People with kidney patients often eat hormones, do you know its specific role

Although the hormone is not the most common drug in patients with kidney disease, but it is definitely the most famous kidney disease commonly used drugs. Do you know the true role of hormones do?

 Hormones used in the treatment of nephropathy are glucocorticoids, which are actually substances secreted by the kidneys themselves. When the kidneys are impaired, hormones are not secreted enough to be supplemented with oral hormones.
What is the role of hormones?
Mainly inhibit the inflammatory response, the so-called inflammatory response, in fact, human immune cells on the "foreign body" phagocytosis process. These "foreign bodies" mainly include bacteria, viruses, and substances produced by the body's own metabolism.
What are the benefits of inhibiting the inflammatory response?
Because the inflammatory response produces a large number of immune complexes, which are formed after immune cells engulf "foreign bodies," these immune complexes deposit on the kidneys and cause damage to the kidney cells.

The reason why hormones can reduce urinary protein, because most of the urinary protein production is due to inflammation.
Please note that although hormones can suppress the inflammatory response, the disappearance of urinary protein is the credit for the remaining nephrons.
That is, if the remaining nephrons are able to provide adequate support, the filtration of the kidneys is restored after the inflammatory response is suppressed.
If the remaining nephron units are deficient, urinary protein is not eliminated even if the inflammatory response is suppressed.

Another case, if it is caused by hypertension or diabetes urinary protein, hormones are also difficult to play a role.
In short, the main role of hormones is to suppress the inflammatory response, urinary protein can be eliminated, depending on the activity of the remaining nephrons.
