73 years old,Nephrotic Syndrome 20 years back,creatinine levels kept rising

My mother is 73 years old, she was diagnosed with Nephrotic Syndrome 20 years back. 3 months ago, her creatinine levels kept rising and she got severe dehydration that she was addmitted to the hospital. hER eCHO DIAGNOSIS is Chronic Parenchymal Disease - stage 3. Her Nephrologist suggests dIalysis so they had made her a shunt (fistula) to heal and start dialysis as soon as the healing process is done. I am enquiring abour how far would Chinse Osmotherapy could help her and avoid dialysis and improve her ( knowing that we live in Cairo-Egypt). If you need i can attach all her reports as soon as you reply. I would also like to know how long, and how much is the cost in case osmotherapy would help her. Kind Regards
Nephrotic syndrome can be caused by a wide variety of glomerular diseases. It may follow bacterial or viral infection, malignant tumors and administration of some drugs. Some immune diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus, allergic purpura and diabetes mellitus can be complicated by nephrotic syndrome. This disease is included in the categories of "shui zhong" (edema), and "xu lao" (consumptive diseases) in TCM.
Main Points of Diagnosis
1. Heavy proteinuria, accompanied with edema and hypoproteinemia, are three major manifestations of this syndrome. Urinary protein excretion exceeds 3.5g per day. The serum albumin is lower than 30g per liter. Severe edema may appear if serum albumin is lower than 15g per liter.
2. The alteration of blood pressure varies with different types of the disease. Hyperlipemia is common, particularly increased cholesterol.
3. About 75 per cent of cases with nephrotic syndrome are caused by primary glomerular diseases. In children nearly 80 per cent of cases are nephrotic syndrome of minute lesion type. The rest are secondary to other diseases. Renopuncture biopsy is of much help in confirming the cases of the diseases and indicating treatment.
