irregular diet and lifestyle, her condition severely relapsed. At admission, her urine protein was 3+ (quantified at 3.46 g), blood pressure reached 180 mmHg, accompanied by severe abnormalities in multiple metabolic markers.

A 17-year-old chronic renal failure patient with type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome was advised elsewhere to prepare for dialysis and told he "could only live five years." The family was extremely pessimistic. At our hospital, President Wang applied an integrated Chinese-Western approach focused on clearing damp-heat and increasing renal blood flow. In just over ten days, his serum creatinine plummeted from 576 to 64, reversing the disease course and rekindling the family's hope.

For a 17-year-old kidney disease patient, our hospital reduced his serum creatinine from 69 to normal through precise reexamination and comprehensive intervention, with significant improvement in vascular damage markers. We emphasize "prevention over treatment," helping patients build lifelong self-management and prevent long-term complications through diet, lifestyle, and weight control. Using the Life Therapy Device and acupuncture, we safeguard his kidney health for 10–20 years.

"I probably wouldn't be in this world anymore." Recalling the desperate situation at admission, the patient still shudders at the memory. At that time, all his internal organs were severely failing, and his condition was so critical that his father had already prepared burial clothes for him.

Initially treated with conventional immunosuppressive therapy at a local hospital, the patient's condition failed to improve — instead, his weight surged from ~80 kg to 92 kg, causing severe physical and mental distress. After seeking help in vain, he found our hospital online. Following systematic targeted treatment, his weight dropped to 65 kg. He now walks with vigor, and his quality of life has substantially improved.
