Autoimmune Liver and Kidney Diseases Treatment by Dr. Praveen M. P.
Autoimmune liver and kidney diseases are complex conditions where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its own tissues, leading to inflammation and damage in the liver and kidneys. Dr. Praveen M. P., a renowned expert in internal medicine and immunology, offers comprehensive care and treatment plans tailored to manage these challenging disorders effectively.
Understanding Autoimmune Liver and Kidney Diseases
Autoimmune liver diseases, such as autoimmune hepatitis, primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), and primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), involve chronic inflammation that can result in liver fibrosis, cirrhosis, or liver failure if untreated. Similarly, autoimmune kidney diseases, including lupus nephritis and IgA nephropathy, can impair kidney function, leading to chronic kidney disease (CKD) or end-stage renal disease (ESRD).
Symptoms and Diagnosis
Patients with autoimmune liver diseases may experience fatigue, jaundice, abdominal discomfort, and elevated liver enzymes. Those with autoimmune kidney diseases may present with proteinuria, hematuria, swelling, and hypertension. Dr. Praveen M. P. emphasizes early diagnosis through advanced diagnostic tools such as:
Comprehensive blood tests to detect autoimmune markers.
Imaging studies like ultrasound, CT, or MRI for organ assessment.
Biopsies to confirm the extent of tissue damage.
Personalized Treatment Approach
Dr. Praveen M. P. adopts a patient-centered approach, offering personalized treatment plans that combine medical expertise with compassionate care. Treatment may include:
Immunosuppressive Therapy: Medications such as corticosteroids, azathioprine, or mycophenolate mofetil to reduce immune activity and inflammation.
Biologic Therapies: Targeted treatments like monoclonal antibodies to address specific immune pathways.
Lifestyle Modifications: Nutritional counseling, stress management, and physical activity to enhance overall health.
Regular Monitoring: Continuous assessment of organ function to adjust treatments and prevent complications.
