Can long term use of hormones reduce the level of antinuclear antibodies in the blood? 50

I am a Western rheumatologist. For systemic lupus erythematosus, traditional Chinese medicine is only an auxiliary role, and Western medicine is more effective. The TCM specialist you found asked you to continue taking high doses of hormones, and he had no confidence in his TCM skills at all!

He only knows a little about Western medicine, and letting you take a large dose of hormones may harm you! The dosage and reduction of hormones can be irregular, and many complications can occur. Although Western medicine is also hormone-based, it is a comprehensive and balanced one, which not only needs to be the primary disease, but also to prevent complications.

It does not cure this disease, but it gives birth to other diseases. Since you want to use hormones**, why not find a Western medicine expert to come up with a plan? Therefore, I think that you should first go to a Western medicine expert to systematically give you a check-up, understand the current stage of development of your disease, formulate a plan according to the situation, which drugs are reasonable and effective, how much dosage to use, how long to take them, etc.

On this basis, you can take some Chinese medicine as an auxiliary**. For Western medicine**, glucocorticoids, which are what you call hormones, are the drugs of choice, which suppress immunity, reduce the production of antinuclear antibodies, reduce inflammatory responses, and so on. Generally, Western doctors have corresponding TCM prescriptions in their hands.

If you can't believe it, you can go to a TCM expert in a regular hospital to prescribe a Chinese medicine prescription and take it at the same time. Don't listen to TV commercials or exaggerated claims from personal hospitals, or you'll regret it! From the bottom of your heart, please think more!

I sincerely hope that you will get rid of the plague of illness and recover your health as soon as possible!!

As my understanding of medicine, I can tell you directly that long-term hormone consumption not only seriously deforms the body, but also causes diabetes, high blood pressure, nail fungus, brain blockage and other diseases, and may not be able to see clearly because of the total fat on the face. Whether or not to continue taking hormones depends on your constitution and whether you have developed a dependence on hormones! Some patients who have been taking hormones for a long time have developed a dependence on hormones, and it is difficult to stop.

Mainly based on traditional Chinese medicine**! The self-made comfrey detoxification granules in our hospital are very effective for lupus erythematosus! During the period of taking the drug, you can slowly reduce the dose of hormones until you stop!

But as for the complications that have arisen with you, only symptomatic ** to alleviate the patient's pain!

However, I still advise against taking hormone pills, because it will only shorten your life gradually, and my family runs a pharmacy.

Hormones are resolutely not stopped, even if you eat half a tablet a day, traditional Chinese medicine is just an auxiliary, to help reduce hormones and regulate your own immunity, I don't know how far you are now, and what is the large dose you are talking about? I took Medola 8 tablets.

All antibodies belong to the scope of immunity!

Antinuclear antibodies (antinuclear

Antibody, ANA) is the most common type of autoantibody in the serum of patients with autoimmune diseases, and ANA detection is of great significance for the diagnosis of autoimmune diseases. ANA has traditionally been a general term for autoantibodies against nuclear antigenic components, including DNA, RNA, proteins, or molecular complexes of these substances. In recent years, the concept of ANA has been expanded, referring to autoantibodies against all antigenic components of eukaryotic cells (including nucleic acids, nuclear proteins, cytoskeleton and cytosolic components, etc.), antibodies are mainly IgG, but also include IgA, IGM, IGD and IgE, which can react with the corresponding antigenic components of different species** cells.

ANA is mainly found in the blood, but it can also be found in bodily fluids such as pleural fluid and synovial fluid in joints. ANA testing is the screening of choice for many autoimmune disease diagnoses.

If the landlord really can't do without the treatment of hormones. Then the following points should be understood.

Not everyone who takes hormones for a long time will have necrosis of the femoral head.

The underlying cause of necrosis of the femoral head is a disorder of blood supply to the blood vessels. Therefore, it is one of the most important factors to enhance the strength of the blood. And there's only one surest way to do this, and that's to exercise.

No matter what the condition, it is very important to strengthen the physical fitness. It is recommended to keep exercising in a way that does not further damage the femoral head to improve physical fitness. Recommended: Swimming.

The landlord is optimistic and positive, although it is not very clear whether there will be femoral head necrosis now, but with the efforts of the landlord, the probability of femoral head necrosis can be clearly reduced, which is also a success.

Of course, these are only some superficial suggestions, and if the specific situation is not clear, you should still follow the advice of your competent doctor to be most accurate.
