The smoothie for prevention and treatment of Minimal mesangial glomerulonephritis induced by Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)
Yield: 2 servings (about 8 ounces each)
1/ 4 cup Blueberry
1 cup grape
1/4 cup peanut
1/4 tsp curcumin(optional)
1 cup green tea drink (Make from 4 grams of green tea, a slice of ginger and a cup of hot water lipped for 5 minutes, and let cool to room temperature)
1. Place all ingredients in a blender and puree about 1 minute
2. Blend on high speed about 1 minute or until the mixture is thick and the ice is well crushed.
3. Serve immediately

The finding of a natural source for treatment of Malarial nephropathy  has been running into many obstacles, many ingredients showed initially with promising result in animal studies have not produced same potentials in large sample size and mutli centers human trials.

Minimal mesangial glomerulonephritis is a type of glomerulonephritis, affecting 10% to 25% of patients with lupus nephritis SLE, a disease of the autoimmune system.

Green tea has been a precious drink in traditional Chinese culture and used exceptional in socialization for more than 4000 thousand years. Due to its commercial values and health effects, green tea now has been cultivated all over the world in suitable climate. According to Kyushu University, chronic drinking of tea may attenuate the risk of Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)(1)

Major phytochemical constituent isolated from green tea, in National Defense Medical Center study, expressed the prophylactic effects on lupus nephritis in prevented proteinuria, renal function impairment, and severe renal lesions through antioxidant and free radical scavenging and anti pro inflammatory activities(2).

Furthermore, the antioxidant also manifested the cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity is associated with increased oxidative stress and inflammatory cytokines in the kidney, including inhibiting NF-kappaB, the pro inflammatory pathway(3).

Resveratrol is a phytochemical in the class of Stilbenoids, found abundantly in grape, blueberry and peanuts, may also display anti Minimal mesangial glomerulonephritis induced by Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) through its immune-modulated effects(5). According to the joint study led by the Peking Union Medical College and Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, resveratrol exhibited protective effects in pristane-induced lupus mice via anti-inflammation and immune-regulatory properties(4).

Turmeric is a perennial plant in the genus Curcuma, belonging to the family Zingiberaceae, native to tropical South Asia. The herb has been used in trditional medicine as anti-oxidant, hypoglycemic, colorant, antiseptic, wound healing agent, and to treat flatulence, bloating, and appetite loss, ulcers, eczema, inflammations, etc. its chemical constituent curcumin exhibited anti SLE effects through maintaining the balance between T helper 17 (Th17) and regulatory T cells (Treg)(6).
According to the University of Chicago, curcumin increased the expression of IgG deposits in protection against altered the transport of immune complexes leading to an increase in IgG deposits which could induce inflammatory pathways thereby leading to worsening of the disease(7).

Furthermore, oral administration of turmeric supplementation can decrease proteinuria, hematuria, and systolic blood pressure in patients suffering from relapsing or refractory lupus nephritis, the Shiraz University of Medical Sciences suggested(8).

The smoothie of Green Tea, Blueberry, Grape, Peanut and Curcumin may hold a key in further studies in production of effective natural ingredients for prevention and treatment of any type of Minimal mesangial glomerulonephritis induced by SLEwithout inducing adverse effects.

People who are at increased risk of any of Minimal mesangial glomerulonephritis induced by SLE, due to family history, weaken immunity... should drink at least one cup daily. People with Minimal mesangial glomerulonephritis induced by SLE, should drink no more than 4 servings daily, depending to the digestive toleration.
