How to defeat iga nephropathy Kidney disease treatment cannot be rushed

Iga nephropathy is currently the most common primary glomerulonephritis. The medical community currently believes that this type of kidney disease is a relatively benign kidney disease with a relatively slow onset. Through scientific treatment, about 1/10 of patients can get good relief, but most patients suffer serious damage to the kidneys after a slow onset. For patients, treatment must be gradual and not too anxious.

Statistics show that approximately 25% of IgA nephropathy patients will develop ESRD within 20 years. Although some understanding of the onset of IgA nephropathy has been gained in recent years, the exact pathogenesis of the disease is still unclear, and no specific treatment plan is widely accepted, including ACEI, ARB, hormones, Omega-3 fatty acids or tonsillectomy.

It is worth noting that medication for IgA nephropathy should not be used in a hurry. In clinical practice, we often encounter some kidney disease patients who are eager to cure the disease. After the doctor prescribes some western medicine, they buy some unrelated medicines at the pharmacy and mix them together, or stop taking the medicine at will. This approach not only fails to cure kidney disease, but accelerates renal failure, making the condition more complicated and more difficult to treat.

For example, some patients with nephritis were prescribed the Western medicine prednisone by doctors. After taking it for a period of time, the patients found that they became fatter and developed acne on their faces, so they stopped taking the prednisone at will. If you take prednisone for a long time, the endogenous hormone secretion will decrease. If you stop taking it suddenly, the hormone your body needs will not be enough, which will cause adrenal crisis and endanger your life. Therefore, you cannot take it or stop taking it randomly. You must take or stop taking it under the guidance of a doctor.

Because kidney disease is difficult to treat, no matter what kind of medicine is used, there will be side effects of varying degrees, and the dosage and course of treatment need to be adjusted according to the condition of the disease. Otherwise, the disease will recur, continuously aggravating the damage to the kidneys, and eventually become uncontrollable. Therefore, patients must adhere to consistent and systematic treatment under the guidance of a doctor until they recover.
